Ryan immediately used Draconic Transformation and equipped his armor. Alissa did the same. Still, then when they were about to attack, they saw themselves standing in a ring at the center of a very active volcano. Ryan felt the strength leaving his body because that heat was even stronger than when Hephaestus' Heat Field. Naturally, the extra defense that Frost Armor protected began to melt as well…
"I am not much of a fighter, but I understand that the terrain is a very important factor," Hypnos said, while still standing on his throne.
"Just offer me support, you two," Alissa said and then prepared to dash toward Hypnos. "I can do this."
Ryan summoned the double-headed club and decided to fight while using Telekinesis, which should save his energy in case something happens, but then when Alissa was about to attack. Two surprising creatures made of blue energy appeared in front of them. They seemed like ghosts, but Ryan and Femradiel recognized the ghosts… They were copies of themselves in their draconic forms.
Ryan's copy and Femradiel cast ThunderStorm, and instantly, the whole battlefield was being hit by lightning bolts. Ryan tried to protect them by using his gigantic weapons to block the attack, but he could only react so fast. Several lightning bolts ignored the steel weapons and fell toward them. However, Feramdiel blocked them with an ice wall.
Alissa opened her mouth to use her breath, but her copy did the same. In the end, the two attacks collided and caused an explosion that made both groups move backward a little.
"Using long-ranged attacks is a waste of time. The attacks will only be canceled by copies," Femradiel said. "If you want to win against the copies, use your own weaknesses against them."
Ryan was fully aware that he was weak in close combat, but that was only the case because he was impatient. Since the copy was just a concentration of mana, it couldn't become impatient or something like that. Regardless, Ryan had to come up with some to end the fight quickly, Hypnos still was watching, and he didn't like to show his skills to the enemy like that.
The copies even had a magical version of mithril armor on them, so Ryan assumed that using the steel weapons wouldn't do any good. While Ryan was thinking, his copy recovered and used Ice Breath against Alissa. While it wasn't at the same level of the Dark ice Breath, Alissa still saw her arms freezing due to it. As for her copy, it aimed its mouth toward Ryan and Femradiel.
Ryan blocked the breath by spinning the steel club in front of him, and thanks to that, he had another idea. He summoned the steel sword and spear and made them hit the copies from above, but they stopped the weapons with their hands. At the same time, Ryan smirked. In the next second, he used Thunder Storm and increased the power by using Mana Manipulation.
Femradiel's copy tried to move away from the weapons that were being used as conductors for the lightning bolts, but it didn't have time to do that. Alissa had enough time to concentrate and then use her breath. While being shocked and attacked from above, the creatures didn't stand a chance and suffered damage until they evaporated.
Congratulations! The skill Thunder Storm has leveled up.
