Jaeden focused intently on the remaining hydra heads, adrenaline coursing through him as he prepared for the final confrontation. With one head already dispatched and the frogman providing cover with the Titanoboa Short Sword, Jaeden took advantage of the momentary chaos. The hydra's remaining heads, furious and desperate, lunged at him, but his heightened reflexes, granted by the Green Lady’s boon, kept him one step ahead.

As the serpent thrashed wildly, Jaeden darted in close, anticipating the movements of the last head. With a burst of energy, he executed a series of swift maneuvers, dodging its snapping jaws and landing a decisive blow at its base. The blade sliced through the creature’s flesh with brutal efficiency, and the hydra let out a final, pained wail before collapsing into the murky water.
