I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 134 : Words on yellow paper
Eryndor's brows furrowed as soon as he heard what was in that direction.
Abyss? Why would they want me to push towards the abyss of this secret realm? Do they want to kill me?
His gaze turned a bit dangerous as he looked at the bodies which didn't show any signs of waking up.
They were knocked out by people who were far above them in terms of strength. With controlled techniques and the gap in prowess, they would stay unconscious for a long time unless they had truly abnormal resistance.
Valentina also had a concerned look on her face as she gazed at the people who had come to attack Eryndor.
Hesitantly, she suggested Eryndor.
"I think we should eliminate these people. In that way, even if they wake up, they wouldn't be able to sabotage you.
"Because if we leave them as it is, there are high chances they would come after you if the reward you spoke of is high enough."
In this tournament, there was a mechanism which teleported a person beside Guardian Sol if the damage on them passed a certain threshold.
It was so that students wouldn't die or be critically injured in this realm.
Unless it was a truly abnormal circumstance where some hidden monster or an anomaly which managed to slip away from the Federation's cleansing of the secret realm had attacked the students, they would have no chance to get back into the tournament after being eliminated.

Eryndor was reluctant to let them get away like this. Elimination was practically an easy way out for what they had done.
He didn't know why they wanted to push him towards the Abyss, but it was said that no one had returned from there. Then wasn't it obvious that they were out to kill him?
Of course, there were agents stationed around the Abyss, but if the mastermind was really some high ranking member of the Human Federation, it would be easy for them to control these agents.
With anger bubbling inside him, he nodded at Valentina.
"Eliminate them."
He carefully remembered the faces of everyone. Even if it was for some rewards, it was still their mistake they came after him.
Once they were out of this secret realm, they should be ready to pay for their actions.
Without any hesitation, he swung his spiked mace at the overturned body of the stage three unconscious man.
If the attack was burst damage which would kill in one shot, or if it was a poison which would kill or cripple with a hundred percent guarantee, you would be teleported out before those attacks landed on you.
Whatever array formation, or Mystical Artifact was used to enforce these set of rules was truly a wonder.
Valentina didn't attack, but looked at Eryndor as he brought down his mace.
A nasty squelch was heard along with a thud as the spiked mace directly hit the spine.
This amount of damage was enough to wake the man as he cried out loud. Eryndor quickly used the lightning version of Sky Piercing Palm to stun him.
But his cry had already jolted a few. No one woke up completely, but a few bodies jerked still.
He didn't teleport? Was the damage insufficient? His breath has already turned weaker though.
Without suspecting anything, Eryndor swung his mace again, this time on the head. It would hundred percent be life threatening that way.
Up until the last moment when Eryndor's mace finally made contact with the body, it didn't teleport.
Yes. It didn't.
The skull shattered like a watermelon.
Eryndor had truly put enough force into it to be judged as a life threatening attack, but what happened?
It truly took his life.
Valentina gasped softly, her fists clenched by her side, as if she was controlling herself.
Eryndor softly murmured, as if coming to a realization.
"Teleportation has been turned off?"
Valentina matched eyes with him, both of them coming realizing what this meant.
The group were about to push Eryndor into the abyss even if it meant killing him and dumping the body!
Sure, there could be other reasons, but the teleportation just had to be turned off now? When Eryndor confronted this group?
Valentina still remembered seeing notifications of eliminations on the website just a while ago.
The teleportation was working completely fine, else an announcement would've been sent long ago.
It just had to be turned off at this moment? Did that not mean it was truly connected to this incident?
To Eryndor's astonishment, Valentina didn't say anything, but swiftly began killing the students.
Without saying a word, he joined in. Within a few seconds, nine corpses lay on the ground, blood pooling around, staining the surroundings red.
Silently, as if in tacit agreement, both of them began burying the corpses far away from the current location.
It was because Edward clearly knew this was the place where their fight took place. If the bodies were found here itself, no one knew if he would keep his mouth shut.
After meticulously hiding the traces, both of them wandered off to some entirely different place.
When enough time had passed, to break the ice, Eryndor took out the yellow paper and displayed it to Valentina.
He didn't show her the wordings, but the blank side.
He held it up to her with the words facing him, and the backside to her.
No matter how trustworthy she had proven herself to be, this was too close of a secret to him.
"Please use Edward's ability on this paper, and regress its 'state'. Stop when I tell you to."
Eryndor spoke the last line because he didn't want the paper to regress to the point of being completely new and blank.
She nodded, not choosing to comment on his secretive actions of not displaying the words. Everyone had a few secrets which they wouldn't even share with their loved ones.
Only a select few with transcendent bonds would share everything between each other. But a possibility of that in this era was truly too low.
As she began deploying her ability, Eryndor finally saw the blurry words turn clearer on the yellow paper.
