Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"That's..."

Amari made a face as he held his tongue. Whatever the answer was, he seemed to hesitate to say it.

Mia sighed deeply before speaking on behalf of her lover.

"Choco, stop trying to protect your siblings. It doesn't help, and we might end up insulting Limitless instead. Look, you all should know the main reason why the assault teams are struggling, right?"

Wordlessly, I nodded.

It felt so good to finally understand shit for a change. Since this was going to be my new life, every bit of info I learned would only make me wiser. Humbling myself to ask Phillip was a great choice. Now I didn't have to look like an idiot in front of everyone.

A nugget of wisdom I got from Noelle was to be as stupid as you need to be while it was the first time. The actual quote was something along the lines of "If you don't ask, you'll never learn, it's much better to be stupid once than to be stupid forever".

This piece of advice made me not be afraid to admit when I didn't understand something. While you did get the typical condescending asshole once in a while, most of the time people were quite happy to teach you.

"Right, so it's like this. When Limitless was kicking ass, most people wondered how you could even manage your supply lines for ammunition. That was what kept others from using firearms, right? The world gave you one week. But instead of dying, you evolved into a Phantom," Mia explained.

Ho? It seemed that not only North America, but the world was waiting to see what I could do. The headlines from my first night were pretty clickbaity after all.

"Since it was impossible for you to gain so many souls from the common undead alone, both Europe and Africa believed that you must have found a way to deal with the tainted undead. This meant that you had a way to farm blessings, or an ability on par with the manifested. Otherwise, you would have died by now, because the tainted cannot be killed by the Formless."

I see. Even though my information was leaked, Zach was careful. Time-wise, Aira spied on me for more than a few days. I fought my first night on Monday, July 24th, 2023. The first seven dirge sirens showed Aira my potential.

On July 25th, my second night, I received the Sacreds from Yvonne and Golden Wick. I spent that evening perfecting what would eventually become Maneuver AB. That night, I used the blessed rounds that would eventually become the Sacreds for the first time.

The next morning, the 26th, I asked Aira what I could do to win the Seeker War. Her analysis and suggestions led me to redesign the {Kismet} classes. The redesign led me to create the unified {Kismet}, {Limitless}.

This was the same event that revealed Aira's betrayal and created my new AI, Exa. This simply meant that in terms of timing, while Aira didn't know that I had changed my fighting style, she did know that I could reuse Sacreds.

However, when I received the data leak that Aki had, there was no mention of this fact. That's probably why she wasn't expecting it when we dueled. Likewise, Vincent and Lucrecia's research did not reveal this either.

Which begs the question, why did Zach deliberately remove any mention of me using Sacreds from the data he leaked to the world? As a result, while Europe and Africa came to the same conclusion, it was based on conjecture, not evidence.

I had no obligation to reveal my cards to Amari and Mia. While I planned to sell Devil's Remains to the other battlefront, David's Administration blocked that avenue as they bought everything at a premium.

"Would you believe that I have only fought the tainted undead once? I have yet to fight beyond the 11th floor. You probably figured that out from my nickname and my weapon. I have unlimited bullets. Instead of going higher, Hellsend and I killed everything from the 6th to the 10th floor."

"..."

Upon hearing my words, Amari and Mia flinched. Even though the two of them were powerful, they could not fight forever. I saw this during the enlistment.

Soulforms in exchange for their massive power seemed to be incredibly exhausting. At least that was what Isolde told me. It was only when the Inari Skewers were sold that she was able to fight for longer periods of time.

"Ignoring the fact that you were completely off the mark, what does the army coming in two months intend to do?" I asked cautiously.

"Limitless, my continent is powerful. However, our Reapers haven't been able to do much because we are constantly besieged by demons and floor breaks from Asia. No other continent knows more about the importance of saints and sacred energy than we do.

"The mere thought of someone being able to reuse blessings became a hope for our dire circumstances. If Africa could use you to farm the devil's remains, or if you could somehow remove malice even as a Phantom, everyone who's of Hannibal Mandela's bloodline would want to either capture you or turn you into a soulgear."

"And now that you know the truth, you know that the coming army is a fool's errand. What will you do?"

"Five of my brothers are leading this expeditionary force. It will consist of 3,000 Reapers. They would have over 700 Phantoms and 30 Specters with them. Even if I know the truth, they will not listen to the words of a lowly prince."

"Then are they all ready to die?"

My words caused the African Reaper to narrow his eyes.

"Limitless, I think you are being far too arrogant. I agree that Hellsend is a powerful force. But the coming African army is called the ENSAE. A Reaper army made up of the strongest warriors from a coalition of Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, Algeria, and Ethiopia.

"They are one of the most powerful armies we have. They have defeated several demons and are the main group protecting Africa from Asia's man-made floor breaks. Together they have the power to match a Revenant!"

"You haven't answered my question," I retorted with a frown.

"What? You can't be crazy! Are you seriously thinking of taking them on?" a confused Amari tried to get closer only to have all my girls draw weapons out of thin air.

I also stood up and released my death resonance. I controlled my resonance so that it only hit Amari and Mia like a flood. Both of them braced their bodies as they tried to withstand its effects.

"Amari, let me tell you something. The one who killed Andromalius was not Raymond or Xander. They helped, but the one who finished him off was my army. Hellsend. And we did it by smashing a mountain overflowing with Blessing Energy. What you saw in David's video was a lie."

"LIMITLESS! YOUR INSANITY HAS TO STOP! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Andromalius is a name from the ARS GOENTIA! He is one of the 72 Arch Demons! His Majesty's video never said a name!

Stop lying!"

I chuckled as I used [Whisper].

{KNEEL}!

The two of them couldn't handle both my death resonance and [Whisper]. They ended up forced to kneel to the ground as the ground cracked under the pressure. I then hopped onto the table and walked over to their side. My battle harem moved with {Blink} to surround Choco and Fluffy.

'How reliable. I will reward you all later.'

When I reached the end of the table, I asked them mockingly.

"I do not lie. What good would it do me to lie? Anyone with a brain would know. How did I survive the fight against that demon? How did I know its name? I have its body if you want to see it.

Do you really think that winning a Seeker war is enough to gain dominion of an entire floor?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I then got down from the table and walked up to them arrogantly.

"No. It was because I killed a greater demon as a Phantom. That is the only reason David gave me the 24th floor as my kingdom. My forces are more powerful than anything we have shown in the graveyard so far. Your army may be able to kill me today. But in two months?

That would be highly unlikely."
