Ryan knew that Femradiel was smart, but that was just too good to be true. Still, he could at least listen to her idea. Her plan was simple: she would use Teleport and then move Alissa away from the battle. As much as that was annoying, Femradiel already learned Anger Manipulation since Ryan has been using it for the past hour alongside Mana Manipulation. Her idea was that the effect should be more powerful if she touches her. While it would be dangerous since there was no telling for how long she would have to do that, Femradiel would stay on Alissa's back, where she couldn't be touched.
"Why would Anger Manipulation be more effective with you?" Ryan asked. "Even if what you said is right, the level is higher ei me."
"That isn't the issue, I am doing it because my presence won't upset her all that much," Femradiel replied. "But now that you mentioned, even though the level of the skill is low with me, it should be more effective because my intelligence is higher and you focus only on dexterity. Anyway, don't try to go all out, just buy us some time and then we will come to help."
Femradiel was a bit too confident on that plan. Weirdly confident… Still, once again, Ryan decided to listen to her. Just to make sure that she would need all the help he could get, Ryan gave Femradiel a lot of INT potions and even Soul Eater.
"Use it to protect yourself if things get dangerous," Ryan said.
"I don't need it," Femradiel said. "Alissa is a friend, she won't hurt me."
"That might be Alissa, but at the same time it isn't her," Ryan said. "Don't get careless and use it."
"Whatever, but I am telling you, I won't need it," Femradiel said.
Alissa was reaching a level of exhaustion that Ryan began to think that Femradiel was right. According to Nakine, cursed dragons might stay in that form for hundreds of years without problems. However, even if they had an extra power compared to others, their bodies had the same physical limits, and fighting like mad dogs will only make them reach the limits much sooner.
Regardless, after finishing their preparations, both of them put the plan into motion. Just as planned, when Alissa flew to attack Tyr, Femradiel appeared on her back and then used Teleport. Tyr frowned when that happened since he didn't feel the presence of others nearby. Before the dungeon master could think of doing anything, Ryan attacked him with the vibrating crossbow. Tyr saw his left chest being burned by the beam of wind and then blocked the attack barehanded.
"Maybe I should have used Draconic Transformation…" Ryan muttered.
That was what Ryan thought when he felt Tyr's stare on him. The Norse god of war wasn't angry, only puzzled. In any case, Ryan needed to buy time, so he couldn't show everything he could do. The more the enemy underestimates him, the better.
