"Ghhhh...!"

Cranberry burst fire the fireballs right into the hydra's throat and the heat of the explosions made the blond prince gritted his teeth as he looked away to at least protect his face from getting burnt.

By all means that attack should work - there weren't that many fireproof monsters, to begin with, and hydra certainly did not count as one - but instead of pulling back in pain, or better - getting its rubies-covered head blown off together with a good chunk of its neck, the hydra only pushed harder, increasing the pressure on it was pushing onto the Roan's sword with as if it did not care for the blade cutting into its body.

The reason for this sudden outstanding resistance was not an unluckily - for the two children - timed skill gain but rather the fact that the blackish soft tissue of the monster's throat was covered in freshly grown rubies that absorbed any and all explosive power of the fire, leaving the beast unharmed.

"D-don't you have another spell or something?!"

Roan groaned to the red-haired girl behind him, feeling his arms giving out despite the effects of the giant slayer affinity.

"Nothing that would help in our situation, unless you want to get electrocuted or ground to shreds by those."

Cranberry frowned and scoffed back, watching in annoyance as the rubies inside the hydra's throat are growing into sharp spikes so it would be possible to rip the two of them apart without the need to chew them.

"Hold on, the cooldown on the physical augmentation skill is almost down, I will stack it again as soon as possible."

She added before shooting out six fireballs again despite not expecting the result to be any different than before.

"Hold on, huh...? Ease for you to say...!"

Roan shook his head, gritting his teeth so hard that they started creaking - similar to the blade of his greatsword grinding against the constantly growing rubies that made any further incisions impossible.

*booooooom*

"What the...?! Have someone from the outside managed to break through?!"

Suddenly an echo of an explosion reverberated through the red and black dome making the blond prince gasp and his eyes lighted up with hope.

*SHING*

*THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP*

The next moment the pressure inflicted by the rubies-covered head disappeared completely and the head itself fell on the ground with a loud noise - actually, it was followed by four more sounds indicating that the same happened to all of the hydra's heads.

"Hurry! Back off before it regenerates!"

Cranberry called out and pulled the blond prince away grabbing onto his arm, making him leave his sword wedged in between the jaws of the beast.

"?!?!?!?!"

"Zombie!"

The children got away from the monster and saw the back of the little blue undead standing on top of one of the cut-off snake heads with the black-blood-covered sword, facing the already regenerating hydra.

The body of the monster - because only that remained intact after the little undead cleaved off all of the heads at the base of their necks with a single strike - was rapidly bubbling with the rapidly growing crystals which made it look like a giant pot boiling over with multicolored foam.

"..."

Zombie glanced back at Cranberry and Rona and nodded his head without a word seeing them fine, then he turned to the wounded red dragon and his body shook when his muscles stiffened seeing the damage done to him by the hydra's fangs.

"...wait a bit, I'll deal with this guy as soon as possible and get you help..."

"(Master, it hurts... b-but I'll be brave so don't worry about me...!)"

Zombie declared with the voice brimming with a fury which prompted Baron to make a statement that he really wanted to make sound tough, but the little dragon wasn't the best when it came to hiding his emotion, so he ended up sounding pitiful and very hurt.

"..."

Which only made the little blue undead's anger that much greater.

His body shone with even more intensity as the white light of another skill got added to the violet light of the already active overpower, the blue undead winded up as if he was going to throw Kopia in her morbid blade as if she was a javelin and...

He actually threw her!

*WHAM*

The long curvy blade stabbed and got embedded into the middle jadeite head before it could reform into a proper scaly head, sending it back so far that hydra's whole body lifted up before the blue undead grabbed with both hands onto the red string coiled around his right arm still connected to the Kopia's pommel - and pulled on it with enough power to burrow his feet up to half his shin's hight into the ground.

*BOOOOOOOOOM*

But the effect that had on the five-headed monster was much more impressive as the monster got slammed into the ground with enough strength to cause an earthquake as if the middle head shattered into pieces, freeing Kopia that instantly returned to Zombie's hand on her own.

Still, as if that little thing could be enough to appease the anger of the little blue undead!

Within the same heartbeat, Zombie was already by the Pleonexus hydra that four heads were already done regenerating and the middle one grew out half of its neck.

With another even brighter light added to the violet light of the overpower, Zombie raised Kopia and - both his arm and the sentient sword suddenly disappeared!

*CRASH*

...and caused all the heads to explode into hundreds of thousands of pieces, as the slashes became visible only a few feet away from the undead who unleashed them.

Blade tornado (level 2)

A message showed up for Zombie, but the blue undead did not acknowledge its existence, taking a step forward instead, shredding off more and more of the monster's necks and continuing doing the same to its body, all to the accompaniment of blackish blood and red and black smoke gushing out of the minced flesh like some sort of ceaseless discharge.
