It was an actual Hydra—a beast of legend that was thought to be virtually unkillable due to its unnatural regenerative abilities.
According to the legends, every time one of its heads was cut off, another two would grow in its place!
Right now, everyone secretly hoped that the Hydra before them did not stay true to the legends; otherwise, how were they supposed to defeat something that could regenerate infinitely?
"So this is a World Class beast of the crusade." Niflheim internalized as his gaze met with the Hydra's.
Niflheim employed his Maw of the Devouring Beast, targetting the Hydra's middle head, and swiftly followed up with Assimilate.
After he used Assimilate, the shield in Niflheim's hand transformed into a thin silver circular disc approximately 45 centimeters in diameter. In addition, two more silver discs appeared. One of the discs hovered at his right side and the other to his left.
