Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 930 : Ready?
Rain's initial shock and bewilderment at the sight of the demolished city highlighted the severity of the situation. The level of destruction indicated a forceful impact or an event of tremendous power that had occurred not too long ago.
With that in mind, he began to search for traces of the creature that had landed there… Rain soon found some massive footsteps ahead, but they were moving further West. That was a weird direction for them to move if their goal was indeed to kill all the enemies of the dragons.
"I guess they truly aren't here to help the dragons, but it is weird… the ice dragons should have realized what they were doing," Larisa said.
"Maybe after losing the last battle, some of them decided to dispose of the weaklings and get the other relics that they are guarding before those also fall into our hands," Nigel said. "The dragons fear us, perhaps even these unknown ones as well."
Nigel's insights into the potential motivations behind the dragons' actions initiated a change in perception among Rain and his companions. His suggestion that the dragons might be more complex in their strategies and objectives than initially assumed urged everyone to reconsider their understanding of the dragons' intentions.
The notion that some factions within the dragons society might prioritize self-preservation, even at the cost of disposing of weaker entities and securing relics, hinted at the existence of a hierarchy among these mythical creatures.
This newfound understanding revealed that the dragon god, though a dominant figure among the dragons, might not necessarily dictate the actions of every dragon. It hinted at internal dynamics and power structures within the dragon society, possibly indicating different factions or groups among them with their own goals and agendas.
However, despite these realizations, Rain encountered difficulty in his pursuit of the dragon responsible for the destruction of the ancient city. The creature moved quite fast, escaping his attempts to track it using his Water Lens technique. Its speed surpassed Rain's ability to find its movements, leaving him unable to catch up and accurately predict its trajectory.

"There are a lot more dragons out there, and they don't have to be only on this planet," The woman in the darkness said. "That is exactly what I wanted."
"That is not exactly what I wanted. I want to have a life," Rain said. "Seems like the universe didn't get my memo requesting a peaceful, dragon-free life. How inconsiderate,"
Rain knew that life was a constant fight, but that was starting to get ridiculous. In any case, Rain couldn't make any big move now, and he had to keep an eye on things from a better position… so he went to space to check the dragons territory and see the changes from there.
Despite the increased power of the snowstorm brought about by the ice dragons, the situation within their territory remained somewhat the same. However, the clouds started to extend further, expanding beyond their usual limits.
This expansion signified a new shift, indicating that the ice dragons were escalating their efforts to spread the cold across the world… even on the territory that once belonged to all dragons.
It became increasingly evident that the ice dragons were solely concerned with their own goals and survival, disregarding the potential consequences for the rest of the world. Moreover, the arrival of the new dragons seemed to align with this agenda, showing no signs of intervening to prevent the freezing of the entire planet.
This disregard for the well-being of other creatures and their single-minded focus on perpetuating the snowstorm emphasized the direness of the situation. It became clear that the ice dragons and their newfound reinforcements were poised to bring about an indiscriminate and widespread freeze, regardless of the collateral damage it might inflict.
"Soon, you won't be able to see things from here… and you can't even find those guys," Larisa said. "Even if they were one hundred meters tall, they are smaller than dust from this distance."
"I can see them," Rain said while showing a serious expression.
"Right… your magic eyes," Larisa said after nodding. "Their magic powers should be off the charts since they are even ignoring the ten thousand years old ice dragons."
Rain's observation of the distant auras revealed a formidable and intimidating presence that shared similarities with the aura emitted by the ice dragons. However, there were distinct differences that set it apart: this aura exuded a heightened level of power and dangerous intensity.
Despite its strength, there was an unsettling aspect to it, a lack of equilibrium or stability that seemed to be across its essence.
The familiarity of the aura resembling that of the ice dragons was undeniable, yet it carried an amplified more ominous quality. It appeared to possess a raw, unrefined energy, lacking the balanced composure that characterized the aura of the ice dragons.
This instability or imbalance within the aura hinted at a potentially unpredictable and chaotic force, raising concerns about its potential impact and behavior.
"This isn't normal… maybe they got strong enough to the point that even their bodies can't withstand that much power," Rain said. "I thought that the system would balance things out… but if they aren't a part of the system, it is natural that things would become like this."
Rain wanted to see the enemies… but he knew if he got closer, he would be found… the only thing that he could do was just watch and hope that those guys wouldn't pick a fight with his friends. There was no chance of winning… it was like a fight between a newborn baby and an adult… it couldn't even be called a fight or something like that.
"Are you ready to use the sword yet?" The woman in the darkness asked. "You will gain power faster than anything by using it."
Rain sighed… he didn't want it, but he might have to. In the end, Rain watched the movements of the twenty new dragons that had arrived in the world, and they soon targeted the floating islands of the wind dragons and killed the few ones there…
