A WHAT?!

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 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 swung 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 the 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 of 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

----------------------------

Leader Bonus:

1,000,000 VIS!

<Draconic Armor>

First <Medium Territory> Owner Bonus 10,000,000 VIS!

Adamantium walls to surround your territory!

Intermediate Automated Turrets x 16

Intermediate Dome-shaped Force Field

----------------------------

The bonuses were almost the same, albeit on a larger scale, besides the armor he received, which he opted to investigate after things have settled down. The new force field would be large enough to protect the territory, with enough turrets to cover defend the territory properly.

With this new, nearly impenetrable fortress to the North of his <Territory>, Luna could begin plans to expand towards the South, where his new targets would be the schools he had been eyeing beforehand.

Right after the territory bonuses were received, the one for the objective reward came right after.

<You have two choices!>

<Eliminate Objective for massive EXP and a large bonus of VIS> or <Claim Bonus Objective Reward>

The decision didn't take much thought. EXP he could always grind for, and VIS to come along with it. But the Bonus objective reward, like the Life Tree, would bring unimaginable benefits!

"Claim bonus objective reward!"

<Congratulations! Binding <Daughter of the Earth> to your soul!>

As soon as he read those last lines, the little girl suddenly woke up and dove towards him. After getting surprised by the notice, Luna couldn't react in time.

But the vicious assault he was expecting didn't come. Instead, it was a warm embrace, and out of nowhere he heard, "Fa...ther."

Whether it was for another reason or the fact that Sura's soul was also bound to Luna's, the little girl looked at her with her bright eyes, pointed at her, and said, "Mo...ther?"

Right around this time, the rest of the members finally caught up to them, noticing that the adorable demon child from earlier was embracing Luna so lovingly, everyone was confused.

Elise went up to Boni as she asked the question everybody wanted to know the answer to, "Boni, what's going on?"

Boni turned to look at Elise and the rest with a confused smile on his face as he pointed towards Luna's direction.

"I-it seems as if, Luna and Sura just found a daughter."

Everyone had a blank expression on their face for a second then they all yelled in unison.

"A WHAT?!"
