I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 148: All dead

Eryndor ran fast, aware of the temporary nature of the ability. How long does it last? He didn't know, so he had to be quick.

As soon as he reached Valentina, he took out the third paper, and directly put his hand on her shoulder.

There needed to be a connection to transfer the Energy of Consciousness, even something as simple as putting hand on the shoulder would do.

It was the third and fifth paper out of seven which were old enough for regression to not work immediately. He took out the third one first, although the order wouldn't matter anyway.

"Try to use your ability now."

He said, his tone touched with nervousness about the possibility if it would work.

Valentina didn't know what was going on, so she simply nodded her head and got to it.

Using her ability twice back to back to regress the state of yellow papers had been demanding, she only had a little expendable Energy of Consciousness left.

Everyone who had innate abilities had experimented with them at some point.

By now it was common knowledge among them that the Energy of Consciousness, which their innate abilities consumed as a fuel, shouldn't be depleted completely as it led to the person falling unconscious.

One should always keep a little for themselves, just to keep them awake and conscious.

What did he do? Could he have really succeeded?

Valentina thought, but her actions didn't lag behind. She had already begun using Regression ability on the yellow paper.

She saw that Eryndor hadn't told her to halt even when she was about to consume the expendable Energy of Consciousness.

Is it going to be like last time? Just how far back does this paper need to be regressed?

Valentina had a faint suspicion in her mind as she gazed at his palm on her shoulder.

Thinking back to what he said earlier about transferring Energy of Consciousness and his weird actions of running away for a while, she couldn't help but think if it was really possible?

Just as she was in thought, she suddenly noticed that her ability had actually been going on for a while!

Shouldn't it have been depleted by now?

Her gaze travelled to Eryndor who just nodded at her with a meaningful smile.

It is really possible? Damn. This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Even with the copy ability she had, Valentina never felt at ease when facing Eryndor, as if she wouldn't be able to defeat him no matter what.

Her attention was attracted back to the piece of paper, which Eryndor had no intention of taking back.

It's been so long.

She asked him while continuing to use Regression on the yellow paper.

"Isn't it done yet?"

He shook his head. Even he was quite troubled due to how long the paper was taking. Thankfully though, the words were already going through a change, albeit slowly.

Just a bit more and I can read them.

With anticipation, he continued transferring his Energy of Consciousness to Valentina, who was quite shocked by now.

Just how much Energy does he have?

Valentina prided herself on having a large pool of Energy of Consciousness. Even when she compared with Paulina and Drakarion, they noticed that she had a larger pool of energy.

But Eryndor? He had been going on for a while and showed no signs of stopping. She reckoned the amount of energy he had spent was already about one and half of her own energy pool. Which meant, fifty percent more.

Is it not his own Energy of Consciousness? Is he transferring it from somewhere else?

She shook her head, not intending to delve into it. It also sounded a bit stupid, or like an excuse.

Finally, she heard him say, "Halt."

Eryndor took back the yellow paper and read the wordings.

Just like every time, he efficiently used the energy, only regressing the papers till the words were barely legible.

Why would he need them to be in complete pristine condition when he would be reading the same words anyway?

Since the blurriness was barely readable coupled with the handwriting looking like it was written by a crazy person, just like always, it took quite a while for him to read what was on the yellow paper.

The words -

"Hahaha, thank you for making an opening Daoist!"

Huh?

Is it related to the words on the sixth yellow paper? It spoke about opening too.

Eryndor was quite confused at the moment.

Is this opening a part of the deal? Since Co-founder Morris had thanked him here, is it Daoisto's part of the deal?

What is this opening referred to here? Why would Co-founder Morris want it?

There was still not enough information.

Eryndor took out the last piece of yellow paper and showed it to Valentina, and put his hand on her shoulder.

Just like last time, the words didn't immediately change. Eryndor had already anticipated this.

If the first one proved to be so troublesome, this one couldn't be any easier.

There were also a lot of words on this yellow paper, at least by the looks of it.

He was anticipating the regression of this particular piece the most just by seeing the number of words. It might give him the greatest amount of information.

If they turned out to be gibberish like 'shcbskr' 'ebjcigsvhd' and the likes then he couldn't do anything about it. But he still hoped there would be valuable information inside.

A man can hope, right?

Keeping his eyes trained on the paper, he kept holding it up to Valentina, who was certainly not as calm as him.

She was continuously using the transferred Energy of Consciousness to use Regression on the piece of paper but her thoughts were completely turbulent.

Just how large is Eryndor's energy pool??!!

That question occupied the largest part of her thoughts as a multiple of them came and went each moment.

Time passed by as the words went through a change gradually, the same couldn't be said about Valentina's thoughts though, which hadn't stopped jumping around chaotically.

Holy shit this is insane.

By now, the amount of Energy of Consciousness Eryndor had spent was equivalent to four of her energy pools!

Just what kind of monster is he?

Valentina thought back to the time when she felt her energy pool increase. She didn't know the conditions behind the phenomenon, just that one day she noticed that her amount of Energy of Consciousness was a bit higher than before.

She had surmised back then that maybe it was her ability that had progressed a bit, leading to her storage pool of Energy of Consciousness increasing.

Assuming that her guess was true, didn't that mean Eryndor's abilities had progressed much further than her ability?

Just who was he?

Valentina's speculation was indeed true. The quantity of Energy of Consciousness increased with the progress in abilities.

Once the abilities had a breakthrough, the quantity would similarly see a drastic increase.

Eryndor might not have felt it because he simply never tested the limits of his energy pool after that one time when he felt an intense headache and fatigue after stretching his third person vision range to the limit.

Who knew how surprised Valentina would be if she knew how close she came to the truth with her guess.

Her ability was only at the first realm - Latent, while Eryndor's Cognitive Scrying was at Enhanced realm.

If one assumed that Active realm was the third level, it meant that Enhanced realm was at fourth.

There was a gap of three realms between Valentina's ability and Eryndor's ability, of course the energy pool would have a similar level of difference in their quantity.

Eventually, Valentina simply became numb to the phenomenon.

"Halt."

A small sigh of relief escaped her mouth as she stopped using the ability. No matter how numb she had become, it was still a relief that she wouldn't have to bear witness to his monstrosity.

Eryndor clearly misunderstood her sigh, and spoke up.

"Sorry for troubling you Valentina. How about I make up to you with a meal after the tournament?"

How many people do I owe now oof?

He was quite tired as he thought about it.

Valentina only gave him a complicated look while nodding. She would bring up this matter later when things didn't seem to be so urgent for him.

Eryndor glanced back at the yellow paper in his hand after dealing with Valentina and carefully read what was written.

"Arghhhh arghhhh. Dead! Dead! All dead!

"Arghhhh. Everyone who participated in the mission is dead arghhhh! I am the last one left!

"No one knows! No one knows!

"I am scared! I am scared! I want to live!"

His eyes narrowed as he comprehended what was written.

Eryndor already had an inkling of what mission Co-founder Morris might be talking about.

The mission to seal me.

He thought with a certain amount of confidence.

The clue was there in the third line itself - 'No one knows.'

He remembered the guide Molina's words.

Dr. Kirchoff had modified the memories of everyone such that no one knew who was the one who had participated in the mission to seal the eldritch entity.

If it was any other mission where everybody had died, it would create quite a stir within the Federation. There wouldn't be a situation of no one knowing about it.

Even if it was a top secret mission, people with higher or similar authority would still know about it.

And quite honestly, given that this entire matter was revolving around him, it was another clue that the 'mission' Co-founder Morris was talking about could only be the one to seal him.

His eyes narrowed as a variety of speculations began popping up in his mind.
