It didn't take long for Ryan to find the first Hydra. As he already knew, those creatures were pretty vicious. While the monsters watched them from the ocean, Ryan approached Fernanda and then tried to touch her shoulder, but she slightly flinched. Even in her draconic form, she was shy of strangers, that kind of hurt Ryan a little.
"Sorry…" Fernanda forced a smile.
In the end, Ryan decided to ignore her to prevent any more waste of time. When he touched her shoulder, he immediately teleported to behind the Hydra, and she grabbed the creature with her arms and legs. It was kind of weird to see a dragon doing that. Still, it had been highly effective when Fernanda covered her whole body in electricity and began to shock the Hydra. Some damage was being caused, but not nearly enough to kill the monster in less than a single minute.
Ryan approached Gustavo and Carlos, who were the strongest physically, and then teleported both to in front of the paralyzed Hydra. Without a hint of hesitation, they began to kick and punch the monster, and even though they were dozens of meters underwater, their movements caused massive splashes on the surface of the ocean. While Fernanda's electricity damaged them a little, it wasn't nearly enough to slow them down. She was so good at her magic that she could focus her spell on the neck of the Hydra.
Despite the fact that the Hydra couldn't resist, Gustavo and Carlos had to attack for fifteen seconds before they managed to surpass the monster's scales and then kill the beast. Even though their Draconic Transformations had leveled up much more than Ryan's, the Hydras were that much of a difficult foe.
Before any more blood could be spilled and warn the other monsters, Ryan teleported those three and the body back to the beach. Ryan didn't use as much mana as he thought he would, but as expected, just doing a support job was boring and not very rewarding.
The survivors on the beach opened their mouths in admiration when they finally saw a Hydra up close. Not only were they almost as big as a dragon, but they also looked equally fearsome. Ryan felt something similar when he used Appraisal on the creature and saw that the monsters had gained thirty levels in the last few days.
"That took longer than expected," Gustavo said.
"You guys can create magic weapons, right?" Ryan asked. "You should make some of the people on the beach work to dismantle the Hydra's body. I bet using their bodies as materials to forge new weapons will save us some time."
"I will do that," Gustavo said. "Anyway, did you guys notice anything strange? It is hard to focus on our surroundings while fighting that intensely."
"You took too long, and a lot of blood was spilled," Paulo said. "That way, sooner than we want it, dozens of Hydras will come to attack us."
"We have to prevent that, naturally," Bianca said.
"I guess it is time to test the power of our weapons, then," Gustavo said. "We will cause more damage and faster with them."
