All my life I adored stories about knights and heroes. Being able to beat the dragon and get the girl. I like many others longed to be like them. However, as stories evolved over ti dragons weren't as epic as they used to be.
These days you didn't even need a dragon. You just needed a badass who fought for sothing beyond himself. If there wasn't a larger-than-life beast, then he must be surrounded by enemies as nurous as the dust in a desert.
Only then would such a setting would be worth a land stand. A single battle. One mont. That was all it took. A single decision was the only thing that divided the victors from the scrubs.
But that one decision was not sothing most could make. And right now, I was in such a mont. Surrounded by an army of monsters, alone I stood. While I had every reason to run, I would never do so. For if I did, I would lose that which I held most dear.
My body which began to imagine the battle began to tremble. My breathing also began to turn ragged as my lungs tried to take in as much oxygen as they could. Like a spring my body tensed up to the limit awaiting its release.
'Exa. This is is going to be pretty rough. You want to upload yourself sowhere else? And tell my story or sothing?'
[No, my lord. And please stop being so dramatic. We have been through much worse. This might look grave but in reality, it isn't.]
'Ho? Pretty arrogant of you.'
[Ara. Compared to you, I am quite humble.]
'Hahaha, I guess… Thank you, Exa.'
[That cos later, my lord. For now, we fight.]
'I don't suppose, I can just leave it all to you?'
[Pfft. My lord, surely you must be kidding.]
'But I am serious though?' I replied.
Exa then created a screen that overlapped in my vision. It it was a reflection of my face. And I couldn't believe my eyes at the expression I was making.
[My lord. This face is not the expression of a prey. It is that of a hunter. You are not trembling because you are nervous, you are shivering because of excitent.]
Despite the situation, a giant grin was plastered on my face. It was one of insanity. One of overwhelming blood thirst.
[My lord, I assure you that the chances of you dying are slim. Instead, the chances of your soul collapsing from malice is almost certain. Do you wish to know what you remind off right now?]
'Surprise .'
[You remind of a chained animal awaiting to be unleashed.]
I began to ponder Exa's words. As I did the Vampires that assembled in the skies slowly increased in number. With them were the Nobles that were different from Gaspar.

I didn't rush them all as I was buying ti. But as none of them tried to attack. I lowered myself to the ground. When I did, the Ghouls around my landing spot all jumped away. Like frogs making them scarce they evaded being in my striking distance. Getting annoyed that nothing was happening I called out.
"What? You outnumber a billion to one. Why wait? Let's go!"
The Vampires in the air began to whisper among themselves. Even though I could hear them, they were saying the sa cringy lines from ani or sothing. About how I was courting death, about how the fear turned insane, or my personal favorite.
"He isn't really going to take us all on, right? Even for him that would be insane!"
Yet despite his assumption none of his compatriots assured him that I wouldn't. It was if they all knew they couldn't scare from doing nothing. Feeling I gave them enough ti, I had to begin. Gaspar would arrive soon, and I had to either drive these bastards away or put them all into the ground.
Just as I was about to move, I felt familiar soul signatures coming from a certain direction. I couldn't believe my eyes at who showed up. It was Dorian, and he had on his hands George R Clay.
"Limitless! This man should be your pet, right? If you want him to survive surrender obediently!"
Five other noble vampires ca forward. They similarly had the other defenders by the throat. The Phantoms include Bison were all pale, as if they have been drained of their blood.
I said nothing but rely wondered what I should do. There was literally no way I would stop fighting just because of George's party. Why would they even believe I would.
Dorian then began to strangle George as he lifted the Reaper up. I could see the Iron Wolverine grunting in pain. He looked like he had several broken bones. Perhaps thinking he had caught by the balls. Dorian began to make threats.
"Do not test Limitless! Stories of how much you value your n made their way even here! If you do not surrender, we will kill these Reapers! Your people! And turn them into vampires."
[Pfft. These fools are making a mistake. It's like parading a Siren naked in front of my lord expecting him to not touch her. How moronic.]
'Exa, what the hell? You make sound like soone who fucks without thought about ti, place or occasion.'
[My lord. Let's be serious. Should you see one of the Sirens naked in front of you. You will do the following in exactly in this order. Kill anyone or anything that saw them naked. Make sure the ladies are alright.
Then proceed to molest and ravage them on the spot.]
'…I reserve my right to remain silent.'
[Thought so. Stop playing gas my lord. Just shoot them already.]
"As my EXA commands!"
"W-What?"
'[Combat Shadow Silhouette]: Jasmine. [Overdrive] [Assassin]. [Inventory] Ebony, Ivory. Exa, alter my rounds between a regular hollow point and {Restore] rounds.'
[Understood.]
[[Wizard] setting shifting to [Assassin]. [Assassin] levels up to [Master Assassin].]
[[Knight] setting shifting to [Assassin]. [Master Assassin] levels up to [Shadowblade].]
"LIMITLESS! WE REALLY WILL KILL THEM! STOP!"
When the Dorian's group saw pull out my black and white USP Matches they tensed up. They reminded of cats that were on edge. The type that bolted if you took another step into their direction.
Wordlessly, I raised both .45 ACP pistols and fired. My targets? The forehead of all the hostages. I doubled tapped each Reaper in the head. The first one shot caused the backs of their heads to explode in a bloody ss, the second round was angled an inch to the right which slamd against their brains.
In less than five seconds all six hostages collapsed on the ground. The Noble Vampires froze in fear as they looked at in disbelief. Not many could bla them. Normally, hostages were extrely useful to control your opponents.
"You got one thing wrong you fucking blood sucking oversized ticks. They are not my n. And even if they were. I would still shoot them…"
"W-Wha…"
Nurous vampires and Nobles began to draw away from slowly. It was as if they didn't want to see them leave. Sadly. That was not going to happen.
"Exa, mark every single blood sucker in this place. Ignore the Ghouls."
[Understood. Remaining Rank B Noble Vampires are 546. Remaining Rank C Vampires 10,280.]
"Exa, make a stronger version of [War Cry]. One that can turn the Rank C Vampires feral."
[There is no need. We can just increase the souls to be consud by [War Cry]. The upper limit is 100,000 souls. That would be enough.]
"Great do it."
I then felt my body suddenly getting lightheaded. The feeling was similar to when I used {Fate Breaker} but much easier to endure.
[The Armory has been retrofitted with Sacreds. [War Cry] prid and ready. You may begin my lord.]
"{HEAR YOU FUCKING MOSQUITO BASTARDS! I AM NOT HERE TRAPPED WITH YOU! YOU ARE TRAPPED HERE WITH !} OPEN FUCKING COMBAT!"
'{Blink}.'
I teleported in front of Dorian and stabbed Ebony under his jaw and Ivory into his heart.
"W-WAI"
Two blessed rounds ripped apart his face and his ribcage. But the Noble Vampire didn't die and tried to dash away. Only for to see in my mind, exactly which path he was going to take.
Without any hesitation, I shifted my guns to his escape route and emptied my magazines. In [Shadowblade] I moved faster than I could think. By combining it with Jas' combat clairvoyance, I could preemptively fire on a location before the target could even get there.
