Chapter 702 Thirst
In such a dire situation, Rain would typically feel a surge of anger directed at the dragons for eliminating their own ally, even if he played a significant role in causing the damage. However, his mind was shrouded in a thick fog of hatred at this moment.
His singular focus was on wreaking havoc and annihilating as many dragons as possible, leaving no room for considerations or emotions beyond the burning desire for revenge. The intensity of the battle had transformed Rain into a relentless force, driven solely by the instinct to retaliate and emerge victorious.
Even amidst the enveloping darkness of the night, Terra and Seara observed Rain engaged in the battle. Their surprise was palpable as they witnessed Rain's remarkable proficiency with a spear, a skill set that he had they hadn't expected. Despite the simplicity of his movements, there was an undeniable effectiveness and lethality in his every strike.
Rain's prowess with the spear added a new layer to their understanding of his combat abilities, leaving Terra and Seara thoroughly impressed by his versatility in the heat of battle.
"Isn't he even stronger than before?" Seara asked while furrowing her eyebrows. "I can't feel him using that much of my mana either. Something is different from the usual him."
"... It must be because of the shield. He is effectively using him," Terra said while looking at Rain through the corner of her vision while she healed a bunch of warriors. "I just hope that this cursed item won't overtake his mind." Discover exclusive tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Rain had already killed five of the leviathan dragons in less than five minutes, and the walls of water had decreased in length as well... it created some holes in the cage, and most of the water escaped through those holes, so which brought the group some time, but the levels of the water were still increasing.
The leviathan dragons stopped altogether with their plan of destroying the capital, at least not without using magic. Rain's rampage made them focus on him, and thanks to it, the warriors, soldiers, and mages were able to attack the monsters relatively safely. However, the number of warriors was decreasing since they had to move while the water was already on their waists.
In the next moment, Rain swung the spear sideways, and at first, it looked like it didn't hit anything, but then the area on his right side on the flesh of the leviathan dragon began to freeze until it was completely covered in ice... Rain didn't use any extra mana on his attack, but he could feel that it had been used... his instincts warned him that such a thing wasn't normal, but he couldn't stop.
In the end, he kicked the frozen area and completely shattered it.
It didn't take long for Rain to connect the dots... the more blood the weapon touched, the more it grew powerful. Rain, in his focused state, couldn't feel his mana growing, so he wondered what was going on... a weapon couldn't have its magic properties increased like that... unless it was alive and it was getting experience, too.
Rain decided to confirm that theory when three Leviathan dragons attacked him at once. He jumped with all his might and then coiled his body like a spring after he dodged the attacks. When he threw the spear downward toward the head of one of the monsters that had just attacked him, the weapon pierced and drilled the head of the monster while it froze everything on its way.
An unknown skill leveled up.

The skill Ancient Stamina received 10.000 experience points.
As expected... something else was gaining experience, and that something was trying to take over his spear... Rain couldn't see that, but it was the shadow coming from his shield.
