Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 730 Dragon slayer

While it was an ideal path to foster their abilities and mastery, he couldn't definitively conclude whether it was the best strategy for ensuring survival.

This issue between striving for personal development and the pragmatic necessity of utilizing tools or external aids for survival posed a significant question for Rain. He grappled with the notion that in certain situations, relying solely on self-improvement might not be the most practical or effective method for ensuring their safety and survival, and he valued efficiency a lot...

"This is tough..." Rain thought and then sighed. "No point in thinking too much about this. I just have to keep doing my best and for the best. If all else fails..."

Rain didn't want to say that out loud... he wanted to believe that his current hard work would be enough. Also, it was better not to jinx himself with negativity. Rain decided to train his kids for a bit to change his mood. That worked well since he confirmed that his kids were stronger than he was at their age... it was hard to imagine them winning, though.

Just having high parameters wasn't enough... if all the fights were a dick measuring contests, Rain would never have survived the dragons.

"Ahahah, I mean..." Rain laughed. "Maybe I would with my dragon slayer."

"What are you talking about?" Terra asked while frowning. "Do you have any item called Dragon Slayer?"

"In a way, yes," Rain said. "But never mind that. Did you want something?"

"... Asche sent a message... it seems that a group from the magic people arrived this morning and camped a few kilometers away from Teria," Terra explained. "It is a group of only ten people."

As Rain approached Teria, he was greeted by an impressive sight. The entire assembly of warriors and soldiers stationed there seemed poised and alert, their attention fixed toward the western direction. Rain noticed a unified focus among them as they stood prepared and vigilant, their gazes locked onto a small camp belonging to the magic people situated in the distance to the West.

The scene unfolding before him revealed a palpable tension in the air as the warriors maintained a watchful and ready stance, displaying a disciplined readiness for any potential developments or actions from the camp of the magic people. The sight of such readiness and determination among his troops conveyed a sense of anticipation and seriousness regarding the situation at hand.

"You have come... to be honest, I was about to lose my patience," Asche said while she was making a pair of arrows spin between her fingers.

After the recent battle, the group had gained valuable insights into effectively utilizing the golden bow. Through their experiences, they discovered various methods to maximize the bow's potential. Interestingly, Asche showcased a unique ability to use items of significant value for her craft.

Leveraging this capability, she began crafting arrows using the bones of dragons—a material inherently precious and sought after by many.

These newly forged arrows possessed an exceptional quality, rendering them highly valuable and potent in combat. Their unique composition allowed Asche to imbue them with an extraordinary power, amplifying the strength of each shot fired from the golden bow tenfold.

This information significantly enhanced the destructive force behind every arrow Asche unleashed, transforming her ammunition into formidable projectiles capable of more significant impact and potency on the battlefield... they were only used once, though.

"Hold your horses. We have to ask first what our neighbors want before killing them," Rain said. "We aren't bloodthirsty barbarians, after all."@@@@
