Limitless The Strongest Revenant

The sharp clacks of Lilly's shoes echoed, I turned around and saw her smiling in glee.

"Fufu, did you see that Dearest? I am even more amazing now!"

As I looked at the American I loved the most, I noticed something. Her body was trembling. Despite her apparent happiness she wasn't at ease. I quickly checked her link only to find traces of fear, worry and regret swirling around it.

I quickly approached her and took her into my arms.

'Lilly, are you alright?'

At my simple question Lilly's entire body flinched. Her {Kindred} link grew even more agitated. Feeling her inner turmoil, I gave her a soft kiss along with a simple reassurance.

'Dearest, it's okay. No matter what happens, we will face it together. I do not know what it is you fear, but I promise you, I will be right there beside you no matter what it is.'

"Mhmm… Okay."

Lilly's arms tightened on my back as she buried her face into my chest. Although her trembling stopped, I felt my shirt getting damn from her tears. Despite all that however, my woman said nothing and just kept quiet. It seemed that she had no intention of telling me what was wrong.

After a few moments and her link similarly calmed down like a tranquil river. No matter how close we were there would be things she needed time to process. And while she gained power none of us could even dream of, it came at a cost.

'Lilly, I will wait till you are ready to tell me. As your {Kindred} loving you is my right and responsibility. Remember that I am right beside you, okay?'

'Yes Dearest, thank you,' she replied meekly.

[My lord, I apologize for interrupting you. But Pixie, has found Bifrons. Lady Liv and Juno has gone to pursue him. The Vampire army has broken free from Bifrons' control and has begun to scatter.]

'Show me. [Cyborg].'

Activating my technopathy after a long time, I connected my vision to the Switchblades flying in the air. Even though I knew our enemies were on the back foot, all my avatars were concentrated around Juno. So, it could hardly be said to represent the entire battle.

And although they were in different parts of the floor, the scenery was the same. The massive Tunneling Worms began to burrow away from us. Perhaps seeing the deaths of their kin terrified them.

And it wasn't just them. The Vampires all regained their senses and began to haul ass. They began to turn into either mist or bats and flew away. A few of them ran on the ground bringing a large number of Ghouls with them.

Although there was only one way out of the floor, they scurried all over. Like rats the once overwhelming Vampire army broke and began to escape. While there was still a fairly large number of them so long as no one joined them under one banner the Vampires should no longer be a threat.

'He must have intended to wait for this exact situation.'

The chaos of the large number of groups separating was the perfect cover for Bifrons. It would have been impossible to find him in such circumstances. Unfortunate for him, while I could not overwhelm him in battle, my people's ability to track was without equal.

Disconnecting from the Switchblades I returned to Sunday. Lilly who sensed my return pulled away and began to wipe away her tears.

"I will handle the other Tunneling Worms; I was the one who brought them here after all. Would you like to go to where Pixie and Liv are?" Ishtar obviously trying to be act happy.

Wordlessly I nodded. I felt a figure embrace me from behind. Naturally I knew it was Jas. Lilly then opened a {Portal} in front of us. I was about to enter when I heard someone clear their throat.@@novelbin@@

George took a step forward while scratching his bald head, "Uhm. Son, I know me and my boys haven't been able to contribute much, but can we join the hunt for Bifrons at least? I was prepared to die fighting mosquitoes but knowing that everything is his fault, makes him my target for revenge."

I looked at the other Phantoms in his party and their faces were resolute. They pushed up their chests trying to make themselves bigger. Truthfully, I had little expectations from this group. But as they had no way to take down Zombies permanently, I guess my standards were just too high.

"The rest of you?"

They did not answer and just nodded. I took Jas' hands in mine and walked into the {Portal}.

'Lilly, take it easy, okay? I will be back shortly.'

Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

'Yes, Dearest. Let's talk later.'

Lilly kept the doorway I used open and after a few seconds the rest of the Phantoms follow after me. One of the Reaper's from George's party still had Evelyn on his shoulder. Given how she was still out. Jasmine must have used {Fate} ammunition

'Exa, tell Leo and Nyda to come here. They should take hold of Evelyn.'

[Yes, my lord. They are on their way.]

We were transferred into the battle ground were the Awakened were rampaging. Without the Vampires and the Tunneling Worms interfering there was no longer anything capable of hurting the Lizardkin Dragons.

I scanned the area and found Pixie riding alongside Juno and Liv. It was probably because aside from Juno none of the other behemoths would listen to Reapers. With my destination set, I was about to run with Jas when I noticed she had her back to me.

"Wifey?"

At my call she flinched and didn't turn around. When I approached, she turned and made sure I could not see her face. When I tried to reach for her, she evaded my hand.

"…"

Her link was filled with shame and disgust. Feeling I knew the reason why, I blinked beside her. Surprised she tried to run away. I grabbed both of her shoulders and forced her to look at me. Instead, she lowered her head to the ground.

"Wifey. Look at me," I said a bit annoyed.

As she probably felt my emotions, she timidly looked up. Her expression was full of hesitation. It was as if she didn't want me to see her face. I let go of her shoulders and wrapped my arms to her waist.

I slipped my tongue down her throat in a lewd expression of desire. While she acted surprised the Ebony Deathstalker melted in my arms like putty. Satisfied with the outcome, I kissed her cheek tenderly and answered the doubts she probably had.

"Jas. If you are acting like this because of your third eye, then don't. I already saw it. And I find it eerily beautiful."

I moved my hand and traced along the eyelid of her forehead intimately. Her three eyes all stared at me seemingly lost.

"You don't find my hideous? I do not know what happened. I turned into a monster!"

"Ssh. You are no monster. You are my Wifey. The same one you always have been. We will figure it out together. But never believe that my love for you is only skin deep, okay?"

Along with my words I drew closer and kiss her third eye as it closed. A burst of happiness exploded from her link when I did.

"Really?"

"Really."

Jas then almost crushed me with her hug. But I wasn't bothered and returned her affection. A female voice then joined our conversation.

"Uhm, should we go now my lord?"

Nyda Flowers along with her husband were looking at us with flush faces. I ignored her and took Jasmine's hand into my own. With a face full of bliss, she followed along as I walked.

"My vow to you is half completed. Take your sister from them and protect her. Hellsend will now hunt Bifrons."

"Please allow us to join my lord! My husband and I are also part of Hellsend!" the woman argued.

"Indeed, you are. And there is no way to know if someone else would move to kidnap Evelyn back. I need you and Leo to make sure she is safe. This is as important as our hunt. Do you understand?"

Nyda gazed at me intently before nodding. She then picked up her sister from the others.

"My lord, I know I have said it multiple times already. But thank you so much for saving my sister. The Armstrong family subordinates ourselves your house from this point on. T-Thank you so much my lord. I didn't think I could be with my sister again."

With her voice breaking halfway through Nyda passionately thanked me as tears fell from her eyes. I merely nodded and turned around.

"As for the rest of you. Let's go. Time to kill an Arch demon."
