"Ho!" "Ho ho!" "Ho ho ho!"

When the sky turned black and lightning and thunder appeared over the forest, Hydra in the lake seemed to sense some fatal danger and began to roar uneasily.

It didn't know what Leo was going to do, nor what it would face next, but it at least knew that it shouldn't sit still and wait for death, so it actually sprayed venom at Leo in mid-air, causing the astonishing poison to hit him like a torrent.

However, before the venom could touch Leo, a strong wind whipped up around Leo, protecting it firmly and deflecting all the incoming venom.

Seeing this, Hydra spewed out fireballs again and attacked Leo, but the fireballs were also bounced away one by one by the strong wind that turned into a tornado, and could not touch Leo at all.

"Ho!" "Ho ho!" "Ho ho ho!"

Seeing that his attacks were unable to stop Leo, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, Hydra couldn't help it anymore, and actually prepared to dive into the water and hide at the bottom of the lake to avoid the coming danger.

But just as Hydra was about to dive underwater, the lake beneath him experienced drastic changes.

"Kacha kacha kacha--"

Amidst the sound of condensation that made one's teeth feel sour, the terrifying cold air wandered through the lake at some point, causing the lake to freeze into ice at an alarming speed.

The originally agitated lake water condensed in the cold air, and even the bottom of the lake was affected by the cold air and began to freeze. The temperature that had climbed just now was also falling violently, and soon fell below zero, causing waves of cold air to wander on the surface of the lake.

The entire lake froze into ice and turned into a piece of Frozen Land. Hydra staying in the lake was not spared. It was slowly frozen along with the surrounding lake water, and ice layers gradually appeared on its body.

"Ho!" "Ho ho!" "Ho ho ho!"

Hydra immediately roared and spit out fireballs, shattering the ice beneath him and melting the ice on his body.

Unfortunately, the cold air wandering on the lake was much stronger than it imagined. When Hydra touched it, ice quickly condensed on its body, causing it to struggle crazily and roar.

"Disappear."

As the initiator of all this, Leo had prepared his own fatal blow while being distracted by using the power of other attributes.

As Leo stretched out his hand toward the sky, violent Lightning suddenly burst out from the thick black clouds, like wandering thunder dragons, converging towards the center.

Just below that position is Hydra.

The violence and ferocity in Hydra's eyes were replaced by a burst of panic. While roaring fiercely at the sky, he kept spitting out fireballs in an attempt to break up the clouds and disperse Lightning.

If it were a being with the power of Ultimate-Class Devil, it might still be possible. However, although Hydra itself is poisonous and can regenerate, even the characters of Maou-Class will find it troublesome, but its power intensity does not reach the level of Ultimate-Class Devil. At least it cannot break up the sky dominated by Leo and disperse the dark clouds and lightning.

As a result, in the center of the dark clouds, Lightning gathered together like crazy and emitted an astonishing strong light, allowing dazzling lightning to shine through the clouds and illuminate the forest.

"Boom!!!"

The next moment, a Thunder Pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth fell from the clouds, with earth-shattering thunder, hitting the Hydra below.

It was Thunder Pillar that was huge enough to engulf Hydra's entire body. It was like Thunder God's hammer, the anger of the gods. The moment it fell, it directly shattered the ice in the entire lake, causing the shock wave to turn into a storm, sweeping across crazily.

Rubbles, rocks, gravel, ice and even trees, everything in this area lost their original shape and control under this earth-shattering blow. They were flying around with the impact of the storm, as if they had been hit by a meteorite.

The sand and dust also surged like a tsunami. The barrier where Yukino Yukinoshita, Asuna Yuuki and Utaha Kasumigaoka were located was swallowed up. The surrounding terrain collapsed, causing them to lose track.

There was only one person in the audience who remained intact, and that was Leo, who was protected by the strong wind that turned into a tornado. His figure was like a standing mountain, not even the six pieces of Devil Wings behind him could move at all. The deep black above reflected a calm face, making Leo's eyes shine with color like magic eyes in the dark night.

The huge Thunder Pillar fell right in front of Leo, as if he could reach it with his hand, making the figure of Leo facing the towering Thunder Pillar look extremely towering and powerful.

I don't know how long this scene lasted before it returned to calm.

Thunder Pillar slowly became smaller, and the lightning that illuminated the world gradually faded away, revealing the dim forest.

A shocking giant crater was slowly revealed as Thunder Pillar disappeared, replacing the original location of the lake. There was no longer a drop of water inside, only dilapidated terrain, with black smoke on one side and rock and soil exposed on the other. It really felt like being hit directly by a meteorite.

As for the vicious Hydra, he has long since disappeared.

Of course, it didn't escape, but just like the literal meaning, it was completely destroyed.

The huge Thunder Pillar swallowed up its huge body, burned its flesh and blood, and evaporated the vicious monster on the spot, eliminating even a piece of flesh.

Of course, it cannot be resurrected. Not to mention the nine vital heads, not even one skull is left. It is too dead to die.

"... is it over?"

It was only then that the girls watching the battle looked at each other one after another, muttering in a daze.

The barrier that enveloped them had become full of cracks at some point. When the sandstorm receded, the seemingly shaky barrier emerged from a piece of tattered ground and shattered, exposing them to the air again.

They looked at the place where the lake used to be, but now there was only a shocking giant pit in front of them. One by one, they all looked speechless.

"Ugh!"

Only then did the figure of Leo fly through the air, and the three pairs of Devil Wings behind it flapped slightly. They gathered up when they came in front of the girls and retracted into Leo's body.

"How's it going? I'm great, your master, right?"

Looking at the three dependents who had not fully reacted, Leo made a joke.

"I can guarantee that the blow just now, let alone just a Hydra, was a Ten-Winged Class or another Ultimate-Class Devil that came over. If it was hit hard, they would have to retire on the spot."

Unless the opponent is a foul player like Miyamoto Musashi, who can cut off space and time with two swords, and can use sword pressure to condense Nio Statue to kill people, otherwise whoever dares to directly attack the Thunder Pillar just now must be mentally prepared to fall from the altar.

The premise is that the other party is not a demon king.

If Maou-Class existed, it would probably only be able to wipe off a layer of the opponent's blood skin.

"What you did went too far, didn't you?" Utaha Kasumigaoka complained, "We are all here, and we were almost affected by you."

"Every scene of Mr. Buchou's battles is so exaggerated, it really makes people feel bad." Asuna Yuuki stroked his trembling chest and said with lingering fear, "It would be nice if I could restrain myself a little."

"I'm telling you, are you planning to get rid of us as well?" Yukino Yukinoshita also scolded, saying, "Pay more attention to your surroundings! You idiot!"

Obviously, the girls were all frightened by this battle, and each one of them couldn't help but get into trouble, and they repeatedly hit Leo.

"I also want to hold back, but there's nothing I can do about it?" Leo said confidently, "What if I don't attack hard enough and the beast is left with half a head or something, isn't it equivalent to beating it in vain?"

"Besides, it's not that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings, on the contrary, I just noticed that the senior sister opened the barrier, so I felt free to act, okay?"

With Utaha Kasumigaoka's current ability, the barrier it has set up will at least make beings below High-Class Devil helpless. Even High-Class Devil will probably have to spend a lot of effort to break it. The defense is considered very strong.

If you were directly attacked by Leo, then this barrier would naturally not be able to withstand it, but if it was just the aftermath, it would still be able to withstand it well.

The barrier-type Sacred Gear is mostly good at defense, and Utaha Kasumigaoka is a "castle" Reincarnated Devil that has both enhanced offense and defense, so Leo is quite confident in the defensive power of her barrier.

The main reason is that Hydra is really difficult to deal with, and Leo doesn't really want to give it a chance to resurrect, so it messes around a bit.

"Since that monster is so powerful, why don't you accept it as your familiar?"

After scolding Leo, Utaha Kasumigaoka calmed down and said this.

"Do you think anything can be accepted as a familiar?" Leo said angrily, "After all, the familiar contract is not as strong as the master-servant relationship in the Evil Piece system, and even the dependents reincarnated by Evil Piece may betray their masters. Needless to say, the binding strength of the familiar familiar contract cannot restrain many powerful monsters at all."

It would be fine if you were the type who voluntarily compromised and became a familiar. If a familiar like this is forced to conquer by fighting and has a very vicious temperament, you need to be on guard at all times. If you are not careful, you may be stabbed in the back.

Hydra is a ferocious creature that even its owner will poison to death Devil. Basically no one would be willing to accept it as a familiar.

"It is better to contract Hydra than to contract Tiamat. At least Tiamat can still negotiate with you. If the negotiation is completed, he will not betray you casually."

Leo said this casually.

"That's really my honor."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a strange voice rang out and responded to him.
