After teleporting somewhere with no eyes watching them, Dyze immediately ran north at super sonic speed, followed by her two women and a servant behind her.
…
***
It only took half a full day for those moving beyond the speed of sound to reach the far end of the northern continent of Stolas. They are now in the mountains and hills high enough to close their eyes.
“What is this?”
“Yes, it should be as written on this map, behind those mountains then there will be oceans separating between continents.”
“Wait what else--!?”
A violent shock felt on their ground, Dyze and the others could feel a super-giant-sized creature walking towards them.
“That creature.!” – Argus muttered by itself when he saw a giant monster with a dragon body but had 9 heads.
“...Hydra!”
“That giant creature Hydra is his name huh? But fighting with an Animal the size of a mountain I don't think is bad as a stress reliever.”
A black aura shrouded his body again, Dyze's expression that had seemed to be no problem now became flat and put on a sharp eye highlight. After retrieving the wooden sword that Chloe had provided, she immediately shot towards ‘Monster’ who was trying to get out of the mountains.
Chloe catches up with the blue sword she has in her grasp, Claire's eyes turning orange, indicating she has prepared the Barrier if needed.
“I'm less alert anymore.” – Argus is upset with him because he still can't keep up with their movements completely. But rather than thinking of such a thing, he immediately followed the footsteps of Chloe and Claire who had preceded him.

Now a beautiful night with a sea of stars strewn over it bears the silent witness of the Dyze and Hydra fight that has lasted for three whole days.
Hydra's head would continue to grow despite being decapitated many times, if people in general would feel annoyed or pressed when facing a formidable opponent like this, that would not be the case with Dyze, he simply laughed at every single Hydra head growing from the neck that had been cut off.
“If it keeps growing, just need to cut again. Nothing is difficult from all of that!”
“Groaaaaar!”
Hydra groaned, all the attacks it had such as poisonous breaths, fireball shots from its mouth, and even energy explosions, all felt futile in the presence of Claire's Barrier protecting them.
As Dyze grew bored, he put up the horses and prepared to draw his sword and muttered:
“Dimension Slash.” – A large red light like a slash is created when Dyze moves as if cutting something.
The light moved swiftly to Hydra's neck and instantly cut off her eight heads and left only one for the experiment according to Dyze's will.
“Graagh.!”
Hydra collapses, and strangely enough Hydra's heads don't grow back like before. There are only 2 conclusions that can explain the head of Hydra can not grow back.
Firstly:
The crushed power received simultaneously by his head was too great to take time to be able to regrow.
Or else
Second:
Hydra ran out of power to grow its head.
And whatever the answer Dyze would not care about, if his opponent had been unable to satisfy him then he would have killed him. When Dyze was about to swing his sword—
[ Waiting. ] – A sound from his Skill temporarily stopped Dyze's movement.
[I'm sorry. Let me give you some advice, wouldn't it be best if this Hydra is your pet? He has great potential to be reliable in terms of strength, moreover he can be a means of transportation to cross the ocean.. ]
‘... Is that it?’
Dyze began to consider the proposal of her Skill, until she was completely mature in thinking about it.
“Huft.” – Dyze lowers her sword making Chloe, Claire and Argus wonder at the sight.
“What's Dyze? It is not usual for you to forgive your enemies.” That sentence came out simultaneously from the mouths of the two women.
“I don't forgive him. I just bowed it..” – Dyze looked up at the sky then started to continue on and simultaneously the black aura that was lining her body started to come loose and fade away.
“.. I just followed Raizel's will to gather and subdue the power in order to fight it maturely.”
“Whatever the reason behind your actions, I will definitely always support you.” – Dyze feels someone hugging her from behind, and from her voice she instantly knows.
“Chloe.”
“Chloe! You cheated!” Claire who looked like she didn't want to lose also hugged Dyze from a different side, whereas her reaction, she only smiled slightly when she saw their behavior.
Usually Argus would be jealous of the lucky Dyze, but now he smiled slightly and managed to get rid of the envy of his own Master.
“So how does he get back to regenerate?”
“You can try it by using a little bit of your blood.”
“My blood? Does it affect?”
“Yes, I tried it on Argus.”
“So.”
In accordance with Chloe's direction, Dyze slashed her finger and gave a drop of blood to Hydra that looked like she was dying.
“Wow~”
Unexpectedly, the Hydra that had been lying dead was now able to bounce back healthy and its severed head began to grow back. The Hydra without being ordered at all he immediately kowtowed towards Dyze.
Dyze stroked Hydra's giant head and spoke to him.
“From now on I will be your Master, as long as you try your best not to disappoint me then I will never throw you away.”
“Khiiirk.”
The Hydra heads bowed to Dyze as a gesture of agreement with Dyze's statement.
“Alright, take us north. Can you do it?”
“Khiirk.”
The Hydra heads began to approach Dyze and seemed to pick her up, as did Chloe, Claire, and Argus. In the end they all sat on each of the Hydra heads and were able to enjoy the view of the vast ocean and was accompanied by a night sky filled with stars.
“Come, heading north!”
“Oh~!”
“Khirkk.!”
That way Dyze, the god of doom, Chloe the Goddess of time, Claire and her Alter-Ego, Celina, are, together with Argus the strongest sorcerer now left Stolas and crossed the vast sea towards the continent of Arbeltha which is located in the north.
