I am an Eldritch Entity

Eryndor really wanted to try his maximum range, but he couldn't just suddenly ask everyone to just wait for an hour or two.

That was the amount of time required for him to regain some respectable degree of Energy of Consciousness after draining it in the process of testing his maximum range of extended vision.

He would also likely get knocked out if he didn't stubbornly hold on, which meant it would be better to do it at night when him being knocked out could be attributed to his sleep.

What if I use my eldritch form to calculate my maximum range?

Eryndor didn't wait for long after deciding upon that.

He broke away from his team after a random excuse and ran far enough to not be in anyone's range.

The direction he went in happened to have a Stable realm beast, but he still decided to just go through with his decision.

What can it even do to me in my eldritch form?

As the beast charged at him, Eryndor finally switched to his second form.

Immediately, his presence shifted.

It became something heavier.

As if something which demanded more attention.

Something which the universe gave higher importance to.

The beast didn't realise what it was charging at until it arrived in a range of a few meters around Eryndor.

Extreme terror gripped its heart. Fear immediately took over every thought which was going through its mind.

Coming to an immediate stop, the beast gazed at the being in front of it with a mix of terror and reverence in its eyes.

Eryndor's attention wasn't on the beast at all.

As soon as he shifted to his second form, he immediately went to work.

When he was in his eldritch form, it was as if his brain worked much more efficiently.

As mentioned before, even his use of abilities became countless times better than when he was in his human form.

His extended vision was already spreading rapidly through the area.

His use of Energy of Consciousness wasn't as high as when he would normally extend his range of vision.

Why? Because he was withholding some parts.

Imagine this.

Normally, in his human form, Eryndor stood at a point, and his extended vision would then spread outward like a circle.

Now though, from the point he was standing, innumerable spikes of extended vision were being launched in all directions.

Naturally, there would be some space between every spike, which allowed him to conserve his Energy of Consciousness.

This way, he was technically pushing his extended vision in each direction, so there would be no bias in his data, and he was also saving his Energy of Consciousness.

His range kept on extending.

It covered his own team, and the other three which were still heading in the direction where Team Ricky was supposed to be.

This information about Team Ricky's location was given by Team Yu.

Of course, it was true. Since the terms of the contract stated that one couldn't deceive the others when it came to anything which could be regarded as dealing with Team Ricky and the other two.

Which meant no one could lie about things would be required in dealing with Team Ricky, Jonathan, or Lance.

Of course, they could choose to just not answer the question.

This item was made through an ability of one of the members of the Human Federation.

Eryndor's range of vision extended even further. It went past the small hills, trees, big stones, and other obstacles as well.

He could even see the rundown structure of the maze trap they had built. Their team hadn't bothered demolishing it, except for removing and taking back the items which were still in working condition.

His vision glanced over the massive pit which was still filled to the brim with dead remains of the Ice Oxen.

Eryndor could only imagine the terrible smell wafting around in that area, it was a good thing they camped far away.

His extended vision even passed over that spot where they stayed for two nights.

It crossed the Support Shrine number thirty seven, the one where they had met Paulina and Syndra, and also the one which he visited to teleport to the closest Support Shrine near the entrance.

Eryndor's range kept extending over several places with an absolutely breathtaking speed.

Finally, at a certain point, it stopped.

It wouldn't extend no matter, not even if he consumed more Energy of Consciousness.

After taking a good look at the entire area covered by his extended vision, Eryndor reigned it all in and switched back to his human form.

The Stable realm beast had run away long ago due to the terror which kept stacking up in its soul.

The weight which it experienced upon its very existence was absolutely suffocating as it couldn't help but want to escape far away from the entity before it.

Eryndor gasped as he usually did as soon as he switched back to his human form.

Even after switching to his eldritch form so many times, he simply couldn't get used to it.

Once he was over it, what came next was a big surprise.

This feeling of being pleasantly surprised would absolutely not be possible while he was in his eldritch form.

His maximum range would just be viewed as a new, updated statistic which could be made use of efficiently.

In his human form though?

He could be absolutely surprised, and joyous about it. Closing his eyes, he envisioned the total range which his extended vision could reach through the ability to Cognitive Scrying.

As the higher realm ability, it was only right to use its extended vision over the extended vision brought about as a result of using Telekinesis, which was still a realm lower.

Cognitive Scrying was at Enhanced realm, at level four, and Telekinesis was at Active realm, which was level three of this power system.

His previous maximum range was barely a bit more than the size of a town.

Now?

It was the size of a city.
