Chapter 724: THE LIMITLESS BUFFET! [1/2]
An average adult has 10-12 pints of blood in their body. Should he lose 5-6 pints the man would definitely die. While he dies at once he losses 5 or more, that did not mean he would be okay to lose more than 1.
Just losing 2.5 to 3 pints of blood would already send a human to hemorrhagic shock. Hemorrhagic shock was when there was a significant loss of blood, leading to a critical reduction in the volume of circulating blood and a decrease in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs.
To put it simply, much like to a gas was to a car, a body cannot run without blood. Once you no longer got blood to the specific parts of your body, they will let you know.
When your muscles no longer get the blood, you would begin to feel weak. Your brain without blood would go into confusion and become lightheaded. As for the heart, it begins to "gasp" and increases the pace of its beating in order to circulate more blood.
None of these were pleasant. In fact, most of them hurt. As I had blood pouring out of four of my limbs, I was sure I would "die" in a minute. Funnily enough, I cannot really die as a reaper. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
For one Reapers had bodies that mimicked humans. But we weren't human. We felt pain and pleasure, but we could forgo eating, sleeping and even breathing and still be okay. But even with that, I always wondered why we needed to "feel" at all.
As my mind got foggy, I forced myself to keep alert. My throat felt dry like I hadn't drunk water in a month. There was something holding my limbs in place so I couldn't move. Blind, maimed and weak, I was in pain.
"So sweet. What have you been eating, worm? You taste far better than the common riff raff."
"…"
"Oh right, {You can talk now}."
Unintentionally as I focused on not breaking down, I helped sell that I could under Bifron's Death Resonance. Thinking I had to say something I blurted out the first thing I could think off.
"T-That line would sound so much better if you were a girl," I complained groggily.
"Haha! Is that so? I can change bodies to one you find desirable if you prefer. Well, it isn't like you will live any longer anyway."
"OH!!!! So good!" "My lord! Why not turn him into a blood bag like the others?" "I agree! This taste! It is better than even virgins!" "Delectable. May I have some more?"
I didn't know what I should be feeling about their praise. But all I did know was that I needed to have a plan. As my {Rewind} was in cooldown, I waited. I could use {Replace} but the main problem was how do I fight them all.
The presence of a {Demon} was just that big of a variable.
'Should I use {Fate Breaker} again?'
"Because they are not you. Shouldn't you already know why you are different? We leave you this warning Limitless. We can only hide you from him three times. Do not use {Fate Breaker} beyond that."
That was what {Code} said. But how am I supposed to get out of this. I could run. I mean, my only goal was to bait them in. Perhaps trying to kill them all was me being to greedy. I had a plan with the Sirens.
Although, I am not sure if they succeeded.
'I don't even know if Bifrons can detect me using {Fates}. This is a rare opportunity to gain information from an Archdemon. I should use it.'
Despite my state, I felt something shake my right arm. It was vigorous as if they were trying to shake my hand.
"I think we are out, my lord! There isn't anything else coming out of this limb."
"You obviously hadn't drained a blood bag before. There is still some blood in the muscles. Do like so."
I then experienced my right arm being pulled out of my shoulder. The burning sensation as the removed my entire limb was enough to turn me insane. Unable to suppress my cries they leaked out.
"ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!"
"That is wasteful Jorgen, you should have broken the elbow first before draining the meaty part. Watch me."
One after another, my remaining arm and legs were broken and pulled out of me. As if they were trying to drain as much blood as they could. {Rewind} was my ace in the hole. At the moment they misunderstood my ability and believed it was just teleportation.
I could only fool them once. And to maximize the surprise, I needed to be patient. Funnily enough, as they tore my body to pieces, I felt my heart begin to burn. {Counter} seemed to be ready for use although it wasn't at max power yet.
"My lord, what should we do now? Now that this blood bag is handled what should we do?"
"Agreed. We were said to quietly take over our respective floors for so long. This summons pretty much blows all that away."
"I am the same my lord, I needed to kill the blood bags I made a deal with."
"I agree, it will be hard to return to our normal, most if of not all our pets were put down or exposed all for this blood bag is he really that important? I thought the target was North America."
"You all are foolish. Stop being shortsighted. I agree with my lord Bifrons. Being able to take down multiple vampires was something we did not expect. We are near the deadline; we cannot make any mistakes."
Due to my pathetic state, the Noble Vampires around me began to talk as if I wasn't state. The information they were now revealing while not indicative of the true plan, gave away may points I didn't know about.
"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.
"But I may have overestimated him when I sent out the emergency summons. But even so, I would much rather eliminate this
Bifrons replied while drinking something.
Something then lifted my chin and made me turn to the left and the right.
"Still. From what I know of Saints, it should not be possible to create blessings in such numbers. Just how are you able to do this, I wonder."
"Why not just ask him my lord. He should be in your control right now."
"Very well. {Tell me how you can use blessings in large numbers}."
While he did give the command, I didn't feel obligated to follow. But I wouldn't miss the chance to kill all these bastards. Imitating my best impression of a brainwashed junkie, I replied in monotone.
"I used my {fate} named {In the name of Limitless}. It allows me to give my body improved performance and the ability to reset upon taking a lethal hit. When I reset, my body returns to its former state before I get killed. This restores my blessings as well. I gave it to some Saints who created my blessed ammunition."
"The name is quite obnoxious, but the benefits are good. It seems it is like a complicated {Fate}, surely there are support {fates}?"
I nodded my head before continuing.
"I have the support {fates} {Auto} and {Save}. The former tracks my 'State', while the other one chooses where it happens. I need to call all three in order to use them."
The best way to lie was to mix bits of truth with it. Building a story on a lie is hard, however if there were elements of truth in the story then it could be used to make the lie more credible.
"Hoo? Interesting. But what was the teleporting ability you displayed earlier?"
