It was obvious, but Alissa and Ryan couldn't just walk in a straight line toward the skeletons' army. So, at some point, Alissa cast the invisibility spell on them. Although their footprints could be found in the snow, the skeletons never noticed their approach. Things got even better when a new pack of dire wolves suddenly appeared in the north and started to cause havoc.
"Now…" Alissa and then she jumped.
The spell will stay active until Ryan and Alissa cause damage, so Ryan didn't get caught off-guard. However, he sighed when Alissa fell on the middle of the squad and made the entire area tremble with a single punch. She eliminated the entire squad and also broke the formation of several others who were nearby. Surprisingly enough, some skeletons even froze on the spot.
"I didn't think my gauntlets could have such a large area of effect…"
Ryan fired Earth Bullets and completely shattered the skeletons, which froze on the spot. Meanwhile, Alissa turned to the side and then began to sweep the skeleton knights as if they had the leaves' resistance. Although Alissa killed most of them, Ryan wasn't fast enough to kill those who got frozen.
"Ah… screw it."
Ryan used Power of Money on those who were almost dead and increased his pace. However, things didn't improve all that much since some archers and wizards recognized his presence and level of danger. Ryan equipped his shield to block their attacks, and he prevented the damage. However, at the same time, his attacking speed decreased.
"It can't be helped… let's leave the leftovers for later. Although even Alissa recognizes how troublesome the skeletons knights can be, I won't do much while those freaks are focusing on me."
Ryan equipped one of his longswords and then used Fire Storm. Even though his targets had low health, it took a while for him to decimate all of them, and when he did it, other archers and wizards decided to focus on him.
"I guess we can't ignore them," Alissa said after suddenly appearing. "I wanted to prevent them from assuming a troublesome formation, but…"
While Alissa was talking, some shadows left the dungeon. However, Ryan and Alissa could lose their focus, their concentration wane when they say those weird figures. The bosses were using black robes that covered their entire body. Although Ryan couldn't see a face inside their hoods, a single word came to his mind: reappear. However, that was strange. They didn't have the famous reaper's scythe…
Instead of attacking Alissa and Ryan, the cloaked monsters began to fly in a circle around the dungeon. After a few seconds, they increased their altitude and began to spread the circle. They were plotting something…
"Retreat, I will deal with them," Alissa declared.
As usual, Alissa was reckless. Ryan tried to use Appraisal, but for some reason, the skill didn't work. That was odd… he couldn't feel that much difference in power between them. Regardless, before Ryan could retreat or Alissa could transform into a dragon. Those creatures cast a massive shadow over the entire area. In the blink of an eye, everything became pitch black. To make matters worse, Ryan couldn't feel, hear or see anything, even though he had Nocturnal Eyes.
