The Hydra realized what was happening too late. In one moment, it was just about to completely swallow Gogo's Will and take over his body. And in the next, it felt like it saw the gaze of the reaper.
"No!"
Its Will was instantly split in two, sucked away into the very blade that ripped it to shreds.
Sylas' Grim Blade solidified from its previously illusory form just as he landed softly on the ground. His bones didn't so much as rattle.
"No! Stop! Stop! Stop!" the roars of the Hydra were endless, but it was continuously ripped apart, step by step, moment by moment.
It felt every inch of its life being ripped unceremoniously from it. It was like it was back in the belly of the World Serpent, fighting and clawing for every chance to survive.
But it had sacrificed too much of itself to accelerate Gogo's evolution, and then even more when it made a move to swallow Gogo in hopes of taking over the body.
