[Stefan and his party seed to have been able to escape via an underground tunnel. They should be safe from what is to co.]
Sunday's body got absolutely mangled. My head got blown off. My arms turned to spaghetti. Even my torso got punctured with large holes. The only thing I made sure not to hit was my neck and my hips. Even with most of my body destroyed, I kept my legs firmly around Gaspar.
He stopped shouting. Given that a 95 mm destroyed my face, it was safe to say his was also in the sa state. Yet despite the pain, my avatars didn't stop firing. Even though we smashed 40mm grenades into Gaspar, none of them exploded.
This was simply because they could not pri due to insufficient spins. The sa was true for the HEAT rockets. Only as they were longer, they were like spears that nailed Gaspar and on the floor. But I wasn't worried. After all, as more and more 40mm sacred got buried into Gaspar the better my final move would be.
[My lord, Noble Vampires are loitering around the castle. It seed the holy energy of radiating from this room has put them on edge. More and more ghouls and over a hundred Vampires are scouring the castle grounds.]
The abuse my body got under the combined assault of all my guns naturally hurt a whole fucking lot. But that was exactly what I aid for at this mont. My heart which drew strength from pain was already burning since a while ago.
Yet I didn't invoke {Counter}. As even a normal Noble Vampire tanked my {Counter} powered punch, obviously it would do shit to Gaspar. But what I needed right now was not {Counter} kinetic energy. No. What I needed was the heat that ca as a byproduct of {Suffer}.
[My lord. Your heart will fail in the next 2 seconds.]
'Exa, please make sure I do not die.'
[I will try. Truly just when I though you could not think of a crazier way to fight, you co up with this… Please unsummon your soul avatars.]
'{Day by Day}. OY! What do you an try?!'
[Tis up.]
I then felt my heart explode. It was extrely painful like soone took a ball of barbed wire and flayed the insides of my chest before dousing in a bath of acid. I couldn't breathe, yet I felt I was drowning. I couldn't move my arms, but I felt like going insane from pain.
But I continued. After all this was I wanted. The heat began to set my body on fire. Like soone who suffered from spontaneous human combustion flas began to spread from my very skin.
If you removed that fact that all the nerves along my skin were screaming, it was like I beca the human torch. The flas naturally also began to burn Gaspar. But as this fucker was semi-immortal why would he be afraid of flas?
[My lord, prepare for [Autoload], Sacred detonation in 2 seconds.]
Right. Gaspar had no reason to be scared of fire. But what about the almost a hundred 40mm Sacreds embedded along the floor? If that was not enough there was over a dozen 95mm also stabbed in the concrete.
'Exa… I think I'm going to die.'
[Not really. My lord is Limitless.]
In the next second, I felt my body slowly breakdown into particles and vanish.
***
When I ca too, I felt the wind on my skin along with tremors from the ground. Opening my eyes I ca face to face with a vast army of Zombies and Ghouls. The skies which were normally black was littered with red dots and "moved" like smoke.
I could not even register where I was before my eyesight suddenly got bathe in white. I crouched to the ground and pulled out the Tomahawk shield. A deep and unnerving boom followed.
A violent explosion caused the ground to rumble as if the very earth had split. My skin felt its power as sound, wind, heat and even light rushed towards . Despite bracing myself, my body felt like it would be thrown about by the force of the blast.
"EXA [OVERDRIVE] [KNIGHT]!" I shouted.
[[Wizard] setting shifting to [Knight].[Knight] levels up to [Heavy Knight].]
[[Sniper] setting shifting to [Knight]. [Heavy Knight] levels up to [Knight Lord].]
As my default state was [Wizard], [Sniper] and [Knight], I once again invoked [Knight lord] to nail myself to the ground.
A second later the blinding light that penetrated my eyelids finally died down. I quickly stood up and looked towards the source of the explosion. Only to dumbfounded by what was there.
Instead of the room we were in, almost the entire section of that castle was destroyed. To put it into context, only a tenth of Castle De Arno remained. The blast was so powerful it almost vaporized the entire structure.
"Cough! Cough! LIMITLESSSSSSS!!!!!"
Yet despite the building's absence one body was floating in place. It had only half an arm and a leg. Unlike his normal handso face, he was burned to a charcoal black. Only his red eyes and white teeth contrasted his devastated body. Naturally I knew the identity of this flying corpse.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ? HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!" I cursed!
"YOU ARE GOING TO DIE TODAY! {TO ALL WHO SERVE THE ONE WITHOUT END! KILL THE PHANTOM LIMITLESS!}"
A terrifying surge of malice traveled across the sky. It was like the feeling of an uncomfortable fog, it felt sticky and damp. But what made it dangerous was the large army the surrounded all suddenly turned their eyes towards .
To suddenly feel the gaze of ten people was nothing. A hundred and it would begin to uncomfortable, but what I was feeling right now felt like the gaze of tens of millions. It was like a suffocating weight that was stepping on my lungs.
Even though they monsters did nothing more than look, I felt my breath get ragged. My body began to tense up as adrenaline coursed through my veins. Despite being in the middle of an extrely large army, it was quiet.
The absolute stillness made the experience all the more alarming. You could hear a pin drop in this silence. But I knew that this peace would not last forever, and when it erupted, I would catch myself caught in a wave of enemies without a single ally.
'Exa, talk to .'
[I have no suggestions my lord. Do your best.]
'FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!' 'HAHAHA! BRING IT ON! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!' 'Just how much money would I make out of you bastards?' 'Are there any good-looking vampires around? Might as well rape a few before I die.' 'I'm fucking exhausted, just let them kill already!' 'I'm hungry.
When do we eat?'
Suddenly I felt a thousand voices all chattering in my brain. As this was not the first ti I felt this way, I quickly checked my status, specifically my souls.
___
Na: Limitless Race: Reaper | Rank: Phantom | Origin: Artificial Descendant Souls available: 45,443,879 | To evolve: 75,000
___
FUCK! Of course, my soul was on the brink of collapse! That massive explosion took out a sizable chunk of the Vampire army.
"{Never Alone}."
As the voices were silenced, I once again called out to my only ally.
"Exa, give the fastest way to burn through all my souls."
[No matter the cost?]
"Yes."
[Use {Soul breaker}.]
"I can do that?"
[Yes. Technically any Phantom can use it not just Descendants. However as anyone who used it ceased to exist, the knowledge of how to do it was kept secret.]
"Okay. How do I do it?"
[Feel every soul in your body. Then detonate it as you would your heel during a "Vela Kick." The amount of souls in your body determines your power. And until you run out of souls you will not die.]
No wonder {Soul Breakers} were so powerful. If {Limitless} granted such power for 10,000 souls, what would 45,000,000 souls be capable of!
"Will I lose myself once this begins? Can I co back with {Rewind}?"
[I do not know, my lord. The reason Descendants only use it as a last resort is to reduce the chance of a soul collapse, ensuring they remain in control. Your soul is already in the middle of collapsing so I am unsure if you can still retain your sanity.]
"I see. It can't be helped then."

I felt the restoration of my {Kindred} link to Jas, Lilly, and Liv. Feeling their chaotic emotions, I expressed my love for them one final ti.
'Liv, Jas, Lilly. I love you all. Tell Aki, Jo, Robyn and Bella that I love them too. And that I am sorry to all of you.'
'BELOVED!' 'DEAREST!' 'HUSBAND!'
I then closed off my {Kindred} link.
"{SOUL BREAKER}!"
