Limitless The Strongest Revenant

When was the last time I said something like this? Wasn't it with Claire? Or was it with Gareth and the defenders of the 24th floor? Speaking of which, I didn't see any of them.

Many would say allying myself with the Awakened or the rogues were risky. But as I didn't have the bandwidth to care about such matters, I accepted them both. This Herman fucker must have come from the privileged. Otherwise, he wouldn't be spouting such crap.

Feeling I made my point clear; I withdrew my blade back into my subspace. This must be how cats felt. Without my weapon keeping him Herman separated from my fist. I twisted my body and sent a kick into his midsection. The power sent him flying outside of the tent.

I was half expecting Carlos to do something. But he said nothing and just watched. Not that I gave a shit what he thought. My only goal at the moment was to hide this fucking army and have my brawl with the Specters.

As we were still worrying about the observers we would need to make a play of some sort. The showier the better. Something that they would find so nonsensically they had to come out to get a better look. The only thing that came to mind was Juno.

'Exa, where is Juno and the Awakened?'

[They are currently waiting on floor 27. Their party encountered Reapers of unknown affiliation. The Sirens were able to piece together that it was the members of the South American observation team.]

'Did the girls figure out why they tried to interfere?'

[According to what we were able to find out, they wanted to delay them to witness more of your abilities. Lady Jas is using {Insight} but there seems to be a lot of them across different floors. The Sirens left with Vela's Wolves, Inari's Kitchen and Rhiannon's hellcats to eradicate them.]@@novelbin@@

'I see, then until they are all killed, we would need to play house with Carlos and his shits.'

[Yes, my lord. That is the case.]

As they intended to come here with Lilly, they should be available somewhere. With half a plan in mind I stared at Carlos before explaining what we would do next.

'If that is the case, have Lilly send the Awakened when I fight the South Americans again. They should figure out the rest.'

[Understood. I will relay the message to them.]

As this bastard could "see" my discussion with the girls, it would be smarter to not use the links unless absolutely necessary. For all I know they could have soulgear that could decipher discussions on my {Kindred} links.

Securing communication and intelligence has always been one of the largest facets of war. And as I began to interact with more of the higher-level Reapers, I needed to be careful.

"As you have nothing more to say, I will leave now. I will give you half an hour to talk with your people. My wives are already taking care of the observers, but until they are all accounted for you need to dance with my forces one last time."

"Okay. Then I am guessing after my forces are taken out then we begin our duel for real?" Carlos replied.

"It's good that you understand. Will both of you be taking me on at once? Or will be it just one of you? I know the ones we have been butchers are summons, where is your real army?"

The leader of the South Americans began to scratch his bears as he pondered.

"Hmm, if what you wish for is experience, I guess we both would be good opponents. Herman excels in army-to-army battles, while I am more of a hybrid among those from my continent. As for our real army, they are under observation. I can fight for real, once those people are taken care off."

"Where are they? I will have my wives take care of it."

"They are…" Carlos was in the middle of explaining when he suddenly stopped. He then made a large grin before continuing.

"Your harem has already taken care of the Observers. I can now fight with ease."

While I was pleased at the speed of my wives, I then wondered if dueling these Specters would help me. Much like in RPGs the type of build a character had affected his or her performance. Would fighting Carlos alone demonstrate his true abilities?

"I want you to come at me at your strongest. If you have to bring your forces here to do that you should. All I know of you is you do some martial arts and can revive your entire army."

"I guess I should explain a bit. My {fate} is called {Rey de la calle} or king of the street. Its most obvious application is creating doppelgangers of my entire army. But I can do much more. The reason I chose not to was because I was worried about their safety."

"Why? Aren't they able to fight and revive? Why would you worry about their safety?"

"Hmm… Think of it this way, my {fate} can use my army in 3 levels. The first level the most basic, thus it allows their real bodies to remain awake. I do this because, they might get killed by the Observers when I go beyond that level."

"So, you are afraid of even your own people, does your friend know about this? He gave me flak for being dishonorable and yet Reapers from your own continent seek to end you all. I should just let you guys kill each other," I argued.

"Herman comes from a long line of Descendants. He clings to ideals despite his circumstances. It is why the leaders grew annoyed with him. Unlike the other battlefronts. We were once registered Specters who got turned into Rogues because our end was near." Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

This just keeps getting better. This meant in South America, they treated Reapers basically like livestock. After getting as much as they could from them, they ended up discarded. I mean the tattoos alone severely limit them but turning them into Rogues and sent to die after that was truly evil.

Then again weren't such things happening even to humans? America for all the wars we join has had a very crappy track record for taking care of our veterans. It was common to see them on the streets begging for scraps.

"Then you keep him in the dark about the Observers coming to kill you?"

Carlos then waved his hands to defend his ally. "Ah no, Herman is prioritizing defending our real army. He only sends a portion of his forces here. What the Observers are scared off is our Reapers running off to the other battlefronts. Consequently, the moment Herman and I fall, the rest would be terminated to tie up loose ends."

Hearing the abuse Carlos and Co got from their superiors made me wonder what would have happened to Bella if she handed met me. No wonder my girl grew up the way she did. It would have been doubtful otherwise.

"Sigh. I am glad I was able to get Bella out of your shit hole of a continent. Hearing how your Reapers are treated makes what the other continents do seem human."

"Haha, the life of Reapers is hard after all. Not much can be done regarding that. The reason I am familiar with what the Observers would do is because I was once among them. But when the malice I tried to suppress got too great, I was removed from the records and was tasked to lead this army."

"Well. for what it is worth, I'm sorry you had to go through all that. But like I said take this time to prepare. We will have a battle on the flat grounds. I will instruct my girls to prepare some guards for the real bodies of your men. If you want to know my purpose, give me a good battle.

I will come at you with everything I have. Do not disappoint me."

"I understand. I will have my entire force at Level 3. Should they still fall, after all that, I will not be able to bring them back again. So, if you still triumph after this battle, then you truly are superior."

I scoffed and left the tent. While I truly wanted to brawl with a Specter, South Americans were summoners, so their standards were based on numbers. As my abilities were all over the place, I couldn't really complain. Everyone just made do with what they had.

'I should take this opportunity to practice fighting large scale combat.'
