Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Of course, since he was more than twice their size, it was like a grown man beating up children. I then heard the sound of combined gunfire. Hellsend focused on the demon's legs and rained down Sacreds of all different types.

Caliber-wise, the bullets were weaker than the switchblades, but unlike the previous attack, the demon winced as if in pain. He then sucked air into his mouth and roared in a loud voice.

The sound waves coming from his huge voice box were like a thunderous sonic boom. His mighty roar pushed us back as an invisible pressure slammed into our bodies, forcing us to retreat.

Just like my attacks, the demon's defenses seemed to be able to withstand powerful impacts. And similar to what I had seen, the holy energy of the Blessings were the only thing that could do any damage to the demon.

"I am tired of this farce. Die!"

Andromalius then created a huge black ball of sizzling energy and threw it at Hellsend. As the attack made its way to my army, I felt my stomach drop to the ground.

Death and war were partners in bed.

I told them they shouldn't have come.

It wasn't my responsibility.

As long as my harem and I were safe, I should continue.

I should ignore them and concentrate on attacking the demon. That was what I should have done.

However, I couldn't.

The amount of soul in that single attack sent shivers down my spine.

It was like an ultimate special attack if this were a video game. The pressure and power would not even allow me to survive, no matter how many lives I had.

"NOOO!" I screamed.

The Specters were generally extremely difficult to kill, like cockroaches. However, the same was not true for the Wraiths and Phantoms. Even those that engaged in combat were extremely fragile.

Most would have no way to even survive being blown apart. I was one of the few exceptions. If a magical missile of such immense size landed in the army, would anyone survive?

My mind then saw the faces of those who expressed their loyalty to me.

The 2nd Amendment.

The Ten Graves.

Vela's wolves and the saints.

My clerks, Phillip, Will and Tildi.

Van and the Academics.

Terence and the Fortification guys.

Bernard and the Limit royalty.

Krishna and the Yuddha Rakshas.

Connie, the loud noisy reporter.

My vassals Eva, Adam, Delroy and Pixie.

Am I going to lose them all here? Just because of this one attack?

When I remembered my original intention, all I cared about was my family and my harem. It was impossible to save them all. I knew that. I had already prepared myself for the fact that not everyone would survive.

But was that really something I could accept?

They were all good people. They all had stories, hopes and dreams. I was the one they believed in. They came here knowing they might die. But there was nothing that could change our reality.

The current battle was that of ants against an elephant. Death was expected. But why did I feel this way? I felt frustrated, even sad. It was impossible to keep everyone alive. No matter who you asked.

A battle with zero casualties was usually a miracle.

If everyone I met in Hellsgate suddenly kicked the bucket. Would I really be okay?

I laughed with them.

I cried with them.

We faced hardships, we shared sorrows.

Did it really have to end this way?

Was it really impossible?

Was there nothing I could do?

My mind recalled the warriors from my dreams. They all ended up alone.

I didn't know what happened, but they no longer had any allies remaining.

Prior to today. I was going to do this alone. After all I had no responsibility to all these people.

But somehow it fell— wrong.

Was this really my limit?

Then I heard seven voices shouting in a loud voice.

"{BLINK}!" x 7

My girls all teleported from around Andromalius to in front of Hellsend in a hexagonal formation. Liv was in the center, and the other six were evenly spaced around her.

I could see the strain and exhaustion on their faces as they continued to summon powerful {Fates} with their hands raised.

"[KNIGHT]! {SHELTER}!" x7

Seven overlapping shields of white light illuminated the entire battlefield. As the gigantic black ball of immense power collided with the overlapping shields, a loud thunderclap erupted. A tremendous boom rattled the sky.

Like a raging river crashing against a mountain wall, a desperate battle for survival ensued. If the girls failed in their defense, they would all die.

'I have to do something.'

My mind froze at that moment. Even if I wanted to help. What could I do? Will casting another {Shelter} allow us to defeat Andromalius? If he attacks again, what then? I was only one person.

As my negative feelings consumed me, I felt a wave of positive emotions drown out my fears. The source was my pseudo Kindred link with the women currently acting on my behalf.

{Beloved, do not despair, for you are no longer alone.}

{Pull yourself together, Dear. I know you will get us through this.}

{Possum! Do you need to take a crap or something? Kick his ass already!}

{Breathe, Darling. Breathe. You got this!}

{Honey, this is so unlike you. Where is the man who had no fear? Are you sick, by any chance?}

{Fear not, Husband, this is not enough to defeat you or us. I am sure of it.}

{Shujin, I believe in you. I always have and always will.}

Like the first rays of sunlight after a chaotic storm, my heart felt peace. Unable to refute the words of my girls, I felt immense comfort in their voices.

They were right. It was not like me. People dying in wars was the norm. It was because that was the limit of what humans could do. But I forgot one thing.

I was no longer human. So, I didn't have that limit.

'{Rewind}, it's been a while. I'm sorry for being a pussy buddy. I guess I was just scared. I talk big, but I never had this much responsibility before.'

"{Blink}!"

I teleported in front of my girls, preparing to add my own {Shelter} to their shield. The chaotic clash of energies was like being in the middle of a hurricane. The flashing lights and immense gusts of wind threatened to destroy everything.

"Exa. Dump everything into defense."

[Roger. [Overdrive] ready].

"[KNIGHT]. [OVERDRIVE]. {SHELTER}!" I roared.

[[Wizard] mind setting shifting to [Knight]. [Knight] levels up to [Heavy Knight].]

[[Sniper] body setting shifting to [Knight]. [Heavy Knight] levels up to [Knight Lord].]

'{Rewind}, I know I am being unreasonable, but please help me. I want everyone to survive. Even if it only lasts for one battle. If I don't have enough, give me a loan or something.'

My soulgem began to burn similar to the last time, and a new {Fate} emerged. One that suited my purposes. When it did, I smiled as I summoned my newest ability.

"Thanks, buddy. You are the best." I rejoiced.

"{Recursion}!"

A massive amount of souls were pulled into the air as every combatant fighting for Hellsend received a message in their minds.

{Limitless has invoked {Recursion}. You have been chosen to be his ward. You will be bound by the order: "Kill the motherfucking demon" but gain his protection. Do you wish to accept? Yes | No?}

Similar to the like counters on social media, I somehow felt each and every person who accepted my offer. At that moment, the {Shelter} I had created broke and shattered. Unable to resist any longer, I invoked another {Fate}.

"{Replace}."

As I disappeared from my position, the black mass of offensive power crashed into my harem's {Shelters}, destroying them as well. Like an unstoppable avalanche, Andromalius' attack continued, vaporizing the Hellsend army.

This was followed by an explosion that erupted like a nuclear mushroom cloud. Everything around the point of impact of Andromalius' attack was engulfed in the raging forces.

A minute after having done their job, the dazzling energies subsided to reveal a desolate landscape.

No trace of Hellsend remained.
