Rain's mind was clear and serene... dark desires and endless anger weren't affecting him and yet, he clearly received the notifications like he was using a skill similar to the corrupted skills of the dragons.

"It isn't a corrupted skill... but it doesn't come without limitations," Rain thought. "Still, this will come in handy. The guys on the squads work with each other for a while and we made them train enough to see each other like brothers... they will become quite strong if they can have at least ten people that they vow to protect with their lives."
Before leaving to work on the tunnel, Rain explained to his wives what he had just done and learned and they looked at each other in confusion.
"... What will happen if you fail to do that?" Terra asked. "Not like I am being overly pessimistic here... but if this is just like Seal, what will happen? You will just lose some levels on the skills or are you going to suffer some sort of drawback."
"I am also worried that you will become an even worse workaholic if you vow to protect one hundred people," Seara frowned.
"Well, it shouldn't much of a drawback since I will probably die first before anything happen to you guys," Rain shrugged. "So, don't worry about it."
Rain decided to name this technique the "Greedy Vow." The term was fitting, as this magical ritual bound people to certain actions or responsibilities in exchange for power. It was a pact that required a profound level of commitment, and Rain was driven to work harder than ever. He understood the gravity of the vow and the immense burden it placed on him.
In this unique pact, if he failed to protect those he had vowed to safeguard, the consequences would be very dire. The strength of his determination would be tested to its limits. Failure might even drive him to madness, as only an unwavering resolve could fuel the magic of the Greedy Vow.
Rain recognized that the stakes were high, but he was prepared to embrace the challenge and deepen his connection with this newfound source of power.
"All this much is only natural, given that I basically got ten percent stronger on a single evening... power always with a price, after all," Rain thought. "Still, this might be hard to pull off... Also, I can't understand how this is connected to water magic."
Maybe it wasn't since the kraken dragons technique was different... then again, how their technique worked with water? Rain had no idea and while he didn't need to know to learn it, he needed to know in order to counter completely.
"I am going to work on the tunnel, if things go well, I should be able to finish it in one week, even though I can only work at night," Rain said.
"Your powers are starting to make a lot less sense than usual," Terra said. "Do you know what you will have to do in order to make the travel time decrease?"
"One problem at a time," Rain said. "Let me celebrate this big victory first. A double massage will be good enough."
In the end, Terra and Seara punched Rain in the stomach...
