Adopted Soldier

Chapter 269

Lyner was getting excited as he charged forward while weaving his hands . The wires scattered about surrounding Richter, cutting off all areas of escape . This was the move that had spell death for all of Lyner’s opponents . In the heat of the moment Lyner had even forgotten that Alex was being held by Richter . As he was about to tighten his grip making the wires close in on Richter, effectively squeezing him to death, Lyner heard Niel’s voice .

"Sir Lyner!" Niel who was watching noticed that Lyner was about to make the killing move . It would seem that even Alex was going to get killed by this move . So Niel shouted at his overly excited teacher . Lyner who heard Niel shouting at him, was able to snap out of his battle trance and remembered that Richter was holding Alex . So in the last moments he shifted the positions of his wires . The wires that were suppose to squeeze Richter’s whole body was now simply going to wrap around Richter’s arms and legs .

’So it’s not only a handicap for Richter, Alex turned out to be a handicap for me as well . ’ Lyner licked his lips in delight, at the thought that he and Richter were actually having a somewhat fair fight .

Seeing the wires enclosing in on him, Richter tried to cut them apart using his combat knife, he even tried shooting at the wires, but those moves of his did nothing . Lyner’s wires were interlocked with one another making them thicker than normal . The wall of wires were impenetrable with the weapons Richter had in hand .

Richter then sighed as he clicked on a switch for the mini explosives he threw at the beginning of the fight . When he threw Alex and his guns, Richter also threw some mini explosives as well . He used misdirection to fool the monster of Berdonia .

Upon clicking the switch, the mini explosives started to light up, this alerted Lyner who then noticed that the mini explosives were near him and were about to explode .

Lyner who was not expecting there to be explosives in that location had Lost concentration for a moment as he evaded the explosives, giving Richter a chance to escape from the wires that surrounded him .

Lyner who had successfully evaded the explosives, knew that Richter could have heavily wounded him if he waited for Lyner to move in closer . Yet he activated the explosives early most probably to escape from Lyner’s attack .

That level of planning was beyond someone like Lyner who went about battle by instinct alone .

This only made Lyner even more excited as he once again tried to surround Richter with his wires . Yet now that he was aware of that move, Richter started moving erratically and in a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye .

Richter then got near Lyner and was able to get behind him . He once again threw Alex’s body upwards so that he could attack properly . If it was anyone else that was being tossed around like this, they might have died but Alex’s body was stronger than most so his body could take the rough treatment .

As Richter was about to attack Lyner in his blindspot, wires suddenly appeared before him . Richter could only back off as he saw this . He jumped backward and caught the thrown Alex .

’He uses his wires for both offense and defense . . . Wait a minute . . . Why am I trying to fight him anyway?’ Richter suddenly realized that he was drawn into Lyner’s pace . He wasn’t even suppose to be fighting the man, since he just needed to escape . He could deal with Lyner later, what’s more important now was to secure his grandson .

Lyner who saw the old man stop moving, was confused as well . What was he planning? When Lyner thought of this question, Richter suddenly threw all his guns above Lyner’s head . Seeing this unexpected move, Lyner unconsciously reacted by surrounding the area within a meter of himself with wires .

Richter knew that once he threw his guns, Lyner who fought by instinct would automatically react like that . Once Lyner was distracted Richter fled the scene with Alex in tow . As he was running Richter checked his watch and saw that there was only two minutes left before his subordinates arrive to pick him up .

. . .

Lyner who saw the fleeing Richter clicked his tongue and chased after the old man . The two superhumans started doing parkour as one fled and the other chased . While Lyner was chasing Richter, the old man placed explosives on key areas that helped to slow down Lyner .

Seeing as the two of them had nearly the same speed, Richter who was carrying Alex couldn’t outran Lyner who was as fast as him . So slowly but surely Lyner was catching up, but at the moment Lyner was about to reach Richter, he heard a chopper coming near them .

One person inside the chopper started shooting at Lyner . This gave Richter enough time to toss his grandson onto the chopper . Lyner who saw this was going to catch Alex using his wires, but the moment he did so he was blocked by the old man .

After successfully blocking Lyner’s wires, Richter threw all of his mini explosives at Lyner which he then made them explode at the same time . Lyner knew what was going to happen next, so instead of avoiding the explosives, he jumped forwards . Using his wires he was able to fling most of the explosives away from him, but the others still hit him hard .

The explosion tore his shirt and bits of his skin, his forearms which he used to cover his face was burnt a bit . The overall damage Lyner received was enough to have killed a normal man . Yet Lyner simply gritted his teeth, and pushed onward .

He then stretched out his hands and was about to grab onto the chopper, but then before his hand could reach, Richter got a hold of Lyner’s outstretched hand . Lyner was going to struggle, but because of the damage he has taken from the explosives, he couldn’t escape from Richter’s grip .

Richter whose damage was already healed by the nanomachines held up Lyner and spoke to him .

"You’ve surprised me monster of Berdonia . I didn’t expect you to be this strong, but your chase ends here . You get to live today since I have more important matters to attend to . Next time you meet me, you won’t be so lucky . "

Richter then let go of Lyner’s hand making him free fall a few hundred feet above ground . Lyner who was falling from such a height was still calm as he smiled at the old man inside the chopper . While he was falling towards the ground, he used his wires to stop himself from going splat onto the street .

Lyner threw a knife with a wire attached to it onto one building and another onto the building next to it . This created a platform for which Lyner stood balancing himself .

Lyner who was now standing in a thin wire that he attached to the nearby buildings looked at the fading helicopter . He could see Richter look at him one last time before turning his back on him, as if he didn’t care anymore .

"Richter Greyhound . . . Who knew such a person existed . I guess today was your win, but the next time won’t be as easy . " Lyner who had lost, and was unable to rescue Alex, still smiled that fearless smile of his .
