Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 75: A Monster’s Prey
’With that kind of success probability, you might as well tell me that I’m going to die right here,’ Elias thought, as he looked at the probability of both the use cases that were mentioned after the analysis.
"Why do you look so scared?" The Harbinger asked Elias, as she kept stepping closer to him. "Should I promise you that I won’t make it painful?"
"May I ask, how you won’t make it painful? Don’t you hate us?" Elias asked the Harbinger, as he also kept stepping back, wondering how long it was going to be until he reached the end.
At first, he didn’t know why this world was called the land of fables, and why one had to be corrupted to even enter this world. He was told that living beings couldn’t enter this world.
After looking at the analysis, more things started making sense. This place wasn’t really a world that came into existence naturally.
Instead, it was more like a prison for the Fables that came into existence from the unnatural death and chaos caused by the Dimensional Academy. He had a feeling that the Soul Beasts that they were told to partner up with were also these Fables.
The Academy expected them to tame the myths that came into existence because of their hatred for them. The more he thought about it, the more messed up it became.
The Creator Class had to take beasts that had nothing to do with them. At most, the beasts craved freedom and nothing more. But here, these so-called soul beasts wanted to devour them alive.
"Hate you?" The Harbinger asked Elias, the corner of her lips creeping up. "Oh child, you overestimate yourself. You are just fledglings that don’t have the strength or influence to make me hate you."
"I don’t hate you. But I do hate the person that you will become in the future," she added, as spatial cracks started appearing around the sword that she was holding. "So I will just kill you here, and maybe satiate my hunger before finding others."
"Would you believe me if I said I don’t have any intentions of doing what you’re worried about?" Elias asked, even though he knew that the answer was no. He didn’t expect her to agree either, as he only wanted to buy more time.
He might not be strong enough to fight her, but he was literally standing on something that was. The Beast of Decay was certainly a strong existence and had the potential to stop her.
He simply had to make this brainless fool notice her by dragging that woman before him. Along the way, he looked back for a brief moment and noticed that he was almost at the edge.
Just a few more minutes, and he could jump down. He had already prepared to summon the jet back as soon as he jumped. The woman was definitely going to jump after him, distracting the Beast of Decay.
At least, that’s what he thought until he heard the Harbinger’s question. "Why are you stepping back? Do you expect this thing to help you?"
It was as if she could already read his mind before he even put his plan into action.
"Who knows? I guess we will find out!" Elias answered as he turned around and started running away, given that the distance wasn’t great.
Soon, he reached the end and jumped with all his might, putting every bit of strength that he had into that jump.
"Isn’t he underestimating me?" the Harbinger mumbled, as she raised her sword at the same time as Elias summoned the Fighter Jet after jumping off the Beast of Decay.
He didn’t explain anything to the ego, and simply used the Extraction Control to make him fly away, as he landed atop the closed Jet, holding onto something with all his might to make sure he didn’t fall down.
"W-what are you doing above me?" The ego asked in disbelief, as it thought about slowing down since the winds were so strong, looking as if they could send Elias flying at any moment.
The only thing that was keeping Elias on the jet was his surprisingly strong grip. Even as the strong winds created problems for Elias, he still held on as he looked back, to see what that woman was doing.
"Hmm?" The reality itself seemed somewhat warped as he caught the sight of the woman who was still standing atop the Beast of Decay.
To Elias’s surprise, she wasn’t chasing after them. Instead, it was the Beast of Decay that caught sight of them. Even though it was like a fool, it still saw them as prey the moment that it saw them.

The Beast of Decay reached out its hand, to catch them like an insect. However, at the same time, the woman also raised her sword, creating a giant aura sword that seemed to slice through the sky itself.
She also started running forward, as her wings started moving, making her rise in the air. The moment she flew past the Beast of Decay with the heavy sword, she turned around to look at the Beast of Decay and brought the Sword down, like a punishment from heaven.
As the aura sword came slashing down, it felt as if the space itself was cracked open. The arc of aura shot out, and cut through the impenetrable body of the Beast of Decay, as if it was nothing but an insect.
Elias watched in disbelief as the giant’s body was sliced in two halves, with each half slowly falling in different directions as the space struggled to heal.
The moment the two halves of the Beast of Decay fell on the ground, the earth trembled and a cloud of dust rose high.
Elias saw the sharp eyes of Harbinger as she turned towards him, right before the cloud of smoke covered her, making it impossible for him to see her.
"She is a monster!" The Ego exclaimed.
"And that monster seemed to have started looking at us as prey. It won’t let us escape," Elias mumbled.
