Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 869 : I feel so powerless [2/2]
"Listen well Jo, for I will only say this once. You bear a great burden. One I did in the past. Where I failed you must succeed. This is why I chose you among the many Reapers who longed for power."
As Vela continued to speak in the air, thousands of thousands of Hellsborn burst out from the ground. In the map Exa created for me, red dots came from inside and beyond the perimeter we set up!
[My lord. New enemy demons have appeared. They are all heading towards Lady Jo.]
Hearing such things, I knew this was probably all part of Vela's plan. While I felt alarmed, Vela has never given me a reason to doubt her. Jo told me several times that when she was afraid, Vela would often protect her.
"FUCK! {NEVER ALONE}! {DAY BY DAY}! Call for help!"
Splitting myself into seven. We all ran to our positions and prepared for battle.
"[Maestro]!" "[Defender]!" "[Gladiator]!" "[Sky Sentinel]!" "[Heavy Gunner]!" "[Executioner]!" "[Ninja]!"
'My {Kindred}. Please protect Jo. She is about to make a big move.'
'Roger that Honey.' 'I will see it done, Anata.' 'Got it Possum.'
Before I could even choose a defense point, I saw Aki running towards beyond the city. Following her was a storm of swords courtesy of her soulgear. Amari and Mia were also lagging behind.
"Shujin, Bella. I am in position! I will take care of the reinforcements! Support me! {Carnival of the Damned}! [SANGUINE BLADE WING]! {Sanguine Armor}! {CARVE}! {BUTCHER}! {DOPE}!"
I piloted Monday who had [Defender] to her side and began casting defensive {Programs}.
"Kamisan! Leave the defense to me! [PROXY]! [WALL]! [INSPIRE]!"
"Fufu! Then take care of me Anata! Here they come!"
[My lord. Another wave of demons has appeared. They are no longer from Kismayo and are coming from neighboring cities that have already been overrun.]
"[Sky Sentinel]! [BURST]! Sabel! Use the switchblades to stop the fliers. Henry, Alfonso. Form a choke point for Aki! Robyn! the two of us will support Honey!" Bella shouted as she flew high above.
[Yes, Mother!] x3
"FUCK ME DEAD! I'm on my way [BURST]!"
As I was besides, Aki I could see that she was already covered in blood red armor. Giant swords surrounding her like guard, yet she was still intended to call for more.
"[ARSENAL]! [ROOTED]! [SHOCK AND AWE]! ON MY {KINDRED}'S HONOR! YOU SHALL NOT PASS! KAKETEKOI!"
Invoking the skills of [Heavy Gunner], she summoned even more guns and nailed herself to the ground. Her blood swords began spinning like tops and thew themselves at our enemies. At the same time a hundred {Replicate} guns all began unleashing Sacreds and various {Bestow} rounds.
I could feel the battle lust raging from my Kamisan's link. Anyone would feel that way. We all saw the enormous wave of demonic beings appearing in Exa's map.
"Fuck..."
***
In another part of the battlefield, the area around Jo was also chaotic as hell. Here six of my avatars tried to kill as many as we could.
Using Thursday, I roared, "[ARSENAL]! [ROOTED]! [SHOCK AND AWE]! DIE YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT!"
[Maestro] was running simulations but none of them were pretty. This was like the Vampires conspiracy all over again! Despite using all avatars save Monday to clear out the demons around Jo, it still wasn't enough. There was just too many!
As my Italian lover rose, her domain no longer reached the coming demons. Thus, the side protecting her slowly began to die out. Fortunately, I was not alone.
"Honey! I am here. Let me help. [Hellsend's Armory] M107! [Executioner]! You two! Don't just stand there! Do something! Forget about collateral damage! We are going to die if this keeps up!"
"You all are daft! We should be running! CHOCO WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING?"
"ARGGGHH!!!!! LET'S DO THIS FLUFFY!"
"[KITTY PUNCH]! Possum! I'll handle the ones that cluster!"
"Thanks, Keep them away from Jo! We need to clear the ones here before the rest arrive."
Terror and panic began to dominate my girls and allies. While the Hellsborn went down with enough bullets, being overwhelmed by thousands of them was still quite terrifying. They were tougher than zombies and their numbers slowly began to overwhelm our ability to kill them.
"{PHASE}! [KITTY PUNCH]! Huff… hufff… {Eat}, munch, munch. Fucking Nutjob! What the hell are you doing? Whatever you going to do, do it already!"
Robyn our greatest fire power was already unleashing her full power inside the city. Like a gigantic mallet the Hellsborn that grouped together were smashed into bloody ichor. She was already eating candy bars just to continue fighting.
According to Exa's map. From original 5,000 we were fighting their numbers jumped to over 20,000. Then to over 100,000 and now over if the numbers were to be believed, over 500,000 were coming this way.
'Exa! Why can't I call on Lilly, Liv or Jas? We need Juno and Roach! Call someone! Anyone!'
[I do not know my lord. None of my messages are reaching them. I am not sure if it's because of the Malice from the demons or Vela's powers.]
"What? Shit!"
I looked up and saw Vela giggling.

"I see. Thank you for telling me. There is a reason I chose the Crown of Envy. I admire your love for Darling. So much so, that I want it too."
Just what the hell was Vela and Jo talking about? Since earlier, Jo's link was silent, and I no longer heard anything. Unlike us who were panicking, Vela looked towards the coming demons with a smirk.
"Such a naughty child. While it is true that the Reapers of my world failed, I am not weak. Etch this lesson into your bones you unruly brat. HERE! IN THIS WORLD! THE GODDESS VELA DESCENDS ONE MORE!"
At that moment, an ungodly amount of souls erupted from my Italian lover's body. Every hair in my body stood up and I froze in place. It wasn't just me, Reaper and demon, we all felt crushed by the majesty of the one who arrived.
This domineering presence.
An oppressive pressure greater than any tyrant.
Something no one would be able to forget.
"A fucking Revenant…"
{Why do you think our fate is called Listen, Jo?}
The sunny skies transformed; clouds rolled like a carpet covering the heavens, only a small hole in the sky focused the sunlight on Vela. At the sudden shade our surroundings felt cold. It was as if we were once again in Hellsgate.
{It's because when I talk, others listen.}
[My lord the next wave of demons will arrive in 5 minutes.]
{Halt.}
At Vela's words every single red dot in our map stopped moving.
{And it's not just those who have life. Rain.}
The moment the words were said a chaotic rainstorm fell to the ground.
{The world often speaks, it's just that no one can hears it. Grow.}
Vines and foliage suddenly cracked the floor we were standing on! The overgrown appendages grew as thick as cars. They whipped, smashed and crushed the demons. Our forces in contrast were gently returned to stable ground.
{My fate allows you to do so. With it you can command even the world itself.}
Vela looked towards the incoming demons and spoke, {Come to me.}
A violent rumbling echoed. I then saw something I could not understand. A like torrent of Earth higher than even skyscrapers came towards us. Like a tidal wave, the land carrying hundreds of thousands of demons surfed towards Vela.
{But the problem is you fear the quiet solitude.}
The water that gathered on the ground began to flow upward. There it created a river in the sky.
{You desire to surround yourself with the voices of others to distract yourself.}
Vela raised her left hand. The vines around us all grew further to over thousands of feet. Like giant redwoods they began to blot out what little sun remained! Some even carried the bigger Hellsborn with them.
{So, until you learn to cut out the noise.}
The Astral then pointed to the approaching land. Then to the river that defied gravity. At once, like fated lovers the tide of water and land rushed towards each other! They collided violently and spun around like a hurricane!
{And revel in the silence.}
Vela beckoned to the large vines, and they all lashed towards the gigantic tornado of earth and water. Like a vase the treelike appendages wrapped and began crushing the revolving calamity. The dark clouds all began to disperse at that moment, showing the majesty of Vela's feat.
{You will be unable to truly Listen.}
Snapping her fingers, the gigantic vines began to whiter at an unbelievable rate. Violent echoes resounded as the things that green tentacles forcefully held together began to fall.
{I am the Shepherd. The protector of cattle. The goddess of music.}
In less than ten seconds, the tower and debris the Astral created crumbled to dust and vanished to the winds.
{I am the lady of the waters, the forests and of the wilds}
Vela turned towards me as she descended to the ground.
{I am Vela, The Songstress of the Harvests. And on this day, I live once more!}
