Sin

[I see, thankfully you are safe, that's what that matters now, anyway should I still upload the schematics for the Sniper now] 

"Yes please, close combat is nice and all but it's not for me"

[I would like to warn you though, that our conventional weapons have no effect on these creatures] 

"Of course I know that, and I don't plan on creating a conventional weapon either" I replied as I stood up from the makeshift bed the Automata had made for me. 

[Okay then, I will do so now] Jin Chul said before the connection was cut and soon a file was transferred. 

It was exactly as he requested, the schematics for a sniper rifle but the man had sent the schematics for about four different sniper rifles. All four, from the looks of it excelled in one thing or the other. 

"Food, my creator" One of the automata said as it brought rolls of plates. 

All covered in meat and from the lack of any Ut Jin in the surrounding, I already knew what it was. 

However, did I have a choice? 

Scanning it for any poisonous substance, I immediately dug in and began eating, shoving the entire thing into my mouth and swallowing at times without even chewing. 

One of the many side effects of Mana Exhaustion, it completely drains you of all energy which means even after you recover your mana, you still need to fill your stomach. 

But it also has its good parts, in the sense that due to the very nature of mana within the human body, you gain more than you lost during the mana exhaustion. 

Like the physical body, after recovery, one's mana storage limit increases slightly.

"This is surprisingly good" I said after completely demolishing the entire plate. 

Now Realising what I had just done, a sick feeling arose within me. People may say that as long as it isn't human, eating it wouldn't bear a physiological effect on your mind. 

However, that wasn't true, I felt sick. It felt dirty even if I knew clearly that the creature I had just eaten was a demon. Its bipedal appearance didn't change a thing. 

Which raises the question of how those isekai'ed characters are able to eat Orc Meat despite it looking almost like us in certain media. 

"Just get me the leather, you guys made from its skin" I ordered in order to distract myself from my sin. 

"As you wish, Master" one of them replied before going to get it. 

Since I was done eating, I finally stood up and began checking myself for any injury. I knew the healers had healed me but I wanted to make sure. 

I was fine however my suit was beyond damaged as I expected. [Protection III] did protect him from damage and all and the suit was indeed durable but he had overloaded it with mana… This was a good outcome. 

"Wait, I should be able to make elemental suits right?" I asked no one in particular. 

The theory was simple: using the Ut Jin's skin, I can create a suit that will allow me to manipulate fire on the level that they did. The creature literally turned stone to lava just by sitting still.
