Chapter 268: Heroine Chapter: Insolent bastards [1/2]
Chapter POV: Aki Miroku
___
Ever since he became my master, I have always watched him. This man, kind to a fault, extremely loving and unyielding like steel. And he was enraged. More so than when I tried to kill him.
Although there was a big difference between the current situation and what I did a few days ago. Back then, I was careful not to do any harm to anyone but him. This was his absolute bottom line.
My master may have been a monster when you were in a fight with him, but if you touched his loved ones, he would turn into a demon.
The Sirens, who all saw the wrath of the one we loved, knew how to respond.
"Jas."
Faster than the eye could see, the ebony death stalker blasted the head of the so-called leader.
"Robyn."
The white-tailed spider danced as if there were a hundred of her. In less than a few seconds, the members of the 2nd Amendment, Phillip, and the Saint were all safely on our side.
Even though we were technically surrounded by over a thousand people. But right now, I don't think anyone was even thinking about that fact. Everyone's focus was on the huge mass of souls erupting from my master.
'He must have invoked {Limitless}.'
"Liv."
Probably understanding her role, our northerner slammed her shield in front of the injured. Considering what we knew of my master. There was only one way this could go.
If John Smith willingly massacred 26 Reapers in cold blood, just for association. What would happen to the hundreds here who were not only hurt his people, but also threatened his harem?
"Lilly."
"Yes, dear?"
"No one survives."
"Yes, dear."
'Of course it would be like this. Fortunately, none of my sisters had any problems with the task. If only those fools hadn't touched someone from Administration, they might have at least kept their lives.'
"I! LILLY BROWNING! KINDRED OF LIMITLESS, BY MY COMMAND AUTHORIZE THE USE OF LETHAL FORCE! SPARE NO ONE! SEVEN SIRENS! OPEN COMBAT!"
"W-what! What are you talk..." a man tried to reason before a bullet pierced his forehead.
"Sirens, please switch to wordless communication, honey, you too."
This was one of the tactics the Sirens planned while Master fondled his guns like a pervert.
"Since everyone has {Code}. I will set up a server, just connect to it so we can fight without speaking," Bella suggested.
I closed my eyes and called Bella's {Fate}.
"{Connect}."
[Inari connected, Welcome to the Minerva Network!]
[Members online: Minerva (Admin), Henry, Alphonso, Sabel, Ishtar, Rhiannon, Vela, Satis]
[Exa connected]
[Minerva: let's wait for Liv. Ishtar, can you let my kids out to play?]
[Ishtar: okay.]
[Satis: Exa, why is husband not here? Tell him that I will eliminate all members of their command structure. So he can rage to his heart's content.]
[Exa: On behalf of Limitless, Roger that, Satis]
[Rhiannon: Slag, tell Possum everyone is safe, I gave them {heal} tablets. And where is he?]
[Exa: I thank you in the name of Limitless, Rhiannon. Limitless is currently torturing the leader of this group. He is busy at the moment.]
[Freyja connected]
[Freyja: Apologies for being late.]
[Minerva has muted the chat]
[Minerva: Everyone is here. I will give you all the situation. We have over nine hundred enemies surrounding us. Most of them Wraiths with about thirty Phantoms from different groups. Ishtar, over 700 of them are rogues. They have no registration on any battlefront.]
[Minerva: We can kill everyone without issues. Mostly because Ishtar is present and they have messed with someone from Administration. Our vanguard will be Ishtar. Rhiannon and Inari will accompany her. Freyja and I will guard our wounded. Satis, Vela and my children will clean up.]
[Minerva has unmuted the chat]
[Rhiannon: Get stuffed, Bella! Stop muting people just because you can!]
[Ishtar: I find your abuse of power quite deplorable as well.]
[Vela: Who cares! Everyone lets party! Most kills gets a date with Darling!]
[Freyja: Anyone want to trade with me? I can defend, but...]
[Satis: Minerva, get me vision of the northwest as soon as possible.]
[Minerva: On it. Vela, feel free to use Alphonso as a mount. Henry, form a perimeter around my position. Sabel track everyone in the battle zone.]
[Vela: Thanks!]
[Alfonso | Henry | Sabel: Yes Mother.]
The advantage of using {Connect} was that we could communicate faster than words. Almost at the speed of thought. As long as we were connected to Bella, we were part of her network.
A loud crash came as Bella's children entered the battlefield. They were made up of the latest hardware when it came to unmanned combat. I was actually the first to question Bella about her supposed "children".
After all, if she was a risk to Master, I would kill her even if I had to earn his ire.
However, Bella proudly gushed and praised her children as she introduced them, as if she were bragging about her flesh and blood. They were a trio of highly advanced tactical combat artificial intelligences she had developed.
Lilly-sama then spoke to her GRI and instructed those in charge.
"This is Reaper NA20010329-FRM, Administratio, seal off the receiving area and call the White Guard. 700 hostile rogues have invaded the battlefront."
A blinding light then erupted from the ground around our battle zone, sealing us in. Of course, Administration had taken precautions in case the battlefront was attacked.
[Ishtar: Inari, Rhiannon. Please keep up, I am advancing!]
[Rhiannon: Hmph. The date with the possum is mine!]
[Inari: Roger that, Ishtar-sama.]
Wordlessly, the Sirens moved. Lilly-sama, Robyn and I rushed forward, past my master. He was busy torturing the ringleader. Considering how merciless his face was. Everyone chose to focus on his orders instead.
[Alphonso: Lady Vela, please get on.]
[Vela: Wow! You're even bigger than I thought! Aren't you a tank?]
[Alphonso: I am in a sense, Lady Vela]
[Vela: Your Bella's son, right? Call me aunt!]
[Sabel: Mother, the Puma 3 AE is airborne and heading northwest. The Skydio X2E has started mapping while the Hornets have started reconnaissance. Three Switchblades are also airborne].
[Henry: Mother, I have deployed the MAARS around the 2nd Amendment. Beginning extermination.]
[Minerva: Well done, my children! Everyone! Sabel's readings just came in. Uploading tactical data.]
Alphonso, Henry and Sabel had unique specialties, according to Bella. They specialized in frontline combat, area suppression, and aerial reconnaissance, respectively.
And as machines, they had not even an ounce of mercy.
Despite the fact that the Wraiths were armed with manifested weapons, their bodies remained human. Screams rang out as the Sirens and Bella's children began to slaughter their enemies.
