Limitless The Strongest Revenant

I felt my body reassemble in the darkness. I was holding on to something in my hands. My mind then saw a being turning around and sending a punch to my face. Knowing I only had seconds to act, I let go of him and tried to duck.

But he was too fast. A savage blow landed on my cheek. I felt my jaw crack, as my head felt dizzy, I saw stars. Such power probably rattled my brain. I most definitely already had a concussion. There was just way too much fucking force in that punch!

'{Imaging} - Night Vision. {Regen}. [Inventory] Ebony, Ivory, hip holsters. [Combat Shadow Silhouette] - Lilly.'

Even with {Limitless} on the specs of my opponents was too fucking OP. My body could endure tank rounds! FUCKING TANK ROUNDS! And yet I got staggered and bruised from his blow! If I was a human, or if I had yet to become an Artificial Descendant I would have already died!

At the speed at which he moved; long guns would simply get destroyed before I could fire. My only chance was to endure his blows and find a way to counterattack. If he wanted to be barbaric and just punch each other to death, then I would happily oblige! But of course, I would still shoot this bastard with Sacreds if I got the chance.

The world I saw then turned to the faint green. Our surroundings had no light, but Stefan De Arno was in front of me. As if I was beneath his notice, he was looking around.

We were currently in a swamp like area. A vile disgusting scent lingered in the air. It was the smell of rotting corpses that was putrid and would make one hurl. There were puddles of green liquid pooling on the ground.

Walls made of flesh surrounded us on all sides. What seemed like stones and corpses of Zombies, beasts and Reapers lay all around. Naturally as I was the reason for our predicament, I knew exactly where we were.

When my injuries healed, I slowly approached Stefan. Or rather the parasitic entity nesting in his body. Still nonchalant about everything, I couldn't help flinching when he turned to face me. A Greater Demon usually had such an effect.

"Really now. You seem to have the most disgusting ideas, worm. What use is confining me in the belly of an oversized maggot? You think I do not have what it takes to get out of here?" Bifrons asked in palpable derision.

The main reason I brought the Rank A's was to annihilate the Vampire Army. And they did their job well. Within minutes of their arrival to massacred scores of the Ghouls, Zombies and Vampires. But when they started targeting me alone, it was just too much.

I intentionally allowed a Rank A Tunneling Worm to eat me. I raced towards its insides and invoked {Save}. I then used {Replace} to get behind Bifrons. Risking being decapitated, I brought him inside the Rank A with me.

It was the only way I could think of being to fight this bastard alone. I mean, this entire battle I already was out gunned, outnumbered and desperate. But truly this fucking Greater demon was the main reason everything went to shit. He just had to brainwash everything.@@novelbin@@

But at least they fucked up the army at least. The only concern was I didn't know if Tunneling Worms could kill tainted monsters permanently. Unlike the destruction of Arno Castle or my {Soul Breaker}, without holy energy none of the Vampire Army would die.

That was what made them so troublesome to begin with. I remembered Liv's explanations about how the North did it.

"In fact, there are hardly any saints in the North. That is why we cannot push them back, my love. We just sever the tainted ones and put them in separate boxes. The formation of Yvonne's group is really a great achievement."

This was why Ghouls were extremely plentiful. As they did not die like zombies their numbers would swell infinitely if left alone. The Vampires which were still Feral were the same. As an unintended benefit I didn't get overwhelmed with malice.

'That's probably why, I didn't experience a soul collapse.'

I looked at my own Benevol and confirmed what noticed it earlier. Despite the large devastation the Tunneling Worms caused, very few actually died. Of course, although they didn't die, they would not be in state able to be a threat.

Just like the Draugrs I fought, I didn't really need to kill them. Unless Ghouls and Vampires could get enough of their bodies to regenerate, they would remain dismembered or hopefully in pieces.

Thus, so long as the Rank As swallow enough parts of pieces of them, they would need to forget being able to get those back. And for now, that was enough. My goal was never to earn souls from destroying this army.

I just wanted them to be in no shape to assault North America. And from what I saw. Only Bifrons could command this force. Meaning so long as I take him down, the Vampires would not be able to break out of North America.

Even Gaspar who was way stronger than Stefan got ignored by the Nobles Vampires. It seems that no amount of coercion nor intimidation would force them to die. Unless the one who ordered such was a being levels above them.

"Don't be so tense, Bifrons. You're a parasite. Seeing the insides of a monster should be your normal. I just thought we should duke it out where you would find it most comfortable."

That was a lie. If we fought anywhere else, his lackeys would hound me to no end. I couldn't fight both the army and a Greater Demon. But I could however fight either the army or the Greater Demon.

Bifrons looked at me coldly. It reminded me of people who stared at cockroaches. The expression was a combination of disgust, annoyance and indifference. Like you knew they didn't care about the bug, but because it was being a nuisance they had to move to kill it.

"If you wish to die so badly, then you shall do so."

Just as he was about to move, the ground we stood on began to quake. My skin felt the vibrations traveling along our location. The putrid waters began to create ripples and similarly shook with greater intensity than the last.

'Exa, talk to me.'

[The Tunneling you are in is being attacked by the entire floor. The Vampire army is of no concern, but the other Rank As have begun attacking yours as well. It is unknown if this Tunneling will run or fight.]

'Got it. Keep me updated with the information.'

A slight breeze flowed. I could hear the ruffle of clothes. There was nothing alarming, but my body suddenly dodged to the right out of pure reflex. A moment after, Bifrons' body appeared.

'FUCK! If it wasn't for Lilly's techniques, I would have been hit!'

As I used them, I found the perfect cases to use each Siren's fighting styles. There were the obvious ones. Liv naturally was the best for guarding or tanking. Jas granted combat clairvoyance and sniping. Bella was optimized for thinking and formulating plans.

Then there were those that I only learned after using them. Robyn thrived when she fought outnumbered courtesy of her insane combat sense. If I needed to be quiet, nothing would be better than using Aki.

There were only two, that took some time to understand. The first was Jo. Contrary to her combat prowess, what she was exceptional was controlling soul. Lilly's seemingly didn't excel in anything at first glance. It only clicked when I reviewed when Exa used her.

Unlike Robyn who excelled against fighting in a melee, Lilly's combat silhouette was the best when it came to one-on-one combat. When Exa had to exchange blows with George Clay, the other Sirens relied on gimmick.

Only Lilly relied on pure technique. That simply meant when you took out soul-based abilities, the Untamed could still own a Phantom. Her [Combat Shadow Silhouette] was ideal for duels. My girl trained herself to be a fucking boss killer.

I didn't see anything in my mind as with Jas' combat clairvoyance. Nor did I feel heat guiding my actions like with Robyn's combat sense. When I was channeling Lilly, knowledge and muscle memory were all that was present.
