Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1174 - 1174: Missing

Over the next few days, a few hundred more members of the star vessel reached the third zone. Some people had a hard time fighting the monsters, and others had a hard time getting used to the situation since they were completely confused. Until now, no one has revealed that they had to fight and kill other allies; at least, no one assumed doing that. It was hard to confirm or deny it.

At the same time, they began to do some research on how they could make the people there recover their powers. Making people that use the paths system was easy within the domains, but they didn't have a system of their own, they only had cultivation ranks and there were too many ranks and classifications.

So, Isa was dealing with that, and the others were giving a hard time while Rain and the relics were working on how they could use the new system to their advantage while also learning the techniques and skills of the people there.

"This will be hard… the weapons made here, even the most basic sword, is essentially a conceptual weapon," Sakaki said.

"Explain that in layman's terms," Larisa said.

"A conceptual magical weapon is a theoretical weapon imbued with magical properties, often featured in fantasy literature, mythology, and role-playing games. Unlike conventional weapons, these magical weapons are not bound by the laws of physics and may possess extraordinary abilities, enchantments, or powers that defy the natural world," Sakaki explained.

"Conceptual magical weapons can take various forms, and their abilities may include anything from inflicting curses and casting spells to channeling elemental forces or granting special abilities to the wielder.

Examples of conceptual magical weapons include legendary swords, enchanted staffs, mystical artifacts, and items that bestow the power to control or manipulate magical energies… but in this case, these weapons here actively change the bodies of those who possess them.

They obtain the knowledge of the weapons just by having them… it is like suddenly watching a karate online class and suddenly becoming a karate master."

"We can do that to some extent, right?" Larisa asked.

"We can use our powers because we are living beings, even without living bodies," Sakaki said. "The weapons here are basically a mass of knowledge that become a part of the wielder. They are like familiars that power up the users. All in all, this kind of knowledge and technology is far behind anything we came up with. Forget about harnessing space and gravity magic.

This is essentially giving life to information."

"This is also the core of the system… the enemies have been around for too long. Aside from all the lifeforce and energy from the planets they attack, they also obtain their knowledge as well," Rain said. "This might be the foundation of the oldest and most advanced society in the universe."

"And… are you going to give up on learning their principles or not?" Vanessa asked.

"Well, thanks for downplaying the situation, Vanessa," Rain said.

"You are welcome," Vanessa said.

"... I want to learn this. It is probably the most useful thing that we can learn right now, but it will probably take far too long," Rain said.

"Even with my ability to read the information of people and objects, I can't do a thing to hack the information of how these weapons were created," Sakaki added. "They are more advanced than those robots we faced and that giant guy. We have a bunch of those weapons, and I analyzed all of them, and I didn't get anything more than I already knew."

"From what I understand, these weapons are basically the evolution of the relics that we can make using the runes, right?" Elisabetha asked.

"Yes, if you add possibly millions of years of research into that," Sakaki said.

"For now, we will have to treat that as a side project and focus on things that can increase the strength of the group right now," Rain declared. "The others are compiling the information of the people here and their techniques, and it will be our job to transform all that into skills and paths. As fast as possible… so no time to rest, sleep, or naps."

"So, it is the usual…" Nigel said.

"Welcome to the world," Rain said.

As Rain and the others went deeper into the intricacies of the path system, they discovered a fundamental aspect that could significantly boost the strength of the temporary allies: the infusion of pure mana. Unlike the residents of the star vessel, who primarily utilized mana, the inhabitants of this zone relied on spirituality, which was a bit different.

Through collaboration and shared knowledge, Rain and his team found a way to channel their mana into a form compatible with the spirit-based system of the new world. It required a delicate process of conversion, but once mastered, it opened the door for the star vessel members to contribute their energy to the others who weren't part of the path system.

The exchange of energy was a reciprocal process. The inhabitants of the area shared their knowledge with the star vessel members, allowing them to access the path system and the benefits it offered. In return, Rain and his allies provided valuable insights and techniques that further enhanced the abilities of the locals.

This collaboration not only strengthened individual fighters but also fostered a sense of unity and understanding between the two groups. The initial hesitations and suspicions gave way to mutual respect as they worked together to confront the challenges ahead.

As the temporary allies began to experience the benefits of the path system, their progression was remarkable. The evolution was not just in terms of raw power but also in strategy and coordination. The exchange of knowledge became a two-way street, with both sides learning from each other's experiences and adapting their approaches accordingly.

Still, the vast majority of the members of the star vessel were still missing alongside Esmeralda and her family…
