I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 210: Regrouping
He took a look at others with his extended vision, and decided to head in Drakarion’s direction.
I’ll need to switch to my human form first.
Apparently, that was a mistake. Big mistake.
"Arghhhhhh."
As soon as he left his eldritch form, insane pain registered in his mind from almost each part of his body.
His body crumpled on the cold white floor which had blood flowing through it now. He completely curled up, trying to resist the pain.
Is it the eldritch form? Does it somehow make it so that pain can’t be registered so that efficiency can be maintained?
Eryndor felt that he might be close to the truth. There was no other reason why his body began aching immediately after exiting the eldritch form.
He might have overworked his body for sure, stretching his muscles beyond limit, outputting force greater than what the body could handle, doing maneuvers his physique wasn’t flexible enough to handle.
Everything might’ve taken a toll on his body.
I can’t switch back to eldritch form to meet them, might as well lay down here.
As he resisted the pain, he didn’t forget to keep an eye on the battlefield.
There were two people who were extremely impressive.
Edward and Syndra.
The former was taking on all three level two beasts, one of which was at peak, while the other two were at mid stage of Stable realm.
Edward was at the peak stage of the Elementalist realm, the second level of the Mage power system.
He was also someone who specialised in fighting against beasts.
It was only now that he saw him fighting three Stable realm beasts did he remember that fact.
I must’ve been underestimating him after his lousy performance against first year Kron.
Eryndor thought. One couldn’t blame him though. Edward was literally losing against Kron, who was at stage six of Silver Warrior realm, the second level of Martial Artist power system.
I guess specializations are a really big thing. Just one mismatch of specialization, and someone who is proficient against humans can easily kick the ass of someone who is trained to deal with beasts despite being at a lower stage.
But it’s good now. Edward is easily kicking the ass of these stable realm beasts.
He is at the peak stage of level two. If even someone like Kron, a stage six level two person, who specialized in fighting against humans can be stronger than a peak stage level two person like Edward, then there was no reason for Edward to lose to these beasts.
The next impressive person was Syndra, who was at stage nine of Qi Gathering realm.
Her weapon of choice was a sword, one which was easily able to slice through all the incoming beasts, regardless of the stage.
Is it because that sword is a treasure? Or could it be some ability of hers?
Eryndor couldn’t make that out.
Her next noticeable thing apart from the sword cutting through the beasts was her footwork.
On second thought, it was quite reasonable. For her to stay alive to employ her insane offensive prowess, she needed to be able to stay alive til then and also place herself at the most optimal place and angle.
Since Edward was taking on those Stable realm beasts, it was Syndra who was dealing with his share of level one beasts, there were around fifty eight around her.
Fifty eight corpses that is.
She was done fighting.
She didn’t join Edward, but headed towards Drakarion.
Lying on the ground, with his back soaked in the blood which flowed through the ground, he continued spectating.
Paulina didn’t need much help, at least until now. Her innate spell model allowed her to be nigh untouchable among these beasts.
That, coupled with her ability which displayed vital points of things she focused on, made it easy for her to always strike at the most vulnerable part of the beast, making the most of the situation.
Drakarion’s fighting style was nearly the same as what he employed himself.
Pure physicality.
However, being a Martial Artist, his physique was stronger, and the skills he practiced were oriented more towards hand to hand combat.
Even his ability was extremely suitable in direct combat, compared to his which were more along the lines of being auxiliary.
Overall, he had a better condition than Eryndor, but still struggled due to two reasons.
One, Eryndor’s eldritch form could be said to be the peak of efficiency in terms of fighting capability. Even though Drakarion was genius in fighting, he was nowhere close to the level of Eryndor’s eldritch form.
Second, after running out of Internal energy, he couldn’t keep track of all the beasts using his surveillance skill, making it even more difficult for him to make optimal choices.
Valentina recovered enough energy near the end to make one more move, helping Paulina kill off the remaining beasts while Syndra helped Drakarion.
Edward had also cleanly finished off the three Stable realm beasts without a single injury.
The five of them gathered, before setting off for Eryndor.
"I didn’t go there to help him because my surveillance skill picked up on no activity, so I thought he must be done with the beasts."
Syndra spoke, running on the forefront as she led them through the maze.
Drakarion had an expression of pure appreciation on his face as he said.
"If he really managed to deal with all sixty beasts then it would truly be insane. That guy was supposed to be injured after all."
Paulina shrugged.
"Honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Finally, the five of them reached his place.
The first to notice the oddity were Edward, who was proficient in dealing with beasts, and Drakarion, who was a master in pure physical combat.
Except for three beasts which had traces of being attacked by weapon, there was no unusual trace on any other beast.
They knew Eryndor was good in lightning based attacks, and also dabbled in air and fire oriented techniques, but none of those were present on any of the beast.
"Can you all help me instead of looking around and admiring me? We also need to check our scores."
Eryndor coughed from down below, still lying on the ground.
