Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 555: Intentions

When Zach first noticed the unknown head about to attack him and the head of Fire, he had a fraction of a second to think that the head would probably hold back in case it hit the head of Fire. It just needed to nip Zach with its wide open maw, after all. It was smart enough to do what the head of Poison wasn't.

However, Zach was wrong. He had underestimated its wit, its brutality, or both.

The unknown head didn't care one lick for the head of Fire. It didn't even try to hide its intentions when attacking Zach with its mouth suddenly closed before it could even reach Zach's hair.

It rammed straight into Zach's barrier. The ground beneath Zach's feet caved in. To the unknown head and Zach, that didn't mean much. It was just a change in footing for one of them, and the target moving back a negligible amount for the other.

But for the ground—the head of Fire—it was devastating.

The pain was one thing. It had endured everything so far in the hopes that it and the head of Poison would triumph against the powerful gnat. But now, it was so painful the head of Fire thrashed, tossed, and turned like a child throwing a tantrum.

But that wasn't it.

Someone's feet were inside its brain. It was an indescribable feeling of discomfort and wrongness that made the head of Fire want to puke.

However, before it could take anything from the shared and listlessly empty stomach and hurl at the ground, it stiffened. From the base of its neck to the tip of its nose, the head of Fire stopped moving for a couple of seconds before slowly falling like a cut tree.

Zach had taken the opportunity to stomp as hard as possible with as much of the world essence energy surging through his legs as possible. He had decimated the head of Fire's brain, and then before it could fall or even think about regenerating, he used Material Extraction to reduce what was left into an amber pearl as big as his fist.

The head of Fire was dead, and before it could hit the ground, it turned to a million fragments of dust that disappeared into the air

Zach landed on the ground with a thud and a roll before standing up and hurriedly turning around, expecting retribution.

But the unknown head was already moving, and the head of Poison was looking at its dead buddy in shock.

Both Zach and the head of Poison tracked down the unknown head and looked at it warily. It looked insane. Its gaze was crazed, and there was not a hint of sanity behind its eyes.

But Zach did not think for a second that what it had just done was anything but deliberate.

Infighting could be found anywhere, especially considering it happened even within Zach's family. But Zach had not expected the Hydra to kill one of its own heads like that.

The Hydra was down to six heads now. It had already lost two of them since the start of the battle against Zach.

Zach had expected to put up a fight against the Hydra. He was confident in himself and his maids. But hsi confidence had wavered once the seal started breaking, and the Hydra's presence seeped into the world.

Things were well beyond his expectations right now. He did not think it would be this easy to take two of the Hydra's heads. He had taken one almost by himself, and Soara had taken one almost by herself.

And Yanael was working hard to take three by herself.

Zach couldn't help but think that the Hydra wanted them to take its heads, other than the head of Usurpation.

But he couldn't for the life of him figure out why.

It didn't make sense. Each head was a source of power and incredible strength. If the Hydra hadn't lost the head of Death already, Yan and the rest of his army wouldn't have stood a chance. They would have been wiped out in minutes at most without having time to launch more than a couple of explosives at the Hydra.

It still had its head of Poison, but without the head of Fire, the Hydra would have an even harder time laying waste to the land, assuming that's what it wanted.

Even if that wasn't what the Hydra wanted, wouldn't it want strength? Wouldn't it want to take revenge?

Logically speaking, the Hydra wouldn't want to become weaker.

In Zach's mind, that meant it was willingly letting them take its heads because it would, in turn, make it stronger. He didn't know how that could possibly be, but it was the only answer to why it would do it that made sense.

Unfortunately, that wasn't even the problem with the current situation.

The problem was that there was nothing Zach could do about even if he figured out the head of Usurpation's intentions.

The Hydra wanted them to lop off its heads. Okay. So what?

Were they supposed to stop fighting the Hydra? Were they supposed to fight it without targeting the heads? Was that even possible?

Besides, it was clear that the Hydra had grown weaker after losing two of its heads. It had even shrunk in size.

However he looked at it, this was the only way to fight the Hydra. Their only option was to take its heads, weaken it, and finally kill it.

The feeling of being left without a choice frustrated Zach.

Fortunately, he had the perfect target to vent his frustration on.

He turned to the head of Poison.

The head of Poison sensed his gaze and turned to him.

The unknown head had certainly been involved in the head of Fire's death. But its powers worked just as well on the head of Poison as they did on the others. It didn't take long for the head of Poison to remember that Zach was the one who had attacked the head of Fire and cracked open its skull.

Naturally, Zach became its target.
