Hydra rarely used all his curses because it was the same as counting death.
But he still did it here anyway because he was called to this place, and since he was summoned here for a purpose...
How could he back down?
After killing so many Valkyries, he should also be able to advance his power.
As long as he survived this war.
Hydra dragged his tattered snake body, clenched his jaw, and tried not to collapse on the spot.
He still had the seventh curse, the last curse that he had to use on these Valkyries!
As for the rest of the Valkyries...
Hydra believed that the little tiger had a plan for them.
To be honest, there were still a scattered number of low-level and mid-level Valkyries, and they should still be able to overwhelm Code-L if she fought alone.
But Hydra didn't know why....he trusted this little brat who wasn't even a legendary beast yet and wasn't an original legendary beast.
Maybe she's loved by heaven, and thus, she could create miracles.
Let's trust the little tiger and fight to death!
Hydra finally used his last curse, and the finale that completed his cycle of life curse that came from every living being's stage of life—
The curse of death.
No one could escape death. Not even those with super long life spans or even those who could be revived such as the blood clan members.
The blood clan could indeed live forever by relying on their physique to be revived through a drop of blood, but it didn't mean they couldn't die.
Before they were resurrected, the blood clan members could die of various reasons, such as being killed or dying of old age.
After all, the blood clan's true lifespan was only about a few thousand years, but after they died of old age, as long as they preserved their blood, they could be revived and naturally live another few thousand years of lifespan.
Even for such a cheat-like existence, death was still unavoidable, and they couldn't really dodge death.
If anything, the blood clan members only cheated death by relying on their special physique.
The curse of death was Hydra's trump card and also the one that he used the most in a lot of fights.
Compared to the curse of love, that had varied effects, and the target might not even die, or the curse of time that required a lot of energy to use....
The curse of death was simply more cost-effective and yielded the most result than the other two high-tier curses.
Once the target got this curse, no matter if they could purify the curse or not, they would still die in the end.
Unless they could be revived and cheat death, just like the blood clan members.
But Hydra didn't believe that the Valkyries could do this because usually, the act of resurrection leaned more towards the dark camp's technique than the light camp's.
It was a pity that in order to use this last curse...Hydra had to use the first six curses in a chronological order because this curse was the finale and the seal of the complete Life Cycle Curse.
It was because of this that Hydra had to use all the first six curses and used up a lot of energy, leaving only the energy he absorbed from the victims who died because of his curse.
To use the last curse more effectively, Hydra called back all the first six curses he left out there because these curses still sucked his energy!
The various curses were called back and for a moment, the Valkyries could finally sighed in relief.
Unfortunately, after Hydra swallowed back the curses, he regained the energy he lost through the energy of the victims that died at the hand of these curses.
These curses were like a parasite, and Hydra was the mother parasite.
He could produce the parasite, and let them eat outside, but he could also swallow back his 'children' to digest their harvest.
Cruel? Not really. These curses didn't really have a life, after all—just another type of parasite-like thing.
After Hydra swallowed the curses, he didn't let the Valkyries breathe a sigh of relief for too long and immediately opened his seventh mouth, the one at the top right.
The moment Hydra opened his mouth, the skull symbol on his seventh head's forehead began to glow in a creepy light.
Then, pitch black and dark fog started to come out of Hydra's bloody mouth, forming grim reapers with scythes one after another.
If anything, these reapers created of the black fog looked like the Dementor from Harry Potter or whatever the name.
The fog grim reapers move fast because their bodies are light, almost weightless.
And when these people approached the Valkyries, the surviving high-level Valkyries at the frontline immediately used their swords to try slashing the unknown enemy to pieces.
At least they could see their enemy this time, unlike the fifth and the sixth curse back then.
If they could see the enemy, it would be easy to kill it!
Unfortunately, this black fog wasn't an ordinary fog with a mass and a real entity because this fog was just the aura of death.
Death itself....had no form, no signs, whatsoever.
The grim reapers were really just the visual effect of death itself.
And unfortunately, whoever could see or saw these grim reapers means that their souls were already targeted, and no matter what...
They would die.
The Valkyries could protect their souls from being taken away or something, just like what the celestials did when facing the grim reapers from the Underworld.
But this grim reaper still had a difference from the one in the Underworld.
