Chapter 720 - Testing
It didn't take long for Ryan and Femradiel to reach Europe, and while finding Belphegor's dungeon wouldn't take more than a few minutes at that rate, Femradiel asked to stop.
"I can sense a lot of tier three dungeons here and it would be a waste to ignore them," Femradiel said.
"I suppose so," Ryan said.
Ryan obtained some skills later that he didn't have the chance to test and now seemed like the best times since the dungeons Femradiel found only spawned monsters that he already fought.

"Interesting… all the status of the zombie increased by one percent," Ryan nodded to himself in satisfaction. "But in exchange…"
Ryan used Heal on the zombie, and the creature trembled as if it had been hit by a lightning bolt. It was weird since the monster had so much health, and the skill was supposed to heal less than one thousand points of health. After rechecking the status, Ryan confirmed that the monster lost twenty percent of its health.
"What did you expect?" Femradiel asked. "It is obvious that undead monsters would be that weak against healing magic."
Adding that to the cost of the skill, which was one thousand points of mana, it made Ryan wonder if it was worse the hassle of leveling up that skill. If the skill reaches level one hundred, he can make any creature two times stronger, but what would be the point if they can suffer so much damage from a simple healing spell? Regardless, Ryan will have to try to find a solution for that problem because Summon Zombie was weirdly appealing.

While the new class wasn't that impressive, Ryan learned a lot as he killed the monsters. First of all, his Absolute Death Crossbow was as overpowered as he had imagined. Ryan could kill any beast in his line of sight even without aiming. The reason was simple, his incredibly high dexterity and the fact that he could hit any part of the enemy's body. The only downside was that Ryan couldn't use any skills alongside it. He couldn't even make a magic copy using the Magic Bow skill.
"You are a lot more useful than I expected, Thanatos," Ryan said.
"I am the god of death, not even death itself can stop me," Thanatos said. "Don't you think this mere crossbow will either."
"Sure, sure," Ryan said. "In any case, this country sure seems abandoned. The population of monsters is stupidly high."
Ryan and Femradiel were in Portugal, very close to the capital, Lisbon. Still, neither of them could see any survivors' camps or feel humans' presence. While that country wasn't that big, he imagined that things wouldn't be that bad… Still, considering that Belphegor and an army of demons were less than one thousand miles away, it wouldn't be weird if all humans in the region had been wiped out.
"… If I were you, I would avoid using that Summon Zombie skill," Femradiel said while she was frowning. "The smell of corruption changed quite a bit and turned into something very… it is hard to describe with words."
"Why does everyone talk like I am smelly and it is not due to these weird powers?" Ryan facepalmed.
"Well, don't worry about it, it isn't permanent," Femradiel replied. "The effect decreases overtime. Still, considering that we are going to attack a demon general, perhaps avoiding it will help us in catching him off guard."
While Ryan was using Clairvoyance to make sure that the path ahead and around was clear, in the end, all caution was more than necessary. Things would be fine as long as they exterminate the monsters in the area as fast as possible. In any case, that was an excellent opportunity for Femradiel to level up classes as fast as possible and for Ryan to obtain a fair number of coins. Thanks to that, he recalled that Thanatos granted him a massive number of coins and that he forgot to use them…
