Hayley's sharp claws had almost reached Toby's eyes.
Hayley was prepared to kill the snakebird at any cost. When she saw the black mist, she didn't try to dodge. Instead, she tried to break through it.
But in the end, she was forced to stop.
The black mist exhaled from Toby's mouth seemed to possess the eyes of the legendary Gorgon. When Hayley's body came into contact with the black mist, she could see with her naked eye that her hand was covered in a layer of stone.
"Petrification poison?!" When Hayley realized what was happening, she couldn't move her hand. Furthermore, the stone shell on his hand was still spreading all over his body.
Hayley's eyes flashed with anger, hatred, and despair.
If her attack was blocked, or if it was blocked openly, she could accept it.
Why did it have to be petrification?
Petrification wasn't a difficult poison to detoxify, but if she missed this opportunity, it would be impossible to find another one.
As expected, Toby raised his head high into the air after spitting out the black mist. Even though he didn't retreat, Hayley had already witnessed just how powerful his physical defenses were. Even the combined attacks of all of them were unable to break through his defenses, so there was no way that she would be able to do so on her own. The only way to defeat this Snakebird was to hit its eyes, but at this time, its head was raised, and its vigilance was online. It was almost impossible to launch a sneak attack in this situation.
She couldn't beat it in a frontal attack. How could Hayley not feel despair?
Toby's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Hayley couldn't move at all under the influence of his murderous intent. She didn't even have time to detoxify the poison in her body.
Just when Hayley thought she couldn't escape, there was a sudden movement in the distance.
Toby couldn't help but look in that direction. Hayley's eyes lit up. This was an opportunity!
Of course, it wasn't an opportunity to attack. If she wanted to deal with Toby, she needed a complete plan and tools. She didn't have any of those at the moment.
Therefore, running away now was the best option.
No matter how unwilling Hayley was, she had to return to reality. She knew her emotions weren't right. She also knew that her defenses had been broken. Any counterattack now would be like a trapped beast going crazy for the last time.
As a sorcerer, she had to regain the rationality that a sorcerer should have.
Hayley didn't pay attention to what the Snakebird saw. She didn't even try to dispel the petrification poison that had spread to half of her body. Instead, she used her other hand that wasn't petrified to retrieve a golden magic scroll from her space.
Toby sensed the strange aura coming from the magic scroll. Just as he was about to lower his head to check it out, Hayley tore it open without hesitation.
The surrounding spatial energy became chaotic and turned into a crack that looked like a hole!
However, the hole was twisting crazily and looked unstable.
That was to be expected. The signs of Toby's advancement were still there, and the energy around him was chaotic. Hayley had used the magic scroll to open a plane passageway, and the space around him was unstable.
If they were to escape into a plane passageway, they would have a high chance of getting into trouble. This was because the plane passageway was very likely to collapse due to the instability of space.
But Haley couldn't care less. This was the only escape plan she could think of. Therefore, she rushed in without hesitation.
Her luck and courage were not bad. When she crawled into the crack, the twisting hole of varying sizes just happened to let her pass through safely.
The dimensional passageway only existed for a short period of time. As soon as Hayley entered, the passageway began to vanish. Toby had enough time to go in, but it was too dangerous. Before Toby could do anything, Greya called him to stop.
"Stop!" Greya's order not only stopped Toby, but also attracted Hayley's attention.
Just as the crack was about to close, Haley turned her head to look outside.
Then, her pupils constricted.
She saw a woman who looked familiar. But it wasn't the woman who surprised Hayley the most. It was the man beside her.
Is that Angor?
The crack closed in a timely manner. Hayley sank into her thoughts. She didn't have anything to do with Angor. She only heard that Angor and Misaro were at loggerheads.
Hayley was glad to hear that. She didn't like Misaro, even though they were both deacons of Abstruse Alchemy Guild.
But now, it seemed that Angor and the woman were on the same side as the Snakebird.
Did they have something to do with each other? Hayley couldn't figure it out. But at least she had a target now. If she wanted to get revenge on the Snakebird, she could try to find Angor first.
Of course, this was only Hayley's dream. It wouldn't come true anytime soon.
But now, she had another problem to deal with. Hayley turned around and looked at the plane passageway. It looked peaceful, but she could hear some vibrations coming from afar.
It was probably a sign of space collapse.
If she wanted to deal with the Snakebird one day, she had to get out of the plane passageway. This could be a bitter battle that was not inferior to the previous one.
Hayley exhaled deeply and decided to get rid of the petrifying poison first. Then she would face her unpredictable fate.
…
While Hayley was struggling to survive in the plane passageway, Toby, who had turned into an insignificant little bird, was now rubbing its head against Angor's neck in a pitiful manner.
When it was done, Toby hopped onto Angor's hand under everyone's watchful eyes. It seemed that Toby was going to tell Angor his grievances.
However, there was one more thing Toby needed to do before he could complain.
He lowered his head shyly and quickly took out a red cloak from Snowy Feather and tied it around his neck. Due to the chaotic energy flow, the little cloak was fluttering in the wind.
The red cloak was like Toby's loincloth. When he heard the sound of the cloak, he felt the cloak fluttering in the wind. His bashful temperament instantly changed. He was like a knight in armor on the battlefield, awe-inspiring.
Toby was very satisfied with his new look. After admiring his new look for a while, he realized that it was time for him to complain.
Toby quickly blinked his beady eyes and showed a sad expression.
Before Toby could say anything, Greya waved a hand and said, "Let's go back first. It's not safe here."
Angor agreed with Greya's suggestion. There was no one in the void, but he was still worried about those gazes that came from far away.
No one knew if there was a mighty figure watching them from the depths of the void.
To avoid such problems, it was better to leave this place first.
