Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Before anything can you fuckers get dressed? Seeing your junk is going to make me hurl."

"…"

Wordlessly, the two of them spent a few minutes putting back their clothes. When they were decent once more, I continued.

"You assholes are going to be going to have an all-out brawl with me!"

"But…Why?" Carlos the Inca warrior asked.

"Because I want to see how I fair against Specters."

The Conquistador shook his head before commenting, "You are insane."

"What? You're scared?"

"I will do it."

"Carlos! You can't be serious! He is only a Phantom! What good will it do to kill him?!"

"I know that Herman. However, this entire time, I have been wondering. Wondering what type of man calls forth such devotion. You do well to remember what this man has already accomplished."

"That's…"

Carlos nodded before he continued.

"Despite only being a Phantom, this man is recognized by the Invincible. And with a small squad of Reapers has managed to push back an army of thousands of Vampires. This is not counting that he has managed to domesticate even monsters. The normal standard does not apply to him."@@novelbin@@

"…"

I found it funny to have a former enemy respect me so. But if it got me what I wanted who was I to complain.

"Fine. I will do it. I will try my best to hold back. Know that our earlier performance was degraded by over 80%. The soul tattoos seals would break if we called soul pass a certain threshold, thus the amount we can command decreases for every tattoo we receive."

"Hahaha whatever you say. Just make sure you get all your excuses out when I beat your asses to the ground. I wouldn't want the borders of my kingdom to be guarded by weaklings!"

Herman was about to retort but Carlos held him back.

"Limitless, as a Reaper I am truly grateful to you. I thought succumbing to a soul collapse or dying to the enemy were my only options. But while I signed your contract, the rest of my army did not. I want you to promise that you will not hold them against their will after today."

"Sure, I have no interest in weaklings. If they decide to run and hide let them," I replied.

"Thank you for that. My next question is one that is only for my curiosity. But what is your goal?"

"…"

"I have lived for a long time, and I consider you an enigma. You command powers no Formless should possess. You put together an army that is not only loyal but fearless. You surround yourselves with women who are monsters by every imaginable definition.

"Throughout the time I battled your forces I have seen their resolved. You brought forth weapons from Earth which no one have ever done. Machines, Formless, Manifested, slaves even Asian Rogues! Then there is that Toad like monster! And now my army as well!

"Despite my forces injuring and killing them multiples times, they all fought on. Frankly it frightens me, that despite such tenacity and strength, you yourself were not even present. You not only fought a different war but won it as well! Your growth dwarfs anything I have seen!"

Listening to Carlos express his opinions, I could see why he would grow scared. For one, his ultimate ability was to keep his entire army alive. Meanwhile my army had the same ability despite me not being present.

Our guns which do not even need Hellsgate to make, naturally could not be matched by any of the battlefronts. With the Soulless and the Awakened, we do not even Reapers as desperately as before. The more weapons and allies we amass, in time Hellsend would become unstoppable.

'As a Specter, he probably knows that if I wanted, I could crush a Battlefront so long as the Revenant was not present. Just the Soulless alone had the potential to do so.'

Hellsgate was not some video game. While the Revenants were cheat characters, even they could not defend an entire continent. Thus, while the Revenant could beat back everything around him, they still needed the Reapers and a battlefront to function.

Although I still could not fight a Revenant one on one, my forces Hellsend was well on its way to be strong enough to influence the balance of power.

Seeing as I said nothing, Carlos stood awkwardly for a moment before continuing.

"I originally thought you were a demon, but demons from what I know cannot have {Kindred}. If you are not a demon, I cannot fathom what you are or what your purpose is. While I vowed to guard your border, serving you is a completely different matter."

I see, so he was basically thinking if he should help me out full time, was that it? While I agree that having Specters was helpful, I didn't exactly find it necessary. After all, I plan to raise my own soon enough.

'Hmm. But I guess he would be anxious about why I am desperate for power. Would it be better to not tell him, so he fights harder?'

"I could care less what you wanted or thought about me. I don't need the services of weaklings. Do you want to know the real reason I wanted to speak with you two alone? I was going to assassinate you. I was sure that I would succeed. My wife's wishes are the only reason you are still breathing." I said in derision.

Truthfully, I found plowing through thousands upon thousands of Champions a fucking chore. Even after our entire army got wiped, we could just resummon them back with a {Portal}. Even Mike, Isolde and the Wyvern unit would have all been rewinded by Exa.

I had no qualms backstabbing these fuckers, they came here intending to pillage anyway. So, I asked the option of a discussion. I made it appear that my girls were the reason, but I just really wanted to kill the two of them. Especially Carlos.

I would have placed my {Save} on him and murder him again and again till he ran out of souls. In a fight of pure will power I doubt anyone could endure as much as I could. However, it got complicated when Bella expressed her desire to save them.

Then when they started spilling out the secrets of South America, I just forgot about it. One of the reasons I had Roach clear them of malice was so that they could help their own people themselves.

For Specters, I would assume that not being able to user their power at full was the only reason, they were shackled to begin with. Otherwise, these two were even more useless than I thought.

"I see. You do not even consider us worth of your time. Then will you tell me if we can prove our mettle to you?"

"Sure. I will do all that and more. But know that I will come after you for real. If you cannot even survive an encounter with me, you do not deserve to be my ally. Would you be willing to take such a risk?" I challenged.

Herman sighed exasperatedly before he whined. "For all your supposedly love for your woman, wouldn't killing us void all her efforts? Where is your sense of honor? Does she know what kind of demon you are? You have no qualms about murder, nor do you show mercy for all your strength."

Irritated by his sophistry, I blinked towards Herman and opened a small portal in front of my fist. I partially pulled out Roach's anti {fate} halberd and slammed it under Herman's chin. He reacted quick late when began to separate himself from my fist.

'This must be because he was a summoner. Much like high level wizards in games having weak bodies the same thing was present in Reapers. If the Specter fought using his mind and summons, then it made sense why he was weak physically.'

"Kyuerk!" Herman vomited blood trying to say something. I ignored his actions and instead raised my fist skyward. What was his problem? Reapers didn't even need to breath. I felt that I needed to remind him of a few things.

"Mercy? Honor? If my home was any weaker, would you have shown any mercy to me? Would your honor spare my people from being raped, killed and enslaved? Listen well you fucking disappointment. Morals belong only to the strong, the weak have no such luxury."
