Ryan somehow managed to avoid having his head pierced by an arrow, but his shoulders weren't so lucky. In the end, Ryan created an ice wall above him to stop the hundreds of magic arrows created by dozens of Arrow Showers, and then he took out the projectiles from his shoulders and then used Heal. He did that while he watched the armored crocodiles being killed by the droves by that attack.
"It looks like the dungeon master here doesn't deserve any mercy either," Ryan said.
"It surprises me that you considered offering some mercy given that they were trying to invade your planet," Femradiel said.
"We are at war, so it can't be helped," Ryan said. "Still, some things can't be forgiven, no matter what."
For someone like Ryan, who only had a few trustworthy allies, the idea of sacrificing minions to take down a tougher foe was beyond disgusting and annoying. While he used his golems like that before since they could self-destruct, some might think that he didn't have any reason to feel angry, but there was a subtle difference. Golems are inorganic creatures, and even when they are about to fall, they don't look even a little bit in pain. So, they were more like weapons than proper living beings. The same thing couldn't be said about the armored crocodiles. While they were his enemies, even on the battlefield, some things can't be done to the enemy.
This time Ryan didn't hold back, so his Ice Wall lasted for quite a while. Upon noticing that they were sacrificing their allies in vain, the archers stooped. Ryan could sense two groups of archers in the east and west. Their numbers were close to one thousand each. So, he assumed that would be easy. He grabbed his Celestial Summoner's Crossbow and fired once at the enemies on the east side. While his bolt didn't kill the archer, when the Magma Golem appeared, it crushed the creature thanks to its massive weight.
When the armored crocodiles resumed their attacks, as if nothing had happened, Ryan already had his cutlass in his hands, and just like before, he cut their throats before they could even scratch him. However, even with his speed, Ryan couldn't overcome a horde of monsters with two weapons alone. Five enemies approached from behind and swung their weapons at him. Once again, Ryan protected himself with an ice wall.
"Well, let's see that in action," Ryan muttered.
Before more enemies from other directions could try to attack Ryan as well, he summoned a Magic Sword. Much to his surprise, a flame sword that was as big as him and emitted a powerful heat appeared. It couldn't be wielded even by Ryan's hands… Regardless, when some armored crocodiles entered its range, the weapon automatically attacked them with a single insanely fast swing. That didn't seem like the power of a level one skill… The monsters that got by the flames suffered some serious burns and were forced to back down, but that came with a price. Ryan noticed that the weapon decreased in size.
"That is a pretty neat skill," Femradiel said.
