I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 205: Blunder

As a beast, it had very sharp danger instincts.

Its eyes had a wary look in them as it slowed down slightly to dodge the path of the Sphere of Marking.

At that very moment though, a monstrous force descended upon it from all sides.

It prevented it from changing directions.

Even though it was the strongest resistance it had faced yet, the beast knew that it could deal with it.

It would take time.

Unfortunately, time was the very thing it didn't have right now.

Its danger instincts screamed even as the Yang Sphere of Marking eventually landed on it.

Eryndor panted heavily, feeling quite drained after a very long time.

It was him who had used Telekinesis just now, forcing it to not move from its path.

The expenditure wouldn't have been so intense if the creature hadn't used all its force to try to break free from the constraints.

At that point, his Energy of Consciousness poured out like water rushing from a burst dam.

I knew it, I only had one chance.

I still have enough left to make a few more moves, but I definitely can't attempt to control that beast again.

Thankfully, I made the most out of that chance.

Eryndor's gaze was still on that area.

As soon as the Yang Sphere of Marking landed on the beast, it was inevitably pulled towards the bug marked by the Yin symbol, which was on the opposite side of the Circle of Duality.

This wasn't the feature of her unnamed ability which she had revealed at the end.

It was the function of the Yin Yang Convergence.

The Sphere of Marking was an area of effect ability. Any two groups, if marked by opposite symbols, would be pulled towards each other if they were within a specific range.

It was exactly what was happening right now.

The bug, and the beast, of opposite symbols were being pulled towards each other. Between them… was the Circle of Duality.

That was where the final ability would activate.

It needed two groups marked with opposite symbols to enter the Circle of Duality.

As soon as the Ice Ox entered the range of the Circle below, it began glowing, using every ounce of strength it had to break free.

It finally sensed a glimmer of hope as it could feel the constraints struggling to contain it.

Alas, from the activation of the Final ability where it began pulling the targets towards the center, to the detonation part, there was only a gap of one second.

Unfortunately, at that same last second, Eryndor's eyes widened, realizing the grave mistake he had committed.

The next moment, no matter where everyone was situated, all of them saw a section of the maze crumbling.

It was exactly where the Active realm beast was supposed to be!

After a second or two of complete silence.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?"

Paulina yelled. Syndra followed up soon after.

"ERYNDOR? WHAT'S THE SITUATION?"

Because Valentina had hidden that ability from everyone but him, Eryndor hadn't shared this plan with anyone, so no one knew what had transpired just now.

Also, unlike his extended vision, none of them had a surveillance skill which granted accurate vision of the inside of the maze.

After a second of silence with no response from Eryndor, they were just about to switch their plans when his voice was heard.

"DON'T WORRY, JUST SOMETHING I WAS TRYING. GIVE ME A FEW SECONDS, THE BEAST SHOULD BE HEAVILY INJURED!"

Everyone was surprised, before heaving a sigh of relief.

It was only Paulina whose eyebrow twitched. She was sensitive enough to instantly discern a slight strain in his voice.

Did he injure himself?

Her gaze travelled to the front through her surveillance skill, where the last Ice Ox stumbled down onto the gap.

It might've survived if it was alone by climbing out of the pit through some effort, or if its brethren hadn't gone insane due to the Beast Luring Incense.

It couldn't even let out a cry before it was ruthlessly stomped over by countless other Ice Oxen while crossing the pit which was at last…filled.

As the horde entered the maze, Eryndor lay coughing on his spot.

One could even see traces of blood on the corner of his lips as he kneeled on the ground, one of his arms resting on his thighs as he used the other to hold his aching head.

He had succeeded.

Valentina was saved.

No, his mistake wasn't that he hadn't foreseen the crumbling of maze walls.

It was that he had considered it and still let it happen.

At some point, his eldritch form had managed to influence him.

It influenced him into thinking that sacrificing Valentina in exchange for the beast was a valuable trade.

That it wasn't worth using the remaining Energy of Consciousness and put himself in a position of vulnerability only to move her out of the way.

Eryndor's vision grew blurry as he thought.

Fuck! When did I get influenced? And how?
