17 Maid Attack Part 3 (1/2)
Dark Lord of Tartarus
***
Aesyla and Mira entered the cave and several running footsteps can be heard from within. It was the soldiers from the outside that ran inside the mine.
The mine has lamps all around the walls, this made moving forward easy – but even if the cave doesn't have any lights, the maids will have no problem with it for their master gave them a special ability.
As the two maids walk in further the mine, they saw the soldiers lined up in a defensive position. Magic rifles and Bullet Machine Guns all pointed at the maids.
”Oh here they are.” Aesyla said.
”Wow, they're really preparing for us. Haha, they've all lined up.”
The maids find this amusing because they know, they're nothing but trash that needs to be cleaned up to have a clear and clean way.
”ALL UNITS FIRE AT WILL!”
As soon the soldiers had a clear sight of their enemy, they immediately opened fire.
Rains of bullets and magic particles were headed for the maids as well as the Greater Skeleton Warriors and Rock Golems.
The skeletons used their shields to defend against the soldiers' attack while the golems used their arms.
The maids, however, did nothing but stood still.
”EVERYONE KEEP AT IT!”
Loads of machine gun bullet shells fell to the ground and countless bullets flew to the maids – the maids were at the very front so they are the ones who took most of the enemy attacks.
After several seconds has passed, the ammo of the machine guns has run out while the magic rifles have overheated so they stopped their firing. But what they saw shocked them.
”W-What the hell?”
”I-Impossible.”
”No way.”
Several mutterings came from the confused soldiers.
They saw the maids upfront were unharmed, there was not even a scratch. They didn't believe it, but it was apparently evident.
The bullets were all on the ground. They don't understand anything.
”What are you?!”
A soldier cried out and opened fire at the maids with his magic rifle. The soldier fired for about ten seconds, and after that, his eyes widened in shock.
The magic particles just disappeared right before it could hit their skin.
”W-w-w—what?
The soldier asked quietly as he tried to ponder what is happening.
”Are you finished with your welcome humans?” Mira said.
”No, follow up attack?” Aesyla said.
The soldiers wanted to attack again, but after they have seen that their attack did not harm the maids, their hands won't move. If they can't even damage them, what's the point of fighting back against them one more time?
”Are they invulnerable?”
One of the soldiers quietly asked, but of course, as a werewolf, Mira could hear the man and so she answered his question.
”Well, for you? Technically yes. You humans are very weak I should say.”
The soldier shrugged in surprise as the maid answered his quiet question.
”She can hear me?”
”Of course, wolves have keen ears, so why would she not hear you from that distance.” Aesyla answered.
The soldiers didn't understand the maid's words, what do wolves have to do with it?
”As I see, you have no intention to resist anymore, so I guess it is our turn.” Aesyla said.
”Let me handle them.”
Aesyla looked at Mira.
”—Fine. But don't use any magic.”
”I know.” Mira said in a cheerful voice.
Using magic inside a tight space in a mine would be very dangerous and foolish. It's possible that using a spell inside the mine would cause it to collapse. If they would cause the mine to collapse, it would be too troublesome to get their goal, it won't just be troublesome but also will be very difficult, especially when they are not supposed to take too long. The master would be disappointed if they fail this trivial task.
Mira walked forward and slowly approached the soldiers.
The soldiers took a step back as Mira slowly approach.
Mira readied her staff and held it tightly on her right hand – getting ready to take out the humans. She held her staff in a way that it was in a diagonal position – the top edge is lower and lower edge higher.
As Mira approach the soldier, their fear began to escalate with every step. Her broad smile only increased her beauty, but that is not to be admired with. Ultimately when they know their death is coming.
”E-Everyone s-shoot! We won't go down without a fight!”
There was a delay of response after their leader said that, but after the delay, they opened fire to the maid. Of course, it's all nothing.
All of their attacks just disappeared and bullets only fell to the ground.
Mira ran to the soldiers and waved her staff to every enemy, she even able to take out multiple enemies with a single swing.
They didn't last for even ten seconds, they were all taken out in a swift. Some were cut in half and some may not, but taken a brutal damage so they didn't even live long for a few seconds.
Mira looked at her staff.
”Aaaw, there's blood all over my staff.”
She waved her staff vigorously to make the blood fly off the staff.
”There's a little bit left, I should clean it later.”
”Let's continue on Mira.”
”Yes.”
They moved further into the mine until they saw two pathways.
”Hmm, I guess I'll take right, you take left.” Aesyla said.
”All right. No problem.”
When they were about to take a step Mira heard a high pitch sound. She held out her hand to indicate to stop.
”Sounds… From the left and right pathways.” Mira said.
”Sounds?”
Mira watched the left while Aesyla on the right. They readied their weapons.
Then after a few seconds, the source of the sounds finally revealed themselves.
”What?” Aesyla said.
