Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter POV: Lilly Browning Smith

"BROOOOOOOOAARR!"

Amidst the sounds of thundering hooves, raging thunder and golden light we moved. We were currently risking our lives to make it towards the Hellsgate Corridor. This was while hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of enemies sought to take our lives.

For some reason, after my Dearest met with the being known as the Vampire Duke, all hell broke loose. We saw the Vampire army suddenly come from every hole in the ground and converge on this floor! It comprised of Rank F Zombies, Rank E Ghouls, Rank C Stone Borne, Rank C Vampires and Rank B Noble Vampires!

My sisters and I knew the power of such a force. This group in particular was a strong as a floor break! If they were able to reach the surface, without my father's intervention, the entire battlefront itself may be overrun!

A single Vampire alone was about three times as powerful than the average Descendant. That already made them extremely difficult to defeat. If you added the fact that they were nearly immortal they were terrifying enemies. And there were thousands of them!

This was why the floors in the thirties and forties where Vampires were common, rarely had low level Phantoms at level 4. It was hubris and sheer insanity to dive that deep if one hadn't at least reached level 5.

Much like the Ghouls, you needed to have Manifested weaponry at least on the rank of a mid-level Phantom. Anything less than that, and it was impossible to kill them. Even the ones that bought Blessings for their sub weapons could not fight such beings in large numbers.

If it was literally anyone else in our position, even standing up to these monsters was certain death. However, the combination of {Reload}, Sacreds and guns allowed us to defeat them in a manner never seen before.

The blessings which normally were buffs that dulled with time, were concentrated in expendables. And because the only lasted for a single moment, their power was magnified on an unprecedented scale.

This allowed them to easily take down not only Ghouls but even Vampires. However, even with a thousand Sacreds, our enemies were beyond number. It was like trying to shoot down the ocean itself! A few guns no matter how powerful were not enough to win a battle on such a massive scale.

Numbers had always played a crucial factor in invasion and war. And against millions even the Sacreds would not be enough. We would only get surrounded, overwhelmed and killed. That would have been the case, if all we had were Reapers.

Along with our superior weapons were the presence of the Awakened. Monsters that not only were capable of rational thought but had chosen to ally themselves to our cause. Without Juno and the Lizardkin Dragons we would have been overrun due the colossal difference in numbers.

"AHHHHHHH!!!! IN THE NAME OF LIMITLESSS!"

Liv's roars were as loud as the Awakened. Right now, all the Lizardkin Dragons were charging in simple arrow formation. Moving as a single organism, the Awakened trampled on anything that tried to stop them.

As the normal Lizardkin could not keep up, Liv fashioned large carts using {Shelter}. The Champion then dragged them like carriages at frightening speeds. If they tried to fight while we moved at this pace, they would be simply left behind. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

The problem with having such large beasts as allies was they covered a large amount of ground should they run. That demerit was negligible when you consider that each Lizardkin Dragon was like a force of nature.

They had the power to bulldoze even a hundred thousand zombies with little effort. Ghouls for all their immortality were just a brittle in front of these massive behemoths. Unless a Vampire or a Noble Vampire restrained them, they were like freight trains.

The very air was saturated with soul, hundreds of thousands of Zombies and Ghouls were trampled underfoot. While the latter would rise back up the former would not. However, despite such riches for the taking, none of us could take advantage of them. Not when our group was under assault for every possible direction.

Liv was with Juno as our vanguard. In her [Asura] form, the vampires that charged at her were blessed to the afterlife without much fuss. Jas, on the other hand was using [Guardian Angel] to protect the Lizardkin Dragons at the forefront. Along with her mythical sniping, none could pose a threat.

Delroy and Pixie were on medic duty if a Vampire managed to get inside our formation. Meanwhile Nyda and Leo used {Thunder Form}, to keep off the Ghouls from climbing up the Champion Ranks.

"My lord be really crazy! Who else would think about using them worms as help?"

"D! Less talking more shooting! The Vampires are diving!"

"Ya worry too much, Pix! We only need to wait for the…"

A sudden large blast of light vaporized the coming Vampires like an eraser. Despite it being Hellsgate where there was neither Sun, Moon nor stars our path was quite dazzling.

"See? We got the Guardian Sniper! HAHA!"

At that moment three swarms of black clouds began to flow towards the Lizardkin like water. Only for flashes of lightning to race towards them and char them into nothingness.

{Still, I find it amazing we are actually able to progress at all! It seems Lady Satis really has caused the Vampires to be wary!} Nyda chirped.

Despite barely having the form of a human, two gems floated in the flying mass of electricity that electrocuted anything in its path. As if to show us that she still had a face, her immaterial form still had eyebrows and looked like a typical water elemental from fiction.

Her husband who had a similar appearance, ran circles along the skies around the Lizardkin Dragons. {Keep your guard up everyone, the battle will only get tougher!}

[HAHAHA! ONWARD MY SISTERS! LET'S SHOW THESE FUCKERS THE MIGHT OF OUR BLADES!]

Even Juno was elated at our advance. While the rest of my allies were trying their best to fulfill their tasks, I had a different focus. Theirs was to ensure we made our way towards our destination in one piece, mine was what came afterwards.

A sharp and loud crash filled the air. It was a sound reminiscent of glass breaking. Again, and again the same echo repeated fruitlessly. My {Portals}, which had been our lifeline and the greatest of my {Fates} kept shattering.

'Tsk. It's impossible, nothing is working!!'

Fight towards the corridor. Draw the Rank A Tunneling Worms from the Corridor and use the {Portals} to send them into the 32nd Floor. I will be bait. Send as many of the worms as you can. My {Kindred} I entrust my hope to you.

Under the insane conditions my group was forced to fight under, my Dearest gave an order. Rather than try to fight this enemy with our own strength, we would instead summon another.

It was truly a plan none other than him would even think. Just a few hours ago, we almost died to one. And rather than cower in the might of such a monster, my Dearest sought to turn them into our allies.

"Truly one of a kind," I murmured with a smile.

At his words, the fear my sisters and I felt vanished. Jas, Liv and I could already be considered veteran warriors. Liv in particular knew how horrible fighting Vampires was. Yet all of us agreed, rather than slowly get cornered and die, our {Kindred's} plan gave us the greatest hope.

[NeverEnoughCows: HAHAHA! Beloved is truly mad! Only he could devise such a plan! Sisters! I agree with Beloved, if we managed to do this the Tunneling Worms would do the rest!]

[OneWomandOrchestra: I agree, there is no future in trying to fight with what we have against such numbers. We should focus on breaking through towards the corridor. Speed would be the key! However, how can we get the Tunneling Worms, into the floor?]

[NeverEnoughCows: I have never seen them enter the floors themselves. They normally only attack the ones who grab their attention. This of course happens only inside the corridor. There has been no other precedent.]

Naturally as the owner of the {Store} family, the Dearest's trust and reliance on {Portal} made me very happy. But my {fates} for all their utility had way too many constraints. In fact, it was only because of my Dearest's admiration that I grew confident in using it.

{Store}, {Retrieve}, {Stock} and {Withdraw} only brought objects in and out of my subspace storage. This while powerful to a certain degree, had the severe limitation on the objects I could bring. Basically, anything that was "alive" could not enter my storage.
