While Dangros was still trying to figure out what was going on, Toby opened his beak and unleashed a Flame Breath, which burned Dangros from head to toe.
Dangros was slapped away by Toby, and now he was covered in flames. He couldn't understand why the ancestor he worshipped would do this to him.
Toby humphed and answered his question with action.
Toby slowly turned back into a small seabird and landed on Angor's shoulder. Toby lifted his head and circled around Angor's shoulder to show Dangros his power.
Earlier, when Dangros wanted to talk to Toby, he climbed onto Angor's shoulder. Now that Toby had occupied Angor's shoulder and was showing off his power, Dangros knew what Toby was trying to do.
Angor's shoulder was a sacred spot that belonged to Dangros, and he would not allow anyone to invade it.
Fiery Midier chuckled in a guttural voice. "Looks like Flame Griffin and Mister Padt are quite close."
Angor already knew what Toby meant when he saw Toby yelling at Dangros, "Get out of here!"
He felt a little amused when he saw Toby pacing back and forth on his shoulder. But since they were in someone else's territory, Angor didn't want to embarrass Toby, so he pretended that he didn't know what was going on.
Fiery Midier didn't continue the topic. He put away his smile and said to Angor, "I know it's a bit out of line, but I still want to give you a suggestion, mister."
Angor looked at Fiery Midier and waited for the demon's explanation.
"The World Sound is a grand event for all living beings in the Tidal Realm. It will last for an entire day, and during this time, a large number of living beings will be born. There will also be a large number of living beings who will undergo a transformation in their life essence and be reborn." Fiery Midier continued, "Of course, it's not just for us. Mister Padt and this Flame Griffin here will also benefit greatly from the World Echo.
"And this is the place that will receive the World Echo the most in the entire Fire Realm."
Angor already knew what Fiery Midier was trying to say.
Toby's griffin form had just evolved, but Angor could still sense that most of the fire energy in the crater was flowing into Toby's body. Toby's fire energy had not reached its limit yet.
Normally, it would take many years for Toby to reach the upper limit of his fire tolerance. However, during the Elemental Tide, he would be able to reach saturation in the shortest time possible in the Fire Domain where the energy intensity was the highest.
Considering the future, it was better for Toby to stay here and continue to level up.
This was also Magefire Midier's suggestion.
Angor hesitated. Midier's suggestion was good, but he was worried that Toby would be in danger if he stayed here alone.
Midier noticed Angor's hesitation. "The World Echo will benefit Professor Magoo a lot as well. Why don't you wait until it's over before you go to Professor Magoo?"
He knew that the best solution was to stay here with Toby. But this was Midier's lair, and he didn't want to ask.
Since Demon Fire Midier was giving him a way out, Angor would gladly accept it.
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness."
Demonic Flame Midier indicated that it was fine.
Angor told Toby to turn back into his griffin form and continue bathing in the lava pool. Toby also wanted to keep leveling up, but he was worried that Dankros would take his spot if he left.
Angor chuckled and assured Toby that he wouldn't let Dankros climb up. Satisfied, Toby turned back into his griffin form and returned to the lava pool.
While Toby was enjoying his bath, Angor didn't forget about Elmi.
Elmi was an awakened demon who followed a different path. However, the nature of elemental energy didn't change in every world, so Elmi could still benefit from the Elemental Tide.
Elmi also turned into a fiery shadow and entered the lava pool to enjoy the baptism of the Elemental Tide on the other side of Toby.
Midier looked at Angor and said, "Mister Padt, you can learn the power of fire here as well."
Angor shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't know much about fire. I've already reached the saturation point."
"I see." Midier nodded and looked at Angor's left earlobe, where the red flame mark was still glowing. "Then why don't you let the mark absorb the power of the World Sound? It seems like it's thirsty for fire energy."
Angor glanced at Midier. He could tell that Midier wasn't speaking in a calm tone, but there was something else in his eyes.
Clearly, Midier hadn't given up on studying the flame mark yet.
Magefire Midier had been laying the groundwork for so long in order to draw out this suggestion. He wanted to use this opportunity to understand the flame imprint.
Angor knew what Midier was trying to do, but he didn't plan to refuse.
Midier's suggestion was correct. This was the first time the flame mark given to him by Oderklas showed such a reaction. As the bearer of the mark, Angor could clearly feel that the mark was thirsting for the Elemental Tide.
Most of the mark's power had been lost after leaving the Abyss Plane. If he could replenish it during the Elemental Tide, it would be a good thing for him.
Angor was planning to use this chance to satisfy the mark's needs.
As for Midier wanting to study the mark … well, let it be. The mark's power came from Oderklas anyway. If Midier could figure it out, it would be Midier's own effort.
Angor nodded to Midier. "Thank you for your suggestion, Your Highness. I was thinking the same thing."
Midier's eyes brightened up. Even his breathing quickened.
Fiery Flame Midier tried its best not to look too anxious. "I'll go to the other side then. I don't want to disturb you while you're using the World Echo."
"Come with me, Dangeros."
Magic Fire Midier took Dankros, who was still in a daze, and quickly retreated to the edge of the volcano. It seemed to be closing its eyes to meditate, but Angor believed that Magic Fire Midier was still watching them. As for why it retreated so far away, it probably didn't want to disturb the flame mark while it was absorbing the Element Tide, which would make it difficult for Angor to investigate further.
Angor didn't care about Midier's thoughts. He leaned against the cliff wall and meditated while activating his Fire Signet.
With a thought, the mark immediately went from being sealed to sensing the Elemental Tide.
The Elemental Tide, which had been completely isolated from Angor, began to rush into his earlobe.
It was so fast and powerful that it created a torrent of fire in front of him.
The sudden appearance of the fire completely attracted Midier's attention. The creature looked at Angor curiously, as if it was trying to see through the torrent to see the terrible mark behind him.
The torrent of flames lasted for half a day. During this time, Magefire Midier didn't look away.
Two hours later, Angor finally felt the mark was full.
After the baptism of the Elemental Tide, the flame mark had replenished all the energy it had consumed. Although it did not absorb Oderklass's power, it was enough to release the power of fire that matched Oderklass's power rank.
This further strengthened Angor's ability to protect himself.
Angor was planning to continue absorbing the Elemental Tide's power to improve the Origin Flame in his mark. However, the Origin Flame didn't do anything to the Elemental Tide. Even the Elemental Tide didn't dare to approach the Origin Flame inside the mark.
It was obvious that the Origin Flame was much stronger than the Elemental Tide.
The Elemental Tide was almost a special law of the Tide Realm. Even so, it was still weaker than the Provenance Flame.
Angor had no choice but to deactivate the mark.
The mark no longer flickered and turned back into an ordinary pattern, which didn't look very eye-catching. However, all of the living beings who had witnessed the torrent of flames knew just how powerful this flame mark was.
Midier might have been planning to use brute force earlier, but now, it didn't. This was the result of the Origin Flame's power.
Angor calculated the time and found that there were still two hours before the Elemental Tide ended.
Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to collect the fire element crystals falling from the sky.
These crystals weren't expensive materials, but there were a lot of them, and the quality of the flames inside them was quite good. They could be considered as miniature versions of the Elemental Tide.
Angor could use his supernatural extractor to store the fire energy so that he could use it for alchemy in the future.
This was much better than the so-called "Elixir" of the Shannon Family.
Perhaps he could even use this energy to create more powerful items and create something above mid-tier.
Still, this was only an idea. Whether it would work or not, Angor would have to do some research.
Every time he collected ten thousand fire element crystals, he would use the Extraordinary Extractor to extract them. After about a hundred times, the extractor produced a bottle of red light that was extremely dense.
The "rain of fire" had stopped, and the Elemental Tide began its countdown.
He carefully put away the special bottle and looked at Fiery Midier, who was still flying toward him.
Midier didn't ask what Angor was doing. He only nodded respectfully and handed Angor Dankros to Angor. "I've gained something from the Elemental Tide, so I'll need to shut myself up for a few days. I hope I can talk to you when I'm done, mister. "
"You will," Angor said.
After Demonic Fire Midier finished speaking, he flapped his giant wings and flew into a cave in the volcano, disappearing from sight.
Angor watched as Fiery Midier's figure slowly disappeared. Fiery Midier never trained in the Elemental Tide, so there was no way he could gain anything from it. However, Angor believed that Fiery Midier must have found something from the flame mark. Angor was sure that Fiery Midier left in such a hurry because he found something from the flame mark.
Angor didn't plan to ask. The flame mark belonged to Oderklas anyway, so it didn't matter if Midier found something.
He was more interested in Toby and Elmi's loot.
Angor lowered his head and looked inside the volcano. Toby had finished his training as well. Stepping on flames, he chased after a fiery shadow from below.
It was Elmi. He came to Angor's side and melted into Angor's shadow without any trouble.
Toby circled around the shadow a few times and tried to drag Elmi out of the shadow by yelling at him.
He thought Toby and Elmi were fighting each other down there. But after listening carefully, he realized that Toby was simply too arrogant and kept calling Elmi "Blossom Wildcat". He wanted to fight Elmi again.
However, Elmi completely treated Toby as if he did not exist and did not pay any attention to him.
Seeing that Elmi didn't respond, Toby turned back into a small seabird and sat on Angor's shoulder, sulking.
Dankros looked at Toby with admiration again. It seemed to have forgotten the cruel way Toby slapped him away. Dankros grabbed Angor's collar and tried to climb to Toby.
But before he could reach Angor's shoulder, Toby kicked him away again.
Toby cursed at Dankros. Angor wasn't sure if Dankros understood, but the bird didn't dare to lean on Angor's shoulder again.
He summoned Hand of Spell and grabbed Dankros' arm.
Toby hopped onto Angor's head and sat on it.
Angor wanted to pull Toby down, but he knew that Toby only wanted to show his "territorial rights". Pulling Toby up now would only make the bird rebel.
"Just this once," Angor sent a voice transmission to Toby to show his respect.
Toby chirped as a response.
Angor ignored Toby and looked at Dankros. "Now, please take us to Professor Magoo."
…
After flying for about ten minutes, Angor finally saw the endless lava lake.
He saw a lot of fire-type creatures along the way, including Phoenix, the Blazing Undying Bird he met earlier.
Maybe it was because of the previous battle, Phoenix was a bit hostile to him. But since it was the new king's order, Phoenix did not do anything out of the ordinary. She only left some words behind when Angor was about to leave.
It wasn't meant for Angor though. It wanted to fight Elmi again.
"I'll get the chance", just like how he told Fiery Midier, and quickly moved away from Phoenix.
Apart from Phoenix, the other fire creatures didn't show any hostility toward Angor. Angor didn't do anything before, and even if he did, they wouldn't notice.
None of the fire creatures dared to approach Angor, but they only watched from afar.
Angor felt it was a pity. He came to Tidal Realm not only to find information about Feng, but also to find an elemental partner.
There must be a suitable one among these fire creatures. If he could talk to it nicely, he might be able to convince it to leave.
