Eryndor thanked Syndra then paced around the room.
He had rembered one thing when Syndra was talking about the Lucian kid.
It was that Liliana had run away from ho because her parents forced her into a marriage.
If she had hated her forced marriage to this extent, there was no way the one she frequently chatted with was her fiance. No?
I an, nothing is impossible, but there is sothing else which is more probable.
He rembered Syndra saying that Liliana had run off to the city of Polinek when she was running away from ho.
Maybe this was when this Lucian kid and Liliana t?
Feeling extrely embarrassed, he asked Syndra once again.
"When Liliana ran off to Polinek city, was Lucian present there as well?"
"Wait, do you an the one in her chats isn’t her fiance but this Lucian? How?"
Eryndor had been asking her about everything, knowing all of that, even soone stupid would be able to make the connections.
"I don’t know, I am not sure yet. Just look up the information please."
Shortly after, she sent a ssage.
"Lucian was indeed present in the city when Liliana arrived in Polinek. His mom and sister had just died back then.
"Oh, Liliana and Lucian were of the sa age. Maybe they developed a friendship because of it? Sa mindsets you know."
As usual, she gave more information than necessary, but he didn’t stop her.
Thanking her for nth ti, he resud his deductions.
There is a higher and higher chance that this was indeed the Lucian she was chatting with.
That also explains how he left the city without being recorded by the authorities.
Would the authorities dare check the angry Sinclairs who had just paid a heavy ransom to recover Liliana?
Liliana might have most likely helped him out of the city when she herself was forced to leave the city and return to her family.
Things are making sense now.
He silently thought, before sothing clicked in his mind.
But wait, why is he after Calix then?
It was not Calix who had done sothing to his family after all.
Fortunately, this information was rather easy to get.
In the next eting, he made so small talk with Ken and Hellen who always sat beside him.
Arriving back in his room later that night, he took out a Qi Gathering pill and sat on the bed.
Before beginning his cultivation, he went over the information he got from them.
Indeed, Calix had never visited Polinek in those years.
There’s no reason for Lucian to target Calix.
According to Eryndor, Lucian should be targeting Pat Ravencroft who would be leading the defense battle against the Mage Outer Domain.
Then why were Liliana and Lucian fixated on capturing Calix alive?
The answer to this lies entirely in Calix. There’s no other way left.
Eryndor glanced at the calendar.
Only a few days left till we reach the last checkpoint planet.
There were hardly any leads left, the only important breakthrough he could have in regards to this situation was by getting more information on Calix.
And rather than going to Syndra, he had a better source of information right here.
He had already decided to et Ken and Hellen on the fourth planet. Anonymously.
Eryndor imrsed himself in cultivation for the next few days.
Liliana kept using her ntal attack at every eting, but Eryndor was always able to block it.
When they finally arrived at the fourth planet, they went through the usual procedures before stepping foot on the planet.
Eryndor glanced around at the surroundings, then headed towards a certain location according to the map of the planet he had morized.
He had to get there before Ken and Hellen would arrive.
Since all the mbers had a general map of the planet, it was easy for him to let Ken and Hellen know where to arrive when he had sent the white paper.
When he ca to the location, there was already a beast resting, which had likely woken up after sensing him.
The unexpected thing was that the beast was in the early stage of Stable realm, which was the second level of the beast power system.
Thankfully, it isn’t a problem for anymore.
What Eryndor did wasn’t fight it imdiately, but switched to his second form.
Hints of fear appeared in the beast’s eyes as it gazed at the human before him. It didn’t understand the source of this fear.
It wasn’t power. It was sothing greater.
Sothing fundantal.
Sothing primal.
Sothing which was tied to the very fabric of existence.
But likely due to the difference in realms, it didn’t completely give in to the fear.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to face the monster before him.
Eryndor could feel the massive power of his Eldritch abilities flowing through him as he raised his hand at the beast half-paralyzed in fear.
The power of Telekinesis was effortlessly dispatched at his command, acting upon the skull of the beast.
Before the creature could realize anything, its skull was crushed in itself due to the enormous outside force.
He had realized long ago that this form seed to be considerably stronger. It drilled into him the fact about how inefficiently he was using his Eldritch abilities in his base form.
Or rather, how blocked the Eldritch abilities were in his base form. Just like how his cultivation related abilities seed to be impeded in his second form.
When he sensed the arrival of the two people through his extended vision, he summoned the Sovereign’s Cloak to appear above his battle suit.
With his refined control over his abilities, he expanded the Cloak until it fully enveloped his body, concealing his battle suit beneath its shrouded folds.
Even his hoodie now draped lower, casting a shadow over his face and keeping it hidden from view.
Golden runes resurfaced on the Cloak’s black fabric, faintly glowing beneath the dense forest canopy.
Wisps of black smoke curled upwards from the Cloak, their inky tendrils accentuating the luminous brilliance of the runes.
Eryndor’s presence seed to beco heavier with passing ti as he repeatedly thought in his head about possessing the identity of an Eldritch Entity.
Lastly, a faint outline of a majestic Golden Crown appeared over his head, shimring slightly, as if in excitent.
Eventually, the two of them arrived.
Their eyes lay fixated on the incomprehensible existence before them.
