Pov Freya:
I was holding my bow and waiting for a monster to come towards me, but what came was a three-headed Venomous Hydra, this monster is a nuisance to fight, its defense is not as strong as others of its kind, but its regeneration is a great nuisance.
Not to mention the Hydra Race’s unique ability to grow a new head to replace any head that is destroyed or mortally wounded.
Its only weak point would be its heart or its core, poisons that are normally used against monsters with high regeneration or defense capacity will also not be useful as this monster has poison resistance abilities.
“What should I do…” (I)
While thinking about what to do, I see the 3.5 meter tall Poison Hydra hit the ground and get up, her injuries were serious but start to heal very fast.
“My wind element won’t be useful, this monster will heal from any slashing or piercing attack, it’s the worst possible enemy against me.” (I)
“If I were the master here, I’m sure I would just destroy this monster’s entire body, but I don’t have the same massive destructive power as he does.” (I)
“I have to stop your wounds from healing somehow, but how…” (I) 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“(If I had Irina’s corrosion skill or érica and Lilith’s curse skill it would be much easier.)” (I)
I start to think until an image that was once grotesque comes to mind, this happened in the mountain range during one of the battles against Farus’ troops.
I remember Layla using an unnecessarily cruel technique, but that technique was perfect for me at the moment, but I’m going to need something.
I put something in 5 of my arrows and use what I learned from Elf Queen Luthien by focusing my Ki, mana, and spiritual energy into these arrows along with my Nature Aura to increase the power of this technique.
“I’ve never done this before, I hope it works.” (I)
I place the 5 arrows on my bow and create three magic circles in front of the bow.
“< Increase Speed ??> ×2” (I)
“< Illusory Arrows >” (I)
As soon as my arrows leave the bow they double speed twice in the first two magic circles, when it passes through the third the 5 arrows become a hundred.
Hydra noticed the large number of arrows heading towards it, so it used a poison breath attack to destroy the arrows instead of deflecting them, but it was useless.
Her poison attack only destroyed the Illusory arrows while hiding my 5 arrows in her poison cloud, thanks to that Poison Hydra cannot defend against my attack, and her body is pierced by the 5 arrows.
The arrows were Ki-enhanced, so they wouldn’t be that easy to destroy.
The arrows hit all targets, 3 arrows hit each of the Poison Hydra’s heads and 2 hit the body.
“< Accelerated Growth >” (I)
“< Strengthen >” (I)
“< Control of Nature >” (I)
I’ve been on hand to the Hydra that is far away and I try to control my aura to activate the seeds that were at the tips of the 5 arrows and control the accelerated growth of the trees inside the monster.
I can see things running through the monster on the inside of its body, soon its body seems to swell as it screams, then branches and roots start to come out of its body making big wounds.
He tries to move, but his body is rigid due to the wood inside, his organs must be being torn apart while branches and roots continue to come out of his body.
In the end, his body became something grotesque, falling to pieces while a cluster of 5 trees covered in blood took root in the place where the pieces of Hydra were.
Sigh
“That worked, but I spent more than half of my full power, I also think I used more seeds, 1 or 2 would have been enough.” (I)
“Let’s go to the next one.” (I)

Pov Jade:
I was ready to face any enemy, but why did it have to be a monster with Illusion abilities?
My enemy was a monster whose upper body looks like a woman and the lower part has wooden tentacles, her eyes are completely green just like the color of her skin, she has tree bark growing from her arms and she can throw stakes with Mana-enhanced wooden spikes in large numbers on me.
“What a troublesome monster.” (I)
I was surrounded by dozens of illusions of this monster, its attacks were fast, in addition, there were a few times that it tried to hold me with its wooden tentacles, but I used my tail as a whip breaking its wooden tentacles to pieces.
Since then that monster doesn’t come near me anymore, all it does is keep its distance while throwing its wooden stakes or trying to cut me with wooden splinters.
I can always defend myself using my spear, but I can’t land a direct hit like that.
“Since I can’t fight hand-to-hand, I can only test it in combat.” (I)
“< Poison Serpents >” (I)
I spit poison on the ground and control it to form a magic circle that I use to create ten large green snakes that automatically begin attacking nearby enemies.
After a few minutes, I find the monster’s real body and use my spear to cut off one of its arms while the other arm reaches out, piercing my stomach.
“< Acid Poison Breath >” (I)
I hold that arm with one hand and breathe a venomous breath at the monster that eats its body then pierce its head with my spear ending this fight.
“I was careless to be injured by this attack.” (I)
I take a potion to heal myself before starting to head in another direction to look for the next enemy.
“I have to stop being so rushed to finish the fights, it’s making me have a lot of openings.” (I)
I reflect on what I could have done differently in this battle as I follow a Fairy leading me to the nearest enemy.
