Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 548: Lightning Hell

Yanael had also realized by now that the head of Usurpation that was watching everything happening with a calm gaze was the Hydra's main head. If she could keep the other heads away during Mandra's attack, the main head would take damage. That would make it easier to kill the Hydra.

However, no matter how much she slashed at and attacked the heads and necks covering the Hydra's body and main head, they refused to budge. Eventually, she had to accept that the Hydra would rather take her attacks than the lightning.

Yanael was forced to back off unless she wanted to get caught up in Mandra's attack.

Yanael was confident in Mandra's magic control to the point where she wasn't worried about Mandra ever hitting her on accident when they fought together. But this wasn't magic energy.

Mandra had used magic energy to summon a force of nature.

This was already out of Mandra's hands. She was as much of a spectator as Zach and the others right now.

If Yanael stayed in the area, she could only blame herself if she got struck by lightning.

The Hydra bent its legs and sank to the ground, transforming into something that looked more like a stone than a seven-headed lizard.

The first blip of lightning struck, drawing a fine, jagged white line through the air between the Hydra and the sky. It did so with a soft bang like someone smacking a heavy book against the floor.

It was a light hit. The only one that flinched was Soara since she had been sitting with her eyes closed to try and understand more of her enlightenment.

Mandra frowned in confusion.

She couldn't understand why the strike was so light when more hung in the sky like a cobweb of lightning phasing through the dark clouds. She didn't get an answer to that question, but she did get another lightning strike.

This one was a little more powerful as it struck the edge of the Hydra. It barely left a scratch on the Hydra's tough scales, though.

"So far, it seems a little—"

Yanael's voice was interrupted by the low rumble that filled the air instants before a solid beam of lightning crashed down with a loud bang that would have made an ordinary human's ears pop.

"What was that?" Mandra asked teasingly without looking away. Her excitement was returning in full.

Three lightning strikes had already come down, each one stronger than the last. But there was more lightning in the sky than there was at the start.

This was it!

Yanael just cleared her throat. She had just wanted to say that it seemed like it was coming off to a gentle start. The start was gentle, but it was also short.

The fourth lightning strike was even more powerful and bright. The world plunged into darkness and eerie silence after it faded. Zips of lightning in the sky occasionally shed enough light for Zach to see the excitement on Mandra's face.

He had a feeling that she wouldn't want to hide behind a barrier, so he only increased the defenses around himself, Soara, and Yanael. He had a feeling that things were going to get intense, bright, loud, and explosive.

He was right.

After another couple of increasingly powerful lightning strikes, it seemed like the sky had warmed up enough. The sizzling smell in the air and the static electricity that raised the hair on his body was already more than he had felt during any other thunderstorm.

But the lightning wasn't here to make sure Zach and the others remembered it as the most powerful lightning they had seen. It was hanging in the sky because there was an imbalance, and it was here to fix that.

However, even after several powerful lightning strikes, the balance showed no signs of returning.

The lightning had no choice but to continue.

For a while, the lightning still struck one bolt at a time like they were waiting in line. But it didn't take long before the lightning started dropping formalities and rained down on the Hydra with never-ending thunderclaps to applaud its performance.

The world flashed endlessly with the overwhelmingly bright lightning strikes. The air shook from the booming and crashing sounds the bolts made when colliding with the Hydra's solid body.

If the Hydra screamed, it was impossible to hear.

Zach couldn't even hear his own thoughts, much less any sounds from the center of the restricted lightning hell.

Tens of lightning bolts fell within seconds of each other, each one powerful enough to turn great trees into smithereens.

Even with as many of his most powerful barriers as possible and his world essence energy fully activated, Zach did not think he could hold up for more than five seconds.

Mandra was his only SSS-rank familiar, and she was showing him why.

None of his other familiars could do something like this, and none of them could withstand it. It was an overwhelming display of might.

It had taken some preparation and the Hydra's cooperation since it hadn't done anything about it, but that was because of poor timing on the First's side.

Zach narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the Hydra.

The rain of lightning seemed like it would never end.

But the Hydra's shape seemed to remain intact on the other side of the blinding light. Smoke seemed to be rising, but it was impossible to tell if ti was because of the lightning hitting the Hydra or the lightning burning the Hydra.

It might also be an illusion or a mirage. Zach was pretty sure looking at the lightning show wasn't good for his eyes. Trying to see anything through lights brighter than the sun was foolish and hopeless.

But he had been right about one thing.

The Hydra's shape was mostly intact, at least until it started moving.

It seemed like the Hydra had figured out that the lightning wouldn't stop anytime soon unless it did something about it. So, it was going to do something about it.

Wasn't all of this because of the magic array around it? Then it just needed to get rid of that.

The Hydra's tail swept out.
