I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 150: The battle oriented first year

Eryndor didn't really have anything to ask senior Sander. Even with the yellow papers all being decoded, there wasn't any viable question he could think of.

Maybe I should've just asked for general information about Co-founder Morris? That would've provided some clue, right?

Oh yea, I can also tell him about all these papers, and just hide the one where my name is written.

Wait, maybe I should also hide the one about all the participants of the mission being dead.

Although it would be a good clue, Dr. Kirchoff, who is the main suspect, would come into the spotlight if more people knew about this.

And if more people knew about this, maybe my information would be leaked as well? Yea no, this needs to be hidden as well.

Does that mean I'll also have to hide the other paper which mentions recovering memory? Yep, let's not take any risk.

I can show him the remaining four yellow papers though.

Alright, so he could currently ask all the information on Co-founder Morris, and send the photo of four yellow papers, letting Sander think if the proof was enough.

He couldn't tell him about the teleport mechanism being deactivated at the time when he was pursued, because he had to have killed or heavily injured someone to know that information.

Eryndor wasn't ready to trust Sander with the information that he might've killed a few students, not to mention it would also involve him in the matter.

Questions like, 'Why were they after you?' and the likes would pop up.

Just when he was about to send the message though, his extended vision sensed something unusual.

He saw a bush move about, rustling slightly.

Eryndor would normally not pay attention to every small thing within his extended vision.

It could be some wind moving the bush, or some other thing.

But the unusual aspect was that the bush moved more and more as they neared.

"Wait guys."

Eryndor spoke up, narrowing his eyes at the bush.

Unlike in his eldritch form, he couldn't really completely control his extended vision to the point of zooming in and scrutinizing more closely.

The two of them immediately stopped, knowing Eryndor's insane range.

"We'll take a detour."

Eryndor softly spoke.

It wasn't the first time they did it. They had come across a few particularly powerful beasts during their journey where they chose to detour rather than fight.

None of them found it weird, except Eryndor, who kept his eyes trained on the bush while changing directions.

Is it a beast? Or is it some person sent to attack me?

Eryndor was more inclined to believe in the latter.

Of all the beasts they had taken a detour from, none of them had a sensing range as large as him, which meant they didn't know he was in the vicinity.

This bush clearly moved more and more as they closed distance with it, which was why he spoke of taking a detour.

The second point, there wasn't yet a creature displayed on the tournament ranking website which looked like a bush, or could camouflage.

There indeed existed creatures small enough to hide in the bush though, but Eryndor didn't want to take any chances.

Just when he thought he was wrong, a big movement happened in the bush as a person stepped out, leaves sticking on a few parts of his body.

He looked accurately in Eryndor's direction and spoke, "So you could sense me huh?

"What dogshit information I had, and he even forced me to hide and take no chances.

"I almost couldn't wait as you came closer, my restless movements must've exposed me, huh? No matter, it's easy work anyway."

Before the three of them could even get in formation, the man had already covered half the distance.

Edward was barely able to hold up his weapon to block the fist as Eryndor and Valentina moved away, intending to give support.

The man spoke once again. Even though he was cursing, one could see that he wasn't really afraid.

"Bullshit, you even have a stage nine Elementalist? All my information was fucking outdated, fucking downright wrong."

Elementalist was the second stage of the Mage power system.

Everyone was able to sense his realm as soon as he made his move.

"Stage six of Silver Warrior realm, who are you?"

Silver Warrior was the second level of the Martial Arts power system.

Edward grunted, blocking another blow as he spoke.

Valentina made the white snake use its ability, shooting a white sphere straight at the man who proceeded to dodge it with ease.

Eryndor had simultaneously used the Lightning Infusion along with the lightning version of Sky Piercing Palm, when Kron dodged Valentina's white snake's attack, he happened to be in the path of his attack.

Unfortunately, the man was simply too good at fighting, unnaturally twisting his body, he moved out of the way while holding up a small shield to block the fire based spell thrown by Edward.

"He should be Kron."

Valentina spoke through clenched teeth, gazing at the man before them.

As soon as she spoke out, the other two also realized who he was.

The strongest first year among Martial Artists?

Eryndor wondered, but from the looks of it, he was strong enough to even give Edward a run for money.

This is a first year? Fuck, and here I was getting so proud.

Eryndor didn't linger too much on his thoughts, assisting Edward whenever he could.

Despite Edward being a stage nine Elementalist and Kron being a stage six Silver Warrior, the latter was almost taking all three of them alone in the fight.

'Almost' because he was grazed a few times due to Edward's unusual ability, in the beginning. From the looks of it though, he had already figured out the mechanism and adapted to it.

Does he specialise in dealing with people?

Eryndor firsthand realized the difference between people who walked different paths.

The Elementalist was clearly having difficulty keeping up even with Eryndor and Valentina's help.

He cast Environmental Shackles, making earthen roots appear which quickly bind themselves to Kron's legs.

Without even a second of delay, Valentina cast her ability once again while Eryndor used the fire elemental version of Sky Piercing Palm.

He kept using the same cultivation art because that was the only ranged one he had, and he didn't have any confidence in fighting Kron in close quarters.

Who knew what was he here for?

If he was simply here to defeat them, then it would be alright. However, if he was here to push him into the abyss, then things could get nasty.

"Grrr."

Grunting heavily, through sheer strength, Kron tore off the earthen roots binding his legs, and used a martial art which twisted body at unnatural angles to dodge the incoming attacks, but the female student's attack still managed to graze by his arm.

Doding another round of attacks, he sidestepped, and landed a roundhouse kick at the lead student's neck from his blind spot.

"Argh."

Eryndor lightly groaned, his arm shaking from the pure impact Kron's leg made on his spiked mace when he interfered with his kick on Edward's neck.

"That might've killed him!"

Eryndor yelled at Kron, intending to probe the man, who simply chuckled, while moving towards Valentina.

"Trust me, I know how to control my strength, I am not here to kill. Not to mention the mechanism of the tournament would save him anyway."

Edward once again intercepted Kron, using a physique enhancing spell to keep up with the Martial Artist as he blocked one of his punches aimed at Valentina.

Not paying him any attention, Kron swung his other arm at Valentina, when an unexpected light flashed his eye.

A sharp cry was heard as the white snake wailed, getting hit directly by Kron.

One must remember that the enlarged white snake was still a stage nine Latent realm beast.

Even if one considered its physique, it would be difficult to withstand a person who was a stage six Silver Warrior, the power system known for training the body.

Not to mention Kron was extremely combat oriented.

Just what is his ability?

Eryndor wondered, shooting another Sky Piercing Palm, this time using the air element in hopes that it would land entirely due to how unnoticeable it was.

Kron sensed the attack coming too late as he bent backwards to avoid it, but it still cut through his shoulder.

Not a single cry of pain was heard as a hefty chunk of meat was cut off.

Just a second later though, Eryndor could see the wound healing, flesh regenerating at a visible pace as he withstood attacks from all four, Valentina, Eryndor, Edward, and the white snake.

Regeneration?

No.

Eryndor denied it quickly, his wound didn't start healing immediately. He also noticed that all the previous places where he had been injured were healed completely.

Kron had used four martial arts up till now, one to increase speed, one to twist his body at unnatural angles, one to increase the damage output, and one to abruptly change directions.

Yes, he kept using the last one in tandem with increased speed and weird twisting of body to attack from random spots, straight at the vital points.

Eryndor could sense how deadly the situation was.

Edward had essentially become a meat shield, using his ability to heal himself repeatedly while the white snake accompanied him in tanking some hits.

Valentina and him continued to be backline support, throwing attacks one after another.

Suddenly, Valentina whispered to him after closing the distance midfight.

"I am out of the Energy of Consciousness."
