Ryan suddenly teleported to the right above Belphegor and tried to punch him. Still, the demon moved his arm to block his attack. Even in that position and without touching Ryan's fist, Belphegor stopped Ryan's punch. It was Telekinesis… the skill was at a pretty high level, too, since Ryan's punch in his draconic form could do almost the same amount of damage the sloth demons could when they explode.
"So, despicable…" Belphegor said and then sighed. "You are always trying to take from others the things you want. Human race doesn't even care if they have to start wars and kill hundreds of thousands if not millions to get what they want."
After moving away from Belphegor, Ryan noticed some marks on his fist. Even without using his body, Belphegor's Telekinesis had been powerful enough to almost crush his right fist. There was a possibility that if Ryan prepares an attack before teleporting, that he will manage to cause some direct damage. Still, in the end, Ryan had a hard time believing that it would succeed. His instincts were telling him that.
Before Ryan could come up with any other plan, Belphegor sat cross-legged. It looked like he was getting a bit more interested in the fight. However, that wasn't something that helped Ryan. When the demon focused his eyes on Ryan, something happened… Ryan's body became more sluggish, and his body wasn't responding as fast as usual.
"What?" Ryan muttered.
Almost one hundred demons suddenly appeared around Ryan. This time he won't be saved by Frost Armor. In the next moment, all the demons exploded, and the entire area trembled. That chain explosion had been as powerful as Ryan's fireball, and that was crazy since Ryan had to focus for a few minutes to launch that attack.
Ryan sighed in relief a few hundred meters above, he escaped the attack, and his body was back to normal. Femradiel saved his ass.
"Thanks, Femradiel," Ryan said. "For a minute, I thought I was a goner."
"It seems he can use a higher-level version of Slow," Femradiel said. "He can use it even without touching the target, but the farther away the target is, the less effective the skill is."
Ryan also assumed that the skill was similar to Thanatos' Death Manipulation. He could use it on anyone he looks at, and he probably can slow down exponentially anyone or anything that gets too close to him. Still, Ryan had to confirm that, but that would be difficult since Belphegor was using the demons to block the bolts.
After coming up with a plan to land the first attack, Ryan put it into motion. Ryan created an Ice Spear and then threw it toward Belphegor, but before he could let the spear go, he used Perfect Aim, Deadly Aim, and Teleport. The projectile appeared half a meter away from the demon and almost pierced the back of his head. Ryan saw the projectile stopping in mid-air, but he also saw it moving in slow-motion.
"I guess that confirms everything," Femradiel said. "This will be hard, perhaps even harder than the fight against Thanatos."
