To prevent the worst-case scenario, Ryan decided to lay some traps around the place that he selected as his base. He wasn't that close to the first camp he was going to attack, but he was close to seeing the main route they used to head straight toward the northern part of the country.
Oddly enough, Ryan had selected the peak of a mountain for that job. Even though he didn't expect that, he also found another route on the other side of the mountain that was used by the Genbu species.
"Such dumb monsters… so close to each other, and yet they don't feel each other's presence or notice their movements," Ryan sighed. "I need to learn from this and focus on leveling up Radar and Awareness. In any case, can you feel the location of the dungeons, Femradiel?"
"Yes, they are located respectively in the cardinal points around Tokyo," Femradiel replied. "Byakko in the North, Genbu in the West, Seiryu in the East, and Suzaku in the South."
Ryan nodded after hearing that; it makes sense that the bosses organized their species using those directions as well. While it made sense, Ryan felt that something was off… but he couldn't pinpoint what that was.
Regardless, Ryan began the massacre. Whenever a boss entered his range, he attacked. However, not like usual. Ryan used his ballista in an unusual way. After charging it with Power Shot, he controlled the projectile with Force. He made it fly in a curve that made the projectile as if it had come from the West, the direction where the Genbu species could be found.
Still, even a charged attack from the ballista didn't finish off the monster. Still, Ryan completed the task by firing another massive steel needle.
"Next time, I should activate Deadly Aim," Ryan said. "I guess I also need to find a way to charge Power Shot faster. It is a pain and not very efficient to charge for five minutes every time I have to kill those behemoth-like creatures."
Ryan also needed to find a way to charge his projectiles with mana. He recalled that Mana Transfusion could do that. Still, for some reason, whenever he tried to charge an attack with it, he failed.
"You shouldn't force your mana inside it," Femradiel said. "Your stamina doesn't do that when you use Power Shot. You envelop the projectiles with them."
While Femradiel helped quite a bit, it took a while for Ryan to successfully cover a bolt with mana. It hadn't been as easy as learning Power Shot. However, he learned that doing that, in a sense, was much better than just using Power Shot. The mana reinforced the bolts, increasing their durability, piercing power, and speed.
