Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Most amusing, you all would stand before me so defiantly?"

"Father, I was merely highlighting the usefulness of Hellsend as a fighting force."

"Fuck off, Your Highness, we just offed a demon and you weren't even here! Possum was the one who wiped your ass!"

"Hehe, I always wanted to try fighting a Revenant. My lord the Invincible, my name is Vela. I am darling's woman. Wanna spar?"

"You won't take my husband... I could care less if you are a Revenant."

"The only way you will touch my beloved is if I am dead. Come at me!"

"What the fuck is wrong with all of you? Has the beating I gave you earlier made you all stupid? This bastard needs to get his women in order."

"Nightmare-sama, you may take the Slayer's soul gem. None of us would object, even if you want to take back the demon's corpse. But we will never give you Shujin's body. If you really want it, we will resist with everything we have."

"Damn it, everyone needs to calm down! Honey should wake up soon. This can all be settled once he wakes up. Let's all play nice! Peace is good!"

"HAHAHAH! As expected from the harem my son-in-law has chosen! You all have courage far beyond the norm! I like it! What about the rest of you? Phillip, do you intend to sever ties with me?

The two beside you are Tildi and Will, right?"

"The fucker even has my wife with him. Constance, are you choosing this bastard over me?"

Well, fuck. I just regained consciousness, but the girls were already arguing with someone else. When I opened my eyes, my back was against Delroy. Pixie had her arms out as she shielded me from the front.

The bravery of this young child was commendable. Especially considering the people in front of her.

My eyes quickly took in everyone present. Hellsend was surrounding a group of less than twenty people. Though no one had their weapons raised, everyone was on guard.

The Soulless Army, the dragons, and nearly a thousand reapers were like coiled springs, ready to strike.

You could practically cut the tension with a knife. In the center, surrounded by my army, was David Thomas.

He was flanked by The Nightmare Zachary Lynch and Grey Ash, who I assumed was the current commander of the White Guard. About ten men and women in white uniforms stood with them.

While the Invincible and the Nightmare were carefree, the White Guard were noticeably sweating bullets. All of their hands fidgeted uncontrollably as they held their weapons close, ready to draw at a moment's notice.

"HAHAHA! GET UP, SON-IN-LAW! WE WERE ABOUT TO START WITHOUT YOU!"

As David laughed happily, I stood up and walked toward him. There was a palpable sense of relief among my allies. When they saw me get up, they breathed a sigh of relief.

My girls had tears in their eyes at my return. Their relief and concern was relayed to me through our Pseudo Kindred connection. They also all sent {Code} messages asking if I was okay.

I reassured them as I made my way toward the Revenant of the North American continent. When we came face to face, I stared fearlessly into his eyes. Robert's word from earlier repeated in my mind.

"David Thomas murdered my entire village. My parents, my children, my wife. Everyone I ever knew died at his hands."

"I didn't make {Blood Feast} by accident. David made me wish for it. He taught me how to create a {Fate} that would give birth to a demon. And told me that I could use it to kill him."

It was easy to assume that the Revenant before me was a psychopath. But my time in Hellsgate taught me an important lesson.

'Things are not always how they appear.'

I was stupid. So originally I didn't care about the details. But knowing the lengths David went to make sure Robert summoned a demon, I would be an idiot to assume that such a fate could not happen to me.

Robert had no reason to lie. And if anything, {Blood Feast} was no ordinary {Fate}. I could easily believe that he was lying just for the hell of it. But the Slayer was extremely direct and even tried to warn me before passing on.

Zach, on the other hand, not only spied on me, but even used me to kill Rogues for him. David also used me as a pawn to expand North American influence on the 24th floor.

Who was an ally and who was an enemy.

How would I decide who to trust and who to be wary of?

The man before me stood at the pinnacle of power. Only six others stood with him. Yet he recognized my worth and treated me as an equal. Being treated as an equal meant that our relationship had only three possible labels.

Allies, strangers, or enemies.

Although he tried to make it appear to the world that I was his ally, the reality was not so clear. For one thing, Isolde and Krishna were now among those under my protection. This meant that I was in direct violation of David's will.

Secondly, I didn't agree with the way he was running things. Because of our disagreement, I couldn't serve under his banner. And that was before the revelation of the Slayer.

I already knew that my forces would have to change battlefronts at some point. Since I didn't want to subordinate myself to another, our separation was set in stone. In truth, I believe that this line of thought was the reason he approved of me in the first place.

If everyone groveled at your every word, the world would lose its color. And for someone who held the North American continent under his thumb, it must have been even more so.

And I had no fucking idea how this wannabe superhero in spandex saw the world.

But I did know that if I wanted to survive, I had to steel my will and treat him as my equal.

The moment I cowered before him would be the moment David Thomas would surely kill me. I was sure of that with every fiber of my being.

"What do you want, David?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

Zach, Grey, and the rest of the White Guard made angry faces. Their loyalty must be very high to act like that. But their master didn't comment on my lack of respect when he replied.

"Give me the demon's body," he said with a broad smile.

"David, I heard my harem talking to you. They have already told you that you can take it. Yet you are still here."

"Indeed. Your harem has grown magnificently in less than a month, they are all halfway to becoming Specters. If last time they were all meek as sheep, now they have enough courage to stand in front of me! Truly amazing!"

"Get to the point. I just killed a demon and would like to rest now. What do you want?"

"Defend North America for half a year. I will reward you handsomely if you succeed."

"W-what?" I stammered.

The Revenant chuckled at my awkward response.

I looked around and gestured to everyone present. "Are you sure you want to talk about this in front of all these people?"

"Do you move rooms just because there are rats that hear your words? I do not care about the will or actions of those beneath me. Your answer?" He declared with a huge grin.

Wow. Now that was the confidence of someone at the very top. Not only did he insult everyone present, but he literally didn't care what the rest of them did.

"Who am I defending against?"

"Three continents are gathering forces as we speak. Africa, South America, and Asia. They are all preparing to invade in the coming months."

"Why does it have to be me? There are more powerful Specters. Let them defend the continent."

"Hahaha! That is true! But you know what those bastards are like! They no longer give a damn about anyone else!"
