"Surround the building! Make sure no monsters or unknown individuals escape!" A female soldier in her mid-30s commanded her troops as she glanced at the structure.
She had a finely toned body, long, beautiful black hair, and an alluring, captivating beauty. Clad in her military armor, she held an assault rifle with practiced ease.
"Roger that," the soldiers responded. They drew their weapons and began to encircle the building.
"Commander, the local arcane fighters of A and B rank will be here from the guild in a few minutes. Should we wait for them before entering the building?" a man asked from behind her.
"There is no time," she replied calmly. "We need to move now, or Valerian's daughter, Olivia, could lose her life. I don't need those local fighters' help; I can kill these bastards all by myself." Her refusal to wait for the arcane fighters made the soldiers glance at each other, taken aback by her bold decision.
She was an S-rank fighter, one of the few people in the world whom any country or great family would eagerly request to join their side.
"Roger that" Soldier responded. They took out their weapons and started to surround the building.
Soon a soldier walked to them and reported "Commander, we have surrounded the building, we can proceed inside"
"Outstanding! Follow me" She commanded as they walked inside the building with a weapon.

"Military? I need to get out of here! They must have been called by that girl lying on the ground... Wait, is she alright? When did she fall unconscious?" I wondered, glancing at the girl as Aria clung to my waist. I used some mana to check if the girl was breathing. Seeing that she had indeed fallen unconscious, I then turned my gaze to the succubus.
But then I saw that the succubus was staring at me without any expression. "What happened to her? Why is she looking at me like that? Is she planning something sinister? I need to keep my Aria safe at any cost!"
I pondered the situation, trying to find a way to escape. Then I noticed the giant hole in the wall that Aria had created. "Good, that's our way out."
"Papa! Papa! That woman is staring at you! She's been looking at you for so long! Papa... May I go and kill her now?" Aria asked cutely, her voice filled with anger and envy because the succubus' eyes were on me.
I was shocked to hear her words about killing. A little girl like her shouldn't even think about killing. "Aria, why do you want to kill her? How could you become so enraged?"
"I want to kill her because she is staring at you. She is thinking of doing something bad to you, Papa! Please let me kill her," Aria shouted in rage.
"I understand, but how did you find that out? Can you read her mind?" I asked, trying to keep Aria close to me.
Meanwhile, the succubus hovered in the air, her eyes narrow as she examined my features. She then fixated on my pink, heart-shaped eyes. "That boy... He looks so handsome, and his white hair is shining. I would love to consume his life essence, but what is that? His eyes are pink and emitting a bizarre energy. I can sense he is not an ordinary human! And that little girl behind him possesses exceptional power. I need to inform our king about her existence!"
The succubus in the air was about to escape when she suddenly halted and turned to look behind me. She felt a strange sensation she had never experienced before, especially not towards a male. "What's happening to me? Why did my body suddenly stop... wait, that human."
The succubus turned back, her wide-open eyes locked onto me. She discovered something shocking and let out a sweet chuckle before disappearing into the air.
Aria and I both stopped, stunned by the succubus's smile and sudden disappearance. "Her smile... I'm sure she will come after me for some personal gain," I thought, uneasy.
I shifted my gaze to Aria. Her eyes were fixated on the spot where the succubus had vanished, filled with hatred and jealousy, determined to ensure my safety by eliminating any threat.
Suddenly, two smoke grenades were thrown inside from the entrance door, filling the space with mist in no time. The front gate blew open as military soldiers cautiously burst in.
I immediately grabbed Aria's hand and ran toward the exit hole. "Aria, hold on! We are leaving!"
"Papa, who are they? Are they going to hurt us?" Aria asked, glancing at the soldiers in black military gear with automatic rifles.
"Yes, they will if we get caught."
"Then I will kill them if they try to hurt us, Papa," Aria declared, stopping and preparing to confront the soldiers. Before she could take a step, I pulled her into an embrace and rushed toward the exit.
Aria's face flushed as she realized she was being carried like a princess. She clung tightly to my attire with both her soft hands, her eyes once again turning obsessed.
"What the hell! I just met my cute, beautiful daughter. It feels like a dream, but why does she have this desire to kill? What has Aurelia been teaching her?" I mused as Aria stayed in my embrace. I was quite surprised to see that she had become silent, her rage and envy fading away as if she had transformed into a pure, innocent child.
I reached outside of factors and was about to flee but I was confronted by a soldier.
"Stop you there!"
I glanced at the soldier, who had his gun pointed at Aria with a hostile stance. Quickly, I turned around and shielded Aria behind me.
"There's only one of them. I could easily take him, but Aria is with me. I need to ensure her safety and get away," I thought to myself, murmuring a low-level wind spell to leap over the iron fences.
Aria slowly peeked from behind me and cast a glance at the soldier with a mixture of disgust and defiance. However, to my surprise, the soldier seemed to lose his composure upon seeing Aria's face.
Her soft pink skin, long hair resembling jade, and her two pink eyes seemed to enchant the soldier, clouding his judgment.
He dropped his rifle to the ground and approached, reaching out towards Aria.
"She's so beautiful! I want her!"
I didn't let that maniacal soldier lay a finger on Aria. With a swift leap over the iron fences, I safely reached the other side with her.
"Aria, are you okay? Let Papa know if you're hurt!" I asked anxiously, holding Aria tightly after we had jumped to the other side.
"I'm fine, Papa!" Aria replied, returning my embrace. I sighed with relief and glanced back at the man, but what happened next left me in disbelief.
"Give me that girl! Aaahhhh!" The man on the other side of the fence screamed, desperately trying to force his way through. However, the iron rods held firm, refusing to yield. He continued to push against them, and within moments, blood began to pour from his body.
I watched in horror as the man, driven mad by Aria's extraordinary beauty and unearthly presence, relentlessly pressed himself against the rods. His skull and limbs became impaled, his eyes bulging from their sockets. Despite the excruciating pain, he didn't relent, ultimately succumbing to his injuries and dying right there.
I was horrified by the lengths to which this man had gone to reach Aria. Quickly, I placed my hands over Aria's eyes to shield her from the gruesome sight. "Aria, don't look over there!"
I spoke urgently and immediately led us away from the factory, leaving behind the man's lifeless body tangled in the rods.
———————————————
The Female soldier Entered the factory as the soldiers followed her lead, She looked surroundings and saw that many men in black dresses were lying on the ground.
"Commander, there!" A soldier pointed toward a girl lying unconscious and struggling to breathe.
"Valerian Olivia!" She shouted seeing her on the ground and fearing she was in danger. She walked toward her cautiously and checked her condition. She sighed in relief that Olivia passed away from exhaustion.
"Call the healer now"
Two men immediately took away Olivia's unconscious body from the building, The female soldier sifted her gaze to the dead men and minion corpses.
"Did Olivia kill those all rats?" She blankly looked at that the Minions were dead. Their heads and other limbs were cut off as if someone cut butter, for her these rats were nothing to be afraid of.
As she walked deeper into the mist, she found Alan's headless body, his body was untouched but his head was scattered in pieces "Who killed him? Olivia can't kill that E-rank monster even if she uses her family's bestowed heavenly flame! But his wounds don't seem cut by the sword rather a long-range projectile" But what she saw next her mouth was opened wide.
"Commander look this!" Her soldier called out her presence, she let go of Minion's body and went to see what the soldiers called her for.
"What is this?"
"I don't know commander?"
The soldier's and commander's expressions become staggered to see the giant hole in the walls, the side of the building was blown away entirely and its rubbles were erased from existence.
"Whatever happened here is someone probably was fighting against monsters with rank A or could be higher" The female soldier examined the whole wall and touched the brick.
"This energy? What is this?" The female soldier becomes perplexed to find a peculiar energy on the bricks and irons.
Suddenly, another soldier approached, panting. "Commander, one of our men is dead!"
She didn't seem surprised by the news. "Where is his body?"
"Commander, over there," he pointed towards the fence where many soldiers were gathered, staring at the dead man impaled between the iron rods.
The female soldier reached his body and saw that he was stuck in rods. The soldiers standing there felt horrified to see his body while their commander coldly stared at him.
"He wasn't forced by any other monster to get himself killed. Judging by his condition, he pushed himself into the fences with his own wish. But why does he want to kill himself? I" She murmured and examined, she concluded that he was desperately trying to reach another of the fence. He looked there but there wasn't anything.
"Take him back to the headquarters and tell the Mahia to examine his body!" She said to the soldiers. They immediately picked his body from the fence and took him in the armoured vehicle.
The female soldier stood in the same place with a worried expression, she glanced at the hole and thought that something big going to happen.
———————————————
"We are safe now, they can't chase us from this distance" I looked behind and saw that have travelled a safe distance from the military soldiers.
"Papa Papa, will those people come after us, Are they going to hurt us? Tell me papa" Aria asked and clung to my body. She was afraid that those people would come after us. I gave her a gentle smile and petted her head.
"I don't know my daughter, but if they come after us I will protect you, I promise that I won't let them lay a finger on my princess" I spoke seriously yet with a tender voice, Aria nodded and leaned her head on my shoulders.
"Papa... I love, I love you so much, please don't ever leave me alone I wanna stay with you forever, Papa!" she murmured in my ears tightening her grip on my shirt as if she could lose me anytime.
"I will not leave you Aria, I didn't say before that I always stay at your side, so don't worry Papa will always be with you, I love you too my daughter" I hugged Aria back and reassured her that I would not leave her by any means.
She nodded her head and looked at me with a blushing cheek and obsessive eyes. She slowly moved her face closer to mine and was about to kiss my lips "Wait stop! Aria you can't kiss my lips it is wrong"
I stop Aria and see her lips are only a few centimetres away from mine. Aria turned sad when I stopped her from touching my lips "Papa, Why did you stop me? I want to kiss you, Didn't you say that you love me? Please let me kiss you"
She becomes desperate to kiss my lips and forces my hand away, I can't resist her strength much longer the more she becomes desperate her strength will increase.
"Papa let me kiss, please let me kiss you! I told you that I love please let me kiss you then!"
Before she could touch my lips I leaned toward her face and kissed her forehead "Chuu~"
I continued to kiss her forehead until she calmed down, her desperation soon faded and became relaxed. Aria gradually wrapped her hand around my neck and closed her eyes as she immersed herself in my kiss.
After Kissing her for a few minutes I looked at her and saw Aria's face completely turn red and her body warm-up "Papa please kiss me more!"
"It's enough for now let go home it's already midnight now" I held Aria tightly in my embrace and went toward the home where Mom was waiting for me, But I forgot that my appearance had changed, that I had white, pink eyes, and was also going to show her my daughter.
