Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 660: Guests? Who? [1/2]

"Aight you bastards! You READY TO DIE!" George suddenly shouted.

"HOORAH!" x5

"If you all no longer need anything on this floor. Then we can go," I suggested.

The men nodded. I thought they would have some kind of nostalgic memory but it seems not. While most soldiers on earth, joked about dying. These men were serious, they really intended to die.

’My {Kindred}, we are ready. Please bring the others with you.’

A few minutes later my battle harem, {Vassals} and Nyda came forward. With the addition of the 5 defenders, we now had a party of 15. We wouldn’t fit in Esca. But we should be using my UGV’s as mounts.

"George. Garrett was the one who allowed us to teleport into domain. If you were out, how was it possible that we still got in?"

The floor manager cross his arms while thinking deeply, after a few seconds he spoke.

"Hmm… its probably because that old bastard is ancient. I can only remove the access of those I personally granted. He was from a probably a friend of the manager I succeeded."

"Is that so? Then how are we going to enter the 31st floor? If I understood correctly the 30th floor not only has issues with the 32nd but also the 31st. Will we be able to warp in?"

"No, We can get in the 31st, but we won’t be using a warp gate. I’m sure the drunk bastard of the 31st has it locked like I did. And unless you got the code from old Garreth, you won’t be able to warp in like you did with my floor."

Probably seeing the confusion on my face, George R Clay continued.

"Never liked using the warp gates anyway. We are doing it the old fashion way."

"The only fashion way? What do you mean?"

Just then one of the defenders roared in an excited voice.

"HE MEANS WE ARE GOING TO BUST THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, BOY!"

His bellow was so loud you would think he was using {Announce}. Luckily, I had Exa, so even with {Listen} such boisterous bastard were no longer a problem. Grateful that Exa minimized the damage to my hearing, I asked curtly.

"How?"

George presented his fist in front of me before explaining. "We will move towards the Zone 1-301-1 then jump." The moment he said jump, he clenched his fist so tightly I could here the muscles in his hands grind together.

"Jump?"

The 1-1 of every zone was the tip of the pizza slice. It was the biggest zone and the one that had to be defended at all cost. While I did know that supposedly the floors were connected, I didn’t think it was literally.

Even in manga and anime, George’s thinking was rare. There were extremely few that allowed the heroes to physically smash the walls of the dungeon. More often than not the monsters and separations were fixed.

This was what keep the entire dungeon manageable. If you were weak, you didn’t have to worry about enemies from the lower floors coming for you. Because the dungeon itself would enforce the rules and keep monsters in their own floors.

I had believed the same held through for hellsgate. I mean otherwise there was nothing stopping the tainted undead like Draugrs from coming to the first ten floors. If that core assumption was wrong, then it would mean the defense of 1-1 zones would have to be extremely strong.

How would you even control which zombies could and couldn’t enter? Wouldn’t it be easier for monsters like dragons or something to just charge the front door? Before I could even ask, a friendly woman began to explain.

"My lord, if you are worried about why monsters cannot climb up even if reapers can go down it is because of what Academics call soul density."

"Huh?"

At Nyda’s explanation, I still drew a blank. Seeing that just the term was inefficient, she elaborated.

"Put simply, the amount of souls on a floor affect what can spawn there. In the lower floors the soul density is extremely low, thus it is near impossible for higher level undead to leave or even be born there."

"Then the greater this "soul density" the stronger the enemies will be present?"

"Yes my lord. That is the case. Even if they come up they lack of souls will just cause them to die. Thus no monster ever goes up its designated floor. But they do get replaced though."

My girls all suddenly were able to piece together the information we got.

’Intriguing. Then the reason why the monsters themselves fight to remain in the lower floors is so that they do not go instinct. Their numbers are replenished by Hellsgate itself. Do they have no need to reproduce? Dearest if we can understand how monsters we would be one step closer to closing Hellsgate!’

’Mhm. I think Nyda is wrong. Its not souls but malice. Husband, do not correct her. I think Administration intentionally made everyone else believe its due to the souls. Roach said monsters do not care about souls, what they live on is malice.

This means the deeper the floor the darker the malice. And the darker the malice the stronger the undead, demonkin and monsters would be.’

’Beloved, sisters. Wouldn’t that also explain that the thicker malice is why we were more burdened opening {Portals} on the 24th floor than on the first ten floors? That would also mean that it is only a matter of strength. Or maybe it is because of the fact that this entire floor fell is the cause?’

The girls began to theorize and guess on the truths behind Hellsgate. In dungeons there was rarely any explanation why monsters lived in them. Most of the time, no one even questioned why monsters existed in dungeons it was an accepted fact.

But I do agree with my {Kindred}. As our goal was to close Hellsgate understanding why monsters appeared in the first was crucial. If the undead were here because this was the human’s afterlife. Then what were monsters and demonkin ?

’My {Kindred} please let me know what you find. For now, lets stick with what we know,’ I replied to them.

’Yes.’ x3

Feeling myself getting bogged down by unnecessary crap, I thanked Nyda. Explore stories at novelbuddy

"Thank you for the explanation Nyda. I was wondering exactly about that. Anyway, George. So you intend to go to the 1-1 zone and jump to the next floor? If the 31st floor already fell, then wouldn’t that mean they would be guarding it?"

At my question, the Iron Wolverine looked towards his comrades and smiled.

"Yup, we are counting on it. There should be a couple of blood suckers there. Along with a fairly large army of ghouls. And probably some golem’s too."

"Right, I guess I should not have been surprised."

I turned around and addressed the rest of my party. Of course the Sirens would never allow me to go without them. So I faced the other four.

"This might be dangerous. The four of you coming?"

"Yes, my lord. Please let me join you!" Nyda shouted in earnest.

Leo simply nodded without a word.

"Of course, my lord! I am your {Vassal}! I-I will do a good job!"

"I’m coming with Brutha, can’t leave my little lady alone."

Pixie clenched her fists adorably, but everyone could see how scared she was. Yet she didn’t let that stop here. D naturally would protect her so his answer was already set.

"Okay then, you four can ride in Esca again. As for the defenders…"

My words were cut short when I saw one of them invoke a {Fate}.

"{Formidable}."

The Defender slowly grew in size before turning into a majestic blue violet bison over 20 feet tall. His body was covered in bulging muscles packed to the brim with power. It had four large horns on the top of his head. Smaller horn like protrusions covered its body.

Overall, the gigantic bison had an imposing presence. Its hoof was a big as Esca! Perhaps amused by my surprise, he scoffed as he declared with a thunderous voice.

"Hmph. Do not get surprised yet son. I will show you how veterans fight in Hellsgate."

However, just like a group of guys hanging out on a Friday, his friends had something to say. Perhaps already used to his transformation the ones who knew him best were not impressed, and instead began to curse him.
