Chapter 443: Traitors

                                                                        While the first fight made Ryan realize that he will have to play it safe and be patient, it also gave him a few ideas on how to handle the monsters. Ryan assumed that Mana Steal was similar to Mana-Eater. At the same time, Ryan's skills could only work while he was touching something. The first one wasn't that powerful. So, Ryan decided to test a certain theory…

                                                                        Instead of slowly covering his targets with ice, Ryan made their bodies wet and then cooled down the water. The monsters began to freeze, but then Ryan noticed that the effectiveness of Mana Steal was more significant when they also came in contact with things that had mana… the ice began to melt faster than Ryan could make them freeze.

"So annoying…" Ryan clicked his tongue.
