Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 878: Breaking the limits of Limit Breaker

"That wasn’t a fight, that was you running for your life, retard," Rain said.

"If you want to find real strength to add to your own, you should find those eleven guys. Ten now considering that this woman is here."

Truth be told, Rain was planning to extract the memories and the powers of those guys since he didn’t trust them, but it looked like such a thing was only possible once they were fully awakened. That was a risk that he had to take since he still had no idea of the true potential of the Diligence Path.

"Since you did what I asked you, I can reveal how you can break the level cap of the skills of the system. It would be better if your magic power were a bit higher, but it should be possible with your current skills."

"I am not going to fall for that, you are obviously trying to get on my good side in order to try to fool me later on," Rain said. "You are full of shit."

"Whatever, you can think like that if you want. I am just making sure that you will be useful to me just like I am useful to you. As you have realized, the level cap of the skills represent how much power your body can take without becoming damaging. Still, your own level doesn’t have limitations. Why is that?"

"Because that is beneficial to the system and because the number of paths easily surpasses the amount of experience I can get to reach the level one hundred," Rain replied.

"You are correct, but there is another explanation for that. The reason for that the level one hundred has a limit for the skills and paths is because it is more efficient for the system. If you have one hundred skills but ten of them are better than the others, using ten of them is the best for you. But for the system, the more different sources of experience, the best.

At the same time, you will gain experience faster and grow stronger faster in some aspects if you keep using those skills and paths. All in all, the system wants its users to become as balanced as possible for the system to eventually decide what is the best option."

"You know all this and you still want to make me believe that you didn’t recover more memories?" Rain asked.

"So, in order to surpass the level of cap of skills and paths, you need two things, but you can pick one or the other, but the two things makes the process easier. One is to force the system to unlock the level cap by sacrificing enough of your mana, the other is by using some materials as catalysts."

Rain wasn’t taken aback when he heard about the possibility of unlocking the level cap through mana manipulation. His own experiments to push beyond the level cap by channeling mana directly into the system had proven unsuccessful in the past. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t generate enough mana to break through the limitations imposed by the system.

However, Rain found himself slightly surprised when he learned that catalysts could potentially aid in surpassing the level cap. His previous attempts focused solely on harnessing and utilizing his mana reserves, unaware that external catalysts might play a crucial role in this process.

This revelation introduced a new path for exploration and experimentation in his pursuit of overcoming the level cap restriction.

"I take it that they need to be related to the skills and paths, right?" Rain asked. "And I also can’t unlock all of them at once."

"Naturally."

Rain noticed the shield’s annoying habit to withhold certain information a long time ago, selectively sharing details that seemed to benefit his own agenda. There were gaps in the shield’s explanations, indicating deliberate omissions and the avoidance of topics that didn’t align with his interests. Despite the shield’s calculated silence on certain matters, Rain could see its underlying intentions.

It seemed the shield aimed to retain control and avoid revealing anything that might undermine its position.

Recognizing the shield’s strategy, Rain opted not to engage in a game of leverage or dependency. He saw the shield’s attempts to manipulate the situation and withhold information, but Rain chose not to grant the shield any upper hand or advantage in their interactions.

Instead, he decided to play along, allowing the shield to believe it held influence or control over certain aspects while actually maneuvering to maintain his own autonomy and authority.

By feigning a semblance of cooperation and leaving the shield under the impression that he might be influenced or affected by his tactics, Rain intended to lead the shield to dance according to his orchestrated moves.

This strategic approach granted Rain the upper hand in their exchanges, allowing him to navigate the situation with greater control and manipulation, all the while keeping the shield at a calculated distance. Read exclusive content at novelbuddy

"For a path like the berserker king, the best catalysts are relics that help you fight with your body. It is a pity that you lost them, but your forearm and shin guards could have unlocked the max level of several skills on that path. The dragon golem parts would only help you with the magic paths, but mainly the earth related ones."

"I suspected as much…" Rain said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Still, you can make your own relics now, but you will end up consuming a large amount of mana. You can still make some bracers with the scales of the dragons heads and decrease the cost of the mana used by fifty percent."

"I figured as much…" Rain said.

The dragons still didn’t notice what happened in that ancient city, and Rain didn’t find any traces of them flying around… that was the perfect chance for Rain to do that, but he was worried about something. If the shield knew that, then the dragons should know as well.
