Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Krestan is more shocked and confused than Saintess Aria, Avriel is slowly backing away from Saintess Aria until she can no longer feel the sting around her skin. Avriel looks at her palms and then puts her right hand onto her chest and she can feel that her heart is beating so fast. Krestan is slowly approaching Avriel while furrowing his forehead with disbelief, Avriel is putting her hand on her forehead while shaking her head because she feels dizzy after being exposed to the divine power.

"What happened to you?"

Avriel is ignoring Krestan and keeps holding her head, and when Krestan is about to approach her, Avriel stares at him.

"Stop, I'm fine... Just bring that thing to the Holy Temple as soon as possible before he wakes up."

Krestan nods with understanding and uses a spell to make Alucard float and then he and Saintess Aria with her followers are entering the portal. The priestesses are carrying Ivonna's body while Krestan is carrying Trevor's body then the portal disappears after all of them enter the portal. Avriel's eyes are staring at the ground where Aspen's body is, she paralyzed him and he can't move at all right now.

A footstep is coming toward her and she turns her head to see the person who's approaching her. It's Grisell and she's looking at Aspen for quite a while and then looks at Avriel while giving her a thumbs up. Avriel looks at the frontline and sees the players are slowly pushing and defeating the subjects because those subjects are weakened because of the power of Saintess Aria's gemstone. Avriel looks at Grisell and puts her hands on her chest while bowing her head a bit.

"Thank you for helping me, and for giving me this dagger..."

Avriel is grabbing the dagger and looking at it, Grisell is giggling happily while shaking her head.

"No need! That dagger suits you very well, and thank you for helping us deal with the subjects. If you want a new and stronger dagger, I will provide it to you and I will make the best dagger in the Orion!"

Avriel is spinning the dagger and she really likes the dagger because it fits perfectly in her hand and the weight is perfect for her. She looks at Aspen and walks toward him, she knows that Aspen is awake but can't do anything. She turns his body around and he's staring at Avriel with hatred but he can't even open his mouth, Avriel looks at Grisell while raising her eyebrow.

"Is it done?"

Grisell nods while smiling happily and then she looks at Aspen while smiling evilly.

"You'll soon be famous, Aspen, and the whole world will know the truth about what you're doing and know who's the bad guy truly is."

Aspen's eyes are wide open and notice that this whole time Grisell has been recording him, and he doesn't know when Grisell starts recording. Grisell is raising her eyebrows while grabbing the snack in her inventory, she munches the snack while staring at him.

"What? Do you realize now that I have been recording everything? Don't worry, you won't be able to make an excuse at all because I have been recording everything from the very beginning. I wonder what kind of treatment the community will give you when they know the whole truth. I will be amazed if you're still able to show your face in the game again."

Grisell walks toward him and crouches next to him.

"Goodbye, Aspen. You were messing with the wrong person, and you knew what will happen to you if you fail, so I can't wait to enjoy your suffering."

Aspen is furrowing his forehead with anger but he can't do anything.

(6 hours later.)

Kingstar stabs his sword on the ground because all the subjects are defeated, everyone is cheering and screaming in joy. All the players are laying down on the ground while chuckling and laughing with disbelief while Kingstar and the rest of the Ophiuchus are gathering while staring at all of them with a big smile on their faces. Jessica is walking toward Kingstar and the others, she waves at them and is followed by her commanders.

"Is it done, Kingstar?"

Kingstar is massaging his right wrist while nodding in agreement.

"Yes, we are done. All the subjects have been defeated, it's all thanks to all the players here that we manage to win the war."

Diamond is stretching his neck while groaning in pain.

"This is weird, if we are done here, why we don't receive any notification from the VoW?"

Everyone is staring at the cloudy sky that is slowly disappearing, Liu then looks at the place where Alucard was at.

"Maybe because Alucard is still alive and now he's gone, not just him but Ivonna, Trevor, and the Saitness with her followers are also gone."

Jessica looks around and furrows her forehead.

"Where's Trevor?"

Emma, Francesca, and Chelsea are glaring at her with annoyance and she realizes that and looks at the three of them, she immediately shuts her mouth. Queenstar is staring and furrowing her forehead at the three of them with curiosity but she stays quiet about it. Kingstar and the others are also looking around to find those two but they can't find them anywhere. Grisell and Avriel are approaching them while Grisell is waving his arm at them, they're all waving back at her but they notice that Avriel is dragging someone with her left hand.

Francesca is furrowing her forehead while looking at Grisell.

"Where's Ivonna and Trevor?"

Avriel looks at them while crossing her arms.

"They both are in the Holy Temple, they need to rest after what happened. Rather than asking about those two, how about you guys deal with this guy over here. Everyone notices that the person she brought with her was Aspen, all of them are smiling and smirking at him. Kingstar looks at the rest of them while smiling happily.

"Let's deal with him right now and tell the world the truth."

Everyone nods in agreement.

Kingstar grabs Aspen on the head and drags him through the crowd of players, all of them are looking at the Ophiuchus walking past them but their eyes are pointing at the person that Kingstar is dragging. None of them know who that person is because he's wearing a mask to cover half of his face, and then Kingstar is asking everyone's attention while the rest of the Ophiuchus is standing behind him. Kingstar is putting the guy in front of him and removes the mask on his face, everyone is shocked to see Aspen, one of the Heroes of Orion. Everyone looks at Kingstar with confusion but then Kingstar throws Aspen's head to the ground.

"I know that all of you are so confused right now, but I will keep it short and simple because I know that all of you are exhausted from the battle."

Kingstar is pointing at Aspen.

"He's the cause of all the trouble, everything that you saw today and those people that you fought were all under this guy's command. He's working under Alucard, the Abomination, and he's the one who kidnapped those people around the three sovereignties! He's the one who started the war amongst the three sovereignties! If you don't believe my word, we will upload all the evidence on Utube, and I want you to think with, while we are struggling and fighting these subjects, where was he? He didn't come because he's the one who lead those subjects!"

Everyone is starting to look at each other, and murmurs from their mouths start to fill the silence. Kingstar clears his throat and everyone immediately pays attention to him again.

"There's something else that I want you all to know and I'm streaming it right now so those who didn't join us today here can know as well. The truth that we want to tell you is that Trevor is the one who gave us all the information about the subjects and he was the one who proposed the plan that prevented the three sovereignties from waging war against each other."

Everyone is looking at him with confusion and disbelief, Kingstar sighs and crosses his arms.

"I know that you all won't believe it and we already know that you all will be like this. That's why Trevor sacrificed himself on taking the blame for everything that happened in the past half-year because it's easier for all of you to believe that he was the cause of all the things that happened in the past."

Kingstar looks at every one of them while keep crossing his arms.

"I know that you all might think that why don't you reveal the truth back there, and the reason for that's because if we tell you the truth, some of you will be skeptical about it since we don't have enough evidence, and conflicts and dramas will flooding the community. That's why Trevor did that in the first place because he didn't want all of you fighting each other and prefer hating on the same person which is himself."

Kingstar rests his hands on his waist while sighing and shaking his head.

"He didn't complain and took every punishment that all of you wanted because he thought it was the right thing to do. We kept silent about it and saw him suffer on his own while the rest of you can play without any worries. That's why all of you saw him here on the battlefield because he was a part of us, he handled hundreds or even thousands of subjects that are below us on his own because he doesn't want to be praised like any of us who are standing in front of all of you right now. If you don't believe me, go down there and look it for yourself."

Kingstar looks at Aspen.

"The NPCs that Trevor killed were Aspen's colleagues, they were assassins who killed innocent people. We can't explain everything to you right now because we are short on time, and that's why we will explain everything in the forum and I will give a statement during the interview later this week. For now, I want you all to know that Trevor isn't the bad guy here, but this guy in front of us. Not just him, but he also has an accomplice, his name is Aksevel."

Everyone is starting to murmur again and there's no way for Kingstar to stop them and so he let them all be and make their own conclusion. Francesca and Ivonna's friends are holding their laughter while looking at Kingstar, Michael is patting Kingstar's shoulder while giggling.

"The way you make Trevor look pitiful is amazing, you know that Trevor was having fun during his banned time and laughing at us during a meeting."

Everyone is smiling and shaking their head while holding their laughter as well. Kingstar scoffs and looks at the players while smiling.

"Because he deserves to be liked by them since he's our leader."
