Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 740: That worked? [1/2]

"Beloved…" "Husband…"

Jas and Liv were by no means faint hearted. They were merciless to their enemies and would kill even the innocent should the feel the need to do so. But even they were dumbfounded by what we just witnessed. I shifted my settings to gain flight and separated from Liv.

Their links were cold, and an emotion I hadn’t expected lingered there. It was fear.

{Kill Switch} a safeguard my harem and I placed in {Call my name}. Along with the power that my {Kismet} bestowed was the reality that I held your life in my hands. Even though the ones who died were all our enemies, how they died mattered just as much as why.

Anytime there was a conflict it always came to a matter of wills. The Noble Vampires wanted to take us out, whether if it was what they wanted or not that was what they intended to do. And I wished their demise for the sole reason that they would harm me and my family if I did nothing.

However, while killing them in a deadly battle might have been honorable, I was not that naive. And so, I dealt with them in a matter that lacked any compassion nor humanity. Without a means to fight back. They all perished. Even those that surrendered and those that fled were not spared.

That was what made this experience a bit traumatic. Seeing them as mere monsters made killing them easier. But when they exhibited emotions such as fear and anger, they were just as human as we were.

With my power, I could have saved them. I could have used only one as an example. There was a possibility that they would have listened. That we could have become my allies like Juno and the Awakened. But the moment I chose to end them all, I denied such possibilities.

"Let’s go. Juno, Pixie, stand guard. Have George’s group do the same."

"Y-Yes, my lord." [I understand, Limitless.]

My voice came out colder than I ended. Anyone who saw what I just did would have cursed or grown frightened of me. They would undoubtedly think I was no longer human. They would call me a monster. Perhaps even a demon.

I was sure Pixie and Juno despite being my allies felt unsettled, not that it mattered. But I did not actually care. If anyone was looking to me for compassion or mercy, there were extremely foolish. Such things would not save me when my enemies came at my door.

Power. That was the only thing that could make a difference. If I was any weaker, these bastards would have killed me and taken my women captive. In order to ensure such a future did not exist I had to be stronger than anyone else.

This was the path I chose. And I was sure that the longer I existed as a Reaper the more bodies would be used as mortar for my ascension. With each body I would grow in strength, as I grew more stronger, I would fight those above me.

Until the moment where I stood at the pinnacle. Until when there would no longer be anything that could threaten me. Until I gained the future I wished for. I could not stop. There was only victory or death. In comparison to that, this was nothing.

I was sure I would need to do much much worse.

I could not afford to lose my nerve here.

I was already no longer human. And the Sirens were already willing to forsake everything just so they could follow me. I continued to hold such thoughts as we separated from the others.

Liv, Jas and I slowly floated downwards seeing the carnage Juno and I created. There seemed to be numerous hidden Noble Vampires along the way. But similar to the ones above they, their remains now decorated the walls along our path.

’Liv, I leave the chimera to you. The second it starts to move take it out. Jas, tell me should Bifrons leave Stefan. Use [Guardian Angel] to know if he infests us. Exa, trigger [Autoload] as needed.’

’Yes, Beloved. Leave it to me.’

’Understood. He will not escape my sight, Husband.’

[As you command, my lord.]

Liv separated from us and took position in front of the monster. Jas similarly looked for a sniper’s perch and took aim. Only I descended to the bottom most floor. Read latest chapters at novelbuddy

When my feet touched the ground, only the figure of a hunched over Stefan was present. He was facing what looked to be a desk full of papers. Was he perhaps researching something?

"You. What the fuck are you? How did you manage to kill so many despite without even lifting a finger? If I knew it would end like this, I would not have listened to that bitch!"

Again, he was blaming a woman. I wasn’t able to figure out who, but it seemed his actions was influenced by someone else.

"Gulp. Ah! Exquisite, such a deep flavor. Hmm… The one without end told me to be careful. I abandoned Gaspar when I saw this worm using blessings in large numbers. And she also said we needed to use all our power to kill him.

"AAARGH!!!!! I SEE NOW! NO WONDER SHE SAID YOU’RE DANGEROUS!"

"THAT FUCKING WHORE USED ME!!!"

This conspiracy thing had so many layers it might as well be an onion. First there was George and his entire floor being goaded into fighting the other floors. Then there was Gaspar trying to blame everything on Stefan. Only for the true culprit to be neither Gaspar nor Stefan but the bastard before me.

And now I was learning that there might have been yet another person in the mix. From his words it seems this woman duped Bifrons into focusing on me. But wasn’t this bastard one of the 72 Archdemons? He was a Rank S Greater Demon. And he was a stooge? How was that even possible?

I needed to know the truth, but as my brain was tried from all the mind games, so I just asked directly.

"Why not point me her way? I will make sure to kill her too," I offered in earnest.

"Fine. Her name is Astaroth the 3rd. I don’t know much. She just told me to prepare a vampire army to destroy this arch. Not that it matters now. If I knew that I would have to fight a fucker like you, I would have not just sleep till you died.

The malice I lost fighting you was equivalent to eons. I don’t have a future anyway even if I escape here."

’No fucking way! That worked?’

"What do you mean? Don’t give up so easily brother. You could just gain back your malice, no biggie! What are you so afraid off?"

From what I knew of bosses in anime and manga, the moment he stopped talking we would begin fighting. So, if I wanted more information, I should try to keep him talking. However, the ones with me all expressed their chagrin from my words.

’Beloved, what are you…’ ’Husband, please stop talking.’

[My lord, are you seriously trying to cheer up an Archdemon?]

"Heh! Your pitiful attempts to goad me are laughable. Still, I guess it hardly matters. You will die by my hand anyway. Listen Reaper, no one is born an Archdemon, you have to earn the right to become one by stealing a spot from those who held that rank."

I see. It was like a brutal survival game. No wonder he believed there would be no place for him. Due to me weakening Bifrons, even if he escapes here, he would be targeted by the other demons who wish to take his spot.

It was in line with the struggle Juno and Roach had. They had to get stronger to not be taken advantage of. In the same regard even Bifrons was in the same dilemma. Unfortunately, if he expected me to pull my punches because of his sad story he was sorely mistaken.

"That sucks. Don’t worry, I will make sure you don’t get dethroned. You will die as Bifrons the 68th. Not as a nameless demon."

At my words Bifrons began laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha! Who would think I sunk so long I have a blood bag worry about me. Fine, I will give you a grand battle. Let me just change into the body I prepared."

This bastard was really stupid if he believed I would allow him to swap bodies. Stefan then turned towards me as if he was happy. But a voice in my head took my attention off the arch demon.
