Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 289: Ask Roland [2/2]

Since I had Exa and her unlimited reloads, I kept firing long past five rounds. Of course, none of my bullets landed in the same place. I shot his entire torso, moving my gun arm at different angles.

My trigger finger was quite fast, so I practically unloaded close to twenty Magnums in those few seconds. Enraged by my attack, Raymond's face contorted in rage as wind lances covered both of his arms.

"ARROGANT MOTHERFUCKER! DIE!"

"[TANK]."

Raymond buried his wind lance into my head. A painful sensation of a razor-sharp wind construct traveled through my skull as everything above my head was shredded like confetti.

It was fucking painful. Have you ever imagined what it felt like to be thrown into a heavy duty waste grinder?

Yeah, this was even more painful. As if my body suddenly felt the loss of my brain, it suddenly felt stiff.

'MOVE! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!' I screamed inwardly.

{REPLACE}.

Imagining the scenery from behind the Specter, I invoked my {Fate} and rewound behind him. The next second, my body manifested.

Of course, all the nerves in my body were screaming with the pain they had just felt.

It was the opposite of the phantom limb. The feeling I had lost returned, which was like a thousand volts of electricity running through me all at once.

But I had bigger problems right now.

[Inventory] M1014.

I tried it as an experiment and found that I could draw weapons without using my mouth. It was the same as using {Fates}. As long as the soul was used, the effect would be achieved.

Raymond seemed to have the ability to fly, so I jumped towards him and used him as a handhold.

"What?! How the fuck are you not dead?"

Ignoring his surprise, I wrapped my legs around his torso like a vise. With my upper body raised, I pushed the business end of the Benelli to his head, albeit awkwardly.

"Go ask Roland."

With these last words I pulled the trigger and his head exploded. His arms tried to cut me, but the moment his coconut went kaboom, I released my legs around his midsection. As I fell, the Specter kept swinging his lances around like a crazed chicken.

I invoked [Sky Walk] and continued the fight. Using the sky as my new footing, I ran around the Specter while firing 12-gauge buckshots at him. Showing his experience as a fearsome warrior, even headless Raymond proved formidable.

One bullet was all I could land on him, after which his headless body figured out where I was. Acting as if it had eyes, the Specter blocked all my subsequent shots with his winds.

With the M1014 no longer proving effective, I let it go in preparation for my next weapon. But before I could speak, my ears heard a piercing screech.

It was the sound of metal chains. I turned around, hoping to defend myself, and saw a thick chain with three foot spikes protruding from it.

"Yeah, fuck that."

I stopped running. The sudden stop canceled [Sky Walk] right after I fell like a brick. The barbaric weapon struck the place where I had just been like a viper.

Turning my body, I used [Eagle Eye] to find the source of the chain. It came from Xander's arm, or what was left of it.

Like the texture of slime in fantasy novels, Xander's right arm was made of silver metallic water. Like mercury. Or the liquid Terminator from Terminator Judgement Day.

'Well, I never expected this to be easy. I should be grateful, he even gave me a few minutes with Raymond.'

"XANDER! STOP INTERFERING! I WILL KILL THIS MOTHERFUCKER!"

Fuckboi seemed to have found his voice again, judging by his angry roar. I could still faintly hear his complaints along with the clanking chains coming at me from behind.

"Tsk. You want to restrain me? Motherfucker, you will regret not coming after me for real."

I put both my arms in front of me as I called out my combo skill.

"[Battering Ram]."

Applicable regardless of direction, instead of falling like a brick, my body began to accelerate like a missile. As I approached, I drew my next weapon.

"[Inventory] HCAR."

Protected by the air dome of {Battering Ram}. I began raining .30-06 rounds down on the ground. Even an egg could take out an eye if thrown fast enough. So my rounds turned orange as they increased in velocity.

Not stopping there, I called another weapon to my right as the HCAR fired from my left.

"[Inventory] FT5"

Summoning the strongest firepower I had at my disposal, I targeted the Denel FT5 portable anti-tank rocket launcher. I skipped using the targeting reticle and used [Eagle Eye] instead.

Originally, rocket launchers had what were called arming distances. That is, if your target was in close range, the missile would not activate. It would just break up and explode by chance.

I was maybe 200-300 feet in the air right now. The FT5's arming distance was 21-43 yards. Meaning at this distance it would be more than enough.

My .30-06 rounds already started to smash into Xander. Unlike before, he hid behind a shield of liquid metal angled towards me.

"[Double damage]."

Sending kinetic energy into the warhead, I pressed the firing trigger of the FT5 and launched a rocket at the Specter.

I laughed as I came up with a great idea. [Autoload] should have activated the moment I got here. This would give me a save point at the place I arrived.

A piercing sound came from behind me. It was different from the chains, it was faster, almost like a bullet.

"Tsk, fuckboi is finally here? About time."

The bullet that was coming for me hurtled in along with an angry roar.

"IMMA KILL YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"

"{Rewind}."

With a flash of particles, my body vanished. I reappeared behind Xander, who was still shielding himself from the .30-06 rounds still falling. I used the moment to summon a new weapon.

"[Inventory] BLR 81."

I got down on one knee and aimed my sniper rifle at Xander. The problem with using a shield was that it blinded you to what was happening behind it.

I could care less if he went easy on me. I would not let a chance like this pass me by.

Pulling the trigger, I sent 7mm Remington Magnum rounds towards the back of Xander's head.

And unlike before, the bullets weren't intercepted, but instead tore off chunks of the Specter's head.

Even with his head ruined, knowing that this was not the end, I kept firing. I was hoping to get lucky and get his soulgem.

Xander's body finally turned around just in time for the 99mm rocket to arrive. With a loud boom, the specter was engulfed in a fiery explosion. Less than a second later, fuckboi also crashed to the ground, seemingly unable to stop.
