Chapter 604 Going All-Out!
-----
Partner conjured a powerful Blood Magic spell, a gigantic mass of spiraling Blood Energy appeared atop her spears, as she launched it against the still-regenerating Hydra\'s heads!
FLAAAASH!
The sphere reached them, flashing with bright red light before exploding!
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
It was a devastating Magic Nuke! I can\'t believe she has gotten this strong… Although she need tons of Blood to conjure the strongest stuff.
FRSSSSHHHH!
The necks began to be toasted as they had an even harder time regenerating. Meanwhile, Takeshi and Laura combined their powers, wrapping the fishing bait around the Hydra\'s front leg and then making it explode.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOMMMM!!!!
CLAASH!
The Hydra suddenly lost balance, tilting a bit into the swamps.
As all of this happened, Emeraldine, from the distance with Nyx, prepared a powerful arrow imbued with her spirit\'s powers.
Meanwhile, Nyx was helping in her own unique way, as she began summoning several Phantasmal Dragons with her special Summoning Skill, and then slowly beginning to merge them into something bigger…
And as all of that was happening, we were not just looking at the scene dumbly, we were working our asses off!
"Draconic Arts: Draconic… HELLFIRE!"
Brunhild roared, as her entire body erupted with ridiculous quantities of flames, completely covering her entire surroundings as the Holy Flames she was able to control and conjure consumed the Hydra\'s scales, melting them away and then shattering them one by one with her powerful fists!
This Draconic Art enhanced her entire body and covered it in so many flames that it made her resemble a being entirely made of fire! I had only seen it once when she fought the Ant Queen, but Brunhild was truly amazingly strong when she went serious!
"And now…! Draconic Arts: Meteor… SMASH!!!"
Brunhild suddenly flew towards the Hydra, reaching the monster in a mere instant as her right arm suddenly was coated with a ridiculous amount of Holy Flames, propelling her fist to move to an even more insane speed and clashing against the Hydra\'s scales, shattering them in an instant and hitting through the skin!
CLAAAASSSSHHH!!!
FLUOOOSSHH!
An enormous explosion of flames spread further around our surroundings. Her powerful Holy Flames easily giving us all an opening, as Lucifer flew down like a meteor made of darkness, while I began overcharging the palm of my hands with all the Mana I could muster!
"NOW!"
Brunhild gave us the command, as Lucifer attacked first. His entire body was coated in Phantasmal Flames. He could no longer wield his family\'s Holy Flames, but he had developed his own powers while he grew once more as strong as he was now.
"Draconic Arts: [Underworld\'s Hellfire]!"
FLUOOOSSSSHH!
His body erupted with black flames, not blue ones, which were even stronger than the blue ones and filled with the power of cursing the very soul of his targets. His black flames covered the Hydra\'s wounds, as a loud explosion continued breaking through the enormous wound while melting the nearby scales.
"Death Scythe!"
His Phantasmal Aura and his Death Black Flames converged together, materializing through his special Skill, which allowed him to summon an enormous scythe that could cut through souls!
"Death Scythe Arts: [Soul Piercing Slash]!"
SLAAAAAASH!
He swung the enormous scythe vertically, slicing through the Hydra\'s flesh and soul at the same time, and making the beast\'s entire body suddenly fall down in agony, its head already regenerating began screaming in agony, but too busy dealing with Partner.
Root in the other side shapeshifted his entire body, stretching his roots and branches all over the Hydra and sucking on its vitality and mana constantly, draining it from its total energy and weakening it severely! Thanks to his advanced draining abilities stacking with mine, the Hydra was quickly weakening.
And as this happened, I was ready myself too!
I combined the power of several of my Skills once more.
Chaotic Meteor, Phantasmal Flames, Black Lightning Strike, Dark Storm, and more, and then imbued it all into my gigantic Blade… Yeah, this is my strongest blow, using my hybrid weapon between a sword and a staff…

I had already absorbed souls, blood, and negative energy from the swamp monsters, and with this last infusion of power, I quickly activated my sword\'s ultimate technique…
"[DEMONIC CATASTROPHE]!"
I swung my blade vertically just into the wound, with all my strength! The black sword began overflowing with a monstrously dark aura, spreading further everywhere, and turning the entire world completely pitch black!
SLAAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!
The enormous slashing attack reached the Hydra\'s bones, finally slicing through them, the combination of Brunhild and Lucifer\'s draconic breaths quickly came from both left and right side, combining with the slashing attack of my [Demonic Catastrophe]!
"Now!"
And as if that wasn\'t enough, Emeraldine converged the enormous Phantasmal Dragon that Nyx summoned with her Spirit Power-imbued arrow, firing a gigantic arrow that reached the skies and then fell from above, fusing with my attack and that of Lucifer and Brunhild as well!
The convergence of powers spiraled together, like a piercing spear! It went through the Hydra\'s bones and then, pierced its brains, crushing them and then blowing them all into pieces as the convergence of powers exploded!
CLAAAAAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!
"GRYYYAAAAAAEEEEEGGHHH…!"
The hydra gave a last cry of agony, its entire brain was disintegrated, and its life ended in that very second!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
