Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 875: Void

Rain moved through the massive structure, navigating through a colossal spiraling staircase that wound its way up and down within the interior of the Tower. The steps, vast and sturdy, were designed to accommodate even the colossal frames of the dragon golems, indicating the scale of the structure’s construction.

The Tower stretched upward and downward, its immense architecture cloaked in darkness that hid the details of its interior. Rain wanted some illumination and conjured a fireball that moved beside him, casting an ambient glow to illuminate the surrounding darkness.

With each step, Rain ascended higher, making his way methodically towards the uppermost points of the Tower. As he reached the apex, expecting a significant discovery, he found the space empty, devoid of any notable objects or signs of significance. The top of the Tower appeared desolate, offering no clues or artifacts that could provide insight into its purpose or history.

"I did well in not trying to invade the Tower from above… that wouldn’t have changed a single thing," Rain thought.

Rain decided to stop flying and then began to fall alongside his Fireball. Much to his surprise, the fall lasted for quite a while… he actually crossed more than twenty-five kilometers in the fall, so the tower actually pierced the barrier pretty deep, but Rain also could see that the bottom was incomplete.

The pillars that supported the tower and even the stairs went deeper on the floor and the floor itself was uneven.

Rain looked around in search of the relic that the shield mentioned, but he couldn’t see anything. He imagined that he would find another weird dark box that kept the relic sealed, but he didn’t see that.

Rain checked the floor, but there was too much mana in there for him to sense anything more than a few meters deep. In the end, Rain decided to check the pillars and he found something odd on the central pillar… There was a large concentration of mana on the pillar itself, but there was a void in it as well.

"I knew that it wouldn’t be easy…" Rain thought and then sighed. "Come to think of it, I also didn’t sense any mana in the dark box that had the relics of the shield and armor."

After thinking for a short while, Rain decided to move the part of the pillar that had the void and created another layer at the same time to take its place. Rain took his time since he didn’t want to mess up.

He couldn’t afford to let the tower bury him alive and he couldn’t let it fall anytime soon as well, that would reveal that someone invaded the place and the dragons would do their research… Naturally, Rian would be their primary suspect since he did something like that before.

While dust fell from the pillar like rain, Rain focused on the task and after half an hour, the whole block had been removed and the one that Rain put in its place seemed completely fine.

"It seems that they had planned to keep digging deeper… but they stopped at some point and that was quite a while ago, " Rain thought.

Rain decided to set to work, methodically clearing away the accumulated dirt and debris that covered the void within the block. With precise effort, he gradually revealed a second immense dark cube hidden beneath the layers of earth and filth.

As Rain meticulously cleaned the surface of the dark cube, he took the opportunity to study its features as well. The massive structure before him, its darkened surface emanating a weird and surprising aura that seemed to hint at untold mysteries concealed within.

Intrigued by its presence and unable to resist the temptation to explore further, Rain reached out, his hand making contact with the smooth surface of the dark cube. It made him feel all kinds of things… Continue your journey with novelbuddy

"I can’t say that I have seen all the metals in the world, much less touching them… but this doesn’t feel like something from Earth," Rain thought.

It was the aliens… Rain wanted to avoid that kind of way of thinking since it seemed too lazy to assume that. At the same time, Rain couldn’t think of any other explanation… If aliens were truly part of the equation, then that would explain a bit why the dragon god was in Saturn… he didn’t have any real enemies on Earth, so he was expecting enemies from outside… perhaps returning.

When Rain finished cleaning the whole thing, he found a pair of gloves at the top of the dark cube, stuck on it as well.

Rain’s touch triggered a transformation in the titanium gloves he encountered on the dark cube. Initially appearing small and offering limited finger protection, they suddenly emitted a soft, luminous brown glow when Rain touched it… Rain could almost feel the presence inside.

As he touched the gloves, an inexplicable surge of energy coursed through him, intensifying the aura of power emanating from them. Despite their seemingly modest appearance, they now exuded an overwhelming sense of power, hinting at latent abilities waiting to be unleashed.

The brown hue intensified, pulsating with newfound strength and potential, leaving Rain in awe of the mysterious enhancement the gloves underwent upon his touch.

"Do I have to punch this thing as well with all my might?" Rain thought while scratching his head. "I don’t want to make this place fall apart… come to think of it, where I will hide this massive block? I can’t take it with me around and I can’t hide anywhere."

That was probably something that the dragons created to make it near impossible to people to get the relics, it would have been pretty useful if they had put some defense mechanisms like curses to make it harder to pull out the relics.

Regardless, Rain grabbed the gloves and then tried to pull them out with all his might… if impacts before worked to pull out the shield and the spear, that should be possible as well.
