Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 1059: I’ll take two [2/2]

'Otherwise, I would hate myself if I failed to protect them,' I thought inwardly.

Of course, the girls also talked about some rather mundane topics. Which made me happy in a different way. Ahead of me were Jas, Liv, and Aki at the tip of our formation. Contrary to the other pairs, they were discussing quite a sexy topic.

"Liv, how do I make my breasts bigger?" my Wifey began.

"Ehem…Northern culture says that the fastest way to grow your breasts is to have the one you love massage them every day. But why worry about that, Jas? Your behind is just as, if not more, captivating. Beloved is as enchanted with it as my chest. My butt is worse compared to yours."

"Uhm. I just thought, Husband might like me more if my breasts were bigger. Seeing how much he worships big breasts. Yours, Lilly's, Bella's, and Aki's breasts make me a bit sorrowful."

"Jas, you are mistaken. I'm only 32C, you're 32D. It's just that compared to you, I am petite, so my breasts seem bigger. It's not with the size, it's how you present your goods. Also, I agree with Liv; in comparing bottoms, only Lilly-sama can compare to you. Bella might be a close second."

"What are you two talking about? Your butts are just as shapely. They are toned and plump. Doesn't Husband squeeze them when he loves us from behind?" Jas paused, "My breasts. Husband fondles them whenever he can, but they aren't getting any bigger." She sounded unsure.

Liv then reached out to her and hugged her shoulder. "At this point, what are you even worried about, sister? Beloved would adore you no matter your shape; I am a living testament to that. He loves our features because we are his, not because we are of a certain size."

"I know that, but I just want Husband to love me more. I know I'm being irrational, but I can't help it. I want to do everything to make him happy."

"I understand that feeling well, Jas. But Shujin is quite simple. Just present yourself to him, naked or in cosplay; lingerie with stockings works just as well. Or give him a new gun."

"Hmm. I agree with the part of just pouncing on him. But right now, I do not think Beloved needs more weapons; with {Fabricate} and [Heavy Gunner], he has enough. If anything, I think he should change his soulgear. {Day by Day} can no longer keep up with him."

"Ara, that is also a good idea. Although {Day by Day's} abilities were more of a necessity. Everyone knows that Shujin wanted to love us all equally. Also, apart from sex, his disciplines work best with separate bodies. So even if we switched his soulgear, we need to give him the same ability."

Despite Eva and Roach being beside me, neither commented on the rather lewd topic. This must be some kind of test for [Cipher]. Otherwise, there was no reason for the girls to talk about such things. Although, since I found their discussions interesting, I didn't stop them.

Eventually, we reached the end of the path. The Sirens kept chatting about various topics while the rest of us were silent. As no one else reacted to anything my girls said, Exa must have been working her magic.

[Everyone, please take the second path. Through here, you will arrive at the garden of Prince Tshilumba Mubanga's estate. He is a Specter who leads the reformist faction. At the moment, he and his party should be running around trying to find traces of the Enthralled units.]

"I see. What are the chances that they would find us in his house?" I asked.

[Extremely slim. Unless he has a {Fate} dedicated to detection. Tshilumba's alias is Scorpion Warlock. His loud and outspoken nature made him quite famous. His call to action and demonstrations advertised his strengths. Although I am unsure if it is all true.]

"That is fair. If they know we attacked Kaziema's house, the worst-case scenario is that he and his whole group of Specters are all waiting for us. Exa, how many Specters does the Reformist faction have again?"

[They have nine, my lord. While the Conservatives have ten.]

"…"

I couldn't help but gulp audibly. It would be perfect if the place only had a single Specter. But given my luck, I believed that I would pull the worst possible card. The Danakil Depression was protected by nine Specters, not counting Onye. So, in a way, this would be easier.

"Let us use this for training. Everyone, assume that we will be facing all nine Specters of the Reformist faction. Carlos and Herman aren't here, so we need to make some adjustments. Girls, please reform the teams to deal with the nine Specters."

I sense a flurry of digital signals flying from all seven of my girls. Their faces showed a mix of worry, anger, frustration, and resignation. Then they all nodded to each other. Lilly then announced for everyone to hear.

"Mrs. Baker, Jo and I will take the three strongest. Robyn and Liv will each take one while with half the Seraphs as support. Jas will take the sixth as she supports the wolves. Aki will take the seventh alone. Roach takes the eighth. Juno and the Vithriss will take the ninth.

"Bella and the soulless will take care of everything else. As our goal is not to murder them all, just keeping them busy is enough. Dearest, you will act as our safeguard in case something goes wrong. Do you find this plan acceptable?"

The plan was well thought out. But I was the only one who didn't get to fight a Specter. The only thing I had an issue with was that Aki would take on a Specter alone. Considering the nature of her abilities, I could understand. But I wanted to increase her margin of safety.

'[Maestro] get your ass out here.'

[Maestro boot up completed... Please state the combat situation.]

'Reshuffle the people we have. I want the Sirens on Phantom rank to have a higher margin of safety.'

[If you intend to face nine Specters in your next battle, here's my advice: Take two Specters. Have Roach fight with Aki. And divide the Vithriss and Juno between Jas and Robyn. Liv already has the optimum support.]

'You think I can take two Specters?' I asked in disbelief.

[I do. If you arm your soul avatars with Disciplines and Fakers. You can even kill them. You just need to group them accordingly. Tshilumba normally fights with his lover, a Specter named Amara Nyasha. Her alias is Silver Moth; they fight as a pair.]

I see. The only way to allocate people to help Aki was to step up. I didn't know if Lilly was serious about her claim to keep me on the sidelines. But I never really desired to live in safety. If my harem was taking on Specters, I should be the one leading.

"Lilly, I love you, but it isn't. I'll take two. Give me Tshilumba and his lover Amara Nyasha. Roach goes with Aki, the Vithriss, and Juno will be split and support Jas and Robyn."

"But!"

Every one of my harem tried to object. But I raised my hand to silence them. Then I sent affection and confidence through our link.

'My precious Kindred. Please let me do this. [Maestro] assures me that if I go all out, I can do it. Please.'

'Sigh. I guess that was kind of expected,' Bella commented.

The others all expressed similar complaints but all eventually relented. While I was yet a Specter, I had already proved to them I could fight one. I had a lot at my disposal and, unlike the time I fought with Lilly, I didn't plan to hold back.

The girls all finally agreed after I promised them I would be careful. When they gave me permission, I gave them all a simple kiss. Then I faced the rest of my group and commanded them all.

"I may be overly pessimistic, but I believe in being prepared. If there is only a single Specter, then we will attack immediately. But if I am correct, be ready. Our priority is just to get them to stand down. But if they come for your life, kill them all. I will bear the responsibility."

"YES, MY LORD!" was the immediate response. They didn't even question why I believed the Specters would be all in this place. If that wasn't blind loyalty, I don't know what is.

We all eventually walked into the portal. And upon exiting, I felt the soul signatures of nine Specters. Along with over forty Phantoms. The Specters were all seated at a long table in a breathtaking garden. They seemed to be in the middle of a meeting.

"I hate it when I'm right," I murmured in defeat.

'{Day by Day}, {Never Alone}, [Shared Armory].'

When they saw our party suddenly appear, armed and ready for battle, the Africans jumped up in surprise.

"Alright. For the peace of Africa, I need you all to stand down. Lilly?"

"HELLSEND! TAKE DOWN THE REFORMIST FACTION! OPEN COMBAT!"
