Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix
Chapter 267 - 267: Here we go again

In the midst of this fiery chaos, fragments of scorched earth were catapulted into the air, propelled by the explosive energy of the dragon's attack. These burning fragments arced through the sky before plummeting back to the ground, leaving smoldering embers in their wake.

However, as the ground continued to smolder and smolder, the fire dragon's assault abruptly ceased. Its attention had been captured by a new threat—Rain. Emerging from concealment, Rain sprinted toward the dragon's territory, desperate to escape. The dragon, momentarily redirecting its fury, fixated on the audacious human as he fled.

The fire dragon began to chase him and so tried the earth dragon. Still, then numerous fire tornadoes enveloped the creature and forced the monster to stop and focus on them instead.

"It seemed that they took the hint," Rain thought while looking over his shoulder.

Rain ran away for a couple of kilometers in order to have the chance to fight without being bothered. When he used Impulse, even the fire dragon had a hard time keeping up with him.

Still, eventually, Rain turned around when he finished adding the ice blades to his fists. When he did that, he turned around and then attacked the enemy.

Rain punched the face of the creature, and its whole body came to a half. The ice blade pierced the scales and the flesh of the monster, making blood gush from the wound, but it also broke after a single use… and Rain had used five hundred points of mana to create that.

"Ugh," Rain grunted in pain.

The sudden impact of Rain's punch had a profound effect on both the dragon and Rain. The colossal creature, momentarily thrown off balance by the force of Rain's attack, experienced a dizzying moment.

At the same time, Rain felt the consequences of the impact keenly. He bore an overwhelming weight on his shoulders. It was as though the sheer power of the dragon's assault had materialized as a physical burden, pressing down upon him.

Despite employing the potent Limit Breaker technique to enhance his strength, Rain sensed his arm trembling with each step. The single hit had placed an immense load on him, causing his entire arm to quake under the crushing force.

The intensity of the situation, with the dragon thrown off balance and Rain grappling with the formidable weight on his shoulders, heightened the palpable tension in the face of the dragon's continuing wrath.

"I can't stop the monster like that. While good hits on their chin make their brain spin, it has no meaning if I hurt myself in the process," Rain thought.

Once Rain healed his shoulder, the monster also recovered from the attack to some extent. Its face was still bleeding a lot, even though the area around it was frozen. Since Rain put a lot of mana in it, the enemy looked in pain, thanks to the ice on its face.

With relentless determination, the dragon pursued Rain, its scorching Fire Breath unceasingly searing the ground behind him. Rain zigzagged desperately, using Impulse intermittently to propel himself out of harm's way. However, it became increasingly clear that the monstrous creature had no intention of relenting.

What was most astonishing was the dragon's seemingly boundless well of mana. It continued to spew forth flames with unbridled fury as though its magical reservoir knew no end. The ceaseless stream of fire followed Rain relentlessly, leaving little room for escape.

As Rain darted through the area, he couldn't help but notice that the landscape bore the telltale signs of a cataclysmic battle. The ground lay scorched and strewn with debris, resembling the aftermath of a titanic clash. It seemed as though the very earth had endured the fury of elemental forces in an epic struggle.

"I think that the guys on the camp can deal with one earth dragon, so I don't have to rush… but it will be bad if they let that one escape and join here," Rain thought.

Rain already confirmed that the dragon he was facing was stronger than the one he killed, so taking his time to finish it off might be dangerous… in the end, he had to hurry up before other dragons noticed the commotion.

After stopping running, Rain turned to face the creature, and the dragon showed a bit of surprise while it was using Fire breath. Still, the surprise gave room to shock when the monster was fifty meters away, and then Rain just stepped ahead. In the next moment, the dragon was forced to close its mouth when an earth pillar emerged from the ground and hit its chin.

As the earth pillar forcefully sealed the dragon's colossal jaws shut, a sudden and violent explosion rocked the interior of the creature's mouth. It was a ferocious burst of fiery energy, a tumultuous spectacle that exposed the dragon's susceptibility from within.

At that moment, the dragon's eyes contorted in agony, its countenance twisted in pain. It became unmistakably clear that the creature's inner anatomy lacked the resilience of its formidable exterior. The searing heat and pressure generated within its own mouth had triggered a volatile reaction, causing the dragon to recoil in sheer torment.

As the monstrous creature regained its composure, it found itself in a state of bewilderment. Rain had seemingly vanished into thin air, leaving the dragon to glance around in search of its elusive prey.

But just as the dragon's uncertainty mounted, a sudden impact struck the top of its head. Rain descended from the sky like a falling star, crashing into the beast with astonishing force. The collision sent shockwaves rippling through the dragon's colossal frame, causing it to stagger and ultimately crash to the ground.

Rain's abrupt and unexpected return, hurtling from the heavens to deliver a devastating blow, was a shocking twist in the unfolding confrontation. It left the once-dominant dragon momentarily incapacitated.

The descent of the monstrous creature was nothing short of cataclysmic. As it crashed to the ground, the very earth beneath it trembled and cracked, sending shockwaves rippling through the terrain.
