Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Nyda. Why did you say it was dangerous to take warp gates to the 32nd floor? Tell me what you really think," I asked.

The woman bit her lip and made a frustrated face. Leo put his hand on her back and whispered.

"It's okay, cupcake. I don't think Limitless is one of them..."

I wasn't one of them? One of what? Administration? Graveyard? What other group could warrant such caution? Much like me, I felt my girls' links suddenly drown in vigilance.

Liv and Lilly moved noticeably closer to me, while Jas fixed her gaze on Nyda.

'My kindred, calm down. Let's hear them out first.'

I could not blame my harem for their unease. Even before we came here, my other girls brought up the possibility of Leo and Nyda being vampire spies or double agents. At the time I thought it was bullshit, but seeing the evidence here. I was more inclined to believe them.

"My Lord, please forgive me if this offends you, but the managers of the 31st and 32nd floors are traitors. I cannot prove it, but they are allied with the monsters. They deliberately worked to sabotage the battlefront's efforts. However, since their areas remain clean, at least on paper, no one believed me."

"..."

'Fuck... I was expecting it, but hearing it from someone else us just...'

It was not as common, but many dark manga and novels explored the possibility of some people betraying humanity.

Some out of greed, others out of compulsion.

'I can't really blame them, if one of my girls was captured and held hostage, I would follow their words without question until I saved my woman,' I explained inwardly.

'Dearest, do not worry, we know that you have such an inclination. That is why we created [Beacon]. The Sirens vow that such a situation would never come to pass.'

'Husband, somehow I wonder if the rest of the Reapers know this. While we are your strength, we are also your reverse scale. Wouldn't the enemy deliberately try to use us to get you on their side?'

'Such is the nature of our {Kindred}. Beloved, we know that you would choose us over humanity. But realistically, most would not make such a choice. Especially those in positions of power. Holding someone hostage while being cowardly is very effective for people like us.'

If you think about it, such tactics was even more potent for the Specters. If the right person was kidnapped, even killing that person would cause the Specter to forget his or her purpose.

I shook my head in annoyance. It seemed that there has been no shortage of problems for Reapers in general.

The moment Hellsend successfully adapted to the zombies, we now had to worry about these bastards who used tactics and cunning in addition to physical strength.

"So the reason you did not want to warp directly to the 32nd floor was because the defender was a traitor? Have you seen what they did in the past? When? Why didn't you report it?"

Nyda bowed her head without answering. The one who did was Leo.

"My Lord. To put it simply, the Managers call in adventurers and mercenaries under the guise of quests and missions. Once they arrive, they are given false information and left to die. Nyda and I have reason to believe that the last mission of Evelyn's group, the Nightdarts, failed for the same reason."

At his explanation, I felt Liv's link explode in anger.

"SUCH EVIL! HOW COULD SUCH VILE WHORESONS EXIST! THE WORLD FALLS AND THEY ACT LIKE THIS! BELOVED! WE MUST GO TO THE 32ND FLOOR IMMEDIATELY! THEY DESERVE TO DIE!"

Exa once shared the battle logs of the Sirens as they destroyed the Savior's reinforcements. Among those battles, one stood out to me.

It was one where Liv ambushed a Phantom in the Stratosphere. The Phantom's name was Hjalmar Arnar Einarsson, a northern reaper who had abandoned his country.

Living like a king due to his superior abilities, Hjalmar fought as a Reaper assassin. The video Lilly captured of Liv practically torturing Hjalmar and his men.

It showed how much hatred she had for traitors. Given the history of her mother and the fall of the North, it didn't take much to understand why.

I came closer to the angry 6'6" Northerner at my side and reached for her face. Her rage made her seem like a wild animal, she reacted to my approach with a snarl. But I was not afraid of her fury, I stroked her face tenderly, as I usually did.

"Liv."

I then sent all the blood lust I could muster towards her. The effect was immediate as she became confused by my excitement.

She immediately became quiet. Usually when people were angry, the thing they hated most was being told to calm down. I knew that, so I did the opposite.

"Liv."

Back to her normal self, Liv nuzzled my hand like a cat.

"Yes, love?"

"If we prove that they really are traitors," I began.

"..."

"None of them will survive."

Hearing my words, Liv smiled beautifully as she cradled my hand that was still on her cheek. As if it was her most precious possession, she kissed it lovingly. But only I knew how much fighting spirit flooded her heart.

It was like a tsunami of violence waiting to be unleashed. If Liv had not been able to punish the traitors of the North, now it was different. The opportunity to retaliate against the traitors of North America seemed to excite her.

"As you command, my king," she declared affectionately.

Hearing my words, Nyda and Leo panicked.

"My lord! We have tried, the defenders are close to people in Administration! Everything I have attempted to expose them has been censored. If we chose violence, we would be taking on the entirety of North America! And challenge a Revenant!"

"My lord, this is too reckless, you are powerful, but even you wouldn't take on a Revenant! We have been investigating them for five years! We are close to a case, if we are patient, we can prove that they are dirty..."

"I have done it before."

"Huh?" x2

"Challenged a Revenant. I mean. I have done it before. Why do you think David Thomas thinks so highly of me?"

"..."

Stunned by my words, it seems that the fact that I exchanged blows with David was something not many knew. Even D and Pixie only saw me blackmailing David into giving me the 24th floor.

Since these two were not part of my enlistment or Administration, it was understandable that they did not know my story.

"Leo, Nyda. Do you remember what I and my group represent?"

"Hellsend, my lord. The end of hell..." Nyda said worriedly.

"Correct. That means as long as this hinders my ability to kill the undead, it is my problem. Concentrate on saving Evelyn for now. What happens to the Defender and his domain will be my responsibility, not yours."

Leo then stepped forward and knelt.

"My Lord! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

I gave him a quick nod before turning to my {vassals}. Pixie was starry-eyed, while D had a smug smile on her face. I could practically read their minds. Ignoring their states, I spoke to them authoritatively.

"Pixie, D. This is your moment to shine. Find out what happened here. You have one hour. Use my souls for your {Fates} as liberally as you wish. I want the whole picture."

"YES, MY LORD!" x2

Perhaps elated that I was relying on them, they both summoned their {Fates}.

"{COMPASS}!" "{ADVENT}!"

And so my {Vassals} finally got their first chance at the spotlight. Hopefully, after an hour, I would know what had happened to this hellhole. I then faced the rest of my party and gave a single command.

"I want everything that moves dead within 10 minutes."

"YES, MY LORD!" x5
