Legacy of the Betelgeuse

All the soldiers are looking at each other, and then one of them is dropping his weapon and shield. They're all looking at him and then they're following him and dropping their weapons and shields. They're slowly backing away and turn, but then one of the soldiers is getting stabbed in the stomach and all the soldiers are shocked. The guy who stabbed the soldier is kicking the guy to the ground and letting him bleed to his death.

I'm squinting my eyes and then Krestan approaches me.

"He's bad news."

I'm nodding with understanding.

"Yeah, I can see that. Not just him, but the others behind him are something else."

Krestan nods in agreement.

"They're the subjects, right? What should we do?"

I tilt my head and raise my eyebrow.

"Of course, I will save those people. Back me up and you can have some fun with the subjects."

Krestan is stretching his arms and cracks his neck.

"I barely have time to rest, but I do have business with them. Let's go."

I nod and we run toward them. I look at the soldiers and raise my scythe.

"Leave!"

I leap and swing my scythe at the guy and he blocks my scythe with his sword. His sword is cracking and he immediately uses his shield to block my scythe while the soldiers are running for their lives. Krestan uses his spell and pushes all the soldiers away from the roads so he won't kill them with his spells later.

Half of the soldiers are running for their lives and some of them are not so lucky and get killed by the subjects. The players are looking at them with confusion and they raise their weapons to protect the soldiers but they don't know who they're dealing with, and so they're also getting targeted by the subjects and killing the players who are in their way, but still, there are so many players who are trying to stop me and do dumb things to get in my way.

Krestan is flying and firing his spells at the subjects, but it's not enough and they can heal themselves back to full health. It's not a problem at all for Krestan since he's just getting started and having his sweet time to test what they're capable of.

I look at the stat of the guy in front of me and one thing that really bothers me is that he has a passive skill called [Physical Resistance (Lv.3)] and [Hardskin (Lv.2)], those two are enough to reduce my damage up to 40% to 60%. It will take quite so time to kill him if I use physical damage to him, and on the other hand, I don't want to show the players that I can use magic and spell since I want to keep that as my second identity. So, the only thing I can do is just to beat him up until he's dead.

I pull my scythe away from him and I have to go on all-out against them.

[Bloodbath is activated]

[Afterimages is activated]

[Shadow of Death's Wrath is activated]

I swing my chained sickles at him over and over until the pieces of his armor are shattering and flying away. He's tough and I don't think anyone can kill him even if they tried. I wish the level cap is getting an update soon so I can raise my level because this is starting to be a pain in the ass for me, but on the good side, they should be the strongest subject that Emperor Lerst has, and as long as I kill them all here, there will be no chaos and my job will be done here.

(The sun is rising)

It's raining heavily and the two of us are surrounded by the subjects and players. I don't know how many of them left, but I managed to kill a lot of them but they're a lot more than we thought. I barely have time to catch my breath while Krestan is getting bombarded by spells and he's getting exhausted as well. I don't think we can do anything at this point and the restriction is preventing me from leaving the capital city.

I look at Krestan up in the sky while my face is getting hit by heavy rains while dodging their attacks and Azrael is protecting my back.

"Krestan!"

Krestan is blocking all the arrows and spells that are fired at him. He looks down and raises his eyebrows.

"What?!"

I stab one of them and throw them away from me. I look at Krestan.

"I guess you have to use it."

Krestan is striking the subjects with the rain and turning them into ice spikes.

"Use what?"

I'm breaking my enemy's armor and stabbing him in the heart with my scythe.

"Your damn ultimate spells! Use one of them now, I don't think I can handle them any longer!"

Krestan dives down to the ground and creates an epicenter to make everyone loses their footing and he cast earth spikes to stab them from the ground, then he turns his head and looks at me.

"Which one? Are you sure?"

I swing my chained sickles downward and stab one of them in the head. I slip and fall on my back because my legs start to feel weak.

"You're asking too much! Just f*cking do it!"

Krestan looks around for one last time and then he nods.

"Alright, protect me."

I stand up and nod.

"You bet I will."

Krestan flies high to the sky and he lifts his staff as high as possible.

"Sky of Veins!"

The rains immediately stop and the sky starts rumbling very loudly, flashes of lightning are appearing and making deafening crackling sounds that are enough to scare all the players and take the subjects' attention. The flashes of lightning are combining and spreading throughout the sky and it looks exactly like a vein.

One of the subjects is pointing his finger at Krestan.

"Stop him and bring him down!"

As soon as they lift their staffs and bows, I command Azrael to take them down before they do it first, I take a leap and swing my chained sickles at them and destroying and disarming their weapons. I smirk at them and scoff.

"Not on my watch!"

I look at Azrael.

"Az, go and protect Krestan!"

Azrael nods and flies toward Krestan and he's circling around him and creating a barrier made from ice. Krestan smirks and keeps chanting his spells.

"Clouds of Flame!"

The dark sky is slowly turning red and flames come out from his staff and cover the sky with fire. The flashes of lighting are getting fiercer and fiercer the deafening crackling sounds start to hurt everyone's ears. I can't plug my ears since I'm too busy beating down the subjects while giving Krestan time to finish his chanting.

Krestan looks down and looks at the spellbook in his left hand.

"Forming Soils!"

The soils start appearing and finding their way in between the concrete roads from the ground. The soils are rising and going up to the sky in between the flashes of lighting and the flames. The subjects and the players start firing their arrows and spells at him, but Azrael is pushing them all back to the ground by blowing a very strong blizzard down to the ground. Nothing can go against a strong cold wind.

The players are starting to attack me with the subjects, while I keep dodging them and ignoring them and just focus on stopping the spellcasters and the archers from interrupting Krestan. I keep myself focus on one task and I will do it with everything I have because this ultimate spell will take a long process.

I don't know for how long I have been eliminating the threats from different sides of the city. They're using ballistae, arrows, spears, and spells to stop Krestan. I look up and I see Azrael's stamina and he's starting to get exhausted. Krestan is no longer taking the soils from the ground and he looks up and chuckles mischievously.

"Hardened!"

A shockwave is happening up in the sky and a booming sound can be heard up there as well, but we all can't see what's happening up there. All the players are screaming and telling the other players to shoot him down. I look up and smile because things are about to get nasty from here, then I run away and go up to the highest building by gliding from building to building.

Krestan is still lifting his staff and he looks down at the center of the capital city, then he's pushing his staff down and pointing at the ground. Something comes out from the clouds of flames, a big cone-shaped burning red rock that is surrounded by sparks of lighting is coming down so slowly. Everyone is looking at it and thinks it's not really threatening, but then Krestan is pointing his spellbook at that rock.

"Maximum Resize!"

As soon as he cast that spell, the rock's size changed to 10 times bigger than its original size, everyone's eyes and mouths are wide open, and look at how massive that thing is. To compare how big the rock is, it's almost as big as Shazjae's right arm. Everyone can't think about anything, they don't bother to stop Krestan anymore, and they're all start running away from the city.

I look at Azrael and he immediately comes down and I mount him then approach Krestan. Krestan's hands are shaking as if he's carrying the rock with his hands. He looks down with his face shaking while smiling so widely, then he screams his lungs out.

"Armageddon, Nail of Extinction!"
