Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Odachis were the giant versions of the famous katanas. If katanas were meant to slash people, odachis were meant to slash horses and their riders.

They were the Japanese counterparts to great swords and Zweihanders.

The lizardkin who had been looking for their attacker earlier jumped at the chance to tear my Asian {Kindred} apart! Over thirty of them ran toward them in rage.

'I know that I am quite weak compared to the other Sirens, Anata. But even though I am unfit to be your woman, you care for me and drown me in happiness.'

"[Assassin]. {Carve}, {Butcher}."

After invoking {Fates} Aki extended her left hand in front of her, raised it, and brought it down. In the next moment, the twelve gigantic blood swords behind her raced forward.

She then ran alongside them while raising her rifle. All the while, Aki's {Kindred} link grew hotter, as if it was on fire. Emotions of determination, regret, and fighting spirit flowed to me.

"{Carnival of the Damned}. [Penetrator]."

'But that ends today. Allow me to show you my resolve, Anata. This battle. I offer to you.'

Kamisan fired her weapon, releasing bullets that glowed violet, the rounds blowing apart the jaw of a lizardkin in front of her. The blood odachis all flew sideways, slashing at the monsters.

Like the blades of a fan, whatever was left after one blood odachi passed by was cut off by the next. And since there were twelve of them, the ten-foot monsters were sliced into thin strips like bacon.

But after one pass, the swords circled around Aki again. The blood from the ground rose to form two more odachis. Who immediately joined the melee.

Aki, on the other hand, did not stop and continued to shoot down monster after monster as she ran towards more enemies.

The blood odachis followed her, shredding those around her like confetti. The demonic weapons looked like pets trying desperately to catch up to their master.

The swinging arcs of Aki's pets were fixed. Like a hula hoop of swords, Aki charged into groups of reptiles to maximize the number of enemies she could annihilate.

Of course, in such a brutal melee, she was stabbed with halberds. But her blood armor fended them all off. Combined with Kamisan's fighting skills, she was able to fight at close range while she never stopped moving.

Each Lizardkin Aki shot down created a new blood odachi. The blood weapons grew in number as they sliced and diced everything around my Kamisan like a whirlwind of steel.

[My lord, command Lady Aki to stop immediately!] Exa shouted in panic!

'Huh? Why? What is going on?'

[{Blood Feast} consumes stamina instead of soul. {Carnival of the Damned} increases the stamina required the longer it is active. Lady Aki uses her own {Fate} {Butcher} to draw stamina from those she kills. This allows her to use it with such devastating efficiency. But it also puts a tremendous strain on her body! If she continues, her life will be in danger!]

But before I could say anything, Aki suddenly stopped fighting and looked at the drone I was using.

'Shujin, I know my limits, don't worry. I refuse to leave your side forever. I love you too much to make such a mistake. '

Aki took off the fox mask to show her face covered with black veins. The beauty of the Japanese Reaper was long gone as the skin on her face turned gray like ash.

Her eyes were bloodshot while her lips looked like those of a corpse. Yet she looked in my direction lovingly and smiled. "Rewind," she called solemnly.

The woman disappeared from my view and reappeared all the way back to where she started. The only difference was that the over 50 Rank Ds were in pieces, along with the sea of purple blood that soaked the battlefield.

As I watched my lover pull out some onigiri and eat it, I felt conflicted. My instinct was to protect my women.

But at the same time, this battle showed me the negative effects of my actions.

Aki had always been a strong fighter. But unbeknownst to me, she was already disappointed in herself because of my excessive concern. It was true that I was worried about her, but not because she was weak.

'I am a fucking toxic partner. This is my fault'

Despite my intentions, my actions made my spouse even more desperate for power. I couldn't even reprimand her. Even though it hurt me to see her torture herself like this, I was the cause.

Maybe that was why the girls were all trying so hard. They all wanted my recognition. My inability to trust their determination backfired.

Thus, in order to gain power quickly, the girls all trained and used whatever they could. Despite the danger to themselves. All for my victory.

All so I would rely on them more.

I unintentionally trampled on the good will of my harem. All for my own selfishness. This wouldn't be enough. I must change not for myself, but for the women I love most.

'Well done, Kamisan. You were so beautiful that I fell in love all over again. Do not use it often, okay? Let us reserve it as your trump card.'

'Yes, Anata. I will follow your words. Thank you for your praise,' she said with a breathtakingly gorgeous smile.

Joy and satisfaction flooded Aki's link, all because of my approval. It was shameful in a way. I was an overprotective parent in the worst possible way.

'Though, my first attempt at change seems to be a success,' I noted.

Instead of saying it was because I wanted her to be safe, it was better to say that she should avoid using this technique for confidentiality reasons. As a result, Aki was overjoyed.

After our conversation, Aki once again rushed to another side of the battle, using her more conservative tactics from earlier.

Determined not to repeat the same mistake, I searched the battlefield for the last two Sirens.

I found Jas not with the group, but in the air. She was hovering with [Wizard], firing .50 caliber Raufoss exploding rounds at the entire battlefield.

She was at such a distance that the enemies could not even return fire.

'This would work for now, but when the enemy gets bigger flyers like dragons or some shit, we will need anti-air,' I thought.

Loud reverberations echoed through the sky if you listened. Each time Jas fired, something died as if struck by metallic lightning.

Like a guardian angel from heaven, Jas covered all the Sirens. I watched her with a drone and belatedly realized she was supporting the entire battlefield.

Robyn, Jo and Aki didn't have to worry about attacks from blind spots. While Lilly, Bella and Liv received fire support when they were about to be overwhelmed. Despite all of them being scattered.

And with the already monstrous performance of the M107 combined with the mythical shooting skills of the Ebony Deathstalker... Well, it was a massacre of course.

What I could not understand was how Jas knew who to support. Unlike Bella and me, she was not able to see the entire battlefield with drones. She did it all with her eyes and {Perceive}.

'Wifey, are you alright? Should I try to join you to cover the others?'

'Husband, I adore you for your loving nature. But I am fine. My new soulgear is doing all the work for me.'

"Oh? It allows you to track the battlefield to that extent? That is so fucking amazing!'

"Haha, Husband, you are so adorable at times. Yes, it can. However, I find it even more amazing that you were able to kill someone who had this in the first place.'

'Eh. I just got lucky, Wifey.'

The M107 Barret breathed fire again as it sent another round at an enemy. Then she changed the direction of her weapon, aiming east.

'Then I should say I was lucky too. Lucky to have met you, to have been saved and to have fallen in love with you,' She added warmly.

Our conversation was suddenly interrupted as Exa dropped the biggest bomb of the evening.

[My lords and ladies, the Alpha has begun to move. It has been detected in zone 1246-5 and is now on a direct path to Lady Bella. Please prepare for its arrival.]

"Well, fuck..."
