Legacy of the Betelgeuse

The four of us are logging in to the game, Emma and Chelsea are going to hunt for material because Emma wants to get herself nice costume-like equipment to wear like mine for a non-battle occasion while Ivonna and I are going to the Pit of Hell because I still haven't gotten what I want from the albino spiders inside Aranian's Spider's lair and Ivonna is here to help me out.

On our way to the Pit of Hell, there are so many players are entering the dungeon, and most of them are second-generation players. We both enter the dungeon while the players are looking at Ivonna in awe, everybody knows who she is and they all want to approach her but seeing her in full equipment and wearing a helmet makes them hesitate to talk to her.

We enter the dungeon and immediately go to Aranian's Spider's lair, we see so many players inside the dungeon hunting, leveling, and farming the spiders and centipedes. We walk past them and keep on walking, we see Queen Arachne's egg that's still in the early stage so there's nothing to be worried about. While we are walking deeper into the cave we realize that some players are following us from far behind, we both then lean toward the wall in the dark to hide. We hear their footsteps are coming toward us so slowly, we can see them from over here, and when they're about to walk further, Ivonna reveals herself to the players while staring at them.

"Why are you following us?"

Four players are jumping away from her and hitting the wall behind them, three of them are men and one of them is a woman. Ivonna tilts her head while raising her eyebrows, one of the guys is bowing his head at her while scratching the back of his head.

"We want to see where are you guys going, that's all."

I come out from the shadow and stand next to Ivonna, I furrow my eyebrows and look at them, somehow these people are familiar but I kind of don't remember where I see them. I keep staring at them and the four of them are starting to get scared, but then I remember these kids are from the time when I gave Jason a tour inside the game, these kids are the ones who challenged the Unexpected Event back there.

Ivonna looks at their equipment and shakes her head.

"Don't follow us, it's too dangerous for you guys to be in here. You don't want to lose your EXP in here because the monsters that are in front of us are stronger than the hatchlings from back there."

The woman is looking at her in awe because of how majestic is Ivonna's armor and the weapon are, she then takes a step forward.

"Miss Ivonna, I'm a huge fan and I want to see you in action in person. This is my idea to follow you, so we are here because of me. Don't worry about that, we just leveled up and we have 0 EXP right now and even if we die we are not going to lose anything. We are not going to bother you both and we are just want to watch you, that's all!"

Ivonna looks at me and I just shrug at her. Ivonna sighs and looks at the woman and the rest of her party.

"I don't think it's safe and it will be a waste of time for you to follow us, but if that's what you want then please take care of yourself because we both are here for something important."

The four of them are saluting her and giving them the brightest smiles that I have ever since. I chuckle and Ivonna looks at me while smiling and shaking her head.

We are entering the Aranian's Spider's lair and these four are following us from behind while staring at the disgusting and slimy walls, none of them are disgusted by it and just walking in silence. Ivonna and I have no idea if Aranian has been defeated or not, but I hope that she's already dead and so we don't have to fight her.

It's nothing but silence and the worst part is that there's Aranian sleeping on the ground and that only means one thing, we have to deal with it first before I can go up there to kill the albino spider. Ivonna turns around and looks at the players behind us, she tells them to go back further to the tunnel behind us. They nod with understanding and run to the tunnel then hide on the walls of the tunnel, Ivonna looks at me, and we both nod.

Ivonna uses [Blessing] to me and then she walks toward Aranian, I follow her from behind and then Aranian is awake, she looks at both of us and starts screeching so loudly. Ivonna readies her shield and lance, Aranian then charges toward us, I'm pointing my staff at Ivonna and cast [Icy Heart] then I point my staff toward Aranian and cast [Blazing Stonehammer] and [Firestorm]. The spiders are weak against fire element and my spells deal a lot of damage toward her and her hatchlings, with just those two spells, all of her babies are dead and Aranian already lose one-sixth of her HP.

Ivonna is tanking her and the damage she takes from Aranian is so small that it feels like a scratch on her shield, while Ivonna is taking the aggro, I go to the side and aim my staff toward Aranian's abdomen which is her weak spot. Without wasting any time I use [Dominion], [Divine Aura], [Frenzy], and all the necessary buffs food and drink, then I run toward Aranian from the side so she's inside the radius of my [Dominion] skill. As soon as she's inside the radius, I cast [Fireball] toward her abdomen and it deals a lot of damage that's enough to make her screech in pain.

The spiders start coming out from the holes on the walls, Ivonna runs toward me then she's standing in front of me, she uses [Macedonian Phalanxes] to protect me while I use [Firewall] around us so the spiders that are walking past that wall will get burned to death. Aranian is hitting the first layer of the Ion Shield while I'm pointing my staff at her abdomen and cast [Inferno Spear], then Aranian immediately screeching and wiggling her body, which means the third phase begins is about to begin.

I summon Azrael and order him to use his [Spectral Form], Azrael flies toward Aranian that's about to climb up but she's stopped by Azrael's [Frost Canine] and [Blizzard Blitz]. Fire and Ice combined and it deals heavy damages to her, Aranian screeching in pain and tries to climb up but her body is half frozen and it's hard for her to even step her feet onto the wall, then she falls to the ground with her back on the ground. We are basically just skipped the third phase, I look at her HP, and she's already on one-third of her max HP.

I keep pointing my staff at her while drinking [Max Stamina Potion (S)] to replenish my stamina, Azrael keeps biting and charging through Aranian's body while Ivonna is busy handling the spiders around us by taunting them and aggroing all the spiders toward her. Then, in just 2 minutes, Aranian is dead, we both walk toward Aranian that laying on the ground with her body as stiff as a rock. Ivonna grabs all the drops and puts them in her inventory while Azrael is busy eating her body parts.

I hop on Azrael's back and I order him to fly to the top of the cave because that's where the albino spider is, and when I see the huge webbings on the ceiling, I see that cute white spider is staring at me. Azrael lands on the webbing and I get off of his back and change my staff and spellbook to [Lazy Luck Daggers], I run toward the albino spider and when he's about to escape, I use [Moonsteps] and appear in front of it. I slash my daggers toward it and die within a minute, I look at the loot, and finally, I see the drop that I have been looking for, the [Silverlining Silk].

I hop on Azrael's back and we dive down to the ground, the players are surroundings Ivonna and they're cheering and praising her. I get off of Azrael's back and walk toward them, Ivonna looks at me and raises her eyebrows.

"Did you get it?"

I show her the long silk in my hands.

"I got it."

The players are approaching me and they're looking at the silk while wowing in awe, one of the guys is looking at me and raises his eyebrows with his eyes are wide open.

"Wow, what's that? That looks like a rare drop or something."

I chuckle and nod.

"Yeah, this is a rare drop from a rare monster."

They're all looking at me and saying the same thing.

"Awesome!"

I look at Ivonna and tilt my head toward the tunnel.

"Shall we leave?"

Ivonna smiles and nods, but then the four of them are looking at both of us, the woman is raising her hand shyly.

"Can we add you both as friends?"

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Sure, I'm sending the request now..."

I do the same because these are newbies and I think they don't really know about me, the dark purple-haired guy using the two-handed sword is Aven Beyer, the blonde-haired guy using staff is Zersan Chriss, the black-haired guy using sword and shield is Halfaer Iloxan, and the woman using a spear with red-haired name is Ilvia Brenda. They're surprised when they see my name, turns out they know me and the bad deeds I did, but then they both are not bothered with it and look at me in awe. Aven looks at me and gives me a thumbs up.

"You're so awesome, Mister Trevor! I never thought that I would be able to see you in person! Turns out you're not that evil as what the community told us!"

I scoff and shake my head.

"It doesn't matter what people said about me, because I do what I want to do, but thank you."

They all nod, then Aven looks at me while nodding.

"We will keep this a secret! We won't tell anyone about it!"

I nod and chuckle.

"Thank you, I really appreciate that."

Ivonna walks and stands next to me, she looks at them and nods.

"We are done here, let's go outside."

We all nod and then leave the Pit of Hell.
