It was a man whose hood had been removed. He looked like a high-spirited young man who paid great attention to his image. Even after being crushed by Toby so many times, his slicked-back hair was still neat and tidy.
However, the man who cared so much about his image was now wearing a look of despair.
His legs were trembling, and so were his hands. Even the unknown alchemy weapon he was holding did not give him any sense of security, let alone intimidate Toby.
He was like a frightened cat, whose fur stood on end while waving his sharp claws. However, he did not even have the courage to fight back against Toby's increasing aura. Instead, he kept backing away in fear.
Toby stared at him with his red eyes for a moment before looking away.
It did not do anything to the man, not because it was soft-hearted, but because it knew that the man was basically useless. When fear was deeply ingrained in one's heart, it would be impossible to get rid of it unless the man's inner shell was replaced. Otherwise, he would never be able to make any progress in the future. He might not even be able to maintain his current strength.
Toby did not want to deal with a half-crippled man like this.
Toby did not feel satisfied after performing different emotional amplification tests on the two men. So, he turned his attention to the one who was running away.
When Toby's crimson eyes locked onto the Abyss Worshippers, they felt their hearts skip a beat. Recalling the painful memories of being crushed by Toby, they began to lose control of their emotions once again.
Toby did not move immediately. Instead, he observed the crowd with his eyes. While exerting pressure on them, he was also quietly sensing their emotions.
Toby's ability to control people's emotions was undetectable, so there was no way to guard against it.
Angor's group, on the other hand, seemed to have figured out Toby's intention.
"That man is basically useless now. His eyes have completely changed," said Sunders as he looked at the man whose fear was amplified. Sunders looked at the man whose fear was magnified. Toby had already ignored him, but the man was still too scared to move.
"He can't make any progress in the future, and he'll be trapped in this nightmare forever." Greya spoke slowly. She observed Toby carefully and said, "Even if he's feeling fear, it shouldn't have been planted in his heart so quickly. Is this Toby's ability?"
"We can't be sure yet, but emotions can't be magnified for no reason. Toby must have done something." Sunders' eyes glinted. If Toby could really control someone's emotions to cripple them, it would be an incredible feat.
On the other hand, the people from Abstruse Alchemy Union were starting to feel scared under the pressure from Toby.
Hayley also noticed this. If they were all afraid, then even if they found a weakness, they might not be able to organize an effective attack.
What should he do now? Was he really going to give up just like that? Haley gritted her teeth, unwilling to give up.
While Hayley's mood was changing, Toby noticed that some people were under pressure. The fire in his heart burned again, and his eyes lit up.
When the fire in his heart was reignited, he could control his emotions. This was also its goal. On the emotional level, it was silently pushing them into the abyss.
Toby's gaze landed on an old man who was slowly retreating. He seemed to be on the verge of escaping alone.
His eyes were very agitated and he stared at Hayley fiercely. He was very unhappy that Haley didn't order them to leave.
Toby tried to manipulate the man's anger.
However, the result was unexpected.
It failed.
The old man's anger didn't come from Toby, but from Hayley.
Toby could only control his emotions because of Toby. Toby couldn't control the old man's anger, but he could control the old man's fear.
However, the old man's fear didn't reach the level where he could cripple Toby like before.
Perhaps it was because he thought that he could escape and had a way out. So, the sense of fear was reduced?
No matter what the answer was, Toby's control over the old man's emotions didn't work very well. Toby felt a little disappointed. He thought he could easily kill someone in secret, but it didn't seem so easy now.
While Toby was sighing, Haley's eyes were fixed on Toby. Her eyes sparkled as if she had discovered something.
After a short while, Toby swept his gaze across everyone, and just as Hayley was about to burst into flames, she suddenly felt as if her mind had been struck by lightning, and a figure appeared in her mind.
It was the serpent bird's cold vertical eye.
"Its eyes!" Hayley suddenly yelled, "Its weakness is its eyes!"
Hayley's voice caught everyone's attention. Hayley did not have the time to explain how she had identified its eyes as its weakness. She quickly said, "Make its eyes the first target of attack. As long as we can erase its eyes, everything will be solved. That includes … the emotions that are controlled in our hearts. "
Apparently, Haley also noticed that her emotions were being controlled by something.
If Hayley's words came a little later, the others would probably not listen to her. Toby was giving them too much pressure. The old man wasn't the only one who wanted to escape. Everyone had their own plans.
However, Hayley was an officiant, and she already pointed out the snake's weakness, so they decided to try again.
Seeing Hayley's confident look, everyone felt encouraged. As if they were going through a ritual, they took out their discs again. Some of them even began to drink their potions.
To hunt such a powerful monster, they had to use all kinds of items. Even if they lost some now, they could recoup their losses after the hunt was over, and the rewards would be multiplied!
Everyone gradually regained their confidence. Just when everyone was ready to fight again, Toby hissed and flicked its forked tongue —
In the next second, behind the crowd, the old man let out a blood-curdling scream, and instantly fell silent.
They turned around in confusion, only to find that behind them, which should have been empty, there was now a terrifying behemoth.
It was swaying its head, flicking its red forked tongue, and releasing a terrifying pressure.
It was the serpent bird they were about to fight!
But why? Why did it suddenly appear here?
They were still far away from them. Even if the serpent flew at full speed, they should have noticed it. But why was it able to appear here out of nowhere?
It couldn't be teleportation! In this chaotic void, it was possible to open a space fissure and return to Floating Mech City. But teleporting through the void was impossible.
There was only one possibility.
Speed!
Unbelievably fast!
In the next second, Toby's figure disappeared again and reappeared behind another person. With another powerful tail swing, another person screamed and fell into the depths of the void.
Since everyone was staring at Toby, they could clearly see that the serpent was really fast!
It was almost as fast as teleportation!
When he understood this, endless despair instantly attacked him.
An impenetrable defense coupled with unstoppable speed. Even if they found the snake's weakness, could they really kill it?
