Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 320: Your King [1/2]

Bella and the girls began to discuss all the stuff about the newcomers. Technically, in order to bring the new groups into Reclamations, they had to be Death Seekers. But the same was not true for normal Defense battles.

It was funny, even though we had to fight the Saviors on Saturday night, none of the girls thought we would die there. While I agreed with their assessment, it still took courage to believe in such an assumption.

' I am against being underprepared, but I think this is enough,' I whispered to myself.

Since I had no flashy {Fates}, the only thing I could do was prepare as best I could.

Despite my attempts to exclude them, the Sirens were now determined to accompany me. The 2nd squad also wanted to join, but I stopped them.

Originally, it was because I wanted to fight without worrying about them. But now? I really didn't think I needed them. For one thing, the fighting prowess the Sirens showed in the fight earlier was beyond overwhelming.

Jo and Robyn were amazing in close combat.

Liv was like the best shield you could possibly have.

Jas and Aki could take advantage of any situation and assassinate key people.

Lilly was like a cheat hero unit that could literally be placed anywhere.

And the one who commanded them was Bella, who had a soulless army at her disposal.

Aira's assessments had all decided that we would have to fight to the death to win. But if the ambush earlier this evening was any indication, it would be a piece of cake. The problem was the reinforcements that Savior had hired.

'And if I'm being honest, the Slayer.'

Just remembering how overbearing he had been during our first encounter was enough to send shivers down my spine. Even outnumbered, he was a force to be reckoned with. He was the one I was most worried about.

Pitting him against a Siren was out of the question. Even Liv might not come out unscathed. So I would leave everyone else to the Sirens. And I will make sure that he will not be able to hurt any of my girls.

"It was Robert Acwellan. He was a man who had his entire village massacred. His rage created his {Fate} {Blood Feast}. I was only protecting the group because of him. When I forgot my reasons and my anger, I left and just killed undead for a few years. The current members were all recruited by Robert."

How broken must that bastard be to the only survivor, not once, but twice. Survivor's guilt was a thing. Especially when the group that died was extremely close. According to Xander, he recruited the original members of Savior to take down the reapers whose souls had collapsed.

"David Thomas was the reason she died. We were part of his assault team, and one night his soul collapsed. And she was one of the casualties to bring him back."

From my own experience, I knew how bad it was to lose control. I could only imagine what it would have been like for David. That blond bastard could punch nukes into existence. How could you even stop something like that?

"You see, I didn't forget right away, so I wrote everything down before my memories started to fade. I created the Saviors for one purpose. To kill reapers suffering from soul collapse. "

It wasn't that I couldn't empathize with Robert. But one's past was no excuse for psychotic murder. People. People were quite complex.

While they might be able to understand why some people ended up like that, none of them would condone the actions of a bastard. Especially if said bastard went on a rampage because of what had happened in the past.

Robert's history had nothing to do with me. My debt to him was for the Yuddha Rakshas, Krishna's men. They all died because of his attempt on Krishna's life.

{Tsk. Coward. You're next.}

And even with his heart and head blown out, he still fought four Phantoms. The guy was a fucking monster. Just the thought of him being around my girls was enough to put me in a bad mood.

"Calm down John, just think about how to solve this," I tried to reason with myself.

This night had been quite eventful, but the biggest problem right now would be that so much time had been wasted instead of earning souls for the Seeker War. While I could still say that, I wanted to rest. Although I was not physically tired, I was mentally drained.

I didn't actually eat any of the food from Eva's spread. I wasn't sure if there was enough, so I decided to wait. Although I could eat to restore my mind, I didn't want to. I was sure I would be fine for a while, but if I relied on it all the time, I would go crazy.

The last time I slept was on Tuesday morning, afterwards I got up I went to Hellsgate on Tuesday evening, Aki tried to kill me on Wednesday morning. I barely found the time and went on without sleep.

When the night was over, I returned to Earth and tried to buy a car. After the whole thing with Vincent Deryck, I reunited with the Sirens, which took the entire day.

With them accompanying me, I again went on without sleep a second time and marched to Hellsgate.

Then I was ambushed again and had a fight with the White Guard. Rolland kidnapped me afterwards. The Sirens all wanted to be pampered upon my return. As if that wasn't enough, the Sirens began reorganizing my forces the moment they arrived.

Then we had the problem with LLG, which led to the Bakers. And finally, I had to deal with the Fortification and Academic guys. Now known as Minerva's Wizards and Freyja's Bulwark.

I have been running around nonstop ever since the Sirens arrived at the battlefront. It was a weird feeling, to be honest. My body was not tired, my mind, though clouded, was still fine. It was my soul that called me to sleep.

'Fuck, I hardly earned anything tonight. And I used {Replace} a bunch of times. I mean, I could run Dirge Sirens even if the sun was up, but I don't want to.

While I was thinking about it, Joshua came over to me.

"Commander, here's your share."

"My what?"

"Your share, Commander. We made a lot of money and everyone agreed that you should take 10%. Some even wanted to give you 25%."

"What? Why? I didn't even join you."

"Commander, without you, we wouldn't have even been able to earn what we have now. I stopped the 3rd Squad from giving you more. They are extremely pleased."

3rd Squad meant Vela's wolves, right? Why would they give me money?

"Speaking of which, how did they fight?" I asked curiously.

"They learn extremely fast. And their bodies all have physiques worthy of athletes. According to Yvonne, it was a passive blessing they received from Mistress Vela."

"Blessing? What does that mean?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know, Commander. Anyway, how do I send you the money?"

"Just send it to my GRI. Lilly taught me earlier that every GRI has a soul account."

"Indeed. The 2nd Amendment as a whole does not have the latest GRI's so we don't have a GRI soul account. I will ask Phillip for help then."

"I see. Okay, that's fine."

Joshua lingered around despite the end of our discussion, so I asked, puzzled.

"Something else on your mind?"

"Commander, please let us join you on Saturday."

"No."

"But!"

"Enough."

"Commander, the Sirens are joining you, why can't we?"

"Those girls are prepared to die with me. Are you all the same?"
