Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 675: Heroine Chapter: No longer the same [2/2]

It was my first time being called beautiful. I grew addicted to his praise and my beloved’s admiration. I wanted him to brag about me to all who would listen…

And now I was being left behind because of it.

My sisters were desperate enough to push themselves all to the brink. All just to not remain the same. That was the price for keeping up with our {Kindred}. The cost of power.

And here I was afraid of being ugly. It was pathetic. Yet when I gazed at the eyes of my man, I only saw one thing. Love. And…lust. A lot of it.

But, back to my point! Seeing the warmth radiating from my {Kindred} I embraced him ever tighter.

His vow to me once again played in my mind.

"Liv, I love you. Its okay if you don’t believe me for now. I will tell you every single day for the rest of our lives. I accept your vow. And in turn give you my own. For you, I vow to eradicate the dead from the North."

My {Kindred} willingly took on the burden to save an entire continent. All for me. Against such a resolve I wavered to gain power because I wanted to stay pretty. Such hubris. I was truly the epitome of foolishness. I was pathetic.

"Such a novel way of fighting, Beloved. Thank you for your advice. You are truly so wise," I remember saying out of shame.

"You praise me too much Liv. I just was able to watch a lot of Anime and manga."

This man truly did not know how much he dazzled me. To my beloved gaining four additional arms would not affect how much he adored me. Otherwise he wouldn’t have suggested it. My fears and worries seemed silly in the face of his love.

***

I remember the words of my {Kindred} before we liberated the defenders of the 30th floor.

"Then farewell for now beloved. Let us proceed with our hunt," I said in passing.

As expected of him he noticed my state, "Ho? You seem eager, love?"

"I am. The North also has its share of vampires. A lost a few of my siblings to them. It feels like a dream, that I am now going to be fighting against those I could only run from in the past."

Every fiber of being grew hot from battle fervor. I was now at the starting line. As a Phantom I could now influence the war of my homeland. I no longer had to cower. I no longer had to watch in helplessness as we got pushed back.

"That is understandable. But then again Liv, the you at the moment, cannot be compared to the one who left the North."

He was right. As always, my beloved said wisdom that was like those of Scholars. I was no longer the same reaper who left the North looking for hope. I was now the Reaper who found it.

In happiness I replied to the one who owned my heart, "It is natural. For one I have you now. I am no longer alone. That fact grants me unfathomable strength."

And as if to reinforce that point, Vampires that were like disasters to my Homeland died pitifully to my guns. Ever running forward so long as I do not stop the tides would change.

The attack we did proved just how much power our group had. What more if the rest of Hellsend joined us? What kind of power could we unleash on the North? I grew hopeful. I trembled in anticipation.

"[Asura]! [Valkyrie]! [Inventory] Tomahawk, 1887, M32! Exa! Prepare for [War Cry]! {BLINK}!"

[Understood, Lady Liv. [War Cry] is primed and ready.]

Invoking my new makeshift battle style, I molded my body into a new form. Growing only five feet instead of fifty, I instead attached four arms on my shoulders, two on each side. Covering my body with armor made from {Shelter}, my Asura form was prepared for battle.

For weapons I created a simple {Shelter} blade and enhanced my ballistic shield with {Fates}. My arms on my right shoulder wielded the Winchester 1887 shotgun, while the left carried the Milkor M32 grenade launcher.

As my feet crashed into the ground, I flexed all six of my arms one after another. Power and strength radiated through my entire frame. I was monstrous in appearance. Yet I didn’t care.

Taking a deep breath, I roared at the top of my voice.

"{I AM FREYJA! THE SHIELD OF LIMITLESS! DEATH COMES FOR YOU ALL! THERE WILL BE NO ESCAPE!}"

This was my resolve. I was no longer just Liv Ivaldi. I cannot remain the same. I was now the shield of Limitless. Who cares what I looked like. My beloved’s affection was all that mattered.

I felt the hostile looks of thousands. I didn’t know what they were and ultimately it didn’t matter. I drove my leg into the ground and charged forward. Seeing the multitude coming towards me, I raised the M32 and began lobbing 40mm Sacreds.

When all six were fired, I felt Exa reload the chambers. My extra left arms opened up the grenade launcher and twisted the cylinder. Winding up the spring mechanism. Without even looking at it, I closed up the M32 and again resumed firing.

A bunch of Ghouls came towards me. Like a pack of rabid wolves they darted towards me. Their mouths dripped with saliva dying to sink into my flesh. Yet they would remain unfulfilled despite their fervor.

The right arms on my shoulders hip fired the 1887 and terminated the enemies in range. With two arms working the lever, 10-gauge buckshots blasted the Ghouls into golden ash. Unlike the M32, the 1887 never stopped firing once it began.

My {Fates} allowed my Asura body to bear the recoil of my guns. While {Limitless} became the reason I could fight despite having extra arms.

[Assassin] allowed me to move without minding my balance. It also granted me the combat sense to fire my weapons with fairly high accuracy. As both were not precision guns it didn’t matter how close my rounds were to the target.

[Wizard] was the only reason I could operate three sets of weapons without going insane. Fighting at three distances it was more like each pair of my arms operated like a separate person.

[Knight] granted me with increased resilience and defensive power. Together I could fight as three people with the same body. And my combat prowess grew by leaps and bounds as a result.

A speeding figure suddenly appeared right in front of me. His bloody long fingernails mere inches away from my face. Unfortunately, he was too focused on attacking. His sharp weapons stopped just before my skin.

"What?"

Without so much as a word, my right shoulder arms pointed the 1887 and fired a 10-gauge buckshot point blank. As if he was made of paper, more than two thirds of his torso vanished. Terror filled his face at the sound of my gun vaporizing the rest of him.

"HOW COULD YOU!!!!"

Another figure vaulted from high up, this time, she aimed for the 1887. I had my right shoulder arms let go of lever action shotgun and traded my main weapons with it.

Arm with the sword and shield, the Vampire was blocked by my upper arms. As she and my extra pain of arms fought for supremacy, my main body acted.

’[Inventory] 1887.’

With the Winchester on my original arms, I aimed up and again repeated the same dull actions as before. Only yet another immortal being died pathetically. Within the same second, I felt three figures approach me from the top, left and back.

If it was the old me, I would have tried to defend against such a savage assault. But I was no longer the Liv I used to be.

"{Blink}."

"WHAT?" "WHERE?" "ARRRGHH!"

My figure vanished as the three vampires crashed into each other. I appeared behind them and fired a 40mm Sacred. An explosion of holy light bathe the three and turned them into sand.

As I my left shoulder arms winded up the M32, I looked onward and saw a few more vampires in front of me. But unlike before their faces no longer showed blood lust. Their bodies quaked as they shuddered at the mere sight of me. Enjoy more content from novelbuddy

"M-Monster! W-What are you?" cried one in terror.

Funny, it was barely a month ago, that our situations were reversed. That they were the hunter and I was the prey. But now? I was…

"No longer the same."
