Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1036: Splitting up

Although they had ten exploration suits already, they required certain skills since they didn't came equipped with life support systems. It would require too much time to create all that, so they created the support systems with magic… those inside the suits would use their mana to move the suits as they wished and also breath the air.

That was a bit dangerous because the suit also had a function to exhale air from behind to grant them some extra movement speed and also get rid of the carbon that the people expels when they breath. That also had to be done regularly. As such, the best magic users were going with Rain. They were Sealyn, Seadrei, Isa, Terra and Seara.

"I thought that you woul refuse to come," Rain said.

"I want to help as much as anyone," Isa shrugged. "I have some things to think about, but that won't slow me down."

Isa already showed some signs that she could create a domain as well, but she was still wearing the exploration suit just in case. The downside was the fact that she couldn't use her best skills like that.

Regardless, Esmeralda looked a bit bothered that she couldn't come this time… she had trained with the suit a lot, but she wasn't entirely comfortable with it yet. So, she just silently watched as the group left the Star vessel toward Uranus.

"Testing the communication relics with all the users," Liss said while she was using six communication relics at the same. "I swear… I will find a way to connect all the devices to each other…"

"You have to wait for our answer instead of saying anything," Rain said while he was holding his own communication device.

All of the exploration suits were equipped with internal communication relics to facilitate coordination and information exchange among the team members. However, Liss found it bothersome to manage multiple devices simultaneously. Despite weeks of effort, she hadn't yet succeeded in creating a seamless network that connected all the devices like a magic cellphone.

"I'm determined to figure this out," Liss mumbled to herself, a slight frown on her face. "It would make communication much smoother and save me from juggling multiple relics."

She continued working on her project, determined to find a solution that would streamline communication and enhance the efficiency of the exploration teams. For now, the explorers relied on their individual communication devices, relaying information back to the Star vessel as they ventured closer to Uranus.

Meanwhile, the group led by Rain and the others approached the gas giant cautiously. The suits protected them from the harsh environment, and they moved through the thick clouds that covered Uranus, limiting visibility to a short distance.

Still, it didn't take long for everyone to cross the frozen clouds by essentially punching them and see what was beyond them… Rain wasn't the type to show much surprise in his face. Even more after talking and meeting with Sakaki and the overseer, but he blinked several times when he saw that…

A vast continent of ice sprawled beneath them. It wasn't a haphazard collection of massive icebergs but rather an intricately crafted ice sculpture resembling a colossal city-continent. The structures were immense, constructed with a purpose that transcended mere aesthetics.

The city-continent, tailored for the ice dragons by the ice dragons, displayed a unique grandeur. Despite their ability to fly, the dragons had designed roads and simple buildings that primarily served as support structures for their nests.

Everything within this frozen realm carried an air of majesty, with colossal towers dotting the landscape, reminiscent of the Tower of earth in the ancient city of the golem dragons.

Rain's eyes widened, and he blinked several times as the realization sank in. The scale and design of this ice dragon city were unlike anything he had encountered before. It was both awe-inspiring and humbling, a testament to the might and artistry of the beings who once inhabited this frozen domain.

"They sure are showing off…" Rain said.

"What did you guys found?" Esmeralda asked, eager to imagine what could be found there.

"A large block of ice made of mana, I will absorb all of it," Rain replied.

"We should investigate this thoroughly before anything," Seadrei said. "Who know what they might have left behind in a hurry. Perhaps some eggs."

"I agree, we don't have to be in a hurry," Sealyn added.

"This might be the last time we will have such a chance," Isa said.

Terra and Seara didn't say anything since they didn't want to hurt Rain's pride. He was thankful for their consideration, but he didn't want them treat him like he was made of glass. At least they got his back… even though they also agreed with others.

"All right, then," Rain said.

The group approached the colossal city and soon they finally could tell when ants see human cities for the first time… They felt truly like ants. It didn't take long for Rain to feel his boots freezing when he landed… as expected, he couldn't touch the ice. At the same time, the air immediately froze when it left the suits of the group. They had to be cautious there…

"Magic Eyes are essentially useless here since everything is made of mana," Rain said. "We will have to split and search for anything. Keep communications active at all times and always inform your movements to Liss."

"Roger, I will take South, Rain will take North, Isa will take SouthWest, Seadrei will take NorthWest, Seara will take SouthEast, and Terra will take Northeast," Sealyn said. "Any objections or ideas?"

Rain had an objection… he really felt creeped out being called by his name by his daughter… at least she didn't use his full name, but at that point in time. Few people knew his full name. Nevertheless, Sealyn truly wanted to keep personal matters away from work… her work ethic was exemplar if anything and praiseworth as well.
