Legacy of the Betelgeuse

12 days in-game time have passed. I farmed Betelgeuse\'s Coin as much as I could and I collected 7.259 Betelgeuse\'s Coin. This time I farmed them in low level maps since I need to kill the monster fast. I wasted almost 5.000 Betelgeuse\'s Coin just for these buff items, and because of that, I\'m running out of time. Then I logged out for today since I got a warning from the pod because my health is being monitored since that day.

I\'m not really running out of time, but I do want to have extra Betelgeuse\'s Coin for the costume box. I heard it will hide the player\'s equipment and it\'s going to be very useful for me. So far, there were only 6 costumes boxes that have been sold in the market even though it\'s quite easy to collect 3.000 Betelgeuse\'s Coin, people would rather spend their Betelgeuse\'s Coin on something else that is more useful for them since the costume box only give a piece of costume and if they want to have a full set of the same costume, they need at least 6 to 8 costume boxes depends on which costume they want. In the end, they would prefer buying them in the market either using real money or gold.

I check the forum and the cheapest one that got sold was $250 or 250 Gold. Even if there are a lot of players who have so many costume boxes, they won\'t sell them right away and they will wait until the event ends and then sell them at a high price. So basically I need to farm an extra 24.000 Betelgeuse\'s Coin for a whole set of costumes. In total, I need 47.000 Betelgeuse\'s Coin to get the last 3 [Betelgeuse\'s Legacy Shard] and 8 costume boxes. I need at least farm 7.000 Betelgeuse\'s Coin every day for the next 7 days.

It\'s 10 P.M. and I haven\'t eaten dinner or even lunch. I bought fast food and ate it immediately, then I went to bed.

(2 days later.)

Today is the final match for the Alliance Kingdoms bracket because there are not many clans in the Alliance Kingdoms\' faction since the player population is the lowest compared to the Empires\' factions. I watched every single Forsaken- Clan matches for the past two days. They won the matches easily. They managed to gain thousands of players to join their clan, almost every single one of them is willing to join them and their levels are above 190. Forsaken-Clan is now has a total of 410.000 members. What surprised me the most is one of the reasons people are joining Forsaken- is because of Emma. I just know about it yesterday that Emma has become famous because of her way of using her whip sword in the skirmish event. She already got a title for herself, The Sadistic Beauty. Of course, Emma hates that title so much that she rants about it all day yesterday.

I\'m sitting at the edge of the cliff and looking down at Ivonna and the others are having a briefing with their members for one last time before the match begins. I can see Emma is looking at the cliffs slowly and thoroughly, and when she sees me, she\'s waving her hand at me while grinning. I scoff and shake my head while covering my face.

Their opponent is Valkyrie\'s Wings. Rank 2 in the Alliance Kingdoms\' faction clan leaderboard with a total of 280.000 members with the clan leader name is Sigryd and ironically it\'s exactly the same name as the Land of Sigrid but with a Y, not an I. His level is 211 and the level average of his clan is 186. Compared to Forsaken- Clan, they\'re no match for them. Not to mention the average level of players from Forsaken- Clan is 193.

They all walking to the battlefield and go to their position. Ivonna is at the front since she\'s the tanker with hundreds of thousands of players. Michael and Hans are on the middle left side with hundreds of thousands of players as well while Francesca and Emma on the middle right side with only a thousand players with them. Leonardo and Grisell are at the back guarding the crystal with the rest of the players. Everyone is eating and drinking the buffs\' items and readying their stances.

Valkyrie\'s Wings Clan is also in their positions. They are using a different formation. They put 3 teams in the middle, left, and right with a total of 60.000 to 70.000 players. Then 1 team behind them in the middle with 100.000 players. The last one is on the backline, and they all are mages and range weapons users while Sigryd with his spear standing in front of the crystal.

Watching big clans in this skirmish event is like watching a medieval war movie. I can\'t wait when the BZM event to be released and I can\'t imagine how chaotic it will be with millions or even billions of players battling for the throne. Then a soothing voice comes from the sky.

"The final match will begin in, 3... 2... 1... May the Betelgeuse bless you!"

Ivonna without hesitation charged at the enemy territory and then her squad charged and ran behind Ivonna. The enemy team charged at her but then Ivonna hit her shield with her lance. Her whole body was glowing, it increased her status resistance by 30%. It made the enemy feel threatened and intimidated. She immediately got bombarded by the enemy\'s skills, but she was tanking it without a problem. Since their skills are on a cooldown, Ivonna her squad bombarded them with their skills and it broke the enemy\'s formation. Michael and Hans then charged the enemy with thousands of players behind them.

Ivonna\'s squad alone was enough to destroy the enemy\'s frontline. But since Michael and his squad arrived at the battlefield, it made their win is guaranteed. Sigryd ordered the range players and bombarded them with spells and arrows. Ivonna lifted her shield and a huge barrier with 20 meters radius appeared above her. All the projectiles\' attacks changed their course towards the barrier. It\'s a skill specifically to redirects all the projectiles\' attacks towards the barrier and reduced its damage up to 50%.

Sigryd knew she would do that and so he ordered the second line team to charge at her. But something unexpected happens on the left side of his. Francesca and Emma with their team charged at the backline that is vulnerable from getting ambushed since there are no tanks or any melee around them, and the second line team already went too far at the frontline to stop Ivonna from covering all the projectiles\' attacks. Francesca ran towards Sigryd on her own. Her objective is to take care of him and nothing else.

Emma and her team charged at the enemy\'s backline. Emma whipped her whip sword and hundreds of rose petals appeared and floated around her. It\'s actually not a rose petal, but a very thin piece of sharp metal with the shape and color of a rose petal. The skill transformed the pieces of the blades on the sword and made them uncontrollable and attacked and deflected everything around her. The downside of that skill is that Emma can\'t do anything other than whipping the string on her sword to keep the skill active. But she was basically invulnerable and since she\'s good at playing with the whip, she whipped the string and wrapped one of the players, and then slammed them to the ground.

Francesca kept Sigryd busy with her. She didn\'t care about what or who\'s behind her and she entrusted that matter to Emma. She kept attacking Sigryd with her rapier. Even though Sigryd is using a spear, he couldn\'t make the distance between him and Francesca. The reason why he couldn\'t do it is that Francesca\'s passive skill made her MS and ASPD increased by 50%. Not just that, Francesca activated her skill that made her MS and ASPD multiplied by 2 times and every attack of her is guaranteed a critical hit. This skill only lasted for 15 seconds, and in that kind of situation, it was quite long.

Ivonna and Michael\'s teams destroyed the enemy\'s frontline and second line. They charged at the backline where Emma broke and destroyed the formation with her team. In the end, Francesca defeated Sigryd without a single hit taken. Sigryd forfeit and Forsaken- Clan took everything and lost nothing.

The spectators were watching them in awe and mesmerized about how flawless their strategy was. This wasn\'t any normal match, this was a match between big and top 2 clans from the Alliance Kingdoms, but Forsaken- Clan managed to dominate the final match as if the Valkyrie\'s Wings Clan was no match for them. Even though the force of both teams was not balanced, but Forsaken- Clan didn\'t lose a single player in that match. Then all of them gave Forsaken- Clan a standing ovation and whistled at them. Then they were all screaming Emma\'s IGN. Emma immediately hid her face and teleported from the arena.

That was fun to watch. I stand up and stretch my body then leave to Forsaken- Clan base. As soon as I enter the clan base, Emma is charging at me and jumps on my back. She\'s grinning and giggling happily.

"We won!"

I scoff and shake my head while smirking.

"I have to admit, you were badass back there and congratulation on your victory. I wonder what kind of prize for getting first place in the faction\'s bracket."

Emma gets down from my back and nods.

"I know! I wonder what the prize will be."

I look around and nobody is back from the arena yet. I believe they\'re still handshaking with Sigryd and his clan members. We both then go to the roundtable room while waiting for them to come back.

Ivonna and Francesca appear inside the room, and then the rest of them appear as well. Francesca is surprised to see me in the room. She then walks towards me with her arms wide open. I tilt my head and furrows my forehead. Ivonna is smiling at Francesca and shakes her head. Francesca keeps opening her arms and standing in front of me.

"Come on. Give me a hug. I did well back there and I know you saw it."

I sigh and hug her. Francesca is staring at Ivonna while showing her tongue mockingly then she bit her tongue cutely. Ivonna shakes her head while covering her face, then Francesca removes her arms from me. Michael and the others are cheering happily while Grisell is cheering as well without showing any expressions and with a flat tone since she\'s basically didn\'t do anything and just stood beside the crystal doing nothing at all.

I look at Ivonna.

"So you guys are free for the next 2 days, right?"

Ivona nods in an agreement.

"Yeah, we are waiting for the other factions to reach the final and then fight with the winners on Sunday to decide which faction will win first place."

I\'m humming with understanding.

"Well then, do you guys want to level up while farming Betelgeuse\'s Coin at the Zerkhil\'s Valley?"

Ivonna is raising her eyebrows and smiles excitedly.

"Yes, that\'s a really good idea."

Leonardo is oohing.

"Is that the place that you told us about? Let\'s go then! We all are curious about it!"

Everyone is nodding with an agreement. Ivonna nods. I smile and look at them.

"Let\'s go then. Let\'s not waste time!"

They all nod and we leave to the Loslan Village.
