I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 214: Hit and run

Syndra was quick to follow after Eryndor as he began running, easily keeping up with his speed.

Eryndor didn't decrease the range of his extended vision, but enlarged it even more, not caring about the consumption of his Energy of Consciousness.

He still had around seventy five percent of it.

Good, both the pairs are following me.

He then focused on the groups of four people.

They haven't begun moving yet. Is their treasure slow?

Whatever, it works to our advantage.

As his teammates began pulling apart from those unfamiliar people, they finally began moving.

One of them took out a device which looked like a walkie talkie and spoke into it.

Subsequently, one of the students from the other two groups took out a walkie talkie as well.

Fuck, so they really were in the same team. They must've made two teams. Disgusting.

Eryndor slowed down after putting enough distance with the other two teams.

A few seconds later, he narrowed his eyes as he watched those three groups randomly moving about.

Are they searching for us?

A minute later, Valentina, Paulina, Edward, and Drakarion arrived at his spot, each of them panting heavily due to using their top speed to regroup with the team.

Drakarion spoke even while he was breathing heavily.

"Dammit! It hasn't even been that long since we divided ourselves to search for beasts, and we already faced trouble."

Paulina muttered after a moment of thought.

"I think it's better that we split up.

"Imagine what would've happened if we were all in the same place, those guys would then be at the same place as well. Judging from what Eryndor told us, there are twelve people.

"Fortunately, since we split up, they divided their group as well.

"If I am not wrong, they should still be searching for us separately, this is a good time to defeat them. Right, Eryndor?"

Eryndor, who had just finished scouting the area through his extended vision nodded.

"It's as Paulina says. These guys wouldn't have split up so widely if we hadn't worked in pairs and gone in different directions in the first place.

"If y'all want to fight back, we can choose to strike now. This is our chance.

"If the majority wants to run away, I can take the lead for that as well."

Edward spoke as soon as Eryndor finished.

"We fight back, that's a no brainer."

Eryndor looked around, and when he saw no one objecting, he instructed.

"There's a four man group which is heading our way.

"We'll need to be extremely quick in eliminating them so that the other eight don't join them."

Eryndor glanced at his extended vision, and took out a map. He then circled two spots.

"One pair will go here, and the other will head towards this spot. From what I've gathered, both of these spots should be out of their range.

"Jump out only when I lure these four guys in this area.

"Remember, they would likely notify the other eight people, so we need to be extremely quick."

Everyone nodded and moved out.

Syndra stayed with Eryndor to keep up the act that they were still hunting in pairs. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Within a few seconds, Eryndor found a beast.

"Let's go."

As they engaged with the peak stage Latent realm ice ox, Eryndor whispered.

"Remember, gradually take the fight where my left foot is pointing towards.

"Then as soon as I sense those four people heading towards us, I'll run. At that point, no matter what state the beast is in, discard it and run with me."

Eryndor didn't wait for her reply, as he retreated backwards and began cooperating with her earnestly, looking as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

Approximately thirty seconds later, that group finally found him.

Huh? Why are they not moving in our direction?

Eryndor looked past them, and realized that the other eight, who at some point had gone far in search, had turned around were heading their way.

Not good, they are choosing to regroup first before doing anything else.

Eryndor made a split second decision there and then without asking his group.

He ran in their direction.

Syndra was confused for a moment as they were supposed to run in the opposite direction, but quickly followed along.

He pressed the red button three times, hoping his team would understand his intention. His phone, which he carried with him, still had its location switched on.

How I wish I could learn some communicating art to talk with anyone in the range of my extended vision.

Eryndor added it to his never ending list of mental notes and kept charging towards those people.

Good, all of them understood my plan.

He thought while gazing at his teammates who were following after him.

The problem was, those bastards were too cautious.

Even while there were four of them, when they sensed Eryndor and Syndra charging towards them, they began retreating.

Eryndor knew he had to work fast.

The situation was a bit better since the other two groups of four had wandered away way too far in search of his other teammates, but they were already on their way.

And since this group was also running away in their direction, then they would meet even earlier.

"Do you have any faster movement art to reach those people? It's an emergency."

He asked Syndra, while calling his group and asking the same.

Everything happened within two seconds, as Syndra shook her head, but Edward spoke a loud 'yes' on the call.

Within a moment, Eryndor sensed a figure whoosh past him, leaving a big obvious trail on the ground.

So fast.

Eryndor didn't waste any time in catching up, Edward had already reached those people and was holding them up alone.

Since that group had stopped running due to Edward, the distance was quickly closed in two seconds.

Without any exchange of words, Eryndor used his Internal Fist on a person in tandem with his Shadowstep, allowing him to close the gap suddenly.

The fight had begun, they just needed to be fast enough to hit and run.
