Chapter 55 (1/2)

Summary of the last chapter in three lines

The Hydra spits out acid.

When Souta tries to unseal the crystal…….

「That thing is…. This is quite a pinch.」

Souta turns his eyes to the Hydra, and sweat can be seen flowing on his forehead.

「I-I will try to buy some time somehow…… Souta-dono, quickly save Dina-sama.」

「Stop it, it’s not an opponent you can handle, you'll just die in vain.」

Still Narasu doesn’t move from her spot.

She shakes her head while keeping her eyes locked onto the Hydra.

With firm determination, Narasu faces the Hydra with a rapier fully filled with magic power in her hand.

When the Hydra who raised its head and roared calms down, it moves its sight to the crystal it’s protecting.

「GROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA」

Noticing that, the Hydra is furious, while roaring, it tries to attack Souta and Narasu.

Without changing her stance, Narasu casts magic.

Narasu tries to stop the Hydra’s movement by casting wind magic and then strike with the rapier with the gap created, however nevermind stopped, it doesn’t even slowed down.

The Hydra sets off Narasu’s magic with its own magic power and heads toward Narasu as if nothing happened.

「Guhh, how powerful is it…」

「Guahhhh」

Narasu is able to pick up her rapier and defend herself, but she can’t stop the momentum and is thrown onto the wall.

「Sou-Souta-dono….. I’m sorry……」

She’s still conscious, but as she tries to raise her body, she falls again. Although she is still conscious, she has received a great deal of damage.

「Narasu …. This is bad, but…. I refuse to stay still and let you do as you wis.h.!.+」

Due to his posture, the power and speed are poor, especially when compared to his attack against the right head from before.

Without magic power infused to them, the attack won’t deal any damage to the Hydra, it will just hit its skin and b.u.mp off.

By stopping the magic power injection, Souta will be able to focus on the battle and win, but even so, he doesn’t stop.

With the seal only solved this far, stopping the unsealing process might affect Dinarius negatively, with that in his mind, he can’t stop and takes the risk.

The Hydra pulls its head back, on a closer inspection, there is an almost exploded breath stored in its mouth.

With all three breaths unleashed as one, it won’t be hard to imagine the outcome, even if they can avoid death, they will still take major damage.

Souta quickly chooses the best action he can do.

Souta also injects the magic power needed to maintain his defense. This seems like a suicidal act, but the last thing Souta want is for them to get caught in the breath attack and killed.

The crystal glows brighter, and large crack forms in the middle of the crystal.
