I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 177: Sides

Am I hearing things wrong?

Eryndor wondered.

It could indeed be that he was hearing wrong since a large portion of his attention was on keeping his hunger in check.

But when Daoisto spoke again, he knew he wasn't hallucinating.

"Do you want to talk?"

Eryndor narrowed his eyes at the middle aged man who had hands crossed in front of him, looking all relaxed.

Does he not feel the hunger? Or is he just that adept at controlling it?

A tiny doubt crept into Eryndor's mind as he wondered if he was indeed the only one who felt abnormal hunger. Keeping those thoughts aside, he questioned.

"Talk what?"

Daoisto smiled.

"Join us, leave your side. You should recognise your situation, there's no way out for you."

Eryndor's mind went into a mess as he heard this.

Sides? These eldritch entities are playing sides?

And I was supposedly at the opposite side of Daoisto?

Eryndor's brows furrowed.

Should I pretend to know what he is talking about?

"What will I get if I join your side?"

Daoisto smirked coldly as he looked at the student.

"Well, you won't die."

Eryndor's eyebrows twitched when he heard the response.

What information am I supposed to gleam if you keep answering like that?

As if Daoisto had realized something.

"Wait, do you even know who you are? Your memories before you were sealed?"

Eryndor nodded gently.

Daoisto narrowed his eyes, still looking suspicious.

"Is that so? Then tell me your revered appellation."

Appellation? Not appellation's'?

Is he assuming that I only have a single line revered appellation? Or is he testing me?

Eryndor kept his mouth shut. Regardless if he was testing him or not, not exposing your abilities was a basic thing.

True, revered appellations weren't easy to guess, but it was still not safe.

"Alright, good call. But that still doesn't reveal if you know your identity and have the memories."

Eryndor continued reigning in his hunger.

He only had one motive.

To know more. To get more information out of Daoisto.

Once that was out of the picture, he would let go of his hunger.

Unknown to anyone, just like the previous time, black smoke had long begun appearing from the fifth door of his Mind Palace.

The black smoke continued wafting out, filling the entirety of the hall as more and more continued escaping from the fifth room.

Seeing that the student opposite him was keeping quiet, Daoisto spoke once again.

"Are you even an eldritch entity? Or did the organization on this planet incorrectly term you?

"Eldritch is a title given to those standing at the peak of the ninth realm. Were you really that strong? Or did they make a mistake?

"Tell me the titles for strong entities at the peak of the seventh and eight realm."

So Eldritch Entity is a title? I see. It's given to the strongest among the ninth realm huh.

Was my eldritch form really so strong?

How the fuck did my powers even get sealed in that case?

Eryndor pushed aside those thoughts as he confronted his current dilemma.

I don't know what he is asking about.

Daoisto's lips spread wide into a grin as he gazed at the indifferent expression of the student.

"No use hiding your emotions.

"You really don't know, do you?

"No worries, how about you just agree to switch to our side?"

Can this be resolved peacefully?

Eryndor thought.

But then, wouldn't I be betraying the side I am currently on?

I don't even know how many sides there are, who all are on my side, and people on Daoisto's side.

He hesitated a bit, and answered.

"Can you tell me who else is on your side?"

"You don't need to know. Just know that we're stronger than you. Join us if you don't want to die.

"Be quick, my patience is running thin."

Eryndor clenched his teeth.

If I switch over, wouldn't that mean I will be betraying whoever who stood on my side?

He quickly shelved that thought as he realized that he wasn't in the state of having a moral dilemma. His life was on the line.

I can always switch back if it's possible, but I at least need to know one thing.

He gritted his teeth.

"Will humanity be safe?"

My parents are still living, and I also have friends here. I can't put their life in danger.

As if he had heard the most ridiculous joke, Daoisto blanked out before he doubled over laughing.

"Are you fucking kidding me? You really don't know anything, do you?"

He gradually reverted back to his wide creepy grin with hands folded over his chest as he spoke.

"Just submit, or die. Humanity's fate was sealed long ago. You don't have the luxury of trying to think about them."

What?

Does that mean they are opposite humanity? Can I conclude that I was on humanity's side?

As if he realized something from Eryndor's expression, Daoisto suddenly opened his palm.

Eryndor didn't even get a chance to say anything as a sphere of fire shot out from Daoisto's palm.

In his state of controlling Hunger, he couldn't activate his cultivation arts in time, only dodging slightly, but the fireball still hit his arm.

Sovereign's Cloak bore the full brunt of the attack, instantly disappearing after a second.

It seemed that the attack was at level three, since that would explain why the Sovereign's Cloak, which was at level two, couldn't hold out.

His naked arm experienced what was remaining of the attack.

And for the first time ever, Eryndor experienced intense physical pain as a large part of his right arm burned.

"Arghhh."

He screamed, losing control of the one thing he had been holding back all this time.

His Hunger was set free.

As he cried out loud, deep within his Mind Palace, the black smoke began glowing.

The entirety of the black smoke which occupied the vast hall began glowing brightly before converging.

Unbeknownst to everyone, something extraordinary was taking place.
