I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 200: Buying the items

First, I'll need to change directions to approach the Support Shrine.

Even though he was fast enough to not get caught, they would still be able to trace him.

He didn't want to let them know that he arrived from this particular location.

It might give away his team's location.

He couldn't afford to have students disturbing them or even sabotage their operation tonight.

Eryndor took a long detour, and chose another side to enter the Support Shrine from.

As expected, all four of them burst out at high speeds, but Eryndor was faster.

A hole opened up within the wall, allowing him to quickly enter.

Once inside, he immediately looked back at the opening.

No one came through.

Does the Support Shrine automatically distinguish between friends and foes even if they are heading towards it together?

Or does it distinguish based on groups?

The latter one sounds more likely.

As he walked over to the screen, he thought about the aura they revealed.

Everyone was at mid stages of first level.

Eryndor guessed that he could've probably taken them on easily.

His main reliance was the Sovereign's Cloak, which was at Stable realm. In front of attacks from people at level one, it was incredibly effective.

He shook his head slightly to remove those thoughts and gazed at the screen.

After toggling with a few options, he filtered the list into items his team might need tonight.

[Frostspike Totems]

[Effect: When planted in the ground, these totems erect walls of jagged ice, forming instant maze walls. They pulse with cold energy, making it difficult for beasts to break through or climb.]

Eryndor narrowed his eyes as he found the first useful item.

This will make it far easier to make maze walls, but they're expensive. We can use them at important locations since the feature about beasts not being able to break through or climb due to cold energy seems good.

As he thought about the last line, he clicked his tongue.

No, it's Ice Oxen we're dealing with. They're beasts of ice, who knows if they're immune to cold, or have very high resistance.

He tilted his head, and thought.

I don't have any knowledge in this regard, might as well ask the group.

A few seconds later, he put a few Frostspike Totems in the cart. Turns out an Ice Ox's resistance to cold was nothing extraordinary.

Soon, he found the second item.

[Guide Piercers]

[Effect: Hammered into the ground to form magical "corners"—each nail emits a magnetic-like field that repels beasts in one direction, compelling them to follow the intended route.]

This one is good as well. Lesser chance of a beast trying to destroy walls this way.

The third item was -

[Snowbind Threads]

[Effect: Thin, invisible magical threads stretched across narrow paths. When crossed, they trigger freezing traps, wall seals, or sound alarms to notify allies.]

This one is good as well. Apart from damaging the beasts, it will also notify us of their precise location.

The fourth item was -

[Tectonic array plate]

[Effect: Place it below any structure to subtly shift and sculpt the structure into the desired shape over a dozen seconds—ideal for last-moment adjustments.]

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

[Caution: Causes instability in the structure, therefore it is recommended to only use it as a last resort.]

This one can be a trump card to save someone if they are unable to fight anymore.

We can easily change the maze so that the beasts would be directed towards the rest of us who would still be capable of fighting.

The instability of the structure won't be an issue with Guide Piercers. They'll stop beasts from going towards the important walls of the maze.

[Beast Luring Incense - Advanced]

This one was a no-brainer, they couldn't afford to let the beasts run haywire.

Guide Piercers were more of a protection item with misdirection feature, while this one was pure luring of the beast.

With everything done, Eryndor paid for all the above items.

A hole opened out in a wall beside his screen, from which a mechanical arm appeared holding all the items he requested in precise quantities.

They were all packed in a carry bag, which came with a lock, which he could set right now.

Wow, is this an added feature when someone makes a purchase of above fifty thousand?

Yes, he had just spent fifty thousand points on all the items. Naturally, the expenditure was divided among the team.

Carrying the bag, he left the Support Shrine, teleporting in a different direction from where his team was for the sake of safety.

No one's around, good.

After taking a look, he shot off towards his team.

Approximately around thirty minutes later, he finally reached his team, and dropped all the items he bought on the ground, explaining to everyone their uses.

"Good choice." Paulina indeed, while the others showed looks of approval as well.

Eryndor had considered everything which could be needed while tackling a beast horde through a maze and bought the respective items.

It was time to get to work.
