Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 559: Second Lightning Round

Lahso nodded when he saw Septine dive into a wild fight with the wolves instead of bothering with him and Yan. But the Ugri weren't satisfied with just Septine. They snagged Ulminer away from Oria, too, much to her relief.

She had barely held on with Yan's support. Stalling was all she could do with her current reserves. The Ugris' interference was much appreciated.

Yan's expression was grim, however. He had heard Septine's conversation with the Ugri chief. He had been about to join the Arlecchs' side.

Yan shifted his gaze now that he had a moment to breathe. He had to check how Zach was doing.

He narrowed his eyes.

Zach was distancing himself from the Hydra. At first, Yan thought it was because the others had come to take over and give Zach a moment to rest.

That wasn't it.

The Hydra's heads were already in a deplorable state. The head of Poison was lying on the ground limply. It was a hair from death. The heads of Regeneration, Immortality, and Wind were also in poor states.

The heads of Regeneration and Immortality were naturally already fighting to recover, but Yanael had inflicted serious damage on all three heads. The only two heads still intact were the heads of Usurpation, which had yet to partake in the fight, and the unknown head, which was almost impossible to hit due to its unpredictable movements and patterns.

Even if Zach was tired, he wouldn't back down from a Hydra in such poor condition unless he couldn't move. But with how rapidly he was dashing away from the Hydra, that wasn't the case.

Yan's eyes narrowed as his gaze was drawn toward the sky high above the Hydra. He couldn't see anything at first, but the eyes that granted him the ability to see through battlefields told him that something was wrong.

That ability of his was just sensitive enough to make him look toward the sky a second before Lahso and Oria. Unlike Yan, who couldn't sense it, they could.

Someone had used a ridiculous spell that they weren't even sure could be called magic to disturb the flow of nature.

Oria instantly realized who it was since she had helped Mandra once before to do something similar.

But this was on a different level.

When they conjured the rain to convince a few of the tribes to consider a ceasefire, they had made it rain by hand. They had manually drawn the moisture and water in the air and from any nearby water sources and concentrated it in the air above the Sesha camp.

It would have been the same if Mandra had manually created a lot of lightning magic in the sky before calling it down. But she wasn't doing that.

She was inviting natural lightning into existence somehow.

Oria's eyes lit up. She wanted to learn how to do that.

However, staring at it with such wide eyes was a mistake once the magic showed its effects.

Lightning bright enough to drown out the sun poured down on the Hydra.

That was why Zach and Yanael had retreated from the Hydra in a hurry. That was why the Evandiel family and the Maura tribe had held off on approaching the Hydra, even if they had been eager to beat it into the ground.

Maura felt awe when she looked at the powerful play of lightning strikes. Her daughter had picked up a capable man. It was to the point where she couldn't complain about him surrounding himself with strikingly beautiful maids. After all, it meant he didn't struggle when outnumbered.

The Evandiels, on the other hand…

Nymur, Calserra, Leonidas, Leonia, Leana, Lilo, and Lily all felt a mixture of emotions as they looked at what the youngest was capable of.

His words rang through their minds.

'The seal was breakable.'

Indeed. With that power at his disposal, he had the right to say such things.

Since he was right about that, did it mean he was right about the other part as well?

Could they have chosen a different path, one that didn't lead the East to ruin?

But there was no time to dwell on that now. It would be of no use. It was already in the past.

The future may not be set in stone, but the past certainly was, and there was nothing any of them could do about it other than seek to make amends and right their wrongs.

But that was a matter for after the fight, which was far from over.

Leana and the younger daughters of the family couldn't sense it, nor could Leonia, but she could at least figure out that this wouldn't be enough to kill the Hydra.

The lightning was powerful, without a doubt. But it was haphazard, inconsistent, and unconcentrated. At most, it would take a couple of heads, depending on their condition.

Zach frowned as he looked at the sky with his familiars.

"Mandra, it's different from how it was in the Labyrinth, right?" He asked. He wasn't sure exactly how, but it felt like the lightning was more powerful, but stubborn at the same time. It was like it didn't want to go along with mandr'as spell as easily. The difference in concentration of lightning components faded much quicker on the surface than in the Labyrinth.

"Yes, Master. Unsurprisingly, the laws of nature are more complete outside the Labyrinth than inside, even if the world within the Labyrinth is surprisingly complete. I will have to take that into consideration next time."

"I have a bad feeling about this."

Zach couldn't explain it, nor could he see anything that prompted the bad feeling other than the relatively weaker lightning.

But something about he current situation was awry.

"Master, is it because it's going too well?" Yanael suggested, having been by Zach's side through all the trouble he's experienced the past years. It looked like the Hydra was on its last legs, and Zach hadn't almost died once.

He was a little tired, and his body was starting to struggle with the world essence energy. It was too easy.

"That may be it."
