Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 39: Top Ranker

The giant walked toward the approaching marker of the domain’s owner. He was prepared to stomp on that person. He wanted to kill this domain’s owner before he could even have time to try anything else.

Soon, he saw something approaching him in the distance. The snowfall was so strong that he couldn’t see everything clearly. Still, he was certain that it was the target as their movement matched the movement of the marker.

"I will take him," the lean boy said while bringing out a small knife from his pocket. The knife began shining with a bright golden light as soon as it was held by him.

He tossed the knife toward the approaching figure before it could even get too close to them. The knife flew like an arrow fired from a bow, going straight for the approaching snowmobile.

It hit the snowmobile, and a loud explosion appeared, with a bright light covering a radius of tens of meters. Even the snow underneath evaporated under the effect of the explosion.

None of them saw anyone escaping from that explosion. It was clear that the person was caught in the explosion and died.

The lean boy smirked. "That was easier than I thought. No wonder he didn’t have the courage to leave his domain."

He approached the site of the explosion to see if there were any remnant limbs of the person left behind, or if he had completely disappeared.

When he reached the center of the crater in the snow, he saw pieces of metal lying around.

In the middle of the crater, there was a watch that had been caught in the explosion. Only that watch remained unharmed, as it was created by the academy.

It was the watch that was given to all the Destroyer Class students for this test. If the watch was here, it made him even more certain that the person was actually dead.

"That must have brought me to the top ten," the lean boy laughed.

"Don’t forget that I will be taking the target in the next domain. I also need to enter the top ten." The giant, feeling a little underwhelmed, began returning to his normal form.

He had at least expected there to be some fight, but the reality was completely different. The battle ended before it could even begin.

"Of course. As per our deal, the next domain owner will belong to you. Both of us will enter the top ten," the lean boy looked at his friend with an innocent smile on his face as he confirmed.

Although he didn’t show it on the surface, deep down, he had multiple thoughts in his head.

’You fool, as if I would ever be satisfied with the top ten. When the test is about to be over, I won’t waste a single second stabbing you in the back to take your scores as well. With that, I will certainly enter the top five.’

The bulky boy had a similar thought, but on the surface, he also smiled brightly. Their cooperation was on the verge of ending as the test was drawing to an end.

The lean boy opened the ranking, looking forward to seeing his name in the top ten.

It was only when the ranking appeared before him that he saw that his name was not in the top ten. He hadn’t gained a single point, which should’ve been impossible.

"How could this be?" he asked in disbelief, looking at the watch before him. "Could it be that he..."

At that moment, his expressions distorted as a realization struck him. They had been fooled! The marker wasn’t for the owner of this domain, but for the owner’s watch.

Just because no one had done something like this, he hadn’t even thought of a possibility like this.

"He’s not de-" He tried to speak as his eyes began changing colors to the golden shade again. Unfortunately, it was too late.

He coughed out blood, feeling a sharp object stabbing through the back of his neck. His eyes widened in disbelief, seeing the tip of a knife coming out from the front of his throat, covered with his blood.

Trembling, his pupils turned to the bulky boy, who looked even more frightened, as another knife was thrust into the back of his neck.

In his giant form, his skin was almost impenetrable. But when he wasn’t using his class and abilities, his skin was ordinary and provided no extra defense. Even an ordinary knife could pass through his physical defenses, just as it had happened.

The knives were left thrust in their necks, as the two of them fell to their knees, watching a figure walk past them. It seemed to be a young boy, who bent forward to pick up the watch that was lying in the middle of the crater.

They watched him wear the watch on his wrist before he slowly turned around. When they saw the face of the person, their pupils trembled even more violently.

They realized where they had gone wrong. They were truly fools to believe that the owner of this domain was a coward.

The owner of the domain was the monster that had even wrecked the person who was currently ranked first in this test, in front of everyone. Was that something they could call the actions of a coward?

They had truly come across a descendant, and their fates were exactly what they had assumed in a situation like that. They couldn’t even fight back as they were defeated.

Their dreams of entering the top ten were shattered. Let alone returning proudly as a high ranker, they couldn’t even return alive. Fresh blood trickled down their throats, staining their clothes as they fell on the snow, lifelessly.

They couldn’t enter the top ten, but Elias was different. After killing them, his score rapidly jumped. He appeared in the rankings as the seventh-ranked person.

Many people were wondering about his silence since he was at the bottom of the ranking. Some of them had even stopped thinking about him. But with his appearance in the top ten, they had a feeling that the equation was starting to change.
