Those scorpions were a bad match-up against Ryan, given that the greatest strength of his weapon was the poison effect. Still, while they would cause some problems for him, it wasn't enough to make Ryan give up. His coins were pilling up nicely, and he was almost sure that he would be able to learn Katelyn's skill to upgrade weapons when he obtains twenty million coins. However, if by some chance he finds a way to get rid of the dragon inside him with those coins, he will have to delay his plans… that was really unnerving, but it couldn't be helped.
"Let's do this, Furball," Ryan said. "Watch the left side because I will focus only on hitting their eyes."
Furball barked in agreement. Since the ocean was on the right side and for some reason, the Giant Crabs weren't in that area, Ryan didn't have to worry about that direction. Regardless, Ryan began to fire his bolts, and even though he needed a few seconds to aim, he always hit the scorpions' eyes.
Several of the scorpions had fallen when some of them finally found Ryan. In the end, despite their high endurance, Ryan could easily cause critical damage when his foes were that close to him. Although his firing speed could increase a lot more if he uses Perfect Aim, Ryan couldn't use all that much mana frequently. There was no telling what might happen if he goes too far when a dragon was inside of him.
"I am not draining your mana right now, so you don't have to worry about me. If you die, I will disappear as well since I lost my original body."
Ryan confirmed that fact by watching his mana bar. Still, he decided to keep playing it safe. Most dragons were prideful creatures, but that one easily abandoned its body to survive. So, in Ryan's eyes, it was clear that the beast could try to trick him at any moment.
"You are indeed paranoid. You already know some humans that are working with dragons, so you already know that they can only work together if they agree by signing a contract. Right now, you are only a shelter for my spirit. While I can drain your mana to keep my conscious active, I can't do many other things. If you die, I won't even be able to fight back."
"Shut up, I didn't ask," Ryan said impatiently.
"Just threaten me as if I am your conscience. I am sure you will feel less bothered that way."
"If I wanted to listen to conscience, I wouldn't be here with Furball fighting against hordes of monsters," Ryan said.
"That is true, isn't it? Although you are the perfect host for me, you are a very troublesome human."
Ryan took a deep breath to calm down and resumed his job of slaying those scorpions. Fortunately, the annoyance in his body decided to shut up. However, the number of scorpions was too high, so they got close enough to fire their poison spells. Furball dashed toward them while dodging the projectiles and began to kick the monsters' left and right. Even though his strength wasn't higher than the monsters' endurance, his massive weight helped him with that.
