"I agree. But after it’s over, you have to answer a question for me."

Angel: "What question?"

Dangross hummed twice, "I’ll tell you then."

"Alright." After thinking for a moment, Angel nodded. Given Dangross’s insight, the question raised shouldn’t be too difficult.

Due to the urgency of time, seeing the robot’s suspicion towards the fake "Ferro" growing, Angel didn’t waste words and directly said to Dangross:

"In a moment, I will control that side’s ’Ferro’ to fully elementalize, then create a steam fog. At that time, you will directly transform into the flaming ’Ferro’, using the fog as a cover, to replace the illusion over there." Angel: "Do you understand?"

Dangross earnestly bowed its palm, which meant a nod of agreement.

"The few seconds after replacement are the most critical and dangerous. You need to quickly release flames to counter the incoming water bullets."

"Once its attention is drawn to you, pretend to use Flame Summoning. At that moment, I will have Earl Mi transform into a summoned creature to protect you."

With Earl Mi’s protection at that time, Dangross would be much safer.

Moreover, Earl Mi can also assist Dangross, expanding the flame space, filling the area with fire elements, providing cover for Ferro’s flame spell.

In other words, Dangross is overt, while Earl Mi is covert.

This is the complete plan. When devising this scheme, Angel actually considered letting Earl Mi replace the illusion, but Earl Mi’s Panic Realm energy was too obvious, making it easy to expose. Dangross’s fire is more pure and is better suited to portray "Ferro."

After quickly outlining the key points, Angel immediately began controlling the distant "Ferro" illusion to enter elementalization.

Only by letting "Ferro" enter the elemental state can Dangross portray smoothly. Otherwise, the real person and elemental creature are pretty much distinguishable at a glance.

The distant "Ferro" roared angrily at the robot head: "Damn it, I’m going to melt you, you hunk of iron!"

With those words, the fireball cluster around "Ferro" all merged into his body.

His skin looked as if it had been coated with a light film, with the flickering glow of flames sliding around. In an instant, the fiery current covered his entire body.

The next second, his physical body transformed into an energy state! Transformed into a blazing person of flames! — At least to the naked eye, it looked like that.

At the moment the flaming person was born, a hissing sound started around, with white steam swirling around the flaming person, looking as if high temperatures had vaporized the surrounding dew. But in reality, it was an illusion simulated by Angel through illusion node techniques.

As the white steam rolled more vigorously, Angel turned to Dangross: "Go!"

Dangross did not hesitate, utilizing the momentum to leap directly out, using the white mist for cover, rushing to "Ferro" at the fastest speed.

Then, under the cover of the mist, Dangross controlled its inner flames to transform into Ferro’s image, directly replacing the illusion created by Angel.

At this point, the exchange was complete.

Next, what needs to be done is to create a commotion with real flames to attract the robot’s attention.

Dangross did not falter, releasing the flames that had been stored for years.

Under Dangross’s control, these flames transformed into an expanse of continuous fiery red cloud, directly meeting the scattered water bullets.

Constant hissing sounds were heard, white steam rising, and the hot wind immediately filled the scene.

This wasn’t over yet, as the continuous flame clouds were not entirely extinguished by the dispersed water bullets, and the remaining flames began to rise and transform, forming streaks of crimson streaks, charging towards the robot head.

The robot head obviously hesitated for a moment.

Perhaps because the previous "Ferro" had always been dodging, rarely directly attacking, this sudden aggressive attack caught it off guard.

While it was in a daze, a crimson streak waved at the bubble around it, and the scorching flames shrunk the bubble considerably.

The high temperature of the flame transmitted through the bubble, startling the robot head back to its senses amidst the vibration.

It focused its gaze on the "Ferro" below, gathering a large number of water bullets and attacking Ferro.

This time, the water bullets were no longer scattered!

This means that the robot head refocused its attention on "Ferro"!

This step of the plan was again successful, but Angel was not completely relieved, as the most dangerous moment was now.

Dangross must withstand this wave of water bullets.

At least, withstand the first half.

Facing the dense water bullets, Dangross did not evade. Instead, it raised a hand, pressing its index and middle fingers together beneath its lips, its cheeks ballooning like a ball, and made a sudden puffing gesture.

A large amount of flame spewed from its mouth, spreading into mid-air.

This time, the formed fire cloud was even larger than before, spreading tens of meters wide!

As numerous water bullets fell onto the fire cloud, they were all evaporated, although the fire cloud was also diminishing, the rate of reduction was slow enough to withstand the first wave of water bullets.

As the water bullets collided head-on with the fire cloud, Dangross began its "performance."

It assumed a strange posture, drawing an unusual flaming symbol in mid-air, which emitted a radiant glow upon appearance.

As the glow flickered, a creature emitting firelight slowly emerged from the symbol.

To those unaware, this fiery creature was some kind of flame ability of Ferro’s, a summoned creature.

In reality, it was Earl Mi, who had been waiting underground all along!

Through Dangross’s "performance," this awakened panic realm demon people, concealing its energy, made a gentle appearance...

On the other side, Angel felt a weight lifted off his shoulders when Earl Mi appeared.

Previously, he had been somewhat worried that Dangross wouldn’t withstand that wave of water bullets, since the dense volley was comparable to an official spell, and Dangross hadn’t reached the Official Wizard Level. In such circumstances, Angel had even prepared to have Earl Mi appear early to protect Dangross.

Unexpectedly, Dangross actually managed to hold its own.

This made Angel regard Dangross with newfound respect.

It was just an elemental sprite, but its demonstrated quality was probably among the best in the entire Fire Territory.

Angel inwardly praised it without overthinking, then turned to the real Ferro: "Begin, now that the flame power has spread over here, you can start accumulating fireball clusters without being noticed by that robot head."

Ferro nodded, took a deep breath, and without hesitation, immediately began the accumulation of "Flame Spell Ground."

As clusters of flames emerged around Ferro, an odd faint pulsation began to float gently.
