Chapitre 779: Insistence

 Thanks to the explosion, Hephaestus loosened his grip, and Ryan freed himself. However, he paid a high price since he was so close to the explosion. His front body suffered some burns, and he rolled on the ground for quite a while, but despite the pain, he got up. He needed to heal himself and recover his mana. After all, Ryan was pretty sure that he didn't cause much damage. He aimed at Hephaestus' face, but the helmet was on the way.

 When the dust and smoke disappeared, Ryan saw Hephaestus standing a few meters away from the explosion center. His hands were bleeding since he involuntarily moved his arm to use the hammer and protect himself, but aside from that, he was pretty much fine. However, the miasma was coming from the wounds in his hands.

"You really did it, huh…" Hephaestus said while he looked at his hands. "With his, you certainly were able to damage Poseidon. You are lacking in power, but with some preparations, yes… it is possible."
