89 - Episode 6 vs Hydra

Don't mess with me, Mae!　The battle is not over yet!"

While nailing May, who is cringing like an older sister watching over her younger brother on his first shopping trip, she takes out a card from the item box and charges again.

She takes out a card from the item box and strikes again, "Guoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

As expected, the head was just dropped, and Hydra was alerted and added one more head in my direction.

It turns four heads toward me.

The remaining five ...... just continued to warn May, who was standing still. May has never made a move on me, but I can say that it is a level 5,000 "abyssal" guardian monster that keeps alerting me.

'Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo!'

Kuk!"

The hydra spits a black bolt of lightning from its newly added neck.

The speed of the attack was faster than expected, and I stopped to evade.

Another head spits out rocks to take advantage of the opportunity.

You son of a b*tc*!

He pulls out a new card from the item box and shouts.

'Ice Sword!　Release!　Fly!"

He releases the "R, Ice Sword" and strikes the flying rock.

Naturally, the ice sword was no match for it, and it shattered without a second thought, but that was exactly what I was aiming for. I don't intend to shatter the rock. All I wanted to do was to divert its trajectory and send the enemy's attack flying in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

Thanks to this, the rock was far off target, but I couldn't help but grumble in my heart.

（The "Infinite Gacha" card is convenient, but it can't be used while it's in the item box, so you have to take it out and hold it in your hand. (It is inconvenient that you have to take it out and hold it in your hand once, which delays the process by one tempo.)

With frustration in his heart, he kicks the floor again and tries to close the distance between him and the hydra.

On the contrary, Hydra spits rocks, fire, molten water, and black lightning from its four necks to keep me away as I approach.

I evade all of them, but this doesn't help me close the distance!

I take out the infinite gacha card from the item box again.

I watch for the right moment for Hydra to spit out an attack.

Firewall!"　Release!"

Gooooooooooooo!

Hydra is highly resistant to magic, and the "SSR Bakugou Flame" was almost ineffective.

Nevertheless, it is only a living creature, and it was startled when a wall of flames suddenly appeared in front of it. It interrupts its attack.

If only there was that split-second gap!

He closes the distance at full sprint and smashes through the wall of flame with the spear of "UR, Uragan," which has the wind attribute. He drove the spear deep into Hydra's neck.

Uragan!　Show me your power!"

As the magical power poured in, a second storm was generated inside the hydra, shredding the neck from the inside.

Since he left it like this earlier and it regenerated, he next plans to contain it with an "Infinite Gacha" card.

'Freeze the whole wound!　Ice cold!　Release!"

It targets the wound, not the scales of the hydra, but the flesh inside, and freezes it.

SSR Ice Cold.

It is a tactical class "Tactics Class" offensive magic that puts the enemy in ice.

After freezing the wound to a crisp, it kicks the enemy in the neck and moves away.

While keeping his distance, he watches to see if the shredded neck regenerates - it doesn't seem to regenerate after more than 10 seconds.

'...... Okay!　Apparently, freezing the wound will prevent it from regenerating!"

If you freeze the wound and don't let it regenerate, you can shred all the heads off.

If you use the "UR, Uragan" and "Infinite Gacha" cards of the "Fantasma Class," you can even make a level 5,000 dungeon. Even guardian monsters can be defeated!"

About a month ago, I was betrayed by a member of the "Gathering of Tribes" and could only run away from monsters. I gained confidence.

I'm going to push through this--!

Uragan!　Show me your strength!"

Ggaaaaahhh!"

He drops another Hydra head with Uragan, and immediately after releases (releases) "SSR Ice Cold" to freeze it.

Now there are seven enemy heads left.

But--

(...... I guess I'm getting tired soon. My stamina may be nearing its limit)

We have made up the approximately 2000 level difference with our prepared armors and strategies, but our opponent is a dungeon guardian monster in the lowest level of this "abyss". I am dealing with it alone.

My physical strength is not infinite. I felt that I was gradually approaching my limit.

At that moment

"Guooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

!　I'm putting rocks on my own neck, on my own wounds!"

Hydra tries to choose self-inflicted wounds to break the ice that clings to her non-regenerating neck.

Even if it temporarily expends physical and magical power, it may have decided that this is the scene for more necks.

I won't let you ......!"

I do not miss that split-second opportunity, and I thin into the hydra.

He strikes a blow to the uragan.

'Ggahgahgahgahgahgahgahgahgahgahgahgahgahgah!

Whatever the creature or monster, the heart is the source of all power.

Aiming at Hydra's heart, he releases Uragan's power.

'Kuh ......!

Master Wright!

Uragan's magical power was able to make a large hole in the enemy's torso and half destroy the heart.

But because I was too close, one of Hydra's heads, its fangs, snatched my body.

(............!)

I notice that I have a terrible cold, and my vision starts to shake jerkily, as if I've been hit by the heat.

What, I suddenly feel sick!　It's impossible. I don't train so softly that I would fall ill at this level. I couldn't figure out the cause, so I checked my status and found that it said "highly poisonous.

?　What is a deadly poison? Is this another of Hydra's special abilities ......?　I can't believe they even have this kind of lure. ......

They weaken their opponents simply by biting their fangs with a deadly poison.

Hydra is not easy to defeat because of its super regeneration.

Moreover, Hydra itself did not attack aggressively but took its time, aiming from the beginning to take away its strength by poison and other means.

But we can't lose just yet at this level!　High-level detoxification release!

The "Infinite Gacha" card, "SSR, High-level Detoxification," taken from the item box, was used to cure the poison.

Then I sprint towards the hydra. I gouge out the rest of the head and slam "UR, Uragan" into Hydra's body once more.

I had just blown out half of Hydra's heart, but the wound is slowly regenerating and healing. However, perhaps because the wound was inflicted on the central part of the body, it heals more slowly than the rest of the body.

With this, I can blow it all away!

Uragan!　Show me your strength!"

Gggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!"

The hydra, its heart blown out, screams a desperate cry.

(....... The other heads are still moving, albeit slowly!　(How sturdy are they?!)

The seven remaining heads of Hydra try to attack me.

But ...... that attack was never released forever.

"I will not allow any further disrespect to ...... Light-sama, that you ...... lizard-like creatures should get carried away!"

May frowns her willow eyebrows and lets out a sound of stifled anger.

With a flash of her arm, a thin beam of "Magic String" flashes through the air.

A moment later, Hydra's seven heads and the rest of its body are disintegrated into a dice-shaped mass of flesh.

Even Hydra, who has super regeneration, seems to die if she is reduced to a dice-shaped lump of flesh.

"Hah, hah, hah ....... Thank you, Mei ......."

I managed to defeat the hydra.

I kneel on the ground from exhaustion and breathe heavily.

(May's last attack was awesome. (Mei's last attack was amazing. She destroyed the Hydra's head in an instant, which I had struggled with. Even that was the weakest among the level 9999 or ...... impossible)

Dear Wright, it was a great fight. Here are some recovery and detoxification potions. Please drink them."

The look of anger on her face disappears like a lie, and May rushes over to her like a mother worried about her own child.

She is distracted and sits there, wobbly from exhaustion.

Like a sister caring for a doting little brother, May supports my body and gives me a recovery and detoxification potion to drink.

(Detoxification potion ...... Well, the air contained poison too. ......)

It seems that the poison was gradually released not only from the fangs, but also from the mouth and blood of the enemy. If it had been a prolonged battle, it would have surely reduced our ability to fight.

With my throat numb from the poison, I managed to recover and gulp down an antidote potion.

Even after drinking the antidote potion, the numbness does not disappear immediately.

I was too fatigued to move for a while and rested my body on Mei's large breasts and thin arms.

I told you I wouldn't do anything reckless. ......

I didn't mean to be reckless. ...... But more importantly, why wasn't the hydra poison working on May?"

Poison does not work on maids.

May assures without hesitation.

When she answered so honestly, I couldn't say anything but to agree with her, 'Maids don't work with poison, that's great.
