Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 851 Mortal Bet

Despite these conflicting emotions, Rain ultimately came to terms with his own limitations. He acknowledged that while he desired to help everyone and shoulder their burdens, there was a limit to what he could realistically handle or manage right now.

By accepting this truth, he aimed to be more realistic in his approach, understanding that attempting to take on more than he could handle would not be beneficial for anyone involved.

In the end, Rain decided to think in silence for a while to think of the best options that they had... moving everyone to a single place was probably the best, but that also would make them easier to find by the enemies.

At the same time, things would be difficult for the sea folk since they needed to repay the favor they obtained from the demi humans... they also didn't have a land that they could use.

"We have to get rid of the ice dragons, but that will draw attention to us as well," Rain thought. "It looks like the best option to keep increasing our strength in silence and surprise the enemies."

Rain knew that he had to make some more definitive moves... things like finding the human who attacked the magic and beast people, the teleport guy and confirm that the dragon god truly wasn't looking at Earth right now... once all of those take place, they had to start decreasing the number of enemies...

The best place to hide was the first layer of the planet... but that was a place that they couldn't use that well. There was no light, growing food there will be difficult and hiding was also something that they didn't want to do it anymore. Rain took a deep breath to clear his head... as usual, things were only getting more complicated.

While Rain was trying to come up with a solution, Terra eventually fell asleep while resting on his lap... it looked she enjoyed that a bit too much and she didn't mind bein seeing in that position. Regardless, everyone there was sleeping heavily and things had gotten dark outside, so it was fine.

That was a bit worrisome, but it couldn't be helped... it was another lesson that Rain learned. Eventually, he knew that he would find a way to deal with all that.

The Gambit's Path represents a particular line and specialization within the magical system that emphasizes strategic thinking, calculated risk-taking, and mastery over tactics. This path is not merely about raw power or brute force but revolves around using intelligence, cunning, and foresight to outmaneuver opponents. Luck + 10

Lv 01: Mortal Bet - by deciding a condition before a fight and accomplishing it, you can take a certain amount of energy from the enemy even before defeating them. The amount will be equal to the level of the skill multiplied by one hundred and it is applied to Health, Mana, and Stamina.

Rain felt annoyed because he didn't want such limitations... Still, the system worked like that because nobody anyone developing stupidly unreasonable techniques.

In any case, Rain had another idea, but he didn't know if he wanted to develop the technique and give the system the chance to stop the potential of the technique.

"I guess it will be fine... once I am strong enough to fight the system, the limits will be lifted," Rain thought. "Maybe I should work with that in mind..."

In any case, Rain began to work on how the next technique should work, and he tried to increase the mana density in his domain to fight the system, but it didn't work once again...

A new skill was added to the Diligence Path.
