Chapter 535: Dream Whelks Whereabouts

The aftereffect for using the Potion of Impedance finally went away after two days.

Angor spent most of his resting time talking with Toby. He had too many questions about Fury Griffin. And besides, there were many matters regarding Greya he needed to explain.

It seemed form-s.h.i.+fting into Fury Griffin was a new ability Toby acquired after defeating and devouring his wrath. Angor had never heard about griffins before. He learned from Toby that a griffin was naturally favored by natural elements and was always born as a supernatural monster without the need of going through training and cultivation.

Griffins were further divided into different types depending on the nature of the energy they could use, such as Flame Griffins, Grim Griffins, Thunder Griffins, and so on.

Their names were not invented by people. Rather, when a monster gained its own intelligence, it would usually come up with its own name like how Erdus did. And when the monster grew powerful enough to affect the very world around it, its name would then become a sign that displayed its strength across different realms.

For instance, different Flame Griffins might get themselves various names such as Sphinx or Odipus.

But Toby did not have such a privilege. His new ability didnt make him a real griffin, and he was still the tiny seabird called Toby.

Also, using his new ability would cost a lot of energy, and so, Toby would turn back once his energy ran out. In his current top condition, Toby a.s.sumed that he could stay in his griffin form for half an hour before he had to cool down.

Still, the ability would grant him the same power as a half-step wizard-level monster during its duration.

Now, Toby was strong enough to confront some of the mightiest apprentices without using the sequence of gravity. And if he chose to use gravity power, he might even be able to fight against certain wizards in the future.

Next, Toby explained that a Fury Griffin possessed superior physical strength and a skill for commanding fire elements and wrath.

Angor told Toby to do a small test, in which Toby filled Angors mind with wrath.

Angor found himself unable to do anything besides aimlessly venting out the unknown rage that occupied his mind.

Angor could do something similar by using his illusions or nightmare energy, while Toby could manipulate someones emotion by nature.

Even so, the power might not always be a proper tool to use since wrath could also boost ones strength in certain situations.

Angor concluded that Toby had grown terrifyingly stronger compared to before. In fact, he was sure he would get beaten down pretty fast if they were to spar again.

After learning about Tobys amazing skills, Angor quickly made up a series of battle plans, which would allow them to surprise their enemies through teamwork.

Angor believed that if he had Toby to help earlier in the Sea of Purification, they could totally maim that giant monster called October instead of running.

Meanwhile, Angor described his journey during Tobys absence, and Toby was very glad to hear about Angors experience in Dark Castle.

Angor simply displayed what he went through inside Dark Castle using illusions, including his interactions with Felicia and Greya.

Even though she was in a different body now, Toby still seemed greatly relieved when he saw that Greya was safe.

Time quickly pa.s.sed by as Toby enjoyed Angors movie.

When the side-effect in Angors body completely vanished, he began to make plans for the near future. First, he would like to go to Shadow and ask for help searching for Hookd.i.c.k. It would be best if he could get rid of Hookd.i.c.k before leaving Floating Mech City. Otherwise, it would be harder once they were back at Brute Cavern because Ness would be there to look after Hookd.i.c.k.

But before all this, Angor reached for his bracelet and freed Freud from the Soul Floret.

After getting nourished by the flower, Freuds soul was in a better condition than before. The remaining dark energy that suggested a fallen soul had disappeared from around him.

Freud floated to the balcony and quietly gazed at the city area in the distance before he returned to Angor.

I made the right choice by asking for your help. Congratulations.

Freud looked down in sadness. His body, along with his old self, would remain in the Sea of Purification forever. And since the Sea of Purification was no more

He could no longer find a purpose for his life.

I fulfilled my promise, said Angor.

Freud already knew what Angor wanted to say. Of course, Ill see to my end of the deal. Ive placed the Dream Whelk somewhere absolutely safe, but its not at Fey Continentits at Land of Revelation. I think that place is safe since most of the residents there are mortals.

Land of Revelation Versailles Princ.i.p.ality Angor quickly remembered another relevant name.

Oh yes, the empire commands 19 princ.i.p.alities, and one of them is called Versailles. Its a really small place though, and I think theyre famous for their sweet flowers. Are you from Land of Revelation, Mister Padt?

No, but I have a friend who came from there. Angor thought about a certain boy called Sailum who was always proud of his home.

I see. I thought we came from the same land. Truth is, I didnt hide the whelk in Versailles. Its back at my home, the Suzerain Princ.i.p.ality, which is also one of the 19 divisions.

So, you dont have it right now? Angor narrowed his eyes.

Freud grew panicked a little for he a.s.sumed Angor was angry. I-I can take you there, Mister Padt, or I can draw you a map if you prefer to send someone else to retrieve the item for you.

Angor waved a hand and told Freud that he was simply thinking about the location of Land of Revelation. It was just that his expression looked a little too serious.

He was going to return to Old Earth later this year. Perhaps he could pay a visit to Land of Revelation along the way. He thought that the detour wouldnt occupy much of his time since Sailum was there on Sunders cloud whale, which meant the Land of Revelation was not that far away.

Have you heard of Old Earth? Angor asked.

Freud slowly shook his head.

What about Marginalized Island?

Oh yes, its a tiny place to the south of the Whalebone Sea. There are many traders from Central Empire who would go collect merchandise over there.

Tiny place?!

Angor just realized that his old home was more un-famous than he expected. Although it couldnt be helped. This world was HUGE, which was what he had been learning in the last few years.

Ahem, is that tiny place far from Land of Revelation?

Land of Revelation is to the north of the Whalebone Sea. I think the traders I mentioned need about two months to travel to Marginalized Island by sea.

Angor considered the speed of common s.h.i.+ps and a.s.sumed that his Gondola could cover the distance in a few days.

Are we going to pa.s.s through Land of Revelation if we travel from Fey Continent to Marginalized Island?

It depends on which port you leave from.

Um how about Twilight Harbor?

You mean the seaport in the Goman Kingdom, Mister Padt? That will take you pretty close to Land of Revelation. But you have to enter Devils Water.

Its fine. Im not going to get into the water anyway, Angor said and nodded. Ill go to Marginalized Island later this year, and while at it, Ill check out Land of Revelation. If I find Dream Whelk, Ill set you free.

Freud looked down and nodded. He was in no place to protest right now.

Well, I dont mean to treat you as a prisoner or something, Angor said. He glanced at the Soul Floret, which was already withering, and said, Ill make something proper for you to stay inside in the meantime.

Thank you, Mister Padt, Freud said and bowed.

Do you have anything left to do at Fey Continent? Angor thought about asking which organization Freud came from, but decided not to, as it might cause misunderstandings.

I came from Tower of Hurricane, Freud said as he had decided to let him know. Dont worry, I dont have any possessions left behind. To those wizards, the death of an apprentice is like a pa.s.sing cloud. They wont even mention my name again.

Freud said that to rea.s.sure Angor that he didnt need to worry about people from Tower of Hurricane. A dead elite apprentice didnt mean much to them.

Alright. You can stay in the flower until I craft that new item I mentioned. And do tell me, if you have something to ask. Dont be shy.
