Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 717: I expected better. [2/2]



A monster having a {Fate} was bad enough. If the vampires normally drank the blood of their enemies, it would be easy for them to gain more than one {Fate}. For Reapers, their capacity severely limited how many they could hold.

This was what made demons so scary. If Vampire's had the same possibility, then a combat seeking Vampire was a terrifying prospect.

[They can. However, I haven't been able to find any known instances in the Graveyard archives. As Vampires and Noble Vampires in general are lazy and prideful, they only take the {fates} of those they recognized.]

"Huff. Huff. That sounds reasonable."

[Indeed. But since they only fight those weaker than them due to their careful natures, they end on not taking any {fates} instead. They normally try to weaken a Reaper with Ghouls before going in for the kill.]

"I guess we should be grateful that these bastards are the way they are. That is probably why for all their potential they remain only at Rank B."

[Yes, my lord. It can be considered a blessing that Vampires are slothful in nature. Otherwise, they would be theoretically capable of conquering the North American battlefront.]

I continued to fight my way towards my destination. Funnily enough the cowardice of the vampires allowed me safe passage. While they did send me a fuck ton of bats. No bloodsucker in humanoid form engaged me.

For hedonists who were afraid of death, it was the only safe option. After all, if they could just wait for someone else, there could reap the rewards without the danger.

'I wonder if Stefan's behavior was because he was turned into a vampire. Does the fact that he reincarnated into a Vampire turned him into a coward? How much of it was the monsters and how much of it was his own personality?'

Wondering such thoughts, I flew at top speed. But then I felt a massive shift on the entire floor. The brilliant lights from my {All for one} army abruptly vanished. Somehow, I felt the blood lust of thousands suddenly converge on me.

[My lord. The {All for one} army has disappeared. Prepare for {Soul Breaker's} backlash.]

I couldn't even reply when I felt all the blood in my body suddenly heat up. Within the same second, they violently exited my body. Through every orifice and pore, I bled. My body immediately went into shock and plummeted into the ground.

[My lord! My lord! I will be triggering [Autosave] and [Autoload]!]

My eyes saw nothing, but red. Exa's voice sounded like it was underwater as my ears had blood blocking them. The scent and taste of iron was all I could concentrate it. My stomach heaved and had me vomit out blood as I felt myself falling like a rock. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

'Well fuck. And here I thought I could handle it. No wonder Jo and Jas froze up. This is almost as painful as creating a {Kismet}…'

But then amidst the pain and suffering, I felt relief. My body began to break down and disappear. First came my skin, then bones and finally my limbs. As if I was being atomized, the parts of me which were in pain lessened till I felt nothing.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself floating in the skies. Understanding what just happened, I invoked [Afterburner] and flew forward.

"Thank you, Exa. I would have died if not for you."

[You are welcome, my lord. I would just like to point out that however that you underestimate yourself. Your constitution as an Artificial Descendant would have kept your alive even if you crashed. And even if I didn't intervene you would have been able to {Rewind} on your own.]

"That all may be true, but I feel grateful regardless. Gaspar would have caught up to me, for each second I delayed."

[As much as I would like to take credit, your blood suddenly erupting in great amounts has turned most of the vampire Feral. Gaspar is also close. He will reach you in the next five seconds.]

"Tsk. So even with [Afterburner] he is still faster? This fucking asshole must be a smurf or something. He easily outclasses even the Noble Vampires!"

[Indeed. Considering the huge amount of holy blessings, he experienced it is quite a mystery how he is even alive. However, I believe for each time he restores his body his powers should be significantly reduced.]

"I guess you are right. Unlike the first time I saw him, he no longer makes the hairs on my body stand on end. Then does that mean I can kill him?"

[I highly believe so. My lord, we are coming up to the spot you died in earlier.]

I scanned the area and saw a huge pile of Ghouls and Vampires. However contrary to what you would believe, the Vampires were beating the shit out of the Ghouls. They were in a circle trying to protect a small plot of land.

"What they fuck are they doing?"

When I adjusted my eyes, I saw that the plot of land was blood red. And some of the Vampires were licking the ground like crack addicts. Seeing the delirious eyes of the monsters as they eagerly tried to suck my blood off the ground made me cringe.

"I guess this is what you mean by Feral?"

[Yes.]

'[Inventory] FT5.'

Wordlessly I aimed and fired a 95mm Sacred into the commotion. The golden light erupted like a fountain as I passed. There were hardly any cries nor screams. Just one loud bang and then an eerie silence.

"LIMITLESS!!!!!!!!"

That was until my most special guest finally arrived. As I didn't need to fight him, I opted to try to annoy the fuck out of him instead.

'[Combat Shadow Silhouette]: Bella. Exa, help me, open an exit {Portal} back towards Castle De Arno. Ready the coordinate for the entrance at my command.'

[Yes, my lord.]

I turned around and charged towards Gaspar. The one stoic face of the Noble Vampire was no longer present. In its place was a deranged expression hell bent on revenge.

'Was this how Vampire normally were? How pathetic.'

"IMMMA KILL YOUUUU!!!!" he roared enraged.

'{Shelter}. [Berserker].'

I prepared my body for injuries along with covering the FT5 with defensive plating. I then adjusted my grip and held it by its butt. With my weapon securely in my hands I swung it at my enemy.

Gaspar's face twitched as he met my makeshift hammer with his fist. Unable to endure the FT5's frame cracked then snapped. Elated Gaspar made blood thirsty smile as he licked his lips.

Within the same second, he charged towards me with his nails aimed at my heart. I pivoted to the side and had his long nails bury into my left shoulder instead.

The ripping sensation as my flesh got gouged out made me wince, but it was used to pain. Gaspar on the other hand seemed beyond satisfied seeing my reaction.

"HAHAHA! Does it hurt? I lost a lot from your antics! I will enjoy butchering you slowly."

'Inventory. AA-12. [Vengeance].'

"That so?"

Using my left hand, I grabbed his arm and held him place. With my right, I aimed the fully automatic shotgun to his torso and let loose. Funnily enough, a smart opponent would have already pulled back. But the one before me seemed to be a fool.

"I expected better. Pathetic," I blurted out in dismay. Before pulling the trigger.

"AAGH!" suddenly being pelted by 12-gauge buckshots at point blank caused him to scream. But I felt no mercy as I kept my finger on the trigger.

Normal Vampires would already be dead by now. Gaspar not only resisted but regenerated his body even as he was peppered with hundreds of blessed pellets. Eventually he smashed my AA-12 away with his free hand.

The Noble Vampire turned his body and sent a full powered kick into my abdomen. Such was the blow's power that it pulled out his nails from my shoulder. Despite the relief I felt, I ended up vomiting my guts out.

'Fuck, that hurt…'

"DIE!!!"

With his fangs bared, Gaspar dashed towards me faster than a speeding bullet. Funny how using Bella's silhouette allowed me to not only anticipate but practically play with my opponent. My woman was really fucking awesome.

"Good luck with that," I said with a smile.

'{Portal}.'

An orange doorway appeared between him and me. Due to his speed, he was unable to stop in time and helplessly entered it. Seeing him confused in the skies of Castle De Arno was hilarious.

"HUH? LIMITLE…."

Cutting him off mid shout, I closed the doorway and bought myself a few minutes. Unfortunately, in the short Gaspar and I fought, I got surrounded Noble and peasant bloodsuckers in the air and Ghouls and undead on the ground.
