Limitless The Strongest Revenant

But perhaps the worst of all was in marriages. The very concept was in the vows. "Till death do us part." But with the acceptance of divorce, that statement became null and void.

I had no idea why people still said "till death do us part" in marriages. In reality, it was basically, "Till I can\'t put up with your shit". To me, something I learned from Noelle, until one of you dies, it should be illegal to take your words back.

Just like I didn\'t propose with diamonds. I thought about that when I fell in love with the Sirens. "Till death do us part" meant nothing to Reapers. Anyone who saw Isolde would understand how deeply Reapers fell in love.

Xander and Zach were the same way. The former decided to go to war with a Revenant for his wife. While the latter kept his wife even though she could not give him children.

Reapers were not human. So there was no need to worry about human customs. Unlike humans, Reapers never talked just for the sake of talking. When we said something, we fucking meant it.

How many politicians would be killed if someone actually enforced their oaths? How many judges, doctors, lawyers, and businessmen would be put to death for violating the very principles they swore to uphold?

That is why I swore not like a man, but like a Reaper.

My vow was simple.

I love you beyond all measure. Except for the Sirens, I will have no other. Those they love, I will love. Those they hate, I will kill. There was no in-between. As long as I drew breath, as long as I continued to exist.

No matter who I was, am, or will become.

And the moment I broke that vow, I should be put to death and forgotten. I didn\'t know how the black pieces of paper would enforce the clauses, but I didn\'t care. This was what I wanted the world to know. What I wanted the girls to know.

But the next moment, the black pieces of paper began to burn. The fires were not hot, but the Seeker\'s vows suddenly turned to ashes.

Caught up in the moment, I did not see that the world had turned gray. It was similar to the feeling I get when I cast {Codes} Bullet Time. Except for me, everyone seemed to be frozen in time. But a heavy feeling forced me to look up.

A terrifying number of souls were being sucked out of the air. Smoke, like the noxious fumes one would see from a fire, flowed like water in the air of the church. Then I saw the smoke suddenly coalesce and solidify into black metallic chains.

They flew toward me and the Sirens like flying snakes. I used all seven of my bodies to shield my brides. I didn\'t know what those things were, but they felt evil.

"!!!!", I tried to summon my {Fates}, but I couldn\'t, it was as if I had lost my ability to use souls!

Feeling that I had to at least protect my girls, I stood between them and the seven chains. I felt a strong impact on all my bodies. Fortunately, I wasn\'t blown away.

I then felt something enter my torsos. When I looked around, all my bodies had what appeared to be a worm trying to enter our stomachs. The sound of metal chains clattering against each other echoed.

An immense weight settled over my heart. It was suffocating, as if a heavy stone had been placed over my lungs. Along with a clicking sound, the oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared.

When I checked, I had no injuries to speak of. Lifting my head, I tried to find the dark clouds, but I could not. I didn\'t know when, but I began to hear the chatter of the reapers in the church.

It seemed that time had returned to normal.

\'FUCK! Was that how the Seeker\'s Vow worked?! That was fucking terrifying!\'

The girls were all surprised when they noticed my restlessness. The fear I felt made my whole body tremble. Of course, the girls knew that something made me this way.

"My love, what just happened? You were trying to protect me from something, weren\'t you? Are you hurt?"

"Dearest, are you all right? Something went through the air! But I couldn\'t see it!"

"Possum, something heavy hit you from behind, is your back, okay?"

"Darling, what did you see? I heard chains. Did an enemy come?"

"Honey! Look at me! Focus. You\'re okay. Breathe. Was it because of the Seeker\'s Vow?

Tell me what you saw."

"Husband. Calm down, I am here. What was that? I saw snakes entering your body!"

"Shujin, the air from earlier seemed oppressive. Did a demon come? And why are you shaking?"

My girls all grabbed my hands and tried to make sure I was okay. From their words, it seemed that the chains were something that no one knew about.

Jas saw it, Jo heard it. Robyn and Lilly felt it. Liv and Aki deduced it from my reaction. While only Bella figured out that it was related to the Seeker\'s Vow.

"..."

I tried to open my mouth to speak, but no words came out. Just then a voice entered my mind. It was the voice of the bastard who tortured me for fun.

{Do not speak of what you have seen. Not to them or anyone. Less they be put in danger.}

\'{Rewind}? Danger? What was that? Do you know?\'

{You are far too weak. I will tell you when you become a Specter. But know that this matter is dangerous and must be handled with caution. Simply put, that was the enforcer of your Seeker\'s Vow. It will be the one who will kill you if you break your words.}

\'Ugh, so there really was such a thing?\'

{You really are a fool. Shackling yourself to such a dangerous thing for a bunch of women is something I will never understand.}

\'Do I get something for the chain? Like a power-up or something?\'

{No.}

After saying his piece, {Rewind}\'s presence suddenly vanished. I forced my body to calm down. My girls all looked at me with worried eyes. There were murmurs and whispers as people wondered what had just happened.

I fixed up my posture and knelt beside my harem and caressed the anxious faces of my brides. Even though their expressions were veiled, their beauty was still mesmerizing.

"I am fine, I will tell you later. Let us continue with the wedding." x7

While they had questions, the girls nodded and followed my words. Funnily enough, they were all now clinging to my side, as if to protect me.

My avatars gestured to Phillip to continue the ceremony. Knowing that no good would come from asking what was going on, he coughed to get everyone\'s attention before continuing.

"Ehem, now that our lord has completed his vow. My ladies, it is your turn. Please pledge your commitment and affection to your family, to the heavens, and to all present."

The girls then all held my hands and turned toward the center aisle. Pixie stepped forward at that moment. She was dressed like a flower girl and carrying a small box.

I looked into the box with {Imaging} and saw a pair of cufflinks with the faces of Grim Reapers on them.

My {Vassal} then opened up the box and raised the small box in her hands towards the Sirens and me.

Wondering what this was for, my girls all spoke to the John Smiths at their sides.
