I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 91: Including an Eldritch Entity in scheming

Erin stepped into the portal and came out from the other end. He had entered the city of Polinek.

"Uh-oh, this city seemed to be under martial law. Are they preparing for a battle?"

Erin whispered while looking at the state of the city after exiting the narrow secluded alley in which the portal had manifested.

I should find Calix fast.

Cleverly evading the surveillance, Erin tried finding where Calix was located.

On the way though, he found something interesting.

This device is interesting.

Erin praised the removable physique extension in his hand. He had skillfully grabbed one for himself without anyone noticing.

As a person who had peak level of mastery in all eight power systems, he was qualified to see the intricate details of the masterpiece before him.

It was thanks to his family that he had such a broken advantage in the early stages, but he also knew would have to rely on himself as his realm grew.

When he probed the inner workings of the mechanism on his hand, his eyes narrowed.

"Shx’Trelith?"

He whispered softly.

Now this is something interesting.

Erin was confident that only a few people would be able to find what he had. Was it a prank? Or some plot?

Erin didn’t care what was happening, he discarded the mechanism and erased his traces before leaving the area.

Oh yea, this could be sent to lil bro.

He would find a nice gift for him later, but this could be a nice introduction for him to start talking with Eryndor.

Since he already had his contact due to the last mission, he quickly found it and sent him what he had found.

*****

Eryndor had already arrived back at the spaceship.

He was currently sitting on his chair, sending a message to Syndra.

"Do you have a list of Mystical Artifacts owned by the Sinclairs?

"And yes yes, don’t remind me. I owe you even more now. Please look it up, you’re the only one I can ask."

Syndra was numb by this point. Without saying anything, she sent him a list.

"This is all we know, if there are some secret Mystical Artifacts they have, then we wouldn’t know about it."

Eryndor only sent her a thanks before going through the list.

Found it.

There was an artifact which matched the design of being a bracelet, as told by the couple.

He read through its descriptions, gradually connecting the thoughts in his mind.

Eryndor’s eyes widened by the time he had finished reading the information.

No wonder I’ve never seen something like a bracelet on her arm, if my guess is correct, it might have been with Lucy all along.

No wonder Liliana only wanted to hurt the couple but not kill them.

No wonder I was accepted on the mission.

Liliana could’ve easily rejected him, bringing Lucy with her instead.

However, despite the luxurious rewards, she kept the only loyal person, who had followed her from the Sinclair family, not by her side, but back on Earth to participate in the battle.

Eryndor merely became an extremely convenient excuse for Lilian to keep Lucy on Earth, else it would’ve been suspicious had she not tried to get her loyal members on board for the juicy rewards.

Liliana had been hurting Ken and Hellen all along just so that their condition would be bad, pitiful, and distressing to look at.

It was done all along to create emotional turmoil in Calix’s mind.

The greater and longer the pain inflicted on the couple, the greater Calix’s emotional turmoil would be upon witnessing their form.

Because, this was where the Mystical Artifact stepped in.

The Mystical Artifact - Bracelet of Submission, demanded absolute submission from the target, depending on the intensity of emotional instability they were exhibiting.

Their goal was never to kill Calix, but to make him submit.

This would also explain the quick ambush part.

According to Calix’s personality, he would never give up till even the smallest of hope was left.

If the ambush didn’t arrive on time to suppress the weakened him, there was a high probability that he would counterattack Lucy.

Calix would be sure of the safety of Ken and Hellen, since the opposite party had kept them alive till this point, they would continue to keep them alive if they wanted his submission.

Calix would try until the very end, but it could also be that he might submit given his sister’s state.

Apparently though, Lucian and Liliana didn’t want to leave things up to chance.

They wanted to be extremely sure of Calix’s submission. This was also why the ambush was that important.

A man as strong as Calix needed several contingency plans to forcefully be contained.

This was where Eryndor felt confused.

According to the unclear explanation by Hellen, Calix’s ability made him grow stronger the more the people he had under him.

But the Mage Outer Domain would never let a human from Earth manage the city in their stead, and if they knew of his ability, they would even kill him as soon as possible.

No, what if the Mage Outer Domain didn’t know of his ability? What if Lucian was a human of Earth, and he and Mage Outer Domain were cooperating?

But what use did Lucian have of Calix? Assuming the former knew of the latter’s ability, did he want Calix on his side to take revenge against Pat Ravencroft?

But then why would the Mage Outer Domain cooperate with Lucian to this extent? What did he give them?

Eryndor quickly discarded this idea, it felt like he was forcing things too much.

Just then, he got a message from Erin.

Why would senior Erin message me?

Nevertheless, he still opened it.

Erin: Here’s a small welcome gift from my side, I’ll give an actual one later.

"All the removable physique extensions for the soldiers and citizens who are forced to participate in the battle are filled with curses towards the Eldritch Entity - Shx’Trelith, such that it will make that entity extremely mad.

"But based on a few mechanisms I’ve come across, if the Shx’Trelith indeed comes across these extensions and sees the curses, it will only render the host paralyzed, fully incapable of doing anything. There is no danger to life."

As soon as Eryndor read the message, all the dots connected in his mind.

Disregarding the first line about a welcome gift, which confused him, the rest of the information was simply the final piece he needed.

Literally every piece of information fell beautifully in place like a jigsaw puzzle, forming a terrifying hypothesis in his mind.
