Chapter 1102: Loki VS Jack

“Loki! What the hell are you doing?!” Seeing Loki suddenly take action against Lin Rui and Jack, Thor immediately questioned with an angry expression on his face.

“Nothing much, I am just having a bit of fun with them,” Loki responded casually to Thor’s question.

“I can see that you came to Earth this time to cause trouble for me. If you keep pranking like this…”

“Heh! And what can you do about it? With your current strength, you better not overthink with that little brain of yours,” Loki retorted with a smirk as he noticed Thor’s anger.

Currently, Loki was taking advantage of the fact that Thor hadn’t fully recovered his strength, allowing him to create chaos at will while Thor was helpless.

Of course, nobody really knew what was going on in Loki’s mind. After all, the title of the God of Mischief wasn’t just a fancy label; he was capable of much more than these petty pranks.

“You!… Heimdall!” Despite his anger, Thor appeared somewhat resigned. Facing Loki’s antics, Thor realized that he couldn’t do much at the moment. He decided to look upwards and shout for Heimdall.

Since Thor couldn’t handle Loki at the moment, he wanted Heimdall to take Loki back to Asgard. At the very least, control over the Bifrost was in Heimdall’s hands, and Loki couldn’t activate the Bifrost himself.

However, for some reason, Heimdall didn’t respond to Thor’s call, whether due to Jack’s protective magic shield or the desert environment.

“What’s the point of calling Heimdall? Even if he were to bring down the Bifrost, do you think I’d willingly go? The Bifrost can’t take me away if I don’t want to,” Loki laughed lightly, responding to Thor’s attempt to involve Heimdall.

Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh!

While Loki and Thor continued their verbal duel, several golden magical whips suddenly shot out from Jack’s direction and rush towards Loki. Since Loki had already taken action against them, Jack wouldn’t just stand there passively.

Although Lin Rui had tried his best to intervene, Jack, who was already quite displeased, was beyond restraint.

“Speedy reaction, as expected. This sorcerer’s spirit isn’t bad,” Loki remarked nonchalantly, as he remained unaffected by Jack’s attack.

While Loki seemed unfazed by Jack’s attack, the golden whips had already reached him. In the next instant, the magical whips pierced through Loki, striking the crystalline bottom of the pit with a series of thuds.

The tremendous force shattered a fair amount of the beautiful crystals at the pit’s base. As for Loki, the figure that had been trading barbs with Thor turned out to be just an illusion; his true location remained unknown.

“Jack, be careful, he’s really powerful!” After Jack’s attack proved futile, Lin Rui, who had managed to regain his footing, anxiously warned him from behind.

Since Lin Rui couldn’t persuade Jack to hold back from taking action, he could only hope that Jack wouldn’t fall into Loki’s hands. Moreover, after Loki’s attack on Jack and himself, Lin Rui had discreetly sent a message.

The initially covert sparring session between Lin Rui and Thor had been progressing normally, with Jack providing cover so they could quietly retreat after their training.

Lin Rui’s injuries could be quickly recovered with a sip of Elven Holy Spring Water, and others wouldn’t be able to discern much. However, their battle had produced quite a commotion, exceeding the protective coverage of Jack’s magical shield.

Moreover, the scientific expedition team that had encountered the sandstorm had also become a complication.

Of course, the most unexpected development was Loki’s appearance. As the God of Mischief from Asgard, his capricious nature made it hard to predict his actions. So, not long after Loki appeared, the conflicted Lin Rui decided to inform Tony and the others.

Even if Loki intended mischief, Earth could respond swiftly. Furthermore, compared to the threat posed by Dormammu, the threat Loki posed seemed to be within their controllable range.

“Don’t worry,” Hearing Lin Rui’s reminder, Jack nodded and responded.

Exhale~

Just as Lin Rui and Jack finished speaking, another Loki suddenly appeared before them. This time, Loki had an additional scepter in his hand. The moment he appeared, he pointed it toward Jack’s position.

Pū!

As the tip of the scepter aimed at Jack, a beam of light shot out. Jack was prepared for this, and an invisible magical barrier appeared before him, blocking the energy beam.

PūPūPū!

Following this, Jack consecutively deflected several energy attacks launched by Loki.

Unlike Thor, who primarily relied on his godly powers and physical strength in combat, Loki, although a sorcerer, used a wider range of tactics than just magic.

Compared to Thor’s “tradition,” Loki was more adaptive to modern times, employing various available resources. For instance, while Thor fought with his divine power or brute strength, Loki preferred to use alternative weapons.

He didn’t really care about the means as long as the end goal was achieved. However, it seemed that his energy attacks from the scepter were having little effect on Jack.

So, after Jack managed to deflect over a dozen energy beams, Loki retracted the extended scepter and forcefully plunged it into the ground. With a thud, the long scepter was firmly embedded into the solid crystalline pit.

Buzzing!

As the scepter was inserted, a powerful surge of magical energy quickly flowed into the ground, then transmitted toward Jack and Lin Rui.

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Just as Jack and Lin Rui were focusing on the ground, something suddenly burst through the crystalline ground beneath their feet. Then, green plants sprouted at an astonishing speed, as if they had been given rapid-growth serum, and they were clearly aiming for Jack as they lunged forward.

As for Lin Rui, who had been standing behind Jack, he was originally within the range of these plants, but Jack had teleported him to Thor’s location with a wave of his hand.

“Druidic Magic?!” Jack, who had sent Lin Rui away, looked at the various green plants surging toward him and couldn’t hide his surprise.

While Earth’s Sorcerers possessed a comprehensive magic system, and Jack had already learned many different categories of magic, he had never witnessed Earth’s Sorcerers employing Druidic Magic.

Apparently, compared to casting spells involving multidimensional spaces, such as creating the Mirror Dimension, Druidic Magic was even more profound and intricate.

Exhale!

Although Jack was astonished by Loki’s use of Druidic Magic, he didn’t freeze up. In the next moment, his palm came down in a swift strike.

Even though Jack had never encountered Druidic Magic before, since it was all about using magic in combat, the principles were similar – he just needed to defeat his opponent.

Pū!

In the next instant, the golden magical array on Jack’s hand swiftly slapped onto the green plants surging up from the ground.
