Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter POV: Isabella Taurus Smith

___

"Fucking cheaters."

The sight of waves of Kamikaze Zombies was already a ridiculous one. Dominic Maegester tried to do the same tactic in the Honey's Seeker war. He had corpses shrunk and smuggled them in the stomachs of their allies. Quite a disgusting exercise but the tactical applications were undeniable.

I didn't know how long they had prepared that, but he was able to put almost 700 makeshift kamikaze vests on corpses. While it sounded good in theory It was first of all impractical. Why bother with all that effort when they would be just detonated? The vest themselves were unnecessary. Only the explosives mattered.

"WOW! Look at them go! It's like a watching fire works! HEHEHE!"

I couldn't help but clench my teeth at the sheer insanity of the one by my side. The commander of Vela's Wolves and the one who by far was the most insane person I ever met. It couldn't be noticed from the ground but from where we stood, Jo's play was beyond terrifying.

The Machiavelli was lauded for his ability to control 1,500 puppets. He commonly used monster corpses or undead to do his bidding. But even though I had his soulgem remade as a soulgear, I could never achieve what Jo was doing right now.

Even from where I stood, I could hear the explosions and screams of the South American army. Unlike Jas who created chaos in the most efficient manner, the Italian shooting star aim' was total anarchy.

"AHHH!!! IT BIT ME! HELP!" "HE IS INFECTED KILL HIM!" "NOOOO!!!" "ARGGGHHHH!!" "WAIT THE ORDERS SAID TO RUN!" "GET OFF ME!!" "KIAN! HEY GET OFF HIM!"

Jo demonstrated how malicious she could be. On top of using her new {Fate} to mess with the command structure, she single handedly terrorized them and forced them all to think on their feet. I mean, who had the patience to wait for instructions as thousands of zombies popped out of the ground?

The Hellsend Undead Division as Jo called it was comprised of over 100,000 undead. It should have been impossible to command a force this large even with {Instigator}. But my Italian sister did so by brainwashing purely Undead Undertakers. These Rank E undead were plentiful. And each was able to command 100 Rank Fs to a degree.

By forcefully taking hold of these Undead with {Whisper} and Death Resonance, Jo created a devastating army. And the what's worse, the normal weakness of the Undertakers where they needed to be present on the battlefield to revive and command their zombies.

And the nutjob by my side took that weakness and turned it into a strength. With her guidance, the Undertakers could remain hidden but revive and command Zombies out of sight.

"WHY WON'T THESE BASTARDS DIE?" "FOCUS ON THE UNDEAD!" "NO!! WE GOT TO RETREAT!"

With her undead blowing the shit out of the commanders and lieutenants, hardly anyone could lead afterwards. Adding commands in their native tongues with {Echo}, even seasoned veterans would have a hard time. Jo's actions brilliantly exposed our opponent's weakness in under ten minutes.

This was no trained army. It was a mob.

"HEHEHE! BELLA! Did you see? No one can find the Undertakers! I told you it would work!"

And her insanity allowed me to hide majority of our real force in reserve. Exa was keeping a live count of the army and Jo's simple but ingenious tactics already killed more than a fifth of the 1,500 strong army.

Sadly, this was probably the limit of her ruse. While it was enough to surprise them it was at most a nuance. These people were Reapers not humans. Despite not being soldiers, they could just brute force the problem.

I felt a colossal wave of soul emanate from our opponents. Along with a roar filled with soul.

"{Bring your champions to the fray}!"

True to the combat doctrine of South America, from 1,200 the numbers in front of us ballooned to over ten thousand. Beasts, humanoid monsters, insects, ghosts like apparitions and even machine constructs like robots sprang up. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Naturally the Rank Fs were powerless against them and quickly were dispatched. The summoned champions trashed the Normies and bigfoots like they were children. Even when they were resurrected by the Undertakers they were simply torn apart and flung away.

This was the annoying part of fighting those from my continent. You could never outnumber them. In terms of numbers, no one could beat South America not even Asia. And if we let this summoned army run amok, we would pay for it dearly. It was time to step it up.

"Yeah. Yeah. Well done. We should proceed to the next plan."

"OKAY! {PORTAL}!" Jo enthusiastically chirped.

I raised my hand in the air and calculated the coordinates of the air just above the main Army.

'Sabel, get me a visual.'

[Here you go Mother.]

My brain received the image of the spot I wanted. I opened a set or void doorways with this location as the exit. How impressive was it the Jo would keep up with me with pure brain power?

"{Portal}!"

Two spots in the sky above our enemies opened. Suddenly 914.4 meter subspaces gates appeared above them two hundred meters in the sky. I could hear the confusion coming from people who spoke my native tongue.

"Huh? Hey what's that?" "Stop looking at it and help me!" "ARGH! FUCKING ZOMBIES! JUST DIE ALREADY!"

"Van, Henry, are the artillery batteries in place?" I asked to my forces.

[Yes, Lady Minerva battery A is ready.]

[Coordinates locked, Mother. Battery B ready to fire.]

"DO NOT MISS! OPEN FIRE!"

[FIRING!] x2

A chorus of thunderous roars began. Behind my position I could feel the vibrations on my skin. The dust that settled on the fort was blown away creating a curtain of particles around the artillery units. Alternating rumbles caused tremors and shocks to assault the fort.

155mm shells from the Type 777 and CAESAR self-propelled howitzers began to fall from the {Portals} above the South American Army. The sharp whistling in the air screamed like sirens during a hurricane.

And soon after came the devastating results. In a storm of fire and steel, clouds of dust and ash ravaged the Reapers and their Champions. Their formations disintegrating into confusion and ruin. The largest summons tried to protect their allies but soon died to the power of modern artillery.

Even those that survived the first shells were torn to pieces as the relentless barrage continued. The poor Reapers and their Champions tried to leave the kill zone but due to being so tightly packed they just got decimated like fish in barrel.

'Exa, can summoner type Reapers resummon their Champions?'

[Yes, they can lady Bella. While there are differences most Summoner type Reapers can use soul to forcefully bring back their Champions for a cost. Though the more powerful the Champion the more stringent the rules are about its summoning.]

"WOW! THAT'S AMAZING! LOOK AT ALL OF THE PRETTY LIGHTS! HAHAHA! I wanna go too!"

Even amidst the deafening roars of our huge guns, I nodded to Jo as her hunger for battle grew. Wishing her luck I added a warning.

"Okay, take care Jo. Be ready to retreat on my mark."

Unfortunately, the one before me was anything but subservient. And not having Honey around to control her only sent her to the edge even more. The one before me made a huge grin as she replied with a face that screamed of madness.

"HAHAHAHA! FUCK THAT! WATCH ME KILL THEM ALL! I only answer to Darling, bitch. Not to you or anyone else! I WILL WIN THIS WAR ON MY OWN!

{REWIND}!"

Not leaving any time for me to reply the nutjob vanished in an explosion of light. If it was anyone but Jo, I would worry. But true enough, the Italian had the intelligence that really made her not only an excellent commander but a master tactician.

'[Inventory] 629.'

I pulled out the gun that the man I loved gave me and kissed it. It was during such times that I really wanted to shoot my sisters. But I knew he would get furious if I did.

"Sigh, Mr. Code. Be prepared to spoil me when you return. Dealing with a bunch of lunatics is hard."

[HaveYouMetMyFish: Bella, I have found the commander. It is one of the Specters. He along with a group of 50 Phantoms are being protected by the other Specter at the center back. I do not think I can assassinate them and remain undetected.

[SiliconeChipDiva: Got it Aki, has Inari's Kitchen retreated? Do you think sending some Switchblades would help?]

[HaveYouMetMyFish: I do not know. They sent swarms of insects and beasts to clear the fog. We have yet to expose our hand and have instead used Jo's zombies as cover. Around twenty from my unit has rewinded back after being exposed.]

[SiliconeChipDiva: Is that so? Well, Jo is on the move so you should get your chance, with their numbers, they should begin their assault soon.]

[HaveYouMetMyFish: Fufu, did Jo decide to listen to you?]

[SiliconeChipDiva: It went about just as you would expect.]

'Sabel, send all available Switchblades towards Aki's location.'

[Yes, Mother.]

At my reply, the seductive voice of Aki began to giggle. Her voice had no sense of urgency nor tension.
