"I commend you for knowing how to counter some of my skills, but you will have to try harder if you want to succeed," Hypnos said.
After saying that, Hypnos pointed his bow toward Ryan, Femradiel, and Alissa. In a single moment, and before they could do anything, they were hit by invisible arrows on their left arms. Instantly, a good part of them began to fall asleep. Before Hypnos could try to hit them more, they began to Teleport around in order not to give them the chance to aim. Usually, that would buy them enough time to recover themselves, but only if the opponent weren't an elder god.
Hypnos decided to focus his attacks on Ryan, and he had imagined that would be the case and then charged toward Hypnos. He tried to land a fake punch and then grab the bow, but Hypnos Teleported away from him. Naturally, while he holds such a powerful weapon, he won't drop his guard. When Hypnos tried to aim the bow toward him, Ryan used Ice Breath, but Alissa and Femradiel attacked with Ice Spears and another breath attack from above and from behind. In the end, Hypnos was forced to Teleport and stop his counterattack.
"All right, let's keep coordinating like this," Ryan said via Telepathy. "He is strong and skilled, but he can't attack and block all of our attacks at the same time. Once he drops his guard, attack with all your might."
Femradiel and Alissa nodded, but even so, all of them knew things wouldn't be simple since Hypnos knew what they were planning. It was a bit risky, even for Hypnos, but he had to select a target and focus only on them. Once he succeeds and puts one of the three down, then things won't be that troublesome.
Hypnos began to teleport at high speeds as well to dodge their combined attacks, but Ryan and Femradiel made sure to activate Perfect Aim. At some point, Hypnos was going to be bombarded by them… or perhaps Ryan and Alissa will suffer the same fate as Hephaestus due to their size. Regardless, it was a necessary risk.
Hypnos focused on evading their attacks and attacking Ryan whenever possible without taking many risks. He sure had steel nerves because he never got too tense, not even when he escaped the attacks by a hair's breadth. When the projectiles were about to unavoidably hit him, Hypnos suddenly disappeared, and then the bolts hit one of the mountains. The whole area trembled, but not Hypnos line of defense. He could teleport to the interior of those when it comes down to it and ultimately return completely unscathed.
"I guess this isn't going to work… unless we use Draconic Bow again," Ryan thought.
Even using that attack wasn't a sure way to defeat Hypnos, perhaps at firing at point-blank range, but there were no guarantees that it would happen. Hypnos already proved himself to be a capable mage, so his defensive spells will decrease the power of their attacks exponentially. Using his best weapons and long-ranged attacks won't work like that, so Ryan decided to use his newest skills.
