Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"…"

"Anyway, I have a ton of matters to ask you, but I would like to begin with saying thank you. We would have been in deep shit if not for you and your party."

"You're welcome. I did it for my own sake as well. But I'm curious what else you have to say," I answered curtly.

Zach cleared his throat with a cough before continuing.

"Anyway, Vampires rarely group together in large numbers, Nobles even more so. They are normally nomadic and hedonistic. From our investigation a thousand strong army comprised of Vampires should not have been possible to begin with. How were they able to come together under one banner?"

Right, I also noticed that. Even with Gaspar's immense strength, it was not enough to take command of the Noble Vampires. There was only one person who was able to control them. Although now that I think about it, maybe it was Stefan and not Bifrons who could control the army. That would certainly explain why everyone knew the duke but not Gaspar.

"It was due to a Rank S Greater Demon. He was named Bifrons the 68th."

"I see. Did he have a {Fate} that made the mosquitoes subservient or something?" Zach asked in passing.

'Husband, I do not like this. Be careful, they may ask us to compensate North America for bringing in the Tunneling Worms.'

'Be careful Dearest, if they learn of Stefan's {Brainwash} they will ask for his body.'

Hearing the words of my girls, I clenched my teeth. They were right, what we did was similar to an invasion as we didn't notify North America of our actions. As a result, while we did break the Vampire army, it also leveled the 32nd floor completely.

"Not that I am aware of, we just killed our way towards our target."

"I am aware, you did all this to take back a single Reaper right? Evenly Flowers?"

'Should I be even surprised that he knows at this point? I shared it the Hellsend leadership but how was it leaked to Zach? Did he have a spy operating in our midst?' I complained internally.

[My lord, Lady Bella and Aki have been trying to determine who the spy is by altering the information they shared to various groups. We should be able to find who it is soon.]

'Dearest, do not worry about counter espionage. Aki is extremely talented in that. Rather than simply kill the spy, She and Bella intend to turn that person to a double agent instead.'

'Oh? How?'

'By torturing the said spy before breaking his mind. Jo already has tested the effects. The Sirens already have a plan in place, once the spy is found we will take care of it,' Jas explained.

'You girls are amazing! When did you all even begin doing this?'

'Ever since we became Death Seekers, Beloved. When Exa shared how the AIs were used to find your weaknesses, we have been developing plans to counter them.'

Hearing my girls take everything in stride, I grew pleased. It was dangerous to have your actions reported to our enemies. As someone who played a lot of RTS games, intelligence was one of the biggest factors in victory and defeat.

'Thank you all. Once again, I am grateful to the heavens you are all by my side.'

As warmth and affection spread both ways of my link, I answered Zach nonchalantly.

"Yes. You are correct. We succeeded. This entire conspiracy thing was just something we uncovered by accident."

"I see. Then that is good. We assumed she had fallen in battle years ago. Is she okay?"

No, she was not. She turned into a fucking Vampire. As the answer got lodged in my throat, I needed to know how to approach this. Should we let them know that Hellsend in general already has alliances with monsters? Would they take offense in us sheltering one?

'And if it came down to it, will he fight us if we did so?'

In Anime and Manga, there were numerous stories of the protagonists fraternizing with monsters. And the attitudes of the government were always the same, they commonly tried to retrieve the monster and kill it.

The only stories that allowed the monsters to live were those in which the government was powerless compared to the protagonist. As I was thinking, I then felt Lilly squeeze my hand. Along with her melodious voice she tried to reassure me.

'Dearest. I advise in keeping the Awakened a secret for now. Do not be afraid. Even if we must come to blows, I will handle Zach. The impact of our alliance with the Awakened would help the entire world. This already goes beyond what he or even my father thinks!'

'I agree with Lilly, Husband. We personally fought with the Awakened. The malice we should have earned were eaten by them. Aside from that one time where you used {Rejuvenate}, our benevols didn't go beyond 10% in corruption.'

'Truly it is something that we should tell everyone. But Southerner politics are much too complex, Beloved. For now, we should consult with Bella and Jo on how to share it with the rest of the world. Keep him in the dark about Evelyn as a whole would be easier to manage.'

I was so thankful to have my girls for counsel. While I had the capacity to think about all this, I knew I would make a ton of mistakes if I did it alone. But with the Sirens analyzing the shit of such topics, they would surely find the best answer in my stead.

It was a stark reminder of how much goes behind the scenes that I didn't even know about. My girls were handling so much stuff just to ensure I do not fail. Truly I was lucky to have them in my corner. With such devoted women, I grew confident that I would not follow in Sahashi's footsteps.

"I do not know yet. Evelyn is in a coma. She has her soulgem intact, but I do not know if she is still alive," while my words were no lie, they were not entirely truthful either.

"… Is that so?"

Zach made a complicated expression as he gazed at me. It was the same face my dad made when he knew I was lying through my teeth.

"Is there something else you wanted Zach? I need to hurry home. I was told my domain is being attacked."

"Indeed, it is. But surprisingly your forces are holding on. They not only managed to defend well, but practically fought tooth and nail the South American Rogue army. Practically the whole world was watching how your people fought them. Your girls in particular were overwhelming."

I felt my heart pound in excitement. If Zach said so, then it seems the war was going well. While I trusted the girls it felt good to hear someone praise them. If only Zach stopped there.

"Unfortunately, the South Americans are a pain in the ass to deal with. The invading army has Specters. If they weren't present, South America would have been beaten back on the very first day. But the longer it goes on the higher the likely your guys would lose."

Specters. A single Specter was able to overturn our situation. That's how powerful they were. And the Anvil team had to fight against two of them. Hearing Zach's words I felt my blood pressure rise up. Jas and Lilly grip my hands tightly, as if to reassure me.

I couldn't help but emanate Death Resonance at the realization. All this time I assumed the South American army would only have Phantoms. They only had a little over 200 Specters could they really pull them away from the frontline that quickly? Hellsend only had Eva Baker!

If the other countries were willing to throw Specters at us, I misjudged the danger! What if there were 10? The Ensea army had 30, but they were expected to arrive in a couple of months. By then the Sirens and I would be Specters.

But it would be dangerous fight multiple Specters as early as now! As I tried to leave Zach blocked my way and quickly grabbed me by the shoulder.

"Get out of my way Zach," I growled.

"Bastard. I would like to make a deal, tell me everything you know, and I will use the Death Seekers to save your domain."

I let go of the girls and summoned Ebony and Ivory. the girls similarly raised their weapons. the two with the Nightmare pulled out their weapons in response.

"Are you fucking threatening me, Zach?"
