Two weeks after the battle with Jembei's group, Minos and his party were in the Obsidian Valleys, an area further north in the Magma Barrens.
Having completed Ruth's mission in the Central Caldera days earlier, Minos was now amid his quest to collect the remains of a long-lost creature in the Obsidian Valleys.
In this area of glowing black volcanic glass, where deposits of rare minerals lay, Minos' group of companions sat in lotus positions in the area while he walked along a burning path in the area under constant fire.
Minos endured the torture of the flames as he walked through the bluish flames of the area where sand was forming glass in large quantities with loud cracking sounds.
At that time, his cultivation had reached the peak of level 108, and he had borrowed the power of one of his group mates. Meanwhile, his flame-resistance ability was in action, with red flames covering his body and protecting him from the area.
