Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 687 The need

"All right… their skills are progressing enough," Rain thought. "If I send the other squads to the other dungeons one at a time as well, then…"

Just when Rain was thinking about that… he suddenly felt another tremor. This one was more intense, and it felt closer as well… It lasted around five minutes, but it returned with the same intensity after one hour.

"... What is this?" Terra asked.

"I guess I don't have any other choice…" Rain thought while squinting his eyes.

Rain's eyes widened as he surveyed the entire kingdom using his rain spell. The revelation left him stunned and deeply concerned. Approximately two hundred dragons had arrived on the southern coast, employing their magic to wreak havoc.

Their coordinated efforts were aimed at demolishing the coastline and pushing the ocean further into the human kingdom. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Rain as he grasped the magnitude of the impending threat and the urgency of the response required to safeguard their land.

"I can sense one hundred Kraken dragons and one hundred more… giant beasts trashing around and making the land crack," Rain said after taking a deep breath. "They must be the leviathan dragons…"

"... They never attacked that side that much," Seara said while considering their options. "We have to ask for help from the other branches of the raging Phoenix and perhaps even from Dad."

Rain wished that he didn't have to ask Seadrei for help since that could escalate things further in the conflict, but he didn't have the luxury to think about that. Those creatures wanted to expand their territory upon the human lands, after all… all in order to prepare for a future and total invasion.

"All right… I am going ahead, and you guys will organize our troops to come later," Rain said, and then he saw another report arriving. It was from Jori and Reca. "Shit… you have got to be kidding me."

"... What does it say?" Terra asked.

"... The sea dragons are back again, and it seems that the sea folks are having a hard time against them because they have the help of the siren dragons."

The situation was getting dangerous… four types of dragons were attacking them and from two sides. They didn't want humans and the sea folk to help each other… Rain didn't have much time to think about that.

"We can't afford to use all of our forces, only send twenty percent of them further south to fight the dragons," Rain said. "The sound and magic squads will have to come too, and they will gain a lot of experience from this… even though it is risky."

""Understood," Terra nodded.

"Tell Jori and Reca to protect the port town and help the sea folk as they can," Rain added. "We also need to tell Dad, Asche, and Liss to be careful on the borders."

"Leave it to me," Seara said.

After that, Rain left in a hurry toward the southern side of the country. After half an hour, he was able to find the Kraken dragons firing their blasts of water on the ground and destroying it, giving more room to the ocean. It was insane that they could do that much… the annoying part was the fact that they were several kilometers away from each other and were trying to reach the capital.

Another annoying part was that they were accompanied by leviathan dragons.

The leviathan dragons are massive creatures, stretching an impressive three hundred meters in length. Their immense bodies were covered in rough scales that glinted with a dark luster. These scales varied in color, ranging from deep blues and purple to black, creating a mesmerizing and majestic appearance.

The dragons' long, thick necks extended massively from their massive torsos, crowned with regal heads featuring sharp, gleaming horns. Each beat of their colossal arms stirred the air with power, and their eyes, filled with ancient wisdom and a hint of ferocity, surveyed the world around them.

"What a massive creature… it doesn't make any sense to be that big and still be able to move on the land," Rain thought.

The leviathan dragons, with colossal tails that seemed to defy the laws of gravity, struck the ground with unparalleled force. Each impact echoed with a deafening roar, sending shockwaves that resonated through the earth. The sheer power behind these strikes surpassed the ordinary, resembling meteoric collisions.

As their tails descended, the dragons created massive and deep craters in the terrain, reshaping the landscape with every punishing blow. The force of these attacks was enough to send debris and earth soaring into the air, further emphasizing the titanic strength of the leviathan dragons.

It was a spectacle of destruction, a display of raw power that left an indelible mark on the battleground, a testament to the overwhelming might of these mythical beings.

Those attacks seemed too big… Rain couldn't help but feel like the dragons had other reasons for that aside from creating a path toward the capital. Still, he didn't have time to think about that… as long as he was able to kill them fast enough, things would be fine.

"Easier said than done," Rain thought. "Until the other comes, I can't let a war of attrition happen. The Kraken dragons can regenerate fast, and the leviathan dragons should be pretty resilient. Time is of the essence. Maybe this is my punishment for asking for monsters to level up faster."

After making up his mind, Rain's aura changed, and the two dragons closest to him finally felt his presence and stopped attacking the surroundings. Before long, the Kraken dragon pointed its tentacles at Rain and then fired numerous blasts of water in his direction.

Even though Rain was one kilometer away, it only took three seconds for them to reach Rain. Avoiding that had been easy… Rain just used Impulse to the side and avoided and began to focus again… he was as efficient as ever… no, he had to be more efficient than usual.
