Chapter 1688: Who ordered takeout?
Lex could survive a lot. His body had literally blown up and had then come back together. So being in the center of a volcanic eruption, for him, would be no problem. That was not the same for Jack.
Now Jack, for a fairy, was strong. Heck, even for a mortal, he was strong. He was far superior to most Nascent realm cultivators, even if he never used his fairy dust, or his most lethal weapon, his puns. But was he strong enough to survive being in the center of a volcanic eruption? It was questionable, since survival didn’t necessarily mean remaining in top condition.
A volcano in hell, though? Well, he would have to find out.
The eruption wasn’t instantaneous. There was a buildup, however brief. Jack was studying the cage Tinker was in when an earthquake struck. By now, there had been a few earthquakes, but none of them were this bad. As if that was not enough, a deep rumbling began all around them.
That was, somehow, enough for Jack to understand that something bad was going to happen.
Jack’s fairy dust was blocked, and he had almost no options. There was only one thing he could think of doing, however insane it was. Wasting no time, he grabbed a loose brick - one that had fallen from a nearby crack - and hugged it as hard as possible, so that his entire body was against the surface of the brick.
He then curled his wings around the bars of Tinker’s cage.
"Talk about a heated situation," Jack said. Tinker, who had also understood by now what was about to happen, could not help but flash her eyes open in abject shock about the fact that Jack could still crack such lame jokes in such a critical situation.
There was no time for anything else though. The eruption happened, and what an eruption it was.
