I am an Eldritch Entity

Eryndor was serious in his question as to how she stumbled upon such snakes. He was absolutely gobsmacked.

I've never heard of a beast with so many abilities in such an early realm, not to mention three of them can jump levels above to hit harder.

As Eryndor was engrossed in his thoughts, Valentina sighed heavily and continued.

"Its drawbacks is that the circle of duality can only be casted by their merged YinYang form, while the spheres of marking can only be shot by Yin and Yang in their individual form.

"The merging and separation take a few seconds, so the timing and accuracy needs to be really really well planned or the blasts won't take place at all."

"Valid drawbacks." He commented, and then stood up, before beginning to stretch.

He yawned loudly and muttered.

"Alright, I do feel sleepy now after all your blabbering."

"Get lost." Valentina kicked him in the leg.

They both shared a laugh as Eryndor headed into his tent.

In a minute or two after laying down, he was soon pulled into deep sleep.

Cultivation? He had been passively cultivating all this time, so it wasn't really an issue if he missed the session before going to sleep since he really was tired after all the fights and thinking.

The next morning, he woke up and left the tent with his bottle and a towel.

"Good morning."

Edward greeted him. He was last in the order who would keep watch over their camp, so it was obvious he would be staying up till the others woke up.

Eryndor did his morning routine and began packing up his tent, just in time to see Valentina leaving her tent.

Edward had already packed his tent into his bag and was roasting some meat which Eryndor couldn't recognize.

While Eryndor popped a food pill into his mouth, Valentina asked Edward for a bite.

"Hmm, this is good." She praised.

"Told you." Edward shrugged.

After the three of them had their breakfast, they resumed their journey.

Soo, what was I thinking about last night?

As he jogged in the front, Eryndor once again fell back into his thoughts regarding the entire plot.

I was thinking about revered appellations last night, right?

I remember thinking that it might point towards probability.

That entity decreased the probability of Co-founder Morris dying.

Eryndor didn't know just how powerful those entities were which had an authority, but they were obviously above the Cosmic Limit.

One can only imagine how effective it must be when an entity as powerful as that uses their authority to fix your problem.

Is that why he kept repeating 'got it' continuously?

Because he 'got' the boon of having his probability of dying fixed?

But there was an issue with considering 'probability' as the one which the line 'The Hand That Tilts the Scales' points towards.

Because well, that entity, let's call it Daoisto, helped Co-founder Morris by decreasing his probability of dying.

And in return, he will push me into the abyss. That's it?

Where does Guardian Sol fit in this puzzle? He was apparently important enough that Co-founder Morris put information on the tournament as a secondary objective.

Where does the 'opening' talked about in the yellow papers fit in this? It was also apparently important enough for Co-founder Morris who had gone crazy to write about it in yellow papers.

This didn't feel right.

The pieces weren't falling into places.

There were three possibilities.

First one was that probability was indeed the authority of Daoisto and he was just missing a few pieces of information to fill the remaining gaps of Guardian Sol and 'Opening'.

Second one was that the one line revered appellation pointed to another authority which would make everything make sense.

Third was both of the above.

It wasn't long before Eryndor's extended vision caught sight of a river.

"There's a river up ahead, anyone wants to head over?"

Valentina shook her head, but Edward nodded.

"I want to fill my bottles, been thirsty for a while now."

"You have the Support Shrines for that. You'd really trust river water for drinking?

"What if there are some bacterias, diseases, or some other shit you know? I mean, I am not knowledgeable regarding this but I'd prefer safer options if available.

"Also, if you're that thirsty, you could've asked me, I have plenty of it. Want?"

Edward shook his head.

"Nope. Experience, experience. I told you. It's about living the life.

"I've brought charcoal and other water filters, so nothing will happen to me."

At level one, two, and even three to some extent, the body was still not completely immune to getting sick, diseases and such.

The immune system was certainly stronger, but not completely invincible.

Eryndor changed the directions slightly and led everyone towards the river.

They took a small break while Edward filtered the water and filled them in his bottles.

There are no beasts nearby.

Eryndor thought as he looked around. He was planning to kill a few beasts during the time Edward messed around with river water but there were none.

He had looked at their ranking and they seemed to have fallen off from top ten.

I mean, I am not surprised.

During these two days, all our members except Paulina are focused on travelling towards the tundra.

It is Paulina alone whose scores are increasing.

That Kron fellow only had around ten thousand points. Each of us three got more than three thousand points, but it is still not enough to get into the top ten.

Eryndor recognised the importance of rankings. Currently he was the only one stuck in the mess, his teammates didn't deserve to be dragged down.

He had to make sure that they would stay in the top ten and get to participate in the group battle which would decide their final ranking.

The rewards of the tournaments were important for everyone.

Suddenly, he noticed something moving towards them at the edge of his extended vision.
