Chapter 396: The Hydra (Part 2)
With a new plan in mind, Vespera and I kept fighting the giant hydra in the center of the city, where we had to stay frantically flying around the area so the monster’s attacks wouldn’t get us.
Chaos had enveloped the entire city, and while I could use my "search" spell to get a rough idea of my team’s locations, there was so much happening that it was a bit overwhelming.
Moreover, we still needed to test our hypothesis about the burning of the hydra’s necks since we would have to come up with a new idea if it failed.
At one point, Vespera moved to the monster’s right side and caught the attention of the poison head, which shot a torrent of green, dense smoke from its mouth at my companion.
However, I knew better than anyone else that Vespera was immune to any type of poison, so she just stood in the center of the attack to bait the hydra.
With the other heads tracking my movement, I quickly flew around the monster and targeted his poison head, using wind magic to propel myself toward it.
When I was getting closer, the fire head from the center appeared beside me with its gaping mouth open, making me spin to the side to avoid getting eaten.
By the time I was mere centimeters away, the poison head stopped shooting Vespera, noticing that my companion was still standing in the same spot as if nothing happened.
’Good distraction...’ I thought, using my adamantite sword to fuse it with phoenix fire.
