Korokro only showed up when the last group of minions left. Compared to the first time Angor saw it, Korokro had shrunk to half of its original size. Its long, slender legs were covered by a giant ball of fire, which only reached Angor's knees when it stood up straight.
Compared to Kerokro, who was half the height of a human, she was much smaller.
While Angor studied Kerokro, Kerokro took the initiative to report on his mission for the past few days.
"S-Mister, I-I completed Dan … Dan … Dan … Dan … Groth's mission. All … all of my minions … are here. "
Korokro tried its best to speak, but the more it wanted to finish, the more it stuttered. It took Korokro a long time to finish a simple sentence.
Angor gave Fisspanre a doubtful look after hearing Kerokro's words.
"Korokro stuttered a little," Fiscone said in a small voice.
Korokro's flames turned even redder when it heard Fiscone's words. It lowered its head in embarrassment, not knowing where to look.
Angor nodded. He didn't say anything, but he felt a little disappointed. Stuttering wasn't a big deal, but if he could really dupe Korokro, then in the future, when he cultivated the fire element, he would definitely need to communicate with him. At that time, if Korokro couldn't finish his sentence, he would probably feel a little frustrated.
Still, it was only a small flaw. There was still a way to fix it.
Besides, Korokro already had intelligence and could communicate with the outside world as an elf. It was much better than other dumb elemental spirits. Maybe it would stop stuttering when it matured.
Angor didn't think too much about it. Besides, it was still too early to think about the unpredictable future.
Angor looked at Korokro with a smile while thinking about how to trick it.
"You've done a great job in completing your mission. I've seen a lot of interesting fire-type innate abilities. It's an eye-opener for me. Come to think of it, I'm interested in your talent as well. "Angor stared at Korokro.
Korokro looked a little nervous and tried to explain, "I-I'm … a little …"
"I know. I've seen your talent before. It's something like Elemental Self-Destruct."
Koroklo nodded, swallowing back the words she hadn't said.
"I'm really curious. After the elements self-destructed, you were still able to condense intelligence and reunite as one. There must be a miraculous process behind this. Can I ask you about it? "
Korokro didn't know how to answer, because in its opinion, if it wanted to understand more, it had to set an example and self-destruct, but it couldn't self-destruct yet.
"Dankros already told me about your condition. He won't let you self-destruct. Just tell me how you did it."
Korokro: "But, but, I spoke …"
"It's fine. Take your time. There's no rush, right?" Angor smiled. "Why don't you stay here for a while? Let's have a good chat. It's a little cold here. Do you need me to adjust the environment for you? "
"No need," Kerokro answered without thinking.
"It's decided then."
What did he decide? Did I say yes?
While Korokro was still in a daze, Angor looked at Fispan. "I'll leave it here. Is that okay?"
Fispan glanced at Korokro and saw through Angor's intention.
It was silent for a moment before it said, "Okay. But Korokro is still recovering. It's best if you bring it back to Magoo at night. This place isn't suitable for Korokro's recovery. "
Angor nodded with a smile. "Sure."
Korokro stayed inside the illusion cabin, while Fispan gave Angor a meaningful look before he turned around and walked away in a graceful manner.
Angor led Korokro into the room and began to talk with the creature with a smile.
Although Korokro was a little stuttering, he was able to communicate with him as he spoke slowly. And the content of their conversation revolved around Korokro's self-destruction innate skill.
Angor wasn't lying. He was really interested in this talent. How in the world did Korokro manage to preserve his own consciousness in the midst of the incomparably powerful explosion?
Apart from talking about the talent, Angor also tried to talk about the human world. Sometimes, he would talk about the outside world, or tell Korokro about the bigger and more bizarre general plane.
Of course, Angor wanted Korokro to know more about the outside world. However, Korokro's body was covered in flames, so Angor couldn't tell what it was feeling.
When dusk came, Angor sent Korokro back to the lava lake and arranged a meeting time for the next day.
On his way back to Icefire Cave, Angor ran into Phoenix, who was descending from the sky.
Phoenix came aggressively, bringing with him a strong fighting spirit. His target was Elmi.
He didn't want to fight an unnecessary battle, so he told the bird that Elmi was fine. Phoenix didn't see Elmi anywhere, so it thought something was wrong with Elmi and left in a hurry.
As for fighting Angor? Phoenix knew that Angor had some tricks up his sleeve, so it was hard to say what would happen. However, Phoenix didn't want to fight with Angor. Compared to these tricks, Phoenix preferred a straightforward fight like Elmi's.
After sending Phoenix away, Angor sensed that someone was staring at him from behind.
Angor looked back and saw a giant shadow slowly rising from the lava lake.
It was staring at Angor with a pair of burning eyes.
Angor recognized it. It was the fire giant, Duroche.
Duroche gave Angor a hostile look. However, it didn't do anything and only stared at Angor from afar.
However, it was this kind of gaze that already carried an intense sharpness.
Duroche was much more powerful than a few days ago. It must have benefited a lot from the Elemental Tide.
Even Elmi, who was hiding in Angor's shadow, began to warn Angor.
Just like Phoenix, Duroche was probably trying to get back at Elmi. Now that Earl was hiding and they couldn't find him, they probably wouldn't make a move.
After all, Angor was summoned by Magoo and Fiend Midier. Unless Fiend Midier gave the order, they wouldn't do anything to him.
With that in mind, Angor ignored Duroche's gaze and walked toward the Iceflame Cave.
After leaving the lava pool, the prickly feeling disappeared. When Angor looked back, Duroche had already sunk to the bottom of the lake. It must have gone to guard Dangros.
Angor shook his head and walked along the scorched path back to the cave.
Another two days passed.
For the next two days, he was still focusing on Kerokro.
During this time, he noticed that Korokro rarely expressed its opinions because of its stuttering. But it seemed the creature had a lot more to offer than he thought.
Also, Korokro seemed to accept many things passively, but it didn't mean the creature didn't have any opinions. It was just trying to suppress them.
Because of this, Angor noticed that Korokro was hiding his emotions very well. He also noticed that Korokro didn't have a good impression of him.
It just didn't show it.
If Korokro already hated Angor, it wouldn't be easy to fool it. Therefore, Angor's main goal for the past two days was to get closer to Korokro.
At the very least, he needed to get rid of Korokro's wariness and return it to normal.
However, Korokro was too introverted, which made it easier for the creature to notice him if he tried to get closer. Therefore, Angor decided to slowly lower Korokro's wariness by using small details that were hard to notice.
Korokro didn't notice Angor's change in mind.
But it also had a side effect — it was too inefficient. Although Korokro had begun to lower his guard, there was still a long way to go before he could completely let his guard down and successfully conquer the enemy.
Angor couldn't stay here for too long, which troubled him a lot.
…
Night came. As usual, Angor sent Korokro back to the lava lake.
When Angor was about to leave, Toby, who was sitting on his shoulder, suddenly screeched at the sky.
Angor looked up and saw a fiery sparrow flying toward him from afar with a long burning tail.
"Nice to meet you again." Angor nodded to the sparrow.
It was Fispan. Using its wings as its hands, Fispan bowed to Angor. "Mister Padt, Her Highness has finished her training and wants to talk to you. Do you have time now? "
Angor nodded. "Sure."
Angor wanted to see Demonfire Midier again. He also wanted to know what Midier thought about humans entering the Tidal Realm in the future.
He patted Toby's head, and Toby immediately understood what he meant. The bird quickly transformed into a Fire Griffin that was several times bigger than Fispan's.
Under Fispan's shocked gaze, Angor sat on Toby's back. "Let's go."
"Please come with me." Fez Spanry nodded absent-mindedly.
While flying to the crater, Faes and Pan Rui kept looking at Toby with curiosity and bewilderment in his eyes.
"You're curious about Toby?"
Having his thoughts pointed out, Fez Spanry nodded his head in embarrassment. "Although I vaguely saw a bit of it during the Sound of the World, this is the first time I've seen the descendants of Kalomonkis at such a close distance … They're really powerful and imposing, just as Magoo described."
Toby, who was praised by Fesperre, chirped proudly. However, Toby had forgotten that he was now in his griffin form. His cry was much louder than when he was in his seabird form. Just his cry alone was enough to set off waves of sound waves that attracted the attention of many nearby fire creatures.
Angor even saw the lava lake below trembling, which revealed Duroche's figure.
Angor glanced at Duroche and looked away. "Toby's happy about your compliment."
"I'm just stating facts," Fispan replied in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Toby roared even more excitedly.
Angor stroked Toby's mane to calm him down. If Toby continued to chirp like this, they would become the center of attention for sure.
Angor quickly changed the topic. "By the way, how's Dangros doing? Is Duroche still guarding him?"
At the mention of Dankros, a look of sympathy appeared on Fez Spanry's face. "Yes, Dankros is still cowering at Magoo's place, not daring to show his face.
"Is Duroche that hateful? Did Dangros do something terrible to Duroche while he was still unconscious? That's why Duroche can't forgive him even after he regained his consciousness? "
Fischeri shook his head, "That's not true. With Dankros' level, he wouldn't be able to do anything too evil. The main reason is that Dankros used to use Duroche as his underling to intimidate other elemental creatures and did a lot of terrible things. "
"Besides, Duroche's lucky this time. But we can't deny that Dangros misjudged your strength and position, which damaged Duroche's origin."
"That's why Duroche doesn't want to let him go."
Angor nodded. In other words, they couldn't use a good outcome to deny the mistake that led to the current situation.
Fispan continued, "But Duroche doesn't really want to do anything to Dangros. He's just showing his attitude. After all, Dangros exploited him for so many years, and he needs to pay something back. I think this will last for another month or two, and Dangros will have to hide for a while longer. That's good. If Dangros doesn't do anything, everyone will be happy. "
"So you're saying Dankros isn't welcomed here?"
Fispan shook his head. "No. It's just that he was born from the ashes of Kalomonkis, so people are more tolerant of him. After so many years, they're more than willing to relax a little bit. "
While they were chatting, the outline of the huge crater had already appeared below them.
Fispan stopped. "His Highness is waiting for you down there. I won't go in."
Angor nodded and patted Toby's shoulder. Toby quickly dove into the glowing red crater.
Inside the crater, Angor saw Fiery Midier standing on top of an artificial platform. The creature still looked like a demon, but its two fiery horns were bigger and spiraling upward. Its wings weren't fully extended yet, but it already looked quite intimidating.
Angor told Toby to train in the lava while he approached Midier and bowed to it.
