The hydra roared forcefully, aiming at Ariel as it prepared to fire its light ray.
But then someone intervened, a silhouette almost imperceptible to the naked eye that with one slash cut through the hydra's resistant scales and dense muscles.
A katana made of black ice was the tool used for such a feat.
A feat worthy of recounting, for the hydra's scales were undoubtedly extremely resistant.
However, that wasn't the most impressive thing that newcomer did.
In an instant, the hydra had been wrapped in ice, enclosed in an "ice prison."
A creature of immense size had been frozen in a mere instant, which made the "newcomer" someone more fearsome.
"HAHAHAHA! Looks like there's a fun fight here. Can I join in?" the newcomer said with a childlike voice.
It was a boy with long light blue hair. His build, while slender, wasn't weak, but rather highlighted his muscles forged in arduous training.
He wore a white kimono that together with his katana gave him a very oriental air.
