Chapter 117: The imprisoned Beast (1/2)
After getting down for more than one hour, he estimated that he is more than 1500 meters deep and Sam found a rocky terrain on the sea bed.
He moved towards it and the place filled with rotten carcasses, some of them are of water bound creatures and some of them are of humans, there are a lot of carcasses.
Even the bones are corroded so much due to the toxins.
Sam went deeper and deeper into the rocky terrain and he only stopped when he found something weird.
There was a large area with some concentrated energy and when he used his observation, he wasn't able to understand what it realty is.
But when he moved towards it, he was able to sense that energy is distributed in that particular area and it is making all the water repel from it.
The pressure on him increased when he moved towards it and he has to increase the thrust so much to go against it.
If not for the fact that his body is physically as strong as a beast at the same level, he would have had his bones crushed under his pressure.
He not only found that formation is quite high grade, but it is very much eroded completely, as if the energy source is completely depleted.
Sam drifted towards the formation, but he wasn't able to enter easily.
The formation is completely sealed and even though there are some loop holes, Sam wasn't able to pin point them.
The loop holes are small and sparse and didn't appear all the time, so he waited as he swam around the formation to find out if there is any way to go through it.
After a long struggle, he finally found a loop hole in the formation and slipped into it.
*splash*
The water level inside the formation is strangely not full. Sam fell into the knee-deep water as soon as he entered. At this moment, even his suit started having corrosive problems and he immediately took out his hoverboard and started floating.
Inside the formation it seemed like a room with hemispherical dome. It completely deterred the water from entering inside and even the knee-deep water also came inside due to small loop holes appearing for split seconds.
But Sam's concentration isn't on the dome or the water, but on the skeleton right before him. The skeleton so massive that is not even as long as its claw.
Sam felt so in significant in front of the skeleton, but the massive size isn't the reason. The reason is the powerful aura that is coming out of the skeletal remains. Even though, it is not giving him enough pressure to buckle him.
He is still feeling insignificant. His bloodlines of Sky sovereign roc and Golden sun crow activated subconsciously to repel the pressure and then only he felt relief.
There are nine snake like heads to the massive figure, hind legs like dog and talons for front limbs, a d body like a hound, and tail like a dragon.
The bones have slight hint of purple on it. The skeleton is so majestic even in this state.
”Hydra.” Sam could only mutter this word subconsciously.
Yes, the skeleton in front of him belongs to the mythical beast Hydra, but the hydra isn't completely same as that of Greek mythology of earth.
The on in the Greek mythology is Lernaean Hydra and that is only one in the world which is killed by Hercules.
The hydra in front of him are descendants of that immortal beast.
Sam let out Yanwu and Sky from the divine dimension. The formation provided him enough space to fly.
”Imprisoned Variant Hydra.” Yanwu immediately muttered after seeing the skeleton.
Obviously, Sky didn't know about it at all.
Sam looked at Yanwu with a questioning gaze and the latter explained.
”Back at home, the story of this hydra is part of history. The basic hydra having nine heads will have same abilities to all his heads but the variant hydra is not same. Each head has different type of poison and each has different ability.
The hydra tribe ostracised these variant hydras from them due to their powerful abilities and eliminated them, but the story is that a normal male hydra from royal family and a female variant hydra escaped together.
