Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

While Rain couldn't imagine how, but it was possible. Only those who can't see themselves winning would run away from a battle.

In the end, Rain spent one week searching in the area for any signs of the enemy's base, but he found nothing. When he was about to fly further south, to the point that he would have to fly across the world if he had to… he suddenly felt his mana and stamina being drained…

"... They used the Seal… did the dungeons already broke?" Rain thought and then clicked his tongue. "Shit…"

Rain quickly turned around and then began to fly toward home. Finding the enemies was important, but keeping his family safe was by far his top priority.

Although Rain was ten thousand kilometers away from home, he was able to return after just six hours.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As Rain made his way back to his headquarters, he was met with a worrying sight. The place that had once been bustling with activity was now eerily empty. Alarmed by this sudden change, he wasted no time and hurried towards the dungeon, where he hoped to find answers.

What he encountered at the dungeon entrance sent shivers down his spine. Before him, his wives and warriors were engaged in a frantic battle against an overwhelming horde of skeletons. These undead creatures were pouring out of the dungeon in staggering numbers, with thousands of them steadily advancing and more continuing to emerge from the depths of the dungeon.

The skeleton knights weren't moving that much or attacking, and they just kept pushing the warriors away after being punched several times… their frozen shields made them eventually flinch, thanks to the frostbites.

Behind them, the skeleton archers and wizards made ice arrows rain down like literal rain… one couldn't even begin to try to count them.

"I didn't expect things to end like this… so intense," Rain thought, and then he began to fall.

Everyone was still fine… the warriors could use healing magic, and Seara was helping them as well since her water magic was essentially useless against ice monsters. Danny and Annie were also making their papa proud by helping with Healing.

"I shouldn't use too much magic… otherwise, it will only feed the dungeon further," Rain thought.

When Rain landed in front of his warriors, they were left stunned for a moment, but soon, they felt a surge of energy crossing through their bodies. For a moment, they forgot about the pain and exhaustion that they were feeling, and that feeling only grew more powerful when Rain stepped in and then punched a line of frozen skeleton knights.

Rain unleashed the power of his Limit Breaker, channeling an incredible surge of strength into his punch. The result was nothing short of astounding. As his fist connected with the horde, the impact sent shockwaves through the ranks of the undead.

Dozens of skeletons were sent hurtling into one another, their fragile bones shattering on impact. The force of Rain's blow was so tremendous that it caused a chain reaction, causing the skeletons to collapse and crumble into pieces, like a domino effect of destruction.

This single punch demonstrated the extraordinary level of Rain's physical prowess, fueled by the might of his Limit Breaker… and he wasn't done yet. Rain didn't even have to gain momentum to attack those beasts. A few simple steps did the trick.

"You guys, what the heck is this?" Rain shouted. "Why are you having a hard time agaisnt such bitchies? I don't remember training you guys to become weaklings. Show me your fighting spirit, or I will kick your asses one at a time later!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Inspired by Rain's words, the warriors gathered their strength and resolve. With a newfound determination, they launched a coordinated counterattack against the relentless horde that had been attacking them nonstop for several hours.

The warriors pushed forward with all their might, using their shields to deliver powerful shield bashes and their bodies to execute bone-crushing body slams. Their combined efforts created a formidable wave of force that surged through the ranks of the skeletons, relentlessly smashing them one after the other.

The counterattack was a powerful and clear sign to their unity and determination. With each bone-crushing blow and shield bash, the invaders were sent tumbling and crumbling, unable to withstand the sheer force and determination of Rain and his warriors.

Although Rain changed the flow of the battle, he still kept fighting… for one, the skeleton archers and wizards were still attacking freely, and for another, Rain felt a need to get stronger like never before.

When he was born in that world and saw the power of the dragons, he made a vow to try to become as strong as possible and not to cower in fear in front of those creatures, but now he couldn't help but feel like he had to get stronger to at least buy a few seconds for his family to run away in case that hooded figure tried to target them… it hurt his pride quite a bit, but he couldn't see himself defeating that.

Thanks to that, Rain kept punching the monsters without a care… even when the skeleton archers put arrows on his forehead and pierced his skin to make it bleed and freeze the blood immedtiately… he just kept punching… he needed to relieve all that stress and dark thoughts inside of him.

"It is time to really do my best to fulfill the vow that I made to my kids," Rain thought. "I can' stop now… my goal was to become stronger than Seadrei because having a goal is always nice, but something like that isn't enough… I am going to train harder and become as strong as possible… for our survival."

After making up his mind, Rain clenched his fists and teeth with all his might and delivepered a rotating punch that blew away hundreds of skeletons…
