Legacy of the Betelgeuse

"Avriel! Wake up!"

Avriel is slicing her daggers at my throat but I keep dodging it while backing away from the crowd since she's more dangerous than Kalitzar right now. Ivonna and the others are struggling to hold off the line because the subjects are way stronger than before. We won't be able to hold on to this any longer, we need a miracle or something similar to that. Krestan and Azrael's hands are full, they can't handle more of subjects than the subjects they're dealing with right now.

Avriel disappears again and this is really annoying, I can't keep doing this while watching the others struggling. I don't want to kill her but at the same time, if I keep wasting my time with her, this will take forever. I decide to take the risk and activate [Reawakening] and activate [Dominion], [Divine Aura], [Frenzy], and [Bloodbath]. I stop moving and wait until she appears again, and the moment I think about it, my body moves on its own and I immediately grab her on the neck and slam her to the ground as hard as I can. I can tell her backbone is breaking and I punch her so many times on the face and I feel disgusted with myself for doing this.

Avriel is weak, I keep choking her and staring into her eyes, I have an idea on how to make her back to her sense. I call Azrael back and he immediately returns to my side, he looks at me and looks at Avriel, he's whining because of the condition on Avriel. I look at him and order him to bring Ivonna to my side as soon as possible, he understands and flies away toward Ivonna. Ivonna is busy tanking the subjects but then Azrael bites the back of her armor, Ivonna is startled and looks back, she realizes it's Azrael, and then she looks at me choking Avriel with both hands. Ivonna understands and hops on Azrael's back.

Ivonna jumps down from Azrael's back and sits next to me, she looks at Avriel's condition then looks at me with confusion.

"What happened to her?"

I look at her and raise my eyebrows.

"I gave her the pill that Kalitzar made, it's like doping that increases a person's stats very significantly. She was fine back then before Kalitzar turns into Alucard, and now she's affected by Alucard's skill which is hypnosis, and that made her like this. You have the skill to remove all kinds of ailments, right? Can you try it on her?"

Ivonna nods and immediately calls Aegis to her side since Aegis is the one who has it. Aegis is leaning her head toward Ivonna and Ivonna orders her to cure the ailment in Avriel's body. Aegis nods and she spreads her wings and something sparky comes out from her wings and falls onto Avriel's body. Avriel stops grunting and growling at me, her eyes are slowly closing little by little, and then she falls unconscious. Ivonna looks at me with curiosity and grabs my shoulder so tightly.

"Wait, if Avriel is affected with the hypnosis skill, do you think it will work out if I use this skill to the subjects?"

Before I can answer her question she shakes her head.

"Nevermind, it's useless since this skill isn't AoE."

Ivonna stands up and readying her lance and shield.

"I will go back to the frontline to help the others now, you should bring her to the back so Grisell can watch over her."

I nod with understanding and order Azrael to bring Avriel to Grisell's side. Azrael nods and bites her body and flies away to the forest where Grisell is at.

I ready my sickles and look at Kalitzar, I swing my sickles while running toward him from below. I throw my sickles at him but his wing is blocking my sickles, Kalitzar looks down and glares at me. He smirks and chuckles then starts laughing evilly that bolts of lightning are striking down the ground like in movies. Kalitzar is slowly descending and keeping his glare at me, I retract my sickles and hold them both in my hands. I can't win against him since I used all my skills already, but he can't do anything to me as well, so as long as it's a stalemate I hope the others will be able to defeat the subjects in the meantime.

Kalitzar is walking toward me with his sinister smile.

"You, you are different from the others..."

Kalitzar is chuckling mischievously while putting his claws under his chin.

"I can feel your desire on wanting to possess this heart of mine..."

I don't think he's Kalitzar, he has become Alucard entirely. I look at him and keep staring at him showing my confidence in myself. Alucard tilts his head while humming with confusion but then he starts to chuckle while covering his mouth with his giant hand.

"I see... you are indeed different from the others..."

Alucard is standing in front of me and grabs my face so gently and it feels so weird because I don't feel a threat coming from him at all.

"How about I offer you a deal, Trevor..."

He knows my name, I can assume that he's able to see my stats like how Krestan be able to see players' status. His hand is still groping my face as if he wants to feel the skin of my face and the skull beneath the skin. It gives me a chill down my spine and I'm so uncomfortable with this situation, I hope nobody is looking at us right now because this will look so weird. I can't take it anymore and slap his hand away from my face, Alucard chuckles and for some reason, his expression seems aroused because of that.

"Stop touching my face, and what do you want from me?"

Alucard crosses his arms while keep putting his finger down his chin.

"Why don't you become my servant, and I will give you the taste of the power that you desire? I can promise you that you will be overjoyed with the feeling of my power. I will make you the strongest being that will rule over the Orion."

I scoff and smirk.

"I'm not that stupid to be swayed with your words, you're the one and only beings that are being despised by the others. You're nothing but big words and lies, you can't even compete with the others in all aspects."

Alucard is gritting his teeth and his fangs are showing.

"If I remember correctly, you're indeed the weakest of them all because all you can do is run and hide even though you were the only one who survived. Your weakness disgusts me, Alucard, and I bet Heugron will beat you up to pulp if he's still alive now."

Alucard immediately grabs my neck and chokes me, I'm ready for this moment and immediately cross my hands and slit his throat with my sickles. He takes [1251] damage, he throws me away and I fall to the ground, he groans and the wound is healed in an instant. He glares at me and walks toward me with his eyes wide open and he's furious.

"You dare to insult me, you mortal! I will show you what suffering truly is! I will kill you over and over and I will destroy everything you have! Your existence will disappear and everyone will remember you as someone insignificant that died from his foolishness!"

Alucard slashes his claws at me but I block them with my sickles, his strength is overwhelming and I get knockback whenever he attacks me. His speed is also unbelievably fast and I'm barely able to catch up with him even if my DEX is very high. Alucard flies and strikes his wing at me, I manage to dodge it but the wind is strong enough to push me away and I fall to the ground as if I'm being struck by a bus with a high speed. Alucard is flying and lifts his hand and a purple orb appears on his hand.

"This will show you that it is futile to resist..."

The orb explodes and something small like balls are flying so randomly and hit dozens of the subjects behind him. The subjects are twitching and growling in pain but in an instant, their bodies are growing bigger and bigger, wings are coming out from their backs. They turn into a giant gargoyle, and they fly around then strike down the ground killing hundreds of high level players in an instant. This is bad, we can't keep on going like this, we need a way to kill them before Alucard transform the rest of the subjects into a gargoyle.

I stand up and suddenly I can feel a presence behind me, I look back and I'm surprised to see her in here. She looks and smiles at me, she puts her hand on my back while walking past me. She looks at Alucard and readying her spear, I shake my head and stop her before she does something stupid.

"Don't, you're not strong enough to fight him."

She turns around and looks at me.

"I know that and don't forget that I'm the strongest player from the Aarus Empire, I'm Jessica Malice and I'm the leader of the Malevolent Clan."

Jessica looks at something behind me and she nods up in that direction. I turn around and see thousands of portals are appearing from afar. Jessica chuckles and shakes her head.

"I'm not here on my own, I'm bringing all my members and allies with me, and there are millions of players who wanted to join as well, so I bring all of them with me."
