Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 389: You should have listened. [2/2]



I knew from talking to Jo that while {Announce} cost 400 souls per use, it increased to thousands when paired with a death resonance order. The more specific the order, the more souls would be needed.

To keep the cost down, it would help to make the orders vague. Surrendering to your desires was neither specific nor did it have immediate results. But if such a command was given to people who were struggling to control their anger.

There would be only one result.

"FUCK YOU LIMITLESS! I'M GOING TO FUCK YOU UP!!" Your journey continues at mvl

"MARV! WAIT! STOP HIM!"

Still firing nonstop with Sunday, I quickly switched POV's to Saturday and aimed at the boss's temple. Similarly using Wednesday, I squeezed the trigger and fired a 95mm HEAT warhead.

What happened next was too fast to comprehend. Marv tripped one of the M16A2s and tried to run forward. As the "frog" mine jumped into the air, everyone focused on it.

I pulled the trigger on the BLR 81 and fired a 7mm Remington into the leader's temple. With only 600 yards between us, the bullet immediately entered the boss's head and came out the other side.

Blood and brain matter naturally spurted from the new hole in his skull. Before anyone noticed his death, there was a loud explosion of 1.3 pounds of TNT. Since the body of the land mine was made entirely of iron, it was shredded and turned into metallic shrapnel.

Needless to say, the resulting carnage was gory to say the least. As if peppered by a shotgun, people around the mine died instantly. Those caught in the blast tried to run all over the place, only to set off the other two mines.

The Reapers that were charging some spell were interrupted and began to explode like fireworks. Before the other mines detonated, the HEAT warhead arrived and took out an entire group of ten.

The explosions seemed to break the {Barriers} rendering them defenseless.

In the confusion, I used Saturday to snipe the heads of those with {Barriers}. I specifically sniped only the three blocking Sunday.

More explosions followed as two more M16A2s detonated.

Piloting Sunday, Without the people in front of me blocking my shots, I gunned down anyone still standing in front of me. In the span of ten seconds, the 1st Wave of Saviors was in tatters.

As the dust and debris settled, moans and cries of pain echoed as if I were in a field hospital. Switching to Saturday, I again scanned the area and saw carnage from above. Limbs were blown off, bodies were charred black, and the ground was soaked with blood.

Some of the people curled up into balls, trembling with fear.

Those who still had the courage to fight ignored everything and drew their weapons as they rushed to hack Sunday to pieces.

Not giving a shit, I returned to Sunday and kept pulling the trigger on my USP matches. Bullets slammed into their hearts and heads as they died pathetically before they even had a chance to reach me.

Then I felt a sharp blade plunge into my heart and stomach. The blade came from behind and burned as I vomited blood. It seems they had assassins hunting me silently, hidden in the large group.

"Heh, you're not so tough." "Quickly cut off his arms." "So weak. I knew Formless were shit."

In the next moment, I felt both of my arms fall to the ground. Just as I had sniped their leader in the confusion, they were trying to take me out with a sleight of hand.

"We should get the 750,000 bounty, right? Since he is alive and all." "Why was everyone afraid of the first wave anyway, this fucker is Formless." "Do any of you know what his {fate} was?" "I barely paid attention to the report." "Who cares?"

"You should have listened. {Rewind}," I quipped gleefully.

I vanished from where I stood in a burst of light. A second later, I reappeared in the middle of the landing zone. The M16A2 Sunday previously stood on flew up and exploded at my previous location.

Naturally the assassination-type wraiths were still there.

"RUN!" "AGHHHH!!" "AHHHHHH" "KEHUEK!"

Not really in a hurry, I focused on the dying reapers around me. Pulling out Ebony and Ivory, I shot one of the wraiths in the head as he curled up in fear. When his allies saw this, the rest began to beg desperately.

" LIMITLESS I BEG..." "STOP! I SURR..." "HAVE MER..."

But before they could finish their words, I shot them between the eyes. When they saw that I had no intention of taking prisoners, the others began to flee.

Mercilessly, I executed them through the heart from behind, like animals.

"Monster!" "You murderer!" some of them cried. But I simply killed them, too. Like a Grim Reaper, I made sure none remained breathing as I passed.

As I walked towards the assassins with Sunday, I made sure to scan the field from above with Saturday. Fortunately, there seemed to be no one else alive.

[Exa, where are the other Savior Reapers?]

[Limitless, they will arrive in 5 minutes].

[How do you know that?]

[Since Savior has more than 50 people, they will arrive in batches of 50 every ten minutes. Barely 8 minutes have passed since the war began.]

[But I've been here for over half an hour, haven't I?]

[Limitless, the countdown for the war and the Sirens only began when the Savior entered the field. The speed of the events were unexpected even by Administration.]

"..."

Wasn't I incredibly fast back then? That is, if I could kill them all in fifteen minutes, I wouldn't be overwhelmed. Of course, this wave alone revealed the poor control structure of the Savior.

I had no idea what the {Fates} of all those people were, but they were passive from the start. Except for the assassins who managed to almost kill me, everyone seemed to be ill-informed.

"I guess I can't blame their leaders, since they had a briefing, but these poor morons didn't even bother to read the damn thing."

Arriving at the spot where I had stood before, I was faced with bodies scattered about. Most of them were either riddled with holes or missing large chunks of flesh. I could hear the shallow breathing of some of them.

And like any good reaper, I ended their misery. One of the assassins, however, who was missing half his body, spoke as he vomited blood.

"You're a nasty piece of work. How the hell are you Formless?"

"Don't worry, I will make sure to turn you into a soulgear and use you well."

"Hahaha, fucking hell. Are you a demon?"

"Not really. You just messed with the wrong guy," I replied nonchalantly.

"Can I ask you a favor? I'm dying anyway."

"No."

Not bothering to listen to his last regrets, I shot him in the forehead.

What good would it do to hear his last request? If I cared about the bastard, I should not have killed him in the first place.

This was what it meant to be in a war. There was no right or wrong. It was a matter of who was more desperate to live. I read the profiles of the Saviors. They were all, without exception, terrible people.

I wasted time trying to find one good person among them, but I couldn't find one. So I came with the intention of sparing no one from their side.

'Still The tactics of the first wave were clear and concise.'

Like a game of chess, this group had a goal. I could only guess that it was to show my cards or use up my ability.

They would have been ordered to turtle up and cast a large-scale spell. As I tried to stop them, an assassin unit would stab me in the back.

'They knew of my {Fate}. The whole wave was probably disposable in the grand strategy. All to get me to use {Rewind}.'

Aside from invisibility and {Barrier}, none of these people had any useful {Fates} or even the presence of a Phantom. All this reinforced my assumption.

With my {Rewind} in cooldown, this meant the next wave would be the real thing. Before I could finish my thought, five more skybeams fell.

"This is going to be a long ass day."
