Like angry dragons trying to defy the heavens, the serpents rose from the water to pierce the sky. Their jaws unhinged as a beastly roar shook the world. Arthur realized that they were more than puppets created by the hydra, but living creatures who served it.
Arthur knew that he was not strong enough to fight against the hydra on his own. Furthermore, Arthur knew that he was still relatively weak despite his strength soaring after countless life and death situations.
Arthur was a jack of all trades but a master of none.
"A fight is not going to bring your child back," Arthur tried to convince the hydra. "Give me more time to find it. Then, I will bring it back."
"Your promises are worthless, human," said the hydra as the serpents on her back hissed. "Die for your lies," she waved her hand, commanding one of the water serpents to attack.
