Toby flapped his wings and landed in the middle of the hallway.
There was a door on each side of the hallway.
The door on the left looked like an ordinary wooden door. If Angor took a closer look, he would see that it was the door to his villa in Apprentice Town 8 when he was still a beginner apprentice.
As for the door on the right, it wasn't covered by a real door. Instead, it was covered by a layer of gray mist. The gray fog lingered at the entrance, constantly changing in intensity. Even before stepping in, it already made one feel uneasy.
Toby stared at the door with wide eyes. He knew that behind the door, there were plenty of dried fish, nice clothes, and beautiful music. It was a real paradise. However, although its eyes were looking at "paradise", its rationality and actions were urging it to walk towards the door on the right.
When Toby reached the door, he muttered to himself, "Once I'm safe, I can go to the other door and enjoy myself. Will you accept my small request, young master?"
With that thought in mind, Toby steeled his heart and flapped his wings, dashing into the gray mist on the right.
Angor, who was standing at the top of Heaven's Tower, suddenly looked away from the "Room of Heart" and looked outside the window.
Outside the window, the sky was originally blue. Suddenly, with a loud bang, a large number of clouds covered the bright and beautiful sunlight, and the sky gradually darkened. Amidst the clouds, Angor could see lightning bolts dancing in the air.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
"It's raining." Freud looked outside the window and saw Angor frowning. "Did something happen, sir?"
"It's coming." Angor nodded.
"It's coming? Who's coming? " Freud didn't understand what Angor meant at first. But when Angor looked at Toby who was lying on the table, Freud quickly realized something. "You mean the Will of Resentment, sir?"
Angor nodded. Since he was the one who created the dream wasteland, Angor was able to sense what was outside the box. Now that he had the Tree of Authority, the dream wasteland was under his control, which made him even more sensitive to the outside world.
Just now, Angor sensed a relatively small emotion gathering inside the dream wasteland. Using Toby as a medium, this emotion was trying to sneak into the box.
Without a doubt, it was the real Will of Resentment.
Angor had experienced the same thing before, so he knew what it meant when the grudge entered the dream wasteland through Toby's body.
"Is Toby facing the Serpent Bird now? Or should I say, the projection of the Will of Resentment? "Freud asked.
"Yes." Angor looked at Toby who seemed to be sleeping quietly with a hint of hope in his eyes. According to Froste, it was impossible for outsiders to help Toby. It all depended on Toby's situation. Angor could use the House of Heart to help Toby face the Will of Resentment in advance, but it was only a good environment. Whether Toby could defeat the Will of Resentment was still up to Angor.
"Since Toby is facing the Will of Resentment, it must be experiencing an upsurge of emotion in reality. I'll go back to reality and check on the situation. I'll leave Toby to you. " Angor glanced at Toby for a moment before leaving the dream wasteland.
At the same time, Angor opened his eyes in the real world.
He stood up and looked in front of him. Shirley was standing at the center of the "Wheel of Fate".
Because of the magic array, the area around Shirley was completely dark. Only the runes on the magic array were illuminating.
At this moment, Shirley seemed to have sensed something. She looked at the sleeping Toby and quickly put her hands together. She closed her eyes and whispered softly.
At this moment, Shirley's expression was very calm. She didn't look like the mischievous witch she usually was. There was nothing unusual about Toby in his sleep. His chest was still rising and falling in a slow rhythm.
Angor knew that Toby was facing the Will of Resentment right now. But judging from the situation in reality, Toby didn't get affected by the Will of Resentment yet. This was all thanks to Shirley's help.
Angor sighed in relief. Shirley's talent was indeed useful for Toby. She was already able to suppress the Will of Resentment before activating the "Wheel of Fate". When Toby was in danger, Shirley would activate Fate's Zeal, which would allow Toby to fully face the resentment of the House of Heart, unlike last time when Angor forcefully interrupted him.
Suddenly, a gentle wisp of mana connected to him.
He looked back and saw Greya walking to his side. They were now connected by a pink string in the spirit world.
It was a level-3 cantrip called Spirit Bond.
He didn't refuse. Instead, he sent his spirit energy into the bond created by Greya.
"You're awake?" Greya sent a message to Angor. "Since you're back from your dream, does that mean Toby has begun to face the so-called Resentment of Lucid Dreams you mentioned?"
The Spirit Bond was directly connected to spiritual power, so he could clearly feel the emotions of all parties involved. Greya's message sounded serious, but Angor could tell that she was mocking him.
Clearly, Greya did not believe what Angor said about "lucid dreams".
Angor pretended that he didn't notice Greya's sarcasm. "Yes. It's the same as last time. Toby is facing the Will of Resentment, so I came out to check. But from what I can see, Toby's emotions are stable. Shirley's ability can suppress them. "
Greya raised an eyebrow. She couldn't tell if Angor was lying at all. Angor's message sounded serious. In other words, Angor wasn't lying. Was Toby really facing the Will of Resentment?
Greya couldn't figure out how Toby managed to save the Resentment Spirit in a different way without facing it head-on.
Was it really a dream?
Greya had a dream before, but the rules of a dream were chaotic. How could it reflect reality like this?
Greya shook her head. She decided to put the information aside and focus on Toby's condition first. "Do you think Shirley can carry out your plan?"
"It's hard to say. When Toby's emotions reach their peak in the dream, he'll definitely react in real life. When that happens, it'll depend on whether Shirley can suppress it or not. If she can, then our plan will be halfway to success. "
"Only half done?" Greya asked.
Angor nodded. "As for the other half, we'll see if Toby can survive a hundred battles against the Grudge Spirit and learn how to deal with the calamity."
In other words, as long as Shirley could suppress Toby's emotions, Angor's experiment would be a success.
He had used up all his manpower. Whether he could succeed or not depended on Toby's luck.
