Limitless The Strongest Revenant

I then felt a gentle warmth from my {kindred} link. It was rejuvenating and pleasant, as if the whole world was made of sunshine and rainbows. It was the soul of the man I loved most.

'My {Kindred}, I love you all.'

The amount of affection that raged on our link would be enough to make anyone believe in true love. Something must have happened for him to suddenly feel such emotions. Influenced by the positive feelings, I replied at the same moment.

'Of course you do! How could you not, Honey? Hehe, kidding! love you!'

I looked around and saw that all the girls were similarly giddy with happiness. Honey's random outpouring of affection was like a drug, it practically fried our dopamine receptors with immense bliss. Fortunately, it was all happening in our souls, so there was no danger.

Such affection was not something I was willing to lose. If Honey made it practically impossible to move without his notice, then it should be fine even if we did move.

"Ma, tell me where to go. I will get you there without setting foot out of this room."

[VanillaTitties: Should we tell Beloved first? He might not like us taking Ma for a stroll.]

[TieMeUpAndPayRent: I will never let anything touch a hair on her head. I would rather die than allow it. Shujin can rest easy.]

[TwoBrainCellCatgirl: Aki, stop being stupid. Possum will be sad if you are so eager to croak. He would go nuts if something happened to you. Stop risking your life all the time, you bogan!]

[SadistInNeedOfABeating: Husband would know even if we leave. I can feel his eyes on me all the time. If we are in danger, he will come.]

[ChildhoodStripper: I know, right? I should be creeped out, but instead it feels so wonderful! I even try to tease him. Darling's reactions are so cute!]

[AbuseMakesMeWet: Focus everyone, our current goal is to understand what Ma said so cryptically earlier.]

"Thank you, Bella, here is the address."

The Simmons matriarch handed me a small slip of paper. When I checked the location with a satellite, I found that it was at our wedding venue. Specifically, the woods behind our makeshift church.

Not sure what to make of it, I shared the details with the rest of the Sirens. I raised my hands and opened a {Portal} to the location. Since the {Portal} required meticulous calculations, I was the best Siren for long-distance travel, aside from Lilly.

When Ma saw the portal, she nodded in understanding. Especially when she saw the other end. Seeing Noelle's apprehension, Liv gently took her hand and led our mother-in-law through the {Portal}.

"Wow, it is dark. I should have bought a flashlight."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The girls and I took out our GRI's and tried to light the area. My mother-in-law did the same, leading the way. The rest of us followed and eventually got to the area around the church. It was dark. It was cold. But no one cared at the moment.

Noelle led us behind the church into a part of the woods. She began to search the trunk of every tree.

"Ma, is there something you are looking for? It will be faster if we help," Aki offered.

"It's okay, it's nearby. Give me a moment."

Noelle finally led us to a meadow that appeared out of nowhere. Then she stopped and tried to dig up part of the ground. Then she pulled out what looked like a shrunken skull.

The girls and I felt our hair stand on end. The skull she was holding was not from an animal or a human. But it had traces of soul!

"Before I begin, do you have any {Fate} that can see or display a person's memories? Or maybe memories of a place?"

The girls and I looked at each other and nodded. Lilly and I raised our hands and opened two portals. Jo and Jas came into the portals and got the people we needed.

When they came out, Van Micron and Constance Faye were with us.

Liv then ordered them in a serious tone. "Van, Connie. What you see tonight will not leave your lips. Swear it or I will kill you right now."

The Valkyrie unleashed a death resonance uncharacteristic of her gentle personality. It seems that she, like me, was uneasy with the misshapen skull.

[Exa, my scans with {Imaging} gave me nothing. Do you know what animal this skull belongs to?]

[Lady Bella, it does not appear to be from Earth. It matches some entries in the Academics' bestiary.]

So our hunch was right, even though we didn't know what the skull was. It was from Hellgate.

Van and Connie took an oath of silence and went to work.

"My ladies, am I correct in assuming that this is the place you wish to investigate?"

The girls and I nodded quickly, prompting him to begin.

"I will be using the latest version of my {fate} {Mind Trace}. It will allow me to see the memories that have infused this place with malice and soul. Here I go. {Spirit Probe}."

A green light began to glow with Van at its center. And a scene appeared in the light. It suddenly showed us what looked like a replay of this very place in the past. Birds, animals and people came and went in the meadow.

"Ah, I found something. It left an especially strong impression. Let me pull it up."

The playback speed increased until it stopped. What we saw was a beaten 12-year-old John Smith crawling on the ground. He was bleeding and couldn't use his hand.

"Possum!" "Robyn! That is not real! It happened in the past!" "His left arm is broken, multiple lacerations..." "WHY IS DARLING LIKE THAT?!" "HUSH! I know how you feel, but be quiet!" "Van. Play it. Now."

The visions were so real that the girls were all affected. If it were not for Noelle, they would probably be flooding this area with death resonance by now.

The video showed what looked like a man with hollow eyes. He was carrying three monsters that looked like deformed fetuses. He was smiling so broadly that his cheeks tore apart.

'A demon...' was all I could think.

The man in the memory began to speak.

"It's a shame you had to see that. But well, life sucks. You seem beefy enough. Let my children have a bite." He then placed them on the ground, and the fetuses transformed into deformed-looking pale humanoids with sharp claws.

[This is the monster that left the skull. A Rack C Poroniec. An inhabitant of the Hellsgate that can invade Earth.]

The monsters slowly approached Honey. He began to cry as he desperately crawled away. Even as he cried, Honey kept repeating two phrases.

"Haa...I cannot die...Sniff...I will have a family...huff..."

Our hearts broke when we saw his pathetic condition. What's more, one of the Poroniecs grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Your next read awaits at empire

"Say good night, little boy. I hope you have better luck in your next life."

It took everything in me not to draw and shoot the monster that touched my {Kindred}. But before we could do anything, something happened.

Honey's eyes lit up like stars as he suddenly buried his good arm in Poroniec's head. Then he ripped out its brain like it was made of paper. Seemingly channeling overwhelming power, Honey proceeded to massacre the monsters with only his right arm.

Eventually, he came for the demon, who collapsed to the ground in terror.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

But Honey said nothing and decapitated the man with one sweep of his arm. Black blood splattered everywhere. That was when Noelle suddenly appeared.

"Dipshit? W-what? What is going on? What have you done?"

{Do not speak of this to anyone. Only to those this child will wed in the future. Remember this Noelle Simmons. I will be watching.}

Honey suddenly collapsed immediately after that.

The memory then went on to show Noelle taking Honey away. Later, she returned to clean up and bury the man and the monsters. It was only then that my mother-in-law finally spoke.

"Now you know the truth. That was 14 years ago. Even then, Dipshit was never normal."
