Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 148

The wolf is floating in the air and then flying around me. The smoke on its body is so cold that my body starts shivering. The wolf is flip its body and looks at me upside down.

"Yes, it's me, Master! I have evolved!"

His voice is a bit deeper and heavier. I check his status screen.

I tilt my head and chuckle with disbelief.

"Specter Wulf? I have never heard about that. You have become something extraordinary, Azrael. You're way too strong for a first evolution Amruchi. How strong you will be when you reach your prime? I can't wait to see you grow."

Azrael is giggling happily and then lands on the ground while rubbing his face on my hand.

"I'm happy that Master is so proud of me!"

I rub his face and ears with a big smile on my face.

I clear my throat and check the quest's status.

[61% of the Alliance Kingdoms population is alive]

I'm humming with understanding.

"It seems that everyone is succeeding on holding Shazjae down from rampaging."

I look at Azrael.

"We need to start moving and go to the Cruzm Kingdom. Everyone is waiting for us."

Azrael nods.

"I understand, Master. Please hop on. I will bring you there as fast as I can!"

I nod and hop on Azrael's back. Azrael then starts running and slowly lifts up to the air.

(At the Cruzm Kingdom.)

Kingstar's armor is broken and his body is covered with bruises and blood.

"Keep shooting! Don't let him go no matter what!"

Aspen is climbing up on Shazjae's left leg with Jake and Jacob. Their weapons are full of cracks and about to shatter anytime soon. Aspen is looking down and everyone looks like an ant from up there.

Aspen looks at Jake.

"We can't keep going on like this. How many times we have been through this?"

Jake is panting and shakes his head.

"I have no idea, but we have done this over a dozen times now."

Jacob screams at both of them.

"Aspen, Jake! Watch out!"

A boulder of rock is coming towards them. The three of them jump down since there is no other way to dodge it. The three of them are free falling and when they dodge the boulder and are about to hit the ground, they stab their sword and dagger to Shazjae's skin, but all of their weapons shatter. The three of them are falling to the ground. Luckily the three of them don't die from the fall damage.

The three of them are running away while rolling over to avoid getting stomp by Shazjae's foot. Aspen looks at the players who are controlling the trebuchet with an angry face.

"Watch your godd*mn aim! You almost killed us!"

Aspen is so pissed that he wants to approach those players and punches them in the face, but Jake and Jacob are stopping him from doing so.

Kingstar looks at the commotion and approaches them.

"What are you guys doing?! Keep shooting!"

Aspen turns his head towards Kingstar.

"Were you the one who ordered them to shot at its leg?"

Kingstar raises his eyebrow.

"I did, what's wrong with that? Our plan is to make him immobilize, of course, I ordered them to target the legs."

Aspen is gritting his teeth.

"We agreed on not interfering with each other's plan! I said that I'm making a path for the players to climb up Shazjae so they can start attacking his body and head! Now, look what you have done! All of our efforts are now disappeared because of you! Look how many swords and spears that we already stabbed on his leg! It's all gone now!"

Kingstar is furrowing his forehead.

"I told you it's not going to do anything! Even if you managed to reach the top, you will only be wasting your time! Do you think he will let you climb up to his body or head? A single tap of his hand is enough to ruin all of your hard work! You're just wasting your time!"

They both keep arguing about it, and then one of the players is screaming at them.

"Tail!"

Kingstar and Aspen look back and the tail is swinging and ready to sweep everything around it. Everyone starts running away as far as they can and hope they don't get hit by Shazjae's tail or the debris from everything that is going to fly toward them. So many things getting destroyed or flattened by Shazjae's tail is really nerve-wracking, everyone is covering their heads and on their knees.

Kingstar lifts his head and sees so many dead players that are unfortunate and died from the debris. Everyone starts standing up and resurrecting the dead players near them. Kingstar looks at the trebuchets that are now have become useless junk.

Aspen and Kingstar are staring at each other, Kingstar sighs and shakes his head while checking the rest of his men and resurrecting those who are dead. Jake and Jacob approach Jaspen and calming him down.

Ivonna and Queenstar are running toward them and Kingstar immediately approaches them.

"Is it ready?"

Queenstar nods.

"Everything is ready and they all are in position. Before we are going to do this, do you really think this is going to work? Even Ivonna isn't confident with this plan."

Kingstar is shaking his head.

"It's going to work. This is your own friend who proposed this, Ivonna. You should believe in her and I really think this is a very good idea. Even if it isn't going to work, at least it's enough to do something to him."

Ivonna then looks at Kingstar with doubt.

"What if it backfires at us? You know it's very dangerous, right?"

Kingstar is sighing while rubbing his chin.

"I know that, but do we have any other option? I'm really open to any suggestions, I really do."

Ivonna looks at everyone and none of them have anything to say. Ivonna then nods.

"I guess we are going to do this then."

Kingstar looks at Ivonna and nods while raising his eyebrows.

"Let's do it."

Everyone nods except for Aspen who's just watching from the back.

(Somewhere in the Capital City of Cruzm Kingdom.)

Francesca is walking towards Grisell.

"You know, this is going to end up really bad. Either for Shazjae or us. But I guess this is not really a bad idea, it's just too risky. I'm amazed that you found those things in the game, and you made something so dangerous from those simple ingredients? I know that you're good at crafting, but I never thought you're good at chemistry as well. You really do love making and mixing stuff, huh?"

Grisell is nodding while looking at the other players are preparing the thing.

"High risk, high reward, I guess? I learned all these things from Utube and my father used to make some kind of experiments every time he went back from the film set. He watched those people made some fun stuff and he copied it at home with me. So yeah, thanks to my dad, I'm now is good at doing this kind of stuff."

Francesca is scoffing while shaking her head.

"I'm glad that you proposed this. I think we make a difference."

Grisell is nodding but then she looks worried while staring at the ground.

"If this really ended up very badly, it will be entirely my fault since I'm the one who proposes this thing to Kingstar. When Ivonna heard my proposal, she was surprised and looked at me with disbelief."

Grisell then looks at Francesca.

"Do you think she's mad at me for this?"

Francesca sits next to Grisell and wraps her arm around Grisell's neck.

"You don't have to worry about that. I have known her longer than any of you. She did that sometimes, it's not because she didn't agree with your idea or anything like that. She just worried that when everything went wrong, she would blame nobody but herself."

A notification appears in front of Francesca. She reads it and then stands up while walking to the front. She then turns around and looks at all the players. She claps her hand and raises her arms.

"It's time to move! Bring those things carefully because if not, we are going to have a bad time."
