Unlimited Power 02 - The Ranger's Domain
Chapter 122 - Earth Manipulation

That had been one tiring battle, even though it didn't last that long and despite the fact that Ryan didn't suffer a single wound thanks to Baal's attacks. Regardless, he put Alissa on his shoulders and then moved toward the dungeon's entrance since demons were still spawning.

"We still need to understand how this purple crystal works…" Ryan sighed. "Are they automatic, or despite being powerful, Baal is stupid enough to send demons knowing that I can easily kill them?"

Ryan couldn't believe that was the case. Even though it looked like a waste of time, Baal was doing that with some plan in mind. Although he wanted to replace some answers to the other world, Ryan only returned with even more questions. Fortunately, not everything was bad news. Ryan found his salamander still guarding the entrance of the dungeon, and he received several notifications.

You obtained 4.500 coins.

Surprisingly enough, Ryan's taming skills leveled up while he was away, and he already could tame another beast. That was quite interesting given that they spent just a couple of hours on the other world, and the elder salamander had some status points to be allocated.

"I knew things would be interesting, but not this much," Ryan said and then laid Alissa's back against the wall of the dungeon. "I guess it was only natural given that the salamander fought demons. You did good, buddy."

It was a pity that Ryan didn't have the time to get the loot the demons he killed dropped, but fortunately, he obtained more than a few coins and status points. Now he just had to rest a little while Alissa sleeps.

"Not bad, not bad at all for a few hours of fighting," Ryan nodded to himself in satisfaction."

Despite the progress, Ryan was too tired to do anything. Still, he trained his salamander for a while, trying to muster any will to leave the dungeon and let his salamander work. He also needed to relax a little in order to cool his head, Ryan had some coins to spend, and he needed to spend them wisely. In the end, Ryan didn't even need to use his head a lot to decided what to do with those coins. He had forgotten about it, but he could buy an Earth Manipulation Tome for 100.000 coins, and so he did it.

"This looks quite promising…" Ryan said after he slowly made an arrow made of Earth and then made it fly around him. "I wonder if I can learn other spells this way."

Although Ryan created an Earth Arrow just like the slimes used, he didn't receive any notification. He was missing something… it was probably the speed the monsters could create the projectiles and fire them. Still, it would take a while for Ryan to learn any spell by using Earth Manipulation if that was the case. Although he could control a pretty large chunk of earth, he was nowhere as fast as a slime could create a magic projectile.

"Well, I just need to keep training," Ryan said. "Besides, this type of skill will come in handy when I decide to attack the legs of a foe."

It was quite fun to use that kind of magic to pass the time. It was so much that Ryan recovered some of his energy and understood that he needed to obtain another tamed beast and make those skills level up even faster. Unfortunately, he couldn't leave the unconscious Alissa behind.

"Hey, Orgar," Ryan said. "You are awake, aren't you? Move Alissa's body because it is time to go."

It would be a pain to leave the salamander behind to keep slaying the demons since the beast could only return the coins to Ryan when they get close enough. Still, he couldn't just stay in that area forever. The loot that the salamander would obtain was another problem. Unfortunately, if Ryan wanted all of those, he would have to come back occasionally. After all, there are some dragons in the area, and they might attack the salamander, so his pet couldn't leave the place.

"No response, huh?" Ryan frowned. "Is he ignoring me, or is he just tired as well?"

Ryan sighed, but in the end, he decided to use that rare chance to rest as much as possible since he had no idea what would happen next. Hopefully, Alissa and Orgar won't try to pick a fight with another enemy way out of their league. Still, hope for that was anything but realistic.
