5. Hydra
Pfft!
“Wow!”
“Kaaaak!”
snake pit.
It appears with the appearance of the green snakes.
It was a kind of structure that was created around the ‘egg’ in the middle.
Because it was a structure that looked like a maze or an ant hole.
If you’re not careful, it’s easy to get lost here.
‘But there’s nothing to worry about.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘The best way to find eggs when you come to a snake pit.’
It was definitely a matter of going to where the strong green snake was.
[Item, ‘Astrape (E)’ is transformed.]
This time, Astrape has transformed into a whip shape.
The whip is the weapon with the widest range when swung.
Considering the destructive power of Shihyeon’s Astrape, it was best to change it to a whip to dig holes.
Flash!
Sihyeon didn’t just catch green snakes.
While catching the guys, I hit them here and there with the whip.
Because of this, the snake pit was being expanded unintentionally.
Broadly.
Behind him, Kibisis was sucking up the corpses and items of the green snakes.
Occasionally, green snakes would see it and try to bite Kibisis.
The guy was floating in the air, dodging everything annoyingly.
Tsuzujeok.
As a result of breaking through several hours like that.
There’s good news.
[Item, ‘Astrape (E)’ proficiency has reached LV.10.]
[Item ‘Astrape (E)’ is promoted to D-grade.]
[Special effect of ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’ is activated.]
Is it because I used it so much and killed so many opponents?
Astraphe’s proficiency has increased like crazy and has already been promoted to D-rank.
[Astrape (D)]
… … .
Wearing effect
[Magic Power 10] [Physical Resistance 10] [Magic Resistance 10] [Movement Speed +100%]
D-grade special effects
The shock effect granted by Astrape is doubled.
Astragalus can split.
Astraphe’s D-class special effects.
It was amazing.
‘It’s not called one of Zeus’ three thunderbolts for nothing.’
As you might expect, the item grade used by average players is E.
Even if it’s only a D grade, the price will skyrocket and the effect will be on a whole different level.
It was no different from Astrape.
The magic power that used to increase by 100,000 is now increased by 20.
Physical and magical resistances are also increased by 10 each.
‘Now, even moderate attacks won’t hurt you.’
Movement speed has also been increased by 100%, making Sihyeon’s footwork much faster than before.
The electric shock effect is also doubled!
But most importantly, Astrape can now ‘split’.
Phage support!
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ splits.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is transformed.]
It is common sense to use an item that has received a new effect right away.
As Sihyeon gave her magic power, Astrape split in two.
A sword in his right hand, a spear in his left.
These were the two weapons that Sihyeon used the most.
Flash!
Sihyeon threw the spear-shaped astrape at the green snakes.
Then he swung his sword-shaped astrape wildly.
‘good.’
Hit!
“let’s go.”
The place where Sihyeon arrived after going around and around was a cave with an incomparable number of green snakes compared to before.
In the middle of the collapsed Olympic Park.
Here, far below where it collapsed, was the ‘egg’ mentioned in the main quest.
“Shhhh! Human!”
“Aaaaaaaaaa! Get back! This is sacred ground!”
It wasn’t just the little green snakes that escorted the guy.
There were dozens of snakes that were so large they looked comical.
Nine huge snakes, so huge that they made even the other snakes look ridiculous, were brooding eggs.
‘There are not nine.’
Looking closely.
This was because the guys had one body and nine heads.
[You have reached the center of the snake pit.]
[Warning! You have encountered the hidden boss, ‘Hydra’.]
“Hydrala.”
Hydra.
A giant snake with nine heads.
It is the highest-ranking demon among the snake-shaped demons.
Especially, if you cut those heads, they will grow back into two.
The golden head in the middle is not even cut off.
“sanctuary?”
Phage… … .
“What are you talking about when you destroyed the stadium?”
“Tch! You cheeky human!”
“Syaaak! You will be punished.”
Green snakes swarmed towards Shihyeon with Hydra’s signal.
Flash!
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ splits.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is transformed.]
Sword and shield.
Sihyeon, who had the most balanced combination, moved forward.
Choaaaah!
A green wave made up of green snakes covers the vision.
In between, huge entities poured out with their mouths wide open.
“Now is the time.”
[Item, ‘Kibisis (E)’ blooms.]
Kibicis.
This pouch, which contained all of the magic of Hera, the greatest sorceress on Olympus, was not only effective in storing items.
It had the ability to store infinite matter in infinite space and also had the ability to ‘take it out’.
And the substance that Sihyeon took out from here was ‘water.’
Choaaaah!
Because whenever I had time, I would submerge Kibisis in Seokchon Lake or the Han River and then open the entrance.
The amount inside was surprisingly more than I expected.
Pfft!
Sihyeon jumped up from the ground and swung the sword-shaped Astraphe.
Flash!
Astraphe slashed through the middle of the wave of green snakes, leaving behind a golden trail.
“Whoa!”
“Seeeeeek!”
There was a momentary gap in the wave the guys had created.
Sihyeon didn’t miss that opportunity.
Pfft!
Drop the sword down to create a stepping stone and jump up.
I stepped on the heads of the giant green snakes again.
After that, Shihyeon raised his shield to cover his body and charged at Hydra.
“Shoot, hoot! Stop it!”
Hydra gave a command in horror, but it was too late.
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is combined.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is transformed.]
The astrape that had fallen to the ground returned to his hand.
A huge golden greatsword appeared in Sihyeon’s hand.
“That egg.”
Shh.
“Let’s see how long we can keep this up.”
Flash!
I can’t believe it!
All the green snakes that touched the sword were cut down and burned.
And among them were two heads of the Hydra.
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The Hydra’s seven heads roared in unison.
[Warning! All stats will decrease by 1 for 30 seconds due to the powerful roar of the demon.]
Sihyeon’s body has experienced numerous debuffs.
Reducing all stats by 1 had no effect on the battle.
Kkuddeuk.
The moment when two heads are about to grow from Hydra’s severed head.
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is split.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is transformed.]
Astrape was split into three parts.
Kwajijijik!
Two of them hit the severed Hydra’s head directly.
Phage… …Whew!
The Hydra’s head was completely burned by the heat that Astrape had been holding.
This left Hydra unable to regenerate heads.
“Ingaaaaan!”
“Yes. I am human.”
Crunch.
The Astraphael of the Vision cut off the Hydra’s head once more, and another Astraphael supported it.
The current flowed much better and its power was also stronger due to the water occasionally pouring out of the kibisis.
“Chwiaeaek! What are you doing! Hurry up and help me!”
“If you come now.”
A golden gleam appeared in Sihyeon’s eyes.
“The egg breaks.”
The green snakes froze as they heard Sihyeon’s words.
Of course, Hydra’s orders leading them were important.
But more important than that was the ‘egg’ they were guarding.
Protecting the eggs.
It was something beyond instinct.
“Shoot, shoo!”
“Syaeaek!”
Sihyeon’s threat worked.
The intelligent green snakes knew that Hydra was being pushed by the vision.
I also found out that that human could really destroy an egg if he wanted to.
So I couldn’t approach it rashly.
“Whoa, whaaaaa! You idiots!”
“You can’t come!”
The Hydra that was attacked by Sihyeon was a death blow.
Three heads are already tangled because of the guy’s movements.
After the four heads were cut off, they were charred.
Now there are two free heads.
Flash!
“Ah, aah, aah!”
Even one of them was cut off along with the astragalus and was left to fray.
‘Oh, I can’t believe it.’
The immortal head that oversees the remaining eight heads.
The golden head, which could be seen as the main body of the Hydra, could not come to its senses.
That man was strong.
He had enough strength to get to the center of the snake pit by himself, passing through numerous green snakes.
And he was clever, too.
Knowing that the green snakes were prioritizing protecting their eggs, he took advantage of this to create a one-on-one situation with them.
There was one question.
‘Why don’t you just break the egg? Are you… … trying to kill me first?’
When I thought about it this far.
Flash!
A giant scythe-shaped astrape cuts off three intertwined heads at the same time.
It was split into three branches and completely supported the head.
So all eight heads died.
‘I can’t die like this.’
The golden head opened its mouth.
Its scales are a hard substance that nothing can penetrate.
Even if the other green snakes didn’t pounce, he still had a chance.
“you.”
Thinking like that, he ran towards the golden hair.
Sihyeon smiled faintly.
“You know that, right?”
“Damn it! Die, you insolent human!”
“The weakness of your ‘snake’ type demons is the scales under their jaws.”
Sihyeon’s words were not wrong.
Scales under the chin of snake-type demons.
It was a place with lower hardness compared to other scales.
“Whoa!”
“I know it’s an honor. I didn’t really aim for it until now.”
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is transformed.]
[Item, ‘Astrape (D)’ is combined.]
“I’m only doing this for you.”
A huge golden hammer appeared in Sihyeon’s hand.
Flash!
He used the hammer to strike the Hydra’s golden head.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Hydra’s golden hair revealed its weakness without giving it time to react.
Crunch.
In an instant, Shihyeon’s Astrape transformed into a sword and slashed under the Hydra’s chin.
One blow.
The golden head that boasted of immortality was cut off with just one attack from Shihyeon, and the body trembled.
thud.
Then, with a loud noise, he fell limply to the floor.
“Phew… … .”
It was no easy task to defeat numerous green snakes and their leader, the Hydra.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to accumulate experience points.’
Although she was out of breath and felt like she was going to die, the corners of Sihyeon’s mouth went up on their own.
The thrill of achieving exactly what you set out to do.
And when I thought about the rewards that would come from this, I couldn’t help but laugh.
[Hidden boss, ‘Hydra’ has been defeated.]
[Awesome! You’re the first to kill a Hydra in the entire region.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[You have earned an additional 2,000 points.]
… … .
When I killed the Hydra, a reward message rang out.
“Whoa, whaaaaaa!”
“Syaeaek!”
And the green snakes who saw that were shocked and didn’t know what to do.
The reason the green snakes didn’t attack Shihyeon was because he could have threatened the eggs.
This was also because there was a belief that Hydra would not be defeated.
Infinitely growing hair and immortal golden hair.
Because with those two combinations, we could defeat any enemy.
But then, out of nowhere, a human appeared and killed the Hydra.
Of course, in the process, humans also get tired and suffer minor injuries, but that’s it.
Apart from that, he looked perfectly fine.
The real problem was that there was no longer a green snake guarding the ‘egg’.
“You little snakeheads.”
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
Then he put his hand on the purple egg that the Hydra was holding.
“Get out of the way. Before I destroy everything.”
