Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1304 - 1304: Prideful Lizard Path

Everyone rolled their eyes at Rain… it seemed that he was the only one who wasn't taking the situation seriously. Still, soon they saw his serious face and understood that he had some plans of his own.

"If you keep bothering us, we will destroy you right now," Esmeralda declared. "Your recent actions of your entire group turned us into enemies. For the sake of the friendship that we once had, we will ignore you until we find the exit of this place, but that will change if you keep up with your nonsense."

"... All right, have your way," Rain said and then canceled the skill. "You guys heard them. They entered a stage in their life where they were having a middle-age crisis, so they decided to become edgy. They are probably listening to some punk rock bands of the early 2000s as well. Dark clothes must be a must to them as well."

"... Putting that aside, can you try to contact the previous zone, Dad?" Sealyn asked.

"All right," Rain said. "Let's see… I guess I will contact Seadir. Hello, hello. Testing, one, two, three…"

"Rain… is… that… you?" Seadir said in extremely slow motion. "I… can… barely… understand… your… words… speak… slowly…"

"I should have known that… wow… my mana is dropping insanely fast," Rain thought. "It must be cause you all are on the call."

Rain disconnected everyone from the call, but that only improved things a bit. He had to pass the messages very slowly, but the mana was being consumed too fast, so he had to end the call and then recover his mana before trying again.

"We will have to send simple messages," Rain said. "I guess the first should be to send the Trent people… they will have a hard time here, but we will be able to produce food."

"After doing some math, I estimate that you will have ten seconds to pass the messages, and you will need eight hours to recover your total mana pool."

"At least the skill will keep leveling up," Rain shrugged. "That will make things more efficient after a while."

"The second message is that we found Esmeralda and the others… although we shouldn't disclose the details about this encounter," Sealyn said.

"I guess so…" Rain said and then began to rub his chin thoughtfully. "Anyway, back to the grind. I am going to work with Sakaki on analyzing the cores that we have. Which one do you guys want? Orc general, robot master, giant lizard, lord of the zombies, and the mechanical knights are the options."

"The giant lizards could regenerate pretty fast. That might help us a lot since… no, it is nothing," Terra said.

Terra hesitated for a moment before completing her sentence, realizing the unspoken implications. She trailed off, avoiding the suggestion that they might need more power in case they had to face Esmeralda and the others. The unspoken tension lingered in the air as the possibility of conflict with their long-lost allies weighed on everyone's minds.

Rain, however, chose not to delve deeper into the unspoken thoughts, shifting the focus back to the practical matters at hand.

Prideful Lizard Path: The Prideful Lizard Path is a majestic and formidable path that harnesses the essence of pride, vitality, and flames. Followers of this path gain skills that enhance their pride, promote rapid healing, and unleash devastating fire-based attacks. Strength and Intelligence + 50 points per level.

Level 1: Prowess of Pride - Embraces the essence of pride, boosting the user's confidence and strength. Increases Strength and Vitality by ten points per level.

Level 5: Fiery Resilience - Develops a natural resistance to fire-based attacks and enhances the user's regenerative abilities. Grants you Health Regeneration of ten points per level and decreases the power of fire-related attacks by ten points per level.

Level 10: Inferno Claws - Enchants the user's hands with fire energy, allowing melee attacks to inflict burn damage over time of ten points per level and per ten seconds. Cost: 50 mana per attack.

"Hmm… not bad, not bad at all," Rain thought.

For someone like Rain, who had that much health, ten points of health regeneration wasn't that much, but at level one hundred, it would recover one thousand points per minute, and that would make him save some mana. At first, that didn't seem impressive, but those little details build up over time to increase his powers and ability to endure the attacks of the enemies.

Thanks to that, he couldn't help but feel pretty satisfied.

During the time he was analyzing the lord of the giant lizards, Rain also sent messages to Seadir. While the other side didn't have time to say anything, they should have understood the message. Rain could only confirm that in two days when the next group arrives.

As expected and planned, the next group to arrive had been one of Jori and Reca's kids, so they only had to wait a day more to confirm everything, and they spent that day unlocking the Prideful Lizard path. After that, they had to choose between the orc general core and the lord of the zombies core… they were a tough call since both of them had the power of lust, as weird as that sounded.

In any case, before the group had to decide between either cores, another day passed… and then Isa showed up alongside four members of the trent people. Although the group tried to control themselves, they couldn't help but salivate while wondering the kind of food they would be able to eat now… However, soon they had an unpleasant surprise…
