I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 250: Fight with the six legged scaled monkey II/II
He sometimes threw it to the ground to distract the monkey, then used Telekinesis to pick it up and stab the monkey from its blind spot.
Many times he would even throw them at empty air only to use Telekinesis to change their trajectory.
Eryndor knew he could only do this against an unintelligent beast. As he was sure to kill it.
He wouldn't ever try this against an intelligent existence as there was always a possibility that they could spread it.
Maybe he would do this after revealing all his abilities, which probably won't be anytime soon.
As the monkey snapped out of its stupor, it charged at him once again.
Eryndor threw the daggers to disorient the monkey, and activated the Sky Piercing Palm: Air variant with both his palms.
Two crescent blades of compressed air were thrown toward the beast.
It ducked, but not fast enough, one of the blades managed to cut across its upper thigh, slicing muscle through the scales and outer fur.
Sky Piercing Palm could be applied in the Qi Condensation realm as well with similar efficiency.
The beast shrieked in pain and rage, blood steaming against its scaled hide.
Eryndor took the opportunity to leap back, and using Telekinesis, he gave himself a push with all the strength and control he could muster in his human form
It failed. His jump hardly increased by a half a meter or so. He wanted to jump till the tree trunk.
The monkey began to circle him now, snarling, eyes glowing with malevolent intent. It lowered its body, twitching all six limbs.
Eryndor exhaled slowly, and switched into his eldritch form.
It was taking too long, its reinforcement would be here soon.
With extremely precise steps, his eldritch form sidestepped the charging monkey and stood behind its back.
It wasn't that his eldritch form couldn't utilize the eight power systems, with all this time he had been using the eldritch form, he certainly had a tiny bit of mastery to use his cultivation art.
But just like when in his base form he couldn't fully utilize the eldritch skills to their full potential, in his eldritch form he could utilize the eight power systems, but not to their full extent.
Fortunately, he didn't need the full potential of the skill either.
Sky Piercing Palm: Lightning.
Blue arcs of electricity crackled into his arm and discharged into the monkey's spine.
The creature convulsed, muscles spasming.
Yes, he only wanted to use the 'stun' function of the Sky Piercing Palm's lightning version.
Its fire version had the 'burn' function, and air style had the 'cut' and 'invisible' function, latter of which was less of a function but more of an inherent feature of the element.
None of these elements did pure damage, or increased damage, but inflicted their 'functions'.
The beast collapsed, limbs jerking—but even stunned, one claw jabbed backward, catching Eryndor in the ribs.
This time he was quick enough to evade it, as he was in his eldritch form. He was nothing if not efficient.
Dodging using the least possible movements and expending the slightest of energy was the most basic skill in his arsenal in this form.
Eryndor grabbed the limb and flicked it like a rope while using Internal Fist on the same limb with his other hand.
A soundless shockwave exploded from his palm into the monkey's forearm, bypassing its scales entirely, directly rupturing muscle and tendons from the inside. The limb went limp, the monkey howling in agony.
Well, it 'intended' to howl in agony. Eryndor didn't give it the chance though, using Telekinesis to shut its mouth.
The monkey leapt backward, blood trailing from its limbs, but it used its good hands to switch claws again. Poison now primed in the first and sixth arms.
Its opponent was proving to be far more troublesome than it had initially anticipated.
At random times, the opponent would use weird skills which had no energy signature which it could sense.
Those kinds of attacks would literally come out of nowhere.
It roared, and went berserk.
The creature began spinning, a cyclone of clawed limbs and scale-plated fury. Trees were shredded in its wake. Branches exploded.
The creature had gone insane, spinning like a top with its arm extended horizontally while approaching Eryndor.
Eryndor didn't flinch. Through Cognitive Scrying he had already sensed what it was about to do.
When the opponent tried to create distance from the spinning top, the monkey would discharge its poisonous set of claws like a bullet, the spin giving it enough momentum to penetrate straight into the opponent.
Unfortunately, Eryndor already knew everything.
He flew up, his eldritch form making it easy to do so.
Using Telekinesis, he lifted himself above the storm of limbs, and then inverted gravity around the monkey.
The beast suddenly felt itself yanked upward. Its plan fell through.
It fought the invisible force, limbs digging the trunks of the trees beside it, but Eryndor, both palms raised, began to compress the air itself above the creature's back. The pressure mounted.
Air exploded from his palms, shooting downwards like a in a cascading drill of power. It wasn't shaped like a lance or any other sharp object, no.
It was like a meteor. Just an invisible one.
The monkey shrieked, barely looking up before it was crushed beneath the extreme force.
A shockwave rolled across the forest.
When the dust cleared, a small crater steamed at Eryndor's feet. The monkey lay motionless at its center, its six limbs twitching feebly. Poison leaked from shattered claws, sizzling uselessly against broken stone.
Eryndor dropped to one knee, breathing slowly.
His eyes never left the twitching body.
The monkey twitched once more, a final desperate strike with its sixth, poisoned claw.
Eryndor's expression was impassive, with an indifferent gaze as he calmly tilted his head at a necessary angle, nothing more, nothing less.
The claw shot past its ear with barely a millimeter of gap.
The eldritch form was nothing if not efficient.
The monkey's heart exploded as Eryndor used another attack through compressed air, this time at a smaller scale. freeweɓnøvel.com
The monkey lay still…
…while ten others surrounded him.
