Theoric stared down at the unsuspecting creature below, sword pointed down, levitating in place as he readied himself. Wielding his new power of the wind, he stopped all drag as he began to descend and used it to increase his speed. No red cape to slow him down after having it destroyed in the battle with the wind god. Just him and his armor as he rocketed down, sword extended out leading the way straight towards the spot he suspected the golden fleece would be.
The hydra however wasn't as unaware as they thought though as one or more heads were always awake to keep an eye out. The one on lookout duty today already had signaled for the others to awaken as soon as it saw Theoric attack.
He could see the one head already moving towards him to intercept as he neared, causing him to smirk at the poor fool. There was nothing that could stop him now as he increased his speed past the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom right before impact. Piercing straight through the head and into the side of the moving creature that was desperately trying to get away, throwing him off his target as he sliced through the very edge, leaving a massive gash as he slammed into the ground with a loud 'Boom!' creating a huge crater upon impact.
When the smoke debris cleared, Theoric looked up, almost doing a double-take when he saw a seven-headed hydra staring back,- "Didn't I destroy one of your heads?" He asked rhetorically wondering how getting rid of one head ended up in it getting another, while roughly recalling one of his future memories about a saying from the hydra organization, ' Cut off a limb and two more shall take its place!'
"Must be the golden fleece inside your belly, it must have mutated you," he thought aloud as he noticed the giant gash close up in record time. The angry hydra roared at him with all seven heads, but rather than being intimidated or excited as one might expect from him, he grinned thinking about how the fleece might actually work in helping Io and Anna.
Brandishing his sword with both hands he roared back as the first set of head strikes came at him.
Dodging right he sliced down severing the first head then jumped over the other two that came, watching as the severed head split into two new ones while flying around avoiding the others.
Impressed at seeing another head pop out, his inner child activated, eager to see how many more he could create as a wicked grin appeared on his face.
The girls watching from the side on the other hand didn't see things the same way as they saw two new heads form after seeing Theoric slice them apart.
"It keeps growing another head after he destroys one, how do we fight that?" Asked a concerned Sigyn.
Lydia shook her head,- "I don't know, maybe you can trap them together with your power while Thoeric cuts the fleece out of it," she said offering her advice.
Nina gritted her teeth thinking about how all this was her fault, she never felt so guilty, and now they have to fight a creature that can grow numerous heads with frightening regenerative powers.
Theoric meanwhile was losing sight of his main goal as the threat from the hydra was minimal thanks to his ability to fly. Zipping around he took his time slicing one head after another, bringing the total to 20.
Flying up out of range, he looked at the many snapping jaws trying to reach him with a wide grin on his face.
"Hold on big fella, I'm not done with you yet, but it is becoming troublesome to fly around and slice one at a time, I think I have a better idea," he said lifting his sword up, slowly creating an energy extension upwards, increasing the length so he could slice more at once.
The girls who have yet to move looked on in horror as they watched Theoric prepare to slice even more after creating so many new heads.
"What, what is he doing? He should know by now each head he destroys creates another, right?" Asked a bewildered Lydia.
"I'm sure he knows..." Said Nina not understanding why he was doing that.
Sigyn sighed, being the only one who had an inkling of what he was doing,- "I think he's just having fun, so much for helping him, he's just playing around now, I think the old Theo surfaced."
Theoric went on a rampage slicing head after head, whole sets at a time as the number started to grow exponentially.
The girls started to scream when the wave of snake-heads finally reached them.
Nina running around shooting arrows at the approaching heads, trying to blind them while Sigyn uses the forest growth to her advantage to trap and root stab any heads that approached as she retreated further in with Nina and Lydia close behind, with the latter using her sonic screams to keep them at bay.
Grani, who wasn't forgotten, grew to his full height attacking every which way until he became trapped with Sigyn yelling for him to shrink back down and follow.
Nina at some point carefully took the chance to use her eyes hoping for the best when things got tight only to see it turn to stone momentarily before reverting forcing her to give up on it.
Theoric was brought out of his fun when he heard Lydia's scream attacks, cursing himself for almost forgetting them as he took off to go find them while admiring his work as the island was slowly transformed into the island of hydra heads. He couldn't help but laugh when he noticed the body stuck under the weight of its own heads.
Finding the girls, he watched for a bit from a distance allowing them to experience a bit more before he pulled them out asking them if they had fun which got him a few glares.
Deciding it was enough, mostly by the girls, Theoric went in and sliced his way in, grabbing the Golden fleece before heading back from wince they came.
