Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 662 Weight

With the dragons successfully restrained by chains and ropes, Seara took a moment to consume some potions. The restorative effects of them quickly went to work, revitalizing her and allowing Rain to regain his magical abilities.

Initially, Rain considered entrusting the remaining dragons to the warriors to finish them off. However, as the chained dragons thrashed around, they posed a severe risk to the town's safety, with their powerful movements threatening to cause extensive damage.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Rain summoned enormous ice fists and delivered powerful punches to the rampaging dragons. His magic-infused blows helped to subdue the dragons and prevent further destruction, saving the city from their unchecked fury.

Besides, hoping that everyone would gain experience would be a bit too much. Rain began to receive experience in the middle of the fight, and that showed that the other dragons that he wounded had been dealt with by the warriors that he sent. That made him gain ten more levels in Berserk King's path.

"I am a bit overwhelmed… by the fact that my strength increased by fifty percent in a single night," Rain thought while checking his parameters. "I know, I killed thirteen dragons and helped twelve others to die, but even so…"

Putting Rain's complicated feelings aside, the warriors had returned before morning, and they came with the bodies of five dragons… five of them managed to escape, and around thirty warriors died facing them. Still, at least the clouds were dissipating since the ice dragons retreated.

Rain had always understood that in the grim reality of war, casualties were an unfortunate and inevitable consequence. He knew this truth well, having faced countless battles and witnessed the sacrifices made by those who fought alongside him.

However, this knowledge did little to alleviate the heavy burden he felt. Despite the fact that these particular warriors had not been under his personal training, their lives and dedication to defending their homes and people weighed on his conscience. The weight of every life lost in the battle still left a deep impression on him, and he couldn't help but feel troubled by it.

"Do you think that this is over?" Terra asked.

"I am not sure…" Rain said. "I was expecting that the remaining dragons would retreat, but I didn't think that the wounded ones would run away. That was pretty shameful considering their pride…"

"We need to confirm things underwater," Seara said.

"Your father told us to wait, though," Rain said.

Seara felt troubled… She didn't want to wait, but disobeying her father wasn't something that she wanted to do either. He spoiled her rotten, but Seara still knew that her actions had limits.

"Anyway, it is time to explain how you guys improved the seals," Rain said while he was dismantling the body of a dragon and trying to pull the bones of the creature to speed the production of weapons and armor.

"I am going to look after the kids, so that I will leave that to you," Terra said, and that made Seara sigh since it was something hard to explain.

Seara explained that she had made significant improvements to the inactive version of the seals. After conducting various tests and experiments with Terra, she found a way to make the seals semi-active. This meant that, even when the seals were not actively healing or providing Rain with mana, she could channel her own mana into them, enhancing their potential.

Seara had developed a technique where she could replicate the same sensation and control she felt when the seals were fully active, even when they remained on standby. By doing so, she could infuse the seals with her mana, essentially stockpiling energy within them, which would be released and harnessed by Rain when he needed it.

It was a remarkable breakthrough, as this allowed her to continually support Rain, even during moments of rest or inactivity, making her contributions even more invaluable to their cause. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"There are several limitations to it, though," Seara said. "One needs a high level of magic power for that to work. One can only use their mana, so potions won't help when my mana is full, and I need to enter a deep state of meditation. It is quite tiring."

"It still is very impressive… you did well," Rain said while patting Seara's head. "I know that you have been agonizing about not being able to fight with me at the frontlines, but you don't have to. It would be shameful for me as a man to let my wives get hurt for me on the battlefield."

"... Don't pat your wife like you pat a child," Seara said and then moved Rain's arm away.

"A massage then," Rain said.

"I don't want your massages filled with second intentions. Besides, you stink of blood." Seara said.

Rain shrugged… he truly smelled like blood, but he couldn't help but Wonder why his wives had to be so bashful during the day. In any case, Seara left, and then Rain resumed his work. Still, pulling the bones of the dragons was quite hard… even when Rain cut their flesh in many areas. It felt like their flesh was connected quite a bit to the bones, down to a molecular level.

Rain couldn't help but assume that such a thing helped them become tougher and lighter as well, despite their size. Something of their size was supposed to be at least one hundred tons heavy, but it wasn't even half of that.
