From beginning to end, Toby described his bravery and fearlessness.
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He even forgot about his sad look.
Still, both Angor and Greya listened carefully. Toby never told anyone about his experience in the Room of Heart.
Although Toby might have exaggerated a little when he told the story, it wasn't hard to tell how dangerous this calamity was from his description.
There were layers upon layers of traps, waves upon waves of undercurrents, and the harassment of all kinds of monsters. Greya sighed. If Angor did not use the "Trial of Bright Dreams", Toby would not even have a 1% success rate.
Toby spent half an hour describing his heroic deeds. Finally, when he reached the end of his trial, his proud look turned into a sad one.
"… Ji, ji, ji, ji!" I've already reached the final stage, and I could easily defeat the Grudge Spirit. I've practiced countless times. But that unknown monster beat me to it!
Toby jumped from Angor's shoulder to the table and paced back and forth on it. His eyes were filled with rage.
"That's why you're so angry?" Greya asked after a while.
Toby nodded again.
Greya was speechless. You're focusing on the wrong thing! You should be more concerned about the identity of the being that was talking to you, not the fact that it stole your first drop of blood!
Greya was complaining in her mind, but when she saw Toby's sad look, she still tried to comfort him.
"Think about it from another perspective. It's a good thing that someone is helping you. At least you can save a lot of effort."
Toby was unhappy when he heard that. He grumbled that he didn't want help, he wanted to do it himself!
Greya sighed. She knew Toby cared more about the ritual than the result. She used to ask for help like this when she was young. But as she grew more experienced, she only cared about the result. The process was not so important.
Which was more important? The ritual or the result? It was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong.
Greya really wanted to share her thoughts with Toby, but she didn't think Toby was going to listen to her long speech. She had no choice but to look at Angor.
As a young man, Angor understood Toby's feelings better.
Angor smiled and patted Toby's head. The warm touch and the comfort of the feather soothed Toby's heart, allowing him to slowly calm down.
Seeing that Toby was no longer angry, Angor spoke again.
"You said that the thing that killed Grudge Spirit probably did it to piss you off. If you get angry, you'll fall into its trap." Toby nodded. "You don't need to worry too much about it, do you?" Toby nodded. "That's right.
Toby rolled his eyes. That seemed to be the case.
"If you're really angry, why don't you use the same emotion you used to defeat the Grudge Spirit the next time you see it? When you're done, it'll be your turn to taunt it. "
Toby nodded, waved his wings, and waved his fists as if he could already see his "destined enemy". His punches caused ripples in the air.
Both Angor and Greya were still worried. They looked at each other and saw the serious look in each other's eyes.
Now that they were done talking about Toby's grievances, it was time to get down to business.
What was the creature the Grudge Spirit was trying to summon?
Angor said, "Based on my calculations, when Toby ran into it, we sensed the strange emotion."
"That heavy and complicated emotion did not come from the Grudge Disaster or the Wrath Disaster." Greya looked serious. "So we're right? Is it a sign of a new disaster?"
Considering all the circumstances, it was very likely that Toby was facing a new disaster.
According to Toby, the Grudge Spirit had reached the end of its road, so it summoned a vortex and hoped that the entity behind it would help it fight Toby. "If it disappears, you'll be next!" The Grudgeful Will kept yelling back then. "If it disappears, you'll be next!"
From this sentence, there were already some clues. If the Grudge Spirit disappeared, what would be the "next" that appeared in Toby's mind?
Without a doubt, it would be an existence on the same level as the Grudge Spirit. It was also a new disaster.
There was also one more thing that could prove that all the "vortexes" summoned by the Will of Utmost Resentment, including the monsters that had blocked Toby's way, were actually reflections of a certain part of Toby's body. They were a kind of materialized projection.
In other words, the entity behind the vortexes had to be hiding somewhere inside Toby's body or blood.
The fact that the entity could defeat the Grudge Spirit also meant something.
If it existed inside Toby's body and could defeat the Grudge Spirit, it was obvious who it was.
Love, Hatred, and Sorrow. One of the three disasters.
Everything made sense now. Angor and Greya sensed something strange because of this new calamity.
"The Grudge Spirit didn't forget to trick Toby in the end." Greya's eyes glowed. She thought that the next disaster would only appear after a long time. However, the Grudge Spirit's action had messed up everything.
Even if it would take some time for the new disaster to show up, since it already showed up, it meant that it had already announced its arrival to Toby.
It would be fine if Toby didn't know about its existence. But since it already showed up, Toby's peaceful days would soon be over. Toby had to keep strengthening himself and face its existence. Then, one day in the future, he would defeat it just like how he defeated the Grudge Spirit.
In fact, Toby was very against training. But today, when Greya told Toby to keep training and defeat the unknown entity, the toby nodded without hesitation. It was obvious how angry Toby was right now.
It was good that he could turn his anger into motivation to move forward. Greya was glad to hear that.
"By the way, did you see what it looks like?" Angor asked.
Toby already had two avatars: the Griffin of Wrath and the Serpent Bird of Envy. If Angor was not wrong, the entity behind the vortexes should be another avatar that Toby might have in the future.
Both Greya and Sunders were curious about this as well.
Griffin and Serpent Bird were both incredible avatars. What would the new avatar look like?
Toby considered for a moment and shook his head.
He didn't know what the new avatar looked like. The only thing he was sure of was that it had a pure white feather.
This was because the thing that destroyed the extreme resentment and made him feel as if a bone was stuck in his throat was a white feather that flickered with a faint light.
