I am an Eldritch Entity

Drakarion gazed at the points on the screen then back at Eryndor, repeating the motion a few times as if to confirm it before he eventually ended up asking nonetheless.

"You got twenty five thousand points in one night? Holy fuck!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard that.

It wasn't without reason. A peak stage Latent realm beast like Terramorph Ravager only gave three hundred points.

Even if you counted the fact that it was tundra, a special region, the max it would give was four hundred.

The main problem in this secret realm was that it was too large, and beasts weren't always found in large groups.

Oftentimes they were found alone, or in small groups of two and three.

This made it difficult to rack up points quickly.

Eryndor gave a small laugh and replied.

"Yea, there were a lot of beasts, and I didn't even reach the large gathering if there were any in the first place.

"This is why I am urging everyone to make preparations so we can hunt tonight. If it's successful, our points could shoot up drastically."

As the team discussed a few measures, he checked the rankings of the tournament.

Team Kron (8) - 320,924 points

Kron might've been eliminated, or rather, killed, but his team was still in the tournament, sitting firmly at first position.

They had nine members, eight after Kron's demise, and they also had some of the strongest first years, along with the strongest second year, so it wasn't a surprise they would be on the top.

Dividing their total points by eight, each member supposedly had around forty thousand points.

Eryndor earned twenty five thousand points in around four to six hours, and it had been two nights and two days already since they entered the secret realm.

It was the third day right now, so it was entirely possible that people already had forty thousand points to their name.

Of course, it was also possible that a few members had a high amount of points, while some had low, balancing out the average.

The high amount of points were easily possible as there could also be other ways to gain points like figuring out a hidden rule, or other miraculous features like the one Eryndor found at night to quickly gain points.

Kron's points were all lost when he was killed by the trio of Eryndor, Valentina and Edward, so his points weren't counted.

If he had been eliminated due to other reasons then the points wouldn't have been lost, and would've been added to the team's total score.

Team Ricky (9) - 289,912

Team Utyr (8) - 273,819

Team Risa (9) - 271,383

Team Jonathan (6) - 267,521

Team Yu (8) - 258,821

Team Bronit (7) - 229,641

Team Irene (6) - 199,201

Team Lance (9) - 172,993

Team Eryndor (6) - 169,420

Despite having pretty strong individual members, their team was barely in the last position because they had spent the majority of their time travelling.

Else, they could've easily been around seventh position, with each person having around forty thousand points, just like Team Kron.

Despite such a limitation, they still held their position at rank ten, which spoke volumes of their combat prowess.

Well, there was also another thing which allowed them to stay at rank ten, and that was the fact that three teams before them had fallen in rankings.

One was a team at rank seven, one at eight, and one at ten, which respectively fell in their rankings at random intervals, allowing their team to stay at rank ten.

Eryndor then glanced at the individual rankings. Majority of it was occupied by the captains of the team.

Molina - 78,039

The first rank had a massive gap with the second one. Eryndor could only think of three guesses.

One, that she was a maniac who killed beasts in some special region like tundra every moment, living on food pills and hardly any sleep.

Two, she grasped a few hidden rules of the tournament which gave her massive advantage.

Three, she found a hidden feature like Eryndor.

No matter what, it was still ridiculously high points.

Molina was a second year student.

At stage nine of second realm, she was the strongest second year, and obviously one of the few second years on the leaderboard.

She was from Team Kron.

Mike - 52,802

Mike was a second year student as well, from Team Ricky.

Ricky - 50,881

The captains couldn't be of second year, and since Ricky was elected as the captain of the team which currently stood at second rank, it meant he was in the first year.

Risa - 49,792

Jonathan - 47,045

Kennedy - 45,623

He was a captain of his team but not currently in the top ten.

Maybe he got a weak team, or they might be in an unfavourable situation.

Irene - 44,762

Lance - 41,886

Lukas - 40, 719

He was a second year as well, this time from Team Jonathan.

Eryndor - 39,102

Yes, Eryndor managed to snatch the tenth spot due to the massive amount of points he earned last night.

He already had fourteen thousand after being refunded by Sander for the teleportation he used.

He didn't get his full amount back because he spent a few to unlock parts of the map near the entrance, which Sander refused to refund.

Adding twenty five thousand from last night, he currently had a little more than thirty nine thousand, making him a surprise entry at rank ten.

The list went on till rank fifty, so if someone who was nowhere in the list suddenly climbed his way up to rank ten, it was definitely a surprising underdog entry.

Eryndor could already guess that there would be plenty of teams out there for him, entirely due to how fast he climbed the rankings.

It was extremely obvious he found an extremely advantageous hidden rule or some hidden feature.

Would Eryndor and his team be able to eat their cake and deal with the incoming teams?
