Adopted Soldier

Chapter 345

Michel who had cornered a single intruder was about to make him talk, but then she saw something sparkling inside the intruder’s mouth .

"All for our beloved ruler!" The intruder suddenly shouted and with that, his body suddenly exploded, when that happened Michel quickly backed away and took out a towering shield . It was a good thing that she responded quickly, as the bodies of the other intruders all started exploding .

The power of the explosion wasn’t enough to destroy the room or break through the shield Michel was holding . It was obvious that this wasn’t meant to take down an enemy, it was to keep their secrets safe . Still, the last intruder made a mistake, as he shouted for our beloved ruler . With that information at hand, Michel was able to narrow the suspects down to two people .

’This is either the work of the Emperor of the Granado Empire, or the crazy fool who calls himself the brother of the founder, Reghinald Berdonia . ’ While Michel was thinking about what to do next, she suddenly heard the sound of explosions, outside the room . She immediately came out and saw that the twentieth floor were her daughter and her friend were sleeping had smole coming out of it .

"LILITTH!"

. . .

A few hours before the explosion, another group of people had infiltrated the Samaritas land . Since all the maids and butlers were focused on the first intruders, they weren’t able to detect the second wave . When the maids and butlers finally noticed the disturbance it was too late, the intruders got to the twentieth floor, and they had an S rank merc with them, which easily dealt with the two guards protecting the floor .

"You guys hold back those maids and butlers . I’m sorry, but it’s sad to say that this is it for your lives, you will die here today . " The S rank merc spoke to his companions .

"It’s alright John, if it’s for our king and his dream of making Berdonia great, then we die happily . " One of the men answered, John wanted to say something more, but the maids and butlers of the house finally reached the floor and started attacking .

"May we meet again in Valhalla!" John said as he sprinted towards the bed were Lilitth and Niki lay .

. . .

The head maid was biting her lips in frustration, this was the biggest blunder in her life . She had only one job, and she wasn’t able to do it properly .

"Bring Yuuki-sama, and Mirai-sama to safety . Also, Contact Lady Michel immediately!" She knew the moment she saw John, that without Michel there might be more people dying today . That was a named merc, John the quickdraw, though he wasn’t at the level of the five strongest of Berdonia, he would still be able to hold them off, and if he wanted too, he could easily escape from them .

"We can’t contact lady Michel, we’re being jammed . " The butler in charge of communication responded in a dire tone .

"Damn it! Push forward we must protect Lilitth ojou-sama at all cost!" The head maid commanded while she herself joined the battle .

. . .

Lilitth had awaken because of the noises, and immediately got a hold of the steel rod she hid underneath her bed . Niki was also awake now and still a bit groggy . It was at that moment that the two heard a gunshot . Lilitth’s legs hands had a bullet pierce through it .

Niki who saw her best friend bleeding started screaming .

"It’s alright Niki, I’m alright!" After she said this Lilitth’s wound healed, and showed her best friend . Niki was surprised at the sudden changes in the situation . Yet there was no time to explain anything .

"Niki, please hide in the closet . "

"I can’t leave you here alone Lilitth!"

"It’s going to be alright . . . If you stay here, it will be harder for me to fight . " Niki looked at Lilitth and clenched her fist . She knew what Lilitth said was the undeniable truth, which made it hurt even more . Without complaining anymore Niki immediately ran towards the closet .

"Now that the girl is gone, how about you come quietly with me, you doll . " Lilitth looked at the man who spoke . He was a middle-aged man, that had four handguns dangling on his waist .

"Sorry mister, but my parents told me to never go with strangers . "

"A doll-like you . masquerading as a human . . . Well, whatever, if you won’t come quietly then I’ll have to use force . " Once he was done speaking, another sound of gunshots was heard, yet Lilitth with her enhanced senses couldn’t fully see the moment John drew his gun and fired .

The shots were aimed at Lilitth’s hands and legs, making her drop her weapon and kneel on the ground . Yet even with that much damage, the wounds healed quickly, and the moment she could move again Lilitth picked up her weapon and charged at John .

John was a bit surprised to see how quickly Lilitth moved, but that wasn’t enough to get him . John was able to easily evade the first strike since even though Lilitth was much faster than him, her movements were too linear . As he evaded John countered by shooting numerous bullets at Lilitth .

"If one shot isn’t enough, I just need to shoot you until you stop moving . It doesn’t seem like you’ll die even if I do that . "

. . .

Lilitth who was getting shot at, with no way of evading made it difficult for her to fight back . Even though her wounds were getting healed almost instantly, the pain she receives from the attacks were real . There were moments during the fight that she wanted to scream and faint, but she gritted her teeth and kept moving forward . Wasn’t the purpose of her training, was so that she wouldn’t be a burden so that she would be able to protect the ones she loves . With that motivation giving her strength, she kept on moving against an opponent that was beyond her current skill .

. . .

John was amazed by the doll’s tenacity . It also seemed that as they continued fighting she was getting better . It was then John decided he needed to end this faster . When John decided to go all out, he heard the sound of multiple explosions behind him . It would seem that his companions have started dying .

"I don’t have time to play with you anymore!"

. . .

Michel was extremely angered as she got a hold of a grappling gun from her armory while holding a halberd . She used the grappling gun to reach Lilitth’s room, since the elevator was currently unavailable, and taking the stairs was too long . So with her customized grappling gun Michel was able to reach her daughter’s room faster .

When she got to the floor were Lilitth was at, she saw her daughter breathing heavily while kneeling on the floor, bloodstains were all over her beautiful skin . Though there were no visible wounds, Michel knew that her daughter was severely injured and because of her body healing there were no visible wounds . Yet it was obvious that she lost too much blood to be able to move . The one who did this to her was looking at Lilitth, with contempt and disgust . When Michel saw this she screamed at the man .

"How dare you! How dare you do this to my beloved daughter!" It was at that moment, something deep within Michel snapped, and her body moved beyond what it was capable of . She felt some bullets pierced her shoulder and scratched her cheeks, but she didn’t care as she swung the halberd down .

John was able to dodge, but was a bit too late, making him lose an arm from that attack . Right now he was looking at Michel with a bit of fear . The lady with a thousand arms was fomous and was considered a top merc, but he didn’t expect her to be this frightening . It seems like the very air trembles before her presence .

"No one, not even God may lay a hand on my daughter!" Michel suddenly proclaimed as she stood in front of Lilitth .
