Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 1011: I’ll figure it out [2/2]

Its size and defenses meant that even 120 mm tank rounds couldn't fully penetrate it. My attacks looked deadly. But, I was no closer to killing it than when I bashed it with [Jack Hammer].

"{Pause}."

Invoking my 2nd {Entropy}, I felt something click inside me. Just from my instincts, I knew that meant that the recording was probably completed.

"It's go time. {Fast Forward}."

I felt the malice in my surroundings stir. But nothing happened. What happened to the energy I generated? I kicked the boar in the snout, but nothing happened.

"Fuck. Why isn't anything happening?"

[My lord, your {Record} was a bashing action; therefore…]

"So I need to do the same action. That severely limits what I can do with it," I complained.

My original goal was to generate kinetic energy from an alternate reality and bring it to my body. If the energy itself has limitations on how it could be used, then it was fucking shit.

"Dammit, I felt like I had all my hopes up for nothing."

Annoyed, I grabbed the mace with both hands and swung it down. But then all hell broke loose.

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!

My simple action created a loud boom. It was similar to the sound of me hitting the boar's thick hide. But there were 15 of the sounds! And they all happened at once. What's more, the immense force turned the remaining half of the skull into dust.

An explosion of blood, bone, flesh, and brain matter was sent flying.

"W-What?"

[My lord, {Record}'s logs are like a text-based RPG. If it records the words "He used a bashing attack" fifteen times. The first bashing attack you do would invoke them all.]

"Are you fucking serious? Isn't that completely broken?"

[Yes. I do not know. There is nothing that seems to indicate that they are. You may record more than one type of action. This will change the way it is invoked. But either way, the possibilities are quite literally endless.]

"Then if I run, I can literally 'fast forward' myself running to cut the time?"

[Yes. That is the case. And you haven't even heard the best part, my lord.]

"Which is?"

[Borrowing {Record}'s principle. You can reuse the same log as many times as you wish, provided you have the malice to do so.]

"…"

Holy fucking shit. This was beyond insane. So by recording a log of 100 bashes, upon invoking {Fast Forward} my body wouldn't suddenly execute 100 bashes. It would instead store the power of 100 bashes into one action.

"Let me test this out. Heal the pig."

[Understood. IF-{Restore} switchblades inbound.]

The ground shook as the boar's face exploded again and again to heal it back into shape. The concept of healing someone by using explosions really seemed counterintuitive. When the boar woke up, it saw me. It then trembled.

"### ##### ###########!! ## ### #### #####!! ############!"

I saw its mouth flapping, but I didn't understand what it was saying. But less than a second later, it turned around and bolted.

"…"

[Father, should I take out his leg?]

[Pops you are getting slow; should I chase it for you?]

[Daddy! Please let me help! I will do a good job; I promise!]

My children, who saw our playmate get away, all volunteered. But the boar running was perfect for my next experiment.

"It's fine, remain on standby. Exa, if I start a new {Record}, will my record of fifteen bashes disappear?"

[Yes, that is what I expect. You may only save one {Record} at a time.]

"Tsk. When I evolve this thing, I will create overwriting and save more than one log!" I declared.

I let go of my Faker Mace which caused it to vanish back into my storage. I crouched down and rested my hands on the ground. Imitating a runner's start, I drove my feet to the ground as I ran with everything I had.

"{Record}!"

The pig, due to its massive size, covered a lot of ground in the short time it ran. About one and a half miles in three minutes. It was greatly faster than even human sprinters. Despite giving my all to running, I couldn't catch up to it. I chatted with Exa to pass the time.

"Tsk. I'm too slow. Should I change to [Sky Sentinel]? Exa. Will even the actions I do that involve {Fates}, {Kismet}, or {Programs} be included in the logs?"

[No, they will not. Soul and malice are not compatible. None of the actions you do that involve souls can be added to the log.]

"Wait, but why did the bash earlier do so much damage if that is the case?"

[{Record's} log did not take the weapon into account. It merely used the record of you doing a full-powered bash fifteen times. It just so happened that you were carrying a powerful weapon and had the body of a 9th generation Descendant.]

"Then if I had instead used a baseball bat, the effect would have been the same."

[Yes. The force of fifteen full-powered strikes will immediately hit the baseball bat, disintegrating it. Make sure to take into account your weaponry when using this {Entropy}.]

Hearing the stringent rules, it was just as troublesome as {Rewind}. But then again, as {Fast Forward} only began, it couldn't be helped. Feeling like I had run enough, I stopped my recording session.

"{Pause}."

I once again heard the click in my mind. I didn't know how my {Record} would appear. But I had to experiment since I didn't know what I was doing.

"Alright! Here I go. {Fast Forward}!"

At my command, I felt my feet and legs suddenly heat up. Then my surroundings blurred as if I were a speedster superhero. As my brain and my senses could keep up, I was able to tell that in a single second I overtook the large boar by more than a mile. But I couldn't stop.

"Ah! Shit, I already passed him! Stop! Stop! Stop!"

[My lord, for continuous actions. Such as running, you can stop it by using {Pause}.]

"{PAUSE}! {PAUSE}! {PAUSE}!"

Frantically shouting. My body finally slowed down. But I felt pain in my legs and thighs. My shoes, which were the same ones I wore from the beginning, melted somewhere along the way. My clothes were similarly in tatters.

"Fuck, I am going to need more durable clothes. {Replace}!"

Invoking my {Fate} after an entry felt weird. The darkness that was gathering on my body all of a sudden turned chaotic while a white light began to ooze out of my body. Despite all the weird things going on, I was just glad my clothes were fixed.

A silent rumbling made the ground shake. When I looked up, I saw the boar still running forward. It made a weird face when it saw me. I was about 2 miles behind it and was not over a mile in front of it.

"Economy-wise, it is quite bad, but the practical applications of this would be great if I can nail down the rules. For now, I will focus on bashing. Exa, get me my mace."

[Understood.]

Feeling the familiar weight in my hand, I raced forward. My goal now was to figure out how long a log I could make. Elated that I had a new tool for my upcoming battles, I felt giddy and excited. I felt happy as I once again grew a little bit stronger.

"{Record}! Let's do this, you bastard! For science!"
