I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 136 : His own stupidity

"People change. I may change in the future too. Maybe I would become the friend who accompanies you no matter what decisions you make. I don't know.

"The future is uncertain. Just —"

She shrugged, and took a small bite of her burger before continuing.

"Maybe I am just ranting like a crazy woman now."

Eryndor smiled looking at her.

"You don't need to be so pressured. I just theoretically asked you a question.

"Like you said, the future is uncertain. Disregarding if I even commit such a thing, no matter what decision you make at that time, I won't hold it against you."

It was like a weight was lifted off Valentina as her shoulders loosened and her body posture relaxed.

With a small nod, she went back to eating her delicious double cheese loaded chicken burger with relish.

It had only been a few hours since the tournament began so nothing had happened to the burger, likewise with Eryndor's burrito.

But for the remainder of their time here in the secret realm, which was two weeks, they would have to start relying on other sources of food.

The most common ones were food pills. They were small, easy to carry, and gave all the nutrients to your body equivalent to a single meal.

One would only need three to four food pills per day to keep themselves satiated.

Removing the first day where the majority of the students would've brought food like burgers and burritos, the rest thirteen days would likely be spent on food pills.

Carrying 40-50 food pills would be little to no trouble as it would hardly take any space. One could say it was incredibly efficient, but there were still people who preferred other kinds of food.

That would naturally be meat of the beasts found in this secret realm. Of course, a majority of it were inedible, but as time passed by, the website had begun including more and more information, some of which included stuff like this.

This information was greatly beneficial to people who preferred meat from animals over food pills.

Eryndor took a look at the website as he took a bite from his second burrito. It was cooked with different ingredients from the first one just for the sake of novelty and variety.

There is no drastic change to Terramorph Ravager's information.

There were only minute changes like their attack patterns and so on.

It still hasn't included that thing about their unusual cooperation and luring.

It was already his third time checking for it, but none of it had appeared in their information panel. Naturally, it led to Eryndor making some guesses.

It is very likely that Terramorph Ravagers don't behave like this. Their minds must've been tampered with.

That must be why this doesn't appear in their information panel, because it isn't normal at all.

Eryndor sighed as he reached that conclusion.

First the Terramorph Ravagers.

Then a group of students.

Could whoever it was that was targeting him sense that he hadn't yet fallen into the abyss?

As soon as he had that thought, he thought back to the group's behaviour and connected the dots.

Wait, is that how that group of students were able to sense my location? The person who is targeting me can pinpoint my location and share it with his people?

Eryndor fell into deep thought as he realized that his situation was most likely more dire than he had realized.

I am growing more and more convinced that Morris might be that person, but there isn't a single clue which leads to him.

What should I do?

He glanced at the Sovereign's Cloak.

Oh yea, how was Sovereign's Cloak not able to block location sensing? Wasn't it said in its description that it can defend against all kinds of things?

Location monitoring should come under that too right?

Just had Eryndor had that thought, his Sovereign's Cloak began consuming his energy of Consciousness.

No way? It only acts when I gain awareness about the attack?

Nope. He instantly rejected that thought.

Eryndor still remembered the attack of misfortune from the anomaly of misfortune and fortune orchestrated by Rodrick.

He also clearly remembered the minute mental attack from Liliana regarding making the person forget a specific memory.

These all were attacks which he didn't even know about till they truly happened and the Sovereign's Cloak activated to help him defend against them.

From this, it could be ruled out that Sovereign's Cloak didn't need his own awareness of the attack to defend against it.

Eryndor then thought about something else.

This location sensing mechanism must be placed all over the secret realm to monitor all the students. It was certainly deployed with their own safety in mind.

Could it be that the Sovereign's Cloak didn't activate because the location sensing was for Eryndor's own good and not malicious?

Nope. He rejected that thought as well.

Location sensing might certainly have been for the student's safety, but when it was used 'maliciously' with the intention to 'harm' me, it no longer comes under safety right?

The Sovereign's Cloak should've activated at that point.

Eryndor thought hard about it.

Could the Sovereign's Cloak have limitations?

For the first time, he doubted the ability which came from his eldritch origins.

No wait, then why has it activated now?

Eryndor finished his burrito, and leaned back against the tree as the consumption of energy of Consciousness by his Sovereign's Cloak continued.

It hadn't even reached ten percent of the Cloak's capacity so he wasn't worried.

Inadvertently, his glance fell on the phone in his hand as a flash of insight struck him.

Oh wait. Fuck, this is all my own stupidity.

The first time, he was simply dropped near the Terramorph Ravagers by the Mystical Artifact.

He still remembered the siphoning of energy of Consciousness by the Cloak to defend against the side effect of the Mystical Artifact.

What if that consumption was also the Cloak's attempt to shield him against malicious teleportation straight into the abyss?

Eryndor instantly connected a few dots.
