Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Hahahahaha! Oh my, forgive my manners." Lilly began to giggle out loud, unable to hold it in. Her graceful laughter caused all of us to look at her.

[Ishtar: It is just that whenever you all talk about the enlistment, I feel a bit lonely. I have never experienced it before, you see. The feeling of standing up to something so terrifying that you tremble at the very thought of it].

While everyone already considered her one of us, during the enlistment she wasn't. It was natural to feel both left out and to long for a sense of being accepted.

[Ishtar: And now that you are all repeating such an idiotic act, I am no longer just a third party, but am finally able to stand as one of you. As one of the idiots.]

Everyone looked at Lilly with a look of pride and acceptance. Feelings of trust and camaraderie grew naturally as a group of people triumphed over challenges together.

[Limitless: Welcome to the Idiots, Lilly. Thank you for coming.]

I noticed that Lilly really enjoyed being with our group more than she did with the White Guard. Probably because she no longer had to hide anything from us. She was right about one thing.

During that time, the girls and I fought desperately. And if you ask me now, I don't know which was worse. Challenging a D-rank Brute as a Wraith, or fighting a S-rank Greater Demon as a Phantom. I had no answer.

"You don't even have the decency to grovel before those above you. Where does your courage come from? Are you all so ignorant as to understand that you are mere ants in my presence?" Andromalius spoke condescendingly.

I didn't know if the demon had heard Lilly, or if he could hear our digital transmissions, but I was sure of one thing. Just a simple chat with my girls had put my fears to rest.

And I wasn't the only one. Facing a greater demon with a hundred {Fates}, my battle harem and I remained resolute. Instead of remaining afraid, we leaned on each other.

We were probably all hoping for the same thing. Somehow, just like during the enlistment, we would survive. We just had to not give up.

But before we could do anything else, the zone's Dirge siren began to wail like crazy. Each siren represented a Death Seeker. And in a matter of seconds, more than ten of them bleated into the air.

Skybeams fell around my harem and me. And it wasn't just one or two, there were over a dozen of them. In bewildered amazement, my girls formed a defensive circle around me.

Because of our reservations with Savior, we were unsure if the ones coming were friend or foe. I saw the soulless army all pointing their weapons at the incoming reapers.

As the reapers all began to arrive, I was amazed at their soul signatures.

"2ND AMENDMENT! FORM UP! BRING EVERYTHING!" Joshua commanded.

Like a real army, the colored squads all moved and formed a battle line against the demon. Warren, Scott, Angela, Claire, and Santiago were there. Vela's wolves also took up positions around us.

Cynthia and Addison also arrived, carrying XM7 rifles. With them were Tildi, Wil, and almost all of the Ten Graves. Those without rifles brandished glowing scimitars.

Those with swords positioned themselves in a defensive square. Bernard Nelson and the Limit royalty were even among them. Leading them was a Pajeet, whom I treated as my brother.

"Smith John, it is never boring to fight alongside you. Only you would curse a demon so openly."

With the identities of the newcomers confirmed, Bella's soulless army also began to take up positions around us. As more and more people came to our side, the demon fell silent.

A line of strong men with large shields then formed a column to our left. Behind us, a group of people in robes began to fiddle in the air and sent digital transmissions.

"My lord. Freyja's bulwark has arrived!"

[My lord. Minerva's wizards reporting for duty.]

Not to be outdone, a loud scream from what sounded like teenage girls followed.

"VELA'S WOLVES ARE HERE TOO, PATRON!"

With my blood boiling with excitement, a tyrannical roar followed. Everyone looked up to see mythical beasts flying in the sky. Leading them was a white wyvern, and after it passed our battle line, the wyvern came down and a man stepped off.

Such a showy entrance naturally drew the spotlight. The man was, of course, Mike Walker. A formless Phantom being courted by a fucking Wyvern.

"AMI! LET'S PARTY!"

But it wasn't over yet. Already stunned by the events, our reinforcements continued to pour in.

Suddenly, a group of figures crashed to our right. It was a white woman with dreadlocks and her husband.

"Technically, I am still a {Vassal}, and since my boys are not here, I have come to represent Inari's Kitchen. EVA AND ADAM BAKER JOINS THE BATTLE!"

A strong gust of wind came down like a tornado, accompanied by a fountain of mercury that erupted like a geyser from the ground.

Soon after, two figures formed and announced their presence.

"Motherfucker, I was so close to winning 30 million! Couldn't you wait till tomorrow?! Xander, do you recognize this fucker? I can't remember the last time I saw a greater demon," Raymond Gertrude commented casually.

Xander transformed both his arms into giant swords as he replied. "I have no memory of him. As Robert's Reaper parent, it is my responsibility to put an end to this. Today is a good day to die."

Holy fucking shit. Unexpectedly, instead of people running away from the zone, they were running towards it. Just from the tension of everyone pushing themselves to be here.

A group of four people made their way towards me as the crowds began to form around my position. It was my personal clerk, along with a small child, her Jamaican bouncer, and a reporter for the Graveyard.

"My lord. Hellsend has come to fight with our leader. Please forgive me for jumping the gun. I wasn't sure if you wanted my help."

"My lord! What is this? It is so cool! It's like a concert!" Pixie cheered like a child.

"Brotha, you party like the end of the world," Delroy said wryly.

Connie then bragged as she stepped forward. "LIMITLESS! You see all this? This is all because of my work! Remember my greatness!"

Ignoring the last three, I noticed Phillip's gloves trembling as he gripped his rifle. Looking around, much like my harem, everyone showed signs of trepidation and anxiety. But under Hellsend's banner they all came together of one will.

"Thank you all for coming. I hope you won't regret it."

"None of us will, esteemed one. No matter how this turns out, everyone came here did so of their own choice," my clerk explained.

I belatedly noticed, but every single one of those here were people who my actions directly or indirectly affected.

They came from different races, languages, and beliefs.

There were formless, manifested, Wraiths, Phantoms, even Specters. Moreover, they were people from every profession not just combatants.

Even those who were shunned by the battlefront came. Rogues, so-called traitors, and even slaves.

Specters, who were thought to have no desire to continue this battle, arrived when the need arose.

No matter what their reasons were, it was somehow even greater than the fear of the one in front of us.

"Are you all ready to die?" asked the demon standing alone.

To him, a powerful being beyond comprehension, our gathering was probably less than shit. But there was beauty in wishing for change. And like a tide, everyone standing here desired it, even at the cost of our lives.

"Lilly, would you do the honors?"

My woman gave a breathtaking smile as she replied.

"It would be my pleasure, Dearest."

She then raised her hands and announced.

"IN THE NAME OF LIMITLESS! HELLSEND ANNIHILATE THE GREATER DEMON! OPEN COMBAT!"
