"I see, so you're having some troubles while dealing with dungeon masters," Alissa nodded after she heard Ryan's summary of the last events. "Well, it isn't that surprising given that they are creatures that probably lived for much longer than us. Still, if you ask me, I would say that you are losing a golden chance because you are rushing ahead trying to deal with small fries."
"What do you mean by that?" Ryan frowned.
"Those are going to cause problems for us aren't those dungeon masters who try to do things behind the scenes," Alissa replied. "If we keep strengthening ourselves, when the time comes, they will be at best, a minor nuisance. Think about it, what they will be able to do if someone like Thanatos and Lilith decided to go at each other. Nothing, right?"
"That isn't the issue here, while it isn't much, by obtaining some domains we can decrease the problems we will face later on," Ryan said. "Besides, the domains can also become a good source of coins."
"You can get as many coins as you want just by fighting and by doing so, you will also become stronger," Alissa said. "Considering the things, you said, trying to take a domain from some sapient beings can be a huge pain in the ass. Besides, the more domains you have, the more time you will have to spend guarding them. Thus, you will have less time to train certain skills and obtain more classes."
Alissa was strangely convincing… Ryan was pretty sure that she wasn't that logical a few months ago. Ryan recognized her points, but he still couldn't believe that the human race could survive a war against mythological beings just by relying on brute strength. They needed some trump cards, and the domains could play that role. While some dungeon masters attack Earth, their back would be exposed on their bases, and Ryan wanted to use that chance to strike. However, since dungeon masters couldn't manifest themselves in all worlds when they reach a certain level of power, a lot of preparation was needed.
"I hate to say this, but… she has a point," Femradiel said. "We know that you have been facing some problems trying to defeat other dungeon masters. I guess it is too early for that. Come to think of it, it is already amazing that you have three domains when most of the dungeon masters lived for hundreds of years. You should focus on increasing your strength and once you become a few times more powerful than you are, defeating dungeon masters and obtaining their domains will be something that you will do much more smoothly."
Ryan was stubborn and prideful, but he wasn't that stupid. Alissa and Femradiel had a point. He rushed ahead without thinking because he realized the potential the domains had. Still, Ryan couldn't get his hands on several of them when he wasn't even on the rank of the ten strongest humans. Come to think of it, he realized that the special classes would help him much more than any domain until at least he obtains an equal number of domains and classes.
"I guess you are right…" Ryan said after a lot of hesitation.
"What? Who are you and what you did to Ryan?" Alissa said, showing an expression of disbelief. "The Ryan that I know would never admit that he is wrong about something…"
