Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Limitless! That is nothing but slander! The same base would be on the defender's floor. Normally, we would have a standing force stationed there. They would of course help with the defense."

Clearly emotional, Leo took a step in my direction, unable to contain himself, death resonance leaking out of him.

Almost everyone in the room stepped to my defense. However, I raised my hand to stop them. It didn't escape me that Nyda, Leo's partner, seemed to have eyeballs that glowed like lightning.

"Both of you calm down. I have not yet made my decision. Do you have anything to add? Things that would help convince me to grant your request?"

Nyda stepped forward and pushed Leo back.

"My lord, your servant's name is Nyda. I am Leo's {Kindred}. Please forgive his outburst, my husband is a bit emotional. The greatest benefit to you, my lord, would be to have talented adventurers at your beck and call."

"Explain."

"My lord, we are the ones you send for specific tasks that no one else could perform. Adventurers are the ones who bring back monster corpses and materials that all other professions use. Without us, they would simply run out of supplies."

"Hellsend has no problem. With a name like Limitless, do you think my lord would have a problem with supplies?" Cynthia barked in irritation.

"And get off your high horse, you adventurer bastards, as if you all have any sense of dignity. Unlike the Death Seekers, you bastards run away at the first sign of trouble! Your claim to a standing army is complete bullshit!"

Surprisingly, even Addison was angry. It seemed that there was a lot of bad blood between Production and the Adventurers. Just like Production and Fortification when Terence joined.

At this point, Joshua, Angela, Mike, Santiago and Warren all stepped forward and shielded Leo and Nyda.

Warren tried to calm everyone down as he explained.

"Aight, everybody take a chill pill. Look, Cynthia, Addi. I know Adventurers get a bad rap, but them niggas are not all bad. Most of the 2nd Amendment cept boo were originally Adventurers."

"I know that, Warren, but do you have any idea how Production Reapers feel when Adventurers run off with our money or resources? We don't risk our lives like they do, but each of our quests usually has our future on the line. To them, it is just a mark on their report cards!"

The festive atmosphere from earlier seems to have disappeared. The adventures, unlike those in the anime and manga, seemed to be the worst of the lot. Even in RPGs, failing quests was common. But here in Hellsgate, I knew how close to the edge Production Reapers lived.

If, after all they sacrificed, they were going to get screwed by crap-ass Adventurers, I would understand why they would hate the profession as a whole. Then I remembered that the 2nd Amendment met the LLG not as Adventurers but as my bodyguard unit.

'I wonder if such an argument would happen if the guys came in as just an Adventurer party?'

More hurtful words were thrown around as the Adventurers and Production continued their verbal sparring. Just like Production, it seems that the Adventurers were similarly betrayed by Production Reapers who were nothing but assholes.

I let them argue for a few minutes. Leo and Nyda still joined in, but their camaraderie with the former adventurers was noticeably growing. After all, only those who walked the same path would know the same problems they faced.

The slaves, rogues and the other two professions were silent. That was understandable, since they didn't want to sabotage their chances of joining by showing me something so unpleasant.

When I felt that I had given them enough time. I called upon [Whisper] and calmed everyone down. Then I continued to speak.

"Phillip, will bringing a capable group of Adventurers help us develop?"

"Even if that were the case, my lord..." Stay tuned to empire

"Yes or no," I said with authority.

"Yes, my lord. Having them would allow Administration to designate quests that would help us greatly, even more so as we establish your domain."

"Joshua, have you come across the ground breaks that have been attributed to the Adventurers?"

"No, my lord, I have not. But Gela and I have seen them before in graveyard videos."

"With the new equipment we will get, will we have any problems defending against them?"

"No, my lord. The new equipment will ensure that we will not be overwhelmed no matter how large a stampede we face," the Korean replied.

"Excellent. Mike, Santiago. Your thoughts?"

"I agree with Joshua Boss, with the Wizards and the Air Force we should be fine."

"The cowboy is right, Hefe. Once we get set up. Nothing on the 24th floor can make a dent in our walls."

The Air Force should have been the large number of Wyverns who look like Isolde's siblings. From what I know of her, Isolde must have given some guys {Sky Dragon} and allowed them to fight as her flight.

"I see. Cynthia, Addison, Yvonne. Now that you have heard the opinions of our Administrator and Hellsend's military, do you still have any complaints?"

"No, my lord, I do not." "I will abide by your decision, my lord." "I apologize for showing you something unsightly Patron."

Then I stood up and walked slowly towards Leo and Nyda. Even though I was much smaller than him, he flinched and took a step back as I approached.

"Phillip, the adventurers who caused the stampedes, what happened to them?"

"By agreement between Administration and the Adventurers, they were imprisoned for a few months and forced to pay a hefty fine. After that, they were free to return to their duties. Although occasionally, relatives or {Kindred} of the defenders would hunt down and murder the Adventurers soon after."

"I see," I said curtly.

Leo and Nyda took another step back, preparing to draw their weapons. I found their behavior annoying. I began to exert my dominance a little. It wouldn't do them any good if they thought I was on their side, even if their ranks were filled with trash.

"{Crush}."

Invoking Robyn's {Fate}, the two adventurers were forced to their knees. As I towered over them, I coldly announced to all present.

"Leo, Nyda. I accept your proposal to join us on the 24th floor. However, I want you to understand something. I am not part of Administration or the usual professions. I am and always will be a Death Seeker. As such, my rules are quite simple."

The two adventurers were still on their knees when I unleashed the full force of {Crush}. I could hear the creaking of Leo's suit and the grinding of their bones. They really were powerful if they could resist like that.

'Exa, how many G's are they experiencing right now?'

[It should be at 10 G's, my lord].

'What happens at 10 G's?'

[At that acceleration, my lord, numerous problems would arise. Restricted blood flow. Respiratory effects. Vision problems such as blackouts. Organ damage to the heart, lungs, stomach, and kidneys. Muscle strain.

And finally, broken bones.]

'Wow, the question should be, what does not happen at 10 Gs? Did you find out Robyn's limit for {Crush}?'

[Lady Robyn's {Crush} is significantly more powerful. I estimate it at 50 Gs at maximum power].

'Robyn is amazing! No wonder she can turn zombies to mush!'

[My Lord, please pay attention to the two you are torturing in front of you.]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Ah right.'

I then canceled {Crush} before continuing my speech.
