I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 186: Finally opened

Outside the Trenek secret realm, behind a random tree stood a man with bold red hair.

His right hand held a blade, sharp and polished.

Sander's eyes were trained on the entrance of the secret realm in the distance.

It had begun as a simple lending hand to a student he favored.

But it had evolved to a rather serious matter when Dr. Kirchoff kept updating him about what to do.

Kill Morris?

He thought about the command with seriousness.

It wasn't his first time killing a Co-founder level figure, the purge involved one of them.

So something was indeed wrong with Morris huh, Eryndor once again proved to be extremely sharp. Just how does that boy find out these things?

Shelving that thought, Sander could see in the distance how the entrance had begun flickering around the edges.

First the entrance closed and now realm instability? What's going on inside?

He thought with furrowed brows. The entire plan was based on the fact that he would be able to enter the realm.

Whenever instability occurred, it wasn't just the entrance inside the realm which kept moving, the one outside would also begin changing places.

Dr. Kirchoff gave me a one time use treasure which would let me break into the secret realm without using the entrance, but it's based on the condition that the secret realm must be opened in the first place.

If its entrances are closed, this treasure wouldn't be able to barge in either.

Sander took a deep break, keeping his eyes fixed on the entrance.

As a person with the ability which best shined when he was fighting alone, he had plenty of experience in this domain.

One of the most important aspects in solo combat was patience. He was alone, so he had to be patient until the right moment to strike such that it would provide the greatest advantage in his following fight.

Of course, that was only when you had the luxury of ambush.

Alright, I should stop thinking about those things, the instability looks serious.

Indeed, the edges around the portal were flickering at a higher pace than before, with occasional crackling.

The Federation's team situated at the entrance had been moving since the first sign of instability occurred, and they hadn't stopped yet.

Naturally, they didn't know he was present.

Morris was a Co-founder, it was entirely possible that he would have people working under him everywhere. If they notified Morris about his presence then variables would crop up in the plan.

Silently gazing at the levitating portal, he stood still without a movement.

*****

"Get lost Ronin, even Sol wouldn't be able to do anything if I decide to go after you.

"Even if you were safe, could you guarantee the same about the rest of your team?

"What about the relatives you people have? Friends, parents, your spouses and kids?

"Can you keep all of them safe?"

Morris spoke with hatred in his voice as Ronin interrupted him for the umpteenth time. At this point he had nearly lost his mind due to not being able to achieve his goal.

All I want is to fucking live. I didn't want to hurt anyone, I even saved the students from cyborgs. Is it so difficult to just let me live?

Of course, in his near madness, he didn't realise how skewed his thought process was.

"MORRIS!"

Sol and Ronin both yelled at the same, Ronin even more so, with wrath evident in his voice as they attacked Morris.

It was a common rule in the world to not go after relatives. It was a basic rule that any debt, grudge, or anything which you have, must only and only be settled by the same person.

It didn't matter if you were in the right, or in the wrong, the moment others came to know that you attacked your target's relatives to lure them out or for any other reason, you would be swiftly executed.

Everyone had people they loved or held dear to them, if they allowed this kind of thing to become common, no one would be able to live a peaceful life.

Majority of the power system practitioners went on to become soldiers who resisted the invasion against the Outer Domains and formed teams which contained anomalies.

If these people couldn't do their work with peace of mind, wouldn't that mean that ultimately all of humanity would be under danger?

Therefore, this rule was followed extremely strictly.

In his madness, Morris had just crossed this line, prompting even Sol to attack.

The shaking of the realm had long stopped, but the entrance hadn't been opened, nor had their fight stopped; if anything, the intensity had only increased with Morris making increasingly dangerous and desperate plays.

Cling

Clang

Sounds of metallic collisions constantly rang out as the new beast, which Morris had transformed into, and Sol's defensive treasure kept clashing.

It was a lanky, four-legged beast with metallic claws and a throat that glowed molten red. Its saliva burned like acid, and spikes lined its back, launching off like shrapnel mid-charge.

All in all, it was a completely offense oriented beast.

At this point, even Morris was getting exhausted, therefore the increasingly risky moves.

He also put himself in the situation where Ronin could've killed him, but the result? Nothing happened.

He made a gamble to see if Ronin would truly dare to kill a Co-founder, it turned out that the guy only wanted to keep both of them alive in his indecision of whom to side with.

Sol was still steady, he hadn't resisted years and years of Buddhist Outer Domain in vain.

He had already noticed how Ronin didn't kill Morris even when the guy left a clear opening to do so.

With Morris attacking so openly, I can't rely on Ronin anymore.

Sol thought with narrowed eyes.

Suddenly, everyone sensed the entrance opening.

Before anyone could even react though, a flash of light appeared from the other side.

Without any resistance, a head rolled down.
