Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 1322 - 1322: Final destination

The enemy sensed that Rain was about to use that attack again and soon opened its mouth to decimate him with another light cannon… the energy began to gather in its mouth and soon exploded toward him… he didn't even have the time to gulp.

Rain was engulfed by the attack once more and disappeared for several seconds… but then eventually, the beast was forced to close its mouth as another smaller version of the Rain technique hit the monster and forced the beast to close its mouth.

The monster began to fall on the ground while blood was leaving its eyes, nose, and ears… but at the same time, Rain appeared standing only to fall backward like a masterless puppet.

Rain's body was sprawled on the scorched ground. The devastation brought by the successive light cannon attack was evident in the mutilation of his hands and forearms. They were now reduced to a grotesque and mangled state. The skin, tissues, and bones had endured the brunt of the attack, leaving a gruesome tableau of destruction to the point that a good part of it had been burned to dust.

Elisabetha's wrathful aura was used in a desperate attempt to shield what remained of Rain's body. The barrier managed to preserve some of his body, preventing the attack from causing further external harm.

However, the internal injuries ran deep, with the impact resonating through Rain's body like a violent storm… since the attack could nullify mana, it basically could ignore his defensive parameters as well…

Conscious but incapacitated, Rain fought against the encroaching darkness, a testament to the his will that had carried him through countless battles. Slowly, Rain began to cast heal as he tried to get up. Even his recently obtained regeneration skills helped him recover a bit faster…

Before long, Rain was able to see the enemy on the ground as well… the concentrated version of his technique was truly useful and powerful, but mixing his stamina in a spell and controlling mana from that distance with so much accuracy made him feel like his head was splitting and his body was almost sinking to the ground thanks to the exhaustion.

"Fuck it… as expected of a secret technique, it harms me as well," Rain thought. "Still, this motherfucker still is alive…"

Rain approached the monster as fast as he could before the master of the prison could send more enemies to stop him. Still, they should know by now that half-assed strategies were useless against Rain. In any case, it was a pity that Rain wouldn't be able to get so many cores from the lords, but at least he could get the core of that giant beast.

Without hesitation, Rain opened a hole in the monster's head using Telekinesis and the ominous sword, and then he put his hand on the wound when the blood began to gush like a fountain. Slowly but surely, he began to concentrate all of the essence into a single core.

The Diligence path leveled up.

The Diligence path leveled up.

The Diligence path leveled up.

…

All those level-ups made Rain recover a fair bit of health, so he immediately felt better. In any case, when Rain pulled his arm and he saw the core, he was surprised to see that it was different from the others…

Upon closer inspection, Rain noticed that the core differed significantly from the usual monochromatic cores. It displayed a tricolor spiral, intertwining shades of red, white, and purple. This unusual characteristic hinted at the composite nature of the monster, potentially originating from the fusion of three distinct creatures.

Moreover, as Rain touched the core, dark and light sparks of lightning emanated from it, forming an intricate dance of energy around the surface. When Rain kept making contact with the core, he experienced a jolt of pain as the sparks bit into his skin, indicating the potent and complex energies contained within. This unforeseen reaction added another layer of mystery to the already enigmatic core.

"It is powerful… but I will need this to get rid of the master of the prison," Rain thought.

"How are you going to do that in your current state?" Elisabetha asked.

"With the power of friendship, everything is possible," Rain said.

Despite joking around, Rain could tell that he was in a really bad spot… he leveled up a lot on the diligence path, and that made him stronger, but there wasn't much point to it when he was so far away from being his peak performance…

"The three doppelgangers are still fighting, and they are recovering my mana," Rain thought. "I need to keep going while I heal myself… the enemy shouldn't be completely ready for an attack now either… so this is my only chance."

Rain forced himself to keep using Impulse in order to approach the enemy and before long, he finally arrived near that massive crater… where Arel's base was located him.

From the very beginning, Rain never trusted her; that was why he tried to keep doing things inside his domain, and he also increased its power to make sure that he wouldn't see him or that, at the very least, he would notice when she tried to see inside his domain…
