Limitless The Strongest Revenant

I was truly lucky everything worked out. One wrong move and might have followed Sahashi's example.

Looking back, there were far too many things happening at once. Fortunately, despite everything that went on, Hellsend and I managed to not only survive but gain a hefty payday. We accomplished our original objective and secured Evelyn as well as stopping the Vampire conspiracy.

We also gained Juno and the Awakened, Bifrons' laboratory research along with Rank A corpses. Aside from the souls we earned, Liv and Jas ascended to level 6 while Lilly joined the Specters. Looking only at results this Operation was a complete success.

'Unfortunately, the Sacreds left not a single Ghoul, Vampire or Noble Vampire corpse. The only ones we could recover were those that died via {Kill switch}. I guess I should be satisfied with this.'

I looked up to see the golden dust lighting up the skies. As my forces grew in number, we would bring the light of a golden dawn to Hellsgate. While I sort of felt proud when I saw the brilliance of Sacreds, I knew in the grand scheme of things they didn't change anything.

The only reason my girls and I survived this operation was due to the Sacreds and the Awakened. Without both, even if we did not succumb to injuries, we would have gone insane. Taking small units for large scale wars was a recipe for disaster.

Sahashi was able to reach all the way to the 63rd floor. Meanwhile I almost died multiple times just on the 32nd floor. The gap in our abilities was just too wide. If his spirit didn't break, I might not have been able to beat him. Yet, for all his power, everyone he loved still all ended up dead. All because he made the wrong decision.

He got drunk on his victory and got complacent. And it cost him a price he couldn't bear. I was sure he regretted his choice. But did he have people to tell him he was making a mistake? Did he made his decision based on gut or deliberation? What did his people felt as they died?

Did they blame him?

While I was not as bad as Sahashi, I was just as complacent. And without the power to enforce my will, what I have right now could just as easily disappear. Such a reality terrified me. I ordered my girls to do the impossible, but they could have died if things didn't work out the way they did.@@novelbin@@

'Do I really have the right to lead them like this?'

We had yet to have casualties but was I resolved to send my people to their deaths? Was it right to ask them for their bodies, lives and their futures all for the sake of my goals? As the one who made the decisions, the fault for those decisions would similarly fall to me. Was I fit for such responsibility?

Even now, my girls were sacrificing their memories to become stronger. Who knew what the cost to become a Revenant would be. If I did not prepare, Hellsend would head the same future as Sahashi and his army.

Much like me the Japanese reincarnator had the guidance of IRIS. But it wasn't enough. I had to train. I had to get more guns, soulgear and allies! Anything that could protect my family and my people!

The weight of my responsibility caused me to clench my jaw and fists in frustration. I could not afford to be weak. I could not risk making dumb mistakes! Not when thousands of lives were in my hands.

'I refuse to allow my family to die before I do. I would burn my soul as many times as necessary to ensure our survival,' I vowed in my heart.

"Dearest?"

Hearing her endearing voice I looked to my side and saw a gorgeous face. One I loved very much.

"Ah, sorry Lilly, I was just thinking. I need to grow stronger. Much much stronger…"

Before she could answer someone else did.

"Beloved, even though you do not speak, we feel your heart. Your frustration, your anxiety and most of all your determination. We feel it all."

Liv took my hand and intertwined her fingers in mine. She then imitated me and brought our hands to her face and kissed the back of my hand. Affection radiated from her intimate gesture as she smiled.

"What you fear will not come to pass, my love. It's not only you who needs to grow stronger. We will be right there with you. For when we die. We die together."

Unable to stop the corners of my mouth from pulling up, I smiled while nodding.

"Yes, thank you Liv. I will count on you all when that time comes."

Suddenly I felt a pair of legs wrap around my waist. Voluptuous breasts pressed on my back while toned arms wrapped my neck. My lewd assailant then began to erotically nibble and lick my ear. Her actions sent jolts of lightning through my entire being. She spoke with hot and ragged breaths.

"Husband. Do not try to shoulder everything on your own. Do you not trust us? You should just fill your mind with guns and sex. We, your {Kindred} will serve as your harbingers. Just do what you do best.

We will take care of everything else."

"Jasmine Denel! What in the world are you doing? You're normally reserved, I would have expected this from Jo not you! Ugh! Anyway! This lewd harlot aside, I agree with her, Dearest.

While we appreciate you trying to improve yourself, you have a bad habit of over thinking similar to this sadistic tweeny."

"Lilly, I…"

Lilly came forward and caught my face with both her hands. The woman then inserted her tongue passionately into my mouth. As if trying to reassure me, I felt her love from her kiss. Lilly pulled away after a moment and continued.

"Dearest. I evolved into a Specter not because you asked me to. I did so because I wanted to. My decision to cast away my memories has nothing to do with you. Rather than hold on to what happened in the past, I chose to believe and walk with you towards our future."

"…"

"The same goes for all of us, Husband. Much like this pervert, no Siren would stop here. We could have died. But we didn't. You do not have to worry about what has or what could have been. The only thing that matters is what is and what is to come.

This is the same. Just give us a plan and leave the details to us."

"…"

"Beloved. You are someone who does not fear nor hesitate. This is who my sisters and I fell in love with. You will grow distraught if you worry about every little thing. We are strong. You made us that way.

Rely on us more. The Sirens exists to protect you. So run forward without looking back, we will never stop chasing after you."

"…"

Hearing the words of my harem, I felt stupid. Sahashi's {Fate} was {Brainwash}. Such a {fate} meant his regret has to do with unconditional loyalty. Maybe that was why even the new harem he kept by his side hesitated to die for him. Sadly, he remained alone until the end. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

In contrast, my girls were completely devoted to me. And I knew that much like them, the rest of Hellsend were under my banner not because they had no choice. They fought with me because they wanted to.

Unlike Sahashi's group were all he had was yes men. Hellsend was comprised of talented individuals who had conflicting opinions. Normally they would not move to the same goal alone. But because I was here, they followed.

United in purpose, our ability to see different points of view was one of our strengths. We were comprised of different groups. Once the Awakened integrated I was sure it would only get more chaotic. But at the same time, it meant I didn't need to see everything.

Because there would be others who can see things I could not.

Overwhelmed by love, I embraced my girls in a group hug. To those fighting on the front lines our accomplishments might have seemed trivial, but this wasn't the end. It was just the beginning.

In less than a month, we were already fighting on the 30th floor. Who knows what would happen in a year?

So long as I had my {Kindred} and Hellsend behind me, I didn't need to fear making a mistake. They would call me out and guide me to the right path. And so long as I had them, I would never be lost.
