As he typed out his ssage, Eryndor thought over his decision of letting Sander stay outside the secret realm.
Yes, it's the right call.
I can't let him apprehend Co-founder Morris just yet. The Federation wouldn't pass any harsh judgnt on him with just those four papers as a proof.
That person knows about my eldritch identity, he needs to die. I can only wait for more things to crop up before catching him in one move.
As he went through all the clues to see if he missed anything, he sent the ssage to Sander.
It was about asking him for all the information of Co-founder Morris.
Sander: "Wait a few minutes, I'll compile the information and send it in a package."
Eryndor: "Thank you."
Finally, he kept the phone in his pocket and took a deep breath. All that needed to be done on his side was completed.
Now he only needed to wait for responses from Dr. Ralph and Sander. He hoped to make a breakthrough in the situation with the new information he would get from them.
"There's a beast in front of us. Let's take a detour."
He alerted his team mbers, and changed his direction. However, Valentina interjected just then.
"Wait, I told you there was more to these two snakes than just Yin Yang Convergence, right? Targeting a beast would be suitable to demonstrate the other ability of the two snakes.
"I an, not necessarily compulsory. But the visual explanation is pleasing and easier to understand. You getting ? Is it okay if we spend a few minutes?"
Eryndor didn't even have to think before nodding his head. He definitely wanted to witness more aspects about the two snakes.
"Is it a weak one?"
She asked. Eryndor sensed through his extended vision and answered. "From its size, it looks like it is around the mid stage of Latent realm."
"Is it one of the beasts which grows larger the stronger it grows?" Edward asked.
He nodded.
"No wonder you looked at the size to deduce its stage and realm." Edward smiled.
Eryndor turned to Valentina.
"Is this new ability not as strong as Yin Yang Convergence?
"I an, no offense, but no other reason you'll ask if it's a weak one, right?"
The young woman smiled.
"Well, you've certainly hit the mark.
"Both my snakes are currently at the peak stage of Latent realm.
"The individual spheres of the white and black snake have damage at the peak stage of Latent realm.
"The Yin Yang Convergence has damage at the peak stage of the Stable realm.
"And—"
Edward's eye shot up as he interrupted. "Wait, Yin Yang Convergence is that powerful?
"I knew it was powerful when it killed Kron in one move despite him using that weapon to block, but he was also injured heavily you know, I didn't think it was this deadly."
Valentina smiled. "Yes, it indeed has that level of damage, and I'm just taking a lower estimate. If I take the highest estimate, it might even have enough damage to barely touch the initial stage of Active realm."
"Wow." Eryndor softly uttered.
That was really powerful. Eryndor wondered just how broken was Valentina's luck to get the two snakes. He knew how difficult it was to punch above your level.
To hit a complete realm above your current standing? Those snakes were pretty broken alright.
Of course, as their realm increased it would be more and more difficult to punch above their own level, not to ntion jumping an entire realm, but it was still an impressive feat.
"Let finish—" Valentina cut them off, and continued.
"The third ability, well, I'll show you. I can sense that beast as well now."
They jogged a bit further until the beast entered their sight.
It was a horned beast which looked like a scaled buffalo. Its blood red eyes imdiately locked on to them as it kicked its hind legs in the air and charged towards them.
The two of them watched as both the snakes on Valentina's hand began glowing white.
Does the third ability need them to enlarge?
Eryndor thought but quickly took back his guess when he saw that their size didn't seem to be expanding.
Instead, the two thread-like glowing snakes closed distance between each other before apparently what seed to be rging into one.
When the glowing receded, Eryndor saw that there was only a single slightly thicker snake resting on top of her hand.
Just like the line which appeared a few milliseconds before the Yin Yang Convergence acted on Kron, the snake's skin was segnted in black and white colors.
Damn, rging? I haven't heard of it in any of the information I've read up till now.
The beast was almost closing on them when the snake opened its mouth.
What appeared wasn't the familiar spheres, but a thick beam of black and white light, slamming straight into the incoming beast.
The beast let out a loud cry as it tried changing direction, but the beam of light followed it without any delay, completely slicing through its head over ti, until it stopped moving.
"What was that?" Edward whispered.
Caressing the head of the black and white snake, Valentina answered.
"I've nad this Yin Yang Beam. It only has penetration power equal to that of a stage seven of Latent realm despite the snake itself being at stage nine.
"But there's one good thing about it. Unlike the spheres, this beam is a continuous attack and consus much less energy."
"That's impressive." Eryndor marvelled, while Edward nodded. Neither of them had ever heard of rging, just that fact alone was enough for them to appreciate the snakes.
Just how rare must the phenonon be that the Federation had no information on it yet?
After the short interlude, the three of them continued jogging onwards.
A few minutes later Eryndor's phone pinged. He took it out to see that Sander had sent a ssage.
"Here is all the information related to Morris."
"Thank you."
He displayed gratitude and opened the information package sent by Sander.
It would've been difficult to read while running if cultivating hadn't provided him with enhanced body control and reflexes, which helped him keep the phone far more stable than if he was a normal young man.
He dutifully navigated the team in avoiding all the beast through his extended vision while also reading everything about Morris.
At this point he had gotten rather used to extended vision, but he still couldn't make progress in controlling the ability any further like how he could in his second form.
It took him nearly two hours to go through all the information. Suffice to say, most of it was useless.
There were so which were worth rembering, but a few especially stood out, and could potentially be of use in his current situation.
It was written in the information how Morris had helped Kron and even given gifts to appreciate his talent. So there is indeed a connection between them.
Well, he already suspected this part, so it could be said that the information package only confird it. However, there was another piece of information in there.
It wasn't anything new, Sander had ntioned it to him in the past. But he had forgotten about that until he ca across it again here.
It ntions how Co-founder Morris made friends with Guardian Sol after returning from the secret realm.
It is written how that man sent gifts, sparred with him, trained together, invited Guardian Sol to discuss skills and also other things like having a al.
It was weird enough that people felt he might be gay.
Eryndor furrowed his brow when he read this part.
I rember guessing that Co-founder Morris might be targeting Guardian Sol as well but there wasn't any proof.
He felt like it because there was an inconsistency in Co-founder Morris' action.
That guy clearly needed information on the tournant.
It was important enough that he ended up failing three tis by arranging three layers of chanisms, none of which managed to take him to the abyss due to the wrong information.
First were the Terramorph Ravagers, or any other beast out there where he might've teleported.
Second was that group of nine students.
Third was Kron.
Did Co-founder Morris go through so much effort of making friends with Guardian Sol, electing him to be the presiding administrator of the tournant, all to end up not having Guardian Sol share with him the information about the tournant?
Did he never think of the possibility that Guardian Sol wouldn't share the information with him?
It couldn't be, right?
Which ant there was a greater reason behind his actions.
If getting information about the tournant was his only goal, with his power, he would've elected himself as the presiding judge of the tournant.
There had to be a greater goal behind everything, so other reason why he chose Guardian Sol. Such that getting information about the tournant beca a secondary objective.
When he viewed things from this perspective, Eryndor more and more felt like Guardian Sol might have so role in everything going around as well.
Maybe Co-founder Morris was targeting Guardian Sol?
Maybe Guardian Sol had so part in the deal?
Maybe Co-founder Morris needed Guardian Sol to fulfill sothing of his own part in the deal?
Or was sothing else taking place? He didn't know.
He recalled both of their abilities.
Guardian Sol's ability is Fortification, which is incredibly useful in defense.
Co-founder Morris' ability is transformation.
What could Guardian Sol's role be?
