Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 310: Messing with the enemies

Rhodes felt a bit guilty for just watching, so he ended up helping as well. He soon hurt his hands, though. In the end, Rain made for him earth gloves that would help him dig.

Around one hour later, Rain and the group eventually began to dig upward, and after not so long, they reached their destination. It was a dark place around, and it was pretty large. When Rain's eyes adjusted to the darkness, he confirmed that it was a large warehouse filled with boxes.

"Hehehe, messing with the enemies is so much fun," Rain said as he used his remaining mana to make the boxes slide on the ground toward him. Then he opened them, finding a ton of spiritual potions.

Joanis probably spent dozens of platinum coins to buy so many. In any case, Rain drank some and then continued the tunnel to the side, and it connected to another dungeon. Rain soon stopped since he found a presence there, though.

"Where are they?" Seadir asked.

"Beyond this wall," Rain replied and then took a deep breath since he stopped breathing to drink so many potions. "There is a guard there, but I will get rid of him soon and instantly."

"I can do that," Seadir declared.

"Not without leaving a lot of blood behind and making some noise," Rain said.

After Rain finished his preparations, he soon opened a hole in the dungeon, and then he found a man wearing the armor of a royal guard sitting on a staircase while nodding. The guy only had the chance to blink once after seeing Rain... in the next moment, he sank to the ground without leaving a trace behind.

One by one, Seadir and his friends moved the prisoners to the tunnel, and Rain made some carts using earth magic to move them with more ease. There were thirty of those there... and it seemed that a lot more people had been kidnapped than they had expected. Among them, there was a little girl that Seadir kept hugging during the whole time while biting his lips until they began to bleed.

When they finished the job, and Rain closed the tunnel and erased all traces of his actions. Three hours had passed, and in one hour, the sun was going to rise. Still, there was more work to be done.

"My friends work in an orphanage, and the enemies might be using them to make them betray me, so you will have to help me bring them here and move them to somewhere safe," Rain declared.

"We will help," Sirenus declared since Seadir was still trying to control his anger.

Come to think of it, Sirenus and Coraline didn't say anything until now. They only whispered among themselves during the trip. Still, they looked more serious and determined to truly help now that their people had been secured.

While drinking potions like there was no tomorrow, Rain dug a tunnel toward the orphanage and then readily connected it to the rooms of the kids. He couldn't believe that he was basically kidnapping kids to avoid them being used against his friends, but he didn't have time to think about that kind of thing.

Even more so when he confirmed that the place was being watched by a bunch of people outside in dark alleys.

"Man, they sure know how to be a massive pain in the ass..." Rain thought and then sighed.

In the end, Rain didn't have a hard time making the kids move while they were asleep. With a lot of potions at his disposal, literally hundreds of them, Rain just covered them in wind and made them fly to the tunnel. When they all woke up, he had sealed the holes and was far away from the orphanage.
