Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1321 - 1321: Rain technique

Rain was completely confused… he couldn't understand what had happened, but his domain, his lightning magic, and even the corrupt energy of wrath enveloping his body had dissipated during the attack… he tried to get up, trying to find an answer to all that, but his body flinched thanks to the pain.

"Heal yourself immediately. You have damaged your muscles in that attack!" Elisabetha said.

Rain didn't have time to question that, so he just followed the orders. If he still had mana to heal himself, there was no explanation as to why his techniques were canceled…

In any case, Rain felt some relief, but soon he felt danger again, and then he saw the monster firing countless darts of light at him. Using Telekinesis, Rain blocked the attack by using the ominous sword as a shield, and that made him understand what was going on… every time the sword was attacked, he felt his control over it decreasing, and then his mana was drained more and more.

"... The light magic can dissipate magic?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows as he got up.

The sudden encounter with the colossal entity's light magic had caught Rain off guard, and the realization dawned upon him as he processed the unfolding events. His lack of experience in facing an enemy using light magic became glaringly obvious.

The unique nature of this magical element, with its capability to dissipate other forms of magic, explained why all of Rain's techniques had been abruptly canceled during the initial attack.

Having never faced an adversary with such a distinctive and powerful ability, Rain found himself in uncharted territory. The inherent properties of light magic, particularly its capacity to unravel and disperse magical energies, posed a significant challenge to Rain's usual tactics.

The fact that his domain, lightning magic, and the corrupt energy of wrath had dissipated put him in a difficult spot… but he couldn't let that stop him.

"What now?" Elisabetha asked.

"What now, indeed…" Rain muttered. "My options are rather limited..."

Rain couldn't come up with a solution that easily… the enemy kept attacking him with darts of light only to make him waste time and energy since its goal was to get rid of the source of problems in the zone. He was the most troublesome one, and in order to break his spirit, getting rid of his friends was its top priority, but countless other monsters were focused on that already.

"If I can't kill this motherfucker, I have no chances agaisnt the master of the prison… ignoring this thing won't do me any good either," Rain thought. "No point in being surrounded by two sides in this situation.

Fuck it, I don't have any other choice… even if I keep postponing using this, the enemies will eventually find a way to counter it… might as keep thinking of new techniques for the future instead."

Rain changed his path and equipped the diligence path… in the next moment, he put his hands together and then began to focus. In the next moment, the atmosphere changed, and the monster suddenly stopped attacking and raised its guard… it seemed that the beast had some level of intelligence, but that didn't matter at all.

In the next moment, raindrops began to fall on the area and pushed the beast down to the ground. At the same time, all the bacteria in the air fell as well and turned the ground red after being completely smashed.

The skill Skill Synergy received 10 experience points.

The skill Skill Affinity received 10 experience points.

The skill Skill Refinment received 10 experience points.

…

Rain was surprised to see the air suddenly turning very clean in the area… he didn't expect that his secret technique would actually kill even the bacteria in the air. Still, the monster had several marks on the impact on its body, so that showed the power of his secret technique…

However, that came with a cost… Rain only made a single line of raindrops fall on the area, but he felt a terrible headache and his body getting insanely heavy… that was a spell that combined his mana and stamina, so it came with no surprise.

"What the hell was that?" Elisabetha asked. "When did you develop this technique?"

"In my head, now and then… when you weren't reading my thoughts for being too busy talking," Rain explained.

That was supposed to be impossible… but Rain pulled off on the first try, and the results were like that.

The monster soon began to raise, but Rain couldn't immediately focus to use the technique again… using enough mana to summon enough rain droplets to take over the entire area during its fall and infusing them with stamina to give them the same amount of power of his punches was quite energy consuming…

"... I guess we can call this technique Rain," Elisabetha said.

"I am not vain enough to give my own name to such a technique," Rain said.

Still, the name fits what the technique could do… Regardless, the giant monster soon looked at Rain again, and he had another idea… he put his hands together to focus, and then a much smaller version of the technique was cast right above the head of the monster.

As the miniature Rain technique descended upon the head of the colossal monster, a peculiar number of sounds echoed through the area. Countless water droplets, each imbued with the power of Rain's punches, bombarded the creature's skull. The impact of each droplet resonated with a strange and almost melodic yet chaotic noise, creating an otherworldly composition that echoed on the battlefield.

The skin covering the monster's head underwent a rapid transformation, transitioning from its original color to a deep shade of purple. The onslaught of Rain-infused water droplets seemed to penetrate the surface, causing visible damage to the creature's skull. Cracks formed on its once-imposing exterior, indicating the effectiveness of Rain's unorthodox yet potent technique.

"All right, one more time…" Rain thought.
