Chapter 406 Ogre Flower
“So, chasing Maguire-Storm was just a feint—”
Jia Na, who had transformed into a Fire Vine, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as she watched Louis Tor-Turan relentlessly punch the participants who had transformed into bird-like magical beasts on the shore.
Immediately, she put aside everything else. Taking advantage of Louis Tor-Turan’s attention being drawn to the participants who had reached the shore first and transformed into bird-like magical beasts, Jia Na also advanced rapidly with all her might in her vine form.
“Caw——”
Just as Jia Na was about to pass through the wall of fire on the shore of the lava lake, a screech suddenly sounded from above her.
Soon, Jia Na sensed that the sound was getting closer and closer to her. In a short while, Jia Na saw a completely black crow fly in front of her.
“A raven?”
Seeing the extremely familiar transformed shape in front of her, Jia Na’s first reaction was to prepare to swing her vine whip and attack this strange raven.
However, just as Jia Na was about to make her move, the raven, like ink dropping into a pond, smoothly entered Jia Na’s shadow and disappeared.
“Hmm? It has this move too?”
Looking at the raven that had drilled into her shadow, Jia Na, the person involved, couldn’t help but inwardly applaud the other party’s maneuver.
But very quickly, Jia Na, knowing that time was running out, didn’t bother to deal with the “trouble” in her shadow. Instead, she quickly twisted her vine body, like a giant crimson python, forcibly breaking through the wall of fire and crawling towards the shore.
“Thank you for your shadow.”
The moment Jia Na landed on shore, the raven hiding in her shadow flapped its wings and flew out of the shadow. Then, its figure landed on the ground, and in the dense darkness, the raven also transformed into a human form.
“So it was her——”
Looking at Hai La - Herheim, who stood tall with black shoulder-length hair, dark purple pupils, an extremely pure face, but a cold and profound aura like a deep pool, Jia Na quickly reverted from her Fire Vine form, restoring her human body.
“You’re welcome.”
In fact, the moment Jia Na landed on shore, she was prepared for the other party to immediately launch a sneak attack.
After all, Jia Na knew that one of Hai La - Herheim’s most skilled transformation forms was the Shadow Magic Wolf, which possessed considerable combat power.
If Hai La - Herheim were to launch a sneak attack on Jia Na in her Shadow Magic Wolf form, then Jia Na would only be able to risk exhausting her magic power to engage in a head-on clash with the other party in her Grimace Treant form.
But fortunately, Hai La - Herheim seemed to have no intention of attacking, which also made Jia Na, who didn't want to waste too much magic power at this critical juncture, breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, in the previous stages of the Transformation Trial, Hai La - Herheim had always belonged to the “cautious development” faction. Not only did she not consume much magic power, but her overall condition was also quite good.
If a conflict were to arise with the other party at this moment, it would inevitably be a prolonged battle that would consume a great deal of magic power. For Jia Na at that time, the risks and rewards were extremely unequal.
“Bang—”
Another loud noise resounded, accompanied by flying dust. Maguire-Storm, covered in burns, finally knelt and fell onto an open space not far from Jia Na after breaking through the wall of fire.
“Cough cough... Damn Luis Tor, I will never let you off! The massive consumption of magic power, coupled with the dense burns all over his body, undoubtedly brought Maguire-Storm’s physical condition to a very poor level.
However, even so, because the reputation of Maguire-Storm’s Hurricane’s Fury was so deeply ingrained, even when seeing him in such a sorry state, the others still did not immediately show any intention of attacking him.
“Crack!”
Just as Maguire-Storm was about to force himself to stand up, a vibrant flower nearly three meters tall suddenly appeared behind him without any warning.
Then, the petals bloomed, and before Maguire-Storm could even react, the huge flower bud directly swallowed Maguire-Storm’s entire body—
“Maguire-Storm was eliminated!”
Inside the Glory Arena, watching Maguire-Storm’s unexpected elimination displayed on the large screen, all the spectators present were in an uproar.
“I bet on him to win!!”
In the stands, after repeatedly confirming that Maguire-Storm was indeed eliminated, several spectators who had spent a fortune betting on Maguire-Storm to win in the casino couldn't help but curse.
“Who on earth eliminated him!?”
Although Maguire-Storm had been suppressed by Louis Tor-Turan, who had transformed into a Phoenix, in the lava environment of the third stage, he still managed to narrowly escape thanks to his excellent dodging speed.
Just when everyone thought Louis Tor-Turan was bound to take down Maguire-Storm, the other party suddenly changed his mind and turned around to counterattack other participants.
It was at this time that Maguire-Storm seized the opportunity to break through the fire barrier and successfully escape the lava lake. In fact, up until this point, those who had bet on Maguire-Storm to win still firmly believed that the final victor would definitely be Maguire-Storm.
Especially the spectators in the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place, who had long heard of Maguire-Storm’s various deeds, had even more confidence in his strength.
But looking at the Magic-Sealed Ring spit out by the giant flower bud, and the conclusive result of Maguire-Storm’s elimination announced by host John Jones, everyone’s eyes in the entire arena were practically glued to the big screen, eagerly wanting to confirm who exactly eliminated Maguire-Storm.
“It’s the Ogre Flower! The one who eliminated Maguire-Storm is actually Jia Na!?”
After immediately recognizing that the participant who had transformed into an Ogre Flower was actually Jia Na, Gavin-Tuer’s eyes, apart from a few traces of disbelief, were filled with even more excitement.
“Could it be that I really hit the jackpot this time—”
Looking at Jia Na, who had reverted from her Ogre Flower form to human form on the screen, Gavin-Tuer couldn't help but tighten his grip on the casino betting slip with Jia Na-Roland’s name written on it.
“Maguire was actually eliminated!”
Inside the Bonsai Secret Realm, the other participants who heard Maguire-Storm’s scream before his elimination all turned their gaze towards the “culprit,” which was a Plant-based magical beast with vibrant colors but was extremely dangerous—the Ogre Flower.
“Hmph!”
After Maguire-Storm was forcibly teleported out of the Bonsai Secret Realm, the Ogre Flower made a spitting motion, directly spitting a Magic-Sealed Ring, covered in slime, onto the ground.
