The Strongest Female Masters, Who Are Trying to Raise Me Up, Are in Shambles Over Their Training Policy - V1Ch8: The Battle of the World's Strongest Fighters

The Basculbia, which had been bustling with the Harvest Festival, suddenly fell into great panic due to the appearance of a super giant monster. The body of the continuously expanding Poison Slime Hydra overflowed from the redevelopment district, and its ominous colored venomous body engulfed buildings and approached the crowd.

Screams and shouts echoed, and even seasoned adventurers turned their backs and fled from the monster with a danger level risk of 9. Amidst this chaos, a boy named Cross Alacalt stood frozen in astonishment, staring up at the Poison Slime Hydra. His body, with all stats at 0, shrank in front of the overwhelmingly powerful creature, rendering him helpless and motionless.

Unintentionally, Cross found himself confronting the Poison Slime Hydra, and what he saw was a nightmare-like scene. Countless dragon heads howled high above the castle walls, and huge necks descended with the force to split clouds. And soon, the wall of venom, which was almost upon Cross and his companions, threatened to engulf them all.

Behind them, people crowded the narrow path, blocking the way, and the sounds of screams and angry shouts still echoed loudly.

“What can we do now…?” cried Cross, his voice filled with despair, as the venomous body relentlessly pressed in, threatening to swallow them whole.

“Incantation of the Highest Ice Magic! Absolute Zero!”

With a loud voice, a change occurred. The wall of poison, which was about to attack Cross and his companions, suddenly froze. However, only the wall of poison stopped moving.

The countless dragon heads that grew from the body scattered frost over their skin, slowing their movements but still moving around without regard, and the even larger neck that covered the sky was still falling towards Cross and his companions.

“I’ll take you on!”

And then a red-haired figure collided with the giant neck, creating an enormous impact that sent Cross flying into the midst of the crowd. He cried out, “What the…!?” and looked up in alarm.

To his amazement, the red-haired figure had grabbed the giant neck, holding it still in mid-air, while the blond figure continued to release an immense cold that prevented the monster from inflating any further.

“What the…!” Cross was left speechless by the sight.

(There are only two…no, three women floating in the air, holding that thing back…!?)

For Cross, the situation was far more surreal than the appearance of the Poison Slime Hydra. He didn’t even understand what was happening to him.

Hear me, High Elf Ludmila! Can you not increase the output of your ice magic any further? While your poison body can protect the people of the city from being consumed, the beast’s head remains intact! This won’t freeze the core of its body!

The one shouting was none other than the Dragon God Tribe Leone, who was using her abnormal physical abilities to kick herself into the air and hold the gigantic Hydra’s head in place like a river.

However, Ludmila, who was floating in the air with her staff, responded with a gloomy expression: “This Hydra has much higher magical defense and recovery capabilities than expected! It’s not easy to freeze it, and if we do, it’s only the surface that will be frozen, and it will quickly recover. If we increase the output any more, the backlash alone could kill people!”

Upon hearing these words, the Dragon God Tribe Leone furiously clicked her tongue. She couldn’t unleash her full power because she was worried about the people below her being harmed by the wind pressure when she kicked herself into the air, and she was struggling to keep the Hydra’s head down.

“Damn it! This is so annoying! Normally, I would just beat this huge monster to death with speed that it can’t keep up with its recovery!”

“Don’t be impatient, Dragon God Tribe Leone! I’ve inspected it up close, and the poison of this Hydra is an extremely powerful toxin! Even intermediate classes will die instantly from just a few drops of it! Don’t shatter it!”

“I know that! Stop stating the obvious!”

It was clear from the fact that Leone’s own palms were stinging after touching the Hydra’s skin that Ludmila’s words were not an exaggeration. The poison was so potent that it could even harm the skin of the Dragon God Tribe, who had reached the pinnacle of their class, and it would undoubtedly be fatal to lower-ranked classes and could even be fatal to higher-ranked ones, depending on the amount.

That was why Leone could not strike the Hydra’s head as powerfully as she wanted to, and was forced to stop it, becoming more and more stressed.

This situation was not sustainable. They had to find a way out.

“Hey, Vampire Telomea! How about you?” Leone yelled.

“Hmm… I guess my harassment skills don’t work well with shapeless beings with ultra-recovery abilities like this. Plus, there’s the distance factor, and it doesn’t seem to be very effective.”

The one who responded to the call was Telomea, a vampire who was hanging off Ludmila’s staff with one hand.

“Well, if long-range harassment skills don’t work, then… hmm.”

“Yes, I don’t like it much, but we don’t have any other options.”

Ludmila nodded at Telomea’s murmur, and in the next moment…

“GOOOOOOOOOO!”

Without hesitation, Ludmila unleashed a powerful flame on Telomea’s back…

And then, a massive breath that numbered around 500 was unleashed towards the city below and the dragon god tribe Leone. Each dragon head unleashed a breath of a different attribute – fire, water, wind, and earth – scattering an out-of-specification range attack with tremendous power in every shot. However, amidst the ongoing attack,

“Attack with all basic attributes! Quad mage skill, All Mage Magic, !”

High Elf Rudmila, who had flown at high speed to a height where she could overlook the Hydra, launched a large amount of magic attacks from above, offsetting the breath released by the Hydra.

A tremendous flash erupted over Basclvia, generating an intense impact from the collision of supernatural magical power. The barrage of bullets, which went beyond human comprehension, continued without end.

As soon as the Hydra was offset, it released a new breath, and High Elf Rudmila continued to cancel it out with her magical power and concentration that could not be considered human.

“Yaaaaaah!”

Amidst the ongoing battle that felt like the end of the world, the vampire Teromera continued to cast forbidden magic skills without any interference.

And at the moment it exceeded a certain threshold, it happened.

Squish squish squish – kupa!

The core of the Poison Slime Hydra, which had developed an aversion reaction to the out-of-specification forbidden magic skill, was exposed to the outside of its body. Caves-like holes appeared on the surface of the Hydra’s body, and a jewel-like core glowed inside.

As the vampire Teromera had intended, all that was left was to destroy it. However,

“Oh, the core came out in a weird place… the disadvantage of this method is that the location of the core exposure is random, right?”

“I wish it would come out around the neck, but it seems like it won’t work out that well.”

The core was exposed in a blind spot just outside the attack range of the three people. A cave-like hole had opened up where the wall of venom, which was trying to swallow up the nearby main street, came into contact with the ground.

From the position of the three people, only the edge of the hole was visible, and the core, which shone deep inside, was not visible due to an angle problem.

The dragon god tribe Leone could not leave the current situation because of its huge neck, and if the vampire Teromera swam through the Hydra’s body with brute force, the frozen poison on its surface would scatter. 

High Elf Rudmila was continuing to activate  while offsetting the multi-attribute breath emitted by the countless heads, leaving no room for a single mistake in the midst of the intense barrage of bullets. Of course, everyone was keeping some energy in reserve for unforeseen circumstances, but there was no opening to aim at an invisible core. 

Fortunately, this was the adventurers’ holy land. And the core…
