The Magma Midir stands about twice the height of an average human, clad in black armor that envelops its entire body. This armor appears almost substantial, but upon closer inspection, one can see flowing magma and fine black flames.
Its head resembles that of a horned demon among demons, with narrow, emerald eyes glimmering with an inscrutable light, and a hoop hanging from its high-bridged nose. Two flaming horns spiral upwards.
Behind it, like a horned demon, it has a pair of flaming membranous wings and a bat tail of black flame.
Its overall appearance really resembles an Abyss Demon.
However, from its aura, it is not one of those low-level demons that roam the surface chaos, but rather a Demon Noble that pursues elegance and cruelty beyond tedious interests.
Although the Magma Midir did not make any offensive moves, just standing there, it exuded an aura both secretive and magnificent.
Even Earl Mi rarely showed such a solemn demeanor upon seeing the Magma Midir.
Though Earl Mi said nothing, Angel could tell from his tense posture that the strength of the Magma Midir was completely different from the other fire-type creatures before, possibly having reached the True Knowledge Level.
A True Knowledge Level elemental creature is already exceptionally powerful, not to mention that it is also under the amplification of the Elemental Tide.
Because of this, even Earl Mi considered it quite troublesome.
Such a formidable opponent... Angel also found it a bit troublesome.
It was obvious that the one who caused the fire rain to explode earlier must have been the Magma Midir. However, it merely blocked them from escaping and seemed not to take direct action, indicating the possibility of communication?
Angel thought the likelihood was low, but it seemed different from the simple-minded Dangross. Perhaps it was an opportunity to clarify the previous misunderstanding.
Yet, even if the other party accepted the explanation, the previous battles with Gulada and Phoenix had already pushed them to the opposing side, making it difficult to resolve things peacefully.
No matter what, Angel still spoke up: "There was a bit of a misunderstanding earlier, please allow me to introduce myself."
The Magma Midir cast a deep glance at Angel, lowered his eyebrows, and chuckled softly: "A misunderstanding indeed exists, and a self-introduction is needed, but let’s wait a little longer..."
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the Magma Midir suddenly disappeared from its original spot.
Angel and Earl Mi’s vigilance immediately heightened to its peak.
"Earl Mi, to the side!" Angel saw a pair of claws burning with magical fire tearing a rift in the Void, clawing at Earl Mi’s heart.
Before Angel’s warning, Earl Mi had already detected the energy fluctuation and leapt aside in advance.
However, the Magma Midir did not just make a single move; at the instant Earl Mi dodged, another rift tore open, directly facing Earl Mi.
Boom-boom-boom——
After several consecutive jumps and their almost seamless confrontation, the battle escalated to dozens of meters in the air, and it was still ongoing.
Dangross, held tightly by the Hand of Magic, was very pleased with the Magma Midir’s sudden action, but seeing the target being Earl Mi, it immediately roared in dissatisfaction: "Wrong, wrong! Start with this one on my side, this one is the main focus!"
Dangross also deduced from the previous stance that Earl Mi was completely following Angel. Thus, Angel is the core of the espionage, and attacking him should be the priority!
Yet, no matter how Dangross yelled, the Magma Midir had already flown into the air to confront Earl Mi and couldn’t hear Dangross’s roars at all.
"As expected, an idiot! I can’t understand why a wise Old King would pass the flame throne to you, this fool!"
Although Angel’s attention was mostly on the battle above, he spared a glance at Dangross.
He noticed that when Dangross mentioned the Old King, its gaze subconsciously shifted to the side, looking at the distant giant rock.
On that rock, there was the black fire monkey pattern drawn by Feng.
The mini passage to and from the Tidal World was also on the black fire monkey pattern’s earring.
"Huh, the earring..." Angel glanced at the black fire monkey’s earring and then looked up at the Magma Midir’s nose ring.
Though it’s hard to confirm if they are the same, the styles are both black rings with golden patterns.
Linking this to Dangross’s earlier muttering, a suspicion arose in Angel’s heart.
"The Old King you mentioned, is it that black fire monkey over there?" Angel asked, pointing to the stone with the pattern.
Initially, Dangross didn’t want to answer Angel’s question, but Angel’s wording made it quite displeased: "You vile spy dared to say the Old King is a black fire monkey... Hmph! That is the wisest Sage, the Hero who saved countless lives during the elemental upheaval. Besides my ancestor, it is my most revered Old King, the Phoenix Cillia."
After angrily finishing, Dangross looked at Angel suspiciously: "Even Frost Iser showed respect for the Phoenix Old King, how could you not know this?"
"I already said, I’m not a spy," Angel chuckled softly: "Do you see any traits of the Frost clan on me?"
Dangross scrutinized Angel. Unlike Earl Mi, Angel indeed had no traits of Frost Iser.
In fact, after the Elemental Tide, Dangross vaguely felt that Angel emitted a scent it somewhat liked, even yearned for... though it didn’t want to admit this, yet it was true.
If this was Frost Iser, it definitely wouldn’t invoke such a feeling.
Dangross couldn’t help but reflect; could it indeed have been mistaken?
The moment this thought arose, Dangross immediately shook its head internally to dismiss the idea, refusing to believe it could be wrong!
Angel ignored Dangross’s complex psychological changes and continued to inquire: "Where is the Old King Phoenix Cillia you talked about now?"
Since Feng depicted the Phoenix Cillia both on the map and this big rock, it’s highly possible that Feng and Phoenix Cillia had met, maybe even revealed something about Feng’s legacy through the Old King’s words.
Dangross looked at Angel with a complicated expression: "Do you genuinely not know?"
Angel looked quietly at Dangross.
Dangross hesitated for a moment: "A few years before I was born, the Old King sacrificed himself to save the subjects under elemental upheaval, and passed the flame throne to the current New King, Magma Midir."
"So, it is already dead."
Dangross retorted discontentedly: "It’s not dead; its power resides in every fire element being, and its spirit lives within us."
