Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Kingstar and the others approach Ivonna. Ivonna is confused and looks at them. Kingstar put his sword on his shoulder.

"We lost our best men. We need to hold him down until they all respawn."

Francesca is looking at Kingstar with a cynical expression.

"Why should we do that? We have our own job to protect the exit so he wouldn't leave as soon as the restriction is lifted from him. We don't want to risk our position by accepting your request. Ivonna herself explained to you back then that you do what you want to do. What happened to you and your men is your responsibility."

Queenstar approaches Francesca furiously. Francesca bumps her body at her.

"What? What are you going to do? It's your own fault for being reckless. You knew he would be able to kill them easily and yet you made the same mistake again, aren't you?"

Ivonna grabs Francesca's shoulder and shakes her head. Francesca sighs and walks away. Ivonna looks at Kingstar.

"What is your plan?"

Kingstar looks at Trevor that is busy killing the players on the other side.

"We believe that you're the only person that can endure his damages. We want you to grab his attention while we are attacking him. That's all."

Francesca grabs Ivonna's shoulder while glaring at Kingstar furiously.

"You shameless bastard! You want her to be a sacrificial lamb. Why don't you do it by yourself?"

Queenstar is holding her sword so tightly and ready to attack Francesca. Michael is readying his axe just in case. Ivonna grabs Francesca's hand.

"It's fine, I think it's not a big deal."

Francesca is looking at Ivonna and clicks her tongue.

"Whatever... you're too nice to them, Ivonna."

Francesca walks away. Michael is looking at Francesca and she shakes her head while sighing. Ivonna looks at Francesca.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Please take the lead and make sure nobody moves from their position."

Francesca isn't looking back and she just lifts her hand and waves

"I got it..."

Ivonna lifts her shield and spear. She walks past Kingstar and towards Trevor. Kingstar and the others are following her from behind.

Ivonna readied her stances and the others did the same. Ivonna then started to run towards Trevor who was chasing one of the players.

"Save me, anyone!"

Clank! Ivonna blocked Trevor's attack. She looked back.

"Run!"

The player ran away as far as he could.

Ivonna immediately pushed her shield and Trevor got pushed back quite far. But he leaped towards her as soon as he recovered. Ivonna didn't make the same mistake and covered her sides with her shield and the other side with her spear. She blocked both of Trevor's sickles, but she couldn't hold it any longer and finally let a few attacks went through. She kept drinking health potions to keep her HP high.

Trevor was busy attacking Ivonna and then Kingstar and the others made a move. Gunther tried to bind him, but he kept failing. Reinhardt showered his arrows at him, and a few of them landed. Reinhardt then used [Aimed Shot] and the arrow flew at him. Trevor who was attacking Ivonna suddenly grabbed Ivonna's left hand and pulled her in. Trevor just switched his position with Ivonna and Ivonna immediately turned around and blocked the arrow. Before Ivonna managed to turn her shield, Trevor was above him and ready to pull down his sickles at her, but then Kingstar slashed him and pushed him away. Trevor hit one of the statues and sat on the floor after the impact.

They all smiled because they managed to take him down. Kingstar lifted his sword proudly.

"Stay down if you want to live."

Trevor stood up without saying anything and swung his sickles as if nothing happened to him. Kingstar clicked his tongue and annoyed with him. What made them wonder is how Trevor could survive all of the attacks without even drinking a single health potion. They concluded that Trevor's HP is low now.

Queenstar tapped on Kingstar's shoulder and ran past him towards Trevor. Not long after that, Kingstar followed her from behind.

Kingstar and Queenstar attacked Trevor consecutively for several minutes. He dodged their attacks as always and then Kingstar finally managed to slash Trevor on the chest. He bleeds and fell to the ground.

Kingstar laughed so hard.

"You are finished..."

Trevor's finger flinched. He chuckled.

"That was close..."

Trevor stood up and drank two fancy-looking bottles. He threw the bottles on the ground and crushed them with his foot. His eyes were no longer glowing and everyone could see his lively expression now. Back then he was expressionless and didn't talk. The people who noticed the difference are Emma, Ivonna, and her friends.

Trevor cracked his fingers and neck. He looked at Kingstar.

"You should've finished your job back then. Now you will be regretting not doing so."

Reinhardt shot an arrow at Trevor, but he dodged it. Trevor looked at him and tilted his head. He replaced one of the sickles with a dagger and ran towards Reinhardt. Kingstar and Queenstar chased him, but they couldn't catch up with him. Gunther threw magic spells at him, but he realized that Trevor is different from earlier. He moved more agile and swift compared to the earlier.

Gunther knew that it was pointless and looked at Reinhardt.

"We need to run!"

Reinhardt nodded with understanding and put the bow on his back.

Both of them ran as fast as they could, but Trevor's move speed was faster compared to both of them. Kingstar and Queenstar were far behind him and they couldn't help them. Reinhardt looked at Gunther and was surprised. A sickle stabbed him in the chest and it stuck on his collarbone then Trevor pulled him in. Reinhardt grabbed his bow and turned around while putting an arrow on his bow. But he couldn't find an opening since Gunther was blocking the way. Reinhardt clicked his tongue and knew that Gunther couldn't be saved. Then...

Clank!

Reinhardt turned around and he smiled with relief and so the others.

Diamond, Lothair, Alec, Grim Rime, and Aleksander have respawned. Alec protected Gunther from Trevor. Now Trevor is surrounded by them. Kingstar and Queenstar joined them.

Alec smirked at Kingstar.

"Sorry, boss. It took us a while to respawn. But we are here now."

Kingstar and Queenstar smiled. Kingstar readied his stance.

"It's better late than never. Let's go all out and put an end to this."

They nodded and smiled except for Diamond and Lothair.

"Understood, boss!"

Ivonna lowered his shield and spear. She walked back and approached her friends while looking at Kingstar and the others. Francesca greeted her.

"Welcome back."

Ivonna nodded.

"I'm back."

Emma looked at Trevor.

"Now he looks different than earlier. He looks like a human now."

Ivonna and the others chuckled. Michael rested his jaw on his hands on the axe.

"Do you think Trevor used a skill that enhanced his stats? Because he was strong and tanky as f*ck..."

Francesca chuckled and looked at Ivonna.

"He was. We should replace Ivonna with him."

They all chuckled and Ivonna bumped Francesca with her elbow. Francesca chuckled mischievously.

Trevor looked at Kingstar and the others. He scoffed.

"It's too bright in here, let's make it more interesting."

Trevor ran towards a shadow and disappeared. Everyone was surprised and then Trevor appeared at the other side of the area. He destroyed all the torches that were lighting the place. One by one the torches got destroyed by him. The seven of them were looking at Trevor. Lothair sighed.

"Oh f*ck, not this again..."

Gunther used a light spell to lighten his surrounding. Kingstar readied his stances.

"Circle and protect each other's back. We all know what he's capable of in the dark."

Kingstar looked around.

"Ivonna! If you hear me, tell your friends to light up the torches again as soon as possible!"

Kingstar took a deep breath and continues.

"All the players that have torches or have the skill to light up the area, use it now! If you don't, go and find the torches from this place and light it up!"

Some of the players immediately followed Kingstar's orders, and some of them were confused and looked around.

A scream came from the east side. They know what happened to them. Scream after scream came from the east side and all the way to the west side.

Ivonna and her friends were confused about what's happening. Ivonna tapped on Leonardo's shoulder.

"Use that spell to light up the place. Something is happening."

A flare came from the north side of the area and everyone was looking at it. Then it exploded and lighten the place. Everyone looked at each other and one of the players screamed and pointed at something far away from him.

"Look over there!"

Trevor was holding a scythe and stood in between the dead bodies of the players. They were looking at him in awe. The same player from back then screamed.

"He is Azrael the angel of death!"

Trevor lifted his scythe and looked at the player. Trevor pointed his scythe towards him. The lights from the flare are gone now. Before the lights disappeared, Trevor tilted his head and he ran towards him.

A mage player who is recording the whole thing is standing beside the guy. He's looking at the guy.

"Azrael the angel of death? That's a good name, dude!"

Trevor appears in front of them and his scythe is ready to slash the guy's head.

Splat!

The player is dead and the mage falls to the ground. The hooded guy is looking at him and tilts his head and lifts his scythe at him. The mage screams

"No, have mercy!"

Trevor swings his scythe.

"Death shows no mercy..."
