Limitless The Strongest Revenant

[I currently am having trouble counting. As they are arriving from every possible direction. If the bats represent Vampires using an ability to shape shift, the vampires alone would already be in the thousands.]

I began to hijack the Switchblades to understand Exa's words. And the sight of the skies covered in bats was what dawned on me. If that was not enough, the ground looked alive as innumerable bodies marched towards my Husband.

Switching between the over thirty Switchblades in the air led to the same result. Before I could comment, I felt the ground tremble. Was there a similar army moving around here? When I returned to my real body I found the cause. It was the Awakened, they were slowly beginning to charge.

"Juno! Wait We should stop! There are enemies approaching!" Lilly called out.

[But Lilly, my child is close! How do you expect me to remain still? He is near! I must go.]

"Mindless beast…" I grumbled out loud.

Just then a loud grating metallic echo filled the air, Lilly, Liv and I all turned towards its source. This was the sound of the Hellsgate Corridor opening.

[I have received confirmation form my lord; Evelyn Flowers is at Castle De Arno.]

But we weren't familiar with this specific sound. It should have been similar to branches creaking, why was it making such irate cries? Unwilling to remain in the dark, I sent one of the Switchblades towards the gateway to the other floors.

"W-What? Lilly, Liv am I seeing this right?"

Only to see a sight that was more horrifying than any nightmare. The sound we just head was the Hellsgate Corridor trying to close. I say trying because right now, over a thousand Stone Borne were forcing it to remain open.

And out of its maw spilled out an flood of white bodies running on the ground. In the skies thousands of red eyes glowed as bats of flew by like wave of locusts. They shrieked in chorus as they made their way forward.

"My goodness…" "By the Northern halls, what is that…"

Feeling my insides begin to shake from fear, I flew the Switchblade into the corridor. Only to see more of the same nightmare. The walls of the gigantic passageway were white. And this was both for above and below the 32nd floor.

Among the bats there were numerous people with four bat-like wings sprouting from their lower backs. And there were hundreds of them. There were hundreds of Rank B Noble Vampires. I gulped audibly as I began to panic.

"Exa, what is going on?"

[From my readings, it seems the Vampire armies hiding in both the lower and upper floors have converged to the 32nd floor. I do not know yet what their purpose is, but I would assume it has something to do with my lord.]

"THESE VILE WHORESONS! THEY INTEND TO CRUSH MY BELOVED? NAY, NOT SO LONG AS I DRAW BREATH! I AM GOING! JAS! LET'S HEAD TOWARDS OUR {KINDRED}!" Instead of despair my sister was engulfed in rage.

"Liv, calm down! We need to think of plan. With such numbers charging towards the castle is suicide! You said it yourself; we need a level head to make a plan!"

"Then what would you have me do, Lilly! The man I love is about to die to an army I cannot hope to defeat! IF DEATH COMES FOR ME THEN I SHALL GREET HIM WILLINGLY! BUT REFUSE TO DO SO ANYWHERE BUT BY MY BELOVED'S SIDE! YOU MIGHT NOT LOVE HIM BUT I-I..."

Slap!

The loud crack of Lilly's hand coming across Liv's face caused everyone to turn to my sisters. Through grit teeth Lilly practically growled her next words.

"Control yourself, Northerner. I will forgive you just this once. Do not doubt my love for our {Kindred}. I am just as worried as you. But we have been given a task. We are to serve as reinforcements for Dearest.

We must be ready should he call for us."

"…"

Liv said nothing but glared daggers at the Untamed. Truly our group lost its common sense when Husband was at stake. However, while I understood Liv, Lilly was also right. Before anyone else could comment however...

[AH! MY CHILD! WAIT FOR ME! I AM COMING TO YOU!]

Hearing Juno's cries, I left behind our party and raced towards her. When I caught up with the Awakened army, they were rushing towards a small hole on the ground. Five small Lizardkin Dragons inside. They were bloody and full of injuries.

'This looks like a trap.'

"{IMAGING} [Future Sight]!"

I looked around and saw thousands of bodies buried on the ground around the injured Lizardkin infants. There were also bats flying up in the air.

"JUNO! IT'S A TRAP!"

The rest of our Reapers caught up to me at the moment. But even if we rushed, we would not make it. The ground exploded as thousands of Ghouls burst out of the ground. The bats suddenly joined together and formed humans with pale skin and red eyes.

"Tsk. What else can go wrong?! HELLSEND! Save the Awakened! OPEN COMBAT!!"

At her clear command we moved. I lifted my M107 anti material and began to snipe the Vampires charging for Juno. We barely gained any distance before my ears suddenly picked up the grunts and growls of enemies. But they were directly behind us!

My mind suddenly saw the images of Pixie, D and Nyda being eaten alive. Only Leo survived all the visions. Naturally this was an event that would happen in the future. To prevent my allies from being disoriented I shouted for them to hear.

"IN TWO MINUTES, A LARGE ARMY WILL APPEAR BEHIND US! IGNORE THEM AND KEEP RUNNING! DO NOT STOP OR YOU WILL DIE! REJOIN THE LIZARDKIN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"

"YES! MY LADY!"

From above the Switchblades showed me just how many enemies were trying to surround out party.

[NeverEnoughCows: We won't be able to fight our way towards the Awakened. Let us take to the skies, we should be able to carry everyone.]

[OneWomandOrchestra: The risk is too great, the Vampires fight in the skies, it is better to remain on the ground. Lilly! Open a {Portal} directly in the middle of Awakened!]@@novelbin@@

[RealWomenLikeDolls: Tsk. I would have liked to not fight surrounded but I guess there is nothing much we can do. These numbers are just too great!]

"{PORTAL}! EVERYONE GET IN!" Lilly Roared.

An orange subspace doorway appeared in front of us. Our party ran towards it without stopping. We exited directly besides Juno.

"[Asura]! [Valkyrie]! [Inventory] 1887, M32! AWAKENED! WE ARE LEAVING THIS AREA! FOLLOW ME!!"

Liv, transformed into her Asura form and began to carve a path. Her heading was towards one of the one of the two corners of this floor. As the 32nd floor was shaped like a pizza slice, it only had 2 corners, and I tip.

In front of Liv and our fire power, we melted the opposition with Sacreds. But like the waves in the ocean, no matter how much we killed it was not enough. Like the immortals, those that disappeared under holy light were simply replaced.

{TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE! AWAKENED! FIGHT ON! LIV GET ON MY BACK!}

"BROOOOOOOOAARR!"

Like an angry bulldozer, the Lizardkin Dragons trampled the Ghouls. Hellsend's Reapers got on them and fended off the Vampires.

[My ladies, the lord says to summon any weapon you deem necessary for your survival. Lady Lilly, as per your suggestion the details of my lord's plans are carried by Marsu. Please call it from my lord's [Shared Armory].]

Acting first, I did not mind the strange name and called on Marsu.

"[Shared Armory]! MARSU!"

A small drone came out and crashed near my feet. But hardly anyone cared about it. Instead, Liv, Lilly and I all began connecting the drone with [Hack]. Inside I found the broad steps of Husband's plan.

___

Fight towards the corridor. Draw the Rank A Tunneling Worms from the Corridor and use {Portals} to send them into the 32nd Floor. I will be bait for the vampires. Send as many of the worms as you can. My {Kindred} I entrust my hope to you.

___

It was incredibly foolish, suicidal and insane. But as the Tunneling Worms do not consider anything as allies, they would surely annihilate the ghouls. But how did he expect us to send them here with just {Portals}?

However, not I, Lilly nor Liv hesitated. The Northerner had Juno change directions. We began to head towards the Hellsgate Corridor against the tide of undead. it seemed impossible, but that hardly mattered.
