Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 508 Learning from the best

"I see, I get it now..." Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

In the end, Rain approached the group, and then Geo sighed in relief after showing a clear look of shock. It didn't seem like he had seen him before... so that could only mean one thing.

"I didn't expect to find you here. I guess our luck isn't so bad," Geo said.

"I wouldn't be so sure..." Rain said after he crossed his arms. "What are you doing here?"

"It makes sense for you to be so guarded... but we came just to tell you what happened that led to this entire situation," Geo said after a long sigh. "I would understand if you don't trust us, who, in the end, apparently betrayed our allies, but we are here to do our part."

Rain looked at Geo in the eye and studied him... they more or less had become allies in the past three years after the war in order to improve the life of the nations involved... Rain also repaired his town when it was over, after all. Even if Geo were the worst scumbag in the world, he would feel a bit indebted to Rain after that.

"All right, I am listening... it is what I would want to say, but I want to keep an eye on the army as well, so come with me to the walls," Rain said.

"We knew that... but we also knew that someone was orchestrating the end of our people and yours too," Geo explained. "We are aware that you waging war with the beast people, and we also know that some unknown forces targeted them as well. All the tribe leaders know that, but they let the blood rush to their heads. They don't care if another war truly wipe us out, and to be honest... I am scared of you.

I have the feeling that you can kill us all if you get fed up enough."

Geo had good instincts and a good head... using some simple tactics, brute efficiency, and his unusual skills that most people couldn't understand, Rain truly would be able to destroy a nation or two by himself. His fear wasn't unfounded.

"... So, you came to avoid that outcome," Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "You have a point, and I am starting to get tired of this situation. In the first place, it is due to your collective incompetence that someone was able to invade your country and wipe out two tribes. It isn't the fault of the humans as a whole."

Although Rain said that, he was more worried about something else... killing and capturing those two tribes was quite an odd choice. They were different from most of the other tribes, and their fighting style actually resembled Rain's a bit.

Another weird thing is that the enemy acted with some intelligence until now, and they should know that Rain probably could face and kill a lot of the magic people and get a lot stronger while doing that... could it have been that they made a mistake somewhere?

"Anyway, is there anything else that you can tell me that it might come in handy?" Rain asked.

"Unfortunately, no... aside from the fact that despite their harshness, everyone is determined to defeat you and humans, considering everything that they learned in the previous war, including the things that you showed," Geo said. "They are aware that you are at war with the beast people, so they won't mind if this war lasts for a while."

"They learned well on how to become a nuisance... it is annoying that they learned that from me," Rain frowned.
