Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1288 - 1288: One man vs Army

Everyone knew that the enemies grouping together to attack them would happen sooner or later once they were attacked by the Yellow Mist clan. As such, Rain decided to focus on strengthening their group instead of exposing their backs again. Moreover, that battle will be the true test that they need, and Rain also wants to try something…

The mechanical knights slowly moved toward the wall that Rain had to defend alone… their appearance was quite weird. It made Rain recall a certain giant statue that received the power of the gods in a game he played a long time ago.

"Maybe I can develop a skill with quick time events that will help me defeat stronger enemies," Rain thought while smiling. "That would be fun."

The mechanical knights, wearing majestic silver and gold armor, presented a formidable and imposing army. Each knight stood at an impressive height of ten meters, their metallic bodies glowing in the desolate ambient light. The intricately crafted armor bore detailed patterns, combining the regality of gold with the strength of silver, creating a visually striking contrast.

Tower shields were held firmly in one hand, and spears gripped in the other. The knights were ready for battle. The weapons themselves were not ordinary; adorned with glowing blue runes, they hinted at a magical power within. The ethereal glow emanating from the runes added an otherworldly aura to their weapons, suggesting a combination of technology and enchantment.

As Rain observed, he couldn't help but notice the captivating play of blue light within the interior of the armor. The mechanical knights seemed to be powered by some form of magical energy, manifesting itself in the radiant blue glow that pulsed from within. This internal illumination created an eerie yet captivating effect, making the knights appear almost ethereal as they marched forward.

The eyes of the mechanical knights were another impressive feature. Emitting a strong and steady glow in the same radiant blue tone, their eyes pierced through the surroundings with an intense and focused gaze. Despite their imposing appearance, there was a mysterious quality to them, not inherently evil, but Rain sensed a corrupt energy that added an element of danger to their presence.

"I need to learn as soon as possible which sin they are connected to…" Rain thought and then grabbed the ominous sword with a single hand.

Using a sword with a single hand when he wasn't that skilled with it seemed pretty risky, but Rain had a reason for that. With that in mind, he charged toward the monsters.

They encountered each other exactly one kilometer away from the walls, and the enemies quickly threw the tips of their spears at Rain. He used Impulse to the side and avoided them, but the impact sent shockwaves in the air that made his body shake… massive craters appeared on the ground at the place they had hit, but soon enough, the tips of the weapons returned to their original locations.

"It is the same thing Sakaki can do…" Elisabetha said.

Indeed… that kind of ability was pretty rare. Moreover, with that much power, the mechanical knights could be a menace at long range as well… a single hit and Rain would obtain a hole in his body… he didn't even want to think that would happen if he got hit in the head.

While thinking about what kind of sin would have granted them that ability, Rain used Doppelganger's Call. His body was covered in darkness, and then copies of himself began to spread around. The mechanical knights didn't respect the basic rule of combat that, says that they needed to wait while their opponents use big moves before attacking them.

Their spears were trusted forward to destroy the doppelgangers, but Rain jumped backward and then made his three copies move to the sides… that had been too obvious; soon, he saw several tips of the spears flying at him.

Before Rain could land, he blocked the attacks with his sword and was pushed backward for dozens of meters with each hit. While he had gotten considerably stronger, he felt his core trembling with each hit. However, he recovered soon enough.

No wonder Rain felt a bit overwhelmed a few days ago, and then he had the fever. A few weeks ago, his mana was below one million points, and now it has reached that point where he had over one million and a half points… he basically could use all the spells of large scale dozens of times.

Even the doppelgangers, he could use a bunch of them for quite a while; he just needed some time to get used to them. That being said, he didn't have time to marvel at his own strength… it also would be wiser to hold back a bit.

The mechanical knights soon finished building a single line with their ranks… they had one hundred of them, and their leader didn't seem to be around. Some of them kept a closer look at the doppelgangers that were approaching, but the others focused on Rain and kept bombarding him with the tip of their spears…

While avoiding them all, Rain kept looking at the weapons and began to memorize their speed and tempo… it didn't take long for Rain to turn his sword and then swing it down at the tip of the spear instead of blocking it…
