"He really thought that he could get out of that situation, huh?" Jin sighed at the freshly dead bodies that were staining the ground.
The moment the private corpo commander had previously attempted to make a move, a huge poker card appeared and deflected all the shots that were going towards Jin. There was no need for the Dungeon Supplier to do anything else. Moloch's card continued to spin stopping all the attacks while the Minotaurs got out of their current roles and sauntered towards the attacking group.
Seeing how the commander had failed to kill the VIP, their next response was to kill the Minotaurs before they could do anything towards their group. Usually, this would have injured the minotaurs no matter how strong they were. There was no such thing as a bullet soaking sponge of a monster and all the Minotaurs could do was to revive back from all the pain within the dungeon instance and attack again.
However, the spinning of a poker card did not only protect Jin as more of those cards appeared and protected the Minotaurs. "Geez. Are you guys seriously going to show your menace like this? You know that you all could get killed." Moloch said and all of the Minotaurs laughed.
"Hahahaha! Boss Mol, we all know how caring you are. To protect us from all of the harm that would come our way despite our recklessness!" One of the Minotaur Maids shouted back and it brought a slight smile to Moloch's face even though he tried to keep it together.
At that time, Jin was also seen smiling that Moloch had not lost his touch to be the Minotaurs' leader despite all the commandeering at the backlines and miscellaneous work that made him one of the most competent workers the Dungeon Supplier possessed. And because of that, Jin was slightly worried that all the work at the backend would cause his Minotaurs to lose their trust in him.
Yet, from the encounter he saw, it did not seem to be the case. Moloch did not overextend his powers to protect his Minotaur colleagues. Instead, he merely did the necessary task to shield them from the Mechanoids' onslaught of bullets and bullets. (To the point some of the Mechanoids got injured by the ricochet and one even got hit by the grenade's impact.)
The room was relatively small, and Jin felt it was meant to be designed this way so that the Mechanoids had no choice but to challenge the Minotaurs face to face in order to get out. But based on the rooms Jin had seen (even though it was just two of them), it was not a desperate attempt to defend Mount Sunn Workshop. The rooms were designed as a slaughterhouse to kill all the Mechanoids and Commanders who came in. The only thing Jin was disappointed about was that he was unable to utilise all of his minions at all despite the agreement the System and the Synthesis Administration had made.
The System said that it was a limitation that the AI Synthesis Administrators had made as it recognised the System as an entity similar to it compared to Jin who was merely a User under the System. It was probably a perspective issue and how the AI Administrators oversee things so the System took that advantage and produced its dungeon instance with the resources that were available to it.
Of course, knowing that it did not have Jin's intellect and creativity, it still had centuries of experience under its belt and the System knows how to create a kill box to ensure victory by its minions. And as calculated, the Minotaurs were able to subdue the retreating Mechanoids who were being forced into a corner despite the relentless fire.
All of them were attempting to aim at different parts of the body and others at various angles hoping that they could find a weakness to exploit. At one point, the Mechanoids even decided to use ricochet angles as a terrible method to overcome the rotating poker cards which did not make a single sense to the living robots.
But none of them was able to injure them, allowing the Minotaurs to finally went close and grab them… only to rip their heads out of their bodies to stop them from functioning. That was the time when the commander decided that perhaps close combat was the only answer to their woes.
It was an excellent deduction that they could kill them with brute strength. The only problem was that most Mechanoids were built to shoot and not kill with close combat. Even if they could specialise in that particular department, it would still be something equal to a few dozen Mechanoids to bring it down After all, the Minotaurs that were present in this room had tempered their mettle against Jin's cultivators. There was no way the Minotaurs could lose when it comes to a close quarter encounter.
And thus, when the Mechanoids were all systematically ripped clean, the only person that was left was the private corpo commander which Jin asked Moloch to do his job to extract information from it.
"Don't you think that job is best suited for just one person?" Moloch batted an eyelid, looking innocent.
"He is here?" Jin did not know whether to feel elated to see that one person.
"I doubt the System allowed it. There were too many regulations making this dungeon instance, it would be a hassle to bring him here. I think the System had too much on its hands to even keep their eye on him." Moloch deduced. "Butttttttt you never know, both of us understand how much he wants to be in the latest trend and this is one of them."
"In short, even if the System stopped him from coming in, he would force his way through."
"Yeap…something like that. In any case, I will get my Minotaur Maids to extract the information. They learn a thing or two from Sebastia every time she returns from her duties."
"I guess that sounds good. After all, we have a lot to discuss and talk about."
