The message from the Abstruse Alchemy Guild lightened the atmosphere in the hall. Angor and Greya decided to talk about Abstruse Alchemy Guild instead of worrying about Toby's death tomorrow.
However, as the clock ticked away, Greya began to feel uneasy again.
She tried to think of a way to help Toby's breakthrough, but she never came up with such an idea in the past few months. Now, she had nothing to show for it.
The clock ticked away at five o 'clock in the morning. People on the continent were still shrouded in darkness, but those in Floating Mech City could already see the light of dawn.
Greya suddenly stood up. "I'm going out for a bit."
Without saying where she was going, Greya turned into a ball of light and disappeared from the hall. Angor sensed that Greya had gone to the main city.
He left the hall and went to the yard.
The courtyard was quiet. Sharee and Azaz weren't there. Only Toby, who was immersed in Fantasy Twins, was there.
While enjoying the fragrance of the soil and flowers, Angor quietly looked at the distant horizon. From a sparse black, to a light gray, and finally, to a faint white.
The process took about two hours. At eight o 'clock in the morning, the sun finally shone on the land.
Greya also came back from outside. Angor noticed that she had a nice scent on her. She usually smelled nice, but it was usually the smell of wine or food. Now, she was giving off a floral scent mixed with pheromones.
"You went to Perfumed Square?" Angor asked curiously.
Greya nodded. "I went to Leona and got a bottle of perfume from her."
Greya flipped her hand and revealed a beautiful fragrance bottle that resembled a woman's curves. The bottle stopper was made of blue velvet, which gave it a gorgeous design. It was also shimmering with faint starlight.
Unlike the cork, however, the perfume inside the bottle was a transparent liquid that looked like clear water. Only a few sparkling light spots could be seen.
"This is Golden Oak Water."
Golden Oak Water could help people focus their mind and make them more focused. However, there was something special about the Golden Oak Water. Although it was said to be fragrant, when it was used to disperse the smell, it would not produce any smell. It was even purer than water.
The odorless fragrance was also a refreshing stream, and was quite popular among male Magi.
Greya chuckled in self-mockery. "I think I've lost my mind. I can make something similar, but I still chose this one."
Greya was worried that even the slightest scent in the air would distract Toby. As for the Golden Oak Water, although it was expensive, it would not emit any smell.
As a matter of fact, he didn't really care if he used the Golden Oak Water or not. For someone as powerful as Toby, a little bit of extra focus was not a big deal.
But he did not point it out. Perhaps Greya was not only using the Golden Oak Water for Toby. She was also trying to find a way to soothe her troubled mind.
When the golden sunlight illuminated the dewdrops on the flowers and plants in the courtyard, Toby flapped his wings and flew out of the Fantasy Twins.
Toby circled in the air several times and made a song that sounded like music. But it also sounded a bit like crying and howling. Then, Toby slowly landed in front of them.
Judging from Toby's loud voice, Greya was sure that the bird had fully recovered. Still, Greya was still worried. She kept asking questions until she realized that her constant questions were putting pressure on Toby's mind, so she quickly stopped.
Toby did not understand Greya's complicated thoughts. When Greya stopped asking questions, Toby chirped a few more times, which meant that he was ready to face the calamity.
"Are you sure you're ready?" Angor looked at Toby, who nodded solemnly.
Looking at Toby's confident and determined eyes, Angor nodded. "Then … let's begin."
They were not going to face the calamity right away. Angor needed to make some preparations first.
With a thought, a strange door appeared in front of Angor without any hesitation.
Toby's battle would take place inside Toby's mind space, but no one could be sure if something unexpected would happen along the way. To be safe, they did not plan to let Toby face the calamity in Floating Mech City.
Going through the door was like going through a layer of crystal wall. When they reached the other side of the door, they saw an empty space without any source of light.
"Let's do it here," Angor said. Facing the tribulation in the void could avoid detection to a large extent, and it would not cause any damage to the environment or external objects. More importantly, Toby's battle against Grudge in the Room of Mind was in an empty space. It was only a simulated illusion, and there was still a difference between the real battle and the real battle. Still, Toby would feel more relaxed in such an environment.
Toby nodded at Angor and Greya and flew away without hesitation. Soon, Toby's figure disappeared from sight. However, Angor and Greya could still see his location through the energy traces.
Toby found a secluded place and stopped. He closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
About half a minute later, ripples suddenly appeared from Toby's body. As the ripples spread, a cloud of black mist slowly rose from his body and completely covered his body.
Seeing this, Angor's expression slowly turned serious. He knew Toby was trying to sense the seal inside him.
Once Toby broke through the seal Froste had placed on him, it would signify the beginning of the Tribulation.
Time ticked by. After an unknown amount of time, they suddenly heard a small noise coming from the black mist.
It was low at first, but it slowly became shrill and louder. In the end, an unprecedentedly terrifying sound wave spread out from the black mist along with the turbulent air current.
"Roar!" The ear-piercing sound reached Angor and Greya's ears.
They couldn't see the specific situation inside the black fog, but they could vaguely see that there seemed to be the silhouette of a huge creature inside … Yes, it was a creature.
The turbulent air current was pushed to their side like a tidal wave.
Venomous, disgusting, envious, violent … The air current carried all kinds of negative feelings, emotions, and senses.
When they sensed the air current, they knew what was going on.
At this moment, Toby had already broken the seal.
