"It seems the mist also works like a natural barrier against magic attacks," Femradiel rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
"You don't say," Ryan said. "I would never have guessed that myself. Anyway, ice magic won't help here and since my fire spells are much weaker, it will be a waste of time trying to continue with this plan."
As it turned out, Femradiel's instincts were right. The plan to burn everything wouldn't work. Regardless, despite everything, Ryan couldn't help but wonder why they haven't been attacked yet. Even if the mist zone was massive, someone at the level of the demon generals would have noticed Ryan's attack.
"Let's see…" Ryan said and then summoned a skeleton. "Try to find this guy's presence once he enters the mist."
"Sure… if he survives the fall," Femradiel said.
The skeleton was an ordinary one, so it was even weaker in terms of endurance if compared to the skeleton archers and skeletons wizards. Regardless, the creature entered the mist, and Ryan confirmed that it was still… alive? It was weird to say that a skeleton is alive.
"Not good, even though the mist is only two hundred meters deep, I can't feel the skeleton's presence," Femradiel said. "Belphegor uses strange tactics, but they are highly effective."
Ryan used Animalistic Link and confirmed that the mist was so dense that he couldn't see anything five meters away from him. Fortunately, at least on the part, the skeleton fell, he didn't find anything weird with the surroundings. It was just a part of the forest hidden in the mist. However, after a while, Ryan lost control over the skeleton. Something made the Animalistic Link break. Ryan tried to use it again, but it seemed the skeleton was long gone.
"… Maybe I should just destroy this world," Ryan said. "How big was the asteroid that made the dinosaurs go extinct again? Seven miles wide? I am pretty sure that I heard in a documentary that a sixty miles-wide rock can cause the extinction of most likely a planet of Earth's size."
"You don't know if this planet is the same size as Earth," Femradiel said. "You also don't know the speed such a projectile has to hit a planet to destroy. Anyway, Belphegor probably can survive, even if this planet explodes. Did you forget how much trouble you had on defeating Thanatos and Poseidon?"
Ryan couldn't forget it. Even to make Seal work, he had to try dozens of times. Whenever he attacked with any of his skills, their bodies reached a point that they refused to get more hurt. It was no wonder since they were beings who have been around for thousands of years… that was a crazy level of immortality and regeneration. Ryan didn't have the chance to check if they couldn't die after getting hit by hundreds of Lunar Arrows in their comatose state. Still, it was hard to find such an opportunity to fight on the opponent's turf.
"We already wasted too much time here," Ryan said. "Let's enter that damn mist and look for Belphegor, who knows what might happen if we take our time."
