Angor stopped talking about Toby's unconscious state. After that, he only casually mentioned that a powerful senior had helped Toby remove the curse. He didn't go into the details of what had happened in between.
Still, Greya and Felicia were already surprised by what Angor told them.
Greya didn't expect Toby to have such an interesting story behind his coma. What surprised her the most was that Angor went to the Abyss Plane while she was out of contact with him.
Greya was curious about Angor's experience in the Abyss Plane, but now wasn't the time for gossip.
They returned to Toby's story.
The Curse of Disaster had caused Toby to fall into danger, and it had also triggered the Five Flavor Calamity in Toby's body. This was the cause and effect of everything.
Angor wasn't to blame. No one expected that the Silent Dead Sea, where the Pilgrim of Misfortune resided, was connected to the Overwatch Base by an underground river, which caused Toby to accidentally eat Olof's Tentacle Crab which contained the Curse of Disaster.
Greya considered and asked, "You said that Toby acted very differently when you entered his dream last time?"
"Yes. In the dream, Toby didn't change much in front of me. But behind my back, he was very hostile toward some of my servants. He even attacked them." Angor explained his experience in detail. "There's something else. The scene in the dream should be Padt Manor, where I was born. It's located in the heart of the Old Earth. But in Toby's dream, Padt Manor was located on a small island surrounded by an endless sea. "
"Possessiveness," Greya muttered in a low voice as if she had thought of something.
Toby was a creature created by Greya using a Genesis spell. When creating him, Greya placed five different flavors in a dish: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.
These five flavors were created from the organs of a legendary monster that Greya accidentally found. They corresponded to the five flavors inside Toby's body — Love, Hatred, Resentment, Anger, and Sorrow.
Toby once went through the first tribulation: Fury Tribulation.
Greya sensed that Toby had already gone through the tribulation. What would the second one be like? From Angor's description, Greya seemed to have a better idea of what was going on.
The Tribulation of Extreme Resentment.
Because Toby didn't want to share, he hated Toby. Because of hatred, he became jealous. And because of jealousy, he became even more possessive.
Toby didn't show such strong hatred in his dream, but his possessiveness toward Angor was very clear. The small island in Toby's dream was a symbol of Toby's desire to monopolize Angor. The island was isolated from the rest of the world by the sea, and Toby hoped that Angor would not leave.
According to Angor, when he entered Toby's dream, Toby only showed signs of "Five Flavors Tribulation". Toby didn't really experience the tribulation yet, which meant Toby didn't hate him as much.
He tried to enter Toby's dream again, but he was immediately kicked out. Instead of seeing the Padt Manor, Toby only saw a dark mist that looked like a grudgeful spirit.
If he left the dream, he would's would be haunted by's's very soon.
The second time Angor entered Toby's dream, he saw that Toby had already gone through the tribulation. This tribulation was called the Tribulation of Extreme Resentment.
Angor listened to Greya's explanation and was still worried. He didn't care what kind of tribulation Toby was facing. He just wanted to know if Toby could survive it.
"It's not long since Toby went through the Tribulation of Five Flavors. Toby hasn't fully grasped the power of his griffin form yet. Now he's going through the tribulation again … It's going to be very difficult." Greya sighed and shook her head.
Angor's heart skipped a beat. "Is there any other way? Like using external forces to help Toby?"
Greya fell into deep thought.
Greya loved Toby just as much as Angor did. She was also worried about Toby's condition. However, she really didn't know how to help him.
The second tribulation of the Five Flavours Tribulation, if compared to the realm of Magi, was actually a huge barrier to breaking through to become an official Magus.
If Toby succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, he would be as strong as a wizard. In fact, he might even be stronger than ordinary wizards.
However difficult it was for an apprentice to break through the barrier, Toby's tribulation would be equally difficult.
Apprentices would always be fully prepared when trying to break through the barrier. If something unexpected happened during the process, they would have a detailed plan to deal with it. Toby, however, was different. First of all, he hadn't fully grasped the power of his griffin form, and there was no external force to help him. He didn't even know how to deal with the tribulation. Toby had to rely on himself … or rather, his luck.
Consecutive tribulations were a very dangerous thing to do.
The Curse of Disaster had led to such a dangerous situation, so it was naturally impossible for it to be resolved so easily. Even if the Curse of Disaster was removed, this matter had already entered an irreversible state.
Greya thought for a long time. She even took out Toby's notes and flipped through them. However, she still couldn't think of a way to help Toby.
"Is there really no other way?" Angor asked in a hoarse voice.
"Nothing is absolute in this world. Even the undead can crawl out of the swamp of depravity. Don't lose hope." Sunders spoke up first. "You're right. Nothing is absolute in this world. Even the undead can crawl out of the mire of depravity.
Greya nodded. "There must be a way. But I don't know enough yet."
Greya considered for a moment. "I have a suggestion."
Angor looked at Greya and waited for her opinion.
"I remember you once said that you were in Dark Castle when Toby entered the Calamity." Greya looked at Angor and saw him nodding. "You also said that Toby acted strangely in Dark Castle."
Angor considered and nodded again.
The last time Toby was in the Soul Genesis Garden, something did happen. Every time Angor approached the temple, Toby would react strangely.
"I did some research. Toby's soul is very special. It's incomplete, but it didn't act strangely. It's because of the Taste Disaster. Toby's soul is in balance with the Taste Disaster, but the Taste Disaster is also affecting Toby's soul. "
"So I think Toby's tribulation has something to do with his soul. Maybe we can find a way to solve the problem by studying his soul. "
Greya's explanation reminded Angor of what Grand Priest Byar said when he saw Toby in Soul Genesis Garden.
Angor didn't know about the Taste Disaster back then, so Grand Priest Byar told him, "Toby's soul is being invaded by anger. Only by defeating it will Toby wake up."
And it turned out that Grand Priest Byar was right. Once Toby defeated the anger, he would be free from the tribulation.
"I don't know much about souls," Greya continued, "but I don't know much about them. But I think Isabelle, the Lord of Twilight, is the most knowledgeable person in the entire southern wizarding region. Maybe she can help us find a way to solve Toby's problem. "
Angor considered for a moment. He didn't expect to ask Isabelle for help in the end.
He believed Isabelle would agree to help him, but whether she could solve Toby's problem was more important.
"I understand. I'll ask Lady Isabelle about it."
Greya was going to hold a banquet to celebrate Angor's breakthrough, but before she could say anything, Angor had already left the ice cave with Toby in a hurry. Clearly, he was going to find Isabelle right away.
Greya shook her head and sighed as she watched Angor leave in a hurry.
"I didn't think Angor would become so strong in such a short time." Greya paused and looked at Sunders. "Since he's gone, we can't continue the banquet. How about we talk about the Nightmare Realm?"
…
Angor didn't expect to return to Soul Genesis Garden so soon after he left.
After leaving the altar outside Hippocrac, Angor glanced at the holy mountain from afar. He didn't go to Isabelle right away. Isabelle was probably reuniting with Molia after a long separation, and it wasn't a good time to disturb them. So, he sent a magic letter out of courtesy and waited for Isabelle's response.
Angor made it clear that he had something to ask Isabelle for help. Since his Prelude to Rebirth was full, he could use this chance to turn the baby soul back into a soul.
While waiting for Isabelle's response, Angor went to the Centenary Palace.
Not long after he took his seat, the High Priestess of Byar, riding on a black and white flying boar, knocked on the door of the temple.
Angor used his spirit ripples to summon Grand Priest Byar from the Holy Mountain Temple.
As soon as he entered the door, Angor told him what he wanted.
He placed Toby on the table and asked Byar to check the boy's soul condition.
Byar had been praying near the Soul Genesis Garden for many years. His soul wasn't strong, but he was much better at sensing souls than most people. In fact, he was even better than Angor.
Plus, Byar saw all kinds of souls in Hippocrac's magic array. His understanding of souls wasn't any worse than a soul wizard's.
Byar didn't ask why. Instead, he looked at Toby.
After a long while, Bya knitted her brows. "Is this the second time?"
Angor nodded.
The last time Byya saw Toby, he was unconscious. Although Toby was still unconscious this time, the state of his soul was completely different from before.
