No other way

Everyone was surprised that Rain wanted to retreat so soon, but perhaps it was for the best… they all needed some time to recover and cool down their heads. But soon, they realized that he was planning something else. 

"Terra, Asche, and Liss should use the Coral Spear and try to use the ocean water to create a barrier in the meantime… we need to buy some time. Even a few seconds will do it," Rain said.

In the end, only Branden wasn't told anything to do… Rain probably wanted to talk with him alone, but they didn't know what it was. Still, they knew that they had to do those things.

"... What do you have in mind?" Branden asked when he approached.

"I think that I know how to be able to recover my magic, but it won't be pleasant and I might die," Rain said. "You will have to suffer a bit as well."
