Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 91: Greatest Weapon
"Elias almost felt like screaming out loud in frustration. He wasn’t even close to his family. In fact, he hated many members of his family, who had directly screwed with his life.
Despite that, everyone who hated his family came after him, as if he was responsible for everything wrong that they had done.
He didn’t even understand if he had been reborn to take revenge on the Asbborn Family or to deal with the ones that wanted to take revenge on them. Everything seemed to be going in reverse.
"So which one should I blame this time? Brother? Father?" he asked. "Or are you trying something new, and it’s because of my mother this time!"

"Are you mocking us?" The woman asked, finding his words to be very confusing. "If we didn’t have to take you back alive, you would’ve been dead already."
She didn’t know that it was simply because he had gone through this multiple times already. He had almost grown numb to this threat. The only thing this kind of threat gave him was frustration.
"And if outside weapons weren’t useless in this world, then you would’ve been dead," Elias responded weakly. If he could use the evolved guns, then he wouldn’t even need to talk to them. He could’ve simply blown their heads off.
"Why would treasures made outside work in the land of the dead? Is that even something you should complain about?" Astralious reacted, crossing his arms. He didn’t even understand why Elias was complaining about such a thing, instead of focusing on the situation.
"Around twenty mid-tier fables are here to drag me away. Don’t you think I’m allowed some leeway to complain?" Elias answered, realizing that the battle before him was worse than the time he had faced Harbinger.
He could at least protect himself from the attacks of one person, using extraction. But if so many people were to attack him at once, then his abilities were also restricted to a certain extent.
He initially didn’t take Astralious’s mockery seriously. However, a certain word spoken by him still floated in his subconscious. It took him a moment to consider that world, which made him frown.
"Wait a minute. What do you mean weapons made outside won’t work? Does that mean if they are made in the Land of Fables, they will work?" he asked, his voice almost trembling at the thought.
Was this what the Professor meant when he said that his treasure was useless here? Because it was made outside? If it was really the case, then weapons weren’t really useless here. It was only weapons that were made outside. Wasn’t that a problem that could easily be solved with his extraction and merger?
"That’s right. Weapons made outside are useless here. But those so-called modern weapons, if made inside this world, aren’t useless. Didn’t you see the things that the old man back there was making?" Astralious asked, not understanding why Elias even appeared to be so surprised.
Even a Constellation like him knew about it, even if he had been trapped in the Forest of Fables for such a long time, then shouldn’t Elias also know it? Sometimes he even wondered just which ignorant family this boy came from.
"In any case, why do you even need weapons? Don’t you already have the best weapons!" Astralious pointed at Elias’s hands. "Although the woman wasn’t strong enough to threaten me, the weapon that you devoured was not half bad."
"Even I might have to put a significant effort if she had that weapon when I was taking her down. So I don’t know why you even worry about not having weapons." His voice was filled with uncertainty, as he wondered just what this boy was worried about.
In his eyes, Elias looked like a boy that had the greatest weapon in the world, and he was still worrying about not having a small steel dagger.
It took him a moment to realize, as his eyes lit up. He suddenly looked at Elias.
"You don’t know, do you?" He asked. "Sometimes I really forget that you are a kid that is ignorant about so many things. Do you want me to teach you?"
"Why is he talking to himself?" Many of the fables that had surrounded Elias were looking at each other strangely.
The boy was surrounded from all sides with no path to escape. He was going to be dragged to a hell that was waiting for him. And instead of worrying about it, he was talking to himself like a mad person?
Even the woman looked at him weirdly. Were they sent here to capture this crazy boy? Was this crazy person really the one that they were looking for? At this point, she was starting to have second thoughts, wondering if they had actually found the right target.
"Are you going to keep gloating over it, or will you tell me how to use the weapons that you are talking about?" Elias’s lips started twitching, as he watched Astralious laugh at him. "Don’t forget that our lives are tied. If she caught me, then we can see how much you laugh."
"Tch, you can’t even let me have a moment." Astralious clicked his tongue, but he didn’t waste any more time. "The weapon of that woman has become a part of you. After I devoured her completely, her core essence also became one with you. It should give you complete control.
"So all you need to do is feel the essence of that woman in your right hand, and imagine the weapon that she was carrying, and release that essence in a controlled manner. If you release too much, then it will be dangerous. But if too little, you will fail."
"There’s no point in worrying too much about this crazy person. Just capture him. After that, we will send someone to verify with the domain owner if this was the only human here." The woman also told her men to capture Elias, who seemed less and less like a threat with the passage of time.
