Number One Dungeon Supplier
chapter-1566-11

They might just be clones but the additional firepower was more than welcomed as they immediately clashed with the other scorpion Mechanoids. Their pincers intersect with each other causing the metal edges to screech loudly through the room while their tails dived into their carapace hoping to disable the other end.

Jin did not waste time as well as he unsheathed a rather vulgar blade from his back. It was forged from the blades of the praying mantis they had fought against in the variant dungeon and Old Fammet had decided to fashion the blade for him. Unfortunately, he was unable to replicate a katana for Jin despite having instructions from the System.

"Just because the System is able to tell me what to do with each step does not mean I am able to create it in one night! And you already know I am busy with so much stuff, you just take the blade as it is!" Old Fammet complained as he passed the blade to Jin before he worked on the Rocket Coffin.

Jagged edges on the blade made it seem like it had been to battle through hundreds of times. But it was merely the fact that through the reinforcement, the mantis blade merged with the additional core iron and bronze that Old Fammet had added. It might have looked like a rushed job but the reinforcement materials were certainly of high quality.

"Heh. a large jagged broadsword made from the materials of a praying mantis monster. Looks like I am having another go with insects." Jin said to himself as he swung his broadsword upwards and used wind Maqi to give him sufficient propulsion to aim not for the scorpions but the spiders who were lurking and began spraying gunshots at the cloned Mechanoids.

Jin and his team should consider themselves lucky that their enemy's battle algorithm was towards large monsters, effectively ignoring the human Mechanoids and their commander when Jin had summoned the clones out. 'Basically, they are now taking the aggro from us' would be the response from a gamer's perspective.

The spider Mechanoids noticed their combat threat towards the commander had changed when he jumped sprightly towards them. The safety of height had been compromised and they readily changed their targeting system to Jin. But there was still a slight lag to that change as Jin had already crushed one of the spiders by slamming his entire jagged broadsword like an insect swat, breaking it into pieces.

He then hung on the ceiling with a broken 'spider' leg stuck on the ceiling. As the spiders changed their target, they were not rushing towards Jin and instead spreading themselves out as Jin was hanging on the ceiling. There was no way Jin could dodge all of the attacks and there were a few bullets that had already hit the target spot on. Some of the body armour had soaked the damage and his Maqi barrier was able to deflect a few.

Still, it was something Jin did voluntarily as he knew that being trapped in this locked room would not do anything good for the Grey Bears in general. So with as much Maqi barrier protecting his head, he still soaked the bullets like a punching bag, bearing the pain from the onslaught of bullets while he plunged his sword into the ceiling.

Click and Tellie saw what was happening and immediately tried to assist by shooting down the spiders that were aiming at their commander. They honestly thought in their dumb rush attack their commander did, it was to distract the spiders and now he was paying the price harshly.

Yet this distraction allowed the cloned scorpion Mechanoids, who were embodied by Suzaku's living rage as how the other clones were when they fought with Jin, to fight back with ferocity against the overwhelming numbers, giving it breathing space to tear the ground units apart.

As painful as Jin was filling, he channelled his Maqi into the broadsword and forced an upwards explosion. He figured that the ceiling would have a weaker foundation compared to the floor they were in mainly because of the number of items that had been found lying all around this immense wide room filled with Mechanoids of varying sizes.

And he was right.

The ceiling cracked a little although not by a long. Imbued with explosive Maqi, the broadsword was able to drive itself into the crevice it created even deeper when Jin forced another explosion. He knew that a normal C4 would not be enough to do the job. The place used reinforced steel and, to some extent, extra special materials that Jin and the System could not analyse.

So to crack the foundation, he would use a brand new combination of water and wind Maqi instead. He concentrated wind and water to cause a straight cut into the reinforced cement and metal while using the water molecules to vibrate and explode it. Obviously, he could not have done it while being shot at like crazy, and the tactical System gave him instructions on how to do so. (Seems like he had better luck following the System's imagery compared to Old Fammet.)

"Commander!" Click and Tellie shouted in worry that Jin fell after delivering the next shock towards the ceiling thinking that he had succumbed to all the damage. But just as they were about to move to his estimated 'drop' site, His hand was still holding on to the jagged broadsword as he performed a backflip despite the injuries he had and gave an upwards kick towards the hilt.

Another explosion was heard and this time it was accompanied by a huge splash of water, debris and fog. "Let's get out of here!" Jin said as he fell to the ground and a cloned scorpion Mechanoid was able to catch him in midair as it followed the summoner's orders to bring him out to the 36th floor.

Tellie and Click were not far behind as they too hopped onto a cloned scorpion Mechanoid while the other two clones held their ground to provide cover.
