Angor didn't know that everyone from Apotheosis Alchemy Guild was looking for him. Even if he did, he wouldn't care.
After retrieving the scout puppets he left in Fangling Pavilion, Angor returned to his lab in the manor. He had completed the customization for Shiliew and Onassis, but he was only halfway done with the Magician item he promised to give Shirley. He was forced to stop halfway because of Nausica's incident.
Now, he was going to work on Shirley's item first.
Since he was already halfway done, and he already had a plan in mind, the process went smoothly.
On the third day after entering the lab, he walked out of his room.
As soon as he came out, he received Greya's message.
"Was that an alchemy omen?" Not long ago, the weather outside suddenly changed. Wind, thunder, rain, and lightning came one after another. At the same time, she heard a strange chuckle echoing in her ears. At first, Greya didn't realize what was going on until she realized that the source of the change was Angor's lab.
It had to be an alchemy omen!
Alchemy omens couldn't be hidden forever, so Angor nodded. The item he made for Shirley was also a mid-tier one. Of course, alchemy omens would show up when the final product appeared.
When Angor was still an apprentice, he had a hard time dealing with such omens. One wrong move and he would be trapped in the space forever. However, now that he had become an official Magus, things were much better. Even though there were still many dangerous places in the Abnormal Phenomenon Space, it was still within his capabilities.
Still, this was only a low-tier item. If it was a high-tier item, Angor would have a hard time getting through it.
Greya muttered, "Good thing I reacted fast enough and put some protection on Shirley and the Zeal of Fate. If they were disturbed, we'd be screwed. This is a critical moment."
"Off?" Angor was confused. "What do you mean?"
"A few days ago, when you were in the lab, Toby woke up very excitedly. He said he found the key to defeating Grudge. I asked it about the specific situation, but it didn't say anything. However, it has been repeatedly trying for the past two days. It hasn't rested for a long time … That's not right. If sleeping counts as resting, it is also resting. It's just that its spirit hasn't stopped. "
"Anyway, according to Toby's estimation, we might be able to defeat the Grudge Spirit in a few tries."
This was a critical moment for Greya, and she was in a state of extreme anxiety. The alchemy omen really scared her.
"Has Toby found a way to defeat Resentment?" Angor's eyes lit up. He planned to take a rest in his room, but now he quickly went to the manor.
Inside the manor, Shirley was still paying attention to Toby's condition inside the magic array. Asaz was writing something down with a pen. As for Greya, she was playing with a small box in her hand.
"Is this what you mean by being paranoid?" Angor looked at the box in Greya's hand with a puzzled look. Judging from the patterns on the box, it should be a drama box he made himself, which contained a modified version of the fairy tale called "The Dragon Slayer".
"Of course," Greya said, "I don't need to show it. Watching a drama can help me relax my eyes. "
"The princess killed a dragon, dismembered it, and made it into a potion. Then she transformed into a new dragon and attacked the hero who came to save her. Are you sure this story can help you relax your eyes? "Angor was doubtful.
"Of course." Greya nodded confidently. "The only thing that makes my eyes tired is that the princess was so clumsy when cooking the dragon's organs. You didn't handle the details of the illusion well."
"… The princess isn't a chef."
"But I am." Greya started nagging again. A creator should consider the audience's needs.
Angor felt his veins bulging on his forehead. Fortunately, Asaz handed him the notebook that recorded Toby's condition, which calmed him down a little.
Angor focused on reading the book. Toby had gone through 80 trials in the past two weeks, and none of them were complete.
However, Asaz showed Toby's mood curve and how long it took him to face the grudge.
Toby was now able to hold on for more than ten minutes, and from the 70th to the 80th time, he was able to hold on for a longer period of time. When Toby told Angor that he could defeat the grudge, it was already the 70th trial.
And when he reached the 80th trial, he could hold on for more than half an hour.
Toby's ability to face the grudge for more than half an hour meant that he had improved a lot.
Maybe Toby was right. These were the only trials Toby could defeat the grudge.
"How's Toby now?" Angor asked.
Azaz said, "Based on past experience and how well the Seething Tune of Fate works, Toby should be facing the Thought of Extreme Resentment now, and half an hour has passed."
Angor nodded. Toby was probably going to wake up soon.
As soon as Asaz finished, Shirley, who was still inside the Tune of Fate, let out a long sigh of relief. She walked out of the magic array and gestured at Asaz before sitting down to rest.
"She said that Toby's mood has receded, and he should wake up soon." After Aziz finished speaking, he looked at the exhausted Shirley and thought for a moment before adding, "Shirley hasn't rested for 10 consecutive days."
Angor nodded. "I see."
Shali was a stubborn girl, but she had been doing a good job lately. Angor had been paying attention to her attitude.
Angor thought about the item he made for Shirley. She should be happy with it.
A few minutes later, Toby slowly woke up.
Previously, Toby would always go into a trance whenever he woke up, which was caused by the difference between Komos' dreams and reality. But now, Toby seemed to have overcome the difference between dream and reality. After waking up, he flew out of the magical array without stopping.
Angor was both happy and sad to see this. He was glad that Toby was able to get rid of the difference between Komos' dreams so quickly, which meant that Toby's fear of the grudge was decreasing day by day.
But when he thought about how many times Toby had to die in the House of Mind to become so familiar with the grudge, Angor felt a little sad.
Angor calmed himself down and focused on Toby again.
When Toby saw Angor coming out of the magic array, his eyes brightened up. He quickly landed on Angor's shoulder and rubbed against it for a while before he calmed down.
"How did it go this time?" Greya asked impatiently.
