It was already very difficult to deal with the mayfly level of resentment. In the future, it would be unimaginable how terrifying it would be to face a fully grown giant beast. It was basically like an insurmountable mountain.
Moreover, at that time, due to the linkage of the Five Taste Tribulations, the suppressed resentment would very likely erupt together with the next Five Taste Tribulation.
In other words, if Toby chose the second option, he would still have to face a stronger version of Angor's Resentment. If Toby's body did not undergo any changes, the result would still be uncertain.
"Now it's your turn. Which one will you choose?"
Froste opened his hands. As his hands floated in the air, Angor could vaguely see a golden scale. The two options were like two weights of different materials, swaying on the sides of the scale.
Both options had their pros and cons, and the consequences were different.
The first option was to solve the problem now, but there would be a remote-controlled bomb placed inside his body that could be controlled by someone else. The second option was to delay. There would be several calamities in the future, and the chances of surviving them were slim. However, his fate was still in his own hands.
Which one should he choose?
"If you can't make a decision, I'd advise you to choose the first option. It will lower the risk to you," Froste's elegant voice echoed in Angor's ears.
Angor pondered for a moment and made up his mind. However, he did not make a decision right away. Instead, he asked, "What's the price for these two options?"
Froste said, "These two choices are nothing to me. You don't have to pay any price."
Anyone with a bit of a thick skin would have accepted the offer already. However, Angor did not believe that such a free lunch would fall into his lap. Did this mean he had to pay a favor?
Seeing Angor still staring at him without saying anything, Froste shrugged. "If you must pay a price, why don't you do it for me? If you become a Mystery alchemist one day, I'll ask you to pay the price."
"And if I don't?" Angor asked.
"Then I'll pretend the favor doesn't exist."
Angor fell into deep thought. Should he trade? If it was just asking for a favor, Angor could accept it. However, a favor was a very broad promise. An empty favor was a favor, and so was a sacrifice.
If he wanted to give her a favor, he should at least set a limit.
"If I do become a Mystery expert one day, I hope you won't ask for anything that goes against my will when you ask me to return the favor."
"Sure. Not only will I not go against your will, but I also promise that I won't put you in danger." Once Angor became the Mystery Alchemist, he would become a treasure trove that could never be used up.
Froste even lowered the upper limit of the favor, which surprised Angor a little.
Angor didn't think his favor was that important. However, Froste's condition was something that could happen after he became the mysterious alchemist, and Froste seemed to respect Angor's wishes. Angor began to doubt himself.
"Alright." Angor finally nodded and accepted Froste's offer.
Froste's lips curled up slightly. "Since you've already agreed, it's time for you to choose. Which one do you want to choose?"
Faced with the same choice again, Angor did not hesitate. "The second choice is to suppress it!"
Froste clicked his tongue and caressed the piece of music lovingly. "Looks like you're being rejected."
The bone flute glowed even brighter as if it was responding to Froste's words.
Froste chuckled and put away the piece of music. "Your little demon — I mean, friend … may face a greater disaster in the future. I hope you can make up your mind again. Are you sure you want to make this choice?"
"Yes." Angor nodded.
Froste shrugged. "Alright. Let's not waste time. Let's do it."
Froste's hand suddenly glowed with a blinding green light. Despite Angor's current strength, the light was too bright for him and forced him to turn his head away.
He waited for the green light to fade away before he turned around.
Toby didn't look any different from before. However, when Angor took a closer look, he saw black smoke rising from Toby's body.
The black smoke was extremely thick. It didn't smell bad, but it carried strong negative energy.
Resentment, hatred, jealousy, evil … All kinds of negative energy related to "resentment" were growing inside Toby's body.
Angor gave Froste a puzzled look. "What's wrong with Toby?"
"I've suppressed it. It's normal now. But …" Froste looked around. "This isn't a good place to transform. Let's go to the void."
Transform? Angor noticed the word and gave Froste a puzzled look.
Without any warning, Angor and Froste were teleported into a dark void.
This wasn't an illusion. It was the real void. He clearly sensed that the "target anchor" that had been hanging high in his mind was not far away.
Angor followed the anchor's direction and saw the door anomaly.
He didn't feel any space ripple or ripple at all. How was he brought to the void without being affected by anything? What kind of powerful spell was this?!
At the same time, Angor was also confused.
He did not understand why Froste would suddenly appear in the Void. Before Angor could ask, "Toby" told him the answer.
Toby released the black smoke faster and faster, and the area it covered was getting bigger and bigger.
With Toby as the center, the area within ten meters was filled with the black fog filled with resentment.
He began to worry about Toby's safety. However, his worry only lasted for a short while because the thick black mist around him suddenly became solid.
Angor looked at the terrifying monster that came out of the black smoke in shock.
He finally understood why Froste had mentioned "transformation" earlier. Toby had already transformed!
Just like the Gryphon, Toby used Froste's power to suppress the resentment and barely survived the second calamity.
Even though the resentment had become a hidden danger in Toby's body that could not be ignored, it had still given Toby new powers and used the resentment as an incarnation!
It was a monster that Angor couldn't tell what it was at all.
Its body was still surrounded by black smoke, but Angor could already see its general shape. It was at least ten meters long and had a pair of wings that covered the sky.
Angor didn't know what kind of monster it was, but the feeling it gave him didn't change at all. It was still gloomy, resentful, jealous, cold, damp, and chilling.
As Angor pondered, the monster was still struggling. However, all of a sudden, its head stretched out from the black fog. Its scarlet eyes were filled with endless madness as it roared at the void without a care in the world.
Terrifying energy waves continued to grow and spread.
Angor now understood why Froste brought Toby into the void. Once the monster transformed in Soul Realm, the energy waves it released could easily kill any apprentice nearby.
This was the power of a wizard-level wizard!
As the monster roared, Angor also noticed that the tongue sticking out of its long head was actually a scarlet forked tongue!
This was clearly a gigantic python with blood-colored patterns all over its body!
While Angor was still trying to figure out Toby's transformation, the giant python suddenly crawled out of the black smoke, allowing Angor to see its entire body.
Its head was a python, but its lower abdomen still had the characteristics of a bird, as well as a pair of wide wings.
When it came to its tail, it turned back into a snake again.
Overall, the creature was full of power. Also, because it was a snake, Angor could smell the dark, wet, and fishy smell, which made him shudder.
What kind of creature was this? What was Toby's transformation this time?
"Snake Bird." Froste answered Angor's question. Angor couldn't see Froste's eyes under the mask, but he could tell that Froste was appreciating the creature.
"The Snake Bird is a very rare magical creature. Such a graceful and huge Snake Bird is probably hard to find even among the Snake Birds." Froste praised, "Full of jealousy, vanity, and resentment. What a harmonious mix."
While Frost was praising, Toby, who had transformed into a serpentine bird, suddenly went crazy.
Toby turned its twisted neck and pointed its cold, scale-covered head at Angor in a strange way.
His scarlet eyes were filled with a demonic aura.
Toby angrily flicked his forked tongue and dove at Angor.
Toby had clearly lost his mind. His movements were swift and violent, and his mouth was wide open, revealing fangs that glowed with a ghostly green light … Clearly, Toby had not swooped down to express joy, but was filled with murderous intent.
When Toby was about to reach Angor, a crystal wall appeared in front of it.
Toby swung its tail, and the crystal wall shattered into pieces. But when one was destroyed, another one would appear. No matter how Toby attacked, it couldn't get close to Angor.
When Toby was about to go berserk, a strange sound suddenly came from the dark void.
Toby quickly turned around and looked at the source of the sound.
