BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189: This is my war. [2/2]
"Besides you, only Phillip knows. The LLG and your group are legacies I want to leave behind. Again, I have no plans to die, but if I do. I intend to earn a lot of souls for everyone before I go."
The room fell into a deadly silence as the members of the 2nd A considered their options. It would have a direct impact on their future. Then Warren stood up and stepped forward.
"Nigga, I told you I believe in you, so I will ride this party all the way. Let\'s start cracking heads," he said with a big grin.
I returned his smile and shook his hand, taking a vial of blood for him. After he drank it, he began to arm himself to set up his {Auto}.
Not long after, Mike, Scott and Santiago made the same decision and drank my blood.
Gela and Joshua argued in low voices until the racist woman finally screamed in defeat.
"AHH FACK! OPPA, YOU BETTER FACK ME GOOD LATER! WHITE BOY! LETS GO!"
Joshua said nothing, but lovingly hugged and kissed his wife. After taking her hand, he led her to me and asked in passing.
"John, my wife and I will join you, but we will pass on {Rewind}. We already share {Fates}," the Asian man with the huge cock explained.
My memory said that Joshua\'s soul capacity was at 3/4. As Formless, his own {fate} used one capacity, while Angela\'s, a manifested one, used two.
I, who had a capacity of 8, could take mine plus seven Formless fates from the Sirens.
"It\'s okay, you have the room for it," I replied nonchalantly.
"Huh?"
"Drink my blood and use {Auto}. You will not lose Angela\'s {Fate}. I guarantee it."
I took two vials, dipped them into the cup, and gave both to Angela and Joshua. They cast a few suspicious glances, but eventually drank my blood anyway. After the brief download, both Angela and Joshua confirmed my hypothesis.
"Wow, I really do feel three {Fates}. How did you know?"
"Oppa, are we demons now? I thought the limit was 2?"
"It\'s a trade secret. I\'ll tell you tomorrow."
Clicking her tongue at me, Angela led her husband and picked up the magazines for his sniper rifle. Claire was the only one left and I approached her to get an answer.
"Claire, I did not mean to lie to any of you. I know I invited you, but this is a decision you have to make for yourself. If you decide to back out now, I will understand."
"Patron, I..."
"But know this, Claire, sooner or later the same thing that happened to me could happen to you or someone else. If you do not take charge of your fate, others will do it for you.
"I am not forcing you to do anything, but just know that if you choose to walk away, you will have no one to blame if you lack power in the future."
The production saint took a few moments before finally answering.
"I will join you, Patron, I do not know Savior, but I do know you. Your integrity is something I admire, so I believe you would follow the right path."
I waved my hand in front of her before correcting her assumption.
"Listen, Claire, I am no saint. I kill because I can and because I want to. There is no good or evil among murderers. We are all equal. If you are going to follow me, do it for yourself and not for some misguided, naive notion of justice."
"I understand," the woman replied curtly.
I gave her a vial of my blood and began to divide the remaining vials among the members of the second squad. In total, the cup of my blood was enough to make four vials for seven people.
With everyone locked and loaded, I began to elaborate.
"Okay, for tonight our plan is simple, I will pick a hot zone and we will shoot anything that moves. If we get overwhelmed, I will lead everything away and circle back to our kill zone."
This new plan was based on Maneuver AB.
But instead of just me shooting, the 2nd Squad would blast the hell out of the undead if they tried to overwhelm us.
"You will all have 4 vials of my blood. Three of my {Fates} can be used by Wraiths. {Rewind}, which will reset you, {Reload}, which will replenish all your ammunition, and {Regen}, which will heal all your injuries."
At that moment, I felt my Soul Gem suddenly branch out and connect to seven places. It wasn\'t just me, as everyone in the room flinched when the connection was made.
"Alright, Phillip has completed the application. Now we are officially connected as an army and a commander. From now on, everyone is to refer to me as such. Try not to say my name out loud in the presence of others."
After everyone nodded, I continued with the last part of my explanations.
"Okay, last bit of information. The main benefit of being in my army is that you can use my {Fates} for half the cost. {Rewind} becomes 50 souls, {Reload} 25, and {Regen} 140. The second benefit is that you can draw your souls from me instead of your own. I am rich as fuck, so use my souls liberally. Now lets go."
I opened my GRI and searched for a Dirge Siren that had the most undead. Since this would be the first of the night, I wanted to start with a P5 Siren.
When I found one that matched my preferences, I tapped the deployment button and felt the pull on my soul. Declaring my will, I called out to the teleportation gate with soul.
