Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 483: Warning

"That is not fair. This place is one of my homes, too," Seara protested.

"I know, but you can't let them think that they should attack your brethren at sight, too," Rain said. "Relax. I will make things easier for everyone, so you won't have to worry about letting them do all the heavy lifting."

"... How are you planning to do that?" Seara asked.

"Hehehe, that is for me to know and for you to find out," Rain grinned from ear to ear.

"Don't smile like that when our kids are around," Terra frowned.

"Sorry... Anyways... just trust me, okay?" Rain said. "Although I am a bit rusty, the ideas are returning to my head now that there are some problems that I need to solve. Wait for a bit until I prepare myself."

Although Rain said that, he immediately headed to the mountains using the underground paths. Still, once he arrived there, he just sat down and began to meditate. Everyone thought that he was just recovering the mana that he had used, but in fact, he was doing some mental training while envisioning what he

Night came and passed without anyone realizing what Rain was doing, they only noticed that something was off when the sun began to rise and they noticed that the area was still pretty dark... when they went to check the outside, they noticed that the entire area was quite cloudy... they were in the middle of the summer, but the mountains were completely surrounded by dark clouds.

"Is he going to zap everyone with his lightning bolts?" Jori asked while he was swinging his sword and frowning since his form was a mess. "I trained as much as possible in the last three years, but what the hell is this?"

It is time to make them pay for letting such disgusting beings run wild."

Even though she was their queen, it was rare for the tribes to follow such orders without voicing any sort of complaints. That showed how much they were interested in the cause they were.

Still, as soon as the whole group began to leave that mountain at night, something worrisome happened. Their bodies started to get cold and they began to shiver... it was night and the temperature dropped, but not that much. Moreover, it wasn't windy... they didn't feel any spell being activated either.

When the beast queen realized what was happening and that her soldiers were unable to move behind the mountain, she quickly left her tent and approached the fissure, only to see Rain and his friends there. Less than fifteen people, and yet, they weren't afraid of a confrontation.

"Give the order for your soldiers to fall back," Rain said. "If they try to make any move that makes me think that they want to cross the fissure, they will die."

"I will not," The beast queen said while clenching her fists and teeth.

As the fissure split the two sides of the mountain, some of the beast people, daring and furious, attempted to leap across the chasm in a single leap to attack and rip Rain's throat. He could easily feel their bloodlust...

With their strong, powerful legs, they launched themselves with incredible force. However, as they crossed through the air, something weird happened. A numbing chill descended upon them, and their movements slowed unnaturally. In a matter of moments, their entire bodies were encased in a shimmering layer of ice.

These once-daring individuals became entrapped in frozen, coffin-like forms, suspended mid-air, their audacious leaps forever stilled.

In the next moment, they began to fall to the darkness of the fissure, and no one heard the sound of them hitting the bottom of it...
