Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Healer\'s Path Lv 50: Mage\'s Path. Intelligence, Wisdom and Dexterity + 03 per level up)

The Mage\'s Path follows a journey of magical growth and mastery over the elements. As aspiring mages progress along this path, they learn to harness the powers of fire, ice, wind, and water, becoming adept in the art of elemental magic. The path emphasizes balance and understanding of the natural forces, teaching mages to respect and wield the elements responsibly.

Level 1: Fireball - Cast a basic fireball spell dealing moderate damage to a single target. Cost: 10 Mana

Level 50: Revitalizing Wind - Acquires the ability to heal allies from a distance.

"Mage\'s Path? I thought that I would unlock a new healer path or something…" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.

Maybe unlocking a new Healer\'s path could only be done after reaching level one hundred. In any case, Rain finally learned the skill that Terra could use to heal from a distance. He also learned the spell that Branden learned when he was five… it was hard to imagine that he unlocked a tier three path at that age, though.

"I guess I should change the path now… I don\'t want to specialize in healing skills; I want to focus on increasing my parameters," Rain thought.

Still, Rain wasn\'t completely certain of that. Healing skills in a world like that were invaluable… he didn\'t forget that his father lost a limb and recovered it thanks to healing magic. It would be nice if Rain could reach that level.

"In the end, even if I change the path, I can only put the main skills of that same path… changing now would make things difficult to level up," Rain thought. "Let\'s just level up the skills and the path until it reaches level twenty-five."

Rain also thought that the mage\'s path would be at a higher level since he meditated a lot. However, it looked like it wasn\'t part of that path, and he didn\'t use any skill in it. Still, it was fine. He will have time to level it up… or so Rain thought.

The next few weeks passed without any issues, but then all of a sudden, Rain noticed that a lot of wounded people suddenly began to come to the capital, and some were even being carried in wagons.

It didn\'t take long for Rain to hear that the magic people were attacking the human camp that was keeping an eye on Tristan… they were using monsters and long-range attacks, so they didn\'t lose a single soldier, and they caused a lot of damage. On the next day that began to happen, Rain imagined that he would find some work related to that.

However, he didn\'t… still, some people in the organization were leaving the capital like they were ready to fight in that area.

"Why?" Jori suddenly raised his voice and asked.

It was pretty early in the morning, but Jori was making a fuss already. Rain saw a troubled Karla in front of him, so he could guess what was happening.

"I told you… we only received requests for some parties to go and help; there is nothing we can do about that," Karla explained. "The army still has things under control."

Just as Rain had suspected, Jori was complaining that he couldn\'t face the enemies. In his mind, they showed that they could do that, but facing monsters while the enemies were covering for them was different than facing monsters alone.

Putting that aside, Rain noticed that Asche and Terra weren\'t around… Rain recalled that a lot of wounded were being taken to the Church since they provided that kind of service of healing, so they must be busy.

"The Church needs some help looking after the wounded, so I am giving that job to you all since this is an emergency," Karla said and then noticed that Rain was nearby. "Rain, you can use healing magic, right? It seems that Terra asked for your help."

"I can, but…" Rain said while furrowing his eyebrows. "I guess I will go."

Actually, neither of them had a choice. In normal times, they could choose any world to do, but in emergencies, Karla could give the jobs to the members as she sees fit. To avoid giving Jori more reason to complain, he decided to accept the job.

"I didn\'t know that we have so few healers," Rain said.

"Really effective Healers are hard to find, and most of them have been hired by people across the kingdom; some of them are in the frontline, but they are overwhelmed thanks to the recent attacks," Karla said. "Regardless, you need to head to the Church as soon as possible."

Rain nodded. The job was relatively easy, and he would be able to train his magic; he also would get ten copper coins per healed person as long as they were able to stand after that, so it was fine. Jori, Liss, and Reca also followed Rain since they had to work there.

"Can\'t you use healing magic as well?" Rain asked.

"I can, but it isn\'t at a high level," Liss replied.

"It seems that we won\'t be able to do anything until the enemies begin to gain some ground again," Reca said while she was walking with her hands on the back of her head.

"What are the higher-ups doing…" Jori said while clenching his teeth.

"They are trying to save face; they can\'t ask for help from us so soon; it would make them look weaker and make people think that we are in a bind," Rain explained. "The organization gained some popularity recently, but it seems that it wasn\'t enough to give Branden have the chance to deploy us that fast. If we perform well, his influence will grow, and that will bother a lot of people."
