Chapter 781 Cost of power
Rain jumped from one side to the other while attacking the meteor dragons using the same strategy... it didn't look like the meteor dragons had any other ideas since they also did the same and they also didn't try to put much distance between them.

Still, the moment that they had expected arrived... all of a sudden, Rain's giant earth arms cracked, and soon after, they began to fall into pieces... when Rain looked at the golem dragons, they had moved away from the battlefield a fair bit in order not to help him indirectly.@@@@
The meteor dragons formed an encirclement around Rain and used their attacks, but soon, several water walls appeared around him, and they froze as well. The walls quickly evaporated, but they created a mist that covered Rain and made him disappear.
"... It must have been Seadrei," Rain thought as he landed. "What should I do now?"
Rain didn't have many ideas... he didn't have a single one, actually under the confusion. His skin started to dry quite fast thanks to the conditions of the battlefield, and while he didn't sustain serious wounds yet, his body was getting heavier... the more he used the rings with the power of the sins, the more his mind got foggy as well...
"... I have to use the Seals," Rain thought. "At least now and then... if I fail here, the raging Phoenix will not survive and fight with the others to at least buy time for the next generation."
Rain made up his mind, and then left the steam cloud... when he showed up again, the enemies saw that Rain's giant ice arms gave room to giant ice blades, and then Rain began to spin.
"First, second, third Seal... off," Rain said.
As Rain ascended into the air, a sudden high-pitched whirring sound reverberated across the battlefield. His figure blurred into a whirlwind of motion, resembling a spinning shuriken cutting through the air. The intensity of his movements increased as he darted around the battleground, leaving behind a trail of quick, indistinct motions.

As Rain continued his fight, a profound sensation coursed through him—an unmistakable surge in his own strength. The power he felt was growing at an astonishing pace, fueled by the energy he had absorbed from the dragons.
With each passing moment, Rain sensed an overwhelming increase in his capabilities, a formidable power-up that far surpassed his usual limits. The sheer magnitude of this power surge was awe-inspiring and somewhat frightening, even to someone as experienced as Rain.
The realization struck him deeply. The power inherent in the sins, the very forces he had absorbed, was unparalleled. It dawned on Rain that if the dragons could harness and amplify their strength through these means, it was no wonder they reigned supreme at the apex of the natural hierarchy.
Amidst the feeling of the surging power he was experiencing, Rain also sensed a disquieting presence stirring within him. There was a growing sensation, a nebulous and ominous force that seemed to coil and expand, creating an unsettling unease at the core of his being.
The disconcerting sensation threatened to overwhelm Rain's senses, casting a shadow over his clarity of purpose. It created a fog of uncertainty that dulled his convictions and real goals, almost blinding him to the reasons why he continued to fight amidst the chaotic battlefield... it was truly a corrupted power.
