The Death Seekers. A moniker given to the rcenaries to marginalize what we were. It was a known fact that people tried to generalize what they didn't understand. If soone did sothing that didn't make sense, few would be able to call themselves ignorant, instead the one who did would be called crazy.
If they diverged from the status quo, they were eccentric. If they tried to do things unheard of, they would be called stupid. It didn't matter what the actions were nor what they represented, it all boiled down to how it was understood.
So how should people understand the term, Death Seekers?
One who sought death. It was easy to die. Just a bullet to the head or a knife to the heart would do the job. Drinking poison or throwing yourself from a high enough place would lead one to the sa result. There were infinitely so many ways to leave this world it was comical.
In truth, it took way more to live that it did to die. This was true for humans at it was for Reapers. So just what kind of lifestyle would rcenaries have to have lived in order to be called Death Seekers?
Our responsibilities revolved around reclaiming fallen zones and reinforcing ones of the verge of defeat. It was understandable that few would willingly choose to go to battle in the most horrible of circumstances. I actually only t two of them.
Robert Acwellan the Slayer and Dominic Maegester the Machiavelli. While I was uncertain how a coward like Dominic could join, Robert was extrely similar to . After all the bastard willingly incubated a demon in his body for revenge. It was hard to call anyone sane after hearing that.
I on the other hand beca a Death Seeker for the simple purpose that it was what would allow to fulfill my objective. After I vowed to Lilly to kill as much zombies as I can, my goal was simple. To close Hellsgate by killing everything within it.
But life was never so straight forward. While I was busying myself with Hellsgate the other battlefronts intended to attack my ho. Though many considered OP, I couldn't defeat entire armies alone. I needed help. If I could get the Death Seekers as support, I was sure they would be worth more than even the assault teams.
The answer to your plight lies in your blood, rember this when hope seems distant. Also set your mind at peace, I have brought reinforcents for Hell's Eden. South Arica will begin their assault in 3 days. Your garden will not fall. Wrath, Envy, Gluttony and Sloth shall grow with their blood.
The Astrologer never said my girls back ho would win. She only said Hell's Eden would not fall. And that Bella and the rest would grow stronger. How they would survive nor what they would need to sacrifice in order to push South Arican back were never ntioned.
The Sirens of the Anvil team while incredibly powerful were still only Phantoms. After seeing the vast differences the change in ranks did for Lilly, I could never underestimate a Specter ever again.
Just how many Specters were part of the South Arican army? Aside from Lilly, Eva Baker was our only Specter. Could she handle them all alone? What if the way for them to win was to call on the Death Seekers? What if we would fail our defenses if we didn't call on them?
Nothing was set in stone; thus, I didn't know what the right course of action was.
The only thing that I was certain of was that the Specters I all fought were toying with . In the past, I thought I had given as I good as I got. But I now know how arrogant I was.
Lilly was able to decapitate three Rank A in a single mont. Sothing even thousands of Rank B Noble Vampires couldn't do.
This was why the Vampires intentionally kept their conspiracy beyond the domain of the Specters. The gap in power was just too great. And as I saw their tactics, I surmised that the Noble Vampires intended to just run away from the Specters. They intended to use their numbers to protect them.
Zach, the conniving bastard, made sure to highlight that the Anvil team was struggling against the Specters of South Arica. His words were simple. Share all the knowledge we gained in exchange for support. Behind the Nightmare was the Death Seekers. Indirectly he also ant, I could call on their Specters if necessary.
'Exa, how many active Specters does the Death Seekers has?'
Aside from the Assault teams, only the Death Seekers had Specters. While Phantoms burned out quite often, they still defended. Specters on the other hand retired completely. Eva, Xander and Raymond and Rolland were good examples. Thus, having a force of active Specters was a huge accomplishnt!
[My lord, the Death Seekers has 27 active Specters.]
Twenty fucking seven. No wonder Robert for all his power couldn't even enter the top 40 of the rcenaries in ranking. There were almost thirty of them who could wipe the floor with him. What kind of power would such a force bring?
I clenched my teeth from annoyance. I vowed I would never bow down to ask for their help, but the safety of my girls changed everything. If it ant their safety, even my pride was a cheap price to pay.
I was about to accept when Liv suddenly appeared in front of .

"Thank you for your offer. But Hellsend has no need for the Death Seekers."
A flat-out refusal, I couldn't even get a word in before the two by my sides echoed her sentints.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lynch, but it is unnecessary. The fact that you had yet to try and help them ans my sisters are doing well. My Dearest is a bit overprotective, please stop teasing him."
"Hellsend and the remaining Sirens can hold, Nightmare. Just as Husband and our party of eight managed to stop the Vampire conspiracy, my sisters will protect our ho. Do not underestimate them."
"…"
In response to Zach's silence, Lilly added with a laugh.
"Fufu, I find it extrely hilarious Mr. Lynch. You thank us for stopping the conspiracy yet ask for paynt in defending the 24th floor. I am sure you are aware how horrible it would be if any other battlefront managed to claim a floor in North Arica's domain."
"Shaless. It seems Aricans lack any decency to return goodwill. Husband, let us go. There is no need to waste ti here."
"You brats all are forgetting that your forces are not part of North Arica any longer. I turned a blind eye as your people warped into the 30th floor. I could consider it as an invasion if I wanted to. My hands are tied. Compensating you even if you did help is against the rules."
Jas scoffed at Zach's explanation then pulled away. I found my girl's words to be true, thus I didn't bother to resist and stayed quiet. Lilly followed us while Liv stood between Zach and like a wall. My Princess' words only confird what I already knew.
'David has no intention of coddling . He could care less if the 24th floor was taken. It was wise to not consider him as an ally. To a Revenant, a single punch was all he needed to take it back after all.'
As we were about to leave, Zach made an audible sigh as he snapped his fingers. A seemingly simple action led Exa to reach out to in excitent.
[My lord. Warp restrictions for the 32nd, 31st and 30th floors have been lifted for our party. We can take a long-distance warp back to the 24th floor.]
Hearing her words I turned around and looked at the commander of the Death Seekers. I kind of forgot about it, but to start a new life on the 24th floor ant to abandon North Arica. Thus, it made sense that we could no longer do as we please.
'I suppose, we need to sit down in the future about terms for usage of their Warp gates and stuff, right?'
'Hardly, Bella is the most skilled negotiator among us, Beloved. I am certain she will get us the best terms for the exchange. It would be wise to just leave it to her.'
'Hmph. Negotiator is putting it kindly. That lazy big boob twit is a scamr! Still, Liv is right, she is the most excellent person for the role. By the way Dearest, as we lie on a shared floor, we do not technically have to dive deeper on the North Arican Battlefront. We can instead go to the other continents.'
'Huh? What do you an?' I asked in confusion.
