As my army of avatars all ran toward the ongoing battle. I began to make plans.
It was funny when you think about it. I didn't tell anyone, but I had yet to evolve again, despite the Seeker War. While I had no hesitation in evolving into a Phantom. It seed that I had so to beco a Specter.
For one, I learned from Connie about the price of death for Specters. As if that were not enough, I also learned from Pixie and Delroy about the sheer cruelty of reapers.
Cutting my ties with humanity was easy. But what if one of the Sirens died? Could I bear to forget them? Xander, Raymond and even Zach showed how powerless we were.
Unconsciously, I found myself hesitating to evolve. But there was a ray of hope. It was Isolde's revelation that Mike was Tristan.
Most dismissed her words. But for , who already entertained the idea of reincarnation, it was proof. The Sirens seed to have been a part of my life before, and while I wasn't sure at the mont, I was sure that I would be sharing it with them in the future.
Wrestling with such thoughts, I beca disgusted that I wasn't able to evolve.
But in complete contrast to . The Sirens all evolved to the next level. And like dutiful Kindred, they all offered their new abilities.
"I fucking well don't deserve them. [Wizard]".
I shifted my mind setting to the one that specialized in casting {Fates}.
"{Shelter}."
Using Liv's latest {Fate}, I created armor for my seven bodies. It consisted of a breastplate, armguards, greaves, and a helt. Exa's breakdown of the new {fate} allowed to fully understand it.
___
{Shelter} - Improved application of {Block}. Produces soul armor that can absorb 36 gajoules of impact before breaking. No longer requires a dium and can be molded into any shape. Requires Stamina in addition to Soul.
___
{Block} could only be applied to the body or a dium such as a shield. {Shelter}, on the other hand, was like clay. It could be molded into a wall or a protective armor.
My army began to glow as our bodies were covered in durable plating. It was extrely light and had almost no weight.
[Wizard] reduced the cost of {Shelter} from 800 souls to only 400. In this mode, I was also able to understand {Shelter} and mold it to my needs. Of course, it was not because I was a fucking genius, but because of my new mind classes.
All my mind settings had {Calculate}. Bella's newest {Fate} increased my brain power. If my brain was a single CPU before, {Calculate} turned into a quad-core.
According to Exa. {Calculate} turned Bella from a single CPU into an octa-core. No wonder the army at her disposal grew by leaps and bounds.
"Exa, tell the Sirens to retreat."
[Understood].
The only problem with [Wizard] was that I could no longer connect to machines. I had to use [Cyborg] to do so. But technically, I didn't need technopathy as long as Exa was around.
"{Withstand}. {Hike}. {Crush}."
I cast {Fates} as my army and I ran. Then we all began to loading Sacreds. Due to the enthusiasm of the saints, our Sacreds were growing rapidly in number with each passing day.
Right now, we had no worries about using them. However, the girls told that I should not rely on them. It was good to use the blessed rounds a trump cards. But if my entire battle plan was based on the Sacreds, I would be screwed the mont they didn't work.
Of course, the Sirens never intended to kill Robert. They wanted to learn from him. That was why only Jasmine shot the blessed rounds, even though they all had Sacreds.
It was very funny. For most people, our fight was a matter of life and death. To the girls and I, it was just for training.
Finding an enemy that we could go all out against was extrely difficult. Therefore, we all wanted to gain as much experience as possible.
But there was a limit. For , it was when that fucking bastard touched my won. My blood raged just rembering their pitiful state before.
"I'm going to fuck you up so bad you'll wish you were dead."
When I noticed the girls all staring in my direction, I began my plan.
"Exa, give {Limitless} 3.0 to the Sirens as soon as you can."
[Understood. The Sirens say they will assist].
"Tell them if they do not leave, our honeymoon is canceled."
The mont I said these words, all the Sirens suddenly froze. It was so endearing because even as I approached, I could hear their grumbling.
"Exa, Beloved said that?"
"Goodness, dear is being unfair!"
"Fuck dead! Possum, you are being stupid!"
"Ehh...but I want to fuck darling..."
Chapter Explore:
"Honey is such a bastard!"
"Husband bad..."
"Ara. Everybody focus... But it's not like I don't understand you all. Shujin is being a little..."
Smiling, I tried to calm them down with our Pseudo-Kindred connection. I started to think about how much I loved them and sent it along.
"Exa. Say these exact words to the Sirens."
[My Lord. Your harem is already miserable. Just switch to [Cyborg] and tell them yourself. You are making the bearer of bad news.]
I didn't know why, but the longer we fought together, the more human-like Exa beca. Right now, I could feel the frustration and resentnt in her voice.
"Haha, don't be like that. This is sothing only you can do."
[... Very well. Please begin to speak.]
"My precious harem, the ones who hold my heart. I will keep him busy. Please search for his soulgem. The seven of you are the only ones who have my complete trust. I am stupid, so I cannot do this alone. Please help .
I need all of you."
If you thought about it. It was the most obvious solution. When you battled humans, most believed that beheading or impaling a reaper through the heart would be enough.
Unfortunately, what was important to a reaper was not its head or its heart, but its soulgem.
From my fights with Phantoms, these bastards were sneaky. Vanish literally threw his soulgem away from his body on purpose. Who was to say that Robert wasn't the sa. If he could survive being turned into confetti, blowing him up more wasn't the answer.
And sadly, even with [Wizard], I couldn't think of a way to kill him. So I will make use of the wits of my won.
'Plus, giving them a task will prevent them from thinking that I just want them on the sidelines.'
I knew it would be fruitless to waste bullets just to blow the Slayer to kingdom co. But I had unlimited ammunition. And I wanted to hurt this bastard. So even if it was useless. I absolutely wanted to fuck him up.
"And I would enjoy it."
The Sirens all began to back away from the Slayer. Probably surprised, Robert kept his guard up as he shot the girls with blood spears. I was about half a mile from him. I deliberately didn't go all out to conserve the stamina of my soul avatars.
I raised my hand and called for Jasmine's newest {Fate}.
"Alright. Show ti. {Flash}!"
At that mont, a bright light erupted from my outstretched hand. Originally, I thought {Perceive} was for eye powers, but it turned out to be a {Fate} that revolved around light.
Eyes were the way to perceive light. So the first three abilities of {Perceive} were all focused on the eyes. But as it gained levels, it began to shift outward. {Flash} did one thing. It removed the ability to perceive light by making a huge ass flare.
Of course, my avatars were not exempt. Not just Robert, everyone who saw {Flash} would go blind. However, the loss of sight was not enough to render my army of avatars helpless.
Using Saturday, I got down on one knee and fired a 7mm Sacred at Robert. I didn't know if it would hit, but for now, just catching him off guard was enough. Even though I could not see, I knew exactly where he was.
My six other soul avatars continued to run. The body settings could be considered variations of {Thief}, my old {Kist} class. [Assassin] used {Dampen} and Jo's {Program}. [Silent Steps] to allow stealthy movent.
Unlike {Thief}, both [Assassin] and [Sniper] had {Counter}. Therefore, Exa explained that they could hit hard and really hard respectively.
After taking command of Sunday, I began our battle.
"[Commander], {Blink}."
