Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 14 - Episode 14: Voice Of The World.

I grab two chained sickles and wrap those chains on my arms and grip the sickles on my hands. I look at Emma and grin.

"Follow my lead and I will lead you to glory!"

Emma chuckles and then burst out laughing at me.

"What the hell are you blabbering about."

Emma wipes her eyes and I grab her hand.

"Let's go!"

Emma grabs her whip sword and follows me from behind. I slash them up when in range. I swirl my sickle and throw it at one of them. I pierce and slit them up while the rest of them are busy fighting each other. Emma is finishing my job by killing them up while they are dying on the ground. Then suddenly Emma screams. I look back and Emma is surrounded by the wolves. I leap toward her.

"Get down!"

I swung both of the sickles with all my strength and slit their heads wide open. I exhaled deeply and looked at Emma.

"You're good?"

Emma nods. She stands up and looks around.

"Trev... I think they all are looking at us."

Trevor turned around and smirked, His eye is covered by his red ember long hair. He tied the chained sickles on both of his arms and then he grabbed a scythe from his inventory and jumped at them. I watched him massacred them all like a slaughterhouse. A dripped of blood coming down from his scythe. He swung the scythe and stuck it on the ground and unwrapped the chained sickles on his arms and started swinging them around the wolves and orcs. Three wolves leaped on him from behind but he knew and swung one of his sickles to his back and split them into halves then slammed that sickle to his front and pierced through the orc's head. He smirked the whole time as if he enjoyed slaughtering those monsters.

"Yep, he's a psycho..."

Emma raises her eyebrows while rolling her eyes away from the battle.

There is nothing left except for the Orc General and Storm Wulf. They both are slowly backing off. I sigh deeply and stretch my arms. I look back at Emma.

"Let's kill them, Em."

Emma approaches me and stands behind my back.

"Are you sure about that, Trev? Look at their levels though... both of them are Level 90. That giant orc has 7400 HP and that giant wolf have 5800 HP. We are not even close to their level."

I put all my weapons back to my inventory and pull out the Lazy Luck daggers and drink the lucky potion. I smirk.

"Don't worry, I'll make them busy and all you need to do is hit them when you find an opening. Just trust me."

Emma grips her whip sword so tightly and nods. I look at her.

"Ready? Let's go."

Emma nods.

I run towards them and both of them are starting to attacking me. Emma is running to their backs and wait for an opening.

I dodged their attacks without a problem. Emma hit them with only 7-9 damage per hit. I also attacked them when I had the chance. My damage was around 30-40 per hit since I'm using Lazy Luck daggers. I kept toying with both of them while Emma recharging her stamina.

We have been fighting them for almost an hour and their HP is about a quarter of their full HP. Emma keeps focusing on hitting them while I'm dodging their attacks. Then Emma grabs another whip sword and she's using both of them to make it double the damage and of course it depletes her stamina way faster.

The Orc General HP is 20 and the Storm Wulf HP is 17. I look at Emma and nod at her. She understands and we both attack the Orc General together from the front and back. The Orc General is now dead, we both level up, then we hit the Storm Wulf on the head. We both level up again. Then suddenly a notification on the sky appears.

[Congratulations to [T****r] and [R*********r] on defeating Mini-Boss "Orc General Dahrak". They are the first players to defeat it. The rewards are [10 status points], [Diamond Mysterious Box], and [Fame +100]. May the Betelgeuse bless you!]

Another notification appears.

[Voice of the World]

We both are looking at each other and then look up at the notification on the sky. Emma's eyes are glimmering in happiness.

Emma's mouth is wide open to see all the notifications on her screen. She's glaring at them with disbelief. I'm chuckling at her expression. Emma then looks at me.

"What just happened...?"

I shake my head and scoff.

"I have no idea, this is the first time for me as well."

There wasn't anything like this back then. This new notification and features was my idea when Becker and I discussed this. I never thought that he would put these features in the game.

My Level is 74. I leveled up 4 levels just from this, and I got a total of 29 Status Points from this. We both also got titles and mysterious boxes. I bet the forum is now crowded because of this.

I look at Emma and she's still overwhelmed by all these. So I open the forum while waiting for Emma to get back to reality. I'm right, someone posted a thread a minute ago and there are already more than hundreds of replies. I click on the thread.

[Are you guys heard the Voice of the World (VoW) announcement?!]

G: Yeah, who are they? Did they kill both of the Mini-Bosses on themselves? Did anyone know who they are?

O: 20 Status Points for killing Mini-Bosses?! That's a lot! By the way, does anyone know what Diamond Mysterious Box is?

...

N: This is the first time I saw the world announcement. Holy sh*t, those guys are so lucky! Even the top 10 leaderboards haven't done such a thing like that!

R: Ivonna streamed when that happens. She was staring at the world announcement with her mouth wide open LOL. I was watching her and she said the Diamond Mysterious Box is a gacha box for equipment enhancement. She explained it to her viewers. Here's the link if you want to see [Link]

D: I know where the Mini-Bosses are. I remembered where it was since I got the same event back then. Sadly I was a newbie and ran away from it.

I close the browser and Emma is still reading the rewards she received. We need to leave as soon as possible. I walk towards the corpses of the Mini-Bosses and grab the loots. I chuckle when I see the loots. Really, LUK is overpowered.

Emma approaches me and looks at the loot.

"What are those?"

I turn around and give it to Emma. She's surprised and looks at me in the eye.

"For me?"

I shrug and raise my eyebrow.

"Yeah, I don't think I need these. It's perfect for you anyway."

Emma takes the loot. I look at her.

"What's your level now, Em?"

Emma shares her status screen.

She's staring at me.

"How's that?"

I nod while looking at her status.

"Yeah. You're doing fine."

I look around and I think the players are coming this way.

"Let's Log Out for now. People are coming this way to see who killed them."

Emma confused and nods.

"Okay, then. Let's rest for today."

I nod and we both log out from the game.

"Did you find who killed those Mini-Bosses?"

A pink-haired woman wearing full plate armor with two swords on her waist and a broadsword on her back walking towards a guy wearing the same armor and weapons who are standing behind the tree. The guy shakes his head.

"No, we are too late. It doesn't seem that they left the area since we got here as soon as the Voice of the World announced it. I believe they logged out as soon as they got the loots. Let's send someone to watch this area for a week so we know who killed those monsters when they logged in again."

The pink-haired woman nods.

"Okay. Let's go back then."
