NOVEL NEXT Chapter 415: Are you ready now?
When the enemies began to march in his direction, Rain at first assumed that the enemies were using fewer soldiers in that direction because the path was tighter there… but soon he found some individuals with weird auras leading them… all kinds of auras and none of them were similar to the ones he faced before.
"I am starting to dislike surprises," Rain thought.
If they focus on him, it will be fine… but the magic people around him won't have the experience to deal with them. At the same time, those guys, at the very least, will have equipment that will be highly resistant to magic… so only a handful of people could actually damage them. Explore stories on m,v l'e-m|p,yr
"You guys can fight freely," Rain said while looking at the soldiers around him. "I will be too busy dealing with those guys to pay attention to the battlefield. However, you shouldn't chase them too far or pass the location I will be. Also, don't get too close, or you will get hurt."
The soldiers at least nodded in response, and Terra also began to focus on the task ahead… Her main goal was to keep Rain alive, but she also had to avoid as many casualties on their side. It was the only way for them to actually gain some time or to win that battle.
The squads of the magic people began to work independently and for starters, the heat sorcerers stepped forward and began to summon their fire tornadoes.
The fire tornadoes conjured by the heat sorcerers showed a formidable display of elemental might. In the harsh noon sunlight, they blazed with an intensity that made the very air quiver with heat. As they twisted and swirled across the battlefield, they left behind a mighty sight of devastation.
These tornadoes roared with an unearthly rage, their flames extending greedily to consume all in their path. The heat they emitted was so searing that it almost felt tangible, causing the ground to sizzle and emit smoke as they passed over it. The air itself shimmered with their scorching presence, making it a challenge for those nearby to breathe.
Dozens of the fire tornadoes moved toward the human army, but that didn't stop or slow down their advance… all of a sudden, one of the special soldiers used their magic to make some fire tornadoes stop spinning and then the flames dissipated.
Another soldier just controlled the ground and made earth walls emerge and completely destroyed some other fire tornadoes… in no time, the spells were canceled one after the other.
Only a handful of them reached the human army, but soon, they began to decrease in size when they came in contact with the shields of the human army. It took a short while, so their defense against magic wasn't perfect.
"Will those dispel Magic Boost if they touch us?" Terra asked.
"You should bet on it," Rain said. "Focus on defense if you have to, and by defense, I mean dodging."
"I would be thankful if you didn't treat me like I am made of glass," Terra said.
"Anyway, I am going, we can't afford to let them decide where the fight will take place," Rain said.
Terra nodded, and then Rain used Impulse toward the enemies. At the same time, the human army stopped their march, and their captains retreated… Rain could attack them by jumping just like he did it before, but he wanted to understand a bit more how Joanis think, so he decided not to do that.
The magic people soon followed him, and then the battlefield was engulfed in chaos with many people shouting.
"They aren't half assed soldiers like the ones who tried to invade our territory… I can't hold back against them," Rain thought.
Rain used Limit Breaker, Magic Boost and Impulse.
In the next moment, he charged and collided against dozens of soldiers and made them fly in several directions… some of their spears cut him and nullified the effects of Magic Boost, but their damage was minimal… in the end, Rain stopped in the middle of their army when he found the first target… It was the guy who used earth walls to dissipate some fire tornadoes.
His appearance was completely concealed since he was using a full plate armor and a helmet, but Rain could see in his eyes that he didn't run out of fear.

"Are you ready now?" Rain asked. "Or should I try again later?"
Rain's attempt to taunt the enemy went without results, leaving him with a sense of annoyance. While he was no stranger to taunts and provocations, he couldn't help but feel frustrated by the soldiers' seemingly lifeless responses. It left him wondering whether it would be better if they had their own thoughts and reactions, even if it meant more challenges on the battlefield.
The absence of any response from the enemy only added to the eerie atmosphere of the confrontation.
All of a sudden, several earth spikes emerged from the ground and almost impaled Rain, but he blocked them with his shin Guards and cracked them as well. The enemy didn't make any clear signs that he was about to use magic, so that showed that he was good…
Rain looked around and found some people ready to throw their spears at him, but he didn't find any of the other special soldiers… were they just planning to watch to report what they learned? That seemed the only explanation… surprising Rain with magic would be hard with his focus.
When the enemy sensed some danger when Rain lowered his stance, he quickly grabbed some knives and assumed his fighting stance as well… it was a weird combination, a fully armored warrior with a pair of knives in his hands… However, Rain knew that he came prepared with those for some reason…
