Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 314 - Episode 314: Shackled.



*Gulp*

[Warning! Your body detected a dangerous threat!]

[Your body cannot rid the threat, you will lose control over your body!]

[You have lost your vision]

...

...

...

[Contained Purification Energy has been used]

[All status ailments have been removed from your body]

[You have regained your body!]

I open my eyes and my body feels like I have been crushed by boulder dozens of times. I try to grab my head but then I hear clanking sounds from my right, I try to lift my head to look at my hand. I realize that my right hand is chained to a wall, I look to the left and my left hand is also chained to the wall. I look down and I'm on my knees with both of my legs chained to the ground, I don't remember anything as soon as I consumed [Alucard's Heart].

"Trev?"

I lift my head and look at Ivonna with broken armor on her body, I furrow my forehead and squint my eyes.

"What happened?"

Ivonna is hesitant to approach me as if she's scared of me, she looks at the chains and makes sure that all of them are still attached to the walls and ground.

"You don't remember anything?"

I slowly shake my head.

"I don't remember anything as soon as I consumed the heart, what happened? And why am I being shackled?"

Ivonna is about to open her mouth but then Kingstar pushes Ivonna away with the same condition.

"What happened? You f*cking destroy the whole building! You killed us over and over for hours! Don't you see where you at right now?"

I look around and then I realize that the sun is blinding me, and when I'm getting used to the brightness, I can see that I'm inside a broken building, or more like a tower to be exact. I see all the priests, priestesses, and all the higher ranks are staring at me from above the ground. It seems that I'm in some kind of an underground building, I remember this place and then I realize that this is where we killed Alucard, but why has it becomes an open space like this?

I look at Ivonna and Kingstar then I look at dozens of players are standing and sitting on the wall. I see everyone back there staring at me with blood and broken armor on their body, not just all the Ophiuchus but Francesca and the others, also all the Ophiuchus' commanders are here as well. I look at Kingstar and Ivonna while gulping since my throat is dry.

"I did all these?"

Kingstar snickers while shaking his head.

"No sh*t! You put everyone in the Holy Temple in danger you moron! Do you know how hard it was for us to put you down? I can't believe you have done this, Trev..."

Ivonna starts to explain everything to me, turns out, as soon as I consumed [Alucard's Heart], I went on rampage and Ivonna tried to take me back to my sense but it didn't work since I immediately attacked her. Ivonna was on her own while Saintess Aria left the room when she ordered her to, Ivonna had to ask Francesa and the others to come to the Holy Temple.

Ivonna's plan was to keep me inside this room as long as they can, when Francesca and the others were here, they kept me busy while Ivonna left for the Temple of Gloom thanks to Leo's portal. She knew that she alone and the others won't be able to keep me from leaving the room so she wanted to ask Kingstar and the others to help to keep me occupied.

In the end, she did bring all of them back here on time and Kingstar immediately ordered the others to bring their commanders with them since they knew that they will be dealing with me. That's why everyone is here right now, and when everyone is here, they fought for hours while I kept rampaging with my bare hands. It's fortunate that I didn't have my weapons in my hands or the outcome will be worse than this but I still can't believe that I did destroy the building with my bare hands but that's the truth based on their story.

All of them are walking toward me and surrounding me with their arms crossed. Emma is crouching and gently tapping my shoulder she smiles and points at my body, I look down and my whole body is covered with scars and blood. At first, I'm not confused at all but then I realize how can I get all of these scars if my dodge rate is 100%? Emma tilts her head while raising her eyebrows.

"You realized now, Trev? You're not invincible anymore."

I furrow my forehead with disbelief.

"Open status..."

Sealed? What's that mean? Is my stat is locked because of this [Sealed] status? I look at this [Sealed] status and read the description.

[Sealed: The player is sealed by the highest power, the player will lose all the status points and level. The player will not be able to use any skill, item, or equipment. The player will not be able to remove the seal until the appointed time. The duration is 364 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds (The duration will stop counting down when the player log out from the game)]

I chuckle and everyone is looking at me with confusion, Diamond looks at Lothair and the others while raising his eyebrows.

"Is he going nuts? Should we be worried?"

I look at them and keep chuckling.

"This is unbelievable..."

Everyone looks at me and still so confused about what's going on, I share my status screen with all of them. All of them are staring at the status screen with their eyes and mouths wide open. Lothair is looking at everyone while tilting his head.

"So that's why we were able to deal with him."

Ivonna looks at me while massaging her forearm.

"So that light orb that came down earlier was to weaken him? I think that light orb put that sealed status on him."

Everyone nods in agreement, and I'm not sure what's that light orb they're talking about but then Ivonna tells me that the [Contained Purification Energy] was the light orb that they mentioned. Ivonna managed to grab that and used it on me.

I nod with understanding then sigh while wiggling my arms while staring at Ivonna and smiling at her.

"Can you remove the shackles, Ivy? It's getting hurt. Don't worry, I won't be able to do anything with my current condition."

Ivonna nods and then runs to the door, Saintess Aria comes in with the keys in her hands. She looks at me with a worried expression, and I just smile at her because I feel guilty for destroying the place.

Saintess Aria and Ivonna are removing the shackles from my arms and legs, but when I try to stand up I fall to the ground immediately because I can't move a single muscle in my body. Ivonna helps me get up and she carries me all the way out the building with the others are following us from behind.

All of the priests and priestesses are staring at me with fear but after seeing Saintess Aria is walking behind me, they all immediately bow their heads to us. Saintess Aria walks past us and she looks at Ivonna.

"We have prepared a room for Master Trevor so he can get some rest."

Something is happening to my screen and it's the same as back then, everything goes red and a warning appears in front of my screen.

[WARNING!]

[YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS TOO LOW!]

[YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO LOW!]

[YOU WILL BE FORCED TO LOG OUT BY THE SYSTEM!]

[SEEK FOR IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!]

...

...

...

[WE HAVE REQUESTED AN EMERGENCY SERVICE NEAR YOUR AREA]

[ESTIMATED TIME ARRIVAL: 5 MINUTES]

Before I'm getting forced to log out I look at Emma.

"Em, it's happening again, please carry me to the hospital as soon as possi..."

I'm forced to log out from the game before I can even finish my sentence.

I open my eyes and my head is spinning like crazy, I can't even reach my hand to the side of the pod. I can't see anything because everything is spinning. I can feel someone is reaching my hand and when that person pulls me too fast, I groan in pain.

"Don't pull me too fast! I can't..."

The light is making my headache worse and I lost my vision then fall to the ground unconscious.

"Trevor!"
