I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 243: A reality check

When Eryndor heard Dr. Kirchoff's last sentence, nothing could be seen on his face, but his thoughts did get more active.

Does that mean he doesn't know about the Mind Palace but somehow knows something like that should exist?

There wasn't much time for him to think as Dr. Kirchoff spoke again.

"You should know that, right? Yea.

"So, why didn't you still practice your abilities day and night every chance you got?

"Scared of exposure? You could've done it on a small scale, no one would've known.

"What about Passive Regeneration?

"Stable realm? It's not a fucking surprise anymore.

"I bet a pussy like you cowered away every time you thought of upgrading that ability."

Dr. Kirchoff stood up and resumed. It seemed like he had a lot to say.

As if he had invested a lot only to see the stock keep plummeting. Who wouldn't get angry at that?

"You had a three day break before the wheel battles began.

"You were perfectly fine.

"Why didn't you take up a mission to kill beasts?

"You could've used your Cognitive Scrying on them, then proceeded to kill them for your Sovereign's Cloak to grow.

"But you didn't.

"Mental fatigue? Exhaustion? Tired?

"It's all in your fucking comfort filled mind.

"When you've never worked hard or pushed yourself to the limit of course you'll feel every bit of exertion as something over the top and stressful.

"Threat of life? You went through a threat to your life so it exhausted you? Soldiers fighting at the front lines face it every moment.

"Guess what? They still work hard every waking moment of their lives just so that others could live in peace.

He bent down, and scolded.

"You took a rest after that Rite Of Authority Severance, did you not?

"What did you even do in that?

"Because I bet it was the black smoke which saved your pathetic existence again.

"What was the need to rest when you didn't do anything yourself?

"Feeling lethargic? Tired?

"Why so many excuses?

"You could have even increased your control of energies.

"It's not a deliberate limitation put on you because of that insane control handed to you right off the bat.

"It's simply a natural resistance everyone faces when they reach fifty percent control.

"But you couldn't even break through that.

"Sure, it wasn't something easy, but it was still possible if you put the absolute highest amount of effort and focus into it.

"You had that in you."

There was extreme disappointment in his tone when he said that last line.

Eryndor almost felt ashamed just by listening to that.

Dr. Kirchoff didn't let up though.

"You take a goddamn rest every chance you get.

"Been through a battle? Rest.

"Used your eldritch form? Rest.

"Thought a lot? Rest.

"Practiced a little? Rest.

"Why do you never push your limits?

"Are you thinking about your roommates? About how they are similarly talented and do nothing?

"You're wrong. They're not as talented as you, but they put countless times more effort.

"Paulina spends all day at the library or reading books at villa.

"She keeps researching new spell models every chance she gets.

"Drakarion wears weighted locks even in his sleep.

"He trains his body at extreme temperatures in the Academy training room every time he isn't in the lecture or in the villa cooking for himself.

"Valentina is devoting her all to rush through the realms without any breaks.

"She keeps practicing with her snakes in the training rooms to perfect the coordination down to the last millisecond.

"You already know her Yin snake's potential was nerfed because of you, right? To save your weak ass she contracted the beast early in the first realm.

"It's just an early sign of being a burden, and I sure as hell don't want to raise a goddamn lazy potato."

When he spoke the last line, it was as if something snapped in his head.

Clenching his fist, he spoke in a low volume.

"Yes, I don't want to raise a weak ass shit. I need to take matters into my own hands.

"I've given you enough free reign, but you just turned out to be a disappointment on top of disappointment."

Suddenly, the scenery around them changed.

Gone was the pitch black void all around them.

Replacing them was a blanket of hazy colors passing by at a high speed, as if they were travelling somewhere.

A flash of white light abruptly hit his eyes, forcing him to close them.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a lush green forest.

Gradually, it was as if they were being raised higher, allowing Eryndor to see more of the forest from above as the height kept increasing.

At a certain point, he saw a gigantic building in the distance. Weirdly dressed people entered in and out every moment.

Eryndor was observing everything, enduring the pain in his ribs.

Probably because his Passive Regeneration was working all this time, it was hurting less than before.

It was a good thing he hadn't exhausted his Energy of Consciousness like Qi and Spiritual energy, else the pain his ribs wouldn't have even let him think all this while.

Just as he was looking around, Dr. Kirchoff broke the silence.

"Guess what place this is?"

Eryndor narrowed his eyes and thoroughly scanned the place. freewebnσvel.cøm

There was a few seconds of silence as Dr. Kirchoff allowed Eryndor to think and answer.

The young man hesitantly spoke.

"Cultivation base?"

They taught about the Eight Outer Domains in the lectures of the Academy.

Even if you didn't attend those, there were plenty of books in the library and information on the academy's website about them.

Using all that knowledge, he found a few similarities, hence he answered.

Dr. Kirchoff tilted his head, and answered with a smile, one which unnerved Eryndor.

As if the man was up to no good.

"You're only partially correct.

"This is indeed related to those cultivators, but this is not their base on earth.

"This is the Cultivation Outer Domain itself.

"You'll live here from now on."
