Chapter 368: Aquas´s Great Waterfall and Hydra

Chapter 368: Aquas ́s Great Waterfall and Hydra

I heard that Aquas Waterfall can be reached by land, so we headed there by land. The members are Setia, Ix, Nowa, Kurogane and Dian. Hydra for Hydra, I suppose.

What is needed to defeat a hydra is accurate shooting at the main body, firepower and countermeasures against poison. This is why I have chosen them as the members of the team.

We walked and soon arrived at the site. After buffing and food buffing, we were ready to go. Dian went into the water of the waterfall and Hydra appeared from the waterfall.

Hydra?

? ? ?

Hydra appeared and suddenly used a deadly poison breath.

"Kurogane!"

Kurogane provokes and receives the deadly poison breath.

"Nowa!"

"...N! Shadow Binding!"

Hydra stops moving.

"Ix!"

"Energy Blaster, fire!"

The Hydra, thinking it was decided, fires a deadly poison breath that hits the energy blaster and antagonizes it. Another head aims a deadly poison breath at Nowa, but Dian uses the same deadly poison breath to protect Nowa.

The head in the center has to be taken down quickly, but Setia can't find the right spot to aim. The only thing standing in the way is...that head.

"Kurogane, blow the second head from the left. Setia, you have one chance"

"Yes! I'll make it happen!"

Kurogane hits the head I told him to with a rocket punch and Setia immediately takes aim with a magic arrow.

"Strike Shot!"

Setia's arrow hits the central head and the deadly poison breath stops. Then, Ix's energy blaster obliterated the central head. Hydra screams as the central head is blown off.

However, Nowa's shadow binding is released and Ix falls.

"...Limit"

"I've run out of energy..."

"Good work...Nowa, Ix"

As I said that, an angry Hydra attacked. Then Dian intercepts it. They bit each other, but Dian was hit one-sidedly, perhaps because he had just evolved.

But Dian's central head is intact, so the other heads revive and attack again. In the meantime, I will evacuate Ix and use Entrust on Nowa. It helps that I can use the staff techniques even if I can't use magic.

"Can you make it? Nowa"

"...N. Resurrection.

Hydra also has super regeneration. In fact, even if Dian bites it, he won't be allowed to do any damage to it in the middle of the day. But there's no more resurrection of the head, so if we can reduce the heads for sure, we win.

"Setia, use your lightning magic arrows to block the Hydra's movement"

"Yes"

"Nowa, you'll use dark wave motion to reduce the number of heads for sure"

"...N"

Setia rains lightning magic arrows with arrow rain, aiming for paralysis. The heads aim at Setia, but Kurogane uses provocation to change the aim.

Then, Nowa's dark wave motion hits the paralyzed head. Now there are three heads left.

"Entrust! Nowa!"

"...N! Dark Wave Motion!"

Nowa's dark wave motion is released in rapid succession, obliterating the heads. That's two. At this point, Dian's advantage was unassailable. Dian attacked with two heads against the opponent's one head and the head in the center was obliterated by a deadly poisonous breath.

But Dian's magic power was just barely enough. I restored his magic power with an MP potion and used Entrust on Dian. With this, I guessed we had won.

I thought it was over when Dian took down the last head, but to my surprise, Hydra was still challenging me to a fight even though it was left with only its body and tail. I don't know what kind of logic it uses to stay alive, but I admire Hydra for not stopping fighting even when it looks like this. So I will do everything in my power to defeat it!

I hold up my staff and Setia holds up her bow. Kurogane gets into rocket punch position and all the heads of Dian suck in their breath.

"Magic Javelin!"

"Arrow Rain!"

My magic javelin pierces the Hydra and Setia's explosive arrows rain down, exploding one after another. Kurogane's rocket punches hit the Aquas Waterfall. The Hydra was silenced by Dian's five deadly poison breaths.

I was wary that I had really defeated it, but I let my guard down when the infos came in.

The level of Love Summoner has increased. You have gained status points 2pt

The level of Love Summoner has increased. You have gained skill points 1pt

Kuroganes level has reached 24. Evolution is possible

Level up is coming here...now I have 22 skill points left. I put all my status points into strength.

And hey...Kurogane's evolution came first. If I could, I would have let Chess evolve first, but I guess it can't be helped. It's clear how much I'm relying on Kurogane.

I'm going to dismantle first, leaving evolution for later. I took out the Arkwyrm, approached the Hydra and dismantled it. Here is what I got.

Hydra Skin: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B

A skin that contains the power of stars and water. It is a mysterious material that can be repaired with time even if it is damaged. It is a very expensive material and is popular as a material for robes and grimoires because of its compatibility with magic power.

Hydra Fang: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B

A fang that possesses the power of stars and water. It is a lethal poison, making it a very vicious material. It is popular as a material for bows and arrows and spears due to its size.

Sapphire: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B

A beautiful blue gemstone that possesses the power of water. It is mainly used as a material for staff.

Oops, I can even get sapphire. I think this is the first time to get a jewel from a monster drop. Moreover, I got it not as a rough gem but as a processed gem. I am very happy.

I also got the hydra skin without incident. If I hadn't gotten it, I would have had to go around Hydra...to be honest, it's not an enemy I can go around.

The Hydra fang is a bonus, but it is still a lethal poison material...legend has it that Hydra poison is used in arrows...I'm not sure what to do with it. It's covered with the fangs of the tyrant taipan. I will consult with Setia and Hephaestus to decide.

The moment the dismantling was finished and Hydra disappeared. Behind the waterfall, I saw the emblem of the constellation Hydra. Is that the same one as the one on the Minotaur...huh? But I already defeated Hydra.

Then I thought to myself. To be honest, Hydra is very different from the legend. Perhaps it gets closer to the legend as it evolves.

In other words, there is a high possibility that there is an evolved Hydra beyond that...okay, let's pretend I didn't see it and go to Kuroganes evolution.
