I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 168: Fourth round of attack?
Reigning in his impulse after seeing the word 'opening', Eryndor still deleted all the chats after sending them to himself.
He didn't return just yet, but kept Paulina's phone in pocket before opening his phone and reading the information given.
[There was an opening in the Trenek secret realm which led to the Cyborg Outer Domain's base.
It suddenly manifested many years ago, but it was closed all this time.
That is, until yesterday, when someone from the Human Federation put forward some condition to open that entrance. The Cyborgs agreed to it.]
Caulin: "I don't know those specific conditions, but I think you should already be able to guess them.
"If I happen to get any more information regarding this, I'll send them to you at the earliest."
What?
He disregarded everything else for a moment and focused on the meaning behind the word of the 'opening'.
Eryndor finally knew what the 'opening' all along was.
It was the entrance of this secret realm!
However, it seemed that it wasn't the one which led to the human territory, but rather a new one which led to the Cyborg Outer Domain's base.
So Daoisto made a new entrance? One which Co-founder Morris requested?
And it was closed until recently when someone from the Human Federation offered to open it?
Eryndor already knew who it was.
Co-founder Morris of course. But how can he control the entrance?
Wait…
Don't tell me…
Co-founder Morris surely couldn't control an entrance of a secret realm, but what if it was Daoisto?
The clone was consumed in the invocation ritual, but who said an entity could only make one clone?
Eryndor had zero knowledge in how clones were made, but even he could make logical connections.
Daoisto the clone could control the entrances of secret realms, but it was consumed during the invocation ritual. Now an entrance was being controlled once again, who could it be? Of course Daoisto.
No wait.
That invocation ritual.
Could it be that Co-founder Morris got the ability to manipulate the entrance to the secret realm during that invocation ritual?
Wait, is this another attempt to push me to the abyss?
First, the beasts.
Second, the group of nine students.
Third, Kron.
Now, the cyborgs?
Just as Eryndor was about to contemplate further, his extended vision caught sight of something.
It had metallic armor.
Shit, they're here already?
Eryndor had no time to think further, and go through his usual routine of finding gaps in his logic and correcting them himself.
At this point, he could only regroup with his teammates and hope he was saved.
If nothing worked even after being together with his teammates, then he would have to really resort to his second form which was closely related to his eldritch origin.
Without delaying any further, he shot off running towards his team.
It seemed because he had separated from them, they had decided to stay put in that location so that it would be easier for him to regroup.
Paulina had also returned to the group.
Everyone looked his way, which was rather expected judging from how he was running towards them with such an urgent expression.
"There's a high possibility that Cyborgs are coming our way, ready yourself."
He didn't say anything but began placing the bags of everyone in a safe location as the rest of them came to their senses and began taking their stances.
Around the time he was done, cyborgs arrived in everyone's field of vision.
The lack of trees in the tundra region didn't mean that it was completely devoid of it. Trees were still present but very sparsely distributed across the tundra, unlike the densely packed land of forest.
There were also other obstacles like big rocks and tiny hills, which weren't a common sight in normal forest terrain.
All in all, although the naked eye could see farther than in the forest terrain, it wasn't overwhelmingly better as there were still other obstacles.
"What the fuck, cyborgs in this secret realm? Is this a joke?"

Syndra muttered, seeing their numbers.
There were all kinds of cyborgs which were heading their way. All of them looked like different kinds of beasts, just that they were all metallic.
Some of them even had a humanoid shape.
All in all, Eryndor guessed that their numbers were around forty.
Paulina made the first move as Yin and Yang merged and shot Yin Yang Beam.
To Eryndor's surprise, the Yin Yang Beam which had the damage capacity of stage seven of Latent realm was able to easily damage a few of the beasts heading their way.
So weak?
Eryndor already knew those beast shaped metallic structures were all puppets.
Contrary to popular belief, not all 'self moving machines' were called Cyborgs.
Cyborgs were those who could practice Cyborg practice techniques, that much was obvious.
There was no beast found up until now which could practice any of the eight power systems, so those beast shaped machines heading towards Eryndor's group could only be puppets.
People, on the other hand, who could practice Cyborg practice techniques, often chose to replace a part of their body with a machine.
It could be a mechanical arm, mechanical leg, artificial eye, some machine replacing the heart, anything.
The point was, Cyborgs were those who modified their bodies and fought.
They were individuals who had integrated mechanical or technological components into their biological bodies, either by replacing original parts or adding entirely new enhancements.
Through the use of skills and Spiritual Energy manipulation, they could control these modifications with exceptional precision—often surpassing the capabilities of natural human physiology.
Beyond their own bodies, cyborgs could also interface with and remotely control external machinery or weapons, effectively extending their combat presence beyond physical limits.
In the early realms, they had the highest range in effectively all domains, be it surveillance, offense, defense or other things.
Eryndor thought even if these beasts were just puppets, they would be stronger.
Are all the beasts weak or just a few?
