I am an Eldritch Entity

Eryndor briefly wondered about Guardian Sol.

Unfortunately, he had no way to know if something had happened to the man.

The conditions to open the entrance to this secret realm must somehow be related to Guardian Sol.

Only something unfortunate happening to a Guardian level figure would concern the entire humanity.

Caulin HAD to have been talking about Guardian Sol.

Yes, why would Co-founder Morris tell Cyborg Outer Domain about me? It would be even less likely they would push me into the abyss.

And even if he didn't tell them anything about me, and just termed it as personal revenge, there were very less chances they would want to kill me.

Eryndor thought how no student had been harmed.

Does that mean Co-founder Morris is protecting the students?

There must be something which enforced that both parties must not break the terms of contact.

Eryndor couldn't imagine why the Cyborg Outer Domain would spare the students when it was such a good chance to cripple the younger generation of humanity.

There really must be some Mystical Artifact or something else which makes it such that no side must break the terms of contract.

That is the only way all these students are safe.

Eryndor understood why Co-founder Morris wouldn't want to target him through Cyborg Outer Domain.

Why was only a single student targeted among the many others? Was there something different about him?

Not to mention they might not kill him, they would also not obey Co-founder Morris' orders to push him into the abyss.

Just the fact that only a single student was being targeted was enough for them to be wary and not sign such a contract.

But then why even attack the other students then? Might as well not send such weak ass robots.

Eryndor didn't understand this part. He did have a strong suspicion that Guardian Sol might've been attacked though.

That guy could even defend against the Buddhist Outer Domain, nothing would happen to him right?

A strange sense of urgency enveloped him.

My danger sense?

Honestly? Eryndor didn't believe in anything like this, but he had read plenty of reports where this kind of thing saved people. And he was also not in a situation where he could afford to ignore it.

He briefly considered bringing in Sander, who was waiting outside the secret realm.

Should I use him for this though?

If my guesses turn out to be correct, it would be the Cyborg Outer Domain which attacked Guardian Sol, it would've had nothing to do with Co-founder Morris.

That won't be any kind of proof against Co-founder Morris.

In the end, Eryndor valued his own life over Guardian Sol's. He still kept Sander outside in case Co-founder Morris made some move.

Maybe I can ask a few doubts that I had though.

He took out his phone from the bag and messaged Dr. Kirchoff.

"Can the ability to manipulate space be given through the invocation ritual.

"Say, like, opening and closing the entrance to a secret realm?"

There wasn't any reply, so he regrouped with his teammates with an urgent heart.

They were all talking about the recent fight.

"I find something suspicious, but nothing has been announced on the tournament ranking website so maybe it was just some kind of test?"

Paulina spoke with a heavy heart.

Drakarion frowned beside her.

"I didn't see my points increase though. Was it really a test?"

Eryndor didn't attract much attention as he rejoined them, so he deliberately clapped and spoke after everyone looked his way.

"Uhm, I need some help.

"Hear me out. It's nothing complicated, no action needed, no work, just some thinking."

Even in this situation, Eryndor didn't forget to do a fake cough in Drakarion's direction who already began looking for a stone to throw at him.

Suppressing a laugh, he spoke.

"So, I want you guys to tell me whatever comes into your mind when you think of the sentence: 'The Hand That Tilts The Scales.'

"You know, like what comes to your mind? What power? What ability do you think the sentence relates to?"

Everyone fell in though as they began thinking about Eryndor's words.

"Bias?"

Syndra spoke, and continued.

"Like you know, it is favoring one side, which is why the scales tilt…something like that?

"In battles it can be used to disrupt the balance of the opponent by being biased towards one leg, I don't know, just speaking what comes to my mind."

Eryndor nodded in her direction.

"Not bad, anything else?" He looked at everyone. "Can y'all think of more stuff?"

As he waited for them, his phone pinged.

Keeping his attention focused on the group, he opened his phone to find that Dr. Kirchoff had replied.

"No. The ability to manipulate space cannot be given to others.

"It's not really an ability, just something inherent at higher stages.

"For example, height. When a child grows, their height increases. It's just something which one gets at a higher stage. Not something which can be given to others."

As he read through the message, he didn't forget to respond to his group.

"Equality?"

"Equilibrium."

"Gravity."

"Weight?"

All of their answers were similar to what he had already thought, so he still encouraged them to think more.

As they went on a longer duration of contemplation, he suddenly thought of something as he sent a message to Dr. Kirchoff.

"Say… what happens when an entrance is made in a secret realm?"

Perhaps because he had just come online, his reply was quick.

"Made? Not natural? Do you mean someone making an entrance to the secret realm?"

Eryndor was about to answer when he suddenly thought of something.

"Yea, a clone of someone who is very likely to be an eldritch entity. I think it has actually happened in the Trenek secret realm."

Eryndor just realized that with the appearance of the new entrance in the secret realm, there was already proof against Co-founder Morris!

Those yellow papers which talked about Co-founder Morris thanking Daoisto for making an opening!

Contrary to his expectations though, Dr. Kirchoff sent a completely unexpected reply.
