Angor wasn't sure about Toby's condition. Maybe there were other reasons why Toby didn't wake up at all.
For example, the snake did something to Toby.
Or maybe Toby did something on his own.
Angor tried to recall what happened. Toby was in the snake's territory, and all the smaller snakes were hostile toward him. However, the snake didn't do anything to Toby.
Even though Toby was protected by the power of gravity, it was nothing compared to the strength and defense of the giant snake.
So why didn't the giant snake attack Toby?
Also, when Angor tried to escape with Toby, the snake attacked him without hesitation. Clearly, it did not treat Toby the same way. In the end, the snake still chased after Angor even left Shadow Cave, which showed how much it hated Toby.
What kind of unforeseen event happened in between?
The more he thought about it, the more he frowned. After hesitating for a while, he decided to ask Sunders for help.
Sunders had been acting like a tsundere for most of the day, but when Angor asked him for help, he no longer acted like that. Instead, he looked at Toby.
Sunders' hand glowed with a gentle light as he scanned Toby's body.
"Blood, heartbeat, and organs are all normal," Sunders said. Sunders considered for a moment and said, "Its brain waves are consistent with sleeping conditions. There should be no problem."
Angor didn't lower his voice when he asked the question, so Kanter noticed the interaction between Angor and Sunders.
"Your professor is right. Maybe Toby is sleeping too soundly," Kanter said.
Angor nodded as if he accepted the answer. However, he still felt uneasy.
Toby did experience this once before. It was when Toby went through the "Taste Test". Toby needed to tame the "anger" left behind by a legendary monster, which caused him to fall asleep for a long time.
It wasn't until the purification garden that Toby successfully tamed the "anger" and activated his new form, "Gryphon of Fury".
For Toby, taming the five emotions in his heart — love, hatred, anger, and sadness — was a necessary process for him to grow up.
However, Toby's "Taste Test" was also the most dangerous moment of his life.
Outsiders couldn't help it, so it had to go on its own. If it failed, it would ultimately become a puppet controlled by the five emotions.
Could it be that Toby fell asleep because of the "Taste Test"?
That didn't seem right. It had only been a few years since Toby had subdued the "anger" in his heart. According to Greya's prediction, the second battlefield should not be activated so soon.
After all, although Toby had subdued Wrath, he was still figuring out how to use the power of Wrath.
At the very least, he had to wait until Toby had completely mastered "anger" before he could start a new Five Flavors Calamity.
Angor frowned. His mind was filled with all kinds of questions.
Sunders, who was sitting beside Angor, noticed the change in Angor's expression. When Angor muttered "five flavors", Sunders recalled Greya's "Five Flavors Disaster".
Sunders thought about the giant serpent.
He had fought against the serpent before, so he knew how terrifying its emotional field was. Sunders understood Angor's concerns. Toby might not really enter the second Five Flavors Calamity, but it was highly possible that the serpent's emotional field had drawn out the hidden emotions in Toby's body in advance.
"If you're really worried, you can try entering Toby's dream," Sunders suddenly said. "But you can only enter dreams, not read them."
Angor nodded as he was thinking about the same thing.
Entering a dream meant entering someone's dream. As long as you didn't speak first, the person wouldn't notice you in the dream. Reading a dream, on the other hand, meant communicating with someone in a dream.
Dreams were unpredictable. Moreover, those who were not familiar with dream control could change the rules of the dream with a single thought. Therefore, before understanding the situation, it was best not to read the dreams. Sometimes, even the most intimate and familiar people in the dream might have unforeseen events due to incomplete logic in their thinking, leading to changes in their conversation.
Of course, this would only happen when one's level of Dream Reading was low.
If Angor could reach the "Command" stage of Dream Reading, he wouldn't need to worry about getting hurt by entering someone's dream.
With Sunders looking after his body, Angor didn't need to worry about anything else. He set aside his distracting thoughts and began to construct Dream Reading in his mind space.
Soon, he reached his dream feelers into Toby's dream bridge.
Kanter looked at Angor who was sleeping on the table and asked out of curiosity, "What's wrong with you?
"Angor learned Dream Manipulator skills?"
"Dreams and illusions are often mentioned in the same breath. Perhaps, the combination of the two will have some unexpected effect. "
Kanter's eyes lit up. "You're saying Angor is going to create a spell by combining them?"
Before Sunders could answer, Kanter lowered his voice and said, "So you really want Angor to follow that path. You're going to teach him how to create spells when he's still an apprentice?"
Sunders didn't expect Kanter to take his words so seriously.
However, Sunders knew that it would be extremely difficult for Angor to create a spell by combining dreams and illusions. Angor's current understanding of "dreams" was still very shallow. Even the few Dream Cantrips he created were forced.
So Kanter's assumption was wrong. Besides, Sunders hoped that Angor could create his own spells from the first spell slot, but he had to be realistic. With the threat of the Demon God and the Nightmare Realm looming over his head at the same time, Angor's best choice now was to focus on breaking through the barrier first.
However, Sunders didn't explain. He only smiled.
Kanter wanted to ask more questions so that he could use this chance to help Keely. But he suddenly frowned and looked at the sky in the distance.
"There's trouble again."
Not long after they entered the Lightless Mountains, they ran into danger again.
Several gargoyles burning with flames led a team of demons. They flapped their huge bat-like wings and leaped out of the forest, filling the sky in a densely packed manner.
…
At the same time, Angor crossed the dream bridge and entered Toby's dream.
Angor thought Toby's "Taste Disaster" would be filled with hurricanes, storms, volcanoes, and earthquakes. However, he didn't see anything like that.
At first glance, Toby's dream didn't seem strange at all.
The background of the dream was an island manor, which looked quite similar to Padt Manor. Transparent soap bubbles floated around the manor. Some were as big as hot air balloons, while others were as small as marbles.
Under the sunlight, the soap bubbles reflected a colorful light, floating above the manor, floating to the clear blue sky, and floating to the sparkling blue sea.
Angor had to admit that the dream was very girly.
Given Toby's passion for pink lace dresses, this dream suited him very well.
Angor didn't think there was anything wrong with the dream at first.
That was until "Toby", Angor's "host", did something strange after entering the manor and attracted his attention.
Since this island manor was very similar to Padt Manor, it made sense that someone familiar would show up in this place.
For example, Head Maid Mana.
Head Maid Mana was standing at the entrance of the castle with a big plate in her hand. Toby flew down, grabbed the food on the plate, and began to eat.
Angor noticed that the food on the plate looked like crab meat.
After a few bites, Toby kicked the plate over and made some "cawing" sounds at Head Maid Mana, which drove her away.
Angor understood the meaning of those "cawing" sounds.
You're so annoying!
Toby hated Head Maid Mana? Angor was a little confused. He didn't notice it back at Padt Manor.
After driving Head Maid Mana away, Toby saw Maid Auri who just came out of the castle.
Maid Ollie's face was red, and she looked shy and timid. Toby was pecking at the bubbles in the air. When he saw Auri, he angrily flew to her and cawed loudly.
You're even more annoying!
Auri was so scared that she ran out of the manor.
Toby's behavior was so strange that Angor felt even more confused.
Toby flew to the farm near the manor, where there was a golden Milkfruit Tree. Toby's friend, the Moonlily Fairy, was also there.
The Moonlily Fairy was sitting on a branch of the Milkfruit Tree with a plate in her hand, as well as a cup of cocoa milk beside her.
It smiled and waved at Toby, signaling him to come up and have a meal together.
"How will Toby react when he sees his best friend?" Angor wondered.
Toby would probably jump on the tree and have a good time with the Moonlily Fairy.
And Toby did just that. He came to the branch and quietly ate the food on the plate.
"Nice meeting with a good friend," Angor muttered to himself while observing what Toby was eating.
The plate was filled with … sea anemones.
Crab meat first, and now sea anemones. Did Toby eat the sea anemone crab he saw in Shadow Cave?
Toby finished the anemone as well.
Angor was shocked by what Toby did next.
It suddenly rushed to the Moonlily Fairy's side and tore her clothes apart in front of her beautiful face.
