Chapter 1104: Loki VS Jack 3

Chapter 1104: Loki VS Jack 3

Boom, Boom, Boom!~~

When the dust began to gather, Jack sensed that something was amiss. So, as soon as the enormous red flower appeared, he didn’t hesitate.

He reformed the seals and continued releasing those immensely powerful fireballs from the magic circle suspended above his head.

Huff, Huff, Huff!

The next moment, a fresh batch of fireballs, exuding scorching flames, surged once again from the magic circle. They hurtled toward the giant bud of a flower in front of them.

Although the flower was much larger than the previous plants, it couldn’t withstand the barrage of fireballs.

Humming~

Seeing the fireballs about to strike the flower, the seemingly tranquil interior of the flower suddenly trembled. Subsequently, the tightly closed petals of the bud began to open layer by layer.

Originally, the bud had a diameter of about three to four meters. Now, with its petals fully unfurled, the flower had grown to around six to seven meters in size.

Huff!

The fully open flower seemed to sense the approaching fireballs. Instead of evading, it trembled and raised its stem toward the oncoming fireballs.

At this moment, the gigantic flower resembled a carnivorous beast with a gaping mouth, while the incoming fireballs were its prey. But could it truly devour these fireballs?

Pū Pū Pū!

In the blink of an eye, the fireballs had all landed within the fully opened petals of the giant flower. However, the scene where the fireballs struck the flower and destroyed its stem did not unfold as expected.

The fireballs that landed in the flower seemed to instantly extinguish, not even making a sound. The colossal flower continued to sway as it swallowed the incoming fireballs one after another, seemingly targeting the higher magic circle in mid-air!

“How is this possible!...” Witnessing the fireballs land in the flower’s petals without any effect, Jack stood beneath the magic circle in shock and shouted.

Huff!

In the moment of Jack’s stunned disbelief, the gigantic flower had already consumed over a dozen fireballs and was now engulfing the magic circle hanging in mid-air.

As the flower’s root had reached beneath the pit and its massive petals fully opened, the flower had expanded even larger than the golden magic circle above.

Continuing to astound Jack and Lin Rui on the pit’s edge, the colossal flower engulfed the mid-air magic circle. However, after swallowing the magic circle, the flower seemed to struggle with its digestion.

The petals that had closed shut now bulged, visibly holding some disc-shaped object within. Furthermore, from between the layers of petals, there emitted a series of intense cracking sounds.

“What’s the point of swallowing it?! I don’t believe you can just so easily neutralize my magic!” Seeing the colossal flower consume his magic circle, Jack, who stood on the ground, didn’t stop his hand seals. His gaze sharpened as he uttered a fierce growl.

Humming~

As Jack’s hand seals continued to change, the magical fluctuations within the colossal flower, which had swallowed the magic circle, grew increasingly intense.

The tightly closed massive petals seemed unable to suppress the rebellious magic circle inside any longer and a golden light began to seep through the gaps in the petals.

Huff~

However, as Jack struggled to control the magic circle being consumed by the colossal flower and unleashed its furious energy, Loki, who had disappeared since emerging from the plants, suddenly reappeared not far from Jack.

Seeing the flower in mid-air seemingly struggling to contain the imminent explosion, Loki once again glanced at it before thrusting his staff into the ground.

Pū!

With a gentle sound, Loki’s staff penetrated the pit’s floor. Then, energy swiftly coursed underground, quickly absorbed by the massive flower plant rooted not far away.

Having absorbed this unique magical energy, the giant flower plant seemed to have been injected with hormones. Its once slender stem instantly swelled to more than double its size, and the flower bud atop, which was on the brink of bursting, reacted as if stimulated.

The previously semi-transparent petals, radiating a golden light, abruptly solidified into a vivid Big Red hue and quickly closed inwards, squeezing together.

Squeak, Squeak!

Pū Pū Pū!

After a series of crisp squeezing sounds, a cracking noise emanated from within the colossal flower. Following this sound, the flower, which had been inflated, gradually reverted to its normal shape, resembling a bud once again.

It even made a swallowing-like motion. As the flower closed and “swallowed,” a golden light swiftly traveled downward along its sturdy stem and soon disappeared below the surface.

As the colossal flower fully closed, engulfing the magic circle, Jack, who had been maintaining the seals, turned slightly pale, and his trembling hands dropped. Evidently, Jack had lost control over the shattered magic circle.

Originally, Jack had intended to trigger its self-destruct before the magic circle broke apart. However, at the critical moment, he had lost control of the magic circle, and he could only watch helplessly as the colossal flower devoured his magic circle.

Huff~

After devouring Jack’s magic circle, the closed petals of the gigantic flower bud opened slightly once more, as if it had just burped. Then, the terrifying flower’s stem bent down, and the flower bud on top extended toward Jack’s position.

Although this flower, apart from its size, seemed rather beautiful, no one would find it attractive now. After all, it had just swallowed over a dozen fireballs and a magic circle!

Faced with the looming gigantic flower, Jack, who had just expended a tremendous amount of energy, chose not to retreat. He gritted his teeth, pushed aside the discomfort from his magic being disrupted earlier, and continued forming seals to release a spell.

Unlike the attack magic he had previously unleashed, this spell was cast at a much quicker pace. This was a spell he had prepared in advance.

Humming~

As Jack’s hand seals shifted, the colossal protective magic barrier that had enveloped an area of around two hundred meters in diameter began to emanate its original pale golden glow and rapidly shrink.

Before the colossal flower could reach Jack, the protective barrier that had covered the entire battlefield had instantly contracted, now only large enough to encompass Jack.

With this, the area where several extraordinary battles had unfolded was now fully exposed to the outside world’s gaze.

As Jack cast the spell, reducing the colossal protective barrier’s size to only cover himself, the massive flower in front of him happened to open its petals, lunging forward to devour him.

Swish!
