Limitless The Strongest Revenant

'Exa. Keep an eye on Bifrons for me.'

[Yes, my lord.]

Screams from an unimaginable number of sources echoed all at once. It was so chaotic my ears began to hear buzzing. The sounds of Ghouls, Zombies and Feral Vampires flinging themselves onto the Rank As.

Somehow unlike the other monsters every being on this floor knew that they had to either put down the Rank A Tunneling Worms or die to them. And like ugly as fuck spaghetti strands trying to be dolphins, the Rank As moved.

Each time they dived the flooring caved. Deep crevasses appeared while plunged the Vampire army to the pits of darkness. Problem was we were already in hell. Where would these fuckers go?

The Tunneling worms reminded me of wiggling maggots on a corpse. They feasted on the land itself. Nothing the other monsters or undead did mattered. Compared to the Rank A's they might as well be ticks on the ground.

I saw over a hundred Rank As decimate the large army. Earlier they were like a sea of shadows. Like hairs on a scalp, they were beyond number and raced through the darkness. But now they were like grass being mowed.

Each time the ground quaked, thousands died. The ones that didn't were swallowed up in the massive maws of the Tunneling Worms. It was in this chaos that the Nobles Vampires tried to flee.

Terrified of being shot by me, they scattered. Only for most of them to be eaten without mercy. The ones that could evade were like ships trying to navigate a minefield. But despite their speed or agility they were torn apart all the same.

'Would they really die though? Couldn't they just fly out of the Rank As or wait to get crapped out?'

Before the Tunneling Worms arrived, there countless white bodies on the floor, while black, red-eyed bats ruled the sky. This persisted no matter how many I took out by detonating Castle De Arno or invoking {Soul breaker}.

But now, for the first time, I could see gaps in the battlefield. With the ground chewed up like a rag full of holes, the Ghouls arriving finally began to cease. Unlike before the skies were not as congested.

When the bats or Nobles in the air clustered, a Tunneling worm leapt up and ate them. Through the collective effort of these cataclysmic beings, even the infinite army began to die out. It got so bad that the ones who only arrived similarly got swallowed up immediately.

Still, even in this tumultuous event, I needed to reduce this army as much as possible. I raised the M107 and the FT5 and began sniping all the Rank B Nobles I had in range.

'Exa, give me a count. How many are there for each side, where are the girls? Why can't I feel their links?'

[The ladies are still in the Hellsgate Corridor my lord. They closed their links to not allow their situation to affect your battle. Lady Liv has Ascended to a high-level Phantom or Level 6. Lady Lilly on the other hand has ascended to a Specter.]

"W-What?"

Lilly ascended to a Specter. That statement made my brain freeze. Humans needed to die in order to become Wraiths. Wraiths needed to give up their humanity to become Phantoms. Phantoms were forced to forget their memories of the dead in order to become Specters.

The Untamed, the former princess of North America was already a Phantom when I met her. She was stuck for years as a low-level Phantom because of her trauma. When she learned of the cost to move forward, like the rest of us she hesitated.

Lilly's mother, Gladys Adams was a maid who died waiting for David. Much of Lilly's drive and hunger for excellence was so that she would not become like her mother. And the Brownings who adopted her used this fact well.

When she moved up Level 5, I was sure she already began to forget some of her memories. Similar to her, I also hesitated to ascend. Doing so would cause me to forget my dad for one. I'm sure many of the humans I knew or met in my childhood already left vanished my memories forever. I just never gave a shit.

A bitter feeling rose up from my stomach. All of my girls had departed loved ones. And each time they grew stronger, they would forget more and more of these people. But we could not stop. We would get killed if we did.

I always wondered, what I would become once I forget about Frank Smith? How would that work? Many of my memories with Noel were related to him. Would even those memories disappear too? Didn't that also mean that even the ones we killed would also be forgotten?

Now that I thought about it. My journey as a Reaper had bodies upon bodies stacked on it. Red, the reapers of Savior, Gaspar, they were the proof of the path I took. Yet much like the ones who died of natural causes I would forget them too.

[My lord, this is why they decided to not tell you. They knew you would act like this. They told me to give you a message. "We know the cost, and we gladly pay it for our future."]

"For our future, huh?"

No wonder hundreds of these Rank As were sent here. This could never be done with just {Portal}. Lilly must have gained a new Specter level {Fate}. And much like the difference between Wraiths and Phantom's its power must have been out of this world.

As I wondered I was able to snipe over fifteen Nobles dead. It was only after that did Exa finally called my attention.

[My lord, Duke De Arno has finished regenerating.]

I lowered my weapons and stared at the Noble Vampire who had and Arch demon in his body. Unlike a Reaper, they did not regenerate with black smoke. Instead, they had blobs of flesh disgustingly pour out of their injuries like clay.

It kind of reminded me of how Ghouls healed themselves. Even when you liquefied their bodies, they were able to reform once again. They were truly almost immortal save for when they were blessed.

Originally, I just intended to shoot Sacreds at this fucker till he died. But that wouldn't work based on what he shared.

"Haha your face seems to be surprised that he can come back! Listen here worm. The Arch demons are not immortal that we do not age. We are the ones who are truly immortal. We cannot be killed! The most that happens is we go to sleep!"

While he could be lying, from how arrogant he was, the probability of that was extremely low. Funnily enough when your opponent treated you like dirt, they usually wouldn't go out of their way to hide the truth.

Whether it be because he was pretending or lying outright both needed his ego to give me some kind of value. For example, there was no reason to lie to a dog, this was because the was no benefit in doing so. And this bastard saw me as a pet. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

"Gulp. Ah! Exquisite, such a deep flavor. Hmm… The one without end told me to be careful. I abandoned Gaspar when I saw this worm using blessings in large numbers. And she also said we needed to use all our power to kill him."

Unfortunately, this bastard had the ability of jumping between bodies. This meant that right now he was in Stefan, should he be killed, he would just switch hosts. He was like a fucking parasite.

And as I knew from Anime and Manga how annoying parasite were, I had to be careful. I had to know how he did it, so I could lock down his ways of escape. But as I remembered the words of the Astrologer earlier, I opted to use another weapon.

A weapon that theoretically could kill Bifrons. That was partly why, I allowed them to feast on my blood earlier. And why I tried to get them to invoke {Call my Name}.

'Exa, has Stefan invoked {Call my Name} yet?'

[No, my lord, he has not.]

'Guess, I need to push harder.'

When Stefan was back to full health, he had an angry expression. His clenched his teeth as he grunted his next words. The feeling I got from him was still dangerous so I believed it should be still Bifrons.

"You insect! You shot me but let me heal. Are you stupid or something?" he inquired in confusion.
