Chapter 511 Hooded figure
Terms of employment... no one could understand what Rain was talking about, but at least he decided to stop with the nonsense of hiring the underlings of the sea emperor... or making them change companies for that matter.
In any case, the group resumed their work and kept increasing the ice level in the area... to the point that even they began to feel the cold. The wind was blowing toward them, after all. Still, even with the walls, the magic people would be suffering more, and Rain soon confirmed that.
The skill Frostbite leveled up.
The Polymath Path received 360 experience points.

People in their camp began to die to the sheer cold, but they tried to keep fighting the ice... when night came again, the thick layer of ice was as tall as their walls, and without any other choice, the magic people began to retreat once more. They lost some of them along the way... but it didn't take long for them to move away from the scope of the spell.
"What now?" Cor asked.
"Now, I will take their hands and guide them back to their villages by any means necessary," Rain said.
Rain began to skate on the ice toward the magic people... they suffered around three hundred losses, and he was sure that many more got frostbites as well, but that wasn't enough. Rain had to crush their morale to make them think twice about attacking their territory again.
Cor and his fellow soldiers quickly understood and were thankful that their priority was not to chase the enemy army but to deal with that. They happily accepted this task, valuing the opportunity to do that instead of risking their lives against such odds.
Now, Rain had to confront another issue that demanded his attention. Geo, along with his twenty or so allies, was aware of the existence of the tunnel connecting the human cities. Rain recognized the significance of this knowledge; it was a sensitive secret that could not be allowed to spread.
Furthermore, Rain was aware that the woman who had previously manipulated his father was among Geo's associates. Her presence added an extra layer of difficulty to the situation. Keeping the tunnel's existence a closely guarded secret was absolutely necessary, as any leak of this information could have dire consequences for humans.
To maintain control over the situation, Rain needed to ensure the silence of Geo and his group, as well as Cor and the soldiers involved in addressing the flooding issue. He couldn't think of many solutions aside from annoying ones... kill them all or watch them.
Before leaving to chase the magic people, Rain looked at Seadir and then pointed at Geo and the others and even Cor's group. They understood the message: anyone who tries to do anything funny or moves away from the area will have the privilege of tasting Seadir's spear...
For two days, Rain chased the magic people from a distance... when they tried to stop to rest, Rain would make it snow, and then they would panic and think that he would freeze everyone, and soon they would resume their journey... when that time ended, they were way beyond the border and completely exhausted.
"I guess I can finally... huh?" Rain frowned when he thought that it was the perfect chance for the enemies to take down those guys. "... They would be easy pickings, wouldn't they right now?"
Experience tales at empire
Rain's senses warned him that he shouldn't leave right now... the idea of protecting enemies was insane, but he couldn't let them become part of the strength of an even more troublesome enemy.
Trying to confirm those thoughts, Rain checked the area for a while, and then he eventually saw the magic people suddenly stopping when they were just a few hundred meters away from the town of the golem masters... in front of them, Rain could see a hooded figure... as he was waiting for them...
