I guess you can for now, Rhir doesn't come into play for a long time after these few chapters IIRC, but it's still a decent few chapters of Clown's madness and gives solid lore on Rhir, how that hardcore society on a blighted continent works, providing interesting difference between similarly militaristic society of Drakes on Izril but without the hardcore totalitarian authoritarianism that Rhir has.

But yeah, if you're not feeling like it, skip. It's not that important except for showing that Demons aren't the bad guys, at least not worse than King Othius and the Blighted Kingdom, and the situation with Earthers being summoned to the world is more complicated than it seemed to be, especially considering HOW it was done.

I guess you've already read the entire fight and experienced an extreme pleasure of having Ryoka beaten up. Ryoka vs Calruz is a rite of passage for Ryoka haters and a big pay-off. Ryoka IS supposed to be unlikable, she's a spoiled, arrogant depressed shit with borderline that cannot get her meds now that she was summoned to another world. Of course she is unhinged.

Ryoka acting like a maniac out of her meds is half the fun of reading her chapters. Embrace it.
