20 A WHAT?! (1/2)

Luna dashed towards Boni as fast as he could, but couldn't get to him in time.

Boni couldn't dodge in time either, despite the girl being meters away from him when he heard the Apple's warning. Raising his shield to meet the girl's fist, it actually formed a slight dent before he was sent flying.

Fear and shock was apparent in everyone's eyes, if even Boni, one of their strongest tanks was sent flying, wouldn't that mean instant death for the Agility based people? After seeing her punch not kill someone instantly, the girl raised her head and screamed. There was nothing particularly special about it, it just seemed like a normal girl screaming, but what followed next were zombies slowly appearing from the distance, exiting from a rift.

On Luna's command, Sura, Boni, Mabini, and himself, surrounded the girl as Luna sent out an order, ”The rest of you, intercept the incoming zombies!”

The moment the girl was done screaming, she looked towards Luna, sensing that this man seemed to be the leader.

”How could such an adorable little girl be so fierce?” Apple couldn't help but comment from the top.

The next second, the girl charged straight at Luna. Slashing at her from the side, leaped and twisted her body mid-air, narrowly dodging the attack. After she landed, instead of dashing forward, the girl finally showed a hint of fear in her eyes. Noticing this, Luna couldn't help but think that this girl might be reasoned with if she can show such a human expression. But he quickly removed that idea from his head,this child was, after all, the last opponent to claim the <Medium Territory>.

After recovering from the initial surprise, the girl dashed towards Luna again, this time, she actually grabbed his weapon by the opposite side of the blade and started pulling

”GRR!!” she 'growled', baring her teeth, as she kept attempting to pull it from him.

Luna with his one hand on the weapon actually struggled, before he started using both hands as he thought to himself ”You have got to be kidding me. She's actually trying to steal my weapon?!”

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the rest also saw her futile attempts to steal Luna's weapon and thought it was the most adorable scene ever. If it weren't for the fact that she almost obliterated Boni in one hit, that is.

In response to her attempts, Luna swiftly swing the weapon, carrying the girl with it, and slammed her on the Adamantite walls at full force, visibly damaging her as she bounced off of it, only to be slammed back by a shot from a turret. Sensing that she was fighting a losing fight, the little girl actually made a run for it.

This action made Luna's eye twitch in frustration, black marks appearing on his forehead expressing his agitation. This was a fight that could possibly end up in people dying, but due to the fact that their enemy had an appearance of a little girl, it felt a bit comical.

”Pursue her!” Luna barked as they gave chase, the girl ran the opposite direction of where the zombies were, attempting to jump into the neighboring houses to flee.

Reaching the northern edge of the <Medium Territory> she sprinted even faster, with Luna and Sura being the closest behind her. Right as she was about to leave the vicinity.

BONK!

”Eh?” Luna was surprised.

”N-no way...” Boni added.

”This isn't how a boss fight is supposed to go... right? Is that the queue for her rage mode?” Mabini suggested.

Looking at the situation, Luna immediately found out what was going on. It seems that once you challenge a territory, it would form a force shield to lock down that territory. Their home base being beside it must have been the only reason why it was included in the designated area.

But wasn't this a bit too comical? Then Luna suddenly had an idea in mind. Walking up to the little girl, he pointed his weapon at her and slowly drew closer, when it was a couple inches away from her, something suddenly stopped him from going forward as a notice popped in front of him.

<CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully claimed a Medium Territory and completed the bonus objective! The world needs to catch up!>

After seeing that same line again, everyone in the <Sovereign Nation> knew, that the whole world would hear their name again. Soon after, Luna received the bonuses he was expecting
