The Simmons family on the other hand, would be protected by the Sirens today and the 2nd Andnt tomorrow.
Hopefully, in the event of my death, those who would co after my 2nd family would lose interest.
It was already Thursday, so I had three days and two nights before the war. The other groups were settling down, and once I get the Sirens a stable inco, I could fight without any regrets.
The Sirens were a powerful group, and I was sure they would eventually join the front lines. Making the devil's remains into jewelry would be my last gift to them. If even Specters were susceptible to soul collapse, then the girls would need them.
I knew that what I was doing was not the best course of action, but humans were hardly logical. My current situation was similar to soone about to undergo a life-threatening operation.
Even though I planned to resist as much as I could, it was just stupid not to prepare for what would happen if I died.
Just as I was using so towels to wipe the blood off my hands, Cynthia, Addison and Yvonne ca in.
"Ah! Limitless, we were able to find you. The 2nd Andnt is also looking for you too, by the way," the LLG president inford .
"Thanks, I was just about to finish up here and get ready to go ho."
Yvonne closed the door as she spoke.
"Patron, I heard about your incident from Claire and Cynthia..."
"Stop. Do not push this any further, I have my reasons. Do not try to tell what to do or I will shoot you, understood?"
The Chief Saint accepted my rebuke and bowed as she apologized. "Forgive for overstepping Patron, I ant no offense."
Addison and Cynthia, hearing my fierce declaration made grim faces. They stood awkwardly, unsure of how to proceed.
"Please take a seat. What else did you want to talk about?" I asked, trying to be civil.
Addison took out his backpack and placed eight boxes on the table. Cynthia took each of the boxes and opened them.
Inside the plain boxes were rainbow colored bones. So were parts of skulls, others were fragnts of hips or spines, while the smaller ones were fingers or kneecaps.
"Esteed Limitless, these are the devil's remains. They are parts of the undead, purified to the limit. Just wearing them would alleviate the symptoms of soul collapse. These are the best of the twenty remains recovered by the LLG."
I took one of the boxes, which had what looked like part of a spine, and touched it. It radiated the sa divine energy as the blessed rounds. I felt cleansed just by being near it.
The biggest difference was that the energy after a blessed round lasted only a few minutes. It had been well over half an hour since our last battle, yet these bones still radiated energy.
The gruff dwarf knelt as he spoke.
"Esteed Limitless, if you have no intention of resting. Please allow us to forge these into soulgears imdiately.
"The entire LLG wishes to offer these to you. I heard about your sentints from Cynthia, but we cannot accept! You have helped us so much, and we have yet to repay you."
He then slamd his fist into his chest with such force that the furniture rattled a bit.
"Even if our future no longer rides with you, our gratitude will remain forever. We wish to repay at least a fraction of the favor we have received.
"The LLG will give these to you as a gift and craft them in any way you wish. We intend to accept paynt for future transactions, but please allow us to show our gratitude at least once."
Unexpectedly, even Yvonne and Cynthia got down on one knee and asked for my permission.
"Please let us repay you. Patron."
"Esteed Limitless, please allow it."
I could tell from Addison's trembling voice how serious he was. No man worth his weight appreciated being indebted to another. Not without being able to repay it, at least. Their pride wouldn't allow it.
Perhaps, as a form of gratitude, they wanted to do sothing to help . As soone who knew what it felt like to want to give back, I smiled and agreed.
"Then I will graciously accept. Thank you for your sincerity. Please turn one into sothing to wear with my suit. Make the others into won's jewelry, preferably seven rings."
When Yvonne heard my words, she smiled mischievously like a cat.
"Patron, will the jewelry be for the ladies coming tomorrow? Nothing says I own you better than a wedding ring!"
I nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I have yet to ask them, just regular elegant rings will be fine."
Cynthia, catching on, made a lecherous face as she joined in.
"Kya! So the rumored battle harem that the esteed leader adores is coming tomorrow?! I better tell the rest of the guild that we should prepare a grand welco!"
Even Addison started laughing like a goofy uncle at the news.
"HAHAHA! The rumored Battle harem of Limitless! I knew our leader was a man's man! Very well, I will make sure that the final products will be sothing worthy of even queens!"
Surprised that there were even rumors, I looked at the culprit, expecting an explanation. I had only ntioned the Sirens in passing earlier that evening.
"Oh, don't look at like that, Patron! I did it for you! We told you you were A material. When the money started rolling in, every female reaper had your na on her lips. From every profession to the red light district."
"Get to the point," I replied coldly.
"They kept harassing the LLG to reveal what kind of woman you preferred. Of course, the LLG guarded the information closely, we created a Hollywood style response that answered whether you were taken or not."
"Yvonne..."
"I finally told the everyone that you already had a battle harem serving you! And that because of this group of won, you have no interest in anyone else, so they should just give up!" the head saint shouted as if she had a gun to her head.
She wasn't wrong, but for so reason I wanted to hit her. I had no idea that sothing like this was already brewing.
'Well, I spent practically all my ti in the Zones. How am I supposed to handle this?'
