Chapter 1736 Torrents and Vortexes <TOC> Chapter 1738 True Visage
Translator: SumTLMan
Though Toby chose to confront the onslaught, relying on his current fragile state of consciousness, it seemed nearly impossible for him to battle this horde of terrifying creatures. Thus, other strategies were essential to contend with these demons.
Had it been Toby’s first time facing such a tribulation, he would have likely been thrown into disarray. If he couldn’t break through in a short span, his ultimate fate would be to be torn to shreds by the mass of demons. This illustrates the horrifying nature of the Tribulation of Resentment. Without the House of Hearts as a sanctuary, the probability of failing the tribulation is an overwhelming 99%.
However, with the support of the House of Hearts, Toby now felt a lot more composed.
His composure stemmed from his newfound confidence.
Even if his Serpent-Bird body and this Mental Space were momentarily overwhelmed by resentful thoughts, and a great deal of his power was beyond his control, it didn’t mean he was entirely powerless.
Within this pitch-black Mental Space, apart from his minuscule consciousness, there was another power he could wield!
That was——Rage!
As Toby, with his diminutive form, faced countless massive and terrifying creatures, his deep crimson eyes suddenly became overwhelmed with emotion.
Agitation and Rage!
This rage not only endowed Toby with the courage to confront these demons but also transformed him into a being powerful enough to match these creatures——the Griffin of Rage!
In this familiar yet strange Mental Space, Toby could not only control the consciousness of the Serpent-Bird but also that of the Griffin! Because this was his reward for surviving the Tribulation of Rage!
Even after transforming into a Griffin, compared to the countless demons, Toby might still seem insignificant. However, his power was anything but trivial!
“The Griffin of Rage” can be mentioned in the same breath as the “Serpent-Bird of Resentment,” which speaks volumes about its strength!
After Toby transformed into the Griffin, he unleashed a blaze so fierce upon the oncoming black bear that it reduced the bear to ashes, no matter how formidable it might have been.
Following his incineration of the black bear, Toby paused, a momentary lapse of concentration evident.
Up to this point, even though the sequence of calamities varied, everything paralleled his experiences in the House of Hearts. Be it the torrential floods of negative emotions, the plethora of traps, or these demonic beasts, Toby had endured them countless times within the House of Hearts.
However, just moments ago, a deviation from his House of Hearts experience emerged for the first time.
Inside the House of Hearts, after Toby, in his Griffin form, defeated these demonic creatures, nothing unusual occurred. But recently, after Toby vanquished the black bear, he sensed a distinct difference — it felt as if he could harness even more power.
After eliminating the black bear, it seemed as if Toby had broken through a shackling barrier of power, becoming even mightier. This newfound strength manifested as an even more vigorous and luminous ring of fire blazing around the Griffin’s neck.
“What’s happening?” Toby mused, puzzled as to why his strength enhanced after defeating the demonic creature.
Before Toby could further ponder the situation, a bird with ghostly flames trailing its tail feathers elegantly approached him. It appeared graceful but posed a serious threat.
With a swift swish of his flaming tail, Toby knocked the bird aside. His flames engulfed the bird’s eerie green fire, reducing it to ashes in a blink.
As the bird vanished, Toby once again felt a surge in power, the Griffin growing even stronger.
Without much time to reflect on the underlying reasons, Toby began clashing with the surrounding demonic creatures. With each battle, he progressed, becoming more powerful. In no time, his Griffin form grew immensely, symbolizing his augmenting strength.
For each demonic creature defeated, the Griffin received a boost in strength, an occurrence never witnessed during his experiences in the House of Hearts.
“Could it be,” Toby pondered, “that these demon creatures are in fact incarnations of some form of power, and by vanquishing them, one effectively tames this power and bends it to one’s will? Perhaps the reason the House of Hearts can only simulate and not truly augment power is what makes it different from the real-world situation?”
If the answer truly lies in this line of thought, then Toby feels an even greater surge of confidence. For this would suggest that the trials faced within the House of Hearts were even more formidable than the actual tribulations in the real world!
Having conquered the House of Hearts, Toby now not only holds the experiences derived from it but also wields even greater power. With such assets, why should he fear any tribulation?
Emboldened by this realization, Toby’s actions became bolder, unreservedly confronting the attacking demon creatures.
During his previous encounters in the House of Hearts, Toby managed to fight his way out of the demonic encirclements. Now, however, his intent was not merely to break free but to utterly annihilate these creatures!
Among these creatures, there were those even mightier than Toby, such as a black manta that spanned the void.
Based on Toby’s past experiences, he wouldn’t normally engage with such a formidable adversary; after all, the black manta wasn’t particularly swift. All he needed to do was fend off the other creatures and then shake off the manta. But now, Toby’s approach was different. He began targeting the weaker creatures, vanquishing them to bolster his own strength. Once he felt powerful enough, he turned his attention to challenging the black manta.
The black manta was formidable, but against a Toby rich in experience and at the pinnacle of his strength, the manta was still no match.
In a very short span, Toby caused the black manta to vanish entirely into the void.
With the disappearance of the black manta, an even more immense force surged into Toby’s being.
