Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Like junkies looking for their next shot, monsters all trashed in the sea of guts and liquefied innards. I felt my jaw tighten at the simple demonstration of power by Bifrons. In terms of pure power that attack was insane.

The damage was not Revenant worthy. Yet it definitely already surpassed the might of a Phantom. Oblivious to my thoughts, the Greater Demon held his hand out and once again called out another {fate}.

"{Heed}!"

Unlike earlier where I could hear the sounds of groans and roars the area suddenly turned silent. Much like how zombies turned docile during the Enlistment, the Vampires and Ghouls suddenly all stopped moving.

"Ahh. Much better. Don't you think so?"

"Yeah, thanks. Hearing all of them gargling rocks was hard on the ears," I thanked.

"Haha, how amusing! Your body should already be trembling in fear, yet you remain defiant! I cannot remember the last time someone had the gall to stand up to me!"

"Andromalius had the same arrogance. And he is dead now. Are you really sure you should be trash talking me right now?"

"Hahaha!"

Bifrons then came closer and held my face. He then pushed his thumbs into my eyes! His fingers which were no different that swords in this case, pressed on my eyeballs.

I felt the pressure build until they ruptured and gushed out of the eye sockets. Unused to such slow torture, I began to try violently wretch my body free. But the monsters pinning me down were like steel clamps. My voice resounded in the skies as I screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

A sharp sting throbbed inside my head. In the now vacant eye sockets in my skull, extreme pain almost caused me to pass out. I felt blood and meaty clumps drip down my cheeks.

Naturally my vision was gone. Still while the sudden loss of my eyeballs was a surprise, it was nothing I couldn't handle.

"Your screams sound lovely. I am pleased. You keep talking nonsense I will ensure you go crazy from pain and beg me to kill you."

"…"

"Okay. I am hurt that you do not seem even a bit surprised of my arrival. Why is that?"

"Because Gaspar was too weak. The Vampire army didn't even follow him. And Stefan was too stupid to be the mastermind."

"Haha! I see. That is indeed the case. The reason I chose the Vampires was because they were nearly immortal. Yet you not only managed to harm and kill them but did so quite easily. I even left Gaspar when you suddenly began to bless him."

I see. Unlike Andromalius, this bastard either haunted others or controlled them. Being able to hijack other bodies like a parasite was an incredibly powerful ability.

However, I did not expect to find a typical villain, however. In anime and manga, it was commonplace for villains to gloat and share stories once the protagonist was in dire straits. I usually thought it was a lame gimmick for exposition.

But considering how Bifrons was giving me bits of info, it seems much like everything else, IRIS knew of this behavior. And wanted to teach us what to do when in this same situation.

The common trope was to express fury and praise the villain. Some on the other hand just remained silent and allowed the villain to gloat. Normally these people just wanted to hear the sound of their own voice.

"Still, it was quite impressive. I have been told to keep an eye out and prepare an invasion force. Who knew that someone like you would pop out! I had heard that Andromalius was killed. When he comes back, he is going to be pissed!"

'What? When he comes back? Andromalius will? Wasn't he dead?'

"Haha your face seems to be surprised that he can come back! Listen here worm. The Archdemons are not only immortal in that we do not age. We are the ones who are truly immortal. We cannot be killed! The most that happens is we go to sleep!"

Fuck. Was this why the Reapers could not push forward? Just from my experience, without {Recursion} Hellsend would have been killed thousands of times. And this bastard was telling me all we accomplished was to put the Andromalius to sleep?

"HAHAHA! Wonderful the malice coming off you is delicious! Yes, worm. Much like the one without end, we are truly immortal. Anyway, I have a question for you! Answer truthfully or I will shatter your testicles."

'Ugh. Unlike in anime or manga, I seldom read of ball torture as a staple. Guess IRIS gets somethings wrong too.'

"Do you wish to join my side?"

"Huh?"

"What? You didn't expect me to try to recruit you?"

"No, I did not."

What the fuck was this bastard saying. Did he really believe I would join him just like that? Unlike Andromalius who was like an edgelord. Bifrons reminded me of a child who just went with the flow.

"Nevermind then. What is your answer?"

"I refuse."

"Oh? That's a shame. I guess I will just settle for Stefan. Thank you for the meal! It's been a while since I tasted such fine blood!"

Wait! Wasn't he supposed to talk more? He means to kill me now, right? Shit! Without Exa I need to trigger {Rewind} on my own. But the problem would be if I could overpower Bifrons on my own.

As I racked my brains for a way to get out of this situation, help came from those I did not expect. The other Nobles holding me down began to speak up.

"Lord Bifrons, can we please have a sip as well?" "It would be better if we could take his {Fate}." "Indeed, your grace! His power is quite unique! Giving it to our Vampires would greatly strengthen our forces!" "Please, Lord Bifrons!"

"Eh? But isn't his power just teleporting? He is Formless. The only reason he can even kill Vampires is because of blessed rounds. I had heard about Hellsend having lots of blessings but without him they should run out soon."

Fuck. Should I {Rewind} or not? I could only surprise them once. And what if he was telling the truth and none of my {Fates} would work!? How would I fight Bifrons on my own together with the rest of the Noble Vampires? Would the same tactic work on him?

I was confident in taking down everyone but Bifrons.

As the Nobles didn't listen to Gaspar, it was fighting a unified army. At most it was just a long series of duels. But with Bifrons here, I was such he could command the army to move with one will.

"Tsk. Fine. Why not? We aren't going to attack North America yet anyway."

"Thank you, my lord!" x5

"Rejoice worm. You get to live on forever through us. There can be no greater honor."

{Do not move!}

I then felt a wave of soul enter my body. It was a death resonance, but it was weak. It hardly had the power to make me comply. However, acting as if he controlled me would give me a chance to attack him.

It was obvious. Bifrons did not believe I was a threat. He underestimated me and believed my combat abilities were locked and only my guns had any value.

'But wouldn't I die if they all sucked me dry? Think John. How could we turn this around? Shit I wished Exa was here. A nuke or biochemical weapons like mustard gas would be ideal for this.'

As I mulled how to kill, I felt the Nobles Vampires let go of me. In line with pretending, I allowed them to do what they wanted while I thought of a plan.

'Is it possible to gas these fuckers? No. Even if I could turn to gas, I would need a medium. That would just turn me into a blood mist. They would get wet at most. It wasn't like my blood would make them weak like what Robert did to us…WAIT!

BLOOD!'

I suddenly remembered that my blood was actually weaponized. And the thing that reminded me a letter I received before.

"The answer to your plight lies in your blood, remember this when hope seems distant."

'FUCK! Did that woman saw all this in the future?!'

Before I could do anything, I felt my hands and feet suddenly get chopped off. An invisible force raised my hands and feet. Naturally my blood began to spill out.

Normally I would be terrified of falling here. But I found hope to get out of this situation. And the answer was in my blood.
