Legacy of the Betelgeuse

All the spectators looked at the status board screen and the prediction screen.

[Forsaken- (Alliance) (1.000.184)] [Supremacist (Aarus) (3.101.396)]

[Forsaken- (Alliance) (39%) vs. Supremacist (Aarus) (61%)]

Normally, nobody would root for the clan that has a 39% win chance. Nobody would regret predicting the strongest clan as the winner of this match, and nobody would question the probability of the Supremacist Clan winning the match with that prediction screen in front of them. But It's all happening right now inside their heads as they see a hooded guy wearing a mask and red scarf while holding a scythe on his right hand and hanging a chained sickle on his left hand walking towards the keep inside the fortress on the arena.

The infamous, the rumored player that has been around for almost a month. A player that killed a hundred of thousand players and all the top 10 players in one hour. Azrael, the Angel of Death.

Kingstar and all his members had no idea who they are going to go against with. They marched to the middle of the arena with confidence. Kingstar and Queenstar stood on top of the hills and watched Alec and Grim Rime leading 1.500.000 players in front of Kingstar and ready to receive an order from him. He looked at the distance and he saw Ivonna and a third of her forces ready to stop his members from entering her territory.

Kingstar learned from his last match against Ivonna, and he won't make the same mistake again, but deep down, he wanted to go all out since he has the advantage in all aspects. Kingstar then ordered Alec and Grim Rime to advance. They all marched toward Ivonna and 350.000 players behind her.

As soon as they got closer to her, they started to run and clash their weapons with Ivonna and her team. Hans with his team appeared at the top of the hills and immediately helped Ivonna. When things got worse for Forsaken- Clan, Grisell finally used her skill [Gold Coating] to Ivonna's team and Hans's team. Kingstar expected that and immediately ordered Alec and Grim Rime to fall back. Alec and Grim Rime with their teams retreated as Kingstar ordered while carrying the fallen members and will resurrect them when they are safe.

Kingstar smirked while staring at Ivonna who just wasted their only trump card. He wasn't hoping for Ivonna to chase them, but he already prepared 500.000 players each inside the forest on both sides that lead by Gunther, Reinhardt, and Aleksander. Kingstar prepared a third of his members inside the forest was because of Leonardo and Francesca. He made sure that nobody could walk past his territory without getting noticed. Kingstar didn't know that Francesca and Emma already knew about those players inside the forest and already on their way to ambush one of them with 300.000 players.

Kingstar looked at the screen in front of him and he smirked and looked at Queenstar. She nodded and turned around, 200.000 players hiding behind the hill and the spellcasters opened portals and Queenstar entered the portal with 200.000 players to ambush Francesca and her team. Ivonna got informed that Francesca is surrounded by Queenstar's team and Reinhardt's team. Francesca and Emma struggled to survive the ambush by Queenstar and there was no possibility for both of them to leave that place alive.

Ivonna held her lance and shield so tightly and frustrated when she heard the news. All the spectators went quiet when they looked at the Forsaken- clan forces decreasing rapidly on the screen. Queenstar and her team just defeated Francesca and Emma's teams. Queenstar looked at both of their dead bodies and scoffed then she and 700.000 players behind her marched to enter Forsaken- Clan territory from the forest.

Michael, Hans, Ivonna retreated to the front of the fortress. Kingstar ordered Alec, Grim Rime, Gunther, and Aleksander to advance and enter the enemy's territory. Kingstar with the rest of his members followed them from behind. Everyone thought this would be the end for Forsaken- Clan. It's the most anti-climatic match they have ever seen, but they were all waiting for a specific player to show themselves.

Trevor sat inside the keep in front of the crystal with Grisell sat beside him. They both looked at the clan chat screen in front of them. They both read the information about what happened on the battlefield. Grisell looked at the screen with worries. Trevor stood up and walked to the entrance of the fortress through the vast yard inside the fortress. Ivonna and the others looked at him, and then Ivonna approached him.

Ivonna looked at Trevor.

"We are going to prevent them from entering the fortress. Hans and Leonardo with their teams are going to hold them off from the towers and on top of the walls."

Trevor looked at the distance.

"What about you and Michael?"

Ivonna turned around and looked at the enemy's forces.

"Mike will be defending the entrance from the inside. He will and his team will be in that yard and he will be our last defense."

Trevor nodded and hummed with understanding. He then looked at Ivonna.

"What about you?"

Ivonna lifted her shield and looked at Trevor with a serious face.

"I will try to hold them off and hope we can reduce their forces before they entered the fortress."

Trevor looked at Ivonna while raising his eyebrow.

"Then what? After you managed to reduce their forces and sacrificed yourself and your team, they could resurrect them all back to life. Your plan is not helping at all and just wasting our resources. Retreat when you think you can no longer hold them off, and get inside the fortress. Don't even think about using your ultimate skills there. Save it for later. Make sure to not lose so many players during that time. Michael should do the same. Let's pretend that you and Michael are desperate then lure them inside the fortress since we have the advantage here. It's easier to hold them off when we are inside the keep. Hans and Leonardo should destroy the stairs on the wall that lead them to the top of the wall, including the stairs inside the towers. So the only way for them to take care of Hans and Leonardo is by making a way up there or enter the keep."

Ivonna nodded with understanding, and then she walked back outside the fortress to inform everyone about the plan. Trevor then walked back and stood in the yard waiting for Michael and the others to come.

Michael, Hans, and Leonardo with their teams of a total of 600.000 players walked inside the fortress and prepared themselves for the plan. All the spectators were confused when they saw them destroying the stairs around the fortress using magic spells. Trevor watched them destroying the stairs while Michael standing beside him. After they were all done destroying the stairs from the walls and inside the towers, they all approached Trevor.

Michael, Hans, and Leonard stood in front of Trevor with 600.000 players behind them while staring at him.

Trevor looked at Michael.

"I believe you already heard about the plan. So you don't have to hear about it twice. I just want to say that as soon as you think the enemy is already outnumbered your team, hurriedly retreat and get inside the keep. We need to preserve our resources as much as we can from now on."

Michael nodded and looked at his team. They all nodded with understanding. Then Trevor looked at Hans and Leonardo.

"For you both, as soon as the enemy made their way up to the wall, hurriedly retreat to the keep. We already lost Francesca and Emma. As I said in the roundtable earlier, it will be hard for us to turn the tide in this match if we lose her team, but I didn't say it will be impossible. Hans, you will be the one steering the clan, and Leonardo will be the eyes. If either one of you died up there, we are done. So please be careful and don't even think about take any initiative to engage the enemy. We are going to be defensive for the meantime."

They both nodded and immediately walked inside the keep and started to walk on top of the walls and towers.

Trevor put his hand on Michael's shoulder.

"Be careful and good luck."

Michael nodded and then Trevor went inside the keep to guard the crystal while Michael and his team readied themselves in the position.

Ivonna already in a battle against Alec and Grim Rime. Thanks to the [Gold Coating] skill still on them, the battle went well for her and her team. Ivonna slowly got pushed back and when she couldn't handle them anymore, Ivonna and her team retreated to the fortress. They ran past Michael's team and went inside the keep.

Kingstar then ordered Alec and Grim Rime to enter the fortress to chase Ivonna, but as soon as they entered the fortress, Michael stood in the yard waiting for them. Alec and Grim Rime charged at him with all their teams. Hans and Leonardo showed themselves on top of the walls and towers, then showered them with arrows and spells. Because of how narrow and small the fortress entrance is, it made Alec and Grim Rime a bit troubled, but in the end, they managed to enter the fortress. Hans and Leonardo kept attacking them and it annoyed Alec and Grim Rime, so they looked around and entered the tower to find a way up to the wall, but they didn't find any stairs.

Kingstar stood at the back with Queenstar. He laughed and shook his head.

"I should've known this match will be easy. I thought she has another trick on her sleeve but turns out she chickened out and hide in her fortress."

Queenstar nodded and chuckled.

"There's no way for her to be able to win this match no matter how hard she tried. She can do nothing but wasting our time. Let's end this now."

Kingstar ordered Gunther, Aleksander, and Reinhardt to make a way up to the wall. They entered the fortress and saw so many remains of the stairs around the fortress. Then they grabbed them and stacked them up, but Hans and Leonardo prevented them from doing that and kept showering them with arrows and spells.

So many casualties from Kingstar's forces because of that, but they managed to push Michael's team back and they retreated to the keep. Hans and Leonardo's teams were still showering them non-stop. When Reinhardt managed to climb up the wall with his team, Hans and Leonardo's teams retreated to the keep immediately.

Hans and Leonardo entered the keep and walked down to where everyone is at. They gathered there and Ivonna ordered Hans and Leonardo to protect the first crystal, while Michael and Ivonna are going to protect the second crystal. When they looked at Trevor, he walked towards the gate. Ivonna and the rest of them are confused.

Trevor turned around and tilted his head.

"I will take care of them when they entered the keep. Just make sure to keep an eye on the surroundings and get some rest."

Everyone looked at him while furrowing their foreheads. Trevor swung his scythe and rest it on his shoulder.

"Because as soon as I have enough stacks, we will turn the tide..."
