Ryan and Femradiel were one hundred percent sure that the dungeon masters were participating indirectly in that fight. It was hard to understand how they could control so many monsters at the same time like that, but Ryan had a weaker version of the spell that they were using to do that. It was Animalistic Transference.
"I am pretty sure that the dungeon masters are using a skill much more advanced than that," Femradiel said. "The brain of all living things has limits, you can give commands to all of your golems, but they can only follow at the same pace to a certain extent. Maybe it is illusion magic."
"In the end, it doesn't matter how the dungeon masters are interfering," Ryan said. "We probably can't cut their link between them and the monsters and there is also the fact that they are getting stronger the more they fight us. So, we need to be fast, precise, and destructive."
"So…" Femradiel said.
"I won't use Draconic Transformation," Ryan said. "If I rely on that every time something troublesome happens, I will never obtain true strength."
"You always have to make everything more complicated," Femradiel shrugged.
"We put some restrictions on ourselves, we can become stronger faster," Ryan said. "Or do you really need to use all of your power to defeat small fries such as them."
"Don't try to appeal to my pride," Femradiel said. "Did you forget that you destroyed it?"
"I believe most things can be recovered or repaired," Ryan replied. "You should try to recover your pride, or at least a small portion of it in this fight."
Femradiel recognized that Ryan wasn't just saying empty words. He truly meant that. While it was only natural that it would make her try harder, the same thing could be applied for Ryan. His pride was quite damaged since he got his ass kicked several times in the last six months. In some battles, he only survived due to extremely useful skills such as Power of Money.
Despite the severity of the situation, Ryan caught himself smiling. His worries more or less had disappeared because that was a chance like no other. Beating his foes with brute strength was fun. Overpowering them was quite satisfying as well, but nothing could be compared to what Ryan could do right now… defeat his enemies at their own game. Thanks to his domain, Ryan will have to defeat his foes by relying on his brawn and brain from that point onward.
"What is the next step?" Femradiel asked.
"Annoy the hell out of our enemies," Ryan said. "If they think by working together and relying on strategy, they can defeat us, they are dead wrong."
"What should I do?" Femradiel asked.
"Just focus on strengthening your familiar forms," Ryan said while he was gathering the iron ores that the monsters slain by his golems dropped. "My elemental enchantments are kind of weak, but if you can buff those bad boys with your magic, you can do that."
"I think it is pretty early for you to rely on tricks," Femradiel frowned.
