Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 94: Weapon Creation
"Confirm Merger," Elias commanded. He didn’t use his bare hands this time, despite the old man initially believing that would be the case.
As he moved his left hand, he temporarily opened a storage portal and retrieved a smaller gun, quite different from the Sniper he had used before. The portal disappeared before the dagger could touch it, and the dagger struck the gun instead.

His instructions activated the moment the dagger touched the gun, resulting in the creation of a storm.
Elias wasn’t at the core of the storm this time, so he quickly released the gun, which started going through the merger process with the core weapon of the mid-tier fable.
Holding the heavy sword in his hands, he rushed out of the storm, coming straight for the woman, who seemed like she had suffered a heavy injury at the loss of her core weapon.
The initial shock delayed her response, even though she saw Elias coming for her. The young boy raised his sword and brought it slashing down, creating another spatial slash.
The woman watched the attack flying straight for her, her eyes widening as a trail of blood trickled from the corner of her lips. She wasn’t able to move. Or rather, her feet simply refused to move.
She didn’t understand what had just happened. She had just attacked Elias, so why was she the one injured? Why couldn’t she feel the presence of her weapon, as if it had simply lost its connection with her, leaving her with a heavy injury?
"Watch out!" A loud cry fell in her ears, and she felt a sideways push that sent her flying out of harm’s way. But the fable that moved her away was the one to get caught in the attack, watching the light of death flash before her eyes.
"That was fast..." Elias didn’t chase after the woman. Instead, he looked behind him. He could see that the storm had started to weaken, which was completely different to the time he had personally merged with a weapon.
Once again, a lot of attacks were raining on him, which he managed to handle, with a single slash of his sword. And the moment that storm subsided, he caught sight of the gun that fell on the ground.
The woman had also come out of her initial shock after being pushed out of the way. She was hurt, but she knew that she was going to get even more hurt if she didn’t stop the man now. For some reason, the boy felt like a completely different person, than his initial self.
"You are too dangerous! I can’t take you back alive! I will have to kill you!" She shrieked, as she transformed into her giant beastly form, rushing to Elias like a wild beast.
Elias didn’t react to the loud shriek that almost sent his eardrums trembling. He reached out his hand towards the gun, and mumbled, "Creation Control."
One of the constellations was right next to the gun. He reached out his hand to pick the thing that Elias seemed to be interested in. But the moment his fingers were about to touch the modified him, he saw the gun disappear into thin air.
Bang~
He suddenly heard a strange noise, which made him raise his hand. And the thing that he saw, made him fall flat on his butt.
He saw the gun in Elias’s left hand, aimed at the beast that was right behind him. There was a small hole in the middle of the beast’s head.
Multiple bangs resounded one after another, creating more holes in the body of the beast, almost destroying from within. The beast could feel her own essence being used in these attacks, which left her defences useless.
She simply watched in disbelief, as a sharp pain travelled through her entire body, almost paralyzing her.
"Sorry, I was distracted. Were you saying something?" Elias asked the mid-tier fable, watching her body tremble in rage, pain, and helplessness.
Almost all the other fables were frozen in place, watching their leader, whose life was flashing before their eyes. Just what was this monster? Why were the things that he used so weird yet so frightening?
The fable that had transformed into her grotesque yet true form tried to resist the temporary paralysis, forcing its body to take a few steps forward with all its might. Unfortunately, it was all for nothing, as the beast dropped to the ground, barely reaching Elias’s feet.
Elias raised his sword and brought it slashing down, cutting the grotesque beast in half, even though it wasn’t in any condition to fight.
"We need to get out of here..." a fable said to the others who were frozen in fear, having lost all their courage to attack Elias.
"No one is going anywhere this time." Elias looked back, raising the gun in the direction of the other fables who were still in their human form.
Multiple bangs echoed in the surroundings, as the fables kept falling one after another. Some tried to attack Elias, only to be killed. Others tried to run away, but their fate didn’t change.
Only one person was left alive. It was the man who had suggested not entering this domain in the first place.
He was still holding onto the mechanical device in his hand, but his fingers could clearly be seen trembling as he looked at the other fables that had been destroyed by a mere human right before his eyes.
"Tell me who sent you?" Elias asked the man as the sword in his hand started disappearing, the essence of Harbinger returning to his arm.
"D-Domain Lord Zesten sent us here to capture you," the man said, not even trying to resist.
For him, his life was more important than his loyalty to Zesten. At worst, he would have to live his life in hiding, unable to return to Zesten’s domain, but it was better than dying.
"Am I supposed to know who Zesten is? You will have to elaborate further." Elias started opening the map of the land that he had received from the Painter.
