Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1283 Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast (3), Lightning Clones

1283 Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast (3), Lightning Clones

Though he had just stepped into the 7th-order demigod, his strength was much more powerful than those in the same realm. Even if his strength was halved, he doubted that the Hydra, who seemed to have also just stepped into the realm of the divine, could defeat him. Nonetheless, he was curious about his strength.

The spark of bluish lightning continued to gather in the air until it fully formed the figure of a man—himself. A clone made from fierce bluish sparks of lightning.

Then, Orion deactivated his gift and withdrew his hand. Iy'yra and the other White Winged Gryphons widened their eyes in astonishment at the sight before them. They had never expected that the leader of their group could control such fierce lightning to such a minuscule level.

Truly worthy of being a divine being!

The being made of lightning looked at its arms and body before focusing on Orion. With a nod, it vanished with a streak of lightning.

Crackle!! Crackle!!

The lightning clone reappeared before the Hydra.

"Your control over the element is impressive, just like hers. But you shouldn't underestimate me or fail to take this battle seriously," the Hydra said, narrowing its eyes at Orion. It knew that inhabitants of the Material Realm had their strength halved when entering the Spirit Realm, just as Spirit Beasts experienced when entering the Material Realm. It was a bit dissatisfied, feeling that Orion was looking down on it by sending a clone made of lightning, which implied disrespect.

How could such an individual claim to lead an entire territory against a formidable force like the Celestial Spirit Court?

If he encountered the Aristocrat-Ranked Spirit Beasts that it had faced, wouldn't his defeat be swift and exceedingly painful?

"I don't underestimate you. That's one of the strongest abilities I can use at the moment," Orion replied, shaking his head. The lightning clone contained traces of divinity, allowing it to act independently and possess strength equal to his halved power. The only limitation was that it couldn't use any other skills or techniques. To do that, he would need to create a genuine clone, but depending on the resources used, such a clone could only utilize twenty to eighty per cent of his current strength. Unless he possessed gifts like Greta, his mother, and some of his wives, who could create clones with their full power or had mastered the required laws, it was nearly impossible for him to achieve the same.

The artefacts he carried were ready to be used at any moment, so his combat capability wasn't weak. One reason for sending the lightning clone was to test his own power purely through his gift. So, in truth, he was holding back a little.

The Hydra nodded. Realizing Orion was taking the fight lightly, it chose not to say more. They had intruded into its home and disturbed its peace—it wanted revenge. But it had to hold back after sensing the imposing strength of the woman hovering in front of the group. Now that the group's proclaimed leader has stepped up, it will use the opportunity to express its dissatisfaction.

The lightning clone generated a spear of lightning and hurled it toward the Hydra. The spear traversed the distance in the blink of an eye, its tip aimed directly at one of the Hydra's heads.

SWISH! SWISH!

The Hydra reacted swiftly, twisting its long, sinuous neck to the side, dodging the attack. If it were any other elemental attack, dodging might have been enough to avoid danger.

Unfortunately for the Hydra, Orion's lightning construct was a living entity. So was its spear.

The lightning-forged spear turned midair, adjusting its trajectory, and immediately struck one of the Hydra's seven necks.

BOOOMMM!! CRACCKK!!

The sixth neck, covered with shards of crystal, exploded into bits, leaving behind a charred, mangled stump that fell limp to the side.

"AHHHHH!!" All seven heads of the Hydra roared in agony.

The soundwaves rippled outward, shattering the frozen plains around them and causing the entire underground to tremble violently.

"YOU! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!" the Hydra roared in fury, its voice laced with both pain and fear.

Instantly, all six remaining heads opened their jaws. Crimson flames gathered in the first, purple mist in the second, white lightning in the third, a powerful gust of wind in the fourth, an immense inky-black ball of darkness in the fifth, and green fire in the sixth.

Witnessing the scale of the attack, Fifi quickly formed a barrier around the entire group.

Then, the Hydra launched its combined attack at the lightning clone.

SWOOSH!! BANG!!

BOOM!!

The attack struck the lightning clone simultaneously, cutting off any chance of escape. However, the clone hadn't planned to escape. Instead, it created a lightning barrier, preparing to take the onslaught head-on.

The underground began to shatter and collapse under the terrifying shockwaves generated by the attack. The frozen magma below melted, and the boiling magma intensified, generating an astonishing, scorching heat that filled the air.

A shadowy blanket began wrapping around the lightning clone. So terrifying!

Iy'yra and the other White Winged Gryphons knew that if it weren't for the protective barrier, they would have been obliterated just by being in the range of such a devastating attack.

One must know that the stronger the accumulation of spiritual energy in the environment, the less likely it is to be destroyed by the collision of two formidable beings. This was one of the reasons stronger Spirit Beasts resided in such areas—to avoid the destruction of their homes merely by using their abilities.

Yet, despite the overwhelming force of the attack, the lightning clone's barrier continued to hold its ground.

Meanwhile, Syvalis observed the scene with wide, curious eyes filled with excitement. She couldn't wait to show Grace such a formidable Spirit Beast.

The group soon noticed that the Hydra's destroyed head was regenerating rapidly, returning to its original state as though it hadn't been damaged at all. Like the others, it opened its jaws, releasing a concentrated burst of crystal shards toward the lightning clone's barrier.

In an instant, the barrier shattered.

BANG!!!

The shadowy blanket wrapped around the lightning clone like a cage as the concentrated bombardment launched it backwards, pierced through the underground cavern system, and shot upwards, creating a massive hole.

Then, the Hydra slowly ceased its attack.

The cloud of dust in the air began to clear, revealing the bright, misty sky as mysterious light poured into the underground cavern. In the distance, the upper half of the volcano was decimated, as though it had been cleaved through, reducing the size of what was once an active volcano.

Orion narrowed his eyes at the Hydra's abilities. The attacks it had just unleashed were equivalent to that of a mid-to-low 7th Order Demigod, which was comparable to his current full capabilities. So, he wasn't surprised that the lightning barrier had collapsed. Instead, he was impressed by the Hydra's power, which demonstrated that it genuinely possessed some skill.

However, as the wielder of Vylkr energy, his abilities couldn't be measured in the same way as those who utilized divine energy. Even if his strength was halved, a Spirit Beast on the same level as a mid-7th Order Demigod wasn't strong enough to defeat him.

As the sound of boiling magma filled the surroundings, a crackling sound of lightning echoed through the air.

Crackle! Crackle!

"How?" the Hydra exclaimed in shock, staring in confusion at the lightning clone, which had regained the same intensity as before.

All seven heads snapped toward the group. It had been keeping a close eye on them from the start, in case they made any sudden movements, and knew they hadn't interfered in the battle. Still, it had no idea how the lightning clone had survived its attack.

"Your attack nearly destroyed it. Fortunately, it managed to regenerate its damaged parts," Orion explained calmly.

The Hydra listened to Orion's words but made no response.

Instantly, the Hydra's necks spread apart and began to split. Each neck grew a lower body of its own, possessing similar attributes to the original, and soared into the air as if it were an independent entity. One by one, the newly formed bodies surrounded the lightning clone.

"I want to see how you'll escape now," all seven Hydra's split bodies spoke in unison, demonstrating that even though they had divided, they were still connected as part of the same being. All six heads opened their mouths, preparing to unleash another attack. But before they could, a shocking sight unfolded.

The lightning clone stretched its hand forward. Streaks of lightning shot out, forming another lightning clone. Both clones stretched their hands outward, and two more lightning clones appeared. This continued until each of the Hydra's seven bodies was faced by an individual lightning clone.

'It can split itself,' the Hydra thought, its eyes widening in shock and disbelief. Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
