Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 931 : A way to fight back

Rain's understanding of the dragons' nature had always highlighted their ruthless predisposition, yet he had never expected them to resort to outright killing among their own kind. Typically, dragons allowed their offspring to mature in the wild, where they could harness power rapidly through survival challenges and experiences.

This method ensured the growth and evolution of the strongest individuals, a practice Rain was aware of.

However, Rain had never come across any accounts or information suggesting that dragons engaged in lethal combat within their own ranks. The revelation of dragons turning on each other and actively causing harm was entirely unexpected and contradictory to what he knew of their customs and practices.

What made this situation even more perplexing was that the ones responsible for these killings seemed to be gaining an immense amount of power simultaneously. This conflicted with the traditional approach of allowing their offspring to naturally develop strength through the trials of the wild.

The sudden, unprecedented escalation in power coupled with the aggressive actions within the dragon society left Rain puzzled and deeply concerned about the implications of these new developments.

"They are using the bodies of the fallen dragons to break the limits of their skills and paths…" Rain said. "Well, that is the dragons for you. A bunch of power hungry monsters with no morals and corrupted by their sins."

"They must be killing those who they deem a failure for letting the humans win several battles against them," The woman in the darkness said. "They will pass this event to the next situation to make them understand that this kind of failure is punished by death."

"That is fine and all, but I am more interested in learning where they came from and what their current goal is," Rain said.

"Perhaps they came from Uranus, hahaha," Nigel said. "Welcome to our draconic interplanetary flying services. It won't be comfortable, but you can reach all the planets of the milky way."

While that was a joke, no one said anything about that since they couldn't discard that idea. Dragons could live for thousands of years. What would they do on Earth when they were too strong for all the people there, fight each other?

There was also the possibility that they found traces of the old civilization and realized that the world was destroyed before and they had ties with the beasts that destroyed Earth. With that in mind, it wouldn't be weird for them to seek life outside of the world.

"I guess the only problem would be time and food for them," Rain thought. "Dragons can't fly at light speed, but even while flying at mach one, they could reach Mars, if it still existed in two weeks. One month to reach Saturn… I am good at math, but too lazy to do the Numbers to make them reach Uranus at that speed."

Space exploration… that was something that didn't make sense at all considering the life of someone who was reincarnated into a fantasy world like Rain. Still, there was no point in trying to find logic in a world like that.

Rain maintained his vigilant watch over the newly arrived dragons, observing their activities. As he continued observing, he witnessed a startling event: the floating mountains within their territory suddenly began to fall, causing widespread destruction and sending clouds of dust spreading into the air.

The impact of the falling mountains generated chaos and havoc within the dragon's domain, briefly unsettling the area.

However, to Rain's surprise, the upheaval was swiftly resolved. The chaos seemed to settle almost as quickly as it had arisen, leaving behind a scene of apparent calmness. After this event, the newly arrived dragons remained inactive, seemingly unfazed by the disturbance they had caused.

Instead of initiating further destruction, these dragons collectively shifted their positions, moving en masse toward the center of their country. This coordinated movement piqued Rain's curiosity, forcing him to continue observing from his vantage point to discern the purpose or motives behind this unexpected migration.

"I guess they will confirm the results of their work and then decide their next steps," Rain thought.

"By the way, for how long are you going to stay here?" Larisa asked. "You might not have realized this, but seven days passed already."

"I am aware of it, but once again, I can't make the first move…" Rain replied.

Inside Rain's mental landscape, those present were astonished by his incredible ability to survive independently using his magic alone. Rain had honed his skills to the point where generating nutrients was a manageable task for him. However, while this method sustained his physical needs, the produced sustenance lacked the taste and complete fulfillment of a regular meal.

Despite this, Rain found it worthwhile to test and fortify his willpower by living on this magically produced sustenance.

"The dragons territory is too damn big… even those fuckers need a ton of time to move around," Rain thought.

In any case, eventually… all the dragons that had arrived reunited in the middle of the country. Rain was having a hard time seeing them now because the clouds in their territory were starting to cover the whole place.a

"They don't seem to be in a hurry, but the waters close to the continent are freezing and eventually will reach that area," Larisa said. "This is only the power of those ten ice dragons and if those twenty join them… maybe in a month they can freeze the whole world."

That was really a troublesome situation… Rain couldn't attack them without risking being revealed and he had a countdown now as well.

After thinking for a short while, Rain had some ideas… perhaps he could fight ice with fire and try to increase the temperature of the world to balance things out a bit, but messing with the climate of the whole world was kind of dangerous. Maybe using fire magic was a bit too much, but increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere could delay the ice dragons a bit more.
