Chereads / The Architect [Solo Leveling] / Chapter 30 - Automaton

Chapter 30 - Automaton

Normally he would just run through them but now things were different, as soon as he approached the golem, it immediately raised its fists as it tried to attack, however Steve immediately manoeuvred his way to the top of the creature. 

"Stop" Steve commanded as the creature immediately stopped in its tracks. 

He had simply seized the creature's ability to move using his ability. It was just a lava golem, molten rock… There was nothing it could do to not submit to his control. 

Since its movement was frozen, Steve immediately located its control core. Like many golems in fiction, it was located in its chest. 

Pulling it out, Steve was faced with a rather large orb thingy. On the orb, he could see several carvings that all seemed to serve various purposes. 

"Movement, Mana absorption, element manipulation… Is it that easy, even Trainer is more complex than this" Steve complained as he immediately enforced his will on the orb. 

This erased all previous commands as he began programming his into it. To create Trainor, he had not only learnt normal programming but had applied it to the magical world of mana crafting, this was nothing. 

"Wait, how was I able to read those carvings?" Steve asked himself before shrugging it off, he had never heard Korean anywhere else apart from Kdramas and here he was speaking the language. 

After a few seconds later, Steve dropped the orb into the lava again then moved back to create some space between them. 

As soon as the orb touched the lava, Steve felt a massive amount of mana gathering around it. It was like a whirlpool of mana. 

Seconds later, the orb rose into the air, as the lava began gathering around it as it formed a humanoid figure. 

The figure matched that of a human extremely well, the lava cooled to form what looked like a skeleton then some muscles around the skeleton and finally flesh. 

Of course, all was still stone but Steve felt that something was different. The new Stone Golem possessed mana beyond even his and looked way stronger than he was. 

"I'm built different" Steve praised himself before scanning the golem.

"Creator" the creature spoke as it got on its knees

"Shit!... You can talk?" Steve asked after jumping in shock. 

"I can, my lord" 

"I see, well then, Here" Steve said as he handed him the sword that was on his back.

A/N: For the confused, yes, programming is a difficult thing to learn but Hunters are smarter, faster and just better than the average human so I hope you understand why this would be possible
