Winner and Loser - V

"Such a pure girl, it is impossible to harbor any hostility towards her."

Ravenna continued to chat idly, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome of the battle, unlike her usual self, unless...

Unless the outcome was already decided, and indeed, it was.

Now, Ravenna was incredibly solid, with no emptiness or illusion, as if she might dissipate at any moment. 

The ring on her middle finger symbolized the Head of Abyss among Hydra's nine heads. 

As the creature closest to the abyss, Hydra possessed immense power and numerous essences, with a soul strong enough to withstand more abyssal erosion, thus able to command more world laws and essences. 

The role of the Head of Abyss was to coordinate, organize, and integrate all the essences and world laws Hydra understood, allowing it to better control its chaotic and vast power. 

Therefore, it was the most eroded by the abyss, second only to the Head of Soul.
