I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 207: Challenging situation

Fortunately it was significantly injured, and slowed down.

Valentina spent the next few seconds bombarding it with Yin Yang Detonation. It was a good thing its injury had slowed it down, else it would've easily dodged those orbs with the absence of Eryndor's control.

Despite everything, it still dodged a few of those orbs though, managing to avoid triggering Yin Yang Detonation.

She rode the enlarged form of Yin to move around and maintain sufficient distance from the beast.

Whenever it attempted to get close, she would burrow into the ground to escape.

She didn't use Yang for obvious reasons, as the beast was also capable of flying through its innate ability.

Eventually, she had managed to wear down the beast, killing it at last.

Unfortunately, the consumption of energy was too serious, both her Internal energy and Energy of consciousness, as several times, it was her who shot the orbs of Yin and Yang instead of her snakes.

People who walked the path of Beast Taming could choose to imprint any one ability of the beast they had contracted.

Although they couldn't use this ability as freely as the beasts, and even consumed a relatively greater amount of energy, it was still a profit to them.

Because Beast Tamers could use Internal Energy to fuel these imprinted abilities, compared to the beasts who needed to use Energy of Consciousness.

It was a major advantage of the path of Beast Taming.

A downside was that it truly consumed a lot of Internal Energy, and also had cooldowns.

Nevertheless, everyone agreed that it was an extremely advantageous point of the Beast Taming power system.

An innate ability from every beast you contracted? Who wouldn't find it broken despite the cooldowns and high energy usage?

Not to mention the four energies: Qi, Mana, Internal Energy, and Spiritual Energy were far easier and faster to recover than the Energy of Consciousness.

Recently, the Federation had also found a small mine for the first time which contained not precious minerals, but Qi crystals.

Apparently they could be used to quickly recover Qi.

Unlike Qi Gathering pills, which increased your absorption quantity of Qi from the atmosphere, these Qi crystals had Qi within themselves, which was extremely easy to absorb.

The Federation had predicted that crystals of other three energies should exist as well.

That only went on to show easily the four energies could be recovered.

Wasn't this a major advantage?

Then why was Beast Taming not the most chosen power system?

Up until now, there were two discovered reasons, which were enough to hold back people from choosing it.

One, the potential of beasts.

Majority of the beasts didn't even have innate ability.

If you contracted them, they would only be able to fight with their physical bodies, and the person obviously couldn't imprint any innate ability either since the beast didn't have any in the first place.

Even if the beasts had innate ability, it was difficult to gauge their potential.

Majority of the beasts exhausted their potential after reaching level two, with a select few reaching level three.

Sure, level two was the peak of Cosmic Limit a week ago, and level three was the peak now, but what about the future?

In case of exhausted potential, further advancements needed an immense amount of resources, or you just had to be incredibly lucky to contract a beast with terrifying potential.

The second reason was primordial arts.

It was observed over the years that no matter how much effort you put into creating them, primordial arts always performed worse than the other skills like cultivation arts, magic spells, etc.

It wasn't much, if other skills were a hundred, primordial arts were ninety to ninety five. But it was a difference regardless.

As if it was a universal restriction on this path for the advantages it provided.

Valentina was a tiny bit better in that regard, because her innate ability allowed her to copy other innate abilities, and it didn't distinguish between humans or beasts.

She could copy all the abilities of her snakes if she wished to.

"Eryndor and Valentina, are you injured? Please respond truthfully so we can change strategies accordingly!"

Paulina asked them with a raised voice.

Eryndor gasped as he finally reached his position. He was glad he didn't choose to sit and rest.

His presence had made a difference.

The beasts had been delayed enough that Valentina was able to finish the Active realm Ice Ox and retreat.

If he hadn't arrived, the horde would have reached the location of their fight, forcing the entire team to fight the horde and the Active realm beast directly at that location.

When he heard Paulina's question, he thought for a second before replying.

"I'll need some rest."

Valentina replied differently, "Can't go on."

Hearing their replies, the team finally got to know how serious the situation was. No one had a true idea of their condition up until now.

The beasts had crossed the fifty percent mark, and their next layer of traps began from the sixty percent mark, Eryndor planned to rest until then. He was already feeling a bit better.

He didn't know if it was because of his eldritch origin or not, but his recovery of Energy of Consciousness had always been impressive.

He had only recovered a tiny amount though, not even enough to cover the maze with his extended vision.

During all this time when his extended vision was active though, Eryndor had finally been able to make a rough estimation of the beast's numbers after all this time.

Around three hundred fifty Ice Oxen were alive.

And this was only more than forty percent of the horde. The pit had truly been a great trap, no wonder the most effective and easiest.

Forty percent of traps left.

Their strongest offensive member, Valentina, was down.

Their best surveillance skill member, Eryndor, will need time to recover.

Could they still win?
