I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 175: Confrontation
Six hours.
That was the amount of time Dr. Kirchoff told me it would take to break into the secret realm forcefully.
But if he makes a guess that Guardian Sol is 'surely' about to die rather than 'might' die, maybe he would accelerate his efforts, if it is possible at all?
As Eryndor was in his thoughts, he noticed something within team Yetoren. Their formation faltered for a few moments, with even Ronin frowning.
He saw the team leader take out his own phone and type something, and he continued to gaze at the screen.
Is something wrong?
Eryndor's eyebrow twitched as he thought of something. Taking out his own phone, he opened Dr. Kirchoff's chat where he had sent the most recent message.
It isn't even delivered yet?
His brows furrowed.
Has our connection to the outside world been severed?
The situation had just taken a turn for the worse.
Eryndor turned around and showed Ronin his chat screen with Dr. Kirchoff.
At least I can make them relate to me and also show that even Dr. Kirchoff is in contact with me. Maybe it'll increase the chances that they'll listen to me.
As expected, Ronin's eyebrow shot up briefly as he once again reassessed the student before him.
He elevated the status of the student mentally, and spoke.
"Judging from your message, which hasn't been delivered either, it seems like our connection to the outside world has been blocked along with the entrance."
Eryndor nodded. "It's due to Co-founder Morris."
At this point, he didn't care if he had to lie if he could get them to target that man and leave Daoisto to him.
Ronin of course wouldn't believe everything Eryndor was saying but just the name of Dr. Kirchoff did make him see the student as somewhat trustworthy.
As they were running through the forest with the increasingly lesser density of trees, Eryndor thought of something and fully unleashed his Cognitive Scrying on the team behind him without any hesitation.
Ouch
He faced a minor obstruction on Ronin's side, but the mental defensive treasure was only at the second level.
His Cognitive Scrying, which was at fourth level, was easily able to break past it once Eryndor focused a little without breaking the treasure or alerting Ronin.
Back when he faced obstruction in Liliana's mind space, his Cognitive Scrying had only been at third level, so he wasn't able to break in.
Well, all he wanted were the practice techniques of these people, nothing serious.
Why did he want them? Because he just thought of something which would make them useful in his battle with Daoisto.
He got all the practice techniques except those of the Buddhist power system and Cyborg power system.
It was reasonable since their team didn't have people walking those two paths.
A minute later, Eryndor finally sensed a wide open clearing through his extended vision.
Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
And, for the first time ever since he had used the extended vision of his eldritch abilities, someone noticed him at the same time as his sight fell on them.
There were three people in the clearing.
Guardian Sol, who was bloodied all over, and held a glowing shield before him.
Co-founder Morris, whose suit had ruffled up slightly, and held two daggers in his hands.
The third one was a middle aged man who had no distinguishing features. He wore a simple robe and stood on the side of Co-founder Morris, but had turned his head to look directly where Eryndor was standing.
"What happened?"
Morris asked Daoisto, they had almost gotten Sol, they couldn't let anything interfere at this stage.
Daoisto didn't reply to him, but kept looking back at Eryndor.
They didn't have to wait for long, as everyone noticed a young man entering their field of vision, along with a group of people behind him.
Yes! I feel the hunger!
But…fuck, I feel my danger senses tingling as well.
Eryndor could only breathe out a sigh of relief when he realised that his danger instincts weren't screaming at him as intensely as when he stood before Shx'Trelith.
The same could be said about his hunger though.
Is it because I'm in front of a clone?
Eryndor sincerely hoped his 'Hunger' could solve the problem, as that was the only way he could think of.
Sol immediately opened his mouth after recognizing team Yetoren.
"Morris plans to kill me! This dog has colluded with an eldritch entity."
As a senior member of the Human Federation who had been through countless situations, Morris of course wouldn't get angry at such insults.
He recognised the importance of team Yetoren at this stage, so he calmly spoke.
"Sol has colluded with the Cyborg Outer Domain to kill everyone including the students here.
"I'm sure you've witnessed all the robots going after the students. If it wasn't for me taking out their main operator, they wouldn't be as weak, and would've certainly hurt the students."
Valid excuse.
No one knows that a Y class peak stage Mechanist attacked Guardian Sol, that Cyborg already retreated to the Cyborg Outer Domain after all.
All everyone witnessed was a bunch of robots attacking the students,
Eryndor thought after he finished listening to Co-founder Morris.
Contrary to their expectation though, the one who replied wasn't someone from team Yetoren, but the student in front.
"And? Want to talk more bullshit?
"What about the Y class peak stage Mechanist which attacked Guardian Sol because you made a deal with Cyborg Outer Domain?"
Eryndor had already burned the yellow papers which connected him to the ongoing situation on the way here.
Taking out a bunch of yellow papers which he showed to team Yetoren previously, he held them out again, to all three people this time.
"And these? Your ghost wrote them?"
Even in his bloodied state, Guardian Sol laughed.
"A dog thorough and thorough. Can't even clean up your traces."
Co-founder Morris narrowed his eyes as he recognised the student.
How is he here? But now that he is here, I hope Daoisto finally joins the battle.
