The air within the corrupted dungeon grew heavier as Maria and Gracier stepped into the next room. What awaited them was a monster comparable to Emperor level monster,—a seven-headed hydra, its massive form towering over them. Each head was a different color, representing a unique elemental affinity: fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, and poison.
The hydra's scales shimmered with a menacing glow, and its eyes radiated primal malice. Its massive body pulsated with chaotic energy, a stark reminder of the dungeon's berserk state. The sheer pressure of its presence would have made lesser adventurers falter, but Maria and Gracier exchanged only a determined glance.
"This one's going to be tough," Gracier said, fire flickering around her hands. "Think we can handle it?"
Maria's lips curved into a confident smile.
"Together, we can handle anything."
