Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 452: Recklessness

With that much power, the sea emperor and his beasties could create their own path in the human territory and then move toward all cities and towns to destroy every single one of them, and they wouldn't be able to do a single thing against it.

"You don't look very impressed. I knew that father could do that, but I feel goosebumps while seeing this," Seadir said while showing a nervous smile.

"I am the type of person who uses situations like this to learn as much as possible," Rain explained. "Instead of getting nervous, I prefer to choose to analyze the situation and gain some things in exchange. Like the fact that, possibly, these creatures are somewhat bound to your father's spear. Was your father able to control them as soon as he was able to hold the spear?"

"Eh? I am not sure..." Seadir frowned.

Rain noticed a slight change in the aura of the sea emperor, and since he heard that, Rain assumed that his assumption was correct. Still, maybe he shouldn't have said that out loud now. People will think that he might one day target the spear to obtain control of the beasties.

In fact, what Rain was truly interested in was the possibility that the presence of other coral spears made Seadrei's weapon become stronger or make him stronger... he was using a lot of mana, after all.

Before long, everyone was able to see a massive path in the continent that they could use, and soon, they began to cross it. It was at least two kilometers wide and several hundred deep since the monsters were able to cross it. It was truly a spell that could reshape the world.

"He wants to show his true might, even if he is just showing off. It is a way to avoid future problems," Rain thought.

As the group crossed the path while following the water cyclone in the distance, they could see the whole area trembling thanks to it. Some rocks and pieces of the ground were raining around the area, but it should be fine since no one lived there.

"Well, that seemed like a minor detail in your life, so it makes sense you would forget that," Rain said.

Reca punched Jori's side a few times thanks to that... he had messed up. At the same time, that was one hell of a death flag. While seeing Reca punching Jori, Rain finally realized... he was looking into the future too much that he didn't realize many things in the present... one of them was the fact that Reca's stomach was a bit bigger. Rain immediately facepalmed.

Jori was too dumb to realize that, but Reca should have realized the changes in her body... when Rain looked at the others in the group, mainly the women, they all looked away.

"What is wrong? The atmosphere suddenly changed," Roan said while looking around.

Rain realized that Orcis and Branden were completely unaware of that as well. Lorene stayed away from the group, so she didn't know it, but Esmeralda certainly knew.

"I will give you guys a lesson later about risk management. When I am done with it, your ears will be throbbing," Rain said.

In the end, Rain decided to keep that as a secret for now... there was no point in informing everyone of that and making their focus waver.

When midnight came, Rain began to recognize the area that they were in, so he stopped his lecture. He separated the guys from the girls and told them over and over again that hiding such a thing had been beyond reckless. It has been stupid... even his mother and grandmother didn't escape from the earful.

"This area is twenty or so kilometers West of their current base, and we can stop here," Rain said when he approached Seadrei.
