Ryan began to fire with several magic copies of his Immobilizing Crossbow while Vital Hunter was active. However, after just a couple of bolts landed, the massive monster flew toward his direction and, in a single instant, was right in front of Ryan and ready to smash him with its right arm as if Ryan was a fly.
Even before the impact, Ryan felt his bones cracking since the effectiveness of the gravity field increased tenfold when the monster was that close. However, Ryan teleported to behind the monster and began to attack the monster's neck. While the crystal-like scales seemed pretty fragile, Ryan's bolts didn't leave a single scratch.
"How can a monster that was supposed to be a specialist at flying be this sturdy, Femradiel?" Ryan asked.
"It is tyrant, didn't you want one of these because of their sturdiness?" Femradiel asked. "It seems that you also forgot that this dungeon master likes to mix traits of several creatures to create all-rounder creatures."
Instead of masters of none, all the Chimeras faced so far were truly a pain in the ass in all aspects. So, he should have expected something like that from the dungeon master's ultimate weapon. The massive monster suddenly turned around, and then Ryan was pushed back several meters away just by the movement of the wind.
The creature tried to fry Ryan alive with the energy beam that flew from its mouth again. Still, the very moment the beast opened its mouth, Ryan used Flash and appeared at the top of the monster's head. While he was trying to attack a single point and notice any difference in Vital Hunter's efficiency, Ryan also equipped his Pestilence Crossbow + 10 and fired several times in a row. However, the monster's flesh wasn't poisoned since even in the parts where one couldn't find scales, Ryan found a thin crystal-like layer of defense.
"This just keeps getting better and better," Ryan muttered and then used Teleport to escape when he saw a massive claw moving towards him.
The air vibrated when the dungeon master hit its head when it tried to crush Ryan. Even a single slap probably has enough power to kill Ryan… despite that, he wasn't that nervous. How many times had he fought enemies that could just kill him with their weight alone? Too many to count.
"Try to use the Thunderlord Crossbow," Femradiel said.
If the poison wasn't working and his first strategy probably would take too long to work, Ryan might as well follow Femradiel's advice. Although Ryan wasn't expecting much, when his first bolt landed, he noticed that the dungeon master flinched, for a millisecond, to be precise. Perhaps that had been Ryan's imagination, but then when he created several magic copies of his crossbow and used them, Ryan clearly noticed that the dungeon master stopped for a fraction of a second whenever his electric bolts hit.
"Annoying worm," the dungeon master.
"Says the guy who doesn't have the courage to show himself," Ryan said. "I am pretty sure even flies have more courage than someone like you who decided to defile the bodies of other creatures and then use them like someone wearing armor. You make me sick. Crushing you with my feet will be extremely satisfying."
It was quite rare for Ryan to go to the point where he would say things like that. In fact, Femradiel couldn't remember a single time where he debated with his foe. In the past, it was evident that Ryan didn't see his enemies like real adversaries. Still, just like an obstacle, he had to surpass.
