Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 550: Leaving
Everyone on the thirtieth floor instantly realized what the Hydra was doing, like struck by lightning.
All of them realized that it would be even more impossible to stop the Hydra once it left the Labyrinth. It would also be too late by then.
As soon as the Hydra set foot outside the Labyrinth, the area would be destroyed. Annihilation would spread through the East and bring the land to ruin. Countless would die.
Nymur, Calserra, Leonidas, Leonia, Leana, Lilo, and Lily looked at Zach. They were a distance away, but Zach felt their sharp glares.
It was clear that they were blaming him for this. He had screwed over all of their plans and set the Hydra free.
Zach shrugged.
"I told you the seal was breakable." He didn't know if they heard him or not, but he didn't care. He turned to Soara.

"You can take care of Alzara and Lexi, right?"
"Of course, Master." Soara nodded. She had recovered as much as she could, but it would take more than that to deal with the fully awoken Hydra. It would be best if she used her strength to make sure they didn't lose anyone. There was also something important to be done now that the Hydra had been injured.
Zach looked at Yanael and Mandra, silently asking if they were ready. They nodded with determined expressions.
The real fight was starting now.
After glaring at Zach for a few seconds, Leonia spurred the family into action, and they left the floor. The Sesha did the same. Maura hesitated slightly before moving. She looked at Zach, worried about the daughter she couldn't see anywhere. She knew Visla would have joined the fight.
She loved her daughter and was hopeful for her future, but there was no way in hell or heaven Visla Maura was strong enough to last even half an exchange against the Hydra. Since there were no traces of her, Maura feared the worst.
But she also knew Zach wasn't the type to let Visla die just like that, so she set aside her worries and focused straight ahead. If they were both alive after this, she could always ask Zach what happened to Visla.
She left with her warriors.
The Arlecchs also looked at Zach before leaving. The Ugris had left first.
Zach waited until they were the only ones left. He looked at Soara and gave her a nod before focusing.
He just had to express his intentions to move up through the floors. Now that the Hydra was gone, they were no longer locked in combat. The Labyrinth wouldn't stop them.
But moving through the floors was something that relied on teleportation.
It was similar to how Zach moved to and from Haven.
The others could only rely on the Labyrinth picking up their will.
Zach could facilitate the move himself. He was familiar with it.
He not only clearly expressed his desire to move up, but he also used his world essence energy to invite himself up. Of course, without the Labyrinth's cooperation, he was just making himself glow a little. Or he might take himself to Haven again.
But since the Labyrinth cooperated with him, he and his two familiars flashed through the floors so quickly that the others didn't even notice they had been bypassed.
Zach felt a sense of vertigo overtake him after only a few floors.
It wasn't just one teleportation, after all. He was doing it almost several times each second. One teleportation could be enough to make someone else grow faint of stomach and bid farewell to their breakfast.
Zach didn't feel much from only one teleportation, but when they stacked onto each other like that, he started feeling like it was a good thing that he had stopped eating.
He glanced at Yanael and Mandra, the only two constants in his flashing surroundings. Yanael was composed. The way she gripped her sword and had her wings folded but still summoned told him that she was ready to fight at a moment's notice.
Mandra was anything but composed. Teleportation could be considered within the realm of magic. Of course, she wanted to study this rapid teleportation with everything she had. Her eyes glowed as she read the flow of the air, themselves, and the magic behind the teleportations.
It was only then that Zach remembered she had offered to teleport back to the Academy after their graduation when they forgot Nora before heading to the Imperial Palace. He hadn't needed to take her up on that offer and had forgotten about it. But maybe there was something behind it.
Zach pinched his nose bridge.
Distracting himself hadn't worked. He was still feeling a little queasy.
He held his breath and endured. He had to get to the surface as quickly as possible.
He had wanted to screw over his family's plan to prove to them that they were wrong and wasted countless lives because of it. It had kind of worked so far since he had destroyed the seal mostly by himself.
But all of that would be for naught if the Hydra reached the surface and wreaked the havoc the God of Nature stopped it from wreaking all those ages ago, not to mention all the death and suffering it would cause.
With those wings, it would be impossible to catch up to, much less stop the Hydra once it got away.
Zach could fly with his barriers, but he was not confident he could match the speed wings the size of those on the Hydra's back could generate. If it wanted to, laying waste to all of the eastern part of the Empire in an afternoon was completely doable. The rest would only take a day.
That was why Zach couldn't slow down on the way out of the Labyrinth.
Fortunately, his body was incredible.
He grew dizzy, but he reached all the way to the first floor without puking or passing out. He stopped to take a quick breath before leaving the Labyrinth with his two maids, fearing the worst.
What they saw upon their exit shocked them.
