Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Both enemies charged toward Rain at the same time, but he wasn't hesitant in facing them. After touching the ground, he covered his arms in hardened earth and then charged at them.

Rain and the two enemies began to punch each other with all their might. Even though they had the numerical advantage, the enemies didn't lay a single finger on Rain because his punches pushed them backward with every hit.

Once again, the rain stopped falling in a single area on the battlefield, thanks to the power of their attacks. Still, at the same time, the enemies were starting to grunt in pain since their fingers were breaking, and they didn't have time to heal them.

Eventually, the damage piled up and made the enemies take a single step backward.

Rain used that chance to punch them with all his might, and while they blocked his attack, the earth surrounding his fists turned into sand and then hit the eyes of the enemies… They began to cough and close their eyes out of reflex, and thanks to that, Rain used the chance to kick one in the head with another flying kick, and then he punched the area below the ear of the other.

When he fell unconscious, Rain pierced his stomach with his right hand.

"I guess killing while using my hands like a blade is some sort of technique as well," Rain thought.

Rain looked to the side and then saw Jori cutting the neck of one of the enemies and making them bleed to death. Reca also filled the arms of one opponent with holes until they couldn't do anything else, and then she went for a thrust on the throat… They were finally fighting back, and the earth sphere was protecting them, but it was taking too long to defeat that tribe of enemies.

"What can I do here to learn a lot and speed up this battle?" Rain thought.

The same tricks won't do it since the enemies are that strong. In the end, Rain could only do his best workout holding back… he also had to do something that went beyond what people knew about him.

Rain quickly checked his paths for a moment and confirmed that he was becoming more well-rounded again… that is what happens when you keep using the same paths over and over again.

"I guess I should combine all my strengths in a single type of attack," Rain thought and then lowered his stance to charge at the next enemies.

For starters, Rain used earth magic and hardened as much as possible around his fists, creating a pair of short claws on his knuckles. They were so sturdy as they were heavy… they were even heavier than the weights that he used to wear.

After that, Rain charged toward the enemies while using Iron Fists. He used a ton of mana to make the claws, but he had to use his stamina to enhance their power as well. With a resolute determination, Rain launched himself into the next attack. His reinforced knuckles connected with the enemy's arms, the force of the impact tearing through flesh and bone as if they were mere paper.

The enemy's attempt to block the attack was futile, as Rain's strike opened a hole in their guard, an opportunity he seized without hesitation.

Exploiting the gap in the enemy's defenses, Rain's fist surged forward, propelled by his unwavering resolve. His fist struck the enemy's stomach with an explosive burst of power, the impact resonating with a bone-shaking force. The force of the blow was immense, and it felt as if time itself slowed down at that moment.

As Rain's fist made contact, the enemy's body reacted to the devastating force, the impact sending shockwaves through their form. The attack penetrated a significant portion of the enemy's abdomen, causing a visceral shockwave that rippled through their body. With a guttural cry, the enemy was launched backward, propelled by the sheer force of Rain's strike.

The sound of the impact echoed through the air, mingling with the rain and the howling wind. The enemy hurtled through the rain-soaked battlefield, their body carried by the momentum of Rain's attack. They tumbled and rolled through the mud, their movements finally coming to a halt as they skidded to a stop.

Rain wondered why three paths gained experience instead of a skill first. Still, that didn't matter now. His attack silenced the area of the battlefield since it created a blast of wind that spread around in an area and pushed away the particles of rain. Many enemies looked at Rain and recognized him as a threat, and he welcomed that.

Rain also charged toward the enemies, and he didn't try to defend himself. It was time to test his endurance… The first enemy hit Rain first, but he ignored that and followed with his own attacks… His punch hit the enemy in the chest and sent the guy flying in the distance while a powerful blast of wind pushed the rain away yet again.

The second attacked with one hand and then used the other to block Rain's punch. Still, the exchange ended up in the same way, perhaps even worse, considering that the arm of that guy was completely destroyed upon the impact. Things were about to reach the final phase...
