Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1077: Like father, like daughter

The atmosphere crackled with the merged forces of dark mana and icy cold, creating an oppressive aura that signaled a shift in the tides of the conflict. The colossal figure, now empowered by the absorbed energy, prepared to unleash a devastating counterattack against Rain. The battlefield stood on the brink of a new phase, and the air itself seemed to shudder in anticipation of the impending clash.

The enemy moved his hammer to the side, and then the thing began to expand… it only stopped when it was three times bigger than the enemy himself… while the monsters were trembling, the others used that chance to finish the monsters off.

Only a couple dozen of them were left, but when they turned around and saw that weapon, they understood that the monsters would be a walk in the park compared to that guy.

Rain remained focused on the task ahead, but it looked like he had underestimated things a fair bit… At that point in time, he lost sight of the enemy, and before his brain could even respond to that, he was hit on his side by the colossal hammer. Things would have been bad if Maxime hadn't reacted and blocked the attack.

At the same time, Sakaki pierced the forehead of the enemy and used his magic to paralyze him. Still, he was repelled by a pulse of mana, and his body began to freeze as well, thanks to the cold…

In the next moment, Rain disappeared in the distance… even though Maxime blocked most of the hit, the impact still got Rain… after a couple of seconds, the area trembled, and one of the ice volcanoes in the distance began to collapse… such was the power of the enemy.

The enemy stopped moving for a while and analyzed the result of his work… something was off. He still could sense the readings of Rain's life force. Even if half of the attack was canceled by the hammer, the rest should have been enough to kill him.

When the enemy prepared to attack again, he suddenly raised his hammer to the side and was pushed away… Sealyn suddenly arrived in the area and almost impaled his neck.

The enemy was pushed away for hundreds of meters while he looked at her focused and angry eyes… all of a sudden, Sealyn vanished, and as if she was copying Rain, she began to fly around and attack the enemy from all directions. That guy began to tremble all over, thanks to the impacts, but he kept his guard up and avoided getting hit… Sealyn wasn't slower than Rain.

In fact, she was faster… but the proximity of the armor of the enemy slowly covered her body and armor on ice.

"The more you attack, the worse it will get," Nigel said. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Shut up!" Sealyn said while insisting on the attacks.

"Like father, like daughter," Nigel shurruged. "Being insufferable must be a family trait."

Before long, Sealyn felt her arms getting heavier and stiffer… that wasn't good; even though the relics were supposed to protect her from water-related attacks, they could only do so much against area-of-effect attacks.

It reached a point where Sealyn got slow enough that the enemy suddenly grabbed her spear and stopped her attack with her bare hands… while everyone opened their eyes widely when they saw that, Seadrei, Seadir, Annie, and Danny attacked the enemy from one side in a quick succession of attacks.

They launched their attacks and left the area and gave room to the next… that all happened in half a second, and that disrupted the focus of the enemy.

When the guy looked at them, three figures suddenly approached from the other direction. They attacked the other side of the enemy. They were Regis' bodyguards. Luna's body was enveloped in lightning and shocked the enemy for a moment, while the other two attacked the arm that had grabbed Sealyn's weapon with a barrage of fire-enhanced punches.

Thanks to that, they were able to fight the cold and made the arm lose some strength as well… but not before the enemy suddenly swung his hammer and smashed everyone… at least that was the intention. Isa suddenly appeared and blocked the attack. This time, her arms were emitting a powerful cold aura as well that resisted the impact.

However, she was still sweating cold since she was suffering damage despite that.

Thanks to that, everyone woke up and then pointed their hands at the enemy and fired lightning bolts at him. Each attack only caused a small amount of damage, but it began to pile up. The eyebrow of the enemy twitched. He finally showed some emotion in that battle… Still, it only made him more annoyed and eager to attack them once more. However, the enemy suddenly let go of the spear and moved away.

A sudden burst of energy pierced through the air with incredible speed, catching the attention of both allies and enemies alike. A powerful lightning bolt surged from the distance, streaking across the battlefield and narrowly missing the towering enemy. The impact of the attack was so forceful that it struck the enemy's base, causing its front walls to crumble and collapse.

All eyes turned towards the source of this unexpected strike, and a collective gasp echoed through the ranks. From the direction of the ice volcano, the direction that Rain had been sent to, thanks to the previous attack… he was still nowhere to be seen. Still, it looked like he was very much alive.

The enemy, now facing a three-front assault, shifted his attention between the relentless attacks of the allied forces. It was a moment of hesitation that had consequences.

"Use the fire gloves!" Roan shouted. "We need to decrease the added defense added by the frost! He is only immune to elemental attacks now!"

Roan, Asche, Liss, Jori, and Reca wanted to use their main weapons. Still, they kept sending blasts of fire toward the enemy… they could only do that before they could cause any real damage.
