Chapter 287 - Episode 287: Worse Than I Thought.
Emma and Chelsea are running toward me, they both are readying their weapon while staring. They both stand beside me while staring at Kalitzar that has become Alucard, Kalitzar stops scratching his back and starts to chuckle mischievously. The sound of his bones breaking is a pain in our ears, he keeps chuckling but behind those chuckles, we all can hear he's groaning in pain as if there are two different people in that body. A black bone wing comes out from his back and followed by blood splattering on the ground, his laughter, and screams of agony are enough to apply fear toward all the players, Emma is gulping and looking at me with concern.
"What is that thing? Is that Kalitzar's true form or something like that?"
I shake my head.
"No, that thing is something that I don't even know can exist in the game. I mean, I know about that thing, but I never met that thing before."
Chelsea is looking at me while furrowing her forehead.
"What do you mean? So you're telling us that this thing shouldn't exist in the first place?"
I nod while sighing.
"Yeah, something like that."
Emma looks at me and points her finger at Kalitzar.
"Are we going to let him be like that? Or are we going to attack him?"
I look at her and shake my head.
"Honestly, letting him be is the better option we have. Have you noticed the moment I wounded him, he regenerate and it's not a normal regeneration but also I was helping him to become something like this? I think it's better to wait until he's done with what's he doing right now. I honestly don't know how to deal with this since this is my first time as well."
Krestan is helping the frontline with Azrael and everyone feels relieved that he's helping them and he's able to hold more than 20% of the total subjects on his own. Emma looks at me and asks for my permission if she can try to attack Kalitzar, I just nod with understanding. Emma immediately runs toward him and swings her whip sword but the wing blocks her attack and the wing expands on its own and hits her. She takes a lot of damage that she lost a big chunk of her HP, she immediately runs back and she thought that she will get attacked by him again but she realizes that Kalitzar isn't and just keep groaning in pain.
I look around and I see Ivonna is staring at me, not just her but Kingstar and the other Ophiuchus are also staring at me. I need all of them to help me here because even with the stat I have and Krestan is on my side, we both won't be able to handle him on our own. I write a message in the Ophiuchus group chat and tell them that I need their help to deal with Alucard. All of them notice the notification on their screens, they all look at me and nod, they all run toward me, and as I expected that Kalitzar ignores all of them.
Ivonna and the others are standing around me, they're asking the same question to me. Everyone understands the situation now and they're all just preparing themselves while waiting for Kalitzar to finish evolving into Alucard. Liu is looking at Kalitzar while crossing his arms.

"So, this Alucard guy, who is he? I honestly never heard of that name in this game before."
Everyone looks at me because they all know that I know the answer. I look at them and raise my eyebrow while stretching my body.
"Well, Alucard is one of the myths in Orion, his existence is even older than the Heroes of Orion, far way older than the Dark Age or the Age of Heroes. As you all know, there are godly items in this game, and Alucard possessed one of them, or to be exact, he's the original owner of one of the godly items. All I know, these creatures who possessed the godly items can be called gods or goddesses, I suppose. If you're asking me where they're right now, I honestly have no idea but I know that all of them are dead and they don't exist anymore, also now we know that they can appear out of nowhere if someone met the requirement to resummon them."
Kingstar is crossing his arms while furrowing his forehead.
"So basically, if we kill him, there's a chance that we might be able to get the godly item from him?"
Everyone is curious about it as well and I look at Kingstar while tilting my head.
"Well, I don't know. Why do you think I know about that?"
Everyone is looking at me while shrugging, I scoff and look at Kalitzar but Ivonna looks worried about something else. Kalitzar suddenly stops groaning and starts chuckling, and his voice is totally changed now, it's deeper than before. We are all readying our weapons and stances, Kalitzar flies while covering his face with his gigantic hands and fingers. Kalitzar screams and a black-purple beam comes out from his mouth, the sky turns dark and cloudy as if it's going to have a rainstorm.
We are shocked and to be honest, his stat is already beyond my imagination and it keeps growing bigger and bigger.

"This is bad..."
Everyone is looking at me with confusion, I look at Leo and point at Kalitzar or Alucard.
"Can you try to shoot a spell at him?"
Leo looks at me and immediately points his staff at Kalitzar, he releases a high level [Fireball] at him. As soon as the fireball hits Kalitzar it disperses, Leo is surprised and looks at me with confusion.
"What was that? I have never seen anything like that before."
I raise my eyebrows and sigh.
"As I expected, he's immune to magic. We can only hurt him by using physical damage, and knowing how strong he is, I bet none of us will be able to do any damage to him even if we bombard him with physical damage."
Ivonna looks at me.
"But there must be a weakness, right? There's no way we are facing this thing if we can't kill it. If this thing is too strong for us and it has no weakness, then we are done and this is literally game over."
I nod in agreement.
"Yeah, there should be at least one weakness that he has. I guess we have to find out his weakness ourselves, and this is going to be an impossible task if I can be honest with you all."
Kingstar scoffs and crosses his arms.
"Well, we have seen a lot of things, we have encountered a f*cking alien that thousand times bigger than us. We managed to survive that and as long as we are in this together, nothing is impossible."
Everyone chuckles and snorts, Diamond laughs so hard while tapping Kingstar's shoulder.
"That's so cheesy, Kingstar! But, you're right. We always do our best and I just want to remind you guys if we fail, then nobody will be able to stop this guy. The moment we decide to create the Ophiuchus, we carried a massive responsibility of the players and the future of the game."
Francesca is clearing her throat.
"Alright guys, while you're busy making a speech, this dude is doing something and I don't like it."
We all look at Kalitzar and he starts to spread his wing widely, all the subjects stop attacking and all of them are looking up at him. All of them are staring at Kalitzar like they're in awe of his presence, but then all of them are starting to grunt and growl like a zombie. One of the players decides to use the opportunity to attack them, but then his head falls off in an instant because the subject cuts off his head with his hand. Everyone is surprised because for some reason the subject suddenly becomes stronger.
I look at the stat of the subjects and I keep blinking my eyes with disbelief because the stats are growing rapidly. I notice something is different in the subject's status and it's said [Hypnotized], I think Kalitzar uses his [Hypnosis] skill that belongs to Alucard. This is problematic because there's no way these players will be able to handle the subjects without us, Krestan and Azrael won't be able to hold them all on their own.
I can feel a presence around me but then something appears from the shadow, Kingstar and the others are surprised, they're all unconsciously jumping back and readying their weapon. I look back and I see Avriel with her black eyes and glowing red pupil staring at me. I look at her stat and she managed to overcome the process of growth but something is wrong with her, and when I look at her status, it's written [Hypnotized].
"F*ck...."
