Ryu's eyes lit up with his realization, but he also understood that the longer he spent embroiled in this battle, the more trouble he would bring to himself.
The trouble was that with all the suppression, he really didn't have an easy way of ending this battle quickly.
He slid through the waters, sending out a pulse of Bloodline Resonance that acted like a benign force field, sensing things in a large region.
It swept over the beasts and into the distance. Once it was dozens of kilometers away, Ryu got the feedback he was looking for, realizing that there were indeed Demons headed this way.
'Oh?'
Ryu's gaze flickered as he realized something else. When he sent out that pulse just now, the beasts reacted as though they had lost track of him. In fact, the ones without the blood crystal looked lost, and even the beast that did hold the blood crystal took a while to orient himself back toward Ryu and Selheira's direction.
