Chapter 538 Who gives a shit? [1/2]
Tildi was excitedly hopping in place. People would probably assume that she was happy because she aced a test. Or maybe because she got a confession from her crush. But in truth? It was because this frail looking woman's request was approved.
The request was to leave the Minerva's Wizards. A special group tasked with reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, Wizards were rarely in the heat of combat. But that was not what Matilda Cassy wished for. Rather safety she wished for power.
And that desire manifested in her current request. To leave the back lines and join Vela's Wolves. The wolves currently operated as a Hellsend's commando unit. Unlike the 2nd Amendment that held the line, they were the ones that pushed it forward.
As Jo's personal unit, from the few times I seen them in combat, they were beyond ferocious. Comprised of Saints this unit was purely fanatical in their blood lust. A great example was their stint with the Rank E Giants.
I personally fought a giant in close quarters. They hit hard and were nearly impervious to bullets. Yet the wolves willingly charged into them with only XM7's. From little girls who had a bad hand they were one of the growing powerhouses in sheer number of Phantoms.
And that was the unit Tildi wanted to join. Needless to say the wolves get injured a lot but thanks to {Rewind} no one has died yet. But that fact didn't matter to the clerk in front of me. It was insane from every conceivable point of view.
And I wasn't the only one who thought about it.
Mia quickly approached Tildi and grabbed her by both her arms.
"What the hell are you saying girl! Are you daft? Limitless and his harem is one thing, but why are you so eager to die as well!"
However contrary to what she expected, Tildi instead answered with a sharp retort.
"Unhand me please. You are neither my lord nor my superior. Your opinion has no importance to me. I join the Wolves as I want to serve my lord as his sword. To a slave like me, I was given the ability to get stronger. The dignity and honor I reclaimed belong solely to my lord, Limitless!"
Death resonance began to erupt from Tildi. Her skirt began to flutter as her hair rose to the skies. Seeing the seriousness of my clerk, Amari quickly came forward and pulled his lover back.
A hand quickly smacked Tildi from the back. Comically the woman lost all her ferocity and looked back, hurt. Her expression was sad, and her voice was like a puppy's pitiful whimper.
"Ouch…My lady…"
The hand then began to brush the clerk's head as if it was stroking a cat, and not a human.
"Do not use resonance so easily, Lil sis. I appreciate your loyalty to Darling. But only I get to decide when a wolf dies. Understood?"
"Yes…I'm sorry, my lady."
Jo then tenderly embraced Tildi tightly.
"Hush you are a wolf now. You are my Lil sis. Call me big sis."
"Yes! Big sis!" Tildi chirped in happiness.
Meanwhile the rest of the Sirens had complicated expressions.
"Strewth! I wanted her for hellcats! Get stuffed Jo! You practicality take all my recruits!"
"I can sympathize, she was among the top performers second only to Van among the Wizards. Luckily she likes Wilfred Vance otherwise I would have buried her given how close she is with Honey."
"But her {fate} makes her fit for my unit, Freyja's bulwark. Why would the hellcats or wizards need someone like her? If I cannot have her, the wolves are the next best fit."
"Good grief, yet another problem I need to solve. At this rate I will be the only one without a unit! I should gather them quickly before Dearest begins his campaign."
"Cheer up Lilly. I have yet to form mine either. I had yet to find anyone who passes my standards. As Husband's wife, my unit must be held to a higher standard."
"Jas, your test is impossible for anyone one without {Limitless}. The only people who would clear your requirements are Sirens and Shujin himself."
As the Sirens and Tildi began to chat amongst themselves I walked towards Amari and Mia.
"Just for the record, I didn't ask them to be like this. It just happened. This was why they came with me to fight Andromalius. I don't care even if you believe me. But I have one question."
Amari nodded as he replied. "Ask."
"Even if I helped you. You are only a Phantom; how would you even take on the powers of a Revenant? Is that only for 'The Immortal' or is moving bodies common of all the other sovereigns."
"I do not know. The abilities and {Fates} of each Revenant are closely guarded secret. If my father didn't feel he would reach his limit soon, I wouldn't have known. And sorry, I am among the least connected Princes, so I really don't know much beyond what is expected of me. "
"I see, I guess that could only expected. Well, was there anything else you wish to discuss?"
Amari furrowed his eyebrows before speaking again after a moment of contemplation.
"Limitless, I thank you for your decision to help my situation, but can you please not go to war with the ENSAE army? Maybe if you let me speak with them. If I have something tangible like a lot of Devil's remains they might reconsider."
"Is that really what you think?"
"Yes, if you allow me to take a few I can convince them to halt the invasion! There is really no need for our peoples to come to war. They just need a little bit of the remains and they will leave."
"Amari. You are a fucking moron. You should stick to being a gorilla. If Jo and Jas didn't say that they liked you and your woman. I would have shot you just now," I said coldly.
"What? It was literally the best choice! This way no blood needs to be shed…"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Hearing his pathetic excuses for diplomacy I walked towards him until we were face to face. He was taller than me, maybe around Liv's height, but I didn't care.
"Amari, for a second let's believe that your idiocy has merit. Say I give you ten devil's remains what would happen afterwards," I asked with a sneer.
"Then the ENSAE could be convinced to stand down. With the ten remains we will be arm ten of our Specters and improve our positions."
Hearing his logical reply I nodded but then continued.
"And then?"
"What do you mean and then? That's it."
"Amari, you think like a prince. If you are pretending to be stupid, I suggest you stop. Otherwise even after I kill the demon, I refuse to support you to become the Revenant."
My words caused the temperature in the room to drop. Mia then touched her lover's arm as she explained mournfully.
"Once Africa gets a taste of getting Devil's remains just for scaring North America. They will do it again if only to get more. And next time they will raise the number just to see how far North America is willing to bend. After they gained everything they possibly could through intimidation, they will still go to war afterwards."
"Exactly. If it was Australia, they might listen for ten remains but Africa? Why would they? If I had command of the 2nd most powerful reaper force in the world, I would just pillage North America for all she was worth. This is why the US does not negotiate with terrorists. Because there can be no end."
"…"
"There is only one thing people like that understand. And that is overwhelming force. I am an American. If you want anything I own. Take it if you can. The same goes for your people.
If they wish to take my resources by force, they are welcome to try. But I will make sure to fuck them up so badly they never even look my way ever again."
