Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 55 - Episode 55: Ulaggin And Uragin.

I walked into the right tunnel and killed all the centipedes inside the tunnel. When I reached the end of the tunnel, the smell of pungent odor from their acid struck my nose even though I covered my nose with the scarf. This smell is worse compared to the smell that spiders released.

There are hundreds of big holes around the area. Those holes are made for the boss to hide and ambush the players. The reason why I chose Aranian for Ivonna and her clan members to defeat is because this boss is way harder to defeat and I don't think Michael and Francesca can do any damages to the boss here since the exoskeletons of the boss are too much to handle.

A rumbling sound is coming from above. I look up and there he is, showing his head from the hole. The boss of the centipedes, Ulaggin. Then another one comes out from the hole in front of me, and that is Uragin. Ulaggin and Uragin are the same centipedes, they just have two heads, at the front and at the back.

[Ulaggin and Uragin (Boss)]

Level: 350

HP: 319.000

STA: 6.800

ATK: 3000-4000

DEF: 1800

MDEF: 100

Both of them are crawling back into the holes. I can hear their foots crawling and echoing in the cave. I walk to the center of the cave because it's the safest place and easier to dodge if they're ambushing me. I drink the lucky potion and readying my stances.

Ulaggin comes out from the hole behind me, I turn around and dodge it. Then Uragin slams his head on the ground where I'm standing, but luckily I dodge that as well. I scoff

"I guess I have to go all for this."

(At the entrance of the Pit of Hell)

The ground is shaking. Francesca and the others are looking back.

"I can't believe he's fighting the boss on his own."

Michael is humming.

"Don't you guys curious about the fight? I honestly want to go back there and watch him."

Hans and Michael nod with an agreement while Francesca and Emma shake their heads. Francesca sighs.

"If you want to watch then go ahead. We are going to rest here until Ivon is awake and Trev kills the boss anyway. I don't want to go back in there, and especially the tunnel with hundred of centipedes..."

Emma nods with an agreement. Michael looks at Hans and Leonardo. They nod and smile while walking back to the pit.

Michael, Hans, and Leonardo came back to where the giant egg is at. They heard a screeching sound coming from the tunnel in front of them. They were looking at each other and walked toward the right tunnel. The deeper they walked into the tunnel the louder the screeching sound was and the ground was shaking quite intensely.

They carefully walked toward the end of the tunnel and took a peek. Trevor attacked and dodged Ulaggin and Uragin attacks in the mid-air, he swung his sickles and stabbed them on their back. They have never seen any players flying in the air and dodge all the attacks. It was unbelievable for the three of them. They looked at him in awe and disbelieve. Trevor broke some of the exoskeletons already and he attacked those spots over and over.

He wrapped his chained sickles in his arms and grabbed the scythe. A huge shadow appeared behind him and he stabbed his scythe on the wound on the body. He unwrapped his chained sickles and three afterimages appeared. Because of the afterimages, his shadow also has three afterimages. A single attack from him is equal to seven attacks because of those and made his attacks so deadly.

Hans shook his head.

"He got overpowered skills... I have never seen anyone who has those sets of skills like him. With those skills and his stats, he could solo everything without a problem."

Leonardo nodded with an agreement.

"He's tankier than Ivonna, and now he has more damage compared to the three of us combined. I never thought to see something like this other than in anime or novels."

Michael sighed.

"Well, they called him Angel of Death already and it really fits him. Can you imagine what he could do later in the future? Because I can't, even now I still can't believe what I'm seeing."

Hans and Leonardo nodded with an agreement.

The centipede screeching in pain and release some kind of acid from its mouths and spraying it all over the place. The smell is horrible and the three of them had to cover their noses with their hands. This is the last phase and Trevor immediately switched one of his sickles with a dagger.

Trevor noticed them and screams at them.

"What are you doing?! Get away from there because the whole area is covered with acid! It's venomous! if you're too close you will be paralyzed and you will take massive damage over time until you die!"

It was too late for them to run away because they got paralyzed by the acid. Their HP slowly depleting, Trevor clicked his tongue and looked at the ground that is covered with acid.

"Damn it! Why are they in here? This should be an easy job but thanks to them I have to take them to safety."

Trevor used [Moonsteps] and appeared in front of them. He stepped on the acid, but thanks to his LUK he didn't get paralyzed and didn't take any damages. He grabbed the three of them while dodging Ulaggin and Uragin's attacks. He mumbled while carrying the three of them.

"Thanks to you guys I have to bring you far away from here so I can use my [Reawakening] skill and use my [Frenzy] skill. Because if I don't do that, you'll be dead on my hands."

Trevor carried them into the tunnel and then threw them as far as he could. He then left them there and went back to the fight Ulaggin and Uragin.

Trevor fought for 30 minutes and he backed away to drank Lucky Potion. The [Frenzy] skill's duration has ended. He used [Reawakening] then [Divine Aura] and [Frenzy] again. He killed all the centipedes that were swarming and surrounding him maniacally because he went frenzied, then attacked Ulaggin and Uragin.

(Outside the Pit of Hell)

Everyone is looking at the VoW. Francesca is scoffing with disbelief.

"He singlehandedly killed the boss in less than two hours..."

Ivonna groans and opens her eyes.

"Who did?"

Francesca looks at Ivonna and is pointing at the VoW.

"Trevor did. He's too overpowered..."

Ivonna sits down and staring at the VoW.

"He's something else. We can't catch up with him no matter what we do because he knows everything about the game, but for some reason, I don't hate him or jealous. He shared his knowledge with us and we also gave that knowledge to the players."

Francesca nods with an agreement.

"You can't hate him because of that or because he's your type?"

Ivonna furrows her forehead and looks at Francesca with disbelief.

"Excuse me? What? No!"

Francesca is giggling mischievously and teases her. Ivonna smacks Francesca's shoulder and both of them are teasing each other. Emma approaches them.

"They're back."

Francesca and Ivonna look at the pit. Trevor is carrying Michael, Hans, and Leonardo. The three of them approach him. Ivonna checks on them and then looks at Trevor.

"What happened to them?"

Trevor explains what happened to the three of them. Then Ivonna asks her members that have a skill that can cure a status ailment.

After Michael, Hans, and Leonardo are cured, everyone is resting on the field and sitting around a huge bonfire that we made. We are eating our food while talking. I remember the ring that I got from killing 100.000 players back then. I don't know what it does since there were no other players back then other than Becker and me. The description said the player will die when equipped.

I approach Emma and show her the ring. Ivonna and her friends are looking at me with excitement. Emma smiles.

"For me?! Are you going to propose me in the game?"

I scoff and shake my head.

"You wish... Give me your hand."

Emma happily raises her hand. I put the ring on her index finger. Then Emma immediately collapse. We are looking at her and she's dead. I'm chuckling.

"So it's true that when you wear the ring you will die."

Ivonna and the others are looking at me with a weird look on their faces.
