Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1262 - 1262: Endless Rage

Rain, in his current state, moved with astonishing speed, resembling a dark lightning bolt from the perspective of his squad. His movements were a blur as he darted around the giant death knights, hitting them from all directions. The relentless barrage of attacks left the skeletal giants disoriented and unable to recover from the initial onslaught.

The impact of Rain's strikes caused pieces of their bone structures to crumble and fall apart rapidly. Dark energy trailed behind him as he weaved through the enemies, leaving destruction in his wake. The giant death knights, once imposing and formidable, now struggled to contend with Rain's relentless assault.

The battlefield echoed with the sounds of breaking bones and crumbling skeletal remains as Rain executed his lightning-fast maneuvers, turning the tide in their favor.

Everyone wondered how come Rain got so strong, but the answer was simple and they soon realized that… he made the wrath path level up as much as possible at the cost of all the sins paths. Thanks to that, he looked like a living shadow… he looked like a monster.

Upon realizing that Rain wouldn't let them recover, the skeletons decided to make their final move… one of them used the other as a base to get up, but that left the other completely open to an attack… Rain used that chance to pass through the skull of the creature, and in the next moment, the beast stopped moving and began to fall apart.

The skill Limit Breaker leveled up.

The skill Magic Boost leveled up.

The Wrath's path leveled up.

…

The shadow covering Rain's body began to tremble violently, and it only stopped when the remaining giant skeleton hit him with its sword… but this time, Rain stopped the attack with a single hand… and he didn't even flinch. As if that wasn't enough, Rain's grip began to crack the sword… the monster tried to pull it out, but Rain didn't let it go.

"Hihihihi," Rain laughed.

When the beast tried a bit more, Rain let go of the Sword; the monster lost its balance and almost fell while taking several steps backward… when the monster finally stopped moving, it saw Rain right above, and it fell crashing down insanely fast. The monster used the sword to block the attacks, but the sword broke, followed by the skull and the rib cage of the monster.

The skill Limit Breaker leveled up.

The skill Magic Boost leveled up.

The Wrath's path leveled up.

…

As the monstrous giant skeleton crumbled beneath him, Rain couldn't help but burst into laughter. The satisfaction of letting his anger overflow, allowing the power of Wrath to surge through his entire being, was an intoxicating sensation. The chaotic symphony of crumbling bones and the fading echoes of his laughter filled the air.

Amidst the remains of the defeated foe, Rain reveled in the newfound strength that emanated from the relentless pursuit of power. The upgrades in his skills, the heightened mastery of the Wrath's path, and the overwhelming surge of magical energy were tangible evidence of his ascent.

The power that coursed through him made him feel invigorated like never before as if he had tapped into an uncharted reservoir of strength.

With a triumphant grin, Rain prepared for the next challenge, his eyes gleaming with the exhilaration of battle. The battlefield awaited, and Rain, now a living shadow of Wrath, was ready to face whatever came his way.

"I need more of that…" Rain thought and then looked around for targets.

Leveling up the wrath Path was exhilarating… soon he found some easy targets that would make him level up quite fast. The members of his squad… Rain knew that he shouldn't attack, much less kill them, but that seemed like such a small detail at the moment…

"... What am I thinking?" Rain thought. "Kill them all… they are dead weight… kill them all and become stronger… destroy everything…"

Rain felt like his head was splitting… like one side was fighting the other and trying to rip it apart. It took everything from Rain to force himself to charge toward the other areas of the battlefield… Soon enough, he found Seadrei being stepped down by one of the giant death knights while his squad was busy with another beast.

Then, all of a sudden… the monsters suddenly stopped moving. Seadrei used that chance to get up and then grab the monster's sword and smash the creature with it… at the same time, Rain targeted the other monster. The giant death knights didn't even try to defend themselves. Rain's plan finally worked…

Rain left Elisabetha behind and equipped with the power of the insect queen. He made her touch the network of bones underground, and then she began to absorb all the mana using the core of the insect queen as medium… When she had enough mana, she burned the network of bones to stop the beasts from moving or at least decrease their mana supply.

Rain didn't want to confirm Seadrei's situation, nor did he care about that… he just wanted to destroy more things. In the end, he saw Jori and Reca attacking the monsters that chased them with their best attacks. Rain only had the chance to kill one more giant death knight… but the battle wasn't over.

When the final monster was defeated, half of the creature was dismembered and turned into countless skeletons that began to run in all directions.

As the last giant death knight fell, its dismembered parts transformed into countless skeletons that scattered in all directions. Rain, now consumed by the overwhelming power of Wrath, didn't hesitate for a moment. He chased after the horde of skeletons, leaving destruction in his wake. His charge alone was enough to obliterate the skeletal minions that dared cross his path.

Rain's mind was fixated on the chaos and destruction he could sow.

Despite his initial intention of capturing the undead king to acquire knowledge, Rain's actions now seemed solely driven by the desire to cause havoc.
