Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

The battlefield was suddenly bathed in an eerie yet captivating spectacle as Branden unleashed his newfound technique. The spell that Rain had taught him was a masterpiece of ice magic, creating snow flames that fell from the sky like ethereal meteors. Each delicate snowflake was a crystalline work of art, shimmering with an otherworldly beauty as it descended upon the unsuspecting enemies.

As the snowflakes made contact with the enemy forces, the magical transformation took hold. The snowflakes enveloped the unfortunate foes in an icy cocoon. It was a haunting sight as their movements slowed, and their very essence seemed to be frozen in time. The soldiers became living sculptures encased in glittering ice, their expressions frozen in a mixture of shock.

The power of the spell was undeniable, turning the tides of battle in a chilling and mesmerizing fashion. Branden's control over the icy forces was impressive, and the destructive beauty of his snowflakes was both a testament to his magical prowess and a terrifying force on the battlefield.

However, the spell came at a steep price, consuming an exorbitant amount of mana, and its use had to be well-timed to ensure it didn't leave Branden depleted on the battlefield.

"You should start drinking the potions, I can't see Rain and the others approaching yet and your spell is the only thing that is putting things on equal footing," Esmeralda said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"... Thanks," Branden said after a long sigh.

"Don't complain, your queen is here to help you, so be grateful," Esmeralda added.

"Yes, ma'am," Branden said and then sighed again.

Rain's plans didn't involve Esmeralda, while she would follow his tactics, he didn't feel like it would be a good idea for people to know that he was ordering around the queen of the human country, it would only make people think more that she was just a puppet.

In any case, the combination of the water spells of the sea dragon and the freezing rain casted by Branden was deadly… enemies got wet and the snowflakes would freeze them almost instantly… Thanks to that, the battlefield became more equal. Not for long… the large-scale spells surprised the enemies, but they didn't have any regard for their lives. Enjoy new stories from empire

So soon they jumped toward the soldiers when they were freezing and began to freeze them as well… sacrificing one per one was just great for them.

"Not good…" Branden said while he was feeling a terrible migraine and seeing the soldiers being pushed back.

One hour had passed since the start of the battle… Rain told Branden that if things go correctly, he will be able to arrive three hours after the start of the battle… so they had to withstand two more hours… that didn't seem possible, though.

As if things weren't troublesome enough, something insane happened… all of a sudden and in the middle of the night, the battlefield started to get clear as day. Everyone was surprised when they looked upward, and they saw the sun descending from the sky… it seemed like the sun, but Branden quickly realized thanks to Magic Eyes, that it was just a giant fireball.

Branden gulped… the Fireball was like one kilometer wide and long… It was slowly approaching the area and quickly made the snow clouds evaporate and almost heated up the battlefield.

"... This is Insanity…" Branden said.

Esmeralda, on his side, was trying to keep her composure, but she was pale as a ghost. At that point in time, it was clear that the enemies were toying with them… they could just drop that fireball in the capital and nothing would be left.

They had been warned by Rain that the enemies had some underlings that defied logic with their powers, but they didn't think that it would be at that level.

The sea dragon fired a blast of water, the most powerful one that it could fire toward the massive fireball, but all the water just evaporated before it could touch the fireball…

All the soldiers stopped for a moment thinking that they would become charcoal, and the enemies took the reins over the battlefield… only for a moment.

In the next moment, a massive spinning thing that was also giant hit the giant fireball and while it melted almost instantly as well, it made its size decrease by twenty percent…

Before anyone could look in the direction the attack came from. They saw something else flying toward the fireball… it was a small, red, blue, and green thing… it attacked the fireball with all its might, and a single attack made the spell unstable… the shape of the fireball began to contort while it was being pushed away before soon exploding.

A blast of heat spread across the area and everyone began to sweat a lot, but soon they realized that the whole thing was only big, it wasn't completely made of fire, the interior was almost empty. In essence, the enemy only tried to fool everyone…

In the next moment, Rain began to fall after attacking the Fireball… while the spell wasn't that insane, it was still powerful and he took the blast of the explosion head on… as such, his hair was standing and completely dry. At the same time, his body was emitting a ton of steam when he landed on the middle of the battlefield.

"This party is getting crazy, let's rock," Rain said while looking at the countless enemies around him. "If you guys want to keep hiding in the shadows, I won't bother inviting you all to a fight, but I understand your challenge already. Soon, I will be where you are."

While clacking his fingers, Rain saw the enemies charging at him… they want to bathe him in their blood, he already had a trick up his sleeve against them. He made his forearm guards extend with ice magic until they became ice blades and in the next moment, Rain began to spin on the battlefield like a top and claimed the lives of the enemies on his path.
