Chapter 138: Escape
Butte looked at Jun-woo with eyes as if he had found a prey, flapped his wings and charged fiercely.
Swoosh!
Six guided missiles flew towards Butte, who dodge the energy bullets by rotating her body effortlessly.
Aww!
The missiles exploded and Butte, wearing a black shield, approached casually through the smoke.
At that moment, a defensive robot tries to pull Butte, but Butte is slightly dragged, flaps its wings once, stops, and approaches Jun-woo.
Swoosh!
Even from a fairly close position, Butte twisted her body to avoid energy bullets, and then raised her sword while clinging to Jun-woo.
As he approached his nose, three self-destruct robots were created next to Jun-woo and exploded.
Whoops!
Butte got caught in the explosion and bounced once, and Jun-woo, who changed his location, went up to the roof of the old building and aimed his mana cannon at Butte.
Swoosh!
Butte, who rotated his body round and round, quickly attached to Jun-woo.
The five cannonball robots eagerly fire at Butte, but they look busy being ripped into two pieces by Butte's sword in the air.
Swoosh!
But who managed to avoid the energy bullet and approached, Butte's sword fell once upon Jun-woo's head.
After flashing, Jun-woo's body disappeared, and Butte flapped her wings and flew straight to Jun-woo.
Butte approached in less than a second and lowered his sword to Jun-woo's head.
Swish!
[Defense increases by 1000 for 3.6 seconds by the protection of the earth.]
As if he had not suffered any damage, Jun-woo lowered his sword and looked at Butte.
Butte stopped on the spot and spoke in Korean rather than attacking.
“You have a good skill for human subjects, immunity to short-time damage."
“What is your name?"
“It's called Butte."
“What does it have to do with Dark Star?"
“Well, if necessary, shall we leave it as a friendly relationship?"
“Right."
At that moment, a defensive robot pulled Butte.
Butte, who was slightly dragged and stopped, smiled as he saw Jun-woo moving away.
Jun-woo, who flew up, turned his back and ran away.
Butte followed from behind, and as the distance narrowed, Jun-woo aimed a mana cannon and shot.
Swoosh!
Butte, who escaped by rotating her body again, has narrowed the distance.
Jun-woo increased his speed and flew away.
Butte followed, paused slightly when a defensive robot pulled it, then caught up again.
After that, the defensive robot did not interfere, but it was not easy for Butte to close the distance with Jun-woo.
Guided bombs were created and flew behind Jun-woo, who ran away with his back, and black self-destructive birds flew out one by one and exploded in front of Butte.
Thud!
Butte came out of the smoke and made a dissatisfied expression.
“I have no intention of fighting at all…, Well?"
Butte, who had stopped, sped up again and flew away with an aura that she had suddenly felt.
Jun-woo shouted at the approaching Ikegami.
“Run away!"
Ikegami ran back the way he had come.
Jun-woo flew low and flew next to Ikegami.
“Has everyone retreated?"
“I am retreating. It looks like a nasty guy is following you, who is it?"
“Butta is a demon."
“A demon?"
As Ikegami turned his head, he saw Butte approaching.
Butte looked at Ikegami with a satisfied smile.
‘Is that guy here?'
A self-destructive bird flew in front of Butte and exploded.
Boom!
As the distance widened a little, Jun-woo said.
“It would be dangerous for him to join the battle. Let's run away quickly."
“I think so. Let's run away quickly."
Jun-woo slowed his speed down slightly by firing skills and mana cannons at the chasing Butte.
[79% overload]
The overload of the battle suit went up little by little.
Although it was significantly improved over the old version, it was impossible to escape by flying indefinitely.
Jun-woo landed on the floor and ran with all his energy while consuming mana to cool off the overload.
When Jun-woo landed on the floor, Butte also fell to the floor and started running.
As Butte started running, her wings slipped into her back.
Jun-woo consumes mana and tries to increase his speed slightly, but Butte's running speed is significantly faster.
Ikegami looked at Jun-woo, who could not follow, worriedly.
“Don't worry about me and run away!"
At the dungeon gate, Ikegami had seen Jun-woo flying and jumping repeatedly, so Ikegami nodded once and ran at high speed.
[The signal with Defense Robot 1 has been cut off.]
[The signal with Defense Robot 2 has been cut off.]
[The signal with Defense Robot 3 has been cut off.]
The defense robot and the cannonball robot disappeared when the distance from Jun-woo increased considerably.
The defensive robots could only be summoned again by spending mana and iron ore when they were destroyed.
Three defensive robots were regenerated by Jun-woo's side.
In addition, a cannonball robot was placed on the street and fired missiles at the approaching Butte.
Jun-woo still had no intention of fighting, so he left the robot alone and ran away, spraying cannonball robots one by one on the way.
Watching Jun-woo fly, Butte shot down the defense robot.
bang!
“He's really annoying."
The distance between them widened and Jun-woo flew to Ikegami's side.
Ikegami looked back once and spoke.
“Did you bully me?"
“No, I'm chasing you."
“Where did that guy come from… …."
It was Ikegami's face with some concern.
There would be a battle with the Dark Star's followers who were waiting on the escape route, so the chasing Butte was definitely a problem.
As I ran with all my might, I saw people with Okhotsogen's marks running away.
In front of them, 8 flying cars made of mithril by Jun-woo were flying side by side.
It was a flying car purchased by Okhotsgen for slow-moving makers.
The two cars were big enough to carry ten people, so about 40 people were moving in the flying car.
Sakaguchi, who was running in the rear, approached Jun-woo and asked.
“Is the person you're after Liu Wei?"
“No, Butta is something else."
“Ah… …."
“What about the situation elsewhere?"
Yunnan was mostly mountainous, and they were heading to Vietnam, the shortest route.
To get to Vietnam, they had to go through the Huanghua Hani Yi Autonomous Prefecture, where the third largest Zukin in Yunnan resides.
“It is said that troops are coming up to Kaiyuan City. Perhaps soon there will be a battle there as well."
The Yunnan Guild was waiting there.
* * *
Tadayoshi, who was informed of the situation, stood near the road leading to the movement.
In order to provide quick support, the guild members with the spear mark of Rason Zukin ran up the road.
Tadayoshi watched it like a spectator.
Leon, Murata, and Yoshimura of the Aegis Guild were also waiting there.
Yoshimura said with a nervous face.
“Isn't that the guy you just passed by, Wang Xiao?"
Shao Wang was a man known as the Deputy Master of Zukin with a Unique+ level.
Murata nodded.
“It looks like the battle will start soon."
“I'm trembling after a long time."
“It will be fine, Yoshimura."
Yoshimura took a deep breath and asked.
“Whoa…, and everyone else, why didn't he bring Lloyd?"
“It's a production job."
“Producer? I didn't see you making it… …. And is that important? He's a pretty talented guy, so bringing him here will definitely come in handy…."
Murata nodded once more.
“If the tower comes with it, it will definitely help the power. But it's hard to get a seat here and fight. Moreover, it seems that it takes 10 minutes to put the tower into the item window. I can't wait ten minutes here, because I have to run away."
“Come to think of it, I haven't seen him fight in person. It seems that his mana sensing ability is higher than that of Lewis… …."
Yoshimura's eyes followed the guild member with Zukin's mark.
“Forgiveness…, Zukin, they seem to be genuinely willing to cooperate."
Recognizable faces passed one by one.
It seemed too late, so Yoshimura looked at Tadayoshi and spoke.
“When are you going to attack? … ."
At that time, Tadayoshi, the deputy master of the Yunnan Guild, drew his sword.
When powerful mana was released, the Johann Guild and all those who cooperated attacked the Zukin Guild, which was moving as a signal.
Leon jumped into the middle of them and lowered his sword.
Wow!
* * *
At that time, the flying car carrying the producers kept going down.
Butte was the only person chasing from behind, but another fast-moving person appeared.
Jun-woo didn't see it with his own eyes, but he knew who it was right away.
“This is Liu Wei."
“I wanted to meet you once, but…, coming from the front."
As Ikegami said, there were many enemies approaching ahead.
They were members of Zukin's guild led by Wang Xiao and Wei Hang from Kaiyuan City.
Taisei took the lead to clear the road, and 30 elite guild members of Okhotsugen ran after Taisei.
A battle ensued, and the flying cars all turned in unison and fled to escape.
At that moment, after being silent, he speeded up and approached.
Swoosh!
Liu Wei ran lightly dodging the energy shot.
It was Liu Wei, who blocked guided missiles with a wind screen, and the missile of the cannonball robot was smashed with a sword.
Taking care of everything with minimal movements, Liu Wei approached Jun-woo, and Butte jumped and caught on to Ikegami.
Kaang!
Butte and Ikegami's swords collided with each other.
Butte's eyes clearly showed Ikegami's two skills.
[Lv.5 Butte's Swordsmanship]
-Rank: Legendary+
-Passive: Increases the attack power of the equipped sword by 35. Ignores 7.5% of the target's defense when attacking.
…
[Lv.5 Butte's Sword Dance]
-Rank: Legendary
-Active: … ….
Both were skills that Ikegami used only at the dungeon gate.
Butte smiled and pressed on Ikegami.
“Thank you. For coming here on my own feet."
“Which country are you talking about?"
It was Italian spoken by Maro.
Butte smiled and pulled out her wings behind her back.
As the dark red wings rose, Butte's body rose and flew to Ikegami.
Kaang! Kaang!
Butte drove Ikegami.
I couldn't do a proper attack.
Butte's sword was faster and his movement speed was also insane.
Blocking was the only way, and running away was the best.
When the sword, which had a black aura bloomed, cut through Ikegami's upper body, Ikegami, who had fallen once, ran with her back turned upside down.
‘You're a monster child… ….'
Ikegami ran while looking at his allies and his position.
At that time, I could feel Jun-woo's mana in front of me.
‘yes?'
It was Jun-woo who seemed to be on the right.
But for some reason, Jun-woo was in a high place in front.
‘Is it Lewis' fighting machine? … .'
Butte quickly approached him while he was unconscious for a moment, and Ikegami frowned and turned his back.
‘One is right… ….'
Bang!
An intense and huge energy bullet flew from a high place with great speed and hit the butte.
Butte was pushed back once, and her wings slashed the floor.
Running forward, Ikegami made a puzzled expression at the unusual structure in front of her.
Three tall tower-shaped structures were placed high on the mountain.
Five mechanical golems of various shapes were seen around the building.
And at the edge of the tower, which is more than 6 meters tall, in the center of the three towers, a man in his 20s with silver hair was looking down with a smile on his face.
“Lloyd?"
Ikegami had seen Lloyd who was talking about Jun-woo's homunculus on TV, but it was the first time seeing the real thing.
