I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 83: The transformation rule of four energies

Their discussion was basically about how the day had proceeded for everyone.

Was there any new information about the terrain of the planet or about the unexplored area in the direction team Lockheim headed in?

Were there any new findings from the researchers? Did the researchers need any kind of beasts or plants from the planet to conduct experiments?

The agents announced if the quota of resources to harvest from this planet was filled or not, and if the spaceship had refueled completely.

They also took notes if something could be improved in the protocols or in the tasks to be carried out on the planet.

As the meeting continued, the feeling of energy of Consciousness draining didn’t lessen one bit.

He was grateful he had the Sovereign’s Cloak, and that too an upgraded one now, which provided him immense defense.

Not even ten percent of its defense capacity was consumed yet.

At a certain point, he had taken a glance at Liliana, and he spotted that on her right hand, the thumb was touching the ring on the index finger.

Of course, that didn’t mean Eryndor was sure the ring was the treasure which was executing the mental attack, it could be Liliana’s cultivation art for all he knew. She was certainly capable enough for that.

There was a very simple way to verify it though.

A few minutes later when the discussion concluded, Eryndor felt the drain on his energy of Consciousness coming to a stop. Simultaneously, he spotted Liliana’s thumb disengaging from the ring.

Indeed, it’s very likely the ring.

Eryndor made a mental note and retreated to his room.

After entering, he soon went to the box of pills. What he took out wasn’t the level one Qi Gathering pills this time but the third box.

It was the one which contained pills related to the mind.

With Liliana using mental attacks everyday, he didn’t feel safe with just a Sovereign’s Cloak. He needed to strengthen his mind.

He had also kept an eye on everyone, and it seemed that there were no changes. Eryndor planned to imitate the changes these people exhibited, if at all they did, so that he didn’t stand out to Liliana.

He took out a bottle of Spirit Strengthening pill and held it in his hands.

Even if it was more effective on people who walked the path of spiritual energy, cultivators like him who used Qi could still use it and experience just slightly less benefit than them.

It had something to do with the four energies, which he had read about by now with all the free time that he had.

It was said that Internal energy and Spiritual energy were for the body and the mind respectively.

Mana was related to inanimate elements of nature, like fire, water and so on.

Qi was related to existence itself, under which even the soul of the human body was included. It could be said to be the jack of all trades, but master of none.

These energies could transform into things related to their domain given that the user had enough comprehension of the subject, with far greater efficiency than if they transformed into one outside of their domain.

Additionally, the inherent strength they had in their domain was related to its size.

According to it, Internal energy and Spiritual energy, corresponding to the body and mind respectively, had the smallest domain, thus the highest strength in it.

Mana included all the inanimate elements of existence, therefore its domain of influence was greater than the previous two energies but smaller than Qi.

Lastly, Qi, which included all of existence, had the largest domain, therefore had the weakest strength while transforming into anything.

Which meant, assuming that the strength, realm, comprehension, and rest of the other parameters are the same, then the internal energy which transformed into blood, which was of its own domain, would have higher strength than if Mana transformed into fire, which was similarly of its own domain.

It was because Internal energy in its own domain was stronger than Mana and Qi.

Similarly, if Internal energy transformed into fire, which was not of its domain, and if Mana transformed into fire, which was of its own domain, then the fire made by Mana would have a higher strength.

And lastly, if Qi transformed into fire, it would be stronger than if Internal energy transformed into fire.

Qi may have the largest domain, therefore the weakest strength. However, it was still stronger than all the energies if they transformed outside of their domain.

As soon as Eryndor read this information, he had come to understand more intricately how Paulina’s spell model worked.

Her mana quite literally transformed into an electron.

It was because Paulina’s state of existence was connected to the state of existence of mana, which she transformed into an electron, that she was able to transform her body to display the properties of that particle.

He shook his head, shoving aside his thoughts and sitting on the bed with the pill bottle.

It was used the same way as the Qi Gathering pills. One had to pop them in their mouth, and circulate Qi.

The Qi you absorb through the circulation of practice technique would then be used to temper your mind.

Since the meridians weren’t getting the absorbed Qi, one’s realm didn’t increase during this procedure.

Unlike the Qi Gathering pill, the effects of Spirit Strengthening pill didn’t depend on time but were fixed.

No matter how long you took, as soon as a certain amount of tempering was performed on your mind, the pill would lose effect.

Eryndor was just about to take the pill when his door was knocked in a pattern which was for urgent matters.

Putting aside the pill, he immediately headed towards the main room. Once everyone had gathered, Liliana addressed all the people in a grave tone.

"When I ventured out for the final check for the day, I discovered that the location of all the Maws of Agony near us had changed. We’ll need to be careful, I don’t feel good about this."

Everyone’s expression changed, their eyes widening as they realized the implications of it.

The strongest on a team had the role of scouting the surroundings at the end of each day so there weren’t any unstable factors near the spaceship.

Since Liliana had detected a change, it must be true. No one joked about this matter.

All of them had the same thought.

Who changed the locations? Was there some unknown dangerous thing about this planet? Was it even safe anymore?

All of them except Eryndor. His mind was a jumbled mess. His brain was short circuiting.

Isn’t it her, or the people behind her which moved the Maws of Agony? Did she not do it?

No, it must be her group for sure. Did she expose the locations since Hellen and Ken wouldn’t be venturing out anymore? Was it so that no other humans were harmed?

But that raised more doubts. Eryndor always thought Liliana stood opposite the humans in the battle of Ravencrofts vs Mage Outer Domain.

If she cared about humans, that messed with Eryndor’s insights and the predictions he had made.

His thoughts grew increasingly jumbled and messed up until collapsing into a single line.

What’s going on?
