I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 203: The situation worsening
Eryndor deduced that only the first and third point could be used to deal with the Active realm beast in cases of emergency.
As he divided his focus between the Active realm beast which had entered, and on the huge pit, he finally saw Sander's reply from the corner of his vision, reading which almost made him go insane.
Sander: "Hehe."
Eryndor felt like cursing that mad man a thousand times but he couldn't afford to put that much effort in this situation.
He took a look around, and ascertained that none of his allies could see his situation, they could only hear him.
They were also far enough to not sense anything related to him.
I should use my eldritch form to tackle this.
The influence of the eldritch form was just limited to a small area around him after all.
While switching his form, he extended his Sovereign's Cloak like he usually did, covering everything about him.
Sure, it was stupid, but he was just grasping at every straw he could get to disguise himself.
Till this point, Eryndor had not been able to accurately locate the Active realm Ice Ox, he was using the faint vibrations to track its location because in his human form, his extended vision was largely inefficient.
Its view was always stuck on top, with only a minute zoom in and zoom out.
In his eldritch form though, he could view anything from any angle he liked, making it way easier for him to follow the powerful beast.
When he recognised a certain point, he yelled.
"VALENTINA! THAT BEAST IS HEADING TOWARDS A TRAP UNDER YOUR CONTROL!"
There was no reply, but Eryndor could see Valentina moving.
Oh yea, I can do that.
His eyes narrowed, putting aside the idea he had and tracked the beast as it approached the trap.
Eryndor quickly churned out a few speculations based on Sander's reply.
He only sent a "hehe."
Under no point of view does it look like a response someone would have in this situation of an Active realm beast participating in the tournament due to an oversight on their part.
It very likely wasn't an oversight on their part.
Which means it was intended AND there was a way out.
Directly matching it with realm was impossible because no one was at level three among the students.
Even matching it through rare realm crossing abilities like those of Valentina's snakes was not very likely, exactly because those kinds of abilities were rare.
Unless this situation was made to be extremely ultra mega difficult, there must be another way.
Eryndor then thought about what was told to them.
'There would be no beasts or anomalies appearing which would be out of their capabilities to handle.'
Like I just thought, unless it was meant to be some kind of crazy ass batshit insane level of difficulty, such a beast shouldn't appear at all.
But Sander didn't show any signs of concern.
A beast appeared.
Which shouldn't have appeared at all according to what was told.
But the temporary judge showed no surprise or haste.
Putting all these thoughts together, Eryndor arrived at a bold conclusion.
We might not get eliminated even if the beast defeats us.
Or we might get eliminated indeed with some penalty because we took on something stronger than what we could handle, displaying our poor judgment, and discernment capabilities.
But even in that case, we should still be put back into the tournament after some time, such a beast was technically not within the scope of the tournament after all.
It should be something akin to a surprise point bag with less consequences…probably.
As he concluded that train of thought, he suddenly felt like the situation became much easier.
He glanced over at the Active realm Ice Ox, which just effortlessly demolished the trap Valentina launched at it.
Eryndor thought about telling Valentina to use the abilities of the snake, as that was bound to be able to injure the beast heavily.
To deal with the trap just now, that beast had leaked a bit of aura, letting Eryndor know that it was at the initial stage of Active realm, the same offensive prowess Valentina's snakes' last ability had.
He recollected that she didn't seem to have named that ability.
He was correct about its combat prowess though. Valentina had explained that that move dealt more damage than Yin Yang Detonation after all, which had the offensive damage of peak of level two.
He watched the beast demolish several more traps of everyone's path including his.
It was already more than twenty five percent deep into the maze.
This was supposed to be a long drawn out battle, but that Ice Ox wasn't playing by their rules at all.
His thoughts drifted back to Valentina.
Her offensive prowess is enough true, but to deploy that she would have to face the beast, and that's way too dangerous, not to mention that final move of hers takes time and needs at least two living beings.
Wait, he could totally get an ant from somewhere as the second living being.
Then, Valentina would only need to mark the ant with Yin or Yang sphere of marking, then prepare the Circle of Duality on the ground where that beast would pass by.
I can use my incredible precision skills in this form to place her at an accurate location at an accurate time so that her ability doesn't wear off before the beast gets inflicted by the opposite sphere of marking.

Eryndor's Telekinesis was in the Active realm, which meant there was a high possibility he couldn't just control the beast willy nilly which was in the same realm.
But he could definitely control Valentina.
It was because she knew of his ability and wouldn't resist it.
This was exactly the idea he had earlier.
It was time to test it as the Ice Ox was already approaching the fifty percent mark and the pit was almost full.
Things would get drastically worse soon if they did nothing.
