Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 765: Weak as fuck [2/2]

"You must really think us Specters are weaklings. You come here like a fool with this who…"

Before he could finish his words, I blinked beside him and cut him down from left shoulder to hip. Unable to stop me the conquistador helplessly cried out as he laid in pieces.

Specters did not die from such attacks, so I wasn’t worried. Besides, Jo already gave me the means to kill this bastard before we even sat down.

’Darling, the conquistador is a coward who fears for his life. His soulgem is separated into twelve pieces, two in his palms, two on his shoulders, two on his knees, one on his back and one behind his eye. I didn’t even dive too deeply; he kept thinking about it because he is so terrified of Aki.’

I moved the halberd I got from Roach and drove the tip into the eye of the conquistador. Then I stomped on his torso and skewered both his palms and both his shoulders. I felt a sharp crack for every piece of the soulgem I destroyed.

"AHHHHHH!!!!"

Annoyed I stabbed my weapon into the roof of his mouth, shutting him up completely.

"Listen here you stupid fucker. Bella is the only reason I decided to even listen to you weaklings. She is one hell of a woman that makes me believe in the potential of South America. If you insult her again, forget running away. I will destroy the rest of your gems before you can even blink."

’Honey… I love you…’

’Not as much as I love you,’ I replied.

I felt affection and gratitude pour out of Bella’s link. Despite her indifference, I was sure she never wanted to see people who had similar backgrounds like her die needlessly. The way she looked at me was as if we were the only two people in the world.

Feeling that was enough, I moved back to my seat and stored the anti-soul halberd. The Inca Warrior probably felt it too, that if I continued, even his {Fate} couldn’t bring back the conquistador back from the grave.

The Inca Warrior removed his helmet before touching his subordinate. When he did the conquistador regained his original body as if he used {Rewind}. The arrogant bastard pipped down and sat without another word.

"Thank you for sparing him Limitless, I am Carlos Rodríguez the commander of this expedition. I have come here under the command of his majesty the Relentless. Our orders are to capture the Reaper Limitless or eliminate him, if possible," the Inca warrior began.

"Why?"

"I am no politician, but I would think it is because of your power to cleanse malice. Our spies saw the influx of Devil’s remains and it would break down the balance of the battlefronts. As one of the closest continents to North America, we fear her retribution for our actions in the past."

’Hmm…This bastard is really a straight shooter. Even he knows how bad the shit was that SA did to my continent.’

’Quiet Honey, let me take over.’ Read new adventures at novelbuddy

’Please do, Mrs. Code.’

"Please to meet you Sir Carlos, my name is Bella Taurus Smith. Spouse to Limitless and a former reaper of South America. I get what you are trying to say. But why are you exposing your thoughts? As a diplomat you will find it hard to bargain if you continue this way."

"Ah, that is because I see no further reason to continue this Charade," Carlos said curtly.

"What do you mean?"

"That is because despite only knowing Limitless today, I felt like I already know him intimately. They say you learn of a man’s mettle in battle, and over the last four days, I have seen enough. If a powerful force like Hellsend is any indication, this man is truly dangerous."

Carlos swept back his hair as he sighed.

"Furthermore, while North America may not have been aware of the Vampire conspiracy on your own floors, we had been tracking it for years. I must say compared to what you and your squad of Reapers did on the 32nd floor, I would agree that we are weaklings by that standard."

"You knew about it?" I growl in irritation.

"Not just us, Europe, Asia and Africa did too."

Well fuck. Rather than help North America deal with a impeding catastrophe, everyone instead was waiting like vultures to scavenge on what remains after.

’Honey, please calm down…’

Gritting my teeth, I folded my arms to ensure I didn’t end up killing this mother fuckers.

"Your anger is understandable, Limitless. But you have barely been a Reaper for a month. There is no permanent allies in Hellsgate, only partnerships based on mutual desires."

"Don’t give me that crap. If you know how the battle went on the 32nd floor, you must know the power I can bring to bear. One of my wives said your forces volunteered to revive their dead. I don’t really give a shit but go home. If you decide to continue, rather than gain a life be prepared to lose the ones you have still have," I declared outright.

"I am aware, my allies are doing what we can to delay the arrival of your other wives. As your enemy I truly loathe your harem. But as a man I cannot help but get impressed at finding so many powerful yet beautiful women."

"They are my pride and joy. But enough of that. Where does that leave us Carlos? Will you die for your continent or leave?"

"Sadly, neither option is appealing to me. As you may have noticed, we are rogues. We are a disposable force sent here to get as much information about Hellsend as we can. Granting your armies capabilities it is only out of sheer luck that we haven’t been eradicated."

Bella who heard the Columbian’s dire circumstances couldn’t help but ask, "Then what about the bit about Nuestra Señora del Valle? She is a legend in Brazil! Does she really revive people? What does she charge for her services?"

Carlos made a wry smile as he answered, "Lady Bella, it is impossible to truly revive the dead. Señora del Valle’s abilities are grossly exaggerated. She can only call out a dead spirit to talk for an hour. After that the spirit has to leave never to be summoned again."

"Oh…"

"They use her abilities as a means to recruit Reapers, but ultimately it is all a sham. My soldiers fight desperately for such a lie. Even if we succeed, I am sure we would be terminated upon returning. I knew this for a fact as I was once the one tasked to kill loose ends."

I could feel the sadness emanating from Bella’s link. She might have been secretly hoping it was possible to revive her dead parents. But even I knew that it was against the laws of nature to bring back those who already rest.

Wordlessly I took her hand in mine and squeezed it tenderly. My Brazilian bombshell looked at me with melancholy. But she bit her lip and resumed the negotiations.

"If that is the case, that what will you do now?" Bella asked.

"I do not know yet. But I was planning to suggest a ceasefire before your other wives return. I have been fighting rather lukewarmly as Herman and I were planning what to do in the future."

Hearing their circumstances I only renewed my disgust for the Revenants. It was amazing to me that even Specters like Carlos and the Conquistador were considered disposable. As someone who wanted to raise an army to fight the undead, 1500 summoners were by no means a worthless force.

Yet having fought them up close, I could understand why they were abandoned. For one hardly any of the reapers gave the impression of those fighting for their lives. The only feeling I got was they already gave the impression that they were hopeless with no vision of their lives.

Like living corpses. Despite not truly being dead, this group already acted as if they were dead. I could take them under my wing, but would they be of any use?

’Hmm… what to do…"

’Darling, are you thinking about taking them in?’

’I advise against it Shujin. They are at most only as good as a meat shield.’

’But don’t we lack people? Besides having a ton of disposable beasts that can be repeatedly summoned could be useful. Maybe we can use them as pack mules or something.’

Looking towards my Brazilian bombshell I asked for her opinion. ’Honey, what do you think?’

’I know that they are weak. But I do not wish for them all to die. If not for Honey, I would have had the same {fate}. John, I know I am being shameless, but can we please save them?’

’Naturally, your wish is my command,’ I declared with a smile
