Limitless The Strongest Revenant

We descended into a extremely large balcony. Like the balcony was a big as a fucking room. The floor was extremely shinny like it was made from a ballroom or something.

I deactivated [Afterburner] and floated using [Wizard]. Dorian along with the four other Nobles similarly touched down in the wide empty space. Unlike the rest of Hellsgate the duke's residence was well lit.

They had bright torches or lantern along the walls that gave the place a majestic glow. Unlike the structures of the Battlefront and the forts which were purely functional this castle truly was for aesthetics.

There was two set of grand doors going into the main building. And both opened up the moment my foot touched the ground. An army of what seemed to be beautiful looking butlers and maids lined up along the doors.

It was a welcome befitting the owner of the house. However, as illusions didn't work on me, I noticed that the household staff all had skin that was almost translucent. And veins that were not red but black.

"Welcome! Esteemed Limitless!" they all greeted.

Suddenly I felt a pressure pressed down on me. It was as if I was in the presence of a Specter. Unlike the rest of the Vampires or Nobles, I could sense the souls of the ones that showed up.

'[Analyze].'

A handsome man with black hair and red eyes came forward. He was wearing regal attire that would look like what royalty would wear. His face seemed devoid of emotion, yet his eyes showed an excitement that seemed dangerous.

'Tsk. Exa these status pages are becoming less and less useful as time goes on.'

[My lord, I am no omnipotent system. I am merely an AI that organizes information for you. I cannot display things I do not know. I try to supplement your knowledge using information I gathered from the Internet or Graveyard.]

'Fair enough. I guess I should be grateful that people do not notice I try to see their information.'

Along with him were five women that were extremely gorgeous. They were clearly a cut above the rest even the Noble Vampire that traveled with me seem like a peasant in comparison.

The man came forward and reached out for a handshake.

"Greetings Limitless. I am Duke Stefan De Arno. Welcome to my humble abode," the duke warmly greeted.

Despite his warm greeting, I felt a chill up my spine. His eyes were like of a hunter that sized up his prey. His lips twisted into a smile, but it looked like the one made by someone truly insane.

However, I didn't think this motherfucker could be more a lunatic that I was, so I returned his smile and reached for his hand. If he really wanted to kill me, there was a thousand different things he could have done.

I grabbed his outstretched hand and firmly grasped it. I then noticed that the duke seemed to be trying to crush my hand to no avail. I only noticed as his body began tilting as if he was putting his entire weigh into breaking my wrist.

'Is this fucking bastard an idiot? A dick measuring contest right off the bat?'

But as I had {Withstand} he needed the force of a tank round to break my form. And no matter how much force he exerted I could lift it up with {Carry}. Ignoring his attempts I shook his hand normally, much to his dismay.

"Thanks for the warm welcome Duke. You already know who I am. Mind telling me why I am here?"

"Hahaha, who doesn't? You are practically the talk of the town! Let's talk inside. I some refreshments ready."

Without waiting for my answer, the Stefan walked inside. He seemed charismatic and commanded the presence in the room. But I didn't know if that was because just because he was the most powerful being present.

Like a strict hierarchy the five women followed Stefan. It was only after they entered that the rest of the Nobles did. The maids and butlers only followed last.

I followed after him and walked inside the place. Immediately I sense the presence of over one hundred Reapers. While it did confuse me, it was not the worst thing. Upon stepping foot into the castle, I felt my connections to the Sirens suddenly vanish.

It was similar to the feeling I got when I got kidnapped by the Specters. They were blocking the flow of souls so much so that it affected even {Kindred} links.

'Exa, you still there?'

[I am my lord.]

'I guess, I should have expected something like this.'

[Do not worry my lord, the ladies along with the Awakened are on route to this castle. They are looking for the missing Lizardkin infants along the way. The Sirens are using the Switchblades to map out the entire floor. They will be ready to move soon.]

'That is comforting to hear, then I just need to sit tight.'

The inside of the hall was even more magnificent that the outside. Crystal chandeliers lined up the ceiling giving a dazzling light. Rich looking wallpaper adorned the walls while expensive looking carpets lined along the floor.

'How the fuck does this bastard have all this? I though they can't return to Earth?'

There were paintings that looked really old decorating the place, there were ones that showed beautiful looking people and ones showing events. We continued walking till we reached a grand looking ballroom with a extremely showy staircase before it. There was a butler and a busty maid waiting below it.

'Man, while Reapers were living like cavemen, these mosquito bastards are living like kings.'

Stefan then called for a butler type character and commanded him.

"Show our guest to the drawing room. I will be with him shortly. If he fancies any of the staff. Oblige him."

"Excuse me?"

Stefan then turned towards me and smiled.

"Do not be shy my friend. I know the lives of Reapers are pitiful. Should any of my maids or help find your fancy feel free to ravage them to your hearts content. You will not have issues with the soul rivers as they are not reapers."

The bastard then reached for the busty maid and groped her breast forcefully.

"I assure you however that they feel just as if not better than even Phantoms. You are my guest. You need not restrain yourself here."

Feeling the need to make things clear, I immediately turned him down. "Thank you for your hospitality, but I am not interested."

"You do not need to lie. If the maids are not to your liking, then do you prefer our butlers? You are free to love, I do not judge."

What the fuck was this bastard saying? Why is he so sure that I am lying?

"No, I am straight. And I am spoken for. I am married to seven beautiful wives."

"Ho? But you are a Reaper, why stop at seven? Take more! You earned the right to be happy and the right to pleasure."

So this bastard was a fucking hedonist? Why was I not surprised.

"Thank you for your offer, but I am fine."

"I see. Tell Sebastian should you be in need of anything. I will be with you shortly."

Sebastian then gestured to the left and led the way. I followed him there were numerous Vampires working on the residence. I looked outside the windows and noticed a garden and fountains made of stone.

'Was this really a place in Hellsgate? How can monsters exhibit culture almost comparable to man?'

Normally in fiction Vampires lived amongst people. But these Vampires were in Hellsgate, a place extremely far from civilization. If getting even some supplies from Earth to battlefront was expensive then how would the Vampires manage to build all this?
