Femradiel had no idea how much Ryan actually learned after the failure. Still, she concluded it hadn't been much since he spent the entire day doing nothing and just stayed in the same place he had been when he attacked the Hydra.
The truth is, Ryan didn't spend the day doing nothing. Femradiel just didn't know what he had done. After sunset, Ryan approached the ocean, then suddenly and out of nowhere, something jumped from the completely dark ocean. Even Femradiel didn't notice the Hydra's approach, but Ryan did. Despite that, the Hydra approached faster than he could escape with Teleport and ate him as a whole.
"HHUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAARREERRGGGGGGGGHHHH."
Before the monster could fall into the ocean, the creature screamed from the depths of its soul. Ryan watched the monster vomit a lot of blood, but he wasn't done yet. Ten shooting stars passed through the dark sky and hit the Hydra. Despite the low level, that Ryan's most powerful offensive skill… and yet, it barely pierced the monster's face.
"You really have Steel nerves," Femradiel said. "I didn't notice when you hid the Spiritualists Spears in the ocean and used Substitution. You also had the chance to fire ten Lunar Arrows… too bad that all that only made the Hydra lose fifty percent of its health."
Ryan couldn't help but feel annoyed since Femradiel managed to see his plan in action, even though he tried really hard to shut her smart mouth. However, Ryan didn't give up yet.
After decreasing his altitude again, Ryan waited for another surprise attack that never came. As expected, even though the creature was a monster, it wouldn't fall for the same trick twice. Ryan used Search to track the monster during the whole day, and he still was using it to confirm that the Hydra was around. However, even though the monster was close enough and Ryan was walking on the ocean's surface, the creature didn't try to attack him.
"What a troublesome monster…" Ryan said and then sighed. "It already knows that it can't surprise me, but it is violent enough not to leave alone a prey like me."
In the end, Ryan decided to accept some risks in order to try to kill the monster before it can heal or try to get rid of the spears inside its mouth. Ryan deactivated Water Walking, and then he began to sink. Still, he only felt the Hydra's movements when he was almost one hundred meters below sea level.
This time, much to Femradiel and the Hydra's surprise, Ryan didn't try any trick. He was hit in full by the Hydra's face, but before the monster could eat him, the creature trembled viciously.
"Seriously… how can you go this far and not use Draconic Transformation?" Femradiel asked.
Ryan almost passed out from the impact, and by the speed, the Hydra could move. Still, not only he endured and survived the attack, but he also managed to use Telepathy and make the spears inside the Hydra's mouth pierce the beast's flesh even further. The pain slowed down the beast, who tried to shake off Ryan, who was semi-stuck between the monster's teeth.
