Dark spirits Ryon called them, and for the record, i thought Erin was mocking the creature as well. As for Szas Fhel, Ryon is well aware that it applies to his shortsword. The steel blade burned the creatures as though it was made of fire. Until he learns otherwise, the mysterious metal it's made of is called Szas Fhel. The travelling merchant couldn't name it, but the creatures did, in their language at least. In Ryon's mind, the creatures were yelling: Steel! S___! Run!
As for Ryon trying to bring down the fleeing creature, there was no malice in it. It attacked them once, if allowed to escape, it could do so again. It might even be successful next time, which would be bad for us. Better to remove the threat.
The "the time for games is over" comment was indeed critical of Enko's behavior, but everything else Ryon said wasn't meant to attack Enko, and should be read more as an academic discussion made without passion. He wasn't yelling at Enko, just voicing his thoughts, calmly and without accusation.
Of course Ryon would prefer a peaceful solution, but should peace fail, he's ready to defend himself and his companions. What Ryon might not understand is why Enko feels "Defeated and fleeing" = "harmless". If someone or something wants you dead, letting it run away is basicly just giving it a chance to try again.
