I am an Eldritch Entity

Daoisto had only been spectating all this time.

Frankly speaking, Morris couldn't blame him. He had already made the clone do a lot of things without even completing his own part of the deal about pushing Eryndor into the abyss.

Looking at how things had turned out though, even that part would probably be completed by Daoisto as he would take Eryndor himself.

He didn't have the face to ask more of him. Just the fact that Eryndor was here should guarantee Daoisto's involvement in the battle.

Morris also couldn't expose the fact that Eryndor was an eldritch. Not when the student was present.

Honestly speaking, after his memories had been unsealed, even his trauma had returned.

It had been more than ten years, but the passage of time hadn't diluted the impact Eryndor's true form had made on him.

Even Daoisto's various feats paled in comparison to the horror he felt ten years ago.

Granted, he was a clone, but still, his instincts which subconsciously compared the fundamental essence of both made him rank Eryndor higher.

He didn't want to utter the true nature of the student in front of him. He knew how he had been sealed, and identity played an important role in that.

Morris had no idea if Eryndor knew about his own identity as an eldritch. On the off chance that he didn't, he didn't want to take a risk by letting him know.

God knows what would happen. He was doing all this so he could live, and Eryndor was a damn dangerous uncontrollable factor, which was contrary to what he wanted.

And that uncontrollable factor really did something which no one could've expected.

He ran off.

Eryndor kept hoping for Daoisto to follow as he ran through the jungle.

He had instantly recognised the state of the battle when he had glanced through the extended vision.

Daoisto wasn't participating.

What was the greatest use of an 'amplification' ability? When it acted as a support. If it amplified an already strong attack, that would be enough to defeat a majority of the people.

He didn't want Daoisto and Co-founder Morris to work together.

That situation also gave him some information on their current relationship. Daoisto would likely not listen to Co-founder Morris even if that man asked him to stay.

Probably because he had already asked Daoisto to do a lot without actually paying anything back.

While he had this thought, he didn't forget to check his extended vision.

As expected, Daoisto didn't even look at Co-founder Morris as he began running after him.

If Daoisto wasn't so confident in himself, and had a better relationship with Co-founder Morris, he would've stayed to help the latter deal with everyone before chasing Eryndor together as that would be countless times more efficient.

At that point, Eryndor wouldn't have been able to do anything either as Co-founder Morris would have the authority of the tournament judge and be able to manipulate all the related Mystical Artifacts.

Anyway, it worked in my favor.

"That leaves us huh."

Ronin finally spoke, after seeing how Eryndor had lured Daoisto away.

Co-founder Morris narrowed his eyes when he saw Daoisto going after Eryndor.

Does he understand the true nature of his identity? Or did someone instruct Eryndor to do this? Who could it be? Dr. Kirchoff?

It was certainly disadvantageous to him now.

As one of the most senior members of the Federation, he had plenty of mastery in all of the skills he had practiced. His combat prowess was very high.

He could've taken out team Yetoren alone as he was someone who had walked the path of combat against humans, but Sol wouldn't let him do that.

Team Yetoren's combat prowess was low enough that any one of them could have taken them out alone, but it was also high enough that if they sided with any one, the other one was sure to lose.

Guardian Sol might have had a chance to stay his ground against both Morris and team Yetoren in his peak state since he was defense oriented.

That was also the only reason Guardian Sol had managed to stay alive for as long despite getting critically injured by Y class Cyborg and fighting Co-founder Morris.

His defensive prowess was just that disgustingly high.

Well, that's what I'm after in the first place.

Morris thought, as his eyes glanced over to team Yetoren, who walked over to Sol's side.

"Well? You'd rather listen to a kid than a Co-founder?"

Ronin shook his head lightly. "Evidence. They are important."

"What? Any random paper with nonsense written over it is evidence now? Anything he spouts is evidence?"

Ronin just gave him a nervous laugh.

"Then shouldn't it be alright if we wait for the secret realm to open and the Human Federation to resolve things?

"We'll know who is correct and who is not. Let the Federation be the judge."

These were really Ronin's thoughts.

He still had no idea whom to believe. His contractor, Kaylor, had only told him to head towards the entrance to make contact with the clone of the eldritch entity.

He had relented on this matter and let Eryndor handle the clone because he was in contact with Dr. Kirchoff who was higher in ranking than Kaylor.

Who knew if Eryndor's plan that he would deal with the clone was one concocted by the President himself?

Kaylor had also given no instructions on what to do regarding Co-founder Morris and Guardian Sol.

Therefore, in this tense situation, he could only make sure that none of them died.

"You made the right choice."

Guardian Sol spoke, his voice barely louder than a whisper. It was getting more and more difficult for him to hold out.

*****

"Far enough?"

Daoisto finally spoke while tilting his head to the side as he gazed at Eryndor who had stopped.

Majority of Eryndor's focus was on controlling his hunger, causing his replies to be slower than usual.

"Yes."

"Now can we talk?"

Huh? Talk?
