I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 204: Placing the elements together

His movements were calm, steady, and accurate. It seemed that his earlier panic stemmed purely from that professor's narration of the event.

Out of everyone present, his traps dealt the most damage, even if they were still negligible to the Ice Ox.

It wasn't that the traps placed in his path were most potent, but that his timing, positioning and accuracy were just that precise.

I guess it isn't in vain that he has pursued the path of battling beasts, he really specializes against them.

Eryndor was thankful that Edward seemed to have gathered himself.

Edward didn't know because he was completely focused on digging, but the traps in this maze wouldn't have been dangerous to that Ice Ox at all.

Valentina only gave him an empty promise of hope that they could try to heavily damage the beast through these traps, when it wasn't even possible in the first place.

Eryndor knew that Edward must've already figured out that Valentina lied to him, but he hadn't said a single word, focused fully on his task.

If Edward hadn't stabilized himself, Eryndor was pretty sure their team would have run the risk of Edward abandoning them again as soon as he realized the real situation of traps.

Eryndor's attention was brought back to Valentina when he felt her responding to his Telekinesis attempt.

She displayed a sign of thumbs up while letting go of any resistance towards his control.

Nodding inwardly, Eryndor navigated her through the maze, while also controlling the bug in her direction.

Their only current advantage over the Active realm creature was knowledge of the maze.

The most effective way to deal with the Ice Ox weren't the choke points, but the detours they had built while building this maze.

Choke points had huge pits in their path, which made them ineffective against this creature which had a flying type Innate Ability.

Among the various randomized traps of Snowbind Threads, only the sealing one was effective, managing to stall the beast for a good while before eventually breaking apart.

It was disappointing, and also a large waste of points.

Traps which would normally be able to deal with a large number of weaker Ice Oxen were rendered ineffective against this outlier, only capable of buying a bit of time.

Even if they somehow dealt with this beast, how would they deal with the horde behind with these traps disarmed?

Guide Piercers, like Beast Luring Incense, were effective as well, but not completely.

The Active realm beast would mostly follow through the route directed forcefully by the Guide Piercers nailed into the walls of the maze, but a few times it was able to resist in time, choosing a different route instead.

At a certain place, Eryndor was finally able to bring both Valentina and the bug together.

Valentina hadn't known what Eryndor was thinking at all, but she had still chosen to trust him, but as soon as she saw the bug, she immediately understood.

A random stone near her vibrated, catching her attention, before it wrote a big '10' on the ground.

Does that mean 10 seconds? Got it.

She nodded to show Eryndor she understood. Even though he wasn't around, he was obviously keeping an eye on her through his broken surveillance skill.

Valentina immediately commanded Yin and Yang to merge.

White light radiated off both the snakes as they merged into one.

She instructed them to deploy the Circle of Duality on the ground before her as soon as they finished merging.

The bug was placed between her and the Circle of Duality, she would just need to mark it with either Yin or Yang Sphere of Marking, then mark the active realm beast with the opposite symbol.

It was Eryndor who was still controlling the bug, so that it wouldn't move around unnecessarily.

He narrowed his eyes as the beast reached an important juncture.

There was a Guide Piercer nailed there, where it would force the creature to head towards the direction Valentina was in.

But if it somehow managed to resist, it would end up going in a different direction. Then he would have to change Valentina and the bug's location once again.

The Ice Ox's speed diminished, as it shook its head and bellowed, a guttural, thunderous sound that rolled across the maze like countless times before.

While keeping an eye on the beast, Eryndor gazed at the front of the maze.

As soon as he set sight, he right away deduced that there was maybe only a gap of ten to fifteen beasts left.

Once it was filled, the horde would continue onwards towards the maze due to the Beast Luring Incense still active near the entrance.

A tiny bit of good news was that more than fifty percent of the horde had fallen.

An equally bad news which negated the above advantage was that the Active realm beast had also dismantled more than fifty percent of the traps.

Eryndor redirected his focus on that particular beast.

It had finally chosen a path.
