Chereads / The Architect [Solo Leveling] / Chapter 39 - "Clear!"

Chapter 39 - "Clear!"

3rd POV

"Kill the human"

Sitting on a throne, a creature could be seen. Its large figure covered the entire throne, beside it were various other creatures like it. 

It was an Ut Jin, however unlike the others around it, it possessed a horn that grew large and tall, its size eclipsed that of its brothers and sisters. 

[There is a human in our presence, find hi… Urgh!] an Ut Jin shouted before a fist sized hole appeared on its head. 

[Intruder!!] an Ut Jin shouted as chaos ensued. 

They raged and raised their weapons to the sky as the heat within the room tripled. However no matter where they looked, they saw no enemy. 

"This is Alpha 1, going dark" they all heard a voice as the open mountain top slowly began to close. 

Noticing the anomaly, they all immediately became alert, however, the massacre had long started. 

By the only entrance into the room, a small figure could be seen entering the room before several small explosions were heard as several Ut Jins dropped on the floor dead. 

[Devil!] they shouted but the young man who was now floating above then moving his aim and firing in quick succession didn't change. 

"Clear!" The voice said again as the light slowly returned to the room 

The mountaintop and the entrance was open once again but none of the Ut Jin could see it. 

"A gun is much more effective, wonder why we chose to use cold weapons" Steve asked himself as he pushed down the body of the Ut Jin leader from the throne and sat down. 

Before him were hundreds of dead bodies, blood covered the floor of the room as the heat within the room intensified for some reason. 

"Take care of the bodies" Steve ordered as he personally took care of the leader's materials

Easily skinning the creature and drying it with [Fire Magic IV], burning its organs, separating its bones from the meat, taking its magic stone. Steve was soon done. 

"I seriously need to learn some kind of space folding magic" Steve complained as he looked at the large amount of materials he just gained. 

Looking at the massive amount of dead bodies that was quickly disappearing due to Automata, Steve realised a small flaw in the plan he had just carried out. 

What if any of the Ut Jin were faster than he expected, he would be dead now. The Automata were simply in charge of stopping any of them from escaping. 

Guns were indeed the Ultimate weapons but he was too hot headed for them. He will eventually put himself in danger just like he had done today. 

"No wonder America likes missiles, devastating but you are in a safe distance" He commented as he brought out the assault rifle and the sniper. 

Imbuing his mana into them, he quickly remade them into two orbs, both fist sized but looked a lot like a common marble but bigger. 

Reaching for the side of the throne, Steve grabbed one of the many crystals growing on it and broke one off. 

Molding the crystals into several small flat chip-like things, he inserted two of them into the orbs before proceeding to create more orbs.
