Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 45: Give me your blood.



I spent the rest of the time checking each firearm in the armory. The sounds of metal clicking into place, along with the smell of gun oil was just the best. It was like ASMR that cleansed my very being.

"Dear, you have been making that weird face for each gun you check, I am starting to feel jealous!" complained the beautiful woman with me.

Lilly, who got bored 10-minutes in and sat on the pallet rack with a pout. As much as I found her pretty. There was just something about guns that made me feel like a man.

The armory in total had one assault rifle, one shotgun, three Submachine guns, one sniper rifle, one general purpose machine gun, four pistols and one revolver.

Engrossed in my own paradise, I noted the states of each firearm of the Smith armory. They were all in excellent shape, well-oiled with even the springs preserved in good condition.

The ammunition was stored neatly in the smaller cases separated by caliber. A pleasant surprise was I even found one of the small cases with a dozen M26 fragmentation grenades.

"Wait! Aren't these illegal? Well, I guess we were well past that point."

America, while considered lax in its gun laws, kept a fine line between civilians and the military. Basically, civilians are not allowed to wield guns that went full auto. And there were three violators in this armory. The AR15, a Heckler and Koch MP5SD and the M60.

The HK MP5SD was part of the MP5 platform of sub machine guns that fired 9×19mm Parabellum rounds. The MP5 became the symbol of counter terrorism forces due to its excellent track record.

'I mean if the French GIGN, British SAS and the German GSG9 all thought so they couldn't have been all idiots, right?'

It fired low powered handgun ammunition to prevent the bullets from punching through walls making it perfect to be used in crowded buildings. The MP5 was so well known even owning one was a challenge for a civilian! And dad had the SD version which had a built-in suppressor!

The M60 on the other hand was a belt-fed general purpose machine gun loaded with 7.62×51mm NATO rounds. This baby has been in service since the 50's and was made famous by Rambo. It had the power to suppress a small area and rip apart any who tried to enter its firing range.

Normally you need two people to use an M60, one to carry the gun and another for the ammunition and spare barrels. Due to using a higher caliber, the M60 would pierce the wall, the target and the wall behind him.

Lilly approached and took the M60. It was smaller than her greatsword but if given a box of ammunition it would be heavier If I was to guess. I remembered if loaded it was around 26 lbs. or something. As a teenager I got thrown off by that thing as it was really heavy. The blue haired phantom carried the gun one hand and kept it tucked to her side.

"This one is the only one that interests me. Can I have this?"

"I thought reapers hated guns," I asked in confusion.

"Yes, they do, because a gun cannot get blessed. But I intended to keep this as a memento not as a weapon."

"Tell you what, the day you tell the world you are Formless that thing is yours, but until then I need everything at my disposal."

With an adorable pout Lilly placed the gun back on the case and sulked on one side.

"Such a cheapskate. Who knows when that would be?"

At times like this, I forget that this woman had the power to slice apart zombie hordes. Right now, Lilly just looked like a regular woman whose beauty lit up the world. Unknowingly I reached out and spoke words of comfort.

"Wait for me. I will kick so much zombie ass by the time I am done, being Formless would be like a badge of honor."

Lilly then made a brilliant smile as she cheered up. "Then I shall fervently await for that day to arrive dear."

Taken aback by her allure, I turn away and returned the guns back into their cases. After a few moments of silence, I changed the topic.

"Hmm, looks like I need to call an uber or something. I want to take everything with me, but I would need a pickup."

A small sedan definitely was out. It could maybe fit a van, but a pickup felt better. As I only became rich less than an hour ago, I took the metro to come here and didn't have a car. The problem now was how to get this stuff back to my apartment.

Just then my cheeks got caressed by a soft hand with slim fingers. "Dear, if it's logistics that is my forte. Just ask me and I will fulfill your request."

Her seductive voice and amorous eyes drew me in. Like under a spell I nodded my head and asked helplessly.

"Please help me bring all this home Lilly."

"Good boy. {Stock}."

At her words a felt a large number of souls in the air. The Pelican protectors then "fell" into what looked like space distortions. As a gamer a single term came at the forefront of my mind.

"INVENTORY! HOLY SHIT!"

Taken aback by my reaction, Lilly flinched and gazed at me with cautiousness. I quickly approached her and held both her hands. Perhaps surprised by my aggressive demeanor the woman looked away with flush cheeks.

"LILLY! Please give me your blood! I will trade with you as much as you need!"

"What? Are you really that impressed by my {fate}?"

"OF COURSE, I AM! It is amazing! Please swap {fates} with me!"

"Oh…Is that so."

The woman then began staring at her shoes in embarrassment. Why the hell was she acting like this? Did she not trade with others before?

"Kiss me…"

It was barely audible, but I caught Lilly's whisper with {Listen}. Not believing what I heard I asked in reflex.

"What?"

"Kiss me, John Smith. If you do, I will give you my {fate}."

So, she wanted to learn everything about {Rewind} huh. I guess that was fair. To someone like me, a hammer space I could store weapons in would be invaluable. What was a kiss compared to that?

"Okay," I answered curtly.

I approached her and held her lower back to bring her even closer. Despite being dominating in other areas Lilly acted meekly like a kitten in my embrace.

'Well, whatever here goes.'

As our lips touched, I kissed her conservatively. But like an engine who already finished warming up, the woman in my arms wrapped her arms around my neck as she invaded my mouth with her tongue.

While I was no expert, her inexperience became obvious by how clumsy she was. No one was born good at everything, so I calmly guided her as our tongues intertwined.

Lilly entrusted her weight to me with her marvelous bosom pressing against my chest. The pleasant feeling made the experience even more electrifying. Between kisses, our ragged breaths showed just how much we were into our short exchange.

At that point a searing heat entered my brain. A new {fate} downloaded and reluctantly I pulled away for our objective was completed.

Lilly similarly closed her eyes and seemed to be in pain. I only saw Bella scream when she downloaded {Rewind}. In contrast I couldn't see Liv's face so when we kissed, I didn't know if she suffered as well.

In worry I tried to ask if the phantom was in pain.

"Lilly! Lilly! Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

A finger then pressed against my lips as the woman focused on regaining her composure.

"What a ridiculous {fate}. Now I understand how you were able to charm so many. A lesser woman would have died from such a burden. What in the world did you regret so much for {Rewind} to be born dear?"

Unable to answer I silently brushed her back to help her calm down. After a few moments the elegance she originally had returned in all its glory. When it did, I stepped away from her to give her some space.

"Here, test if you can use {Store} now. {Withdraw}."

At her words all Pelican protectors appeared neatly stacked on top one another. Lilly's {fate} was named {Store}. She could put nonorganic objects into a pocket dimension where time stopped. {Store's} next abilities were {Retrieve}, {Stock}, and {Withdraw}.

{Retrieve} allowed one to bring out items from the storage. {Stock} and {Withdraw} were super versions of {Store} and {Retrieve}. The latter pair needed Lilly to touch the objects. The improved versions didn't and had a range of 100 yards. Her ability was astounding from a logistical standpoint.

"May I ask how you did all those water-based attacks then? None of your abilities allow such manipulation. Was it aided by a Soulgear or something?"

"No, those were the fruits of my labor. I have over a swimming pool's worth of water stored. I control the exit hole of the storage with {Retrieve}. If I make a small hole the water becomes pressurized, if I squeeze the water using spacial distortions, I can manipulate it a number of ways."

So, she only controlled the hole and let physics do the rest? Amazing. Such fine-tuned manipulation showed just how much effort she devoted to mastering {Store}. Just how many spacial distortions did she need to make to form a snake out of water? I was in awe of her hard work and perseverance.

"That is amazing. You are indeed worthy of respect Lilly."

"Do you see me in a better light now dear?"

"I do. Your life and your abilities are proof of how much you struggled. I admire you greatly."

Lilly, then came closer and pulled the collar of my shirt towards her.

"Then take responsibility for taking my first kiss. Make me your kindred."
