Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 907 907: Final action

Sealyn hesitated for a moment… she didn't expect that the enemies would try to split them up and soon would surround them as well. The sea dragons could store large amounts of mana, and since the mirror dragons copied their shape, then they had that ability as well… the dragons came prepared for a total war of attrition to keep them busy there… probably to achieve something elsewhere.

Sealyn clenched her fists in anger and grabbed her spear to charge at the enemies… she knew that she would be targeted by countless sea dragons even if she killed one, but that was the best option… even if it put her at risk, they had to leave the encirclement.

Fortunately, before she could make her move… Rain made him… the crystal death knight arrive at the scene and immediately chopped off the head of one of the sea dragons. The creature didn't expect an attack from behind and didn't even realize what had happened.

Soon another mirror dragon approached, thanks to their rhythm march, and devoted the crystal death knight, but soon the creature passed through the body of the creature using its katana and ripped it apart, killing it.

An unknown skill leveled up.

The Diligence path received 2500 experience points.

The Diligence path received 3500 experience points.

Rain wanted to know why the second dragon gave more experience when it had been easier to kill, but that was a question for another time. Several other mirror dragons died before they finally realized what was going on… they were moving like bots while keeping their eyes on the sea warriors.

Still, when they realized what was going on, they fired blasts of water toward the Crystal Death Knight and pushed the creature away… but the attacks didn't do much since the creature blocked them with its sword. Moreover, that forced the sea dragons and mirror dragons to slow down, and that gave the sea warriors the chance that they wanted.

"Attack!" Seara shouted as Sealyn charged toward the beasts.

Chaos erupted on the battlefield after that. As the sea warriors engaged in combat, Sealyn led by example, charging into the heart of the enemies without giving explicit orders. Her unwavering bravery and display of sheer strength served as a beacon, inspiring her comrades to fight at their utmost potential.

Despite the lack of formal orders, the sea warriors rallied around Sealyn, driven by her bold actions and determination.

Adding to the sea warriors' vigor, Seara contributed to the escalating conflict by utilizing her sound magic to bolster the strength of everyone on their side. This enhancement served as a powerful buff, elevating the combat capabilities of the sea warriors. Empowered by Sealyn's leadership and Seara's supportive magic, the sea warriors resisted the dragons' assaults more effectively.

Even the dragons' attempts to push them back with blasts of water and tail strikes were met with clear resistance, only momentarily slowing down the sea warriors' advance.

"Even though I am using a sword to control that thing, I still don't get any experience with Swordsmanship… this is tough," Rain thought. "I guess I can't cheat the system this way…"

The crystal death knight was doing a good job holding back a bunch of dragons and splitting them apart when he could, but Rain was starting to get bored of fighting like that… he felt restless not punching things. It became a weird part of him…

"Their aura is changing," Larisa said. "Something big is going to happen soon."

Larisa's earlier warning enabled him to recognize the danger lurking in their surroundings. Despite the sea warriors' commendable efforts and the initial advantage gained, Rain remained vigilant, understanding the dragons' behavior. He became aware of a particular tactic dragons often resorted to when pressed into a dire situation.

Rain's thoughts were validated when he observed a significant portion of the dragons, driven by the urgency of the situation, swimming away into the distance. This strategic withdrawal by a sizable portion of the dragon forces signaled a shift in their tactics.

Simultaneously, the injured dragons, although wounded, exhibited increased mobility and accelerated their approach, closing the gap between them and their adversaries.

The dragons' maneuvering—half retreating while the wounded ones intensified their advance—confirmed Rain's suspicions. This orchestrated movement indicated a deliberate tactical adjustment on the dragons' part… a suicidal attack.

"Sons of a whore…" Rain thought while raising his guard.

The encirclement was getting tighter, and it was impossible for everyone to retreat and escape. Upon realizing what the dragons were planning, Sealyn made up her mind.

"Get closer and use your magic to push away all of them!" Sealyn shouted.

As if something like that had happened before, all the warriors moved and formed a giant sphere and then they pointed their hands to their front. The dragons were getting closer and their aura was growing erratically as well. Eventually, all of them were surrounded by the darkness since the trap completely sealed them off and then it happened.

A difficult and painful turn unfolded as approximately a hundred sea dragons resorted to a powerful and desperate tactic—self-destruction. Leveraging their innate powers and origins, the dragons, faced with a seemingly insurmountable predicament, unleashed all of their energy in a cataclysmic act of self-annihilation.

The water crackled with tension as the sea dragons, converging upon the sea warriors, ignited their formidable abilities. In a moment of dire desperation, these dragons, driven by their desire to win, triggered a chain reaction of self-destructive blasts. The unleashed power was overwhelming, a cascading torrent of destructive force that surged forth in an unending wave of power.

The resultant onslaught, a relentless barrage of water blasts, rained down upon the battlefield. Each surge of forceful water pierced through every pore and crevice, penetrating the defenses of the sea warriors and inflicting excruciating pain upon every combatant, including Rain himself. Their combined effort wasn't enough to fight back against the power of one hundred dragons lives…
