Episode 359
Episode 359. The Nine Hills of Lerna (3)
A chilly breeze descends across the lake.
It wasn’t a crowd.
Like a poisonous snake.
no.
In fact, there are snakes with such venom that even demigods are wary of them.
‘What the heck is this… … .’
Aren’t you looking at yourself as the ruler of this place?
What’s even more amazing is…
[Can’t you come to your senses!!]
Swoosh!
Even with the roar of the waves so strong that it made this huge lake ripple.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The giant snakes staring at him did not even move an inch.
Even if I lose my fear, it’s secondary.
If you look back and realize that they are all your children and blood relatives.
It was a truly absurd situation.
‘Definitely… … I definitely feel a bond with them!’
Even though my body was twisted like this due to the dual solvent Echidna.
Because it was the opposite.
She was able to conceive children alone.
I was able to lead so many blood relatives!
[These are really!]
Hwaaaaak!
The intense momentum pouring out with eyes wide open.
It was an aura that was full of Hydra’s unique strength.
His descendants showed no signs of movement.
A person who just made me tremble for a moment.
Like Kim Si-moon’s eyes, they have a platinum-colored glow.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Just silently staring at myself.
Within.
The cause of all this trouble.
“bite.”
The poem is recited softly.
Could it be because of the cold silence that has descended upon the entire lake?
His soft voice was heard so clearly.
surprisingly.
The descendants who were unmoved by Hydra’s chilling roar and momentum.
Slurp.
Kyaak!
Does it not show its sharp teeth, dripping venom with a menacing howl?
Hydra, who personally confirmed the obvious hostility through the bond that still continues.
[You bastard!!]
With a sharp rebuke, he opened his huge mouth wide.
Choaaaah!
And the pouring green poisonous smoke.
It was so thick that it was hard to believe that it was gas.
Wedge!
It shot straight towards Shimun.
Even without that, you would have been exposed to the Hydra’s venom for a long time.
Profit.
Anything that touches the Hydra’s venom, whether water or ground, rapidly melts away.
But even with that tremendous surge of poison.
The poem only slightly raised the corners of the lips.
The reason was simple.
“Stop it!”
“Protect the King!”
Same as the matter of the poem.
Giant snakes with platinum-colored eyes blocked his path.
Following.
Swaaaah!
Blood relatives who are hit directly by the poison that melts everything it touches, and who receive it with their whole body.
In case the poison flows out to Shimun.
Like loyal knights, they entangled their bodies with each other and received them with their whole bodies.

And yet, at the sight of my blood relatives without even the slightest impact.
“Hydra, are you really my blood relative?”
The corners of Shimun’s mouth, which was drawing a line, rose even higher.
“I can see that you are fine even after being hit directly by your poison.”
Could that have been the trigger?
[Kim Si-mu-un!!]
The Hydra’s roar grows louder and louder.
Accordingly, the lake surface also rippled violently.
Shhhhh!
The Hydra’s head, which had retreated into the lake, shot out towards the city in an instant.
Because long-range attacks that spew poison won’t work.
He probably intends to crush it directly with his overwhelming physique that is nearly 20 meters tall.
but.
“Stop it!”
“Protect the King!”
The blood relatives rush towards the Hydra, spitting out the same words as when they were blocking the poison.
To him.
[These, these… … !]
The Hydra’s head, which had been rushing forward without hesitation, flinched for a moment.
Hydra’s bloodline that did not miss that gap.
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Swish!”
They bit the Hydra’s long neck without mercy.
Especially the giant snakes that appear to be the first and second offspring are worthy of their size.
Kwajik!
He tore off chunks of Hydra flesh that were 20 meters long.
[Kkaaaak!]
Hydra lets out a sharp scream.
Could it be because of the pain of having my flesh torn off?
Or is it because of the children who don’t even dare to recognize their parents?
[You guys, how dare you!]
Hydra looking down on the third offspring, as well as the first and second, who were greater than them.
Even though he was struggling.
I couldn’t even think of easily getting rid of my children.
Unfortunately.
“Cry.”
The poem did not miss that gap.
“Astrape.”
Krrrr!
A heavy thunderclap rings out.
A thick bolt of lightning strikes down with it.
To be exact, it should be called a single-edged sword shaped like a brain.
Hydra saw this.
‘Uh, what’s that?!’
With both eyes wide open.
[No, let go! You idiots! If this continues, you too… … .]
I shouted urgently, but that was it.
The blood relatives who had their long necks cut off seemed to have no intention of falling.
Crunch.
It only added more force to the fangs embedded in his neck.
Among those tangled giant snakes.
Quatsutsut side!!
A cluster of blue brain waves descended.
* * *
Is it because of the lake condition?
Even though the storm brought by Astrape has ended.
Parts side!
Tsuchiku.
The debris keeps splashing up onto the lake.
Is it water vapor?
Or are they victims of the brainwashing of Olympus?
A spicy yet moist smoke rose gently.
In it.
Kkukkuk!
Suddenly, a sound of meat breaking comes out.
It’s coming soon.
Suddenly.
Crunch!
It began to take shape rapidly, accompanied by the sound of a fracture.
In an instant, it took on a shape that was 20 meters long.
one.
Is it only the body that has been restored?
[Ugh… … .]
A 20-meter-long giant snake groaning in pain.
Hydra shook off the brain aura that was flashing all over his body and barely opened his eyelids.
I could see it.
Cheeeeee… … .
Burnt black.
But the fragments that smell so familiar.
obviously.
‘These foolish things!’
Hydra’s emotions quickly boiled over when he saw this.
It wasn’t a crowd.
Before we even discuss the loss of all of your blood relatives in a single moment.
‘He finally stuck his teeth into me! In the end!’
How dare you disobey your parent’s orders.
Didn’t you even stick your fangs in?
Needless to say, he poured out all the venom he could.
Of course, after all, we are of the same blood.
The poison that had dug into the bitten area wasn’t even the slightest threat.
It was never a good experience to have your whole body blown away by Astraphe due to those restrictions.
That’s why.
[Kim Si-moon… … !]
The cause of all this trouble.
The anger towards the man named Kim Si-moon grew even bigger.
[This price is very generous!]
Just as I was about to pour it out.
Kiiing!
And that sharp tinnitus.
“Stop.”
A distinct, beautiful voice flows in.
OK.
Creepy.
The flesh instinctively brushes the back of the neck and stops.
Following.
Ah, warm.
Clear and refreshing sounds followed.
Unlike the brainwashing from before.
Hwaruk.
A ray of flame shoots out from the platinum palm.
Hydra saw this.
[That, that?!]
My eyes immediately opened wide.
Even though this is the situation.
Hydra, once a dragon under the command of the Second Dragon Emperor, fought in many battlefields.
[Muspelheim’s… …!]
Of course, the flames of Muspelheim.
It was impossible not to recognize that which was otherwise called the Flame of Destruction.
That Hydra didn’t even have time to be surprised.
“Rise, Levatein.”
A flame that had now become a crimson sword cut across Hydra’s neck.
It must be made of fire.
Crunch!
The head of a 20 meter tall Hydra can be split in two with ease.
together.
Hurrruk!
A cross-section split in half.
A crimson flame rose up there.
Even when the flame fell into the lake, it showed no sign of going out.
however.
The one who actually cut the Hydra’s head in two with Levatein.
“… … .”
The poet’s expression was not very bright.
The reason was simple.
‘The arena clear message doesn’t appear.’
The clear conditions mentioned by Hydra, the boss here.
The clear message did not appear due to Hydra’s own death.
This meant that Hydra was not dead after all.
As if to prove it.
Even without that, because of the fire of Levatein.
Bubbling!
The bubbling foam from the lake becomes more intense.
It looks like it might boil over at any moment.
The bubbles that had been boiling on the surface quickly spread throughout the lake.
Kurrurur.
It even started to feel like an earthquake.
Shimun kicked the air with his sword and retreated to the lakeside.
“ah…….”
I let out a small sigh.
The reason was simple.
‘The hills… … .’
A vast lake.
Eight hills that formed a spectacular shape surrounding the entire area.
They started to crack in an instant.
Kugugug… … .
A giant head began to pop out.
The head that was just split in two was nearly 20 meters long.
[You… … .]
[You… … .]
The heads rising from the eight hills boasted a size of 40 meters, twice that size.
But even more so than its enormous size.
What makes the poem even more shocking is that.
‘All the hair is different?’
The fact that each head has a different shape.
‘From Drag to Dragon Turtle, Drake to Cobran, Wyvern to Cockatrice… … .’
A dragon tribe that is at least superior in level.
The eight heads made up of them boasted a grotesqueness that was beyond disgusting.
And right in the middle of the lake.
Kugugug.
The island that existed alone split apart for the last time.
[I will never leave you alone… … .]
A head comes to mind that exudes a more eerie and menacing presence than any other head I’ve ever seen.
It wasn’t simply because it was larger than the other heads, reaching nearly 60 meters in length.
Of course, that may not be the case.
[I will devour you alive, and even your soul will be devoured!]
The dragon that serves as the base for Hydra.
Judging from the structure visible in the picture, the head of what is presumed to be a green dragon has been revealed.
Only then.
‘That’s why it was called the Nine Hills of Lerna.’
The reason why the main arena is called the ‘Nine Hills’ of Lerna.
I was able to realize anew why the clear condition was Hydra.
In the future, such a poem will be published.
Suuuuuup.
Even in a past life.
And the unique long breathing that we have seen in this life continues.
Dragon Breath.
One of the greatest powers granted to the Dragon Clan began to take shape.
That too.
Swish… … .
Sigh… … .
Together with eight different heads.
The poem is immediately in possession, drawing up all the strength.
Kiiing!
“Stop. Stop. Ra!”
The issue was triggered at full power, but that was it.
[Kuhahaha! Do you feel like the King’s eyes are omnipotent?]
The Hydra, charging its breath, laughs earnestly.
[I can tell just by looking at it. Up until now, through the King’s eyes, he has been toying with our dragon tribe as he pleased.]
He was sarcastically taking it easy.
[This incarnated body is different. I will show you the difference in class!]
Woohoo!
The breath, which had been concentrated to its limit, began to emit a dangerous tinnitus.
And then.
[Please… I hope you stay alive.]
With sincere concern.
Kwaaaa …
A shooting green breath.
This is followed by a whopping eight breaths.
Following.
‘Tsk. Can’t help it?’
The hand of the poet who clicked his tongue.
Ssuk.
Ending by seeping into the void.
Kwaaaa …
Nine huge beams of light blasted out.
* * *
Kugggggggggggg!
A huge lake.
And beyond that, the entire swamp trembles incessantly.
Perhaps the entire Lerna, the stage of the main arena, might have been shaken.
As if to prove this.
Profit.
Thud.
As if a meteor had hit.
A crater the size of a small city appears through the thick dust.
Isn’t it just boasting general destructive power?
As a crater was created right next to the lakeshore.
The lake water should have poured into it.
Swaaaah… … .
As if blocked by an invisible barrier.
The lake waters did not even dare to approach the crater where the dragon’s breath blasted.
In that strange shape.
[Kuuuuu!]
All nine giant heads raise the corners of their mouths in a smirk.
It wasn’t a crowd.
Dragon Breath, one of the greatest blessings of the Dragon Clan.
Even the power of the nine of them was so great that even he could feel it himself.
Within.
[Hmm?]
Nine heads, each with its own unique shape, wiggle their eyes like boulders.
Is that all?
[Ah, no… … .]
The waves that originated from the eyes soon spread throughout all nine heads.
soon.
[How is this!]
It was revealed with a feeling of shock.
It can’t be helped.
Dragon Breath.
Wasn’t that a situation where as many as nine breaths were poured out at once?
But.
The target of the breath is actually.
[How! How on earth are you okay!]
Because I was standing in the middle of the crater without losing a single strand of hair.
At least.
“Coolook!”
Only the gushing blood indicated that the breath had hit.
Considering that he was hit by nine Dragon Breaths, the damage was so minimal.
[Answer!!]
The Hydra’s nine faces were distorted horribly.
Within.
‘for a moment…….’
One change entered Hydra’s distorted vision.
Even without that, he was wearing platinum scales like armor.
Aren’t today’s poets wearing real armor, including helmets?
Crunch.
I heard the sound of metal coming from that armor.
[that!]
Hydra could tell.
The distant past.
During the Dragon God War with Echidna, the second dragon queen and godmother of the dragon tribe.
The vanguard of Valhalla, who ran wild at the very front lines.
[B, Brunhild’s armor?!]
That it was the armor used by the constellation Brunhild.
