As it turned out, the reason there had been two Monarchs hidden in the depths of the lava lake next to Magmorious was because they had been attracted to the hollow valley, which had been located right below it all this time.
More specifically, the presence of the plentiful spiritual crystals rich in energy.
Though at that moment, no one paid heed to that revelation.
Even if the threat in the lake had long been exterminated, some soldiers still remained on guard in case something were to arise from the depths.
As fate seemed to have it, two beings did. The Monarch and Michael in his Demonic Form.
"What the hell is that?!"
"Where are the Lords when you need them?!"
"I don't care! Staying here is courting death, make way!"
Scared and disoriented, the soldiers abandoned their post, desperate to get as far away as possible.
