I am an Eldritch Entity

Chapter 118: Related abilities?

Eryndor resolved to think about it later, intending to watch the demonstration first.

Dr. Ralph was explaining how the array formation worked.

"This array formation is small, so it will be a bit inconvenient. If there were more people we would need to make a bigger version of this.

"But well, it’s just us two, so it doesn’t matter much really."

He pointed to a specific part of the array formation.

"Place your hand here."

The second year student proceeded to follow the instruction, while Dr. Ralph placed his hand on another spot.

Within a moment, the array formation began glowing faintly.

Without anyone having to ask him, the young man spoke up.

"Yes! I feel it. I feel the infusion of energy of Consciousness. But ughh..it’s painful. It —"

Dr. Ralph was quick to interrupt him.

"Stop talking. You can’t hold extra energy of Consciousness, use your ability and consume the energy so that the pain lessens."

The young man nodded and quickly conjured fire on his palm.

So that’s his ability? Well...

Eryndor thought.

He had been around rather...less simple abilities, it was probably his first time witnessing a simple element based ability.

Dr. Ralph asked the young man.

"Can you use the energy of Consciousness I transferred over?"

Eryndor could see the nervousness hidden within the researcher’s eyes. He was, in truth, worried whether his project would finally be successful. It hadn’t been easy.

The second year student hesitated, but truthfully revealed.

"I don’t feel which energy is yours."

There was a moment of silence before Dr. Ralph laughed.

"Success! Success! Hahaha. Young lad, you couldn’t feel which one was mine, doesn’t that mean you can freely use them?"

The student raised his eyebrows, coming to a realization. It wasn’t that he was dumb, but he simply went through a moment of cognitive inertia.

When the researcher asked if he could use the energy he had transferred, due to cognitive inertia, the same pattern of thinking led him to instinctively search for the researcher’s energy—only to immediately register its absence before questioning anything else.

But could two entities have overlapping authorities? Eryndor didn’t know.

Let’s just assume that it is indeed pointing towards me.

The following thought was naturally back to square one.

If ’The Guardian Against The End’ truly referred to his Sovereign’s Cloak, did that mean the second line referred to his second ability?

The Veil Beyond Perception...hmmm...what could it mean?

Was it some disguise related ability? Or something related to hiding?

Then the third line -The Law That No Will May Overturn.

What could it mean?

What ability could correspond with the third line? Is it like setting rules?

This third line confused Eryndor the most, as the fourth line didn’t need much thought.

The Sovereign Of Unwritten Fate.

Something related to fate huh. Sounds exciting.

If these revered appellations truly pointed to him and his guesses were indeed correct, he couldn’t wait to truly unlock these abilities.

And I seem to have some authority which involves being able to remove the mark of ownership over energy of Consciousness?

How great.

With a light sigh, Eryndor continued heading towards his villa. It was a rather enlightening day for him, allowing him to know about himself, if his guesses were true in the first place that is.

There was no one at the villa when he returned.

They’re still busy huh.

With a shake of his head, Eryndor went to his room.

Only around fifteen days left, I need to increase my stage as quickly as possible.

For the next fortnight, he settled back into his previous routine.

Finally, on the day before bi-annual tournament, a message was sent to the students.

It was about who would preside over the tournament.

Eryndor instantly recognised the person.

Oh? It’s him?
