According to Rhein, its strength has almost reached the peak of Level 1 True Knowledge, and if it performs without regard for life, it might barely wield the power of a Second Level True Knowledge.
Back when the Tainted Wing Trading Group tried to capture Earl Mi, they lost two Official Wizards, and only under the suppression of the deputy leader of Tainted Wing did they finally capture Earl Mi.
Awakened Demon People are very powerful, but their fiendish nature equals their strength. To control it, one must not suppress its fiendish nature, but all control methods must fully suppress it. Because there is no perfect control method, the Tainted Wing Trading Group has always been unable to handle it.
The Tainted Wing Trading Group has been holding it, waiting for a Carabit interested in Otherworldly beings to buy Earl Mi. But unfortunately, those interested can’t afford it; those who can afford it aren’t interested.
Until recently, when Rhein made an offer, Earl Mi finally found a way out.
After obtaining Earl Mi, Angel immediately fused it with the Seed of Distortion. The Seed of Distortion, nurtured by the Boiling Gentleman, truly controlled Earl Mi, without suppressing its fiendish nature.
After a period of slumber, Earl Mi finally awakened.
Just as Angel was returning to the Old Earth Continent, surrounded by the vast sea and no one around, he released Earl Mi, planning to take this opportunity to experiment with its abilities.
Toby volunteered to battle it.
The facts proved Rhein’s judgment correct, awakened Demon People did indeed make the perfect parasitic host, with astonishing strength.
If not for Angel making Earl Mi control its power, Toby might have been defeated early on.
"Chirp chirp..." Toby’s calls gradually lowered after hearing Angel’s introduction of Earl Mi. Although it still said it would perform better as a Snake Bird, it was no longer blindly confident that the Snake Bird form could defeat Earl Mi.
After all, Earl Mi was specially prepared by Rhein to protect Angel.
Angel turned his gaze back to the Blue Lantern Flower, recalling Earl Mi’s abilities.
According to the Tainted Wing Trading Group, Earl Mi’s most crucial ability lies in this Blue Lantern Flower that spits bubbles, which possesses the effect of forcibly altering the battle environment.
Just like before when Toby battled Earl Mi, since it transformed into a Berserker Gryphon, a fire attribute Magical Creature, Earl Mi created a stormy weather to perfectly counteract the Gryphon’s fire. In fact, as long as Earl Mi wishes, the Blue Lantern Flower can turn greenery into deserts, make magma surge from the earth, turn day into night, allowing Earl Mi to naturally hold the initiative in battle.
Moreover, Earl Mi’s ability to alter the environment is a near-rule-level ability, capable of suppressing space disturbances, calming chaotic spaces in a short time, or even restoring blocked space to a moment of connectivity.
At that time, even if a powerful Transcendent truly attacked Angel and sealed the space, Angel could use Earl Mi’s abilities to stabilize the space and escape through doors.
This is also the reason Rhein said Earl Mi is very suitable for Angel.
Aside from that, according to the Tainted Wing Trading Group, the Blue Lantern Flower also has unparalleled uses needing deep exploration. However, Angel believed this might be a marketing strategy by the Tainted Wing Trading Group. But merely altering the battle environment is already very formidable.
Besides the Blue Lantern Flower, Earl Mi’s physical defense is very strong, its power reaching the level of Bloodline True Knowledge Wizard; it can also transform into a shadow form, which is immune to most physical attacks; its reaction speed is incredibly fast, as already evidenced during the battle with Toby.
The combination of these abilities makes up the current Earl Mi.
From observing Earl Mi, Angel also glimpsed the fearsome nature of awakened Demon People and the terror of the Panic Realm.
Indeed, it is a Transcendent World comparable to the Wizards’ Realm.
Angel is very satisfied with Earl Mi, but at present, Earl Mi also has a weakness, which is the Seed of Distortion in its chest. Once this Seed of Distortion is destroyed, Earl Mi will immediately suffer backlash and perish.
Although Angel has instructed Earl Mi to protect the Seed of Distortion, to be cautious, Angel thought he should add another layer of insurance.
It would be best to refine a special tool to obscure and defend against targeted damage to the Seed of Distortion.
After some thought, Angel asked Toby to seek islands to correct the course, while he pondered and started designing on paper.
While Angel was busily writing at the desk, the Gondola leisurely flew above, with Toby occasionally diving into the sea to fish. Clouds reflected in the sea, the Flying Boat casting its shadow on the waves, everything so leisurely.
From dawn to dusk, then from midnight to the reappearance of the Morning Star.
Only then did Angel lift his head from bending over. The design on his paper was now a draft. He asked Earl Mi to relax from its defensive posture and compared it with its true form, then instructed Earl Mi to stay on guard.
As Angel prepared to continue designing, Toby flew to his shoulder, chirping to signal Angel to look below.
Angel clung to the ship’s railing and looked down to see many dolphins chasing a young Island Whale below on the sea, and the Island Whale gracefully following the shadow on the sea.
This shadow was the black silhouette of the Gondola cast on the sea.
On either side of the Island Whale, there were four cargo ships heading into the distance, sounding their long horns.
Angel could clearly see that many people on these cargo ships were pointing at the Gondola in the sky, with expressions of surprise.
"These are the cargo ships of the Island Whale Chamber of Commerce." Angel determined the truth of these ships by looking at the flags onboard and the Island Whale tearing the waves.
He recognized the Island Whale Chamber of Commerce because this chamber is actually a part of the White Shell Maritime Company.
And standing behind the White Shell Maritime Company is... the Sky Mechanical City.
As Angel pondered, two figures on broomstick-like vehicles rose from the cargo ship.
Angel glanced at them, two Third Level Apprentices, without any evident organizational insignia, likely employees under the White Shell Maritime Company.
Their target was clearly the Gondola, but before they approached, black mist churned, and Earl Mi’s scarlet eyes peered straight at them from the mist.
An extremely dangerous feeling froze them instantly, not daring to move any further.
Angel could sense that these two probably meant no harm and were only trying to inquire about his situation.
However, even so, Angel couldn’t be bothered to engage. He instructed Toby to continue steering, and the Gondola flew away right before their eyes.
It was only several miles away that the two apprentices snapped out of the dangerous premonition. They exchanged a look without saying a word, landing back on the cargo ship without daring to pursue further.
Meanwhile, Angel sat on the Flying Boat, murmuring, "Island Whale Chamber of Commerce regularly travels between the Revelation Continent and the Old Earth Continent. Encountering them here suggests the Old Earth Continent shouldn’t be far now..."
