Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 567: What Do You Mean?

Maura was too stunned to struggle. Never in her life had she ever been picked up like this. Never in her life had she thought it would ever happen, either. Her body was a dense mass of bone, tight muscle, and thick fur.

But the Hydra hadn't just picked her up. She had picked Maura up by the head.

Maura had lost the contest of strength. But it only made her excited. Her excitement cooled a little as the Hydra leaned backward, though, and slammed her into the ground with her back first.

The impact made a decent pit, and cracks spread through the ground, forcing Lilo and Calserra to move aside.

Maura rolled over with an excited grin.

"I don't usually consort with reptiles, but for you, I'll make an exception." She looked at the Hydra, who was flexing her hands and feeling her strength. The Hydra raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you think I'm interested?"

"..." Maura blinked. That was a good point. Maura liked the Hydra's strength. But the Hydra was stronger than Maura, so it was one-sided.

"I think you need to work on your seductive skills, Maura. You've been shot down twice now," Zach said as he flew in with a fist aimed at the Hydra's face.

It was supposed to be a surprise attack, so talking wasn't optimal. But the Hydra had already noticed him, so Zach figured it didn't matter.

The Hydra raised a palm and caught Zach's fist. However, the recklessly surging world essence energy and the strength it gave Zach took the Hydra by surprise, and her arm buckled. Her and Zach's hands almost reached her face before she regained control.

The Hydra's eyes lit up as she looked at Zach with a wide smile.

"Oh, I knew I wanted to eat you!" She said upon recognizing the world essence energy.

World essence energy was not easy to come in contact with, even more so in a form that could be consumed, eaten, or Usurped. World essence energy was such a high level energy that even the Hydra wanted it.

The Hydra raised the hand holding Zach's and pulled him close. She looked into his eyes.

"What do you say?" She asked lovingly.

Maura could only watch with a slack jaw at what was going on.

"If you mean in the literal sense, then no."

"Too bad," She said without a hint of disappointment and without the smile on her face fading. It was too bad for him since he wouldn't get what he wanted.

The Hydra started opening her mouth when two feet suddenly entered the picture and crashed into her ribcage from the side. Zach recognized those feet. Ozra had fulfilled her promise.

Zach glanced up in the split second between Ozra's impact and the Hydra being flung to the side.

The Hydra was still holding onto him.

"Hey!" He shouted angrily at Ozra as he and the Hydra tumbled through the air for a few steps.

The Hydra landed on her feet, surprised by Ozra's strength and how she had suddenly appeared without warning.

She also took the opportunity to marinate Zach a little by slamming him into the ground.

"That's what you get for holding back when fighting me!" Ozra shouted back with her arms crossed.

"Ugh."

Zach tried to get up, but the Hydra put a foot on his back.

"I did not forget what you said. If you stay down, I'll at least make it painless."

Zach would have frowned if his face hadn't been planted in the ground.

"Hmamb go u mimf?" He said. The mouthful of dirt muddled his speech a little.

The Hydra frowned before sighing and picking up Zach by the hair on the back of his head. She dangled it up and down to shake out the dirt in his mouth. Her curiosity got the best of her.

"One more time."

"What do you mean?" Zach asked again like he was sick and tired of having to repeat himself.

"What do I mean?" The Hydra asked in disbelief.

"Hmph! What do you mean?! Since when do I have kids?" She asked in outrage, pulling Zach up by his hair.

Nymur, who had been about to rejoin the fight with his sword ready to cut down the Hydra again, froze. Maura, who had been drawing circles in the sand with her claw, looked up, stunned.

Yanael, Mandra, and the metallic skeleton, who were tied together like three strings in a knot slowly pulled apart from each other. It was a tie.

"Uhh…According to my understanding of the timeline, since around the time you were sealed? There were nine of them—"

"No, don't continue. What the fuck do you mean?" The Hydra asked, as confused as Zach.

Zach glanced around, silently pleading for help since he didn't have the best understanding of the history behind the Hydra. He didn't get it.

"Well, it all happened so long ago that I guess history has been a little muddied. But before or around the time you were sealed, you had nine children."

"How come I don't know about this?" She asked with a suspicious glare.

"How am I supposed to know?" Zach asked with a helpless shrug.

"Hmm. Continue explaining, then." The Hydra could tell that Zach wasn't lying, at least not intentionally. There was something off about this situation. She didn't like it. Before she devoured Zach, she wanted to figure it out. Considering that he had her ability, she kind of had to figure it out.

"All I know is that a group of eight, formerly nine people calling themselves your Children and you Mother, have been active since the time you were sealed. Some legends say they are the product of a forbidden love between you and…" Zach could feel his life hang by a thread as he approached this topic. The Hydra's eyes were dangerously narrow as she looked at him, silently telling him to tread carefully.

"...The God of Nature—"

"THAT BASTARD!"
