Although that was a rare opportunity to train one of his resistances, Ryan wasn't in a training mood. While trying to counter the gravity effect, Ryan used Telekinesis, but it wasn't nearly enough for that.
Ryan summoned his Magic Bows and then made them attack the boss Mana Shield. At first, the creature ignored it, but then he noticed that the arrows were causing too much damage too fast. Ryan got the diversion that he wanted and then teleported behind the monster and pierced one of his Spiritualist's Spears in the monster's back. He frowned when his mana began to be restored at insane speeds, and a blue liquid left the monster's body.
"What the hell…" Ryan muttered. "Your blood is… mana liquid?"
The boss swung its staff and hit Ryan's right shoulder. Despite being a mage excellent at illusion magic, the creature had enough strength to cause critical damage and make Ryan spin several times before hitting the walls behind and breaking several of his limbs. Without wasting any time, Ryan used Full-Heal, but the feeling on his shoulder didn't come back.
"Great…" Ryan clenched his teeth in anger.
Ryan tried to end that fight as fast as possible, but it looked like that had been the wrong approach. In the end, he underestimated the boss for far too long and equipped the Inquisition Crossbow. If he wanted to win that fight, Ryan will have to decrease the boss's power in a more direct way.
Before Ryan could actually use his newly equipped weapon, the boss suddenly made his copies disappear… which was weird. It was even weirder that he still was bleeding the mana liquid through his back. Also, he didn't take Ryan's spear from the wound.
"For an elder god, you sure need a few tricks, huh," Ryan grinned. "And here was I wondering how come the boss of this dungeon isn't a werewolf. You did something to that body and now you can assume a physical form on Earth without suffering damage overtime."
Ryan didn't know if he had guessed right, but he assumed that had been the case since the boss looked pretty pissed. Still, for a body like that needs to suffer that many modifications to withstand the power of the dungeon master… just what the hell was that creature?
The boss's body couldn't be healed by conventional methods. That was why he went as far as creating so many illusions to keep his body safe. Maybe Ryan indeed could win that a bit faster than usual, but it looked like the boss wanted to take him down with him for that disgrace.
The beast pointed one hand in Ryan's direction, and that annoying gravity was back. At the same time, he wrote something in the air while Ryan was struggling, and the air inside the dungeon changed… That wasn't good. Ryan pointed his crossbow toward the boss and fired. This time, weirdly enough, the monster didn't try to block the attacks. It looked like that borrowed body could only use so much magic.
