Seeing the opportunity, Steve immediately closed the gap as he poured in even more mana into both the suit and the sword.
In doing so, the sword began to glow as it grew even larger. Closing the gap between them, Steve slashed out in a downward motion as the creature tried to block it.
Soon, they were both on the floor. One dead and the other sleeping from Mana Exhaustion and over use of Physical Strengthening.
"Creator!!" the automata shouted as they gathered around the two bodies.
"Master?" one of them asked as it touched his body
"He's asleep, heal him" one of them, it was an automaton in a knight Armour and the initial one, Steve had created.
Following its words, two of the Automata stepped up before pointing their hands towards him as Steve's body began to glow.
His suit was damaged beyond repair and his body was twisted in an abnormal way. Barely hanging on to his life.
As their healing light touched him, the broken bones immediately began to return to their original spots.
[Hello Mr Grant!] a voice called out but none answered.
[Steve?!]
[Fucking hell, get that manual, his suit is supposed to show his vitals right, read it and show them to me] the voice ordered
Meanwhile some of the other Automata worked to skin the demon. They skillfully skinned it, separated its blood and its meat.
It was a practice they had done many times in the past however, it had never been done on such a creature but the Creator must eat when he awakens.

1st POV
"The Creator is awake!" I heard a loud voice announce before a series of loud shouts were heard.
Finally managing to open my eyes wide enough to see what was happening, I saw two of the Healer-type Automata I created standing above him with their palms stretched out before me.
"I won?" I asked as I shot up from the bed
Looking around me, I couldn't see the demon's body anyway which meant I had slept for a long time. Mana Exhaustion was known to put people in what was essentially a coma if it also involved excessive physical exhaustion.
"I won, right?" I asked
"Yes, my creator, you won against the demon" the first knight automata answered as it got down on its knees.
"Hell yeah, I beat an S-ranked creature on my own!" I shouted
"Hey, Jin Chul, I just beat my first S-ranked creature on my own" I shouted into the earpiece in joy.
Thankfully, it didn't fall off from my body during the fight. As soon as the connection was established, I could hear shouting and various cusses flowing all around.
"Mr Jin Chul, what's going on?"
[Mr Grant?!] Jin Chul replied, finally noticing the call.
"Yeah, what happened?"
[Oh thank God, we thought you were dead but the gate didn't return to normal so we were hoping for the best]
"Oh I see, anyway I just beat my first S-rank creature, it said they were 'Ut Jin', I don't know if that helps your identification, they do look like fire demons in Anime though" I rambled
