Ryan forgot to ask Haruna a few things about Yomotsu Shikome, but in the end, he decided that he already knew plenty about her abilities. She was a necromancer that could use illusion magic. That was all that he needed to know. In any case, now Ryan had to attack the weakened black tortoises. However, he decided to rest for the night, but he just used some spells on himself to level up his resistance after a while.
"Self-harm, huh," Femradiel said. "You are crossing a dangerous road."
"It is not like I have any other choice," Ryan said. "I can't let myself get wounded in the middle of real fights."
"It looks like you have a hard time against that undead creature, you could have easily solved the problem by using Draconic Transformation," Femradiel said.
"I solved the situation without relying on it and that is all that matters," Ryan said.
That had been a pretty unpleasant night, considering that Ryan had decided to just rest. Regardless, while it was only natural that Ryan would be good at dodging, even that has its demerits. It doesn't happen often, but it happens. Even weak attacks cause a lot of damage since Ryan, pretty much on a daily basis, faced monsters much more powerful than him.
"I have to take a few hours every day to train my resistances," Ryan got up when the sun began to rise. "Otherwise, it will come a day where just the blast of wind caused by the movements of some monsters will make me fly dozens of meters."
After resuming his journey, Ryan found a few dungeons here and there, and much to his surprise, they weren't being guarded. However, he found that those places have spawned thousands of monsters.
"It looks like the humans working with the black tortoises caused some dungeon breaks before they left this area," Ryan said, slightly annoyed. "They don't want to make things easier for us."
"This is a good opportunity for me," Femradiel said. "Let Furball, the eagle and me fight against some of those to gain some mana. We are not the only ones fighting here, so we don't have to rush ahead without making some preparations, right?"
Ryan considered the proposal. The monsters were only some salamanders, so Femradiel had the elemental advantage, and Furball was strong enough to sweep the ground with those monsters. Ryan also needed more essences to make the special potions, so that really was an excellent opportunity for everyone.
"Go on," Ryan said after using some potions on Femradiel, Furball, and the Steel Eagle.
While his pets were playing with the salamanders, Ryan used that chance to sell some of the crossbows he lent to Haruna and the others. He also used Mana-Eater on others to give a hand to Femradiel. Even though she was weaker than before, she still had been pivotal in the last fight.
"I guess I need more of them," Ryan said while looking at his three pets. "The Steal Eagle eventually won't be able to keep up with Furball and Femradiel, so it looks like that I reached a point where some summoned creatures and tamed monsters aren't that useful in small numbers."
