Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 44 - Episode 44: Against The Three Factions. (2)

Kingstar lifts his sword and pointing it at the hooded guy.

"We meet again. I will not let you get away this time."

Queenstar and the commanders of Supremacist Clan are lifting their weapons at the hooded guy. Diamond and Lothair are also pointing their weapons at him. Lothair is smirking.

"We will have a rematch and you won't be the winner this time."

Ivonna and her friends are looking at them. Emma is the only one who can't hold her expression and almost chuckles. Ivonna is looking at Emma and slightly smiles.

Kingstar is looking at Ivonna.

"We will form our own party now. Thanks."

Ivonna raises her eyebrows with understanding.

Everyone is forming their own party with their friends or colleague. Ivonna then looks at every player.

"I will not ask you anything. All I want for you all is to prevent him from leaving this place no matter what happens! For the players that are not from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction, I'm reminding you that when you die, don't respawn at your saving point or you will never be able to enter this place again. So, if you die, wait until you respawn on the spot or wait until someone is resurrecting you. That's all."

They all nod with understanding. Ivonna looks at Kingstar, Diamond, and Lothair.

"I believe you guys know what to do, so don't let him escape this time."

Kingstar scoffs and walks away with his members. Diamond and Lothair approaches Ivonna and her friends. Lothair is fixing his armor.

"Ivonna, don't underestimate him. You might think that he's just an ordinary player, but he's not. He's far from being called a normal player. We have tried everything back then, and we failed miserably."

Ivonna nods with understanding.

"Thanks for the heads-up, Lothair. We will be careful."

Lothair nods and then Diamond and Lothair leave with their clan members.

The Tombs of Kings' is a big circle area that is filled with statues and monuments for the deceased kings and Queens. The entrance is on the south side of the area. Kingstar and his members are on the west side. Diamond, Lothair, and their clan members are on the east side of the area. Ivonna and her members are at the exit of the Tombs of Kings' to prevent the hooded guy from leaving the area.

Ivonna is looking around and looks at Hans.

"Find the way where he entered this place. I believe it's visible to our eyes."

Hans nods with understanding and moves on his own. Ivonna turns around and orders her members to spread and to be careful.

Ivonna walks towards Trevor. She grabs her shield and spear from the inventory.

"You will have nowhere to run."

Trevor drinks a potion and drops the empty bottle to the ground. He chuckles and drags the sickles on the ground while walking towards Ivonna.

"I wasn't planning on doing that."

Suddenly a light came from underneath him. Light particles flew out from the ground and went up high to the ceiling. Ivonna didn't know what buff was that then she readied her stances and so are the others. Trevor's eyes were glowing and swung his sickles towards Ivonna.

Clank! Both of the sickles hit Ivonna's sides armor. The shield couldn't cover the sides of her body.

[583]

[614]

Ivonna, the ranked 1 tanker in the game just lost almost a tenth of her health from that.

Ivonna slowly walked back and drank a health potion. She noticed that something weird about him. His gaze was scary as if his eyes are locked on her and ready to kill her mercilessly. Then a scream came from the Westside, Kingstar's members ran towards Trevor. He looked at his right and swung his sickles towards them all. It surprised every player in there. Trevor's attack was so powerful that he just killed the front line with a single swing.

Supremacist Clan members that were about to attack him, now they all ran away from him from fear. Trevor ran and leaped forward. With a high speed and high momentum, he slammed his sickles at them, and those who got hit by it instantly die. Trevor didn't stop there, and he swung his sickles and killed the players he sees.

Mages and range players showered him with their attacks and skills. Some of them managed to deal damage to him. It surprised Ivonna, Lothair, Diamond, Kingstar, Queenstar, and those who have seen or experienced Trevor in battle. They were all shocked by the fact that he took damages.

They all smiled with excitement and ran towards Trevor, except for Ivonna and her friends. But it was a mistake, a ray of hope that they thought would bring them to victory has turned into the darkness of despair. Diamond and Lothair were the first top-ranked players to die from the battle. They both realized that the hooded guy they fought back then, has turned into something that should belong in a nightmare.

Trevor chuckled mischievously while swinging his sickles. Then he turned his head towards Ivonna and immediately ran towards her. Ivonna readied her stances and firmly grabbed her shield and spear.

Psshh... crack!... A crackling sound of ice freezing Trevor's feet.

Kingstar took a deep breath and screamed.

"He is bounded to the ground. This is your chance to attack!"

Mages and range players showered Trevor with everything they got. But he didn't die or fall, he stood there with only scratches on his body. As soon as the ice melted, Trevor turned around and looked at those mages and range players that were attacking him. He swung his sickles far ahead of him and stabbed the ground. He pulled himself and he leaped towards them with the sickles flew behind his back. He whipped the sickles so hard that the chains made a loud crack and the sickles destroyed the ground and the players around it.

There were no players in the right mind to lift their weapons towards him at that moment. Alec Stovankov approached him and raised his shield.

"Fight me!"

Trevor turned around. There was no sound other than a jingling sound of the chains rubbing each other and the sound of metal getting dragged on a concrete floor that was echoing the area.

Trevor swung his sickles at him relentlessly. Alec was overwhelmed by his attacks and barely blocked his attacks. Until...

Splat! Blood came out from his back and moved to the sides. Two sickles were stuck on his back and forcefully ripped off his thin part of his back armor. He didn't know what just happened and it was too late for him to drink a health potion.

"Impossible..."

He fell to the ground and died.

Grim Rime and Aleksander ran and started to attack him. Reinhardt and Gunther were attacking him from afar. Trevor easily dodged their attacks with both of his hands on the sides dragging the sickles on the ground. Grim and Aleksander screamed their lungs out with frustration.

Grim was pissed and grabbed Trevor from behind. He looked at Gunther and nodded. Gunther ran and thrust his Halberd at Trevor, but he freed himself easily from Grim grips. Gunther pulled his halberd and almost stabbed Grim in the stomach. A smile of relief from both of them turned upside down. Two sickles were crossed on Grim's neck and Trevor pulled it out. Grim's neck was squirting blood and Trevor slashed his sickles so fast that Grim couldn't turn around nor dodged it. Grim fell and died from bleeding.

Gunther swung his halberd and when both of his hands were lifted, A sickle struck him on his left ribs and then pulled him towards Trevor. He swung his halberd to the ground, but it was pointless since he was too close to Trevor that his halberd became useless. Trevor easily attacked him and then pushed him away with his health below 10%. When he grabbed the health potion from his inventory, Two sickles were already an inch above his head.

"F*ck me..."

Kingstar ordered Reinhardt and Gunther to fall back. Ivonna and her friends couldn't believe that the guy in front of them is the same person they met a few days ago. Emma was the only person that has seen Trevor in action like this and it didn't surprise her at all.

Kingstar and Queenstar with Reinhardt and Gunther are gathering to find a new plan, while Ivonna and her friends are guarding the exit so Trevor can't leave the area when the time comes. Ivonna's only purpose is to tank Trevor's attacks and waste his time and let the others do the rest and hope they can defeat him.

At this point, no players dare to approach Trevor and they all just wanted to watch everything with their own eyes. Nobody was brave enough to even move from where they were standing. Some of them came here to records the fights and couldn't wait to upload them on the internet. What surprised them was the duration of the recording is still around 15 minutes since they entered the Tombs of Kings'.

Blood covered Trevor's whole body. A combination of a black robe and red blood. He stood in the middle of tombs and was surrounded by dead bodies made one of the players pointed his finger at him.

"Azrael..."
