Warlock Apprentice Chapter 1702: Section 1703 Accumulation Phase

Chapter 1702: Section 1703 Accumulation Phase

By the ti Toby finished recounting its first complete confrontation with the Extre Resentnt Thoughts, Greya finally understood why Angel had said, “Toby’s experience is even worse than facing mortality.”

Because Toby’s first encounter with the Extre Resentnt Thoughts ended in death.

For Toby, the most difficult part was that it simply couldn’t face the torrent of resentnt unleashed by the Extre Resentnt Thoughts. When Toby was being washed over by the waves of resentnt, it was like sitting in a small dinghy, facing monstrous surges.

Unable to save itself, utterly powerless to resist.

Even though it told itself to endure, to resist the temptation of the Extre Resentnt Thoughts, it still failed to do so. In the end, countless streams of resentnt flooded its mind, and in bottomless fear, Toby perished in the Void.

The terror before death, the horrifying sensation of its brain bursting with an overload of chaotic emotions, the panic of impending doom—all of these made Toby shiver uncontrollably even as it recalled the experience now.

Thankfully, it was rely an Illusion Dream. Toby hadn’t truly died, but the feeling of confronting death, of confronting the Extre Resentnt Thoughts, was deeply etched into its heart.

After listening, Greya looked at Toby with boundless sympathy.

The content of Toby’s narrative might seem inconsequential to outsiders, but its hesitant and cowering gaze spoke volus. You had to understand, when she trained Toby, no matter how grueling it was, Toby had never revealed such fearful and dreaded expressions.

And this was just the first ti. Toby was already so afraid. According to Angel’s plan, Toby would still have to go through this hundreds of tis!

Greya couldn’t help but turn to Angel: “Is this really effective? Can the simulated Extre Resentnt Thoughts in the Illusion Dream truly help Toby overco its tribulation?” If it was useless in the end, wouldn’t Toby be suffering those hundreds of tis in vain?

This was Greya’s third ti questioning him, but Angel did not show impatience, because Greya only believed that Toby was battling the simulated Extre Resentnt Thoughts in the Illusion Dream. Every wizard knew well that within an Illusion Dream, even if one becos the Creator God, the Abyssal Demon God, or even the Dominator of the world, it’s all rely illusionary, impossible to carry into reality.

So, Greya’s doubts didn’t surprise Angel. If their roles were reversed, Angel would also have concerns if he were in Greya’s position.

“It works,” Angel responded firmly. To reassure Greya further, he added, “This is the only thod I can think of that might help Toby face its tribulation.”

Angel’s resolute expression reflected in Greya’s sight. She fell silent for a mont before letting out a deep sigh: “Alright, since there are no other options, we’ll go with your thod.”

Greya turned to gently stroke Toby, speaking in a soft whisper, “The difficulty now is only for an easier tomorrow. Just bear with it for a little longer.”

Even though the nightmarish experience in the House of the Heart had left Toby truly terrified, it had already co to terms with the inevitability of facing the Tribulation of Five Flavors.

Without the assistance of the House of the Heart, it might lose when confronting the Extre Resentnt Thoughts… No, it would certainly lose. Its outco today against the Thoughts had ended in death, which symbolized that if Toby faced its tribulation now, it would inevitably et the sa fate: death.

Two paths now lay before Toby. One path appeared smooth, bathed in Sunshine, lined with flowers and greenery, yet the end of the path was a cliff into the Abyss; the other path was shrouded in gray mist, devoid of Sunshine, uneven and filled with potholes of varied sizes and strewn with thorns. It looked perilously treacherous, and even the end of this path seed to lead to the Abyss. However… above the Abyss swung an iron chain in the wind, connecting to the other shore.

Undoubtedly, Toby would choose the second path. Because it yearned for the future, and only the second path allowed a glimpse of it.

Even if the path granted only a glimr of hope.

Thus, Toby resolutely nodded, responding to Greya’s rare mont of tenderness.

Greya smiled faintly, brushing over Toby’s head: “You see things clearly. It seems your experience in that Illusion Dream has indeed given you insight.”

The mont Illusion Dream was ntioned, Toby began to feign disorientation. Greya burst into laughter—it was clear that Toby and Angel had coordinated their story.

Greya shook her head, turning to Angel: “Are you truly unwilling to tell what you’re hiding?”

Angel replied solemnly, “We’re not hiding anything.”

“The Illusion Dream isn’t like your refined theatrical Shadow Box, where you can pause and resu the sa thread later. Moreover, the simulated Extre Resentnt Thoughts in the Illusion Dream—can it really trigger Toby’s heart tribulation?” Greya calmly pointed out flaws in Angel’s supposed plan. “You truly have no intention of explaining?”

The issues Greya raised were ones Angel couldn’t fully address, leaving him only able to respond with silence.

Greya gazed deeply at Angel for a mont: “Fine, I won’t press further. Everyone has secrets, though your secrets exceed what I imagined.”

With that, Greya acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to ask Toby for details regarding its experience with the Extre Resentnt Thoughts, helping it brainstorm approaches to handle the ordeal.

Angel, anwhile, sat quietly to the side, lost in thought.

Should he tell Greya about the Wilderness of Dreams?

Telling her didn’t seem like a problem. After all, they understood each other well, shared mutual secrets, and barring any unexpected changes, they were certainly aligned on the sa front. Additionally, Greya would be staying with Sanders for the foreseeable future, until recovering her body.

Now that Angel had acquired the Ability Tree and fully controlled the Wilderness of Dreams, even publicizing its existence wouldn’t pose a risk of anyone stealing it.

However… after thinking it through, Angel ultimately decided to keep it concealed.

The Wilderness of Dreams could certainly be shared publicly.

But if Greya entered the Wilderness of Dreams, she would undoubtedly investigate Toby’s experintal situations, at which point the House of the Heart would be exposed. Along with it, news of the Dream Conch’s ability to achieve Infinite Alchemy would also surface.

“Infinite Alchemy” was far more earth-shaking than rely airing the existence of the Wilderness of Dreams.

Angel understood well that once the Wilderness of Dreams was publicized, external entrants would inevitably uncover the secret of Infinite Alchemy. While Angel didn’t intend to keep the secret forever, he lacked the strength to control the fallout from revealing this news at the mont.

Though Greya might not betray them over Infinite Alchemy, Angel chose to err on the side of caution and continue withholding the truth for now.

While Infinite Alchemy couldn’t be talked about yet, after Toby’s matter was resolved, he could consider giving Greya a hint about the Wilderness of Dreams.

…

Greya gradually gained an understanding of Toby’s general situation, as well as the process and outco of Angel’s plan.

The experint for Destiny’s Boiling Tune had now succeeded. Next, Toby needed to continuously face the Extre Resentnt Thoughts, accumulating experience and finding counterasures.

On this front, Angel could hardly provide any further help.

Ultimately, the responsibility shifted to Greya and Sharley to handle, especially Sharley, who had remarkable expertise in managing emotions. Her thods might prove beneficial to Toby.

And so, the next phase entered a cycle of trial and accumulation.

Toby would return to the House of the Heart to gather experience. Each ti it erged, it would report its findings to Sharley and Greya, and together, they would strategize ways to counter the assaults of the Extre Resentnt Thoughts.

Initially, Angel stayed on hand to protect Toby, but he quickly realized that Sharley, through “Destiny’s Boiling Tune,” could completely stabilize Toby’s surging emotions, ensuring no threat of harm. Given this, his constant watch was no longer necessary. Thus, he handed all the Demon Flower Sprite Demon Blood Stones over to Sharley, relinquishing control and letting her lead independently.
