Chapter 2167 Godly Battle 2

The battle raged on as the nine-headed nightmare hydra rampaged through Faulen City. In just half an hour, the godly beast had already laid waste to a quarter of the city, its destructive power unstoppable. Millions of terrified civilians fled the devastation, their once peaceful home now a warzone.

Despite the rising death toll, the viceroy's orders were clear: no lethal means were to be used. The priority was to restrain the Godly beast, not to kill it, in an effort to minimize harm to their patriarch. For the viceroy, the safety of the patriarch far outweighed the mortal lives and destruction caused. This directive placed an immense burden on balancing the need to subdue the beast while protecting themselves and their city.

The main defenders, the colossal Jormungand serpent and the Faulen general in his giant form fought valiantly. The Jormungand's scales shimmered darkly as it coiled and struck, attempting to hold the hydra in place. The general slammed his fists into the hydra's heads, trying to prevent it from advancing further into the city. Yet, despite their best efforts, they were continuously pushed back by the hydra's relentless assault.

Each of the hydra's nine heads moved with terrifying precision, blasting powerful energy beams and snapping at anything within reach. The ground shook with each clash, buildings crumbled, and the air was filled with the deafening roars of the battling Titans.

The formation masters, led by the Shaman Queen, were desperately trying to reform the protective barrier. Pillars of light shot up into the sky, and massive runes glowed beneath the hydra, attempting to lock it in place. However, the beast's immense size made it difficult to maintain the formation. Each time the barrier began to solidify, the hydra's heads would coordinate their attacks, shattering the magic with combined blasts.

Seeing the corpses of Faulen citizens strewn around him, the three cosmos general decided to unleash his cosmic power. With a mighty roar, he pushed the beast back half a mile, creating a temporary reprieve. However, his triumph was short-lived as one of the hydra's heads spewed a poisonous breath, engulfing him in toxic fumes. Another head swiftly coiled around his body, lifting him into the air and strangling him with crushing force.

Witnessing the dire situation, an elderly grand magus, the oldest among the Faulen elders, soared into the sky. A spirit master with a close connection to the patriarch, he decided to confront the beast directly. His voice echoed across the battlefield as he cried out,

"My Lord, please stop!!"

Channeling his spirit energy, he launched a powerful mental attack, forcing one of the hydra's heads to release the struggling general. However, the hydra's response was immediate and brutal. Multiple serpent heads lunged at him simultaneously. The old elder deftly dodged the first two attacks, his agility belying his age. But then a third head unleashed a frozen blast, striking him squarely and freezing his movements. As he struggled to recover, a fourth head closed in, its jaws wide open to devour him whole.

BAMMM!!! BAMM!!! BAMM!!

Each strike of lightning sent shockwaves through the battlefield, momentarily staggering the hydra. Its heads thrashed wildly, but the relentless assault continued. Answering the viceroy's call, the other grand magus joined in, unleashing their high-tier spells with unyielding fury.

The Kruk King stepped forward, his eyes glowing with fiery determination. He chanted an incantation, summoning a tier 8 spell [Meteor Flames]. From the sky, burning rocks rained down, crashing upon the hydra from above. The impact was immense, each fiery meteor exploding on contact, engulfing the beast in flames.

Not willing to be left out, Cornelius the Targaryen King took to the skies. His body spun in a quick, graceful rotation as he called upon the winds. A powerful twister formed around him, its force pulling debris and loose objects into its swirling vortex. With a blade spear in hand, Cornelius dived towards the hydra, his speed increasing as he descended. He unleashed a tier 8 wind slash, the sheer force of the attack creating a sharp, cutting wind that cleaved through one of the hydra's heads.

SPLATTT!!!

Another serpent head was severed, crashing to the ground with a thunderous impact. The hydra's roar of pain and fury echoed through the city, its remaining heads lashing out in a frenzied attack. Poisonous clouds, icy blasts, and scorching flames erupted from its mouths, targeting the defenders with relentless aggression.

The chaos was terrifying to the Faulen citizens, yet it also brought them a flicker of hope. The powerful grand magus had seemingly gained the upper hand in stopping the massive hydra. However, their relief was short-lived. Just seconds later, dread returned as they witnessed the two decapitated heads starting to regrow. With such a regeneration rate, the battle seemed far from over. Their anxiety grew as the grand magus were interrupted by a sudden emergence of power from below the ground. The intensity of this new force caused an immediate reaction among the defenders. "What is that?! Another beast?!" The surge of power attracted the attention of the Ouroboros Queen, who had successfully restrained the inhuman grand magus before her inside a crystal of ice. Her icy eyes narrowed as she focused on the source of the power surge emanating from the secret tunnel. Determined to get answers, she used her domination power to force the truth out of the man trapped within the ice.

"What is that?! What else are you hiding down there!?" The inhuman grand magus, beaten half to death by the Queen, chuckled through his pain. "That is not us... hahaha... that young magus... this is even better," he taunted, his laughter echoing ominously in the chamber.

Not willing to be toyed with, the Ouroboros Queen decided to force her way into his mind to extract the truth. However, as soon as she made the connection, the grand magus' body exploded into a mass of goo. To her surprise, the goo began to rush toward the tunnel in a desperate attempt to flee.

"You dare to run!!" she roared her voice a chilling command that echoed throughout the tunnel.

Swiftly, she cast multiple spells, ice and frost cascading from her hands to freeze as much of the fleeing goo as possible. Despite her best efforts, a small portion of the goo managed to slip past her defenses and escape deeper into the tunnel.
