Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 777: Much to learn [2/2]



"DAMM NIGGA! YOU'RE FUCKING INSANE! My {fate} told me what you were up to, but I didn't think you would actually do it!"

"HEFE! WHAT THE FUCK? You make gringos on crack look normal! You just threw our plans out the window!"

"Quiet you two, get your squads into position! Mortar Squads, I want visibility NOW! Santi, Boo your up! Hurry! Hi Patron! Please leave the small fry to us!

We will form a battle line ASAP!"

"Got it boo. {Predict}!"

"ORANGE SQUAD! TIME FOR A BARBECUE! HAUL ASS!"

I turned around to the familiar voices of Warren Bryant, Santiago Gonzales and Claire Bryant. They dismounted the M1151 or souped-up Humvees and the M1078 trucks with familiarity. As more and more of them arrived, my Reapers began shooting at any enemy that came close.

Alongside the Reaper grunts were teams of large burly men who began setting up the M252 mortars. With speed and familiarity, they deftly assembled and immediately began firing mortars shells. As their rounds flew, a bunch of them exploded in the skies creating manmade stars the illuminated the night sky.

Seeing as my guns would hardly contribute now that bigger guns were present, I canceled {Day by Day} and began to observe the situation instead. I didn't issue any commands by my guys were working like a well oiled machine. While such dynamics suited me just fine, I couldn't help but grow curious.

Santiago moved to the forefront of our battle line with several men. They were all armed with M9-7 flamethrowers for some reason. "Alright Gringos! The tiny bastards are here, light them up! {WILDFIRE}!"

His squad then began to torch the area in front of them. Using Napalm and nitrogen their weapons created large billowing waves of fire that did not seem out of place in hell. I was about to ask what they were doing when I suddenly hear the chattering of over a thousand insects as they cried out from within the flames.

"What the hell?"

[My lord, some of the South American reapers uses micro-sized Champions to infect Reapers with poisons, mental conditions and mind control. As the insects attack in tandem with large Champions, they often go unnoticed, they were used to great effect during the four-day siege.]

"Yeah, I can see how they would be able to sneak their way in. If you do not focus your senses on them, you wouldn't know they were scurrying on the ground."

[Indeed, the bugs, along with the shadows were one of the hardest things to overcome during the four-day defense, Lady Robyn and Jo actually lost to them. While Lady Aki was barely able to beat back the shadows.]

"Huh? Hold up, Aki aside, the girls lost? How?"

[Yes, Lady Jo was poisoned to death when she underestimated them. It was when she fought in the front lines during the first day. Lady Robyn on the other hand was mind controlled by mental illusions and almost single handedly destroyed our defenses during the 3rd day.]

Hearing what my girls had to endure may me hate these fucking bugs with a passion. Here I was commenting on South America's insanely archaic combat practices only to find that in exchange they developed their own malicious ways to do battle.

"I still have much to learn. What happened afterwards?"

[My lord, due to being taken surprised by the insidious ways the bugs were used, Lady Jo, Aki and Robyn hunted them repeatedly learning all they could, it was fortune that {Recursion} was active otherwise they wouldn't have been able to map the abilities of these Champions extensively.]

"Huh? {Recursion}?"

I remember using that {Fate} a total of two times. The first time was during our battle with Andromalius which gave great results. The 2nd was with Roach. The Awakened rendered my {Fate} completely useless as he could still kill us even after I invoked it.

I remember trying to use it help my girls but couldn't. Exa's words then were that it was unavailable.

[No, my lord, you cannot. {Recursion} is currently unusable as it was invoked during Operation Scissor. Even if that was not the case, you are too far. You would need to go to them fighting what would an army beyond number.]

"How did my {Recursion} help them? I wasn't even present."

[Unlike your other {Fates} my lord {Recursion} is not an active skill but a channeled one. Meaning unless you turn it off or the clause is fulfilled it would remain active.]

"Huh? Then you mean the girls were in {Recursion} this entire time?"

[Yes. The command locking them in place "FUCK THEM UP" remains unfulfilled. "Them" in this case being all the Lizardkin present during the battle with the Lizardkin Alpha.]

"Wait! Are you telling me it's because Roach didn't die?"

[Yes, in actuality, both the Hammer team and Anvil teams benefited from {Recursion} in their respective battles. I belatedly noticed that fact when [Autoload] never triggered for any of them. All the Sirens praised your foresight for this matter as it gave them a large margin of safety.]

"…"

I couldn't very well confess that I didn't even know I had it turned on. But I should try to learn how to use {Recursion} in the future. As my currently strongest {Fate} I had yet to train with it because I grew scared at the torture {Rewind} did to me.

While {Recursion} wasn't of any use during the battle with Roach, it seemed to have saved my harem afterwards. {Recursion}'s current condition, which was to have Roach die, created a loophole for my {Fate} maybe I could recreate this in the future.

Being misunderstood by the girls was not really important. What was important was that if Santi and his squad didn't come to burn the insects, I might have died to the little malicious fucks the South American Reapers have sent.

"SHADOWS! THREE OF THEM! NIGGA SQUAD, EXA HAS THEM MARKED! SMOKE THEM!"

Warren's loud shout woke me up from my contemplation. Supposedly my Kamisan had a hard time keeping these "Shadows" at bay. I followed Exa's marking to see what looked like black sharks and dolphins "Swimming" on the ground. Following their path of movement, I noticed they were jumping from shadow to shadow.

The flares my mortar teams launched made their ability to hide almost none existent. As they were unable to take cover, they were shot up by 6.8 Fury rounds till they stopped moving.

'Fuck, I can't even imagine how Aki was able to stop these shits! If it was dark as hell these bastards would have massacred my Reapers without them having a chance to fight back. It probably was only because of the lights in the sky that their movement was restricted.'

As more and more of the Hellsend Reapers began to join the battle line around me. The overwhelming fire power increased in intensity. Our Main battle tanks used their superior range to snipe the larger and slower Champions.

While the first waves were easily torn apart, the heavier and tankier summons began to arrive. Not that it mattered as Alfonso used his units to pin them in place while the Howitzers pounded them to death. My infantry then slowly moved forward to defend my tanks from smaller champions. All while under a curtain of fire walls on the ground and flares in the skies.

Meanwhile, I noticed that aside from the helicopters none of my forces tried to approach the Specters. They all were prioritizing the small fry and acted as a breakwall isolating Carlos and Herman from the rest of the South American army.

I then sensed Joshua coming from behind me. When I turned around I saw the Asian along with his wife. He had an M1011A1 in his hands. Angela who was beside him was armed with an XM250 light machine gun.

"My lord, we will stop the rest of the South American army from interfering. As instructed by Lady Bella, only the Soulless will engage the Inca Warrior to reduce losses to his energy nova."

"White boy, Nose-jaeng go boom! Sushi Siren died many times!"

Ignoring the racist chink, I nodded to Joshua and walked towards Herman and Carlos. In a battle of armies, mine has already proven itself superior to theirs. Although they used tactics unique only to summoners, my army mercilessly countered every gimmick they threw at us.

Originally, I was going to fight the Specters using even dastardly means. But right now, if I did so it was hardly a battle. It seems that my current army was so effective it could allow them to fight beyond ranks given enough hardware. If I wanted some experience, I had to fight alone.

"Alright. Thanks, you two. Annihilate every Reaper then stand down. The Specters are mine"
