Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 562: You Done?

A strong, interesting kid who was fun to play with.

It didn't quite fit in with the logical part of Zach's brain. But he knew instinctively who that was.

The last time he saw him, Minatio would never have been able to catch Ozra's attention. In Zach's mind, Minatio was still a wild baby with a little more strength than average.

Lexi had said he had grown a lot the past years, but Zach still didn't have an updated mental image of Minatio, so he couldn't see him as anything but a mostly helpless baby who should not have been at the same depths in the Labyrinth as Ozra.

But the way Ozra said it…It just made him think of Minatio. Still, he had to be sure.

"Pale? Greyish hair? Maybe dark eyes?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Ozra asked lightly while trying to split Zach's head in half with her heel.

"What did you do…" Zach's voice was a murmur behind gritted teeth.

"Huh?"

"Whad did you do to him?!" He roared, lunging forward, grabbing Ozra by the ankle, slamming her into the ground, and putting a foot on her throat.

Ozra was taken by surprise. Did he really think that would work?

She spun around, freeing her ankle and throat before grabbing the foot that had been on her throat and trapping his leg between hers. Before she could snap it in three places, Zach kicked the side of her head.

It was an awkward angle, but it was still a good hit, based on the cracking sound it made, even if it was from Zach's foot and not Ozra's skull. He pushed the tip of his foot into the underside of her jaw. She had to let go, so that's what she did, but not before twisting his ankle until it broke.

The two shuffled backward and got up. Zach stood on one foot, the other resting limply against the ground while slowly healing. He glared at Ozra.

"What did you do to Minatio?" He demanded again.

"Nothing." She shrugged.

"Why would I do anything to him when he hasn't done me any wrong? He reminded me of myself when I was young, so I offered him some advice before we were interrupted by someone." She shot the Hydra a glare.

"If that's true, where is he?"

"How am I supposed to know?" She asked like it was unreasonable for Zach to ask that.

"But he was alive when you saw him last?"

"Of course."

"Good." Zach heaved a sigh of relief. Ozra didn't understand what the big deal was. She just rolled her eyes and lowered her hands.

The two of them turned to the side and looked at the new arrivals.

Since the lightning was calming down, the Evandiels and the Maura warriors, chief included, had come to see what the commotion was about. Naturally, anger surged within the Evandiels when they saw Ozra snap Zach's ankle.

Zach did like Ozra and rolled his eyes. Now, they were worried about him?

However, before they could say anything, the lightning died down, releasing the Hydra from its grasp.

Everyone's eyes, except Ozra's, narrowed as they looked.

Only three heads remained.

The head of Usurpation, the head of Regeneration, and the unknown head. The head of Usurpation and the unknown head were mostly fine. But the head of Regeneration looked like it was about to join the rest of the fallen heads in nonexistence.

Zach was a little surprised that the Hydra had taken so much damage that it had lost so many heads already, including the head of Immortality.

But it solidified his feeling that it was intentional. He didn't know why, but the Hydra wanted to lose its heads. It could not be for a good reason.

He glanced at Ozra.

"Did I prove my worth?" He asked. If he did, she was going to help them against the Hydra.

"No," She answered simply, whipping her hand out and cracking it against Zach's head at the same time, resuming their fight. Nymur drew his sword.

Zach blocked Ozra's knee and deflected her punch, looking past her at his family, and Maura, who was looking on with interest.

"You guys deal with that," he said, glancing at the Hydra. "We'll join you in a few minutes."

Calserra put a hand on Nymur's shoulder.

Zach was important. But they had already come this far. If they didn't take down the Hydra here, everything they had sacrificed so far would be for naught.

Nymur gritted his teeth and pointed his sword at the Hydra instead of Ozra.

"You done?" Ozra asked Zach.

"Yep."

"Good." Ozra grabbed Zach's head with both hands and headbutted him.

The pain stung, and tears involuntarily sprung up in the corners of Zach's eyes. But he ignored that and sucker punched Ozra in the gut. She didn't let go of his head and headbutted him again. Naturally, Zach responded with another sucker punch. But this time, he also kicked her shin and stomped on her foot.

It was just a shame that she seemed to be indestructible. She didn't so much as flinch from either attack. Zach sighed.

He hadn't wanted to use it against another human since it felt like there would be no going back after that.

He placed his hand against Ozra's stomach, ignoring the headbutts that broke through his barriers. He raised his palm until only his fingertips touched her.

But before he could start, Ozra let go of him and jumped back with a wary expression.

"What was that?" She asked.

Zach shrugged.

"Finally, something that works against you, I guess."

Ozra narrowed her eyes and touched her stomach.

"Don't do that again."

Zach was going to ask why, but a wave of unease swept over them both, forcing them to look toward the Hydra.

The Evandiel family's confidence in taking down the Hydra wasn't for naught, nor was Maura's confidence in her own strength.

While Zach and Ozra fooled around, the Hydra had lost two of its three remaining heads. Only the head of Usurpation remained, and it smiled brightly as its body crumbled like it was made of coal.
