Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 566: Strength

The Hydra's eyes widened slightly when she noticed the power Calserra and Leana were using.

"We remember this power. Your mastery over it is impressive. For a human."

The next moment, the ruby cloud enveloped the Hydra.

Domination was a power that controlled—dominated the target. It could be anything from the arrow or sword another was trying to kill one with to the blood in another's vessels. All it took was for the domination aura, which was a manifestation of the user's will and could move at the speed of thought, to make contact.

Naturally, dominating another person and moving the aura at the speed of thoughts required extensive training and talent. Fortunately, Calserra had both those things.

The Hydra, on the other hand, was weaker to domination than anything else after having possessed and then lost that power.

The battle should have been in Calserra's favor. Still, she could feel the Hydra's fierce resistance from within the red domination aura. She grunted from exertion and gritted her teeth as she closed her fists as if to squeeze the aura even tighter. Beads of sweat pearled on her skin.

Anyone else would have already succumbed to the pressure and turned into a meatball.

The Hydra certainly felt it. Calserra's attack was powerful enough to draw cracks in her skin and draw blood. The vessels in the Hydra's eyes even burst, giving her a slightly terrifying appearance.

She snorted. Black flames burst out from every spot on the Hydra's body, burning away the domination aura. The block of domination aura exploded, the shards fading like memories.

Calserra stumbled, blood trickling out of her nose.

Poisonous smoke from the fire pervaded the area.

Lilo, like most members of the Evandiel family, inherited an affinity for fire. Her specialty was fire magic. That was useless against the Hydra. That was why she was going against her nature to use water and ice magic against the Hydra. But she quickly gave up on that after seeing the poison fire the Hydra used to break out from her mother's domination aura.

Lilo wasn't strong enough to attack the Hydra.

Instead, she could support the others by blowing away the smoke and keeping them safe from the poison.

There was just one problem. The Hydra also ruled the air. Any attempts Lilo made at conjuring wind to blow away the smoke backfired.

Everything the Evandiel family tried ended in failure. And it ended so quickly that Zach and the others just watched it happen.

However, Zach wasn't going to stay still when the Hydra rampaged. He wasn't the only one that moved.

Maura's blood had already boiled too long without seeing any action.

The next thing that happened in the fight was a large polar bear that dwarfed the Hydra charging right at her, letting out a guttural roar. Maura raised a heavy paw and swatted down at the Hydra like she was going to squash a bug.

The Hydra met Maura's paw with a relaxed upward swat of her own.

But unlike what the Hydra expected, Maura's paw wasn't sent away. She was forced to carry the brunt of Maura's weight as she pushed down on the Hydra.

The Hydra revealed an opening as she used both hands to resist the overlapping paws of the oversized bear. She could use her powers to force Maura back, but the Hydra wanted to test her body's limits.

Nymur saw that opening and dashed forward again, crouching behind the Hydra with his sword behind him. He lashed out, drawing a glistening curve through the air before the Hydra could react.

The Hydra's body tried to resist Nymur's sharp blade but did not succeed. He cut open the Hydra's back. It was deep enough to scratch her spine.

It was an attack that would have crippled an ordinary person.

The Hydra felt a bout of instability as the damage to her spine weakened the connection in her body, but only for a moment.

The powers of regeneration that could heal areas the size of a house when she was in her previous form was now concentrated in a body a fraction of the size. Naturally, it took more for her powers to regenerate her now since her current physique was more complex and advanced. The regeneration in terms of blood drops recovered per second was lower.

But the amount of blood to recover was less than a fraction.

It was just like how the injuries Calserra inflicted disappeared before she had the time to see them when the Hydra escaped the domination aura.

The wound closed almost before Nymur had the chance to evaluate his success.

Still holding up the bear that was trying to crush her with all its might, the Hydra glanced back at Nymur. He was a little dirty from the previous attack but still mostly fine.

Nymur felt a chill run down his spine as the Hydra's eyes twinkled before her leg suddenly shot out backward, kicking Nymur up into the air.

Calserra caught him with her domination aura and put him down next to her while the Hydra threw off Maura's hands hard enough to make her stumble backward. Maura's fur rippled as she went down on all fours and growled at the Hydra. The two started circling each other.

Maura was face-to-face with someone physically stronger than her for the first time in ages. The Hydra was standing before someone who could help her find her body's limits.

Neither saw a reason to hold back.

Maura's claws tore through the dirt and stone beneath her as she charged.

The Hydra bent her legs slightly as she gathered her strength before receiving Maura's tackle, which was more like a bull's charge. She caught Maura by the snout and held it under her arm as she dug her feet into the ground.

Maura ripped apart the ground as she pushed forward, trying to raise the Hydra up.

But instead, the Hydra started putting pressure on the underside of Maura's head and throat. She leaned backward. With a roar of her own, the Hydra flipped the tables on Maura by picking her up by the head and balancing her, furry ass touching the clouds.
