Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 154 - Episode 154: Battle Of Shazjae. (5)

When Trevor was freefalling, he threw his scythe to the ground to destroy the ground, but before he reached the ground, he used [Blink Strike] and teleported to where his scythe was, and then used [Moonsteps] to get out from the underground and then he stood on the edge of the hole.

Leo and Hans kept on watching Trevor for hours. Trevor managed to cut off Shazjae's fingers on his own. After they had enough watched the unbelievable fight between Trevor and Shazjae they went to sleep.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Trevor sent Azrael to the back of Shazjae's head to check the hole on his nape. Trevor kept on attacking Shazjae's finger that he had left. Trevor thought this would be an easy task since as he know that Shazjae is in a passive mode, but then a shockwave was released from the center of Shazjae's body. Trevor's whole body was weakened and fell on his knees. Not just him, but Leo and Hans were woken up because of that shockwave. They both couldn't breathe and were shocked by it.

Trevor, Leo, and Hans looked at the notification in front of them with disbelief.

[Shazjae released [Limit-Zero] aura around him that last for 7 hours]

[All passive skills are disabled]

[Player's status value is reduced to 1]

[Regeneration and Recovery spells and items are reduced by 100%]

[Once the player received the debuff once, the player will not receive another one after the first one disappeared]

[If the player died during the [Limit-Zero] debuff, the player will be freed from the debuff, but cannot be resurrected or respawned for the next 12 hours]

Leo and Hans looked at each other and immediately messaged everyone about this. They both couldn't even use any skill because their status value is 1. They ran to the other side of the wall to check on Trevor's condition. They both squinted their eyes and they couldn't see him. Shazjae lifted his left hand and clapped it to his right hand. The impact of the clap made their ears ringing and felt dizzy from it.

They both looked at Shazjae and then looked at each other. Leo gulped.

"Is Trevor dead?"

Hans shook his head.

"I don't know, but we are f*cked..."

Shazjae suddenly growled and he looked pissed. Leo and Hans looked at Shazjae and he kept on smashing his left hand onto his right hand. Hans then nodded.

"Yeah, I think he's very dead now..."

But a bright light came from Shazjae's right hand, Leo and Hans furrowed their forehead and squinted their eyes. A tiny object jumped off from Shazjae's hand, but then as soon as they both saw a flame on that object, they immediately recognized that was Trevor jumping off from Shazjae's hand, and then Trevor landed on Azrael and immediately flew away. Leo then messaged Ivonna that everything is under control again.

(Outside the Capital City of Cruzm Kingdom.)

Millions of tents were built on the vast land around the capital city. Ivonna and Kingstar with all the clan leaders and commanders were gathering and looked at the city. They all then looked at the messages that Leo and Hans sent to them. But when Ivonna received Leo's newest message, they all sighed with relief.

Ivonna squinted her eyes while looking around the walls and towers.

"So the skill radius reached the outer walls and towers of the city, but thankfully the skill is not far enough to reach us."

Francesca nodded in agreement.

"That's right, but the question is, how far that skill radius is? We can't enter the city for the next 7 hours though. What will happen to Trevor if he has to stay there for the next 7 hours? He's been fighting Shazjae for almost 7 hours now, and I don't think he can keep on fighting him for another 7 hours. He should get the exhausted debuff in 3 or 4 hours from now."

Kingstar clicked his tongue and sighed.

"What is happening over there? What made him triggered that skill? Was it because the invasion will end in less than 2 days now or was it because Trevor did something to anger him?"

Ivonna looked at the timer and then looked at the sky.

"I think it's both. Either way, we need to find a solution to help Trevor. What can we do?"

Kingstar walked forward and pointed at the ground.

"We need to know where's the edge of Shazjae's aura is at. But before we do that, it's said that once we are getting the debuff status, it can't be removed until the timer went off or we die which will lead us to not be able to be resurrected or respawned for the next 12 hours. I don't want a single one of us around here to be a tester since everyone is important and losing one is really making a difference."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Francesca then hummed while looking at Ivonna. She raised her eyebrows.

"We could use Grisell? I mean... she doesn't need her status value to do her job right? Since she can just order those players to make the bomb for us."

They were all looking at each other for quite a while and then they all looked at Ivonna. Ivonna raised her eyebrows and sighed.

"I guess we can ask her about this first?"

They all nodded and then left to the mining site where Grisell is at.

As soon as they were near the mining site, they all covered their mouths and noses because the smell was very bad. The closer they were, the worse the smell was. They looked around and searched for Grisell, and one of the players guided them to Grisell. Grisell was making the solution for the bombs inside a small building.

Ivonna approached her and tapped Grisell's back.

"Grisell. We need you to do something for us."

Grisell turned around with her face fully covered by cloth and even her eyes were covered with cloth.

"Ivonna?"

Grisell unwrapped the cloth on her face and was surprised to see everyone in the room.

"What's wrong?"

Ivonna explained everything to Grisell about what was happening inside the capital city, and then Ivonna told her that they all need her to be their guinea pig. Grisell looked at all of them with disbelief, but after Ivonna managed to persuade her, she agreed, and then they all left the mining site and went to the campsite.

Grisell walked to the front and then she turned around. She looked at everyone staring at her with a forced smile. Grisell groaned and then slowly turned around and looked at the city. She gulped and started to walk slowly toward the city. Step by step she walked further while everyone watched her from behind.

Francesca leaned toward Ivonna and whispered.

"Want to bet?"

Ivonna looked at Francesca from the corner of her eyes while furrowing her forehead.

"Bet?"

Everyone looked at Ivonna and Francesca with confusion. Francesca raised her eyebrows while smiling.

"Yeah. How far do you think until Grisell got the debuff on her? My bet is she will get it in less than 20 meters."

Ivonna shook her head while smiling.

"No! That's so wrong."

Francesca shrugged and tilted her head.

"Well..."

Chelsea then nodded up.

"30 meters."

Everyone looked at Chelsea who munched her snack in her hand. Michael hummed.

"35 meters."

Emma looked at Francesca.

"What are we betting with?"

Francesca looked at Emma and shrugged.

"100 Gold Coins?"

Emma nodded.

"Well, I will bet. 45 meters."

Francesca looked at Kingstar and the others.

"You guys want to place a bet?"

Kingstar and the others looked at her weirdly while shaking their heads. Kingstar covered his face and sighed.

"You guys are sick..."

Queenstar and the others nodded in agreement. Francesca squinted her eyes while looked at Kingstar and the others.

"Just us? Aren't we all agreed on making Grisell our guinea pig for this? And yet you just calling us the sick one? That's not cool. You all are also responsible for this."

Kingstar couldn't reply to her statement and looked away while clearing his throat.

They all looked at Grisell who already walked for more than 30 meters. Francesca clicked her tongue and shook her head. Then Grisell walked more than 40 meters and Chelsea booed at Grisell. Grisell walked another 5 meters and nothing happened to her, Michael sighed and grabbed the Gold coins. Then Grisell immediately fell to the ground with her face hit the ground first.

Emma cheered for herself and looked at Francesca and the others.

"I won! Give me my 300 Gold coins!"

While Francesca and the others were busy giving their money to Emma. Ivonna and the others ran toward Grisell and stopped a meter away from her. Grisell turned around while crawling away and faking her cry. Grisell then lifted her head and looked at Ivonna and the others.

"This sucks! I hate you all!"
