"Not bad, huh," Femradiel said after she checked the skills she obtained. "I really did the right thing when I made a human body."
If Ryan hadn't lost consciousness in two of the last three big fights he had, he would say that defeating elder gods and dungeon masters was an excellent way to power up. In any case, he was pretty satisfied with the results, he just obtained some skills that were basically the improved versions of Slow and Haste, and while their cost was insane, it would be worth the hassle.
"In the end, Belphegor never used a weapon, huh," Ryan said after looking around for a while.
"Yep, he was probably too lazy to master one," Femradiel said. "Most likely, he never trained in his life, he relied only on his natural talent."
"This place isn't so bad…" Belphegor said. "Now I am finally free of Lucifer's orders and I can rest as much as I want."
Despite the defeat, Belphegor didn't look even a bit sad or upset. He seemed thankful, in fact. He was one of the demon generals, but he didn't like his job… Now, he had the perfect excuse to slack off for the rest of eternity. Before Ryan could hear any more nonsense, he pulled the newest crossbow on his vault.
"Let's get going," Ryan said and then began to move to the crystal that appeared once Belphegor was defeated.
"Wait, aren't you forgetting something?" Femradiel asked.
"Am I?" Ryan asked while he was looking around once again. "What I am forgetting?
"My reward, I saved your ass many times today," Femradiel said.
Ryan facepalmed and then sighed. While that was probably true, he couldn't believe that Femradiel still said that soon after a fight, they almost were killed multiple times. In a sense, her mental fortitude probably was unrivaled.
"I suppose it can't be helped," Ryan said. "Don't complain, though. It has been a while since my last practice."
Ryan closed his eyes and then approached Femradiel's head. It seemed that he was joking since he was making an incredibly weird expression while moving his lips. It almost looked like he was trying to munch a few lemons at the same time. In the end, even Femradiel's heart began to beat faster since that wasn't going to be a cheek on her cheek, and then she closed her eyes expectantly. Much to her surprise and disappointment, Ryan only kissed her cheek.
"Jesus Christ… I can't believe you are that desperate," Ryan said. "If I were in your position, I would have run away if someone approached me making that kind of expression."
In the end, Ryan's entire face got red with anger. As expected, since she wasn't that young to let that embarrass her. While she waited for Femradiel to calm down, Ryan checked the blue crystal and confirmed that Belphegor had twenty dungeons under his control… it seemed pretty high from Ryan's perspective. Still, it was hard to be sure since Belphegor was lazy and he had been alive for thousands of years.
