Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Yeah, that was something I understood. This was a trope that appeared in all Summoner media. They normally laughed it off by making the Summoners invulnerable or not part of the combat.

Otherwise just shooting the squishy Summoner would end the battle. But what did he mean before they became Specters? Was that no longer the case afterwards?

"Much like Keepers, Once Summoners ascend to Specters, they have two paths before them. One is to be like Me and Herman, Summoner who still put emphasis on our Champions."

"And the other?"

Carlos smirked at my impatience and continued. "Is to become the Champion yourself. A Specter who chooses Soul Unity as the basis of Domain will from then on merge with his Champion in combat."

"No fucking way…"

I kind of forgot about it. But there were main Anime and manga that combined with spirits and beasts to transform into powerful warriors. Who knew that such a concept was from Summoners.

"In terms of individual power, Unity Summoners outclass Legion Summoners like us. But in large scale combat, we still beat them hands down. And while they appear to be the same as Shifters, Unity Summoners are still inferior to them."

There was already such variety in Summoners, but I couldn't help looking at Herman. If a Unity Summoner acquires an Ethos like his, that Summoner would be a fucking one-man army.

"As a closing thought. In terms of gaining malice Unity Summoners also fair far better. It is the reason why; we do not have any despite our numbers. As South America's duelists they are extremely powerful and well cared for. Which why most of them are arrogant pricks."

"Hmph! Those Unity bastards think they are so good when in truth they are only deployed in emergencies. They are undisciplined and lazy cocksucker who lack any combat experience," Herman added.

"Forgive us for our off-hand comments, we just really hate their guts."

"Haha, its fine, I don't mind curse them all you want. If ever I do get to meet some, I will make sure to beat them badly and send you a video."

"Hahaha. I like the sound of that. Since we already touched up on them, we can talk about Shifters next."

"Ah wait, Carlos. Can you tell me some details about your Revenant? The Relentless?"

"… I guess that should be alright. As the world knows his majesty, Simon Guevarra is a Legion Summoner. His Champions are made of undead creatures, but they are extremely unique and powerful …"

"Unique? But they are undead, aren't they still like the zombies around us? Or maybe like skeletons and shit?"

A loud thump echoed as Herman slammed his fist on the table, "As if his majesty's Champions can be that weak! Listen here you cocksucker, his majesty's Champions are not just undead. But Undead that can think!"

"Undead that can — think? You mean like Death knights and Liches?" I tried to clarify.

Carlos shook his head before replying, "Uhm no. Traditional Death knights and Liches are mostly undead with their core personalities gone. Meaning aside from things related to combat or their grudge they are technically not alive."

I see. So, their definition of alive was not just being able to move and think. The undead also still had to have its personality intact. Then does that mean Simon Guevarra's undead had such capabilities?

"It's like this Limitless, have you ever seen a Lich that obsessed about her appearance? So much so she wears silicone prosthetics? Or maybe a Death knight that jokes around about the current politics?"

"…"

At my teacher's words I drew a blank. Why the fuck would a Lich even try to do so? I mean it was a usual thing in Hollywood movies to use prosthetic to alter appearances. They are even robotic devices and add layers of skin to it.

Covering up a bag of bones that could move would give it the appearance of a human. But traditionally none of Liches portrayed in anime and manga did so. Primarily because the Liches were usually depicted as mad scientists or the like.

Death Knights were on the other hand warrior types who seldom said shit. It was their gimmick. They were cool because all they knew was death, conquest and war. Why would one even try to joke around, much less about politics?

"That is not the worst of it. What about a flesh abomination who keeps robbing graves to change his face and skin? But I guess that's still better than Wraith king who keeps trying to seduce living women to join his dead harem."

"I can't even…"

"Haha. Anyone who hears of them would be the same. His majesty's Champions are unique and have their own desires and personalities. Albeit twisted, they behave like Astrals. This is what separates the Relentless from the rest of the Necromancers."

Yet another term I do not know. What the fuck was an Astral?

"And that is before the fact that each of them is stronger than your average Specter. Also do not be misled. His majesty does not only have four Champions. He has over a thousand of them," Herman added.

Carlos took a sip of his beer before wiping his mouth. He then continued as he grabbed a piece of chicken.

"Unlike others who merely create undead. His majesty already dabbles into pseudo- resurrection. He is able to raise a body, bind a soul and turn it into his Champion. To put it into context, even if Simon Guevarra dies, his Champions will not."

"Fuck…"

No wonder he was considered the pinnacle of Summoners. Carlos and Herman for all their power were the weaknesses of their Champions. If killing the Relentless does not kill his summons, then you would really need to kill all of them.

'And that is before the fact that he is already acting like a god in being able to bind souls into corpses. No wonder he could field thousands of them, he doesn't even need soul to make them persist in the real world.'

As I learned more about those I consider my compatriots, rather than feel intimidated, I felt competitive instead. The Unbreakable and the Relentless did not disappoint. I could see how they would be able to fight David to a standstill.

What would the other four Revenants offer? What would I become when I really do join them in the future? At the thought of fighting these godlike beings, I felt my body slowly heat up from battle lust.

"…Carlos. This Yankee cocksucker is crazy. Why does he look like that?"

"Hmm… interesting. So, your boasts were real? I look forward to what your future would be. Being a friend of a future Revenant would be an unexpected boon!"

Hearing them, I wondered what face I was making. Only for Exa to flash me a picture within my vision. I was making a twisted grin. My eyes seemed alight with a fire that looked like that of a madman.

'Not good. Calm down. Calm down,' I chanted inwardly.

As I tried to regain my composure, Carlos continued, "Right, so back to Shifters. Shifters are those who fight using soul forms. Soul forms are applications of changing one's body using a {fate}."

Soul from Reapers were about the first kind of Reaper I learned about. Looking back Bella's information was terribly incorrect. According to her, Reapers were either Manifested, Soul form, Formless or a Sovereign.

"You should be familiar with Soul forms, as I saw some fighting among your allies. I think it was a Gorilla and a pack of Werewolves."

"What I know of them is limited. I just know they transform. I fought some of them, but I really couldn't make anything of their abilities," I confessed.

Apart from Mia, the only other Shifter I fought was the Iron Wolverine. In both cases, they were just overpowered monsters. But after what I learned of the Keeper and Summoner classes; I knew I had to take things much more seriously.

'Especially when I will be leaving for Africa soon. While I am going there to kill demons, I am pretty sure I would have to fight Reapers at some point.'

I overestimated my own abilities and almost had my girls die to it. I will never make that mistake again. For Operation rock, I would leverage Carlo's knowledge to ensure Hellsend will have proper tactics for the future. For when we get invaded once gain and when we invade another.
