Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1267 - 1267: Insectoid Gluttonous Path

Rain created a revival ring and carefully equipped one of the cores into it. This was a delicate operation, as the energy within the core was needed to be harnessed for a specific purpose. With the preparations in place, Rain initiated the process, channeling the energy from the core to recreate the body of the insect queen using the remains inside the core.

The revival ring glowed with an otherworldly light as the energy flowed through it, and before long, the once lifeless form of the insect queen began to take shape. Very slowly, her left claw began to be recreated…

"Wow, you really are doing something pretty nasty and yet very impressive," Elisabetha said. "Is that how you came back?"

"Yes, although it took many decades," Rain said. "Still, this monster is a lot stronger than I was back then, and I don't need to restore all of its body, so it is fine. This shouldn't take long."

Once the first flew flesh parts were created, the claw began to move, and it seemed that the insect queen was aware of what was going on even though she was still sealed. According to Elisabetha, she was panicking quite a bit. In any case, Rain began to pour his mana on the claw, and soon he got his results.

Insectoid Gluttonous Path: The Insectoid Gluttonous Path is a unique path that taps into the essence of gluttony and utilizes insectoid abilities, along with skills related to sound, to consume and control opponents. Followers of this path become adept at sound manipulation and gluttony, overwhelming their enemies with sound assaults and draining their essence for sustenance.

Intelligence and Wisdom +50 per level.

Level 1: Sonic Resonance - Gains the ability to manipulate sound waves to disorient and distract enemies, affecting their focus and coordination. Decrease their dexterity by one hundred points per level at the cost of one hundred mana points per second.

Level 5: Gluttonous Aura - Emits an aura that instills a sense of gluttony in nearby enemies, increasing their vulnerability to sound-based attacks and draining their energy. Drains ten points of mana from the enemy per level and per second at the cost of two hundred mana points per second.

Rain nodded to himself in satisfaction… he never thought that things would be so simple. Maybe it was because, until now, he always tried not to go with the flow and do things that benefitted the overseer, but even in his fortified domain, he couldn't escape his gaze.

"I know that you are watching. Why don't you show up already?" Rain asked.

Naturally, Rain didn't receive an answer… he wasn't expecting to, but it didn't hurt to try. In the end, Rain shook those thoughts out of his head since Elisabetha could read his mind while they were together, so it was better to avoid problems.

In any case, once the path was ready, Rain destroyed the remains of the monster after he took out the core from the ring, and the surprises didn't end there… it wasn't the best way to get experience, but it was one-way.

The skill Sonic Resonance leveled up.

The Glutonous Aura leveled up.

The skill Sonic Resonance leveled up.

…

In the end, Rain undid his domain and then went to talk with his friends and teach them the skills necessary to unlock the path. Once again, the first two were necessary since one was related to the sound magic that the insect queen used, and the other was about gluttony.

"With this, we can surround some enemies and drain their mana pretty fast," Seara said. "The downside is… keeping this path equipped is making me hungry."

In the realm of Rain's Seven Deadly Sins Paths and their related abilities, each path came with its unique set of merits and demerits. The users of these paths would not only gain immense power through the utilization of these abilities but would also be subject to the influence and drawbacks associated with the sins themselves.

The more they delved into their chosen paths, the stronger the connection to the respective sin, both in terms of power and the manifestation of its negative aspects.

For the Slothful Undead Path, the influence of the sloth was evident. Users would experience lethargy, both physically and mentally, as they harnessed the power of bone manipulation and sloth-related skills. The more they wielded these abilities, the more they'd be drained of energy, mirroring the nature of sloth.

Similarly, the Insectoid Gluttonous Path brought the essence of gluttony. Users, while gaining proficiency in sound manipulation and gluttonous abilities, would be confronted with an insatiable hunger. This hunger wasn't just a metaphorical yearning for power but a physical need for sustenance.

In a place devoid of the means to grow food, this gluttony became a significant challenge for Rain and his allies.

"Once we are done learning this, we should move to attack the next targets…" Sealyn declared. "It seems that our speed is making the enemies unaware of our actions so far, so we can continue capitalizing on this."

"I am not sure if that is completely true," Seadrei said. "So far, none of them attacked us, but it isn't exactly a fact that we caught them off guard; the battle against the death knights had been pretty difficult since the enemies waited for us where they would have the upper hand."

"I guess that makes sense… if the closest enemies will have the upperhand attacking us, they will attack. If not, they will wait," Sealyn said. "Even more so considering that we accomplished what they didn't. Regardless, we will attack as soon as the leaders of the squads are done learning the paths, when that happens, only those who have unlocked the paths will come and fight with us.

Depending on their numbers, we will change our strategy about attacking one or two targets at the same time."

Sealyn's cautious approach came from the concern for the well-being of her comrades. As the leader of their group, she understood the importance of each member.
