At the center of the petals was a vertical pupil, golden, identical to Audric's dragon eyes.
The vertical pupils slowly rotated, scanning everything around.
Vera's thorns stabbed toward Audric, blocked by a golden flower.
The tip of the thorns pierced into the petals but could no longer advance at all, as if something held them tightly.
Vera's expression changed, wanting to retract the thorns, but found that they no longer obeyed.
They were being devoured by the golden flower core, turning to ashes inch by inch from the tips.
Adrian's water and fire vortex slammed down, simultaneously blocked by two golden flowers.
Flames and water swirled wildly in front of the petals but could not break through the thin golden barrier.
The water and fire elf by Adrian's shoulder let out a sharp cry, wings vibrated fiercely, releasing a thick red-blue beam.
The beam struck the golden flower, causing it to tremble slightly, a crack appeared on the petal edges, but it did not shatter.
