Legacy of the Betelgeuse
Chapter 220 - Episode 220: The Fall Of An Empire. (2)All the players start attacking Trevor and Krestan even though they do know it's just Trevor who got nerfed by the system, not his Amruchi nor Krestan. Trevor isn't panicking or nervous at all. instead, he smiles with excitement and a beam of light is coming from the ground where he's standing at and then his eyes are glowing red. They thought by reducing his stats by 50% will affect him, but turns out they're wrong, and Trevor still massacring the players like before as if it didn't affect him at all and somehow it even makes him even stronger for some reason.
Aksevel's summons are charging at Trevor and Sulrk is stomping the ground with his trident that makes all the players around him stunned, but not Trevor. Trevor is laughing evilly while slaughtering the players that are stunned by Aksevel's stupidity. Trevor is enjoying his time and Krestan is also having fun killing the players and the soldiers that keep coming toward him while Trevor's Amruchi is helping Trevor and devour the players that getting knocked down by Trevor.
At this moment, Trevor has killed more than thousands of players, and it keeps counting. Aksevel's summons is quite useful to the players since they can use them as a shield to protect them from Trevor's attack, but they're still bothersome since they can't coordinate with the players' movements and sometimes they're blocking their path or even pushing them and getting washed away.
Diamond and Lothair are waiting for all the citizens to leave the capital city, then their clan members approach them and tell them that all the citizens have been put in a safer place. They both nod with understanding and finally they can go all out from now on. Diamond orders his members to go on full gas and no brakes, and it's the same to Lothair and his clan members.
A few hours have passed and the players keep throwing themselves at Krestan and Trevor. They know it doesn't matter if they died instantly because they can respawn in their last spawn point which is still around the city so they can go back to fight as soon as possible. On the other hand, Trevor hasn't shown any sign of exhaustion and they're all betting on waiting for him to get exhausted since it's the best strategy they have.
The sun is down, and Trevor starts to catch his breath. They know that the time has finally come for them to go for another attempt to go on all-out and bombard him relentlessly. For the first time ever, Trevor runs away and uses [Moonsteps] to the other side of the area. All of them are getting excited just because of that, and it boosts their morale high.
Diamond is readying his stances while looking at Trevor who's standing in front of him.
"What's wrong, Trevor? The exhaustion debuff starting to kick in?"
Trevor smiles and scoffs.
"No, not really..."
Trevor is spreading his arms and dangling his chained sickles, but then a big shadow figure comes out from his back, and the shadow is also holding two chained sickles in its hands, but then Diamond realizes that those are not sickles that the shadow is holding, but two massive scythes that are attached to a chain.
Trevor smirks.
"I just got a new skill and I want to test it, that's all."
Trevor is swinging his chained sickles and the giant shadow is copying his movements and at the same time, when the giant shadow is swinging his chained scythes, the strong wind blows everyone's faces. Diamond is staring at the giant shadow but then Trevor jumps very high and whips down his chained sickles at them.
Diamond gulps.
"Oh, for f*ck sake..."
When Trevor's shadow is whipping its chained scythe at them, Sulrk slithers toward them and tries to block Trevor's attack, but as soon as the scythe hits Sulrk's trident, it breaks and Surlk is cut into half. Trevor just one-hit a boss monster just like that, and everyone is shocked and speechless from what they're witnessing. Diamond who almost gets hit by Trevor's attack falls on his back while staring at the massive scythes in front of him.
Trevor lands on the ground and stands properly while swinging his sickles.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? The night is still long, let's have some fun, shall we?"
Trevor uses his [Afterimages] skill and he tilts his head and smiles at the players. He swings his chained sickles, then he spins around and whips his chained sickles at the players. All the players who are 20 meters around Trevor just get wiped by his giant shadow's attack. Concrete walls, concrete roads, and players are destroyed from every swing he does. At that moment, everyone thought the same thing. It doesn't matter how if they have millions or even more players in this battle because, in the end, they're just nothing to him.
Aksevel's summons is gone and he has nothing left to use. All the players are giving up on trying and they're running away from the battle. They have no reason for them to fight anymore, it's just a waste of time and the outcome is already decided even before they raise their weapons to fight. Diamond and Lothair are looking at their clan members, and they both are worried and feel bad about them since not all of their clan members know about the truth.
The ground is shaking and everyone looks at each other with confusion, but then they all look back and they see the Eluna Empire's soldiers are marching into the capital city. A total of 800.000 soldiers are walking toward the Palace, and they all feel so relieved and let them walk through. Diamond and Lothair look at each other and nod. They both decide to fall back for now and it's time for them to tell the rest of their clan members the truth.
Since Diamond and Lothair are regrouping, all the players including Aksevel decide to do the same and let the soldiers handle Trevor and Krestan. Trevor and Krestan are standing and staring at the soldiers, Trevor looks at Krestan and shakes his head.
"Let me handle this one for now. You can rest for a bit."
Krestan is nodding with understanding.
"You're the boss."
Krestan sits down and leans on the wall and sighs with relief.
Trevor rests his scythe on his shoulder while staring at the soldiers. The soldiers are unsheathing their weapons and they're readying their stances, Trevor is staring at them one by one and he knows that the soldiers are scared of him, he's not moving nor saying a single word and he wants to see what will the soldiers do when they look at the damages he made and the dead bodies of their comrades.
Trevor is brushing his Amruchi's mane while keeps staring at them to show dominance.
"It's useless for you all to fight. Go and stay with your family because I'm not here to kill innocent people."
All the players who stay near the Palace are looking at Trevor with confusion, then a guy with his heavy armor that's different from the others is taking a step forward. He looks like a general of the army, he's pointing his finger at the dead bodies of the soldiers behind Trevor.
"Your words don't match with what you did, and we are here not to bargain nor to have a conversation. We are here to take you down and for killing His Majesty. Don't waste your breath by saying useless words."
Trevor smirks and tilts his head.
"Oh, you misunderstood my intention. I'm not trying to do all that, what I meant is to give you all a chance to spare your own life because you can't win no matter how hard you try."
Trevor is pointing his hand at Krestan.
"Do you think you all can win against him? With only this many forces? Look at your men and women behind you, they're scared and you know it. I will give you one last chance, either you fight and die or leave and live. There's no third option."
The general laughs and raises his weapon and points at Trevor.
"We are the strongest army that the Eluna Empire has, death is nothing as long as we die serving the empire we love!"
Trevor is chuckling and shaking his head, then he sighs while looking at the soldiers.
"Listen to me carefully. It seems that your life means nothing to him, and the moment he realized that he made a huge mistake, he would leave but at what cost? Your life. Remember, the moment you breathe your last breath, the one who is responsible for your death is him, not me. I'm giving you all the same chance to leave and live, but you can't make the decision since he's the one who decides either you live or die."
They start to have a second thought, but then the general is gritting his teeth.
"Don't listen to him! He's nothing but having a big mouth!"
Trevor is laughing quietly and then he sighs.
"I guess you're stupid."
Trevor looks at his Amruchi then he nods. His Amruchi growls and then flies toward the general so fast that he doesn't have time to react. His Amruchi bites his neck and the general's body is slowly frozen until all his body is frozen to death. The soldiers are surprised and looking at his Amruchi is crunching the head of the general with fear.
Trevor is looking at them.
"Now, since he can no longer make the decision, what are you going to do? Fight me or leave?"
