Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 297 - Episode 297: Romeo And Juliet

Everyone is staring at me and they're dumbfounded by the words I said, I raise my eyebrow while staring at them with confusion but then Liu points his finger at Ivonna.

"So, the thing that happened to her during our war against the subject was because of that thing inside of her? I know that it's something that she should keep a secret but we are curious where did she get that item?"

I look at Ivonna and she tilts her head while raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms.

"I got the item Godly Item quest from Queen Arachne's loot, it's called Thera's heart."

Everyone is looking at each other and they're talking about [Thera's Heart] item because that's the first time they heard about it. They know there are other items with the same name but they never got the heart as Ivonna said, it's not that rare but they're just unlucky to not get that after they switch turns to kill Queen Arachne. Oscario got the item when he killed Queen Arachne back then, but he doesn't know where to go with that Godly Item quest, so it's just that they're all just had bad luck not able to get that item.

Kingstar turns around to look at both of us.

"You said you will get the Godly Item in a month of in-game time, wouldn't that be too long if we say that you use 20 hours of in real-time every day for getting that item? I mean it will at least take 2 months of in-game time if you do it two days straight and I don't think we have that much time, no? Not to mention that we all have been playing for 8 hours now and I bet you won't be able to do much with the time you have left today."

Kingstar looks at Alucard while sighing.

"This guy will be free at least 2 months or less if what he said is true, and we are running out of time. Are you sure that you will be able to get that item? I mean, I don't want to discourage you but what if all that effort you have gone through to get that Godly Item went to waste because it didn't work? We should think about this thoroughly and find another way to kill this bastard."

Everyone is nodding in agreement, I turn around to look at Alucard.

"If you can find another way, then you guys should start thinking about it because I still believe that my plan is the only way to kill him. A month is the maximum amount of time for both of us to get that time, it could be faster if we both are lucky, so I think you have enough brains to think for a way to kill him while both Ivonna and I will be searching for the Godly Item."

Everyone is looking at us and then they're all looking at Kingstar and waiting for his response. Kingstar looks down while sighing and nodding with understanding, he rests his hands on his waist then looks at both of us.

"Fine, you do that and we will go back to the empire to think of a way. But when are you going to start finding that Godly Item?"

I look at Ivonna and she seems to be following my lead, I look back at him and tilt my head.

"I guess both Ivonna and I will take 5 hours rest and then we will go back online again. We are going to stay online until we got the Godly Item."

Ivonna looks at me with her eyes starting to get wide open, the rest of them are looking at me with their mouth open. Diamond is walking toward me while pushing his hands forward, he flips his hands while shaking his head with disbelief and looks at both of us.

"Hold on, hold on... you're going to play for 30 hours? Are you crazy? First of all, dude, I remember that you were hospitalized because you were playing for too long, now you want to do the same mistake again? Second of all, do you want her to play for 30 hours as well? That's stupid."

Before I can answer his question, Ivonna stands next to me and she looks at Diamond while shaking her head.

"This is nothing, I can do this because I have been doing a lot of endurance stream before so I think I will be fine. I believe Trev will be able to help me on getting the Godly Item faster than I would do it by myself, so I'm fine with it. I hope during my quest on getting the Godly Item you guys have a solution to the problem we are having. I wish you guys good luck."

They're all nod with understanding and they're saying the same thing to us, I look at Ivonna and I nod, she nods back and we both log out from the game.

We both get out from the pod and immediately leave the room, we decide to go down and eat something to fill our stomach since we are going to play for at least more than 20 hours later. We both are waiting for the food to be cooked and so we both go to the living room to watch TV and when we change the channel to the OGN channel, we both are surprised to see a photo of us on the screen. Someone took a photo of me holding and wrapping my arms around Ivonna who were unconscious before she got possessed by Heugron, and the title is Romeo and Juliet of The Betelgeuse Online.

Everyone is loving that photo and the woman on the screen is trying to resemble the similarity of our story from the photo with the story of Romeo and Juliet. When I hold her body it reminds them of Romeo, and then I fall unconscious when Ivonna is awake, she sees me laying on the ground unconscious and then walking toward Alucard, after she's done with her business she passes out again. Ivonna is embarrassed because of how people see us like that, and a rumor starts spreading about my relationship with her. The woman tells the viewer that it was impossible to approach her because the amount of radiation of her power was enough to kill anyone but I was there for her which is kind of suspicious if we both are just friends.

We both go to the dining room and eat our food while we both are talking about the news we saw on TV, she's so embarrassed and can't handle the attention in that way. I don't know that it's this fun to tease her like this, and I can't get enough of seeing her flustered like this since she's always shown her cold and cool side. We also see the news about Alucard's whereabouts and it seems Kingstar and the others told them already that Alucard is currently imprisoned in the Holy Temple, but they haven't told them about the problem that we are having and I think I know the reason why because they don't want to make them all worried.

We are done eating our food and just for this occasion, we both go to the winery and pop a bottle just for the both of us. I pour a glass for her and then we both sit facing each other in between a small round table. Ivonna is sipping the wine and swirling the glass while she's staring at the wine, she then looks at me and clears her throat.

"Are you sure that we will be able to get the Godly Item within 30 hours?"

I sip my wine and put the glass on the table.

"Yeah, well, if we are going to it my way, we will be able to get that in less than 10 hours."

Ivonna is tilting her head with a surprised expression, she puts the glass on the table while licking her lips.

"Then, why did you say that you need at least 30 hours?"

I smirk and look at her while chuckling softly.

"Because I know that you don't want me to take all the lead, right? You have been trying your best the past few months on finding the lead on that quest and I know that you don't want to get the most powerful item fully from my help so that's the reason why. I will let you do it on your own and when you got stuck, I will give you some lead to help you out, and to be honest, you already got the big picture when you met Heugron during your prayer, so it will be faster and easier now."

Ivonna is smiling and nodding in agreement.

"Okay, I like that idea."

Ivonna looks at the time and she stands up while chugging all the wine in her glass.

"We should get some sleep now because we are going to do some endurance gaming soon."

I nod in agreement.

When I'm done putting the wine bottle back on its rack, Ivonna is hugging me from behind and burying her face on my back, I look at her while raising my eyebrows, and then she lifts her head to look at me while smiling.

"Let's sleep in my room."
