I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 225: Losses incurred

Eryndor just thought of how he could disrupt Ricky's plan. It was really annoying how he kept bringing out treasures.

Although the majority of these treasures were low quality enough to be shredded apart by the team leaders and other strong members, there were some which had a higher quality and were proving to be quite durable and efficient.

As he was in his thoughts, Irene took out a few treasure bombs strapped to her belt and gave it to Eryndor.

Unlike Eryndor, who liked to distribute all the items among his team members, Irene kept everything on herself.

Eryndor didn't waste any time in covertly distributing these bombs among his teammates, and instructing them to destroy the left wall made my Frostspike Totem.

The one behind them had twelve students now. The one on the right had seven, and one on the left had three.

The most optimal wall to break down would naturally be the one erected by Team Ricky, as there was no student gathered there, but Eryndor had no idea what it was made up of.

In such a situation, it was only right to blow up the wall which he had information on, and was sure would break down under a certain number of treasure bombs.

As to why he didn't want to withdraw the wall by himself? Just like when they minimized the walls from the maze into their totem form and took them back, why wasn't Eryndor doing that now? Because it took time.

Activating them was easy, deactivating took time.

As soon as he sent his members towards the left wall, the desired moment arrived.

Ricky took out a few treasures again!

That's what I was waiting for.

Eryndor thought, and instantly used his Telekinesis.

It was an extremely short duration of time frame in which he used his Telekinesis.

It was really very sudden, and very quick, such that no one would know it was an innate ability being used. At least not his. As people already knew he had Passive Regeneration.

Edward and Syndra also only knew about his Passive Regeneration.

Paulina and Drakarion knew about his Cognitive Scrying as well.

Lastly, Valentina knew about all of his abilities.

As soon as Ricky had dumped a few treasures for his allies, something happened, as if a big invisible hand suddenly smacked all the treasures in the direction of the alliance.

This time, instead of Team Ricky, it was the alliance who got the treasures.

Heavy casualties immediately appeared among the ranks of Ricky's team.

A few seconds later, Eryndor suddenly yelled, "CHARGE!", and ran towards the left wall.

No one doubted him this time, and immediately followed after him.

A second after they ran towards the wall in full speed, everyone recognised Drakarion, Paulina and Syndra from Team Eryndor near the left wall as it began crumbling down.

Everyone was thankful to have this team as their allies.

Team Ricky was down to two members, including Ricky himself, as he really was too durable with all the best treasures on him. There were no more students left under them, at least within this confined space.

As soon as the wall crumbled, five students, two more than when Eryndor last checked, charged in.

But what were five weak students to the huge alliance which had hardly lost a few members?

Those five students were easily eliminated, as the alliance escaped from the left side.

On their way, they eliminated three more students, and finally began running away with no more obstacles.

*****

"Damnit. Fucking hell."

Ricky punched the ground beside him.

There was only one more member in his main team now.

Even if he utilized the remaining teams under him to somehow stay in the rankings, he would only get the last spot in the wheel battle.

What could two people do against other teams in the top ten which qualified?

They would obviously have more than two players in their team which allowed them to stay in the top ten, unlike him, who could rely on the students under him.

Well, I need to forget about getting good rankings in wheel battle I guess. Still, just qualifying for that by staying in the top ten is better than not being qualified.

I would at least get some rewards.

Despite being one of the richest merchant families, few resources were just too tightly controlled by The Human Federation. Naturally, The Academy was a good channel to obtain these resources.

Patting his treasures, he began thinking of what to do next.

First, I need to sell everything I have.

I won't be able to rely much on students under me anymore. I'll need the majority of them to stay around me for defense after all.

They won't be able to hunt many beasts and tie them up for me to kill like before.

I'll only keep these good defensive items I have on me.

Huff Huff

All the members of the alliance were panting heavily as they leaned against different things, like a rock, a tree, or even some plant which was strangely very firm. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"I don't think we can attack Team Ricky anymore. He would have a tight defense composed of a majority of the remaining students under him.

"Thirty seven teams. Let's assume each team has a minimum number of members, which is six, that means 212 students in total.

"Even if we assume a generous amount that around sixty of these students have been eliminated, they would still have around one hundred fifty left under them.

"I don't think we can tackle such monstrosity by ourselves.

"Anyway, I also think Ricky wouldn't go after top ten teams anymore, because that would mean reducing the defense around him. We can disband this alliance and go our own ways."

Eryndor looked around and spoke to everyone.

While retreating, each of them had taken a slight turn to take their bags before running away.

The few students who spotted them didn't engage with them, clearly having received orders from Ricky to regroup immediately as their highest priority.

Eryndor looked at everyone, waiting for their reply.
