Chereads / The Architect [Solo Leveling] / Chapter 40 - Change in Strategy

Chapter 40 - Change in Strategy

About three minutes later, he was surrounded by a bunch of black orbs. However in his hands was another crystal but this one was remade into two triangular objects, both were flat and curved in a weird manner. 

"Let's hope this works then" Steve said before shrugging 

He placed the two objects in either side of his head, just above his ear and immediately he felt a sharp pain that immediately disappeared and was replaced by a soothing feeling. 

"Activate" Steve commanded as the orbs slowly lifted off the ground

They flew up into the air before him before forming a ring around his head, from that position they formed a line then turned towards the wall beside the throne, away from where the Automata were working. 

*Boom*

A series of loud explosions were heard as a massive hole appeared in the mountain wall. 

"Remote and deadly" Steve commented with a smile. 

With this he didn't need the sniper or the assualte rifle, he only needed the hand gun for eventuality purposes

"Okay pack up, let's go" Steve ordered as he stood up from the throne. 

"As you wish" The Automata answered as the worker class Automata began packing the materials they could.

Without waiting for them, Steve walked out of the mountain towards the next biome. 

He didn't plan to waste any more time, he had spent too much time here. It had already been two months since he entered. 

He spent the first month refining his Golem making skills and creating the various classes of Automata he had now. The month after that was spent half taking down the golems and waiting for the Ut Jin to finally separate themselves so he could hunt them one by one. 

He didn't know how much time had passed on the outside world since it was common knowledge that Time flowed faster here than on the outside. 

However, it didn't matter to him, he had learnt more than necessary unless there was something else he found interesting. 

Finally outside the mountain that contained the Ut Jin home, Steve began walking towards the next biome, the Icy Mountains. 

…. 

An hour later, 

"Is it really that far away, I could have sworn it was closer" Steve asked in confusion. 

He and the Automata had been running for hours now but they had yet to reach. Immediately activating [Airwalk] Steve blasted off the ground in a single leap. 

Appearing high up in the sky, he saw the Icy Mountains again, they were a bit closer but turns out he had completely underestimated how large the gate really was.
