The height of Magic Fire Midir was roughly the sum of two normal humans, its entire body enveloped in a black armor that seemed tangible, yet upon closer inspection, one would notice flowing magma and subtle black flames.
Its skull resembled that of a demon, specifically a ram-horned demon, with narrow, emerald green eyes that twinkled with an indiscernible gleam, and a ring hanging from its pronounced nose, with two flaming ram horns spiraling upwards.
Behind it, as with a ram-horned demon, were a pair of fiery membranous wings and a tail of black flames.
Overall, its appearance was truly more similar to a demon from the Abyss.
However, from its aura, it was not one of those lowly demons mingling in superficial chaos, but rather a demon noble, devoid of petty interests, pursuing elegance and cruelty.
Even without making any aggressive moves, merely standing there, it carried a secretive and majestic aura.
Even Eremy, upon seeing Magic Fire Midir, displayed a rare seriousness.
Although Eremy said nothing, Angel could tell from his tense demeanor that Magic Fire Midir’s strength was entirely different from other fire creatures they had encountered before, possibly reaching the level of true knowledge.
An elemental creature of true knowledge level was already immensely powerful, not to mention being amplified by the elemental tide.
For this reason, even Eremy felt challenged by such a formidable opponent.
This powerful adversary… Angel too found it somewhat troublesome.
Without a doubt, the one who caused the fire rain to explode was definitely Magic Fire Midir. However, it seemed only to obstruct their escape without directly engaging, suggesting a possibility for dialogue?
Although Angel felt this possibility was slim, it looked different from the naive Dangros. Perhaps this was an opportunity to clarify the previous misunderstanding.
Even if the explanation was accepted, the battles with Glarada and Phoenix had already placed them on opposite sides, making peaceful resolution difficult.
Regardless, Angel still initiated conversation: “There was a slight misunderstanding earlier, please allow me to introduce myself.”
Magic Fire Midir gave Angel a deep look, eyebrows lowered, and chuckled lightly: “Misunderstandings do exist, and introductions are necessary, but let’s wait a bit longer…”
The moment those words were spoken, Magic Fire Midir’s figure vanished from its original spot.
Angel and Eremy immediately heightened their vigilance to the utmost.
“Eremy, to the side!” Angel spotted a pair of claws burning with magic fire tearing open a rift from the void, aiming for Eremy’s heart.
Before Angel’s warning, Eremy had already sensed the energy fluctuation and leapt away in advance.
However, Magic Fire Midir didn’t stop at one attack. As Eremy dodged, another rift opened directly in front of him.
Boom, boom, boom——
After several consecutive leaps and nearly seamless combat, the battle escalated to tens of meters in the air and was still ongoing.
Dangros, tightly gripped by a Magic Hand, was very pleased with Magic Fire Midir’s sudden intervention but became immediately discontent when he realized that Eremy was the target of the attack, roaring in protest: “Wrong, wrong! Go after this one on my side first, this one is the key!”
From the previous posture, Dangros could also see that Eremy was completely following Angel’s lead. Therefore, Angel was the core of the spies; attacking him first was the correct strategy!
Despite Dangros’ loud protestations, Magic Fire Midir had already flown high into the sky to confront Eremy and couldn’t hear Dangros’ roars.
“Such a fool! I can’t understand why a wise ruler as smart as the Old King would pass the flame throne to a fool like you!”
Angel, although mostly focused on the battle above, spared a glance at Dangros.
He noticed that when Dangros mentioned the old king, his gaze involuntarily shifted to a large stone nearby, on which was engraved a black fire monkey pattern.
The mini entrance to the Tidal Realm was also on the earring of the black fire monkey pattern.
“Huh, an earring…” Angel glanced at the earring of the black fire monkey, then at the nose ring of Magic Fire Midir above.
Although it couldn’t be confirmed that they were the same, both items were rings with black and golden patterns.
Recalling Dangros’ previous mutterings, Angel had a speculation.
“The old king you mentioned, is that the black fire monkey over there?” Angel pointed at the stone with the pattern and asked Dangros.
Dangros initially didn’t want to answer Angel’s question, but was annoyed by his suggestion: “You despicable spy, dare to call the old king a black fire monkey… Hmph! He was the smartest sage, a hero who saved countless lives during the elemental upheaval, my most admired old king after my ancestors, Flame Ruler Herodia.”
After expressing his anger, Dangros looked suspiciously at Angel: “Even Frost Iseth showed respect to the old fire king. How do you not know this?”
“I’ve said before, I’m not a spy,” Angel chuckled. “Do you see any characteristics of Frost Iseth on me?”
Dangros scrutinized Angel carefully. Unlike Eremy, Angel indeed showed no traits of Frost Iseth.
In fact, after the elemental tide, Dangros faintly felt that Angel emitted an aura he somewhat liked and even longed for… Although he didn’t want to admit it, it was true.
If they were from Frost Iseth, it definitely wouldn’t evoke such feelings in him.
Dangros pondered whether he had been wrong in his assumptions.
As this thought emerged, Dangros immediately shook his head internally, refusing to believe he could be mistaken.
Angel ignored Dangros’ complex mental changes and continued: “Where is the old king, Flame Ruler Herodia, now?”
Since Herodia’s patterns were drawn both on the map and this stone, it was very likely that Herodia had met Feng, and perhaps information left by Feng could be obtained from this old king.
Dangros looked complicatedly at Angel: “Do you really not know?”
Angel quietly observed Dangros.
Hesitating a bit, Dangros said: “The old king passed away a few years before I was born, sacrificing himself to save his people from the elemental upheaval and passing the flame throne to the current new king, Magic Fire Midir.”
“So, he’s dead.”
Dangros retorted unhappily: “He’s not dead, his power lives in every fire creature, his spirit in our hearts.”
“And his consciousness?”
Dangros: “…vanished.”
Angel sighed deeply, acknowledging yet another dead end in his quest.
However, the fire elementals of the same era as Flame Ruler Herodia might have seen Feng, right? Even if they haven’t, it’s possible that Flame Ruler Herodia might have mentioned him to them?
It would be good if we could ask them.
Unfortunately, due to Dangros’ spy paranoia, it’s unlikely that a peaceful inquiry with the creatures of the Fire Domain will be possible, as they stand in opposition.
As for asking Dangros, Flame Ruler Herodia had already died before it was born.
But, it’s still possible.
We can’t think about this in ordinary terms; maybe Dangros really does know something. Angel is afraid of overlooking something obvious, so he decides to ask: “Dangros, have you heard of Feng?”
“Who?”
“Mirafael Von Feng.”
“Who?”
“The painting on that stone over there, do you know who painted it?”
“Who?”
Angel, looking into Dangros’s bewildered eyes, silently closes his mouth.
Seeing that Angel isn’t speaking, Dangros doesn’t ask either. Its mind is complicated at the moment, as this humanoid creature seems to genuinely know nothing about Flame Ruler Herodia… Could what he previously transmitted be true?
Angel doesn’t probe Dangros for information any further. What he needs to know, he roughly understands, and the rest of the information probably won’t be of use to him.
What he’s more concerned about now is the battle above his head, and… how this battle will end?
“Hopefully, this rain of fire will stop soon,” Angel mutters to himself.
…
The battle in the sky continues, but the fight between Eremy and Magic Fire Midir is in a very delicate state.
Eremy, having almost exhausted his energy in the previous battles, is now fighting basically with just his physical strength.
Seeing Eremy not using energy, Magic Fire Midir also gives up manipulating flames and opts for a head-on clash.
This has a benefit, as it doesn’t cause a chain of explosions in the elemental tide.
However, even though Magic Fire Midir isn’t actively manipulating fire, its body is made of flames. In each collision, Eremy gradually gets overwhelmed.
Several parts of Eremy’s fur are scorched from Magic Fire Midir’s fists, covered in charred spots.
The bluish crystal blood Eremy spits out more than once indicates his injuries are accumulating.
Although Magic Fire Midir is also attacked by Eremy, in the elemental tide, even if its body is destroyed, it can quickly be restored with external energy, so it looks virtually unchanged from the beginning.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable and no sign of the elemental tide ceasing, Angel starts discussing through the Seed of Distortion with Eremy about specific countermeasures.
Even if they decide to retreat, they must first stop Magic Fire Midir. After all, it has the ability to control the fire rain explosions from a distance.
After a secret discussion, Angel and Eremy reach a consensus.
The best method is to keep it too busy to pursue them. Combined with Angel’s illusion concealment, they should be able to hold it off for a while, providing them an opportunity to retreat.
After confirming the plan, when Eremy was once again kicked by Magic Fire Midir into the high air, tens of meters away, he stalled.
An intangible aura emanated from Eremy.
Originally intending to pursue, Midir felt Eremy’s change and, intrigued, ceased his motion to observe quietly: “Are you finally getting serious? However, your energy is nearly depleted, what can you still do?”
Eremy, as usual, did not respond. Yet, the blue lantern flower atop his head swayed, releasing azure bubbles that suddenly changed color… to crimson!
As the bubbles changed color, Eremy’s true form began to be pulled apart, transforming into an energy state.
Previously, during the cliff battle, Eremy was in this energy state. Now, transforming again, he evidently prepared to forsake physical confrontation, opting instead for a decisive showdown in the energy realm.
Witnessing this, Midir’s slender eyes glinted with a trace of laughter, and the black armor on its body burst into raging flames, also entering an energized state!
Midir’s combat spirit surged, but as Eremy fully transformed into energy, its expression abruptly froze.
So did Dangros on the ground.
They had always thought Eremy would transform into a snowy white shadow, but now before them was not an icy, frost-laden shade, but a terrifyingly blazing flame shadow!
The moment the flame shadow appeared, its momentum soared, its power level matching Midir’s under the boost of elemental tides!
A true knowledge level fire elemental creature!
This was naturally the result of Eremy’s consultation with Angel. Although fire was less effective against Midir than ice, Eremy’s internal energy was nearly depleted. His only option was to become a fire elemental creature. Thanks to the elemental tide, he didn’t need to worry about exhaustion.
The plan was to use fire abilities to mask Midir’s perception while Angel created an illusion, delaying Midir for a while so they could retreat.
“What’s going on? He, he… wasn’t he a spy for Frost Iseth? Why do I only feel pure flames? Impossible…”
Dangros found the scene incredibly absurd. He was certain Eremy was a spy for Frost Iseth due to the terrifying frost power. But now, Eremy had suddenly transformed into a kin——a fire elemental creature!
How could this be?
Dangros felt as if his worldview had collapsed.
His previous conviction of Eremy being a spy was once again mercilessly shattered.
Although Midir also paused, it quickly recovered. It didn’t show too much surprise about Eremy’s transformation into a fire elemental creature. Glancing at Angel, it transformed into a flame form and directly engaged Eremy in a fiery duel.
The current battle was evidently more terrifying than the previous physical confrontation.
In almost the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with explosions, echoing throughout the area, turning the sky a burning red.
Terrifying energy cascaded from the sky, stirring up dust from the scorched earth.
Moreover, as the battle continued, this scenario kept spreading. The only unaffected area was the stone bearing old king Herodia’s pattern.
Angel specifically instructed Eremy to avoid it, as it was their escape route from the Tidal Realm.
As for why Midir also deliberately avoided it, perhaps it was out of respect for the revered old king.
