Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 883: Who needs roads [2/2]
"Jo, everyone here is worried about Shujin. But we are still in enemy territory. It is not wise to just risk everything because we are impatient. We cannot be too careless especially when the other successor is around," Aki reminded.
"I don’t think it would take that long. From my calculation it shouldn’t just two hours would be enough. As we have Honey’s {fate}, even with Esca’s V8 engine, fuel is not really an issue. If we apply the {Carry} family to Esca, she can go even faster."
"Yes, once we fashion a road using {Shelter} for Shujin’s vehicle, the terrain won’t be an issue. Bella can work with Jo and to create the path we will take. I will happily supply you both with stamina using {butcher}. The only problem would be the souls," Aki pondered.
"Not really, souls are no longer an issue for Specters. I’ll take you up on the stamina though. The only problem is getting stopped along the way. Although, I doubt anyone could even stop Darling’s car unless they have a Specter guarding the Ethiopian border."
"You all are stupid. Why bother making a round on the ground. Just make one in the air. The nutjob will use {Dampen} on the engine, Aki will hide us with {Translucent}. Or better yet, I can just take us to the energy realm with my soul gear."
"Eh? Don’t wanna. What if you trip and we get lost jailbait? We won’t be able to get out of there without you, so no thanks. Just let me build a road here. It’s easier, faster and safer."
"Hmph! Do you think I am that stupid you nutjob? If you want safety go to prison!"
"Hehe, you sure you want to go to prison, jailbait? I think a certain pedophile island would be better for you."
"All right. Settle down, you little shits are harder to keep on track than dogs in a park! Honey, I know you planned to deal with the Rashid. But it really is a waste of time to wait for him to arrive. Let’s just go," Bella mitigated while getting in between the two.
"I second that Anata. There is little merit to continue waiting unless you wish to change the leader of the Omar faction."
"Yeah, you all are right. Thank you everyone. I am so glad the four of you are here with me. Let’s leave at once."
Hearing the large number of concerns my girls had, I grew satisfied. I was already preparing myself for a long ass drive but only remembered that I was no longer human. The girls were right. We didn’t need to abide by their rules.
"Fluffy, I am not going crazy right? These people just said they would create their own road and get to the Bale mountains in two hours?"
"Well, before we left, Leo and Nyda advise me to not assume Limitless and his harem would follow common sense. If they do manage to do what they said, then I would have to agree that they really operate unlike anyone I have seen."
Finding it funny that even Amari and his lover couldn’t believe I words, I opted to ask for confirmation.
"Amari, you plan to use me to take out this Prince Rashid, right? Will it be fine to kill him later? I don’t have any time to waste on his stupid ass."
"Yes, that is fine. Given his personality he would try to chase after us anyway. My other brother and the information about the successor is more important. Please let us tag along."
"Sure," I then turned to Pierre and asked him to, "What about you?"
"I will go with you if you let me. There isn’t anything for me here. I don’t even have any bodies to bury," he said in low spirits.
"I see. If that is the case, then get on."
Nodding, I got on Exa and turned on the ignition. The sound of the mighty V-8 diesel engine was music to my ears. Although, I could fly and all that, I just liked taking Esca out for a spin. There was something about being in the driver’s seat that made me happy.
When we all boarded my car, I was kind of unsure how to proceed. I had a heading from the map marker Amari shared. But in order to get there I still had to traverse a lot of dirt roads and shit. But none of that matters as we would not be traveling the normal way.
"{Dampen}!" "[Translucent]." "{Float}, {Crush}, {Ascend}, {Hike}, {Pack}, {Carry}." "[Hellsend’s Armory] Switchblades, Puma. Sabel, I want an escort."
[Yes, mother. I will also scout ahead with the Puma.]
"Jo, Aki. Please erase the sound and visual footprint of my daughter’s drones."
"Okay." "Done."
Voices rang out as the girls began invoking {fates}, {Program} and instructions for our trip. The number of souls saturating the body of Esca, already showed the range of ability she could already do.

"Exa, create a simple model for Jo and I to follow."
[Understood.]
I then saw a digital highway form in my mind. It was super imposed on the surroundings like an AR image. It went from a few feet in front of us to an uphill ramp that extended towards the sky. I followed the path and it simply led to a flat plain in the sky.
"{Shelter}" x4
"Okay, everyone follow my orders and tell me when you get tired. Aki, please prepare food for everyone so that they can refuel if in case they feel tired," Bella instructed.
"I will."
The girls created {Shelter} sheets that floated and served as the floor for the {Shelter} bridge. It was an ingenious idea. Rather than create the entire bridge, we only needed the first two miles in front of my car. So long as we didn’t out run the road, we should be safe.
"Alright, Possum. Preparations complete. Just follow Exa’s digital bridge, and the Sirens and I will do the rest. We will create the road for you."
"Got it. Who needs roads if you have my harem! Haha," feeling incredible proud I boasted.
With the flooring completed, I pressed my foot on the gas pedal. My actions caused Esca to roar in full power and accelerate. Using the AR bridge as a guide, I got up the gigantic structure. It was a novel feeling, seeing the ground as you look out the car window.
When I noticed that the girls didn’t look tired at all, I gunned the engine. Esca sped along the digital/ semi translucent highway. The girls used the info we got from Amari to determine our heading.
Unused to having Robyn buff the car to its limit, I noticed that my car which was supposed to feel sluggish, didn’t. Due to armor plating, the extra weight of then came at the price of significantly slowing down the vehicle.
However, with Robyn’s entire {fate} family working in tandem. Esca handled like a super car. Each time I pressed my foot on the accelerator, the speed we gained was small but extremely dense.
And just like that, we left Kismayo and headed to our duel with a demon.
