Adopted Soldier Chapter 316

Chapter 316
Rachel had no time to stop moving as she went to attack the nearest agent . The next person in her line of sight was Lisa, who was continuously firing rubber bullets at her . This wasn't really a problem, since not only was Rachel's strength enhanced when she was at her full RELEASE state, but all her senses get enhanced as well .
Rachel seeing the incoming rubber bullets dodged some of them and caught the others . Upon catching the rubber bullets she flicked them back at Lisa . Rachel's firing rate by flicking the rubber bullets was actually comparable to Lisa's full auto firing rate . Seeing this inhuman act made Lisa scream in her mind, as she evaded the incoming rubber bullets .
'The f*ck is that! This isn't S rank, this is f*cking SS rank! That girl isn't human anymore!' Lisa started screaming this in her mind . It was at that moment that she just blinked, and Rachel was no longer in front of her . Lisa then heard a loud boom from above, Hektor was there and she saw that he had kicked Rachel away .
Rachel was about to hit Lisa from above with a kick, but then Hektor intervened . Rachel who was kicked away was able to balance herself quickly and once again charge forward . Rachel then felt someone was behind her which made her do a spinning back kick, blowing away Amica who tried to stealthily attack .
Amica who blocked the attack with her two arms, coupled with the armor provided by the Shadow Mercenaries uniform, still had her right arm broken . Samuel who was watching from afar suddenly signaled the others to disperse . When he saw the others move aside Samuel threw all the grenades he had, and the others followed suit .
Rachel who saw the incoming grenades stomped on the ground, lifting a large portion of earth upward, making a makeshift shield . After doing this, Rachel quickly stepped back as far as she could . The grenades hit the wall of earth and exploded . The explosion was so strong Rachel's eardrums couldn't stop ringing . The surrounding trees were no longer present, as the area they were fighting had the trees blown into tiny bits .
While smoke filled the area, the shadow mercenaries who saw the destruction couldn't help but facepalm . Some of them especially Samuel were regretting their decision at the moment . They needed to capture Rachel alive, but they actually attacked with the intent to kill .
The reason they did this was because that got a bit confused by Rachel's strength and aggressiveness . They weren't expecting her to be so powerful, it was like they were fighting Richter himself .
"Sh*t did we actually kill her?!" Daryl suddenly shouted, and at the same time he screamed something bursted out of the smoke . It was rocks, Rachel was now throwing rocks at them, and with that speed and power of hers, the rocks look like speeding bullets . Hektor was able to take all the damage as he blocked most of the rocks coming his way .
Daryl who was caught by surprise was unable to dodge on time and was hit on his right leg . When Rachel saw that she got Daryl, making him unable to move properly now, Rachel dashed towards him . Seeing Rachel heading his way, Daryl had no choice but to take her head on .
Lisa and Samuel provided support fire, but that did nothing, not even slowing Rachel down . Amica on the other hand, was now hiding from a distance waiting for a chance to strike, while Hektor stood in front of Daryl blocking Rachel's way .
Seeing Hektor in front of her Rachel was about to punch him with all her strength, but then she saw a throwing knife nearing her . Daryl was able to throw that throwing knife, without Rachel noticing since Hektor was blocking her view . Rachel now needed to choose, if she would evade or continue her attack .
Hektor was so sure that Rachel would dodge, that he wasn't planning to defend, instead the moment Rachel evades he would start attacking her . That was when the opposite happened, Rachel got hit by the throwing knife . It pierced onto her left shoulder, Rachel who was full of adrenaline couldn't feel the pain as she initiated her attack .
Hektor who wasn't expecting Rachel to continue her attack couldn't defend on time, as Rachel punched him in his solar plexus . Hektor had no other option except to tighten his abdominal muscles, as Rachel's punch finally hit him . That one punch from Rachel literally took his breath away . Rachel's punch felt like he was being hit by a something large, like an elephant or maybe something even bigger . Hektor who was blown away coughed up blood, and lay unconscious a few feet away .
When Rachel saw this she couldn't help but smile, as she finally had a chance to finish one of them . Without any hesitation Rachel charged forward towards Hektor's position . When the other Shadow Mercenaries saw what Rachel was planning, they started to attack her from behind . Lisa and Samuel continued to shoot Rachel with rubber bullets, while Daryl kept on throwing daggers at the non-vital parts of Rachel's body .
Amica on the other hand used a blowgun that was loaded with a tranquilizer dart that could even make an elephant faint . Yet even though she was able to hit Rachel from behind, this didn't seem to stop Rachel from charging forward .
. . .
Right now Rachel was full of bruises, and she had some daggers sticking out from her body . Still she continued onward towards Hektor, with only the thought of finishing off at least one enemy . As she neared Hektor and was about to unleash the final blow, she felt extreme pain all throughout her body .
'No! Not now, please not now!' Rachel screamed in her mind, as the backlash of using full RELEASE finally came . While feeling intense pain, her body suddenly stopped functioning and she fell onto the ground with a thud . The pain made her cry even though she didn't want to . As the pain increased her conscious was gradually fading, until finally she fainted .
The members of the Shadow Mercenaries who saw what happened to Rachel, didn't feel any joy . They looked at each other ashamed by the outcome . They were actually pushed back this much by one girl . Once Richter sees them in such a sorry state, he might actually kill them .
They couldn't blame him, since they too wanted to kill themselves . They already said that they would take this seriously, but what happened?! They ambushed Rachel and outnumbered her but they were still the ones who were almost defeated . If not for the limitations of the technique RELEASE Hektor would be dead now .
If they actually set up traps before hand, this battle would've been much easier . Heck when they saw Rachel use full RELEASE they shouldn't have engaged . They should've tried wasting time, while stopping her from escaping until the backlash of full RELEASE took her down .
In the end they still acted arrogantly, thinking that even if a little girl like Rachel uses such a technique it wouldn't amount to much . This time the members present truly discarded their arrogance . When they head out to capture Evangeline, they would do it as cautiously as possible . They would treat Evangeline with the same threat level as an SS rank merc .
