– The power of ‘Fire Storm’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
To deal with Hydra’s poison breath, Seun chose fire magic, Fire Storm.
This is because I knew from the myths I read in the Great Library before returning that the guy’s poison was weak to fire.
Fortunately, Seun’s knowledge was right on target, and the breath that filled his vision collided with the flames and burned like gas.
“Just hold on for a moment~”
While Seun was blocking the breath, Arcana took this opportunity to dodge the breath and ran to the side.
Ruin also nodded at Seun’s gaze and ran towards the other side.
“But you are my senior, so I can’t miss out on the opportunity you gave me.”
Crunch.
A giant scythe cut off the Hydra’s head.
Blood gushed out as bones and muscles were revealed through the cleanly cut sections, but that only lasted for a moment.
A new head grew out of the gap between the sections, bulging as if a bubble had burst.
No, it was trying to grow. Until Arcana placed a bright red card over the cross-section.
Hurrah!
“Krrrrrrrrr!”
“Kaaaak, kraak!”
Hot flames burned from the cards attached to the cross-section, preventing the head from regenerating.
This strategy is known as the most standard way to deal with Hydra.
The Hydra, unable to regenerate due to the flames, stopped breathing and let out a loud noise.
in between.
Kwajik!
Ruin, who had returned to the other side, also bit off one of Hydra’s heads.
However, instead of completely tearing off or splitting the head with its claws as usual, it chewed the neck and head like a herbivore eating grass.
Through Seun’s will and Arcana’s actions, he learns that he should not tear off the head, and crushes it so that it cannot regenerate.
‘Is it because of the play?’
If it was the previous Ruin, it would not have been seen like that unless Seun gave a separate order.
I don’t know if it was because of playing with Arcana or because his intelligence grew as his stigmata grew, but Ruin has definitely grown.
And, once Breath stopped, Seun didn’t stay still either.
‘Condensing the magic.’
The formula for the firestorm that was being spurted forward was modified and placed in Durangdal.
If it were a normal weapon, it might have exploded without being able to withstand the magic just by this process, but Durandal didn’t do that.
The rock-splitting sword, Durandal.
As its nickname suggests, its high durability allowed it to withstand not only the opponent’s attacks but also internal forces, making it the weapon best suited for Seun.
‘Bend.’
– Through internal energy, the Jay style of Jaha Sword’s Flower Rain Fan Shape is strengthened.
– According to the secret of Jahashin Gong, heat is added to the martial arts.
Kwaruruk!
The 7th circle magic, Fire Storm, is added to the hot heat of Jaha Sword.
The Hydra’s entire body is engulfed in purple flames as it groans in agony with its heads cut off and crushed on both sides.
“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Craaaaak!”
“Kyar-”
If it was just shooting out flames, it would be no different from enhanced magic.
However, the attack Seun has just launched is a combination of martial arts and magic.
Hidden among the hot flames was a dark energy made of hot air.
As the Hydra was engulfed in flames, a rustling sound was heard and the Hydra’s roaring ceased.
The seven shadows that had been writhing in the flames suddenly broke off and fell down.
“It’s hot~ Aren’t you going too strong from the start?”
“It’s better to end it right away than to drag it out for no reason.”
“That’s your style~”
“If we waste time fighting Hydra, it will become a nuisance.”
“Yeah, right?”
A flame that burns without cooling down.
He hoped that this flame would burn Hydra’s entire body and bring an end to the battle, but the only thing left in the flames was a long shadow, and it shattered Seun’s hopes.
“CRACK CRACK CRACK!!”
A loud noise, loud enough to make your eardrums vibrate, instantly put out the flames.
What was revealed inside were eight necks that had been severed and were hanging limply, and a single head with its skin charred black and its green pupil shining clearly.
‘Immortal head.’
It is said that eight of the Hydra’s heads continue to grow back no matter how many times they are cut off, and that one head never dies.
In other words, the head you see now is the head of the immortal.
Of course, it would be impossible for it to achieve perfect immortality unless it was a real Hydra, but it was thought to be strong enough to rival immortality.
“careful!”
– Kroong!
I don’t know what he’ll do, so I’ll keep my distance for now.
However, the guy’s subsequent counterattack was not directed at Seun or Arcana.

Splash!
The guy opens his mouth wide and roughly bites the severed head right next to it.
Ruin seemed bewildered by the sudden self-harm, and Seun immediately realized the reason and shouted at Arcana.
“Stop it!”
Seun and Arcana’s attacks poured out simultaneously towards Hydra.
However, the Hydra’s head self-harmed faster than the two who had been standing a step apart to prepare for the attack could reach it.
“Kraaaaak!”
“Kyaaaaah!”
Two heads grew out of the torn neck in an instant and blocked Seun and Arcana.
Meanwhile, another neck was torn off, and two new heads grew through the rough cut.
“It’s more difficult than I thought.”
“Okay~”
After exchanging blows with the Hydra’s head several times, the creature’s head had doubled in size.
From the eight heads, two more heads grew, and when combined with the original head, there were seventeen heads, with pupils shining towards Seun and Arcana.
Soon after, new events began to occur.
“That’s… … .”
The head cut off by Seun and Arcana, and part of the neck torn off by Hydra itself.
The things that had been lying on the floor began to move and take shape.
“That seems beyond the capabilities of Hydra that I know of, doesn’t it?”
“so do i.”
Every time a neck is cut off, two new necks grow in its place.
That’s the extent of the Hydra legend, there was no mention of a severed body part being reborn as another life form.
And above all, the energy felt from the cut off area.
It was the same feeling I had when I opened the wall with the universal key and came in.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ reminds us not to forget that it is the guardian created by lust.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, says that the longer time drags on, the more dangerous it will become.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, is excited to have his food copied.
That is to say, that is one of the powers of lust.
The fallen fragments were soon reborn as a small hydra.
It was small in size and had only one head, so it seemed more appropriate to call it a snake, but its characteristic venom was still there.
“Kyaaaa!”
“Shhh-”
A Hydra with twice as many heads and eight more Hydras born from the severed heads.
The number of enemies that increased in an instant all attacked Seun and Arcana at once.
– The power of ‘Fire Storm’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Seun uses his magic once again to block the guy’s poison breath.
The newly born Hydras tried to take advantage of the gap while Seun was using his magic, but… … .
“These things are annoying.”
– Kwang!
Kwajik!
Arcana and Ruin protected Seun.
However, if things continue like this, there will be no end.
Just in case, the Hydras born from the fragments were also reborn as two Hydras each time they split.
If things continue this way, I feel like this entire area will be filled with Hydras.
“In the end, I guess I’ll have to cut off the head in the middle.”
“Is there any way to cut off an immortal head?”
“It’s not a real Hydra, so it can’t have the power of immortality.”
Immortality was a power granted only to gods, who were called transcendent beings.
Of course, there were monsters like the Hydra that had the power of immortality, but even those were only real monsters from mythology.
Even if it was a release, it would never have given Hydra such an ability.
That head was strong enough to appear immortal, but the chances of it being truly immortal were very slim.
“Then I believe you’ll take care of it and we’ll just deal with the small stuff~”
“please.”
Seun stopped the magic.
Then, Arcana threw forward a bundle of red cards with a clover pattern on them.
Hurrruk!
The flames from the card stopped the Hydra.
Blocks poison breath and burns small hydras.
Although it cannot compare to the power of magic used by Seun, he is able to deal with Hydra splendidly through selection and concentration.
Indeed, the experience worthy of a former ranker stood out.
Meanwhile, Seun extended his back to the moon and unleashed the power of greed.
– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[Incarnation of the King of the Underworld, the Gurigara Sword]
– It is a sword held in the right hand of Acala. The sword body is adorned with flames and the Dragon King Gurigara, an incarnation of Acala.
A blazing black dragon coils above the Durandal.
Let’s cast some fire magic on it, and the already hot flames will burn even more fiercely.
“Ruin, break through.”
– I understand, my master!
Seun and Ruin jump forward at the same time.
Could it be because he had already been hit by the same method? As soon as Hydra misses Seun, it opens its mouth wide and spits out poisonous breath.
“Let’s go quickly. My strength isn’t that good for long-term battles~”
Hurrah!
A red card that has flown in properly burns in front of Seun and blocks his breath.
Se-un nodded and ran towards him. A hydra’s head came crashing down in front of him, but Ruin threw his body to push the head away and bit off the heads that kept coming towards him.
‘This technology is still a burden, though.’
A combination of the power of greed, magic, and martial arts.
It was still a burdensome technique for my normal body that didn’t use the power of sloth, but I couldn’t waste time against Hydra.
Still, I had to raise my head while conserving my strength as much as possible because I had to encounter the Demon of Lust right after.
Boom!
One of Hydra’s heads crashes into the spot where Seun was.
The newly grown head has an ego, but it spares no effort to protect its body rather than its own life.
The Hydra already has more than twenty heads.
It is no longer a situation that Ruin can stop on his own.
– Kroong!
However, Ruin somehow manages to get in Seun’s way by puffing up his body.
Thanks to that, Seun was able to run forward without being hindered, and he ran even further forward by riding on the head of the Hydra that had just attacked him.
“Kyaarararak!”
Hydra’s body swayed like waves in an attempt to shake off Seun, but it was unable to shake off Seun, who was running at it using even its internal energy.
Seun, who had been running along the neck in an instant, comes face to face with the Hydra’s middle neck.
“Clara… … .”
Although they couldn’t communicate verbally, there was clear disdain in the eyes looking down at Se-woon.
Seun faced that guy straight in the eye and gripped his sword tightly.
– The sword that splits the rock, Durangdal, bursts out the energy of the sleeping Dragon King in the ‘Gurigara Sword’.
– The flames of the black dragon are recreated through the ‘Gurigara Sword’.
The head of a hydra, with its mouth wide open and oozing venom, approaches to devour Seun.
The black dragon that was wrapped around Seun’s sword stands up and emits a black flame.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The head of the Hydra known as the Immortal clashed with Seun’s sword, filling the cavity with a blazing heat.
