Hanging on to Eosβs body, Elgorath was no longer holding back from using the powers of the second dimension, because without it, he and Xyris would not be able to do enough damage.
They were meant to be fighting at the back lines and not directly with a brute like Eos, but what made this even worse was that from a distance, they may have had a much harder time containing him, as Eos had proven many times over that although he favoured the blade, it did not mean that his mastery over spells was shallow.
Elgorath knew that there was a possibility of Eos finding out about the second dimension, the more they fought, but he believed that if he could suppress Eos, then it was possible to wipe out a portion of his memories.
Normally, something like this should not work for an immortal of Eosβs stature, but if Elgorath uses the power of the Parallel realities, he could swap memories with Eosβs other selves, and since Eos was not aware of these parallel realities, he would not be able to discern that his mind had been tampered with.
But first, he had to break this stubborn bastard down to size, and Elgorath would do this with pleasure.
Golden claws raked across Eosβs chest, peeling flesh in long strips, so that they hung like ragged banners. His ribs were exposed, showing his heaving lungs, and Eos could even feel the cold emanations from the shattered space of the hollow on his internal organs.
Pain was a constant roar now in his senses, and this pain was both barbaric and unrelenting. A part of him knew that he should not be undergoing this trial, and there were easier ways to battle, but that part of him was quickly suppressed.
A hunter who shouts before he shoots would always return home empty-handed. In order to know the full scale of the conspiracy, he needed to be in this position, and he needed all the Ancient Primordials to be here; only then would he be able to push ahead with his plans... anything else, and he was going to lose this opportunity.
Yet, his enemies, especially Elgorath was not making it easy for him, as he was not only tearing his body to pieces but also whispering corrupted memories into his ear, at least this was what he would like Eos to believe but by now, he was becoming more familiar with the operations of the sixth dimension, and Elgorath was the best teacher he could ever ask for... in the entirety of Existence, it was hard for him to be able to find a second person who would be able to reveal as much secrets of the sixth dimension than Primordial Memory.
In the alternate realities that Elgorath was showing him, Eos could see visions of a child dying countless times, and they were all him; he saw Existences crumbling, and with the power of the sixth dimension, he was forced to relive all of these visions as physical wounds.
One especially powerful memory that shattered a hundred Existence was like a slash that tore across the surface of his weakened abdomen, spilling intestines in hot loops, and another cut across his face, splitting cheek to bone.
Despite the grievous damage he was suffering, Eos was taking the time to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the sixth dimension and could understand how much he would have suffered without having any knowledge of this power.
