I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 198: Distributing tasks

"I didn't choose Valentina despite her being stronger because Edward's earth based skill is stronger."

Valentina had shared her Yin Yang Detonation and Yin Yang Beam with the rest of her team already. Paulina continued.

"Valentina will kill whatever beast it is that disturbs us when making a trap. She will of course also help at building the maze but being the strongest of the group, she can dispose of the beast faster than any of us, saving us valuable time.

"After killing it, if the beast carcass happens to be in the way of our traps, it will still be Valentina who will dispose of it, since obviously, she'll be the closest to it.

"If the pit fall experiment is successful, Edward, me, and Valentina will focus on that trap, while the rest will focus on making the maze with the help of items Eryndor will bring back.

"Of course, during the time Edward is performing his experiment, and Eryndor has left for the Support Shrine, the rest of us will start making a maze, since that's a sure-fire trap."

After speaking her part, she performed her signature move — a single, sharp clap, and smiled.

"Any questions? Any suggestions?"

Everyone shook their heads, and immediately got to work without any questions.

Eryndor dropped his bag nearby along with those of his group and shot off in the Support Shrine's direction.

As usual, he had his phone in his pocket and the spiked mace in his hand even though he was out for just a simple errand.

It was common sense to always be at the top of your condition in this era. Safety was just an illusion.

Once he was sufficiently out of the range of all his teammates, he took a deep breath and checked his extended vision to make sure there was no one else around.

He then thought of himself as an 'eldritch entity', immediately shifting to his second form.

His presence changed, becoming heavier than before.

Even compared to his previous version of eldritch form, this one held far more weight.

But then again, it was obvious considering how Eryndor termed his previous version of eldritch form as the diluted state of the current one.

His mind was once again bombarded by thoughts which weren't his own.

A clear mind is one unclouded by morality.

The best decision is one taken without considering emotions.

His emotions were suppressed to the rock bottom immediately.

He was aware of the fact, but he couldn't bring himself to care about it.

The team might lose? He didn't care.

Valentina might've died when she chose to assist him when the protection based Mystical Artifact wasn't working? He didn't care.

Choosing humanity only because his parents and the friends he made were present here? He didn't care what would happen to them.

At this point Eryndor was only concerned with himself.

He fully extended his extended vision, using it with a mastery he had never known was possible.

The range extended in different directions at different rates.

His view constantly zoomed in and out at different locations simultaneously, but he could perfectly handle it.

Footprints visible? Increase the speed of vision extension.

Scratches on the bark of a tree? Increase the speed in that direction too.

Beast droppings?

Urine markings?

Fur or feather sightings?

Each time he found a mark of a beast's presence, he extended his vision in that direction.

As for when he didn't find it? He masterfully controlled his extended vision to stop heading in that direction.

Eryndor realized in the back of his mind that his extended vision seemed to be stretching further than he remembered.

Yep, I already tested it once by only extending my vision in one direction. It went wayyyy past my usual limit.

But I didn't know doing the same in all directions in the matter of milliseconds was possible.

Normally, he would've fully extended his vision without any of this finesse and just hoped to come across a beast due to the sheer area his vision covered.

This? This was masterful control of every inch of his extended vision so that none of his Energy of Consciousness would be wasted in useless things and also increase the range of his vision.

Found!

By luck, it was exactly an Ice Ox which he spotted.

Without any wasted movement, he used Telekinesis to levitate himself and fly in the beast's direction all the while keeping his extended vision of Cognitive Scrying active.

At a carefully calculated distance, he stopped.

It was time to make a pit and test if he would get the points.
