Surprise

 Even though it might be a trap, Ryan approached as fast as possible. If that were the case, he might as well fall into the trap as fast as possible and give Hephaestus less time to recover.

 As soon as he got close enough to feel Hephaestus' presence, Death Sense warned Ryan of danger. He immediately used Flash and moved to the side, and that had been just enough for Ryan to dodge a massive sword that went flying upward at sonic speeds. However, things didn't end there. Several types of weapons began to be fired from the ground toward him, and all of them were stupidly big. Still, they were only made of ordinary steel and not of mithril.

 The speed of the weapons was so high that they quickly left the planet. Under normal conditions, Ryan would be able to follow them with his eyes, but not while the dust was covering the area. Still, by relying on Death Sense, Ryan escaped the danger.
