“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!”
“!!!”
At the moment the cornered Hydra let out a deafening cry, a sound like a thunderclap echoed through the air.
As if protecting its core, the Hydra’s toxic tentacles emerged from the ground. Simultaneously, a giant magic circle appeared in the sky above the Hydra.
Immediately after, a terrifying light fell upon the city, causing the vampire adventurer Telomere to widen their eyes.
“…!? This is an annoying skill with an incredibly wide range! Its effect is…a total status reduction!?”
It was the sinister skill the Poison Slime Hydra had been hiding. Although it did not have much of an effect on the S-class adventurers among the Telomere vampires due to its wide effective range, its impact on the town’s residents and adventurers, who were weaker than the Hydra, was devastating.
“Ah…ugh…!?”
Their bodies suddenly felt heavy, their arms lost strength. Their defense power was probably dangerously low.
Numerous tentacles writhed like they were protecting the core, making it difficult for them to move quickly after their sudden status reduction.
However, most of them were experienced adventurers who had overcome various battles, albeit as intermediate-level adventurers. A few of them, including close-combat professionals, ran towards the core, determined to break through the tentacles despite their lowered status.
But the Hydra’s trump card was not its tentacles or its wide-range status-reducing skill.
Bam! Bam! Several holes appeared on the Hydra’s body, making an unpleasant noise. It was as if it were taking a deep breath, preparing for the next moment.
“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!”
A monstrous roar shook the entire city.
However, this was different from the meaningless roars the Hydra had been making until then. It was a single blow imbued with tremendous magical power, the skill called “Howl Roar.”
The effect of this skill would force the opponent to fall into fear-induced confusion and forced paralysis, which increased as the difference in strength between the user and the target grew.
“UUUUUAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!?!?”
The crowd, which had been calmed down by the activities of the Dragon God Tribe Leone, was thrown into a panic in an instant.
“What…?! This Poison Slime Hydra has both the wide-range status-reducing skill and the high-level Howl Roar!?!”
Leone, a member of the Dragon God Tribe, murmured in shock as their face distorted in anxiety. Although Howl Roar was not as effective against the Leone clan as the status-reducing skill, their expression showed clear signs of worry.
Behold! The tentacles are a menace that can revive themselves and even a small fragment can cause fatal damage to those around it. Evading them is the only option. Push forward on the battlefield with the least amount of effort possible.
But at that moment, a deafening roar echoed.
“Doooooogooooooooo!”
“What?!”
Several tentacles sprouted up and blew away the stone-built inns that lined the main street from their foundations. The tentacles themselves weren’t much of a threat. The problem was the collapsing buildings.
A large number of people were crouching at the point of impact.
If it were just one or two people, they could have been rescued quickly by relying on speed, but with dozens of people frozen in place, that was impossible. Therefore, Elysia had no choice but to cut through the gap between the collapsing buildings without hesitation.
“Skill――!”
Elysia leaped into the air and swung two swords at an incomprehensible speed. In an instant, the stone-built buildings were relentlessly chopped up into tiny gravel-like pieces. The finely chopped stone was blown away by the sword pressure, leaving the panicked people unharmed.
But―― the price was not cheap.
“What!? Darn――”
The after-effect of the technique due to using a big move while the status was low. It was a disadvantageous field for Elysia, who was still unable to move in mid-air. At that moment, several new tentacles appeared from directly below Elysia, as if waiting for that moment.
The inevitable attack caused by the combination of multiple factors caught Elysia.
“Ugh!? Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!?”
Dozens of poisonous tentacles gathered and caught Elysia, squeezing her to the limit. White smoke and a burning smell rose from her pale skin, and a piercing scream echoed from Elysia’s mouth.
“Oh, brave hero!?”
As a result of the Dragon God Tribe Leon and his two companions hearing the outcry from the nuclear explosion’s failure, the people of the city were no better off than in a state of panic, their screams intensifying.
And then, the people in the city heard the equally agonized screams of the three Lion clan members.
“What!? The hero is a woman!?”
They couldn’t believe their ears, thinking it must be a mistake. However, considering her abnormal strength as a human of that age, the highest-class equipment inscribed with the royal crest, and the fact that Sariela sent her as a reinforcement in this situation, it was highly likely that she was a descendant of the hero.
The three realized their mistake and their morale was significantly damaged. But wait! If the hero dies here, then no men will come to the city…
“Ooooh nooooooo! “ Woe and misery befalls me, as my pitiful scream echoes throughout the land!
