Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 544: Crazy Head

The heads of Regeneration and Immortality almost tied each other in knots chasing after Zach like donkeys after a carrot. Zach was a little confused about two things.

He was surviving much easier than he had thought he would. Outrunning, zig-zagging, and dodging the two heads was going almost too well. He had enough time to think about useless things, including the other thing he was curious about.

Why was the other head, the head with a crown-like pattern of bronze scales and piercing red eyes, just looking at him? It could only be the head of Usurpation with the way it looked. Shouldn't that be the most proactive one?

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Did it recognize its power of Usurpation within him? Did it recognize him as a descendant or something?

For now, Zach could only stay wary and keep moving toward the base of the closest neck. As he did so, he glanced up and toward Yanael's fight.

She was deftly flying through the air. The tip of her upper left wing was a little singed from the Hydra's fire. The one below it was dripping with poison, and dying feathers kept falling down.

But the head of Fire had lost an eye, and the head of poison had lost a large fang that was now lodged in the ground, filling the thirtieth floor with poison. Yanael's injuries were light in comparison.

The two heads had also yet to show any signs of regenerating, which was good.

Yanael's sword cut through another torrent of poisonous fire as she dove forward. She dashed forward, aiming for the head of Wind. She wanted to whittle all of the heads down and keep their attention on her.

However, from seemingly out of nowhere, the head with the Hydra's unknown ninth power crashed into her side, sending her tumbling through the air.

Zach frowned. Why hadn't Yanael dodged that?

Zach was confident that even he, if put in the exact same situation, would have been able to dodge that fourth head's charge. It wasn't faster than any of the other heads, it didn't use a blind spot, and it wasn't invisible.

But Yanael acted like she hadn't even seen the head until it was right beside her.

Something was up with that head. There was probably a good reason why no one knew the power it contained.

It was risky, but Zach decided to make that head his target. If it turned on him, he might learn why Yanael hadn't reacted to it before it was too late. If it didn't, he would have a free punching bag to vent all his frustration on.

Zach traced the head and neck to find which of the eight bases belonged to it, but he had to stop for a second and look again. He was suddenly confused.

There were only eight heads and eight necks, and all of them were enormous. It shouldn't be that difficult to keep track of them. He should be able to find the head he was looking for. They even had distinct markings.

The head of Fire was redder than the others. The head of Poison was greener. The head of Wind didn't look much different from the rest of the Hydra's body. The head of Death was darker and seemed to have black air around it. The heads of regeneration and immortality also looked like the rest of the Hydra's body, but they oozed vitality and life.

The head of Usurpation looked almost regal, and the bronze-colored markings ran from the back of its crown like drops of blood.

When he looked at the different heads and their necks, he could easily follow each of them except the eighth head with the unknown power.

He resorted to locating the other heads and the necks they were attached to before targeting the last one. But as he ran, the different necks blended together like watercolors before separating.

The unknown head wasn't going to be easy to target, but that only made Zach all the more desperate to reach it.

If it was afraid of getting it to the point of distorting his senses, it meant hitting it would be worth it.

Zach activated his Eyes of Truth again and increased the power as much as he dared. His eyes stung. They were only holding up because of the world essence energy flowing through his veins like lava.

He had a feeling that he would need to take it easy for a while after this fight.

Gradually, he saw more clearly than before. He saw the powers flowing through the different heads. He could tell the head of Fire was gathering energy to pour another large torrent onto Yanael.

The head of Death was locked in a struggle against Soara. Its power of death roiled and rumbled like the ocean during a storm.

The heads of Wind and Poison were also gathering their strength to attack Yanael. Zach could tell that the Hydra was clearing out filth that had accumulated during the time it was sealed.

It was getting back into the groove and warming up. It was the same as it had been with Ra when she was Patient Zero.

The longer this fight went on, the more the Hydra would regain its strength.

Now that he was taking a closer look at them with his Eyes of Truth, Zach could tell that the heads of Regeneration and Immortality were already spent. They were what had kept the Hydra alive and mostly intact while it was sealed.

It had not been easy.

For now, they didn't have to worry about the Hydra regaining its full strength in a matter of minutes.

Before looking at the unknown head, Zach glanced at the head of Usurpation. It looked back at him.

It was still and showed no intention of moving or doing anything.

But unlike the other heads, it was thinking. There was a lot of intelligence hiding in those snake eyes of the head of Usurpation.

Zach had a feeling that the head of Usurpation was the one in charge. And right now, it was just looking and assessing the situation after several thousand years in the seal.

That scared Zach.

More frightening than the Hydra going mad after being sealed for so long was the Hydra having a mind powerful enough to endure the solitude, boredom, and suffocation of the seal.

He had been petrified into a state of knowing nothing but his own thoughts by the Basilisk. He had gone crazy in less than a day.

He regained his sanity, but he also broke out quickly.

If he had been stuck for several thousand years like that…

Zach didn't want to imagine it.

But the way he looked at the Hydra changed.

He didn't know what they were dealing with. His family, the Sesha, and the Children.

None of them knew what they had been preparing for.

The Hydra had been sealed for several thousand years.

It wasn't going to die as soon as it got out.
