Chapter 365: Already on it [2/2]
"Limitless was a visionary." "He is our hope." "My lord pays well compared to others." "He told us the truth no one else wanted to say."
She then questioned Cynthia and Addison, who were coordinating the ten graves. They replied with extremely greedy smiles.
"Limitless? He's our golden goose!" "Here here! As long as he shows up, the money just keeps rolling in!"
'How typical of production reapers,' I couldn't help thinking.
After that, Connie showed some footage of me blasting the undead with the FT5. You could barely see it in the promo, but every time I shouldered the launcher, I had a smile on my face.
Originally, I thought Lilly was hopeless because she turned off {Endure} to feel the recoil. But I ended up doing the same thing when it came to firing 95mm HEAT warheads. The rush of a warhead exiting the barrel was unlike anything I had ever experienced.
The reporter's footage used a drone perspective, so most of my combat was overlooking me from the sky. Still, aside from my gun kata and the occasional gun change, nothing else was shown.
[Artem_Ville: See? This video is fake! The weapon he uses is an Australian Thales F90 MBR. It only has a max capacity of 30 rounds! He has been shooting on full auto for over a minute now!]
[AlphonseDoomhammer: Dude, that fucker's a Chunni. Look at those fucking poses. He obviously does it for the views!]
[Viajante_de_Papel: Can the mods mute these guys? They post shit and it gets annoying.]
[DeathWalker: Look you bastards, can you all just go away? Stop watching if you don't like it!]
The comments were still all over the place. I'm not sure if it was Connie's intention, but this promo didn't really show much about how I fight. It was more about why.
Connie then interviewed Joshua, Santiago and Claire. The commanders who were resting. She asked the same questions as before.
[My lord will fight until the day he dies. And I, along with the 2nd Amendment, will follow him at every step.]
[WOW! Such loyalty, as expected of Squad Commander Joshua!] Connie praised.
[Senora, that is not this hombre's reason. El-hefe saved us all once. Ask any sane puto, if they find a boss that would mount a rescue mission for Formless Wraiths, we would follow that hombre for life, I say.]
[I agree with Brother Santi. No matter your race, no matter your gender or your {Fate}. Patron requires only one thing. The will to fight. My sisters and I were production saints before all this. Now we too can make a difference.]
[I worked as a cartographer for the Adventures. Until some pendejo decided to bury me alive. Then El-hefe saved me.]

[Wow, that's really amazing! What about you, Commander Joshua?]
[I was, uh. Used as a mounted Calvary.]
[Oh! You mean like a knight or a lancer?]
[No. Uh. I was the horse.]
[...]
[I'm formless, so I had to get any job I could.]
[Your work ethic is amazing, Commander Joshua.]
At that point, Santiago and Claire started laughing like mad at Joshua's dark story. The Asian remained stoic, maintaining his dignity even as they made fun of him.
To an outsider, there was one thing that stood out about the people that Connie interviewed. None of them had faces covered in fear. They were excited, happy, laughing, or downright joyful.
Surprisingly, there was no footage of the Sacred Salvo or the {Portals}. However, there were some of the wolves wreaking havoc on a bunch of Rank E cyclops.
Connie didn't try to influence the viewer with words, she did it by showing the people of Hellsend.
Towards the end of the video, Connie approached Bella. I'm not sure when this was, but for some reason I wasn't there.
[Hello Tactician Minerva, Connie Faye Graveyard News! Can you say a few words, please?]
Bella didn't answer, but waved for the reporter to follow. Connie continued to ask my Brazilian lover some questions about her work, which Bella ignored.
Eventually they reached a dining table where the other Sirens were happily chatting.
My girls looked stunning. They all looked a little sweaty, but they had sweet smiles as they ate. I was a bit mesmerized by the beauty of my harem. Even the chat went silent until someone asked.
[Pancho_Uy: Are you telling me that one Reaper has all these beauties to himself?]
[Kerry_Roberts: Limitless is the enemy of all women]
[DeathWalker: Here here.]
Connie then approached the table in her usual manner.
[Hello everyone, Connie Faye, Graveyard news! Can I get you all to say a few words?]
Jo suddenly stood up and approached the camera. Her dazzling smile, alluring figure and graceful movements commanded the screen.
[I love Darling the most! I am his number one! I will kill anyone who says otherwise.]
[Oy! Slagger, that is a lie! Possum is mine!]
Robyn showed impressive agility as she leapt up the table and tackled Jo off-screen. The video feed took a step back to avoid them. Jas suddenly appeared on the video as she announced in a shy voice.
[Hello everyone, I am the wife of Limitless. I...]
Before she could finish, Jas jumped away as a gunshot rang out. Bella appeared on the screen immediately after and announced as she posed with her 629 revolver.
[Honey still hasn't chosen an official Kindred. But I'm in the lead.]
Suddenly, a figure descended and trampled Bella from above. She gave gratuitous fan service as her breasts jiggled violently. Aki then blew a flying kiss at the camera as she spoke.
[Hello everyone. Ignore this harlot. I am Master's sex slave. I am obviously his favorite].
She then spun away as a large shield smashed into the ground where she was standing. The camera, seeing nothing but the shield, slowly panned upward. The movement revealed Liv's imposing height and fiery beauty.
[Beloved does not have a sex slave. However, he already owns me, body and soul.]
Liv then shifted her shield to the left as a barrage of bullets slowly pushed her to the right. The camera panned to the source of the attack, showing Lilly with an M60.
Lilly tossed her hair arrogantly as she slung the weapon over her shoulder.
[You already know who I am. But that was before. I have no other title now but devoted wife to my dearest.]
The camera then pulled back to show the Sirens all lined up with Lilly in the center.
[We are the Seven Sirens. The kindred of Limitless. Change is coming and we are its harbingers. Fight it or accept it make your choice for our Kindred will never stop moving forward].
The video then showed me standing in the middle of a devastated battlefield. I have to admit, I looked cool. The feed then cut back to Connie holding a microphone.
[As you can see, everyone. I am not going to tell you what to believe. I just wanted to show you what the hype was about. Limitless and Hellsend those are the names on everyone's lips. You are free to make your own assumptions, but I personally feel there is something here.]
"No wonder people called it a promo. Every bit of this video is designed to go viral. Even the Sirens allowed themselves to be used as fan service."
[After all, if even a Revenant acknowledges it. It can't be fake. This is also the first time I have seen Reapers of all professions come under a single banner. Even the Formless and the Manifested exist as equals in this place.]
"I can see why you think Connie misled the people, Exa. She appealed to everyone to keep an eye on Hellsend and me. But instead of telling the viewer why, she just showed a bunch of things as a 3rd party observer."
[Ah! This is all the time we have, thank you for watching! This is Connie Faye Graveyard News].
"Sneaky little bastard. She knows what she is doing."
