Chapter 765: Meticulous Planning

The almighty Elder Hydra was undergoing immense pressure because of the constant attacks and barely managed to come out of Rudra's hypnosis gaze. However, right when it regained consciousness, a ginormous moon-like boulder dropped from the sky.

BOOM!!

10 kilometers of region shook and the ground shuddered from the impact. Thousands of cracks and crevices formed as high tidal waves of swamp water rose high like a tsunami.

In the end, because of Rudra's hypnosis, the Elder Hydra failed to sense that while it was fighting their group… Blackwall, who stood at the back of this enemy group despite being the biggest and tallest of them all, had been excavating the nearby region quietly and created a massive 1 kilometer tall round orb similar to the shape of the moon in the sky using the Terrain Manipulation skill.

As a result, the hydra was caught off guard by the Planetary Devastation attack the Kronos general created for the first time.

ROARRR!!

HISSSS!!

All the heads of the floor boss roared frantically and wailed in pain as this massive and incredibly leaden orb was hammered down on its body, basically squashing most of it in a single strike.

To add to the pressure, Kahn also used War Dominance and Dragon's Sovereignty. Making the enemy lose its rationality because of its enraged and endangered state.

At this moment, the nearby terrain had been cleared of water because of the impact through the canals Blackwall created previously while he had surrounded the boss. Due to which, the boss also lost its mobility since it was a water creature with limited maneuverability on open ground.

Every single step was planned from the very beginning.

The boss was now stomped by the massive boulder, screaming and screeching in agonizing pain. It could no longer move because of losing the terrain advantage as well as destroyed internal organs.

All the heads attacked the ginormous mini-planet with their elemental breaths despite in being pain. But it was simply too big to destroy in a single wave.

"Now!" shouted Kahn and all the subordinates attacked with their physical bodies from all sides, this time, their goals were not the heads but something else.

Rip!

Tear!

Omega, Jugram, Armin, Ceril and Ronin attacked all at once and started tearing apart its massive 5 kilometers long body while evading the attacks from its heads.

Rudra also slithered quickly, approaching the enemy from behind and he bit off the entire tail while spewing his Corrosive Magma, making it unable to regenerate in that part.

But since both of them were creatures with venom and poison immunity, the Elder Hydra wasn't dying. Yet the injuries were still lethal.

Even though most of the body was regenerating at an extremely fast pace, the Elder Hydra couldn't move and Kahn's group of walking world calamities kept tearing apart its flesh and bones before the healing could even complete.

[Now is your chance, boy.] spoke Rathnaar in a kingly manner.

This was an opportunity they needed as orchestrated by Rathnaar, the first emperor of Rakos.

The biggest key factor which dictated the result of this battle was whether they could destroy the Elder Hydra's heart or not.

Nonetheless, the available space for it to move the heart was simply too big.

So all these steps were taken in order to force their enemy to act according to their needs instead.

And now, there were only a few places where the heart could be shifted because its central body parts such as the spine, rib cage and tail were crushed and other parts were being torn apart by the Kahn's subordinates.

Since there was no way for them to easily find the heart without losing all their mana and world energy stored in their bodies during the battle.

Hence, they forced the hydra to move the heart to a safe place… a place where they wanted it to be.

"Got it!" said Kahn after he used Hunter's Domain which expended half of his world energy reserves because of the restrictions placed by this floor.

[All of you, inside!] he ordered at the same time as Lucifer was instantly covered under space force.

Everyone else was already waiting for this command and quickly entered his shadow without wasting a single moment.

Slash!!

Kahn used the Dimensional Cut skill and slashed apart the 20 meter wide heart of the hydra in a single swing.

SHING!!

As soon as the heart was cut, a massive surge of golden aura erupted.

BOOM!!

And Kahn, who was still present just half a kilometer away was obliterated into ash as the entire ten kilometers of radius was pulverized from this nuclear bomb-like explosion.

Destroying the core of a mythical rank being comparable to a 5th stage saint was no joke.

Millions of soldiers in this perimeter would die even if they successfully managed to kill the Elder Hydra. This was also the reason why nobody could easily kill this boss in a thousand years.

5 seconds later.

"Phew! Barely survived."

Spoke Kahn as he stood besides Edmund's unconscious body which was located 20 kilometers away.

Before the battle even began, he had created 2 Doppelgangers, stationed and hidden perfectly using Invisibility skill at set distances.

As soon as he destroyed the heart, he switched places with them one after another in milliseconds at a distance of 10 kilometers each, making his escape in time using the Shadow Swap skill while sacrificing his fake bodies.

Swoosh!

All the subordinates came out of his shadow and heaved a sigh of relief.

If there was even a single second's delay… all of them would've died with Kahn.

This was a very risky plan. But as a result, only blood, chunks of flesh and crumbs of shattered bones were spread across 30 kilometers radius, none of which was theirs.

"Man… I could've gotten a lot of useful abilities."

The entire body and core of the Elder Hydra were gone.

Sadly, harvesting it was not an option for them otherwise Kahn would've used it for his rank up to a 5th stage saint later.

But wanting everything without sacrifices didn't always happen in the real world.

Little did he know…

What Ervalen, the Hero of Life achieved with the death of half of their party members and sacrificing himself…

Kahn and the gang achieved that without a single casualty.

Although it seemed like everything was taken care of very easily with no mishaps and great struggle…

All of it was possible because they planned each step very meticulously with their limited abilities and restrictions on their bodies while avoiding all the possible mistakes that could happen and get themselves killed as a result.

Once again, Rathnaar proved why he was superior in terms of experience and war tactics compared to Kahn.

Having a Genius mind didn't mean you could always outsmart people with great Experience. This was something the current Kahn still needed to work on and accumulate over time.

And finally… they passed one of the biggest hurdles that even millions of soldiers and dozens of saints couldn't accomplish… with just 9 fighters.

Two Hours Later.

Edmund finally woke up from his slumber and had a groggy expression. In the end, he was a human, someone without natural or innate regeneration abilities, so it took him time to recover despite being a saint.

"What the hell happened?! Did I die?

And where is the boss?" he questioned loudly.

Kahn who had turned back into Legolas again gave a benign look as he responded with a charming smile.

"Gone. Reduced to atoms."
