I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 199: Stopping a distance away from the Support Shrine
There wasn't a single wasted moment as Eryndor moved the ground with his Telekinesis.
There was no grand gesture like raising the hand and moving it while controlling the earth at the same time.
There was no need to act cool. Did it contribute anything positive to the situation? No.
Within a moment, a large section of the earth was dug away and flattened at another spot.
Why wasn't it just dumped into a small hill? Because it would result in an unnatural environment, probably alerting the beast.
He covered the big hole with weak branches of trees, and put snow on top of everything to camouflage it with the surroundings.
Everything was carried out using Telekinesis without a single distracted thought.
If anything, it was Eryndor himself who commended his efficiency in the back of his mind.
As soon as he was done, he levitated over to the beast which hadn't moved much from its spot.
First, it charged at him as soon as it sensed an intruder in its senses, but when Eryndor actually neared the beast, it desperately stopped itself before plopping to the ground, gazing at him in reverence and fear.
Can I command the beast using this fear?
Eryndor thought before immediately carrying it out.
He used the common language of humans, but it didn't work.
He used sign language as well, but it didn't work either.
It couldn't be termed as inefficiency if he didn't have any knowledge regarding it in the first place.
Eryndor was still perfectly in control of his own body and abilities, fully conscious without any external influence.
Obviously he wouldn't get information he didn't know beforehand out of nowhere just because he switched his form.
He didn't let his failures stop him though.
Immediately, he changed his direction and capitalized upon the fear of the beast to move it towards the pit hole.
He made sure to always cut off its escape route when it tried moving in another direction.
Eryndor mentally noted this in his mind.
Apparently the fear isn't high enough that it won't try to escape. It's only enough to not get attacked I guess.
The Ice Ox frantically kept looking all around to ascertain any kind of danger.
Good thing I manipulated everything to look like a normal environment.
Eryndor refrained from directly using Telekinesis to drop the beast into the pit.
For some reason, it felt more direct to him. In the sense that whatever sensing Mystical Artifact or treasure existed to sense everything and assign points to the students, directly using Telekinesis might count as more involved as a 'cause' in the 'result' that the beast fell in the hole.
If the experiment was successful, tonight, they would be luring the beast towards the pit.
Eryndor knew that forcing the beast into a particular direction by terrifying it was also a more 'involved' action than just luring the beast, and that is why he didn't intend to use this option.
When they reached a certain distance, he abruptly flew away out of the beast's range, and manipulated his Sovereign's Cloak to stop covering every part of the body.
Eryndor always did it so that no one would be able to know it was him even if they somehow gazed at this form.
He then switched to his human form.
Disregarding the feeling of liberation, freedom, freshness and the rush of emotions, he made a run towards the pit.
The beast was still there, looking around, when it spotted a different intruder entering its sensing range. Without a thought in its mind, it charged over.
Majority of the beasts are stupid.
Eryndor smirked lightly, but still took on a combat stance to not let the Ice Ox feel something was amiss.
With this method, he was still technically 'luring' the beast, using perfectly the same conditions if they were to use it tonight.
Swoosh!
Before it could even react, the beast fell down the hole with a loud cry.
Eryndor neared the pit which was wide open now, and looked below at the form which had already stopped moving.
It was just that deep after all.
He then glanced at his points after taking out his phone.
A three hundred points increase huh.
Considering that the Ice Ox was at the peak stage of Latent realm, this meant he got the full points of the beast.
Leaving the pit as it is, Eryndor resumed his journey towards the Support Shrine after messaging his team of the results.

"What? So quickly? It hasn't even been ten minutes since he left."

Drakarion spoke with his eyes widened as he gazed at the message.
The rest of them were damn well surprised as well.
"Edward says he isn't even done completing the trap yet." Syndra muttered, her eyes still trained on their group chat's screen.
There was a period of silence before Paulina shrugged.
"Well, he always manages to surprise us."
Everyone present, Drakarion, Syndra, Valentina and Paulina herself knew what she was talking about, but for different reasons, and agreed with the sentence.
"Guess, we can save a lot of time. Edward should already be heading back, let's get back to work."
Valentina spoke. Yin and Yang were already in their enlarged form, helping the group in any way they could.
If Yang, the white snake had wings along with its four stubby limbs, then Yin, the black snake had long, strong limbs with sharp claws.
It didn't have wings, but a huge, sharp horn on top of its snout, which was missing in Yang.
Yin's entire body was covered in protrusions at several places as well.
Valentina had explained to them that Yang was capable of flying, while Yin could burrow through the ground with incredible efficiency, enough that it could be used as an escape mechanism.
Just like Yang, Yin could also carry two people with it while moving underground without a decrease in speed.

Eryndor abruptly stopped a distance away from the Support Shrine.
He just spotted a few people beneath a well hidden spot.
