Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 271 - Episode 271: Strongest Players.

Me and my dad are looking at Ruscheller and the others slashing and cutting the Hecatomb Arachnes like paper, all those players at the frontline are staring at them speechlessly. I hear footsteps are running from behind me, I see a group of players run past me and I remember their faces, they're the clan leader and commanders from Aven's clan, the woman is running behind the clan leader while pointing at Queen Arachne.

"Kyle, remember to not hit Queen Arachne on accident because Maine Cassair is already aggroing the Assail Arachne, and we don't want to mess up this opportunity."

The guy that the woman called him Kyle replies while nodding his head with understanding.

"Don't worry, Cecil, I won't. Let's go!"

They're running toward the Garrison Arachne and start attacking it, I hear other footsteps coming from behind me and this time it's Aven and the others, Aven Pat's my back while pointing at Succor Arachne.

"Come on, Allen, Bjorg. We are going to kill that spider!"

We both nod and follow them.

We are too busy dodging the spells that Succor uses at us, it's so thrilling but it's so fun at the same time. Both me and my dad are really enjoying this moment not just because we are fighting these monsters with thousands of players but also because me and my dad can finally play the game together. Suddenly Aven stops attacking Succor and he's staring at something in front of him with his eyes and mouth wide open, he's pointing his finger at something.

"Holy sh*t! They killed all the Hecatomb Arachnes already?!"

We are all looking at the dead bodies of the Hecatomb Arachnes not far from us, we see the 10 of them are surrounding one of the dead bodies while taking the loot. They left the rest of the Hecatomb Arachnes' dead bodies for the other players that need the loots, I look at their armor and weapon and I believe those cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, I wonder when will I be able to be as good as them. Not just them, but I finally am able to see their Amruchis and I believe those already on the third stage or above since they're as large as the Mini-Bosses, I wonder how long it took for them to evolve their Amruchi.

FrancesK and Ruscheller are looking at us, they both are staring at us! I somehow feel like to show how good I am in this game, so I show them the moves I learned from movies. I'm so busy showing off my skill, but when I look at them they're no longer looking at me, I'm kind of sad and start thinking about what I just did and it so cringes. I got an opportunity but I blew it up, Ilvia is looking at me while furrowing her forehead.

"Allen, what are you doing standing still like that? Come on and help us!"

I nod with understanding and grip my swords so tightly then start attacking Succor Arachne with them.

All the Mini-Bosses are finally defeated, it's only Queen Arachne left and she's screeching angrily at us, FrancesK and the others are just watching us from the distance because they said that they won't interfere and let us the players compete on who will become the MVP of the World Boss. I thought they were planning on hunting down Queen Arachne but turns out they were just joking back there. Unfortunately for me, it's impossible for me to become the MVP since my damage is so weak compared to the other players but Aven and the others are competing to get the famous [Betelgeuse's Legacy Box I].

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

[Congratulations! [Oscario] has been chosen as the Most Valuable Player! The reward is [Betelgeuse's Legacy Box I]. May the Betelgeuse bless you!]

I look at the Voice of the World in the sky, I'm only shaking my head with disbelief that someone can be so lucky to become the MVP and got the [Betelgeuse's Legacy Box I]. My dad is going to log out from the game because someone is pressing a button on his pod and it must be work-related and so I see him leave after he says goodbye. Aven and the others are weirdly cheering happily, and so I approach them and look at Aven while raising my eyebrows with confusion.

"Why are you guys cheering? It's not one of you who's the MVP of this event though? Is that Oscario guy is one of the commanders or your clan leader?"

Aven is sheathing his two-handed sword while shaking his head.

"I guess you don't know, Oscario is our clan's ally and he's the clan leader from the Horizon clan, you do know the Horizon clan, right? They're currently the strongest clan from the Eluna Empire faction. We never planned to take the MVP in the first place, we are here to help Oscar to get the [Betelgeuse's Legacy Box I], it was our purpose from the beginning."

I'm humming with understanding, but then Chris looks at me while nodding up.

"Oh, Allen, you have leveled up and now you're level 200, huh? Do you want to join our clan?"

I look at him and nod.

"Oh, you're right! I'm level 200 now thanks to this event, so yeah! I would like that!"

Ilvia nods with understanding then she walks toward the woman named Cecil, Ilvia is talking with her while she's pointing at me. Cecil is looking at me for a second then she nods, they both are approaching me and Cecil is smiling at me while looking at my equipment, Aven is telling her that I'm their friend in real life because we used to be in the same high school. Without saying a single word, Cecil looks at me, and then I see a notification in front of me.

[Cecilia Anessi has invited you to join [Black Oath] Clan]

[Accept] [Decline]

...

[Accept]

Cecilia shows her gentle smiles while staring at me.

"Welcome to the Black Oath Clan, Allenator!"

I nod and smile back at her.

"Thank you for the invite, Miss Cecilia!"

Cecilia nods and smiles.

"No problem!"

Suddenly the three guys are approaching Cecilia and they're the commanders and the clan leader of the Black Oath clan, I look at the clan tab and look at their in-game name, Kyle Herald is the leader and his level is 373, Poshmeleon is the first commander and his level is 372, Valentino Sera is the second commander and his level is 371, lastly Cecilia Anessi is the vice leader and her level is 374.

Kyle is looking at Cecilia and he's pointing at a bunch of players that are walking toward them, Kyle says that they want to thank us. A brown-haired guy is waving at Cecil with a yellow-haired guy walking next to him, the brown-haired guy crosses his arms while grinning happily.

"Thank you for the help, guys! As I promised, I will give 30% of the revenue when I sold this in the auction."

So that guy is Oscario, the one who got the MVP and the [Betelgeuse's Legacy Box I], I wonder who's the guy next to him though but I think he's the vice leader or something like that. Oscario shows us the box and we are surrounding it and staring at it without even blinking our eyes, the box that cost at least 20 million dollars is right in front of me. Suddenly a guy is wrapping his arm around Oscario's neck and when we look at the guy, we are surprised to see Maine Cassair standing next to Oscario.

"Wow, how lucky of you, Oscar. Now you will become a millionaire, huh?"

Oscario is chuckling and shaking his head.

"Hey, it's thanks to you and the others for helping me to get this box. Can you tell my thanks to Miss Ivonna, William? And of course, I'm going to thank Miss Francesca and the others since they're here."

Maine Cassair nods with understanding.

"Alright, I will tell her. Oh, by the way, Miss Ivonna said to me that you don't have to pay anything, we are here not just because we want to help but because Miss Grisell wants the loot from the Garrison Arachne and she got what she wanted, so let's just called it even."

Oscario is surprised and looks at him with disbelief.

"What?! Are you serious?! Thanks, dude!"

Maine Cassair nods and then he leaves to be with FrancesK and the others, I look at Oscario and raise my hand.

"You know them?!"

Oscario raises his eyebrows.

"Know who? William and Miss Ivonna? Yeah, we all here know them. We used to be in the same party with Miss Ivonna and Mister Trevor back then."

I look at every one of them.

"Wait?! You guys know them?!"

Everyone chuckles and nods in agreement, then Cecilia raises her eyebrows.

"Yeah, we do.. We still in contact with them occasionally."
