Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1142: Advice

The group returned as soon as they could to check Rain's condition. They were informed of what had happened, and they didn't doubt of Rain's reports… even him couldn't launch an attack that literally wound the planet like that. Even Rain couldn't launch a spell that would make the sandstorm dissipate as well.

"Did you get anything of real value aside from the other things?" Roan asked.

"A little bit, yeah… the knowledge is incomplete, but aside from regeneration, poison resistance that can also work as radiation resistance, I obtained some of the knowledge to search for some power spots to obtain energy," Sakaki explained.

That confused everyone… they never heard those words, after all. In any case, Sakaki gave them a long explanation, and Rain summarized things. Radiation refers to the emission of energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves. It can come from various sources, such as nuclear materials or the sun.

Exposure to ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, can damage or kill living cells by disrupting their structure or function. freewёbnoνel.com

Poisoning involves the introduction of a toxic substance into the body, which can lead to harmful effects. The toxic substance, or poison, may be ingested, inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or injected. Poisons can be chemicals, heavy metals, drugs, or other harmful agents.

"As for power spots… Many people believe that certain locations on Earth emanate a concentrated and positive spiritual energy. These spots are often considered sacred or holy, and individuals may visit them for spiritual purposes, such as meditation, prayer, or rituals," Sakaki said.

"Some interpretations of power spots involve natural energy fields or forces that are thought to have a positive impact on the well-being of individuals. This can include areas with strong electromagnetic fields, geological features, or specific natural elements."

"The first dragons used such places?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.

"Most likely, yes," Sakaki said. "I can identify those places, and their origins are many. Some are the starting points of forests, and others are the first villages of a nation that eventually turned into billions. Those places had a historical and spiritual value, that is why they had high concentrations of physical and spiritual energy."

"And you want to use them like our enemies?" Rain asked.

"We won't exhaust them like the enemies, but we can make use of them," Sakaki said. "You can see the result of the explosion of energy caused by a monster that drained all the energy of a power spot like that, and this planet isn't even that big… Imagine what we could do with a fraction of such a power."

That was an interesting idea, and they needed all the help they could get, after all. Still, that could cause some problems in the long run and make them eventually become the enemies that they wanted to destroy."

"We will talk about that later," Roan said after Annie whispered something. "It seems that those people are back."

The explosion probably damaged their hideout, so it was possible that the scorpion people had a few things to say about that. Still, after seeing the massive sandstorm weakening, they could tell that the enemies that threatened their world for decades were finally gone. They didn't know for how long that would be possible, but it was a peace that they looked thankful for it.

"They are thankful for us… even though the fight damaged a good part of their hideouts, they can rebuild them before the enemies come back," Isa said.

"Their thanks are fine and all, but we need things more physical," Roan said. "We need all the information that they have about these creatures… aside from that spot where the cargo disappeared, we will have to pretty much start from the beginning."

"I will see what I can do…" Isa said.

Isa started her communication with the scorpion people by utilizing a combination of sound magic and her dragon eyes. The sound magic allowed her to create audible vibrations in the air, forming a unique language that resonated with the scorpions' senses. Meanwhile, her dragon eyes emitted subtle visual cues, enhancing the conveyance of meaning.

While Isa maintained this overly complicated communication type, Sakaki diligently observed and analyzed the converging points in their exchange. He harnessed his abilities to create a database of this newfound language, noting patterns and correlations. As the conversation progressed, it became evident that the scorpion people were gradually opening up and sharing valuable information.

However, it became apparent that the scorpion people had limited technological offerings. Their physical anatomy, particularly their pincers for hands, restricted their ability to manipulate complex tools or devices. Despite this limitation, the information shared about their regenerative skills and resistance was still valuable to Rain and the group.

"Thank, this really saved our skin," Seadrei said and then gave back the armor and the shield. "This much power is truly something that we can use from now on, but it isn't that good because it would make everyone rely on a single figure to save their asses all the time."

"You think so? And I had finally decided to give the relics for Sealyn," Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Unless she is in danger and outmatched, I don't think that you should give her all the relics," Seadrei said.

Seadrei didn't explain why, but it was obvious the reason for it. Rain considered the implications of empowering Sealyn with the full set of relics. While the idea of enhancing her strength held appeal, he knew potential drawbacks.

If Sealyn were to gain such an immense boost in power all at once, there was a risk that people might become overly reliant on her abilities, diminishing the collective effort of the group. This over-reliance could lead to complacency and a lack of motivation for others to train and improve.

Additionally, Rain recognized the importance of maintaining a balance in personal growth. If Sealyn were to receive a sudden surge in power, there was a risk that she might not push herself as hard in training…
