Limitless The Strongest Revenant

It was too bad I couldn't rewind the mines back into place. Otherwise, it would be an excellent way to defend a location.

I guess I should be grateful that {Rewind} didn't uproot my mines to my inventory.

Before I redesigned my {Kismet} {Auto} was pretty straightforward. Anything I considered part of my equipment was recorded and returned to me when I used {Rewind}.

However, this prevented me from using non-direct weapons like mines. For example, if I spent time digging and planting them in the ground, it would be a waste of time and effort to have them negated by {Rewind}.

Fortunately, {Armory} worked on a different principle. Every weapon recorded was either in use or discarded. If a weapon was in use, it would not return to my subspace when I let go of it.

This feature was created when I wanted to avoid having to discard weapons during combat. While I was doing that when fighting with the {Kismet} class, I didn't like it.

Back then if I didn't use a {Rewind}.

My weapons would have stayed out of my hands. But with {Armory}, everything I no longer held was considered discarded. my weapons now had a defined state.

This small difference allowed me to keep swapping weapons with no penalty. If I discarded the weapon, it would reload and return to my subspace even without rewinding.

Fortunately, this feature of {Armory}, much like the skill download for {Limitless}, had unintended benefits.

For one, since my soul avatars were me in every way, if I gave them a weapon, that weapon was considered to be in use. The same was true for mines.

Since they were in use when they were deployed, they would only return to my subspace if I wanted them to. This prevented my {Rewinds} from suddenly disarming my other avatars or the minefields I had set up.

Because ammunition was replenished on each {Rewind} or {Reload}, my soul avatars would not run out of bullets. This was true even if the weapons did not return to me.

I hauled ass as I retreated from the landing zone. While I could blast them as they came in, fifty people would quickly overwhelm me if I wasn't careful.

Theoretically, I could just use {Replace} and overwhelm the 2nd wave.

However, that would only be half of the entire Savior Army. There were 200 in total, including 30 Phantoms, none of whom had shown up yet. The strategy of the first wave showed the presence of a tactician.

If I blew all my cards at the beginning, I would have nothing to use against the really dangerous bastards.

'Tsk. This is why bastards with brains are more troublesome than a whole wave of morons. It was easy to massacre idiots, but even sheep can be a problem when led by a lion.'

After getting some distance, I turned back to the landing zone and asked my AI.

[Exa, who among the Saviors has the aptitude to be a tactician?]

[There are only two, the Slayer and the Machiavelli].

[Ugh, why is it always them?] I groaned inwardly. Suddenly, Exa shouted in a panic.

[LIMITLESS! I WILL DULL YOUR SENSES! CLOSE YOUR EYES!]

I knew Aira was working for Zach, but Exa had yet to give me a reason to doubt her. So I complied and closed the eyes of all seven of my avatars. Suddenly I felt my ears go deaf. Was it Exa's doing?

In the next moment, I felt a wave of pressure suddenly erupt. Although my eyes were closed, a bright white burned through my eyelids. My skin tingled as what seemed to be an explosion shook the air.

The rest of the avatars heard a dull boom. A tinnitus-like sound assaulted everyone's ears.

'What the hell? Wasn't that a flash bang?' I wondered as I covered my face with my arms.

While I had Sunday ready to turn and run at a moment's notice, I switched to Saturday. From my position on top of the tower, I could see the new wave coming in.

As soon as it hit the ground, a ten-man squad ran forward.

"Squad 6! MOVE! He should still be disoriented, surround and contain him!"

I moved the scope of the BLR 81 and found a Reaper shouting orders like his life depended on it.

"I have confirmation that the vanguard has completed its task. His {Rewind} is gone! We must kill him in the next 20 minutes! Squad 7-8 shoot for the kill! 9 and 10! Secure the landing zone!"

'I see, they also knew how critical the landing zone was. Similar to how they would be forced there, the Sirens would also have to arrive through the same point.'

"Should I shoot that bastard now? I don't think they noticed Wednesday and Saturday, otherwise they wouldn't concentrate on Sunday like idiots...".

The advantages of quickly killing the commander were good. However, unlike my original body, none of the soul avatars could use my {Fates}. This meant that once I was exposed, I wouldn't be able to use them like this.

Since there were still over a hundred enemies, it would be wasteful to expose my hand at this point. Taking a deep breath, I shifted back to Sunday.

[Limitless, your senses have been restored. A Phantom has been detected].

"Who?"

[The one Saturday saw earlier. The one giving the orders. Logan Hart, records indicate his {Fate} is called {Spare Organ}, giving him immense survivability.]

"Fuck, let me guess, any organ that gets destroyed regenerates?"

[Yes. According to the records, his limbs regrow within seconds even if they are dismembered. His head and heart are also part of his ability.]

A quick check with Saturday revealed that Squad 9 and 10 were combing the ground for trip wires, they had what appeared to be flashlights as they tried to find more land mines.

They definitely know how I killed the previous group. Otherwise they would not be searching like this.

With my hearing restored, the sounds of footsteps circling around Sunday echoed. I still had my eyes closed and had yet to react to their approach. Using my avatars, I could see from a distance that Squad 6 had shields and hatchets.

While the shields did not glow, the small axes did. That meant they were manifested {Fates}. I had no idea what these {Fates} do. But ten of them had surrounded me and were slowly closing in.

[Exa, what are those axes?]

[They are called {Cast Net}. It is a CMS {Fate} that focuses on capture].

[Hmm. Class C support, huh. Okay.]

'{Imaging} - X-Ray'

I cast my {Fate} even with my eyes closed. Even in the darkness, I could see that Squad 6 was not attacking me, just keeping their shields up.

'Squad 7 and 8 should be ready to fire by now, right? Let's not wait.'

I twisted my body and aimed at the foot of the man closest to me.

"AHHH!"

Surprised by my sudden movements, the others all raised their axes.

Not planning to let them catch me, I opened my eyes as I did a barrel roll towards the one I had just shot.

"{CAST NET}!" x 9

The poor idiot who fell on his ass tried to hack me with an axe on his right hand.

"[Tank]."

At that moment, I called Liv's {Fate} and blocked his axe with my right forearm. Before shooting him in the face with Ebony. My ears picked up large objects quickly approaching me.

"[Load]."

Dropping my weapons, I quickly grabbed the neck of the man I had just killed and tossed him behind me. I heard the loud thud of something heavy digging into flesh. Taking that as my cue to leave, I made a mad dash for Friday.

I could fight them here, but it would be a waste. I had traps and five other Soul Avatars who were dying to shoot these motherfuckers. I deliberately slowed down to pretend to be tired.

"HE'S IN FIGHTER! HE MAY BE TOUGH, BUT HE IS SLOW! GET HIM!"
