Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 782 True power

As Rain stood amidst the battle against the Meteor dragons, the toll of the fierce fight was glaringly evident on his once-vibrant form. His figure, adorned with his torn and charred clothes, bore the marks of an intense and brutal conflict.

The entirety of Rain's body was a canvas of devastation, a collage of wounds and burns that covered every inch of his being. Scorch marks, singed flesh, and blistered skin marred his youthful complexion, a testament to the ferocity of the fire he endured.

His clothes hung in tatters, barely clinging to his body, soaked with blood and seared by the intense heat of the dragons' attacks. The remnants of his attire offered little protection, leaving Rain's exposed skin vulnerable to the scorching flames that had engulfed him repeatedly during the battle.

Despite his undeniable wounds, Rain remained standing, a clear sign to his resilience and unyielding determination. His posture was resolute, and his eyes, though clouded with weariness, still glimmered with an unwavering resolve.

Although Rain only used the seals when he was about to attack, Rain still could tell that he was burdening Terra and Seara… he wasn't receiving mana or healing as fast as before.

When Rain looked to the side, he could see the warriors of the raging Phoenix falling one after the others, their bodies in an even worse state than his… Terra and Seara were trying to support everyone with their magic and potions, but they could only do so much… they were reaching their limits as well.

"... I have to… think…" Rain said while breathing roughly.

Before he could come up with something, Rain saw the volcan dragons approaching. They were charging like mad beasts… and they looked like they had come with a single goal, to use their special ability.

Rain didn't have a single idea of what he should do… the only option was to keep using the Ruthless Path. Clouding his mind and numbing his judgment… as long as they can win, who cares what happens to Rain? As long as they live, he can deal with everything else.

After taking a deep breath, Rain made up his mind and began to cover himself in an armor of dark ice… still, the dragons were able to sense his intentions and soon arrived on the area… without hesitation, even though the creature was five hundred meters away, the first volcan dragon exploded.

The blast of searing hot wind reached Rain before the ice armor could be completed and the pain made his body tremble and disrupt his focus. Pieces of the beast began to fall around, but soon they were hit by water spears and were decimated.

"Leave this to me," Seadrei declared. "We can't let them get closer to the city."

Rain knew that better than anyone else… the warriors of the raging Phoenix were pushed away by the heat of the blast when they were five hundred meters away, some of them had fallen thanks to it. They were exhausted as well, so it wouldn't take long for them to fall… and more volcan dragons were approaching while the meteor dragons moved away to escape the blast.

In the end, Rain charged toward the beast as he covered his arms into the dark ice and turned them into blades that protected himself while he was spinning… understanding Rain's resolve, the volcan dragons made up their minds as well… they began to explode one after the other.

The blasts of the explosions pushed Rain away and prevented him from hitting them, so he didn't kill them and they just spread around, but at least that spared the warriors who were trying to reform their ranks to stop the meteor dragons when they try to approach again.

Since Seara didn't have to buff them with her magic anymore, Rain was able to receive her mana once more, but it was quickly used to repair the dark ice that was being destroyed by the blasts…

"This isn't going to work…" Rain thought.

Seadrei was trying to attack the monsters and kill their parts, but thousnads of pieces were already around and before he can destroy all the parts of a single one, all the others would recover, so Rain decided to use his mind.

Rain flew downward and then stabbed the pieces of the volcan dragons and then touched them with his ring when they began to freeze… he didn't see blood being absorbed, but a red miasma began to be absorbed…

As the ring absorbed the dragons essence, Rain was able to sense their lust and understand their abilities. The volcan dragons had an overwhelming need to consume and destroy. They lust for destruction and that was why their sin was lust…

The true ability granted to the Volcan dragons by the sin of lust might appear deceiving at first glance. While the explosive nature of their attacks may seem like a self-destructive mechanism, it is, in fact, a means to an end that indulges their intense desire for destruction as much as possible… Stay tuned with novelbuddy

The core ability bestowed upon the Volcan dragons by the sin of lust was not self-destruction, but rather, an extraordinary capacity for self-repair.

This unique ability allows them to regenerate and rebuild themselves from the ashes and destruction they cause, thus satisfying their insatiable urge for annihilation and renewal… as long as the surroundings had enough heat, their pieces would move toward each other. At night, it would be a bit slower, but during the day, it would be many times faster.

In essence, their ability to self-destruct is a means to an end—a path toward satisfying their lust for destruction. However, it is their remarkable capability to repair and rebuild themselves that truly defines their embodiment of the sin of lust.

This cycle of destruction and restoration serves as an outlet for their overwhelming desires while perpetuating their existence as chaotic and enduring entities within this world… and now Rain was planning to use that ability against them.
