When Kraft spoke that word out, the longsword that held the two of those demigorgon suddenly started to change shape. It was not a slow and gradual change as Jin would expect but instead, the sword bloomed like a flower.
The only difference was that with each layer that opened, the next layer was bigger badder, and even more vibrant in colour that one could say it was beautifully deadly. Each layer was like a flower petal filled with fangs mixed with saliva waiting for the prey to be grabbed in and swallowed.
The Mecha Gigan Dragon saw this and tried to move backward and shot out the largest and longest spike it could from its mouth. All for the hope that its projectile would penetrate through this blooming demon flower and stop it in its tracks before it could grow any bigger.

It should have been relentless in its attack, stopping Kraft from being stationary not even for a moment so that he does not have the concentration to keep and maintain all that demonic energy within the demigorgon sword.
Now what it can only do is to spit on its poor fate that its demise would be destined by the demonic flower of eternal embrace as death was the only thing that would be left once the Demigorgon had finished blooming.
The aforementioned long spike had been grabbed by one of the petals, making Jin surprised that it was sentient to perform such a feat. With a slight roll of the petal muscles, the fangs corroded the spike and turned it into liquid as if it was just an appetizer before the main course. The Mecha Gigan Dragon had decided that it needed more time to charge its power to do a big attack against this ever growing demon flower that was chasing after it.
Thus, it flew upwards only to be laughed at by Kraft. "No, no, no. There is no way out of this place, you stupid fellow." Kraft said as he saw how the Mecha Gigan Dragon got hit by the metaphysical barrier that indicated the boundaries of the dungeon instance creation. That realisation when it hits the Mecha Gigan Dragon was already too late as the demigorgon not only had bloomed fully, tentacle like tongues had already emerged to reach out for the Gigan Dragon.
Knowing now that it had been trapped, it unleashed all the spikes it had on its body and forced a full regeneration of spikes before rushing to the side of it. The Mecha Gigan Dragon believed that it should still get injured and might recoil. After all, if the flower is somewhat alive, it means there were muscles and muscles meant that there are nerve endings. There was no way the living flower did not feel pain.
The problem was that it did, but the excessive demonic energy that Kraft had fed had already made sure that it was strong enough to not just ignore the pain but yielded to expend all that demonic energy onto something. The demigorgon felt as if it needed to repay back all those energies with a job well done. And that was obviously the capture of the Mecha Gigan Dragon and melting it within its mouth.
Soon, the Dragon took its chances as it forcefully regenerated its spike and flew to the side of the petal, hoping to move to the other side of the grassy plains in order to have some space and time to think for its counterattack. Unfortunately, the living petal even when hit, did not fall out of the flower. Instead, it stretched and grabbed onto the Gigan Dragon's tail.
When that happened, it was more or less game over for the Mecha Dragon. The tongue like tentacles began to swoop in from the sides and wrap around its limbs and wings. The Gigan Dragon once more released its spikes and used its fangs to desperately tear the tentacles away. Those spikes that flew outgrew into Dragonlings in the shortest time possible in order to aid the main body in getting out of the sticky situation it was in.

Those were nothing when it came to the numerous fangs that grew within the muscles of the demigorgon bloomed flower as it started to close the petals and crush the Gigan Dragon within it.
In the last desperate attempt to get out, the Gigan Dragon transformed his hands into one huge edged spike and used all of its power to stab it. This was in hopes that it could pierce through to the outer layer and eventually cut open the muscular petal filled with fangs so that it could get out of it. The Gigan Dragon even attempted to bite the first layer before stabbing it.
Sure enough, its strength was more than sufficient for a concentrated piercing through the thick multilayer muscles within the petal. But that was what it could do. Now that it had stretched and penetrated an edged spike, it had exposed itself even more of those tongue tentacles which pulled it further down to the most bottom of layers of the demigorgon flower.
Without a doubt, there was nothing the Gigan Dragon could do as once the demigorgon sword had finished its job, it slowly returned to the very same longsword that Kraft had been wielding. It was as if nothing had happened even though something did happen.
The demigorgon was extremely pleased with the feeding of demonic energy.
All that was left were the Gigan Dragonlings which Kraft knew that Jin would be able to clear in no time. And when he checked how much longer before the dungeon instance would be shut down, there was actually still plenty amount of time left.
"Wow, you still have two minutes and thirty seconds on the clock! Looks like you can casually finish this off!" Kraft said as he tapped Jin's shoulder and even gave him a shoulder hug before leaving. "For your information, your body is on the way back. Milk and Peppers had indeed been able to smuggle it out from the Celestial plane." That was when he paused for a while before he said one last sentence before living.
"But whether their actions would disturb the Celestial plane… That would be for another day to worry about."
