Yanael had also realized by now that the head of Usurpation that was watching everything happening with a calm gaze was the Hydra's main head. If she could keep the other heads away during Mandra's attack, the main head would take damage. That would make it easier to kill the Hydra.
However, no matter how much she slashed at and attacked the heads and necks covering the Hydra's body and main head, they refused to budge. Eventually, she had to accept that the Hydra would rather take her attacks than the lightning.
Yanael was forced to back off unless she wanted to get caught up in Mandra's attack.
Yanael was confident in Mandra's magic control to the point where she wasn't worried about Mandra ever hitting her on accident when they fought together. But this wasn't magic energy.
Mandra had used magic energy to summon a force of nature.
This was already out of Mandra's hands. She was as much of a spectator as Zach and the others right now.
