Chapter 654: Hydra (2)
When their preparations were finished, Billy was the first one to fall as fast as he could using Telekinesis. When he touched the ground, even before the first hydra could notice him, Billy's Mana Constructs Spears hit the head of the nearest enemy while spinning violently. He knew that he was going to face some resistance, but not that much…
"That is what I get from trying to save energy for the long run…" Billy thought and then increased his speed by three times.
All of a sudden, the spears began to spin a lot faster and the monster started to gush from the wounds of the first hydra. The monster contorted in pain, but it was unable to make a lot of noise due to the pain in its head, so not many monsters were warned of Billy's arrival. The beast eventually died, but soon, three others hydras noticed Billy's presence and readied their heads to attack.
You obtained 10.000 experience points.
The skill Mana Constructs obtained 5.000 experience points.
The skill Acceleration Manipulation obtained 5.000 experience points.
…
"At least this will be great for grinding," Billy thought.
When Billy saw the mouths of the three Hydras nearby opening, he ignored them and focused on his next target. He did the right thing even though he could tell that he couldn't trust that much on Icarus that often, and it would be bad for his heart…
Regardless, Icarus ran around the area in the split of a second. He punched all the heads of those two Hydras and then forced them to stop their attacks. It gave Lucyna and Meryl enough time to land and Billy the chance to target the remaining monster. The third hydra tried to fight back by using Regen while its head was being damaged, but that didn't work since Billy increased his speed again.
Meryl made the two Hydras emerge as zombies, and while they lost half of their power as well, at the very least, they could be used as shields.
A few Hydras approached and then made a line to attack Billy's group with a massive barrage of spells, but once again, Icarus stopped them. He wasn't going easy on the mana since he didn't fail at punching the enemies and preventing their attacks, so Billy knew that he had to do at least that much.
"It would have been a lot easier if they weren't that resistant to elemental magic…" Billy thought while using his Mana Constructs spears.
With the two Hydras on their sides, Meryl began to control them and tried to force all the heads to use Thunder Beam and Ice Breath. However, only two of the nine heads could use them.
"I guess their heads have different colors because they can
only use a single spell," Billy thought.
Just like most forest snakes, the monster had a green body, but their heads and the scales on their heads were like dragons. Red, blue, brown, light green, dark, white, purple, yellow, and gray. It was weird to see such a colorful monster…
Without many other choices, Meryl decided to use the heads that could be used together and do some crowd control. Using the ice and thunderhead to stop one monster in the place while causing damage. Using the brown and the red ones to create a powerful blast of wind, sand, and fire that could make even the hydras feel like they were being cooked alive.
Eventually, Meryl also used Poison Breath, Mana Cannon, and Gravity Beam to cause some damage. Still, those were less effective since the level of the skills also decreased with the zombies, and they caused more damage over time than anything.
When the group had five hydras on their side, it became impossible to not be noticed by the enemies. Moreover, Billy jumped on the head of one of the zombies and saw the massive sea of endless enemies around. That even didn't look like a dungeon anymore. The hydras could easily be fifty meters tall, long, and wide, and they still could be put close to each other making a line of ten or so of them. The ceiling was line one kilometer above as well. So, it looked like a dungeon made for giants.
"Icarus won't be able to stop this many enemies all the time…" Billy thought and then sighed.
As much as it was annoying to admit, that wasn't a battle that they could win by relying solely on themselves… not with the limited amount of time that they had. With that in mind, Billy made his choice, and he summoned a monster…

The area immediately got a lot more chilly when the frost hyd
ra appeared. At first, Billy's allies thought that a new monster had spawned, but then they saw Billy jumping over the beast and landing on one of its white heads. It didn't take long for the beast to open its mouth and then began to freeze the enemy monsters on the spot…
"I was expecting this much considering that I used half a million mana points…" Billy thought. "Still, this guy's power level is essentially the same as the other hydras, so how come the dungeon cores can summon this many beasts that cost this much mana?"
At first, Billy thought that even in that world of magic, logic was prevalent, but he was starting to think that logic was only applicable to some things…
