There has been a noticeable change in the way Hydra attacks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Previously, Hydra simply attacked the enemy through the snake's head, trying to pierce the enemy with the snake's fangs and inject it with venom, but after breaking away from the infinite sword world, Hydra's attack method changed a lot, and the nine heads poured into the sea almost at the same time, sucking a large amount of seawater into the mouth, although raising the head, the sucked seawater in the mouth was sprayed out.
There has been a noticeable change in the way Hydra attacks.
Previously, Hydra simply attacked the enemy through the snake's head, trying to pierce the enemy with the snake's fangs and inject snake venom into the enemy's body, but after breaking away from the infinite sword world, Hydra's attack method changed a lot, and the nine heads were poured into the sea almost at the same time, sucking a large amount of seawater into the mouth, and then raising his head and spraying out the seawater in the mouth.
The sky was covered by a curtain of water, and a tsunami-like attack was not so easy to stop.
However, Jacksey is clearly one of those who can easily block this attack.
With a flash of red light, the ruins and soil of the house were transformed into towering walls under the transformation of his alchemy, stacked into several layers, blocking all the water curtains falling from the sky, and for a while, the walls transformed from earth and stone were as indestructible as steel, and the matter within a radius of fifty meters was under the control of Jacksy, becoming his powerful weapon.
At the same time, some of the earth and rock were converted into steel cannon doors, which fired back at Hydra.
The attacked Hydra's epidermis was not damaged, but the previous wounds did not heal, and it seemed that the internal structure of its body had changed, and its original fast-healing constitution had been transformed into indestructible skin.
"The Philosopher's Stone, troublesome thing. Looking at the tiny redstone in Jacksy's hand, Solard snorted.
"You're pretty much the same, manipulating dead bodies to fight, and that's what a guy like you would do. Jacksie remained calm, for he had seen the mystery of Hydra's body.
In fact, Berserker did kill Hydra, but not on his own, but with the help of Sorad.
At the same time that the contract is connected to Hydra's soul, the spell system attached to it is also installed on Hydra's body as a safe, but unlike the spell system of the Far Eastern Holy Grail War, Solard's spell system does not directly give orders to Hydra, but directly manipulates Hydra's body.
Realizing that Hydra could not defeat Berserker in that sea of sand, Sorad simply minimized the healing power of Hydra's body, allowing Berserker to attack him and kill him, but at the same time, she also converted this part of the healing power into the energy of Hydra's body and preserved it.
Hydra, who lost his healing powers, eventually died under the control of his own master under the attack of Berserker.
After Hydra's death, Sorad hid in its mouth, and when the inherent barrier was closed by the caster, she immediately used the gathered energy to strengthen Hydra's body, and at the same time, she relied on her own consciousness to directly control Hydra's massive body through a contract.
So now, Hydra is indeed dead, it has become a dead corpse, but it is still under the control of Sorad, although as a person, it is indeed a little difficult to control Hydra's body, but she still does it, just like now, Hydra's body is still under the control of Sorad to attack.
All along, all Sorad needed was a perfectly controllable weapon, and it didn't matter if it was conscious or not, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a big effort to abandon a Servant to control a mythical monster.
It's just that Jacksey was able to block Hydra's attack effortlessly, which surprised Sorad a little.
Although the great alchemist is equivalent to the color magician among magicians, alchemy and magic are two completely different things, and what Jack West has mastered is the purest alchemy that originated in Egypt, and the energy that supports alchemy is not magic, but the energy that exists in matter.
The Philosopher's Stone is a collection of this energy, there are many descriptions of the Philosopher's Stone in history, the fifth element, the elixir of life, the Philosopher's Stone, or the double mercury with spirit and life, it has a sun-like dazzling red appearance, and the form can be changed according to the user's thoughts, if you want it to be solid, the Philosopher's Stone will become solid, if you want it to be liquid, it will be liquid.
With the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, Jacksy is the equivalent of a chromic magician with a huge magic hearth, and his alchemy range is very wide, and there are almost no limits, which is why he can fight mythical monsters as a mere human.
"But then you arrogantly think that you have won, and you are too arrogant. Seeing the triumphant smile on Jacksy's face, Solard stretched out his hand, and the three snake heads directly bit one of Hydra's own snake heads, and then ripped it off, splashing purple blood in the air, forming a faint poisonous rain.
Hydra's venom can turn a land into a poisonous swamp, so when purple raindrops fall on Jacksy's walls, the poisonous venom will corrode the surface of the soil, which is more aggressive than the sea devil's corrosive ability.
The sea devil's corrosive fumes have a small range and cannot be exposed to the air for long periods of time, but Hydra's venom is different, they dissolve the surface of the walls and continue to erode downwards, and the soldiers who don't seem to stop are also thrown at the head of the smuggler who has also dealt a heavy blow to Jacksy's castle, and cracks have appeared in several layers of walls.
The torn off head quickly grew, and Sorad did not turn Hydra's entire body into a dead corpse, but retained the healing power of the snake head, after all, it was only a sturdy snake head, and it could not play the characteristics of Hydra itself, and only the body part of Hydra was erased from the healing ability.
"Are you talking about yourself? Sensing the erosion of the inside of the wall, the Philosopher's Stone in Jackxi's hand flashed a red light again, and the interior of the original essence was instantly transformed into a silver inner wall by alchemy, although the venom was still eroding downward, but the speed was greatly slowed down.
Among the metals, silver should be considered the most toxic resistance, even if the venom of Hydra is extremely toxic, it is difficult to cause extensive erosion of the inner walls of silver.
At the same time, from the bottom of the sea, several stone pillars rose up, and these stone pillars all pierced through the sea water without exception, and went straight to Hydra's body and the snake's head, because it was an attack from behind, Sorad had no defense against this attack, and the stone pillar was on the snake's head, causing the snake's head to shake violently, almost throwing Sorad into Hydra's esophagus.
The distance between Jacksy and Hydra is only about thirty meters, which means that there is still a range of more than ten meters in the sea that is within the range of his control, which is why he confidently dares to stand in front of Hydra, because the scope of the battle is within his territory, as long as there is the Philosopher's Stone, he can do whatever he wants.
"I see, you didn't bring a weapon, but the Philosopher's Stone, didn't you?" Solard crawled out of Hydra's mouth, covered in a lot of slime, but to be honest, the appearance of an old man over half a hundred years old was not very attractive, but it only added a subtle feeling.
"Did you just realize that the Atlas Academy's "weapon" is something that can destroy the world seven times, how can you use it? That's why I said what are you confident in? Sorad, even this mythical monster you worked so hard to create is nothing more than that. ”
Jacksy's words were full of sarcasm, he actually knew very well that it was very difficult for Sorad to rely on her own strength to control Hydra, otherwise she only needed to control all the snakeheads to attack Jacksy's castle, and even if there was a philosopher's stone, it might not be able to block the frenzied attack.
She didn't do this, which means that with Solard's ability, she can't do this.
The three heads that bit off the snake's head just now are probably the upper limit that Sorad can control, and the nine heads that sprayed water at the same time before were just barely controlled by her, otherwise the water sprayed should not be scattered into a water curtain, but gathered into a water column, so the attack power would be much stronger.
Jacksy's analytical ability does not lose his title of great alchemist, and in a short period of time, he can see Sorad's weakness, and this is only his strength, and Caster has not yet come to assist him, so the current situation is fearless for Jacksy.
On the contrary, Sorad is different, she tries to control Hydra's body and leave Jacksy's control, only to find that the constantly rising stone pillars at the bottom of the sea have locked Hydra's body, even if these stone pillars are forcibly broken, there will immediately be additional stone pillars coming up to continue to lock Hydra's body, causing Hydra's movements to be extremely slow.
Although he has always been unforgiving, Sorad has already had the intention of retreating in his heart.
This Holy Grail War was everything she didn't expect, first the white giant gave Hydra a heavy blow, so that she had to temporarily escape, and after returning to Larissa, she was trapped in the desert by the inherent barrier, so that Hydra could not use her skills, and more importantly, that damn Berserker was actually the great hero of Greece, Hercules, which perfectly restrained Hydra in terms of attributes.
In the end, I thought that by turning Hydra into a corpse, I could return to a favorable battlefield, but I found that the Hydra I controlled couldn't even defeat Jacksy.
It's a pity that time can't be turned back, and the current situation has made Shorad understand that it is a very stupid thing to try to win.
Manipulating Hydra's body and breaking the blockade of the stone pillars, Sorad intends to exit this battlefield step by step, and the head of the snake closes his mouth and protects Sorad in his mouth, so that even if Hydra dives into the water, Sorad will not be affected in any way.
"Hmph, are you going to run away?" Looking at Hydra's movements, Sorad's idea of escaping has been very clear, although he is not afraid of Hydra under Solard's control, but it is also very difficult to stop her from escaping.
However, since Hydra has lost the will to fight, it is not a problem to let her go, even if she controls Hydra to come back again, it will only be a repeat of the situation just now, and the energy stored in the Philosopher's Stone will not be exhausted until the end of this war.
