"It is finally your time to shine, Femradiel," Ryan said.
"Are you finally thinking about using Draconic Transformation?" Femradiel asked, and her voice seemed full of expectation.
"Nope, you will shine by using my Telepathy to make mana potions being poured over me," Ryan said. "If I give you permission, you can use my spatial ring, right?"
"… Yes," Femradiel said, and she seemed pretty pissed.
"Then, your job will be to use potions," Ryan said.
Since the ice crystals left their position around the dungeon, it meant that Ryan could enter the dungeon. The only real problem was that he couldn't use Earth Manipulation to reach the dungeon's last part. The very moment he reached the entrance by using an underground route, his magic stopped working on the ground. From that point onward, he will have to show himself to the enemies.
"You sound pissed, but this is an important job," Ryan said. "Do you want to do something else?"
"Do you think so?" Femradiel asked. "Why would a dragon feel unhappy when being treated like a servant?"
"And you said you didn't have much of your pride left," Ryan shrugged, "If you think you can do two things at the same time, you can attack with Electric Bullets as well. However, if my mana began to reach a dangerous level, you will have to focus on using mana potions."
Femradiel had more or less idea what Ryan was planning, but she couldn't imagine that he would need all that much mana. Regardless, she decided to focus as well since there was no telling what might happen, and those bosses would be a problem even in her draconic form.
When Ryan's focus reached the peak, he activated Ranger's Awakening and immediately opened the path above him. When the monsters finally felt his presence, Ryan already was deep inside the dungeon in his firing posture. Like a machine-gun, he began to pull the trigger of his crossbow. In a single second, an Ice Crystal was killed by Ryan when fourteen bolts pierced its body. Femradiel opened her eyes in amazement since she didn't think Ryan could attack that fast.
Ryan selected his next target, and the poor creature suffered from the same fate. However, before the third could fall, the ice crystals began to fire Ice Lances toward him. By using Flash, Ryan avoided them all while he kept shooting, but soon his mana reached a dangerous level.
"Femradiel!" Ryan shouted.
"My bad, my bad!" Femradiel said and finally began her work.
Femradiel made dozens of potions recover Ryan's mana, so he resumed his attacks. That scene repeated itself for a while, and then when the thirtieth ice crystal died, the bosses finally understood that they wouldn't be able to hit Ryan unless they filled the entire dungeon with Ice Spears. No, even if they do that, Ryan can use Flash to dodge all the attacks. Without any other choice, the monsters dashed toward the dungeon, even though the place was too narrow for three of them to pass at the same time.
"I have been waiting for this," Ryan smirked. "It is showtime, buddy!"
Furball barked and then began to fire Electric Bullets. While he didn't cause damage, Furball delayed the monsters for a few important fractions of a second. Now that the bosses were even closer, Ryan could use even more mana, so he activated Rapid Shot.
"Those are low-quality mana potions, you know," Femradiel protested. "Even if I focus on using only that, I won't be able to recover more mana that you can spend!"
"It is all right. Just keep working fast," Ryan said.
