Chapter 44: Kidnapping (4)
Yoshimura said, stroking his leg.
"Your brother is still lucky. I lost one leg. This is Automail."
"Is that Automail?"
"I am okay now, but the pain was terrible."
Jun-woo, listening to their chatter, looked down at the man and asked.
"What is your name?"
"I’m Murata."
"Does it seem like the plan has changed today? Could you please explain?"
Looking at the entrance that had been entirely welded by the robot, Murata closed his mouth.
"It would be better for you to cooperate. You can blow it up anytime."
"What do you want from me?"
"You can help me get out of here safely."
"That’s crazy. They don't back down. It would be better for you to quietly give up. They’ll never kill you, so don't worry about it."
Jun-woo, a little angry, tightened his eyes and looked at Murata.
"It's up to me to decide either way if you live or die."
At that moment, Yoshimura and Murata's pupils suddenly dilated.
It felt as if time had stopped as if their heart had stopped, and the whole world was dyed in darkness.
‘Die… … .'
The fear of death made their whole body stiff, but the two raised their heads and looked at Jun-woo.
His heart raced like crazy at the fear that came from my heart.
Jun-woo said slowly.
"Got it?"
Then the fear of death that enveloped his body disappeared.
Yoshimura exhaled sharply.
"Huh… Huh… Whoops… … ."
It felt like something was going to come up.
Murata also took a sharp breath and looked at Jun-woo with red eyes.
Yoshimura spat out saliva on the floor and shouted as if scolding him.
"Again, what are you doing!"
Jun-woo looked at Yoshimura and answered.
"Remember. If you think differently, you will explode."
"Yeah I know… I’ll never do it again! And I've been through it!"
"I was wondering if you have forgotten about it."
"I’ve never forgotten it!"
Jun-woo softly softened the chair with a black bomb and asked as he sat down.
"Murata, do you have food and water?"
"It does not exist. It is taboo to put it in the item window."
"What is your level?"
"110."
"What is your rank?"
"He is the captain of the 8th division."
"How many guys like you do you need to face Yuma?"
At Jun-woo's question, Yoshimura's eyes widened.
"Hey… Are you kidding me?"
"I asked Murata, Yoshimura."
Murata thought carefully before answering.
"6. No, seven."
"Can I know Yuma's expected stats?"
"Fighting isn't just about stats."
"I asked the question, Murata."
Murata paused and informed Jun-woo of the information he knew.
"Not sure. I am just guessing."
"Call."
"Once you reach level 120… … ."
Jun-woo wrote it down.
Murata, who had called everything, looked at Jun-woo and said,
"I don't know what you're thinking, but I'll tell you for sure. Even if all three of us, including myself, attack, we cannot defeat Yuma."
Jun-woo shook his head.
"Not three. Because there is a golem."
In the right corner, 20 mechanical golems were lined up.
The model was a Eumerian mechanical golem.
Nevertheless, Murata gave a negative opinion.
"Yuma's defense is at least 320. You can't damage Yuma with that golem's attack, right?"
Yuma's level was 120. In addition, if the armor, gloves, and shoes were unique + grade 3, the figure was at least 290.
There are unique + level skills that you will have, and you may have 2 or 3 characteristics. And since there will be various quests and hidden peace rewards, it is impossible to predict how many monsters there will be.
The golem's maximum attack power was 270, so he couldn't do 1 damage to Yuma.
Attack power that could not penetrate the defense could not do damage.
But tanking was possible.
"I can stand it."
Jun-woo took out the identical-looking mechanical golem from the item window.
The iron doll, which was small enough to fit in her hand, quickly grew more prominent as she set it down on the floor.
So 20 were created.
"I can attack."
Jun-woo's level was 92.
His magic power was 92, and his intelligence was 243.
The magic power of the weapon was 148, so if you add the effects of bullets and skills, at least 500 damage would come out.
The armor, skills, and accessories that Yuma wore didn't cover all this damage. Still, it was able to do enough damage.
"Certainly, your attack power is beyond imagination. But the movement is slow. How will you survive with your warp and movement skills, but will Yuma catch you before the cooldown expires?"
Murata is still skeptical.
Yoshimura also helped just by a single phrase.
"That's right. And why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? After gathering some more companions, did you catch Yuma? Wouldn't it be okay if we catch ten more unique kids and have them cooperate?"
The remaining number of times the button was pressed was 1.
Jun-woo thought about two things.
The first was to find an escape route using the two of them, Eumeria and the golem they had made so far, and try to get out of the mountain.
Jun-woo had a mountain car.
The road in the North could speed up enough because it had stopped during the water guild's reclamation project the other day.
If you're lucky, a guild that detects a battle and is in a confrontation might come to your aid.
But it was too risky.
It was unknown how quickly Liu Wei, Bragen, Takane, Oh Ryong, Zhao Ming, and Kwon Do-hyeok, considered Unique+, would appear.
From what Yoshimura heard, there were also several teleport-able wizards called teleporters like Ram.
He was going to catch up quickly and try to catch Jun-woo.
In failure, he could lose everything, including the golem he had stored up.
They said they could return to the warehouse once, but there was no food, so there was practically no back.
In that case, Jun-woo aimed at Yuma even if everything was lost.
He had monster-like stamina and bulldozer-like strength, but he seemed to have a stupid side.
If Yuma was captured and used as a bomb like Yoshimura and Murata, Jun-woo would be able to climb over the mountain.
Even if Yuma wasn't available, they could be scared and run away.
"Next time, I'm going to bring Yuma."
At Jun-woo's remark, Yoshimura and Murata's eyes widened dramatically.
Yoshimura hurriedly shouted.
"No! Don't be crazy! It's a max-level unique+. It's hard to even organize a raid party to catch a guy like that, but only four of us are. Why all of a sudden?"
Yoshimura asked with a bewildered face if he had thought of something.
"Are you sure there's only one left? Hmm?"
Jun-woo looked at Yoshimura and answered without lying.
"That's right."
"Damn it! Damn it… … ."
Yoshimura once ripped off his head in a reality that seemed unable to do this or that.
Murata said calmly.
"Wow, you don't know him well, but we've seen him fight up close. It's an opponent we can never win. Think of another way."
It seemed that Yuma was absurdly strong.
Look at their faces and words.
But they don't know themselves.
"You don't even know me, do you?"
Murata raised the corners of his lips slightly as if smirking.
"I heard it was a legend. But he's a legendary craftsman, not a fighter. And the level wouldn't even be 100. Even if the legend is great, you can't even defeat me today."
Jun-woo nodded and asked.
"Would you like to?"
Murata answered with a confident face.
"However much."
"You're boring by yourself, so Yoshimura, come along too."
Yoshimura, who had her head lowered, looked at Jun-woo, puzzled.
"Don't overdo it. Because I'm not a match for you, I think Murata-nim is equal to you if you're alone. But if I join, it's too one-sided."
Eumeria also looked at Jun-woo with a worried face.
But Jun-woo did not break his will.
"I'll start in ten minutes. In the meantime, eat potions to recover your health, and have a strategy meeting together."
Jun-woo handed the potion, and Murata took it.
Murata said after drinking the potion as he walked behind him.
"Yoshimura, follow me."
"Aren't you watching?"
Yoshimura left those words behind and walked to Murata.
Yoshimura and Murata sat next to the wall and whispered.
"Yoshimura, what's his skill?"
"You think you've seen it all? Warp, back-moving, kicking kicks, black bombs."
"Isn't there just that?"
"that… Will it be all? You're a producer. You seem to have a lot of crafting skills."
Murata looked at Jun-woo and whispered.
"Yoshimura, attack with the determination to kill. We have to kill him to survive."
"Kill you? I'm not that stupid. We will play with our hearts again if we fall into a crisis."
"At first, he treats him moderately, but when his vitality is sweet, he attacks with all his might. We can be free from the bomb if he's lucky enough to pass out of the shock. If we follow him, we will die."
"Ah, I see what you mean. Let's do it, brother."
Their eyes sharpened.
They had a serious discussion about how to fight.
As time passed and Jun-woo got up from his seat, the two got up, pulled out their weapons, and walked out confidently.
They kept their distance and confronted each other.
Yoshimura looked at Jun-woo and said,
"Hey, as soon as you fire the gun, it will be taken as a flare, so do it somewhere."
Jun-woo nodded and held out his palm to his right.
The iron gathered together to form a small robot about 40 cm tall.
It was a four-legged robot with a cannon.
Yoshimura looked at it with bewildered eyes.
"There was no such thing… … ."
"It's not unusual… … ."

It was Jun-woo's skill that he learned in his 80's.
Jun-woo installed three rockets at a certain distance for 15 seconds.
After installing three units, Yoshimura became anxious and urged.
"Oh, not yet?"
Jun-woo grabbed a gun and pointed it at Murata.
I put my finger on the ring and infused it with mana.
When mana was added to the pistol, a bullet was fired.
Bang!
Murata ran forward and used the evasion skill.
At that moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
[The skill cannot be used due to radio interference!]

It was a skill that Jun-woo learned at level 90.
Murata's pupils shook.
A bullet flew and hit Murata's forehead precisely.
As Murata fell backward, Yoshimura looked at him puzzledly.
"Ton, brother?"
Thump Thump!
Three rockets frantically started firing toward Yoshimura and Murata.
Smash! Smash! Smash!
Bang! Bang! Pop!
There were explosions and gunshots.
* * *
Yoshimura and Murata, whose bodies were covered in blood, sat on the floor.
On the other hand, Jun-woo was standing relatively well with only a few scratches.
Murata murmured in disbelief.
"Is this a legend… …?"
"I am a producer… … ."
Jun-woo said as he walked over.
"Recalculate. I wonder if I can bring Yuma with me."
Murata and Yoshimura were deeply troubled by the homework that Jun-woo gave them.
Murata was the first to speak.
"If the golem and the four of us work together, it's a little lacking… It's a whistle."
"I don't think so… … ."
Still, Yoshimura looked worried.
It looked like Yuma was great.
But I couldn't back off.
If you leave here, it's over.
Some of the shortcomings were filled in.
"Tell me about the skills and characteristics you know about Yuma in detail."
Jun-woo was planning to bring Yuma here.
That was Jun-woo's final plan.
