Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
All five heads roared in unison.
The intimidation of the Dragon species within it shook the human mind and body, and with it, the Hydra moved its huge body.
Kung thump thump thump!
He wanted to use his front legs to create a big ripple, but he wriggled several heads and twisted his body!
That huge body is a mass weapon just by moving!
───────!!!
A gale came.
The trees of the wetland covered by the giant body were destroyed in an instant, and the fragments were scattered in all directions.
loud bang.
Kwajeok!
As a second wave, a wave mixed with wood fragments rushed in in an instant.
Even in swamps, waves like tidal waves can arise.
An object that reproduces it only with pure mass!
Russell frowned as he used floating magic to evade his attacks.
‘It doesn’t work…’
For some reason, his dominance as a solvent didn’t work for him at all.
Even if he simply did not obey, he would hesitate, but there was no sign of that.
No, it’s not that it doesn’t work, to be precise.
‘It feels like being blocked before I can even reach it.’
It seemed as if something was blocking his dominance as a solvent in advance.
I tried exercising my control a couple more times just in case, but nothing changed.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Russell let out a long sigh.
He gathered his magic.
Hwaaak-
It would have been best to press him down with dominance, but even if that wasn’t the case, the second best method was also sufficient.
Besides, no matter how strong the five-headed hydra is, it could never be an opponent for two Tower Master-class mages!
Whoa-!
Damn it-!
Alan took action first, setting up a five-layered shield at an angle to let go of his mass attack and freezing the crashing waves as they were.
five heads.
When I saw that one of them opened its mouth wide, I slammed a huge block of ice into its mouth.
bang!
The weight of the ice made the guy’s head stagger.
The poisonous air that was about to pour out of his mouth was blocked by the ice.
─!!!
The amount of time it took for a block of ice the size of a house to form and shove it into his mouth was at most a fraction of a second or less.
As he flashed his five pairs of eyes, he bit down on the ice in his mouth.
Bit by bit, he smashed the ice with his teeth and opened another mouth.
It is to release the venom that has been stored in the body through another mouth.
At that moment, the magic power flowing from Russell’s fingertips took control of the entire sky.
It is divided into dozens and hundreds of branches and twists and turns to create vortices.
Roaring!
A vortex shaped like a flame embroidered the sky in an instant. Hundreds of firebolts appeared on the spot.
In the heat, the cold air of dawn retreats.
Hundreds of flaming arrows hit the guy’s mouth before the breath of poison poured out.
Phoebe bebbing perberberberbeobung!
Immediately after the sharp piercing sound, the sound of the creature exploding along with the explosion resonates non-stop.
The poisonous air burned faster than it escaped from the mouth and throat.
An ordinary creature would not be able to survive even if that number of fire arrows were lodged in its mouth and throat.
However, the hydra was no ordinary creature.
One of the highest-ranking dragon species, which is said to have inherited a large amount of dragon factors in this age when myths are coming to an end.
The magic defense power of such a dragon was far beyond imagination.
‘They say it survives even when its mouth and throat are bombarded with firebolts?’
Although it was a low-level magic, I thought it would be as effective as directly hitting the mucous membrane inside the body.
‘If the effect in the body is only that much, it won’t even work on the epidermis.’
To attack from the outside, you have no choice but to use higher level magic.
Push-shush-.
The guy who had been coughing up black smoke non-stop from his mouth that had been stunned by flames, and his neck was staggering, suddenly opened his eyes.
Did he learn that his breath no longer works through his two failures?
The image of him rolling his eyes full of anger without opening his mouth.
Five heads and ten eyes staring in different directions is disgusting and terrifying.
What he chose next was magic.
Gyao oh oh-!
The roar of the roar replaced the chant, and the anger that flowed out stirred the surrounding magic power.
A truly dragon-like magic expression. As if in response, a huge magic circle rose above the five heads.
‘That’s-!’
Russell’s eyes quickly read the structure of the magic circle.
It was quite different from that of humans, but as long as the essence is magic, it cannot escape Russell’s eyes.
It didn’t take long for rational reason and sharp intuition to dissect the magic circle and reach a conclusion.
‘Is it a lightning strike?’
That’s a powerful lightning strike that can reach dozens of feet!
If it fell into the swamp, it was clear that it would inflict indiscriminate damage to all enemies. But it won’t matter.
Because to him, the monsters he commands are worse than the pieces on the chess board.
No matter how much you lose, if you get it back, that’s it.
Gyaaaaaagh!
The magic circle turned into lightning. A thunderbolt turns the sky blue with black smoke.
Kurrrrrrrung-!
The moment when a dozen feet of thick lightning descended on the area!
────!!
Hydra’s body trembled when it sensed the change. A cool sensation as if the scales of the whole body were standing up.
Curleung.
Lightning strikes that were supposed to fall in a straight line were flowing obliquely along the sky.
It was flowing down and being sucked into someone’s grasp.
Cloudy Ring.
I don’t know if it was completed and dropped in an instant, but to increase the firepower, I hung the thunderbolt at the end of the sky for a while because it was a failure.
If you had enough time, using the cloudy ring to sweep up the thunderstorm would be no task for Russell.
Kurung Kurung -.
The electricity gathered along the fingertips rotated in a spiral.
Soon, it converges to a single point and begins to draw a huge vortex.
Mjöllnir of Thunder Giant is the lightning strike magic that boasts the highest firepower in Circle 5.
What was being completed at Russell’s fingertips was something in the form of a giant harpoon.
Keraunos (Κεραυνός).
In the old days, Zeus (Ζεύς), who was the main god of the Olympian gods, borrowed the name of the thunderbolt he used, and it came to Russell’s hands.
Kururureureung-.
A discharge phenomenon occurs, and the lightning strikes the air without rest.
As if waiting for the magic to be completed, Alan slammed the magic he had prepared onto the surface of the water.
Ice without any impurities is itself an insulator.
Among the many natural objects that make up the swamp, only the pure water froze and created a wall surrounding the hydra!
Russell’s fingertips trembled.
Keraunos.
A heavy lightning bolt with no room to stop hit the hydra’s spine.
─!!!!
* * *
Even the thunder of lightning that resounds in the sky is a law that frightens people on earth.
All the more, a huge thunderbolt fell right in front of my eyes!
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A deafening roar accompanied by a white light covered the area. It flashed and blinked nonstop, repeating light and darkness.
A shock wave was generated from the point where the lightning struck, and the water in the swamp inside the ice wall evaporated cleanly in an instant.
Pushyyyyy-!
The rising steam covered the area thickly.
It is literally a scene of great destruction.
The tremendous roar and shocking scene made those who were fighting monsters stop moving for a moment!
“What, what…
. ”
One of the knights murmured involuntarily at the ripples and slight shockwaves transmitted through the swamp water.
I even swallowed my saliva.
Even if it was a hydra, wouldn’t it have died instantly if it had received a blow like that with its body?
I even heard that.
However, the thoughts of the two wizards confronting the Hydra were different.
‘The effect was sufficient, but…
‘
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-.
As the two wizards thought, the hydra was alive and not dead.
Even though he was seriously injured and his two heads burned to death.
It was still moving its big body with its three heads wriggling.
It was a blow that could split even a huge cliff with a direct hit.
Perhaps even the pouring river water can be reversed.
But to be able to breathe even after being hit by such a blow.
Isn’t it a magical defense that went beyond the level of strength and was phenomenal. However, the victory was already over to them.
With deep sunken eyes, Russell and Alan cast their next spell.
.
.
Sudden!
A huge ice sword sliced through the body of the hydra, and then a spear of flame pierced the body.
Roaring boom!
The spear of flame that penetrated the body explodes, and for a moment, the body of the hydra swells like a balloon and then sinks repeatedly.
A blow that shakes the inside as well as the outside!
Of course, it wasn’t just that Hydra was suffering.
In order to counterattack, he continued to shoot magic and at the same time moved his large body to create a storm.
Quaaaaaa!
Even that wasn’t enough, he even looked for opportunities to unleash a venomous breath!
Even an ordinary criminal, or even a trained regular soldier, would not be able to leave even a corpse if he got caught up in the battle of those three.
Far beyond the scope of a fight, it seemed more appropriate to call it a disaster.
It is difficult to even dare to intervene, let alone support.
Under such circumstances, Count Reinkel’s conclusion was extremely reasonable.
“Don’t get too close! Get the battle lines back!”
It is to secure the stage so that the two people who can’t move properly for fear of getting caught up in their allies can run rampant to their heart’s content.
The knights who realized the Count’s intention raised their voices one after another.
“Keep your distance! For now, get out of the swamp and rebuild your defenses in the marsh!”
“Don’t disrupt the battle lines! Move quickly right after the wizards retreat!”
“The enemies we have to deal with are not the Hydra, but the monsters he commands!”
Alan smiled faintly as he felt the presence of his allies gradually widen the distance.
With this, you’ll be able to shoot your magic a little more freely.
As if in response, the whole area began to freeze, and Alan quietly admired the shockingly precise and rapid movement of magical power.
‘This is the 6th circle…’
One step.
I only climbed one step. But what a difference.
I felt a sense of elation as if I had conquered the top of a high mountain.
Of course, it didn’t take long for that elation to fade.
“—?!”
torrent.
Alan hurriedly turned his head at the stern movement of magical power that could only be described as terrifying.
I glimpsed Russell casting magic while flying in the air.
‘This much magical power in that short moment…’,
but was it because of the difference in the level of proficiency and experience accumulated over the years?
Apparently, the mountain he climbed and the mountain Russell climbed seemed quite different.
‘Surely Sir Russell.’
How insignificant was the arrogance that I had for a while. If nothing else happens, that magic will be the final blow.
The moment I thought so, into the thoughts of the dying Hydra.
A voice came through.
– It must be a pretty unfortunate fight to end like this.
If there was a color in a desolate and dry voice, I wonder if it would be black.
-If the power of dragon blood that I shared with you is not that much, stand up. My follower.
Along with the sound, a black shadow covered the Hydra’s entire body.
Whoaaaaagh!
dragon-swallowed wizard
