Legacy of the Betelgeuse

All the doppelgangers are running down the pyramid, Kingstar orders all the players to go back and reposition. Everyone doesn't know from which timeline of their past since they can't see the status screen of the doppelgangers, and for some reason, all the Ophiuchus are panicking about something which is why they're backing away. I walk toward Kingstar and the others and as soon as they see me, Kingstar grabs my robe with his eyes wide open.

"What are we going to do?! If these players know that there's a doppelganger of yours in between those doppelgangers they will be questioning your identity! Not just that, we can't win against your doppelganger and there's no way we can proceed to the next phase with your doppelganger around!"

Everyone is looking at me, I smile while shaking my head.

"Don't worry, I don't see my doppelganger amongst them because I would be panicking as well if I see myself in there. I think the reason that there's no doppelganger amongst them is that I didn't participate in hitting Atraxthes earlier since I was too far away from the pyramid and I didn't have the time to go up there to hit him."

All of them turn around and look at the doppelganger and check if there's my doppelganger amongst them, and after a full minute of looking at the doppelgangers thoroughly they don't see mine amongst the doppelgangers, they all sigh with relief. Kingstar looks at me and nods with understanding, then after he and the others know that there's no doppelganger of mine, Kingstar orders all the players to get ready to attack the doppelgangers. All the players raise their weapons and cheer with understanding, Kingstar looks at his own doppelganger and smirk.

"Attack!"

All the players charge toward the doppelganger, and the archers and spellcasters immediately bombard the doppelgangers with arrows and spells, but then Ivonna's doppelganger is running to the front and lifts her shield up. A barrier appears and protect all the doppelgangers from projectile attacks, Kingstar and the others are looking at Ivonna and she's just looking back at them while shrugging, now they all know that the doppelgangers are different from the fallen players since they can use the same skill as them, but still, they have no idea from which timeline of these doppelgangers came from.

As soon as they swing their weapons at the doppelgangers, they realize that these doppelgangers are so weak because their damages are quite high compared to when they fought the fallen players, it's just these doppelgangers knows exactly what kind of move that the players are going to use and try to dodge it rather than throwing their bodies to the players like what the fallen players did. The problem is that Kingstar and all the Ophiuchus's doppelgangers are quite strong and not just them but Emma and the other's doppelgangers as well, the players can't handle them and so Kingstar and the others run toward their own doppelgangers to have a 1 versus 1.

Kingstar looks at his own doppelganger and realizes that the armor that his doppelganger is wearing is from the old days when he was still level 250, he tells the others about the equipment of the doppelgangers, everyone looks at their own doppelgangers and they realize the armor that those doppelgangers wear is their old armor. Knowing that, they immediately can tell what kind of skills that they have back then, and then they're all start attacking with the new skills and moves that those doppelgangers don't know or haven't learned.

It goes so well that all the doppelgangers are easily defeated, it doesn't even be hard for them except for Francesca because she really hates doppelgangers and she had to ask for Emma and Chelsea's help to beat her own doppelganger. Atraxthes looks so angry when he sees all his army are gone, he lifts his hourglass again, but then Kingstar realizes that the hourglass is one of the symbols that's on the pillar, he looks around and then points his finger to the pillar with the hourglass' symbol on it.

"We need to destroy that pillar fast!"

Ivonna grabs Kingstar's shoulder and shakes her head.

"That isn't necessary, look."

I'm standing in front of the pillar and cast [Hailstorm] and [Thunderstorm], the pillar is cracking and the HP is dropping very fast. Kingstar looks at all the players and points his finger at the pyramid.

"Everyone! Run towards the pyramid! We are going to attack Atraxthes! Don't bother with the timer because we should be able to defeat him in 3 minutes if we use everything that we got, go!"

All the players are running towards the pyramid and Atraxthes is furious while glaring at me attacking the pillar.

"No! No! NOOOO!"

The pillar breaks into pieces, I turn around and look at Atraxthes with a huge smile on my face.

"Finally, I can clear this dungeon..."

The barrier disappears, All the players are climbing up the pyramid with excitement and they don't care if they step on each other feet because there's no time to waste since they're sick of this dungeon. We have spent 3 days inside the dungeon, it's normal for them to get so excited like that. I look at the small hole and it's already getting dark, I should participate in hitting Atraxthes this time. I use [Moonsteps] and appear at the other side of the pyramid and climb up the stairs while staring at the behind of Atraxthes' throne.

I use all the spells and bombard Atraxthes from behind, Ivonna looks down and she notices that I'm on the stairs casting spells at Atraxthes, I wink at her and smirk, she just smiles while blushing. Kingstar and the others are too focused on attacking Atraxthes, I look at my spellbook and look at the skill that I learned from Krestan and maybe it's a perfect time to see how much DPS it can be dealt, I point my staff and look at Atraxthes.

"Inferno Spear."

A red spear made of flame appears on top of Atraxthes' head, and it immediately pierces through his body the the flame is like wings spreading that deals damage for every 0.5 seconds. There's no duration of this spell and it's all based on my Stamina, 100 Stamina for every second. As long as my stamina is not 0, the [Inferno Spear]'s flame will keep burning the target. Kingstar looks at the spear that pierces through Atraxthes head and upper body, Atraxthes wakes up but he can't do anything and just screaming in pain while his head and upper body are in flame.

I'm staring at his health bar while keep pointing my staff at him.

Ivonna looks at the timer and then she looks at Kingstar.

"We still have 1 minute and 43 seconds!"

Kingstar is smiling happily and nods.

"Perfect!"

As soon as his health bar reaches 0, Atraxthes are twitching and his whole body is shrinking. He looks at the players in front of him with his eyes are drowning in the blood that is coming from the back of his eyes.

"This is unforgivable! My empire! My throne! My crown! My world!"

Atraxthes is shrinking and keeps shrinking until his body disappears into nothing as if something is sucking him into the otherworld. Finally, the notification that I have been waiting for appears.

[Congratulation to [K******r], [I*********n], [L***********s], [S***********d], [K***********n], [C*****n], [S*****], [A**************r], [B*******l], [M**********r], [E**********i], [A************r], [J******u] and the other [3482] players on defeating Atraxthes, The Keeper of Time (Sunny). They are the first one to defeat it. The rewards are [25 status points], [Unique Mystery Box], [Fame +1000]. May the Betelgeuse bless you!]

Everyone just stands there in silence when they see the drops from Atraxthes that are laying on the throne. Kingstar turns around and looks at all the players then raises his weapon, all the players rise theirs and scream in excitement and cheer with each other while hugging and some of them are falling on their knees because they can't believe they manage to clear the dungeon.

All the Ophiuchus is looking at the drops from Atraxthes, Kingstar looks at them and raises his eyebrows.

"So, how are we going to share the drops?"

Ivonna raises both of her hands and shakes her head.

"I will pass on my share, you guys can take them."

Ivonna walks away and goes downstairs to approach me, she waves at me, and then she jumps on top of me. I grab her and look at her, she looks so happy and she kisses my cheeks while giggling happily. She hugs me so tightly and I can feel her heart pounding very fast.

"We did it..."

I hug her as well and nod while smiling and scoffing.

"Yeah, we did."
