Limitless The Strongest Revenant

As the minutes pass by golden dust by the millions float into the air. The source was the tens of Rank B Noble Vampires I blessed into extinction. These monsters for centuries clung to life. And to suddenly begin dying out like weeds they were beyond scared.

Naturally like most people it took time to process their emotions. But as I killed them faster than they could counterattack or run away, they had to do it in a heartbeat.

"NO!!!!!! YOU MONSTER! GET AWAY FROM ME! HELLLPPP!!"

Fear.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! WHAT DID WE EVEN DO TO YOU?!"

Confusion.

"PLEASE! PLEASE! FORGIVE ME! I WILL DO ANYTHING YOU SAY! JUST SPARE ME! WHY WON'T YOU STOP KILLING US?!"

Hopelessness.

"See? I'm pretty, right? I will live as your cum slut. I will be your dog. That seems like a good deal, right? Having the power of a Noble Vampire by your side is a good thing!

I am immortal!"

Desperation.

"FUCK YOU LIMITLESS! IF I AM GOING TO DIE ANYWAY, I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME!!!"

Rage.

And finally, resignation.

"Waaaahhh! I don't want to die! I don't want to die. I DON'T WANT TO DIE! SOMEONE SAVE ME!"

Yet nothing they could have said would change the outcome. They were going through this ordeal because of two things. One they followed the words of their king. And two I was stronger than them.

Because they couldn't disobey their leader they had to join this fight. And as I had more strength than them, they will die today. There was no room for doubt. There was no room for mercy.

If I was any weaker, I would be the one to die instead. Hellsgate followed the will of the strong. And so long as there was someone stronger than me, I had to follow its rules, whomever that may be.

"Huff…Huff…Limitless…surely you must be spent. Why not let bygones be bygones, yeah? We will retreat and we will never attack you again. Sound like a goo…"

[Confirming death of the Rank B Noble Vampire.]

As a .50 cal BMG casing left my gun, I aimed my rifle at the next Rank B. These bastards for all their power had terrible memory. Did they forget that they all marshaled here just to kill me?

'This is taking too long…'

A Noble Vampire then prostrated to me in the air as he shouted.

"LIMITLESS! I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! I WILL EVEN KILL THE OTHER VAMPIRES! JUST LET ME LIVE!"

Ho? They were willing to go that far?

For the first time since this battle began, I lowered my rifle and spoke.

"Show me," I said curtly.

"YES!"

Jubilant that I did not shoot him the Noble Vampire leapt towards one of those beside him. He then stabbed his entire arm into his opponent's chest and pulled out his heart!

When he did, the Noble Vampire who got his organ removed, changed. The lights of his eyes died as his body turned slack. He acted similar to a doll with his strings cut. Which was exactly how Phantom's behaved when they died.

'Is this a fucking coincidence?'

The Noble Vampire then raced to me and presented the still beating heart. It was gross as fuck but considering what it was, I was fairly certain this was useful. My years as a gamer knew that loot from high ranked monsters was usually a body part of some sort.

I grew sad that the Noble Vampires body fell into a sea of Ghouls and feral Vampires though. Bella might have found a use for it. Below my feet was the rest of the Vampire army. They were all like lions waiting for me to fall.

They followed me as I floated in the sky. I was sure from their eyes that the moment I fell to the ground they would all pounce on me. Not that it mattered.

"Well done, bring me ten and I will think about it," I replied.

Energetic as fuck, my new vampire lackey shouted, "YES! I will do so my lord!"

At my words lackey one flew towards a certain Noble and began to rip him apart. After he completed his task, he pocketed the heart and went after another. His targets were far apart. And seemed to be chosen not at random but with intent.

And surprisingly none of his targets had the strength to fight back. Funnily enough, it was not only I who watched him. The others which he left alone did too.

"THAT BASTARD! HE REALLY WOULD LOWER HIS DIGNITY ALL TO BE A BLOODBAG'S DOG? THAT IS AAGHHHH WHAT ARE YOU DOING! UNHAND ME!"

"Please be quiet. I have always hated your arrogance. Die for me. Your heart will ensure I survive!"

"WAIT! WAIT! WE ARE KIN? I THOUGH WE WERE BROTHERS!"

"Forgive me. I do not wish to die here!"

___

"I LOVED YOU! HOW CAN YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS!"

"Sorry, I did everything you wanted because you were an excellent shield. But that ends today."

Suddenly the Nobles Vampires erupted into absolute anarchy. As if they really believed I would spare any of them, they began to attack their fellow vampires. Lovers suddenly began ripping each other's hearts. Servants began to attack their masters. Brother turned on their brother.

Bodies of Noble Vampires began to fall towards the ground. Only to be devoured by the Ghouls and Rank C Vampires. Not even their bones remained after they were consumed.

And standing languidly amidst the abrupt chaos, was I. I didn't even intend it but due to my whim, the Nobles now did my job for me.

[My lord, you truly are an efficient Reaper. I am amazed at how quickly the situation turned around. Was this what you intended from the beginning?]

'Stop patronizing me, Exa. Tell me your true thoughts.'

[But I am being truthful my lord. Apart from you being an evil, heartless and ruthless bastard, I really am impressed. If you were the one to suggest it, they would not have complied. But you intentionally brought them to the brink of despair before dangling the bait of each other's hearts as hope.]

'I don't even know what to say to that. Still, It seems that these fuckers got strong out of opportunistic encounters. Apart from Gaspar none of them are trained for combat.'

[My lord, there are Vampire variants trained for combat. They would be the Rank A Vampire Warlord and Rank A Vampire Assassin. These species are Vampires who used their long lives to train for battle, ensuring their survival by killing the enemy.]

'Then why aren't any of them around here?'

[Probably because of their race's tendency to prioritize life. The S Rank Vampire Lord hordes these war variants as lovers and guards. All of them are concentrated in the lower floors, although we do not know which one they reside in.]

'I see. That probably means that they do not even give a crap about all this?'

[Yes, my lord. Humans in relation to the rest of the world are long lived. However, most monsters do not die of all age. And while that might be same for Reapers. Few of them can get past losing purpose. So unlike humans, the monsters can simply wait out the strong ones.

That made sense. For a Reaper to gain in strength they had to continuously sacrifice apart of themselves. We grow stronger than further away from humans we get. For Phantoms we sacrifice our identity. While memories are what we lost to become Specters.

In the process of growing, only seven people reached the ranks of the truly strong. Most of the Specters could not push forward. Not after losing the memories that made them who they were.

I was already a Level 5 Phantom. Due to my hectic lifestyle, I haven't been able to verify yet. But I was sure, I already lost a lot of memories along the way. But last I checked I still remember my dad. So, I didn't actually feel the difference.

It wasn't like people used all their memories anyway. Outside of a few core ones, we mostly forget about them. Said memories would only resurface once you find a trigger. Like what happened when you met an old friend. You remember everything that happened between the two of you.
