In the end, Ryan wouldn't need much mana for the fight, thanks to Active Spiritual Recovery. So, he put the stamina potions nearby for them to be used faster. Thanks to the sunlight, Ryan's first shot managed to destroy half of a squad. However, he didn't stop there. He attacked several others before they could pinpoint his location. In the end, half of the entire skeletons' army marched toward him. Seeing that moving towards him like that, Ryan couldn't help but feel shivers. However, he didn't miss what happened before. The skeletons that stayed behind took position behind the first wave of enemies. If the first wave takes their time eliminating the foes, it was clear that the second wave would come to finish the job.
"Crap… I won't have time to repair my bow."
With every single shot, the bone bow lost ten points of durability. It couldn't be helped since Ryan was pouring all his mana and stamina in every single shot, but that was also troublesome. In the end, Ryan decided to forget about that and use something else when the time comes.
Before the bow's string finally broke, Ryan managed to slow down the skeleton's army for a few seconds, but eventually, they were upon him. Ryan dropped his bow and then equipped his twin long swords.
"Burn now, your motherfuckers, for making me waste so much time here," Ryan said, and then he used Fire Storm.
It was a pity to use so much mana in a skill he couldn't level up, but in the end, Ryan felt satisfied with the coins and the fact that he was destroying the skeletons' formation. His attack slowed down the skeletons even more, but just a little bit. At the end, when the archers and wizards began to attack, Alissa finally showed herself and opened her mouth.
A massive wave of flames spread around the area like wildfire. It was kind of surprising that Alissa could produce so many flames with her mouth. Ryan even had a hard time looking at her attack since it felt like it indeed there was a sea of flames in front of him.
Although the skeletons were caught off-guard, as expected, their formation helped them quite a bit. Most of the skeleton knights were decimated, but the archers and wizards managed to escape relatively unscathed. As much as Ryan wanted to block their path, his bow was broken, and Fire Storm had a limited range. To make most of the situation, Ryan helped Alissa decimate the skeleton knights.
When the flames dissipated, Ryan confirmed that the skeletons' army lost one-third of their forces just like that. Surprisingly enough, Alissa wasn't pale after using so much mana. Still, she decided to recharge her batteries just to make sure since the skeletons returned to the dungeon but didn't enter.
"They will show themselves now, don't lower your guard."
Although Orgar said that Ryan didn't see anyone leaving the dungeon, most likely, they will only show themselves once Alissa and Ryan approach or attack again. Although Alissa could attack from the same distance as Ryan, she couldn't because she didn't have the right weapons. Using spells seemed like the best second option, but from so far away, the effectiveness of magic attacks will decrease greatly… in the end, the best option was to get indeed closer.
"I used all my potions, so I guess we will have to accept their challenge," Ryan said.
