Ryan tried to touch several spears in order to recover so mana, but in the end, he only managed to touch five. Despite that, in just a second, he recovered one thousand points of mana.
Instead of getting excited, Ryan used Telepathy and began to use INT potions like there was no tomorrow. At that point in ti, everything aside from using Draconic Transformation was allowed.
"Screw it," Ryan thought. "You will regret picking a fight with ."
"But you were the one who started the fight," Femradiel said.
Much to Ryan's surprise, the Hydra didn't try to dive even more profound than it already was. That was strange since the monster was smart enough to understand why Ryan used Teleport on himself and on the Hydra. Still, then he considered the possibility that the creature had to stay relatively close to the surface to control Sea Storm.
When Ryan's INT potions had all been used, he decided to go all out. First of all, he teleported himself and the creature back to the storm above the ocean. Imdiately, both of them were caught in the air and spinning like crazy due to the whirlwinds, but Ryan didn't let that stop him. Now that the water-resistance was completely gone, Ryan used Telepathy on all spears inside the Hydra's mouth and made them pierce the monster's flesh even further.
The monster trembled since it had beco unable to scream due to the strong winds, but Ryan didn't stop there. He continued to make the spears pierce until, much to his surprise and shock, the Hydra was hit by several lightning bolts in a quick succession. Ryan received considerable damage as well since the insides of the monster had the spears, and he was touching several of them. Still, he escaped from passing out thanks to Femradiel, who used Full-Heal.
You obtained 750.000 coins.
In the end, the Hydra was killed, the Sea Storm spell was canceled, and both Ryan and the corpse began to fall toward the ocean again. Ryan was worried about the reason why several lightning bolts conveniently hit the Hydra. Still, in the end, he couldn't stay in the area and ponder about it. He used Teleport, and then after a couple of minutes, he was back to his domain.
"It looks like the cost of teleporting corpses is surprisingly low" Ryan said. "Anyway, Femradiel. Do you have any idea what happened?"
"No clue," Femradiel replied. "But I am one hundred percent sure that it wasn't by coincidence. Soone tried to take you out by sacrificing that Hydra as well."
At that point in ti, it was impossible not to recognize the fact that such a creature was a boss monster. Just the thought that hundreds if not thousands of those were swimming across the oceans and hunting other monsters to beco stronger was enough to make Ryan depressed. Although he didn't pay attention to Femradiel's warnings, at the very least, Ryan had to recognize the fact that he wasn't powerful enough to win against such a beast in a one-on-one fight. After all, he didn't fight like he usually fights.
"What is the plan now, Ryan?" Femradiel asked.
"I am not quite sure" Ryan replied. "It annoys to admit it, but I can't hunt the Hydras. At so point, I am bound to run against a group of them, and surviving such a fight is probably impossible. Winning then was just an impossible dream"
"Did you eat sothing weird?" Femradiel asked. "It is kind of strange to hear you admit your weaknesses like that."
Ryan sighed to think that Femradiel could make such a comnt at that ti. It looked like she had already been corrupted by Ryan's sarcasm. Regardless, it has been a while, but Ryan found another enemy that he couldn't win against. The last ti such a thing happened was probably when he faced the demons. Although he couldn't imagine himself winning in a severe fight against Yahiko and Alissa, they weren't enemies.
"For the ti being, I need to go beco stronger as fast as possible and then try to hunt so of these fuckers again," Ryan said and then kicked the Hydra's corpse. "The only way I know to do that is by clearing dungeons and leveling up my classes that are at a low-level."
Ryan's archery classes would help him more to improve his main fighting style, but against monsters such as Hydra, just using a bow or crossbow and then try to keep his distance from them was impossible or maybe not. After checking his skill list, Ryan found a skill that he had neglected until now that could help him with that. It was Evading Shot. Attacking while using that skill and Ryan's most powerful crossbows would consu a lot of mana, but he didn't have much of choice. To increase his attack speed and firepower output, so problems have to be accepted.
"You can return to your own training, Femradiel," Ryan said. "Speaking of which, it is almost the ti you ntioned, right? For the familiars to beco as strong as your previous self."
"Yeah, but why stop now when they can beco even stronger?" Femradiel asked. "You are so stubborn that you refuse to use Draconic Transformation, so I can't see you using them anyti soon. I should just let them keep training until the real fight begins."
"If you say so," Ryan shrugged.
"In any case, now I have to create a body that will be more useful in underwater battles," Femradiel said. "I suppose that one will cost less mana to create than the Tyrant form."
While Femradiel was mumbling to herself, Ryan looked for the nearest dungeon that he hadn't been cleared yet. This ti he wouldn't ss up, he had already discovered several thods to keep improving, and Ryan just had to find the perfect balance between them.
"That will be difficult, but in the end, I reached a point where I can't choose the way to beco strong," Ryan said to himself. "I have to use them all."
