Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 879: True friendship

When Rain asked about the information regarding the dragons’ method of surpassing level caps, he found that the shield didn’t try to hide that knowledge. However, it was a secret known by the dragons themselves. The dragons’ god had limited the spread of this information, making sure that it remained confined within their community.

Naturally, the dragon gods were aware of this method, but it was kept as an exclusive secret shared only among themselves.

The reasoning behind this secrecy was obvious. The method involved using their own bodies as catalysts to break through level caps. Dragons knew their bodies were the prime materials necessary for such a task. However, if this knowledge became widespread among them, it could lead to catastrophic consequences.

The idea that dragons might resort to killing each other to extinction in pursuit of breaking level caps was a concern. Hence, the dragon god maintained this as a closely guarded secret among the dragon community, preventing such dire consequences.

"It would have made my job a lot easier if they just tried to kill themselves," Rain said while he was recovering the scales on the dragon golems heads. "Although I find it hard to believe that they would try that since they are the bitches of the dragon god, he has thousands of years ahead of them in terms of experience."

"You do understand. That is probably why he has nine heads, and he probably mastered even more skills thanks to that method than we can ever count, and his body adapted to hold all that power."

That was a worrisome thought… Rain had planned to evolve, but not to the point that he would become a beast. In any case, it seemed that eventually, the skills would reach another level cap… Rain wondered how many times he would be able to do that same process.

Maybe until level one hundred… once it reaches that point, limit Breaker will be useful enough to make most of his current parameters ten times more powerful.

In any case, much to Rain’s disappointment, the scales of the dragons returned to normal after a while. They weren’t made of diamond anymore, but they were hard enough, and Rain wanted to keep a bunch of them to unlock the level cap of several skills of the Berserker King path.

Level 1: Limit Breaker (MAX) - Unleash a powerful your inner fury to increase your physical parameters to the limits. + 100 to all physical parameters per level at the cost of fifty points of stamina per second.

Level 5: Bloodthirst Anger (55)- Your attacks now have a chance to trigger Bloodthirst Surge, a burst of health regeneration that keeps you going in the heat of battle. Increases your health regeneration by five percent per level while fighting. Read new chapters at novelbuddy

Level 10: Warpath (69)- Enter a state of Warpath, enhancing your strength, dexterity, and vitality by ten points per level, turning you into an unstoppable force for thirty seconds at the cost of five thousand points of stamina.

Level 20: Devastating Strikes (44)- Hone your striking technique with Devastating Strikes, enabling you to land critical blows that deal extra damage and increase your critical hit damage.

"These four would be good for a start… I can’t use more of them at the same time when I also need to level up Apex Furty," Rain thought.

Rain could only carry so much stuff with him, so he didn’t get all the materials of the dragon golems. He decided to do that later. Once he was done with collecting the materials, Rain put a pile of the scales on his lap and then began to meditate.

The shield explained that the process to unlock the level cap was relatively straightforward. Rain needed to utilize his mana as usual, but this time, he was directed towards the catalysts while having the skills he wanted to unlock equipped. The system would recognize and acknowledge the materials as catalysts, subsequently unlocking the skills that had the highest levels.

It seemed like a simple procedure based on the system’s acceptance of the provided materials.

Rain decided to give it a try, and the outcome was swift. As he channeled his mana into the catalysts while the respective skills were equipped, there was a noticeable drain on all of his mana reserves. The scales that served as the catalysts underwent a transformation; they turned into dust, dissipating after their usage.

Rain observed this transformation, acknowledging that the scales he had used for the unlocking process had been completely consumed in the procedure. At the same time, he felt the energy coursing through him… the power that was once once in the scales was his now, but without the corruption.

Level 1: Limit Breaker (100) - Unleash a powerful your inner fury to increase your physical parameters to the limits. + 100 to all physical parameters per level at the cost of fifty points of stamina per second.

"I thought that the skill would gain all the experience gained after reaching the max level…" Rain said while furrowing his eyebrows.

"It belongs to the system now, all that experience. That is another reason why the limits exist. The experience that the system obtains from those kinds of skills are more valuable, so it receives way sooner than the others."

Rain had his stamina full to test the result and soon he spent half of it to achieve his goal. It was a bit too much, but it was within his expectations.

The skill Limit Breaker leveled up.

The Diligence path received 1010 experience points.

"Now, you trust me that I am your ally?"

"I trust you completely since we are such good friends. Let me borrow from you ten grand," Rain said. "If you are truly a friend, you will lend me that money. If you don’t do that, our friendship is over."

"And you think that I am the one here who is trying to fool someone."

Rain decided to move and look for another place to investigate, but much to his surprise… the other scales turned into dust as well, and he felt another presence inside him waking up.
