I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 216: True nature of Team Irene
Eryndor looked at Team Irene, which had through some means, known about the last four person team which were retreating.
He knew that their surveillance skill shouldn't have allowed such a large range, but then how were they able to track that last four person team?
Could they be targeting each other for so long that they have developed methods or have some targeted treasures against each other?
While waiting for Edward to return with something which could guarantee their cooperation, he continued looking at the chase.
The four person team had slowed down at some point.
Why did they slow down?
Is Team Irene using something to track all the people working under Team Jonathan then also using something which can slow them down?
Or did that four person team slow down of their own volition?
Eryndor's eye twitched when it turned out to be the second option.
The four person team might have slowed down for the eight people he just saw entering his range.
Within a minute, the last four person team and the newly entered eight person joined up and turned back to face Team Irene.
Realizing what had happened, Team Irene was quick to turn around to escape.
What kind of shitshow is taking place?
His eyes narrowed when he saw which direction Team Irene was heading in.
Quickly alerting his teammates, Eryndor began running in another direction.
He had been keeping an eye on Team Irene all along, and it seemed none of them had deviated from their path.
So earlier they ran in our direction purely because of coincidence?
Eryndor had some doubts, so he called Edward and let him know to also bring something which would purify their entire body of any smells or anything which could be used to track them.
What if these two teams, Irene and Jonathan are just staging a play for us to see?
There is a problem in this guess though. Fucking no one, like really really no one would even dare to think someone might have such a huge range for their surveillance skill.
So there is a larger probability that this is not a staged play which will get us to trust Team Irene and bla bla bla.
As Eryndor was thinking that, he suddenly muttered under his breath.
"These scums…"
Team Irene, which were running in a direction away from them, abruptly changed after sensing their team, and were now heading in their direction.
Well, I intentionally didn't run away too far and stopped where we would inevitably come under their range to gauge how they would react.
It seems they are the lowest kind of scums who would implicate bystanders just to get away.
Eryndor felt thankful that he had conducted this little test. He at least got to know a little about this Team Irene he would be cooperating with.
"It's your turn."
He told Valentina. She already knew what to do.
Using her Beast Tamer path, she commanded Yin and Yang, as she and Paulina sat on the former, and Eryndor and Syndra took their seat on the back of the latter.
All four of them either flew away or dug into the ground to escape.
"They ran away."
A young man running alongside Irene spoke to her.
They had been hunting students working under Team Jonathan recently but they just encountered an iron wall in the form of twelve students.
Just as they were escaping, they found a good scapegoat which would've worked well to get rid of the twelve people team chasing them but it seemed that they had someone with exceptional surveillance skill as they were quick to run away.
"We can't do anything now. The probability isn't high that we'll find more students around this part. Send some bombs in their direction to get rid of them."
Irene spoke, using her surveillance skill to keep track of the twelve member team behind her.
The young man who had been running alongside her clenched his teeth.
"Those bombs are precious. Are you sure you want to use them just to get them off our tail?"
Irene's eyes twitched as she answered.
"What else? Do you have a better idea?"
The young man didn't say anything as he commanded his team to release the bombs at them.
Within a few seconds, Irene could already sense the twelve member team dealing with the treasure bombs she had just dropped, causing them to stop their chase.
"Let's keep running, we'll stop a few kilometers away just to be sure and take a rest."
Irene commanded.
"Have they left?"
Valentina asked, regrouping with Eryndor and Syndra as her two snakes minimized and slithered up her hands.
"They have stopped some distance away. Do we still need to cooperate with them?"
Paulina nodded.
"We need to. Didn't you just say that another eight man team arrived which grouped up with the four people to chase Team Irene? You said that even in this eight man team none of them look like Jonathan.
"That means that not even counting their main team, they had 20 students working under them up till now. Eight of which were eliminated.
"We don't know just how many more students that team has under them. Unless we are sure that we have removed whatever tracker they might have on us, I think we should definitely try to remove this Team Jonathan.
"With your surveillance skills we have the advantage. They won't be able to pull underhanded tricks. We just need to be cautious of other stuff they might have up their sleeves while cooperating."
Eryndor was silent for a while before nodding. Glancing at his extended vision, he spoke.
"Edward arrived."
A few minutes later, the senior regrouped with them, and gave them a few items.
After Edward explained what was for what, Eryndor first used the scanner on each of them.
Fortunately, they came to know that they were really marked with some kind of tracking oriented smell.
Unfortunately, the purifier which Edward bought couldn't deal with this smell. fгeewebnovёl.com
Paulina, who had suggested earlier that they should first try to remove this tracker, and only if it failed that they should deal with Team Jonathan, muttered.
"No choice, let's go to Team Irene."
