Ryan couldn't help but sigh in the end. While one thing led to another, he should have understood that from the beginning… he could counter Hephaestus's skill by using the Mana Barrier. If his own barrier protected him from Vengeful Explosion, it was only obvious that would be the case.
Once Ryan found out the weakness of that skill, Hephaestus surprised Ryan. From the very beginning, he didn't have to make the swords fall… he could make them appear and fly toward the enemies from all directions. The very moment he used that for the first time, Ryan felt shivers when he saw Femradiel and Alissa surrounded by dozens of them. Fortunately, Femradiel had some crazy reflexes and used Teleport before they could get pierced by all of the projectiles.
"It seems that you aren't bothered that your friend is intervening now," Ryan said.
"This is a war, not a duel," Tyr said. "It is different from before."
"It sure is," Ryan said and then summoned the Vengeful Sea Crossbow.
The same way Hephaestus attacked those two, Ryan attacked Tyr. He saw himself surrounded by dozens of water bolts and then moved his arms to protect his vitals. As much as that annoyed Ryan, it actually worked since he was also wearing another armor made of mithril. However, Ryan used his previous tactic while Tyr wasn't looking at him. He used Power of Money to damage his armor in a single point without letting him notice it.
Alissa and Femradiel noticed what I did and then approached Tyr in the blink of an eye. Feramdiel made a massive ice hammer fall on his head, and then he was forced to block with his arms. At that moment, Alissa punched his left side, and the damaged part created by Ryan broke. Thanks to that, her punch hit Tyr's left side and broke several of his ribs… before he fell on the ground and broke the others from his left side.
Ryan smirked, and then Hephaestus looked really annoyed. Suddenly, he stopped using those weird swords and then left the barrier, and that was weirdly unexpected. Due to the surprise, all of those three forgot to attack Tyr once again. Hephaestus was unarmed and didn't have armor either, but he sure looked like he was about to fight. Then when Ryan, Femradiel, and Alissa were about to attack him, his body began to grow. He grew and only stopped when he was like one thousand feet tall. The ground cracked under his feet, but then he began to levitate. Soon after, Hephaestus made a full plate armor made of mithril appear, and he wore it… that was going to be tough.
Out of nowhere, a big rock appeared and then fell toward Hephaestus' feet. Still, then he kicked, and Ryan was instantly sent flying backward for hundreds of kilometers. Before, Alissa and Femradiel could do anything. Hephaestus disappeared, and Tyr showed up to block their path.
"Ah, I wished that I could see this," Tyr smiled. "I never saw him fighting, but he sure has the skills to smash your friend like an ant."
At the same time, Ryan was almost smashed by the rock and against a mountain. In fact, he probably only survived the attack because he got Draconic Skin the previous day. When Ryan healed his body and moved away from the rock, he saw Hephaestus' feet about to finish the job. Ryan escaped by using Teleport, but he teleported instinctively to behind Hephaestus, and thanks to that, he got punched. Hephaestus turned so safe that Ryan didn't even have time to think of dodging. Such was his speed…
Congratulations! The skill Pain Resistance has leveled up.
