Many other wizards shared Lawson's opinion. It was a miracle that Angor was able to escape from the illusion and reach the Altar of Demise.
It would be understandable if he had the help of a wizard. But they all saw that no wizard entered the purification garden during this time. In other words, Angor escaped on his own.
What kind of method did he use to do that?
Perhaps Sunders gave Angor some kind of treasure that allowed him to escape from the illusion and reach the Altar of Demise before the time limit was up. If that was the case, Sunders wouldn't have to worry about Angor's safety in the first place.
There were many guesses, but no one guessed correctly. What they didn't know was that Angor's group only took five minutes to reach the Altar of Demise.
Back at the Altar of Demise, Angor drove Jebra to the other side and floated above the golden area.
Not far ahead of them was the expanding law of purification.
He didn't check the law of purification right away. Instead, he stroked the griffin's mane and said, "Thanks, Toby!" Toby nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, the griffin he was sitting on was actually a seabird the size of a palm — "Toby".
Five minutes ago, Angor was still wondering what to do when Toby woke up. Feeling guilty, Angor took Toby out of his bracelet and told the bird that he needed to fly to the Altar of Demise to save his life.
But to his surprise, Toby suddenly transformed into a giant "griffin". Toby gestured for everyone to get on his back. Then, he flapped his wings and flew toward the Altar of Demise with the power of gravity.
Angor was also surprised to see such a big change in Toby, who had been sleeping for almost half a year. Moreover, Toby's speed didn't seem to be affected by the change at all. Instead, it became even faster. When it came to manipulating the sequence of gravity, it was much better than someone like Angor, who only learned it halfway.
With the help of "Toby", the group finally made it to the Altar of Demise at the last moment.
Besides, with Toby's speed, the robbers surrounding the Altar of Destiny had already been left behind by Toby before they could even block his path. From this, one could see how fast it was.
After settling down at the Altar of Demise, Keely and the others were observing the light that represented the Law of Purification, hoping that they would be able to comprehend it soon. But he didn't have time to think about it. He didn't even care about the difference between the ground and the air. Instead, he quickly contacted Toby.
Why did Toby transform like this? Could it be that the reason he was unconscious during this period of time was to accumulate strength for the transformation? He had no idea what was going on.
Toby didn't answer right away. Instead, it flapped its wings and landed on the ground.
It landed in the golden region.
The landing of the 'monster' caused an uproar among the acolytes. Why did it choose to stay on the ground instead of staying in the sky?
However, everyone changed their minds. The 'monster' and the people on its back had already proven their strength. Even Jebra had to stay away from them. Now that everyone knew how strong they were, they didn't have to stay in the sky. It didn't make any difference whether they stayed on the ground or in the sky.
On the ground, they could still see what they looked like. After all, they still didn't know who these people were.
Toby put down the acolytes on its back and quickly shrank into a palm-sized gray bird. It then landed on Angor's shoulder and rubbed its head against Angor's cheek.
Angor was a little excited to see this familiar face.
"Looks like nothing changed after sleeping for so long." Angor chuckled. A few days ago, he saw Toby growing a little bigger and showing some reddish-brown feathers. He thought the bird would change again, but it turned out that Toby returned to its original appearance, which was gray and dull. It wasn't as pretty as the reddish-brown feathers, but Angor felt more familiar with it.
Toby chirped and quickly took out a black outfit similar to Angor's from Snowy Feather.
Angor helped Toby put it on, and Toby's shy look immediately turned into pride as if the outfit was its real body.
"Thank you so much, Toby. Without you, we would've died for real." Nausica walked to Angor and patted Toby's head with a smile.
Toby knew Nausica, so it didn't reject her touch. It even rubbed its head against Nausica's head.
The others, on the other hand, were curious about Toby's identity. The "Griffon" looked so cool, and it was so fast. It even slapped Deira away. Toby could both ride and fight. It was the perfect pet!
"Angor, this bird is —" Shan moved closer and tried to touch Toby like Nausica.
However, Toby didn't care at all. It turned its head away and looked at Shan from the corner of its eyes.
Angor couldn't help but chuckle at Toby's reaction. Then he introduced him to Shan, "This is Toby, my dear friend."
Both Keely and Shiliew stepped forward to thank Toby. They also wanted to ask about Toby's "transformation", but since it was a personal secret, they decided not to ask.
After introducing Toby, he asked Toby the same question again in a low voice.
Toby began to explain what happened to him while making some "cawing" noises and gesticulating.
As Angor listened to Toby's story, the other apprentices also began to recognize the newcomer.
"Mister Phantom's student? No wonder he could scare Jebra. And here I thought he didn't come to the purification garden! "
"I heard from others that His Excellency Phantom Demon's new disciple is someone who only knows how to brag and doesn't have much ability … I didn't expect the truth to be the opposite," someone lamented.
Angor's reputation had become the hottest topic recently because of Sky of Truth and Sunders' "kidnapping" in front of Elixir Hut.
Apart from the wizards who knew Mithra well enough to recognize Angor's alchemy ability, the other apprentices who didn't know much about Angor's alchemy skills and liked to gossip all took Angor's "alchemy ability" as a joke. No one believed that Angor had ever touched a Mystery item before.
Some of them, who were jealous of Angor's talent, tried to smear Angor's reputation while spreading the news. In the end, Angor became a notorious liar in the eyes of the apprentices. However, there was also a "lucky" prefix in front of "liar". Together, they were called "lucky liars".
In their eyes, Angor did not become Sunders' student because of his "good luck" and not because of his talent.
Of course, if someone thought about it carefully, they would find the flaws in these rumors. "Good luck"? Sunders wasn't blind. He didn't choose apprentices through a lottery system, did he?
Still, there were plenty of apprentices who were willing to be blind. After all, no one wanted to hear "someone stronger than you, someone more talented than you, someone more potential than you". Lies were always the most tempting words.
"Hmph. I don't see how strong he is," someone retorted. "Yes, he's Angor, but he's not the one who forced Jebra to stay away from us, is he? Didn't you see Mister Eventide's apprentice riding on that monster's back? "
This person was only half right. It wasn't Angor or Keely who scared Jebra. It was Shiliew, whom they ignored. But Shiliew wasn't that famous, so it was normal that no one knew who she was. As for Shan and Nausica, they were only level-1 apprentices. How strong could a little girl be? He was probably a pig-like teammate who won without doing anything.
"Look at that bird. Who's it trying to get close to? It can slap Draa away. Can you do the same? "
"A familiar can't be counted as its master's strength. Maybe Mister Phantom gave it to Angor as a gift?"
Even if Angor really proved his strength, as long as he wasn't the unlucky one, he could come up with thousands of excuses to prove Angor's strength.
However, there weren't many stubborn people like that. Most of the people who survived were elites. Angor's arrival and performance had convinced them to admit Angor's strength even if they didn't want to.
Alan, who was still in the gray area, was also very excited. He grinned at Loki. "Great! Angor really made it!"
Loki also looked happy. Angor once saved them from the Lord of Tentacles, so he was happy that Angor made it in time.
Only Falca, who was standing beside them, had a gloomy look on his face.
"Angor really made it in time …" Falca's good mood instantly sank to the bottom. More importantly, not only did Angor make it in time, but he also chased Jebra away!
Not long ago, Angor was defeated by Jebra's whale in one move. This was simply a contrast of two extremes!
Was Angor really stronger than Jebra?
Falca felt as if someone was slapping his face right in front of him. He planned to use Angor as an example to argue with Taurus, but it seemed he had no other choice now.
Falca sighed deeply in his mind.
…
From Toby, Angor got the general idea.
Toby told Angor everything that happened while he was unconscious.
First of all, he had to fight against his anger. Both Greya and Isabelle told him how dangerous it was, and he would not tell anyone about it. Now that Toby woke up, it meant that he had devoured Wrath and became the only winner of the battle.
Also, the reason why Toby could transform was related to the emotion of extreme anger.
After devouring Wrath, Toby could basically sense what was going on around him. He should have woken up at this time, but he received information about something similar to a Bloodline talent.
Turning into a "Griffin" was an indication of this Bloodline talent. However, Toby's real name wasn't "Flame Griffin" like Muse said. It was "Fury Griffin".
