Limitless The Strongest Revenant

It was something that anyone who played games or read manga knew. Experience brings strength. In any RPG, the number of enemies ones defeat directly contribute to how powerful one becomes.

And an intentional mechanic most old school games had was that Exp was finite. This meant that should you pull all your experience on the same characters; others would be neglected.

This trend shifted when they introduced random encounters, but the main thing remained the same. Liv wanted to protect me. In order to do that she had to be as strong or stronger.

As someone who always wished for the same strength, I couldn't allow her to leave me behind. This turned us into rivals. We would level as hard as we can all so we had the strength to protect the other.

I initially wanted to keep them in a glass cage, but the realization that they would remain weak stopped me. Liv had the same inclination but hers was more selfish. She wanted me to rely on her to carry me forward. That was fine but it would lead its own problems.

Funnily enough what confirmed this thinking was yet again anime and manga. Through the years there were hundreds of novels that introduced a new concept. The kicked out of the party genre. You have an MC who did all the labor only to be kicked out.

The nuances differed but the core elements remained the same. The MC who supported the entire party on his back would meet success once he starts over. In contrast his former party would learn how weak they have become because they dependent so much on him.

I depended on my girls a lot. I loved them since they tried to help me. But at the same time, when they complete the work for me, they gain the experience. They grew stronger. But as a result, the strength I could have potentially gained naturally I failed to develop.

It was one of the things I noticed. Compared to when I fought alone, with Hellsend and the Sirens I could do more, that was true. But the desperation and battle's I experienced changed. If initially it was due to die, I felt my battles suddenly turned easy.

Having the Sirens and {Limitless} grow made us extremely strong. But as a result, my thinking did not change. I knew i made a mistake when I got beat up by George Clay. Despite using everything at my disposal I lost.

Exa and I created the [Combat Shadow Silhouette] to compensate but it was not enough. Fighting Bifrons and the Vampires, I relied on the power of the Sacreds and {Soul Breaker}. I do get stronger, but despite what others said, to me it was not fast enough.

To fight demons, specters and eventually Revenants. To accomplish my goal of joining the assault teams to close Hellsgate. I had to grow stronger. I needed to regain the hunger I lost after I got married. So, I cannot in good conscience give Liv what she wants.

I knew it would not be easy. I knew it will hurt. I would probably bleed, suffer and die a thousand times. But I didn't care. For the future that I sought, I was willing.

"Liv, I am sorry. But I cannot give you what you want. You are my shield. But I also must be strong enough to be worthy of you. For that reasons I will hurt myself as many times as necessary. Please just accept my apologies later."

"Sigh. So even knowing that protecting you is both my desire and purpose, you chose to deny me? What about all the times you told me that I am worth more than the world to you, Beloved?"

I invoked {Armory} and recreated the M32 and my Tomahawk shield, "It is because I love you that I cannot grant your request. Didn't you girls also tell me the same? That no matter what I say you refuse to abandon me? This is the same."

Liv then looked up to the dimly light skies as she whispered.

"Mother, are you watching? I have found the only man who cherishes me and adores me for my beauty. Yet to protect me, he is willingly to leave me behind. Must I repeat Freyja's mistake? Are we really bound to such a fate?"

As Liv contemplated, the rest of my Avatars got into position. Wednesday who had [Sky Sentinel] was already overhead. He two M107 Barret's aimed around Liv's extra arms. Specifically, the ones on her right shoulder holding her M32. [Maestro] was helping him aim.

Friday in [Ninja] sneakily took a spot just behind the Valkyrie armed with the AR10 Sentinel. His target? Liv's first extra left arm. Our sniper Thursday already had the other one in his sights. The two of them were tasked to take out the 1887 shotgun in sync.

Saturday armed with [Heavy Gunner] was putting pedal to the metal as he pushed Esca's engines to the limit. Along with him were over a dozen FT5's floating around the car. His role was to smash Liv off her feet.

Only Sunday was not present. Along with [Maestro] he went to support Tuesday who was getting demolished by Lilly. We needed to take Liv out quickly or Tuesday might already be down for the count.

I dusted myself off and braced my shield, "Liv. I will not die. Nor will I ever leave you. We will live and die together from now till we after we close Hellsgate. I need you. Having you with me is why I can do my best. When I am weak, I know you will protect me."

"Then. Why? Why must you keep on torturing yourself? You are the most important part of Hellsend. It is fine for me to get hurt; I am used to it."

"Liv. Stop there. This is why I believe we will never agree on this. My case is the inverse of yours. I would rather see myself on the verge of death rather than see your beautiful face have a single wound."

At my comment Liv began giggling like a chaste maiden. Her laughter seemed so pure and began to soothe my very soul. I could help but get spell bound as I enjoyed the sight.

"Beloved, why do you always say such corny lines? Only you would keep of showering a woman like me with such praise. Then I will relent. If you manage to take me down, then I will not bring this matter up again. Instead, I will focus on getting stronger."

"Thats fine Liv. But know that I will pin you to the ground and ravage your lips until I am satisfied."

"Haha, is that so? My body grows hot with anticipation. Then prove to me why you are the one I adore, Beloved. Conquer me, heart, mind, body and soul," Liv challenged as she readied her weapons.

"Of course, my love. Like I would allow anyone else to touch you! From now till when the heavens sing, you are mine!"

"THEN COME BELOVED! IF YOU CAN MAKE ME MOVE IT IS MY LOSS! SHOW ME THE WILL OF THE MAN I CHOSE! [OVERDRIVE] [KNIGHT]! {REINFORCE}!"

Shifting her classes, Liv just turned herself into the hardest fucking brick in Hellsgate. And what's worse was this was my Valkyrie, the owner of the {Withstand} family. Any blow you give her on top of being shrugged off by her defenses also charges {Counter}.

According to Exa, the energy Liv blocks got refined in her heart and converted into heat. This energy was normally used in sudden bursts like a finishing move. And I was wary for it as Liv still hasn't unleashed any of it despite our long battle.

But I couldn't wait for things to be perfect. Sharing one mind with my Avatars, Tuesday wouldn't be able to last much longer. We had to move now. I braced my body and fired 40mm grenades at Liv.

"Useless," Liv remarked.

True to her comment, Liv didn't even bother smashing the 40mm away. She just let them hit her, exploding as they did. But it wasn't over! Under the cover of the explosions, I continued.

"[Hellsend's Armory] Switchblades."

"They do not matter…"

"[Wall]!"

I then covered the Switchblades in soul armor. They were like encased by the clear defenses as they made their way to Liv! I could see Liv shift her body to defend against them. Her extra arms also took preparations. I switched my gun and pulled out an FT5.

[Everyone get ready…Our attack starts in 3…2…]

Locking on to Liv, I pressed the trigger and fired a 95mm HEAT Rocket.

[…1…Plan Start!]
