One of the heads of the Hydra, it leapt into the sky, spraying blood splatter.
“Haa….”
I take a breath and kick the ground some more, aiming for the other neck.
“Tiger and Dragon Forty Lotus —Cutting Dance—”
A slashing dance with claws.
The power strengthened by the heavenly style, it easily crushes the hard scales of the Hydra.
Hydra’s scream immediately roars in the cave.
The second head, detached from the torso, flies through the air.
As I watched, I left a rainbow-colored trail and landed right in front of Hydra.
“Grrrrrrrrrr.”
The remaining heads of the Hydra, they glare at me with a low roar.
Glittering red, they were clothed in an obvious rage.
The remaining heads stretch out to catch me all at once.
I easily dodged them and cut them one by one, then another.
While I was fed up with the high-pitched screams of the Hydra repeatedly, I was elated by the steadily decreasing head of the Hydra.
Heavenly Dance -Heavenly Style-
This dance, which temporarily improves one’s own physical abilities, is one of the ultimate dances, created by my ancestor, the dancer.
Although I was concerned about whether it would be able to compete with the Hydra, the effect was obvious.
The divine beast was no better than a baby in front of this dance.
It was as if it was a lie that I had been struggling so much, and Imut was able to overpower me.
I can win.
Although it inspires an extraordinary amount of confidence, this power is limited in time.
If I don’t decide the game quickly, it’s clear I will be outclassed again.
I set up a cutting dance stance to drop all the heads–.
“No…. way…”
As I tried to catch Hydra, I saw an unbelievable sight.
“Ggghhhh!”
The heads that should have been dropped remains on the ground.
However, Hydra had all the heads that it should have dropped.
Hydra resumes its attack to catch me with all the heads that are once again aligned.
I managed to drop one of the heads with my gritty claws while avoiding it.
However, the break in the neck, when some kind of red foam gathered there, the neck regenerated like a lizard’s tail.
“Tsk!”
I bite my back teeth.
No matter how much I cut off those heads, they would keep regenerating again and again.
“What?”
A moment later, the feeling of strength draining from my entire body.
I collapsed to my knees, paralyzed and powerless.
“Kahaa….”
Fresh blood shoots out of my mouth.
And as I fall to the ground, I come to one conclusion.
“Time …… up ……”
Heavenly style is a dance that raises one’s physical abilities.
Due to its overly strong effect, the recoil that is brought about when a physically inexperienced person dances this dance.
The difference between the pulled up force and the original force is so great that when the effect wears off, the original body that could not endure collapses.
The reason why I danced this dance knowing that is because I believed that even if I am not good enough, if I buy enough time, Keith-san will surely kill the Hydra.
But I’ve seen him.
The back of his head as he carries Euryaleis away from this place.
Why won’t you help me?
Why are you going?
There are a lot of thoughts going through my head right now, but Hydra doesn’t seem to let me indulge in such sentimentality.
“Ggaaaaaaah!”
As if to tell me it’s over, the elated Hydra howls loudly.
