Chapter 1444: Fake vs Real
Hilo stayed silent for a while and considered the technique that Rain had just used... it seemed like just a simple water magic attack that didn’t give the target a chance to defend itself or dodge since it came from all directions. Even so, his minions were pretty good copies of the first dragons... no normal attacks would have damaged them that easily, so it was clear that there was more to it than it meets the eye.
After not so long, Hilo made another part of himself leave his body and this one was particularly pretty big. It soon assumed the shape of a hydra as well... the exact same shape of the dragon god that Rain had seen a while ago.
"Despite his demeanor, it seems that he knows a thing or two to stir his enemies," Elisabetha said.
Now that Rain thought about it... It seemed that these creatures were specifically crafted to counter people like Elisabetha, who possessed formidable skills in dealing with dragons. However, Rain found himself puzzled by a troubling thought: how could the machine gods, including Hilo, be aware of Elisabetha’s existence?
Elisabetha, with her unparalleled prowess in combatting dragons, was a relatively obscure figure in the grand scheme of things. Her exploits were known only to a select few, and her presence was not widely recognized outside of certain circles. The notion that the machine gods could be aware of her existence and tailor their creations to counter her abilities seemed unlikely, if not impossible.
The realization left Rain grappling with a sense of unease and uncertainty. If the machine gods were indeed aware of Elisabetha’s existence, it raised troubling questions and other possibilities.
In the next moment, the fake hydra opened its mouth, and then bombarded Rain with numerous beams of elemental energy... the air began to vibrate with all that power echoing around. Rain used Impulse to the side, but a beam of fire followed him while a lightning beam approached from the opposite direction. At the same time, an ice beam began to create a cage from which he couldn’t escape, and it was dozens of meters thick...
Before things could get too complicated, Rain put his hands together and tried to destroy the heads of the creatures, but dark shields blocked his attack and completely erased the projectiles of his technique...
"That is the power of void, I guess..." Rain thought. "Should I try a bit harder and show some tricks too?"
Before Rain could decide that, one of the heads of the hydra suddenly summoned a dark Barrier around him, and then his body stopped moving altogether... it was a gravity trap that completely stopped him.
While Rain was trying to free himself, the heads of the hydra were put together and then opened their minds and began to charge their next attack... the atmosphere began to tremble and shake in response, and Rain was unable to move a single finger. Eventually, all of the heads attacked...
The massive Cannon of magic was a mix of all elemental magic added with the power of corruption... dark flames, dark steel, dark ice, purple lightning bolts... all of them hit Rain at the same time, and then a massive explosion took place in the dimension and made it shake for quite a while.
