Much sooner than Ryan had expected, he understood that his plan wouldn't work. Causing damage while receiving damage and hope that his Vampirism would solve everything had been more than a mistake. He noticed that on the third mindless charge that Lucifer did. Even though his face was completely destroyed multiple times, he took the arrows out from his face like they caused the same amount of pain as mosquito bites. As for Ryan… his bones were shattering with every single impact. While he solved that issue with Temporal Healing, there was another pressing issue in front of him… Now Lucifer was even bigger than Ryan.
"What a freak…" Ryan said while biting his lips in annoyance.
Ryan finally had got rid of the dark spheres that messed up with the gravitational field around him, but it seemed those had been just used to gain some time for Lucifer. It was hard to admit it, but it seemed like he had gotten three times stronger just in the past ten minutes.
Lucifer's power level reached a point where Ryan couldn't even try to stop his attacks using Foresight or even Death Sense. If he tried to dodge the attacking know where Lucifer would attack, he would have to move away even before he moved his body. Lucifer would notice that and then prepare another attack… it was really annoying. Still, Foresight was basically useless when the difference in speed was just too big.
When Lucifer attacked again, Ryan just moved his arms to protect his face. Lucifer could have aimed at his stomach instead since he saw that, but while smirking, he continued the motion of the attack. His punch completely broke Ryan's arms and made his neck move backward almost beyond its natural limits. Much faster than before, Ryan flew toward the sun.
Congratulations! The skill Sunlight Blessing has leveled up.

Although that hadn't been within his plan, Ryan recovered quickly from the attack, thanks to Sunlight Blessing. The skill worked much more efficiently while he was so close to the sun. That might help him decrease the difference between them a little, so he made the skill level up. However, Ryan soon noticed that he wouldn't have time for that when he looked at Lucifer, and he saw him creating a massive sphere of dark energy… Baal used that all the time, but he couldn't just make ten times bigger than himself with his mana alone.
Again, Ryan tried to attack the sphere, but it didn't work. Eating away the mana with Chaotic Hunger Crossbow, Diamond Crossbow, or with anything else wouldn't solve the problem fast enough. To make matters worse, if he dodges that, Lucifer will hit the sun.
"What a clever bastard…" Ryan muttered under his breath.
"Are you ready to work together now?" Merlin asked. "Maybe I should have told you this earlier, but I didn't defeat the last boss alone, I did with my friends. There is no need to be so competitive."
"Shut up… my friends are already here with me," Ryan said, pointing to his bow.
