章節 24: Chapter 24
This is it. We arrive at the End Portal. After a grueling journey here, we finally arrive at the End Fortress. It will take us three months before we arrive here, a month more than I predicted. The reason? Monsters.
Those fuckers come to us like a sea of zombies from the movie. It is especially tough when we are crossing the sea. The Drowned fill the entire ocean, and it takes time if we do not manage to reach the checkpoint to build a massive tower for us to hide.
However, what made matters worse, they did not die when the sun came out. Because of the water, they did not die. The Drowned who hold a trident is easier because they do not attack us as long as we are not touching the water. However, the one who did not hold a trident made it harder for us to march.
They try to drag us to the water, and once we touch that damn water, the one holding the trident will attack us. We almost died battling all the drowned on our first day fighting them. The following day, I built a wall around us while the others protected me from the Drowned, who tried to grab me into the ocean.
It takes us two weeks to leave the first ocean and reach the land. The land might be easier to cross, but that does not mean it is easy. We are crossing a jungle biome. I already created a path for us, but because of how thick the jungle is, monsters can survive there.
Lucky for us, it is not as challenging as crossing the ocean because we have a lot of ground to stand on, and we do not need to worry about getting dragged into the sea by a sneaky zombie.
It takes a long time and effort for us to reach this place. After a day of resting, we are ready to enter the portal.
I look at my companion and say.
"Are you guys ready?"
I can see them nodding their head, and I take a deep breath before jumping into the portal.

|3rd POV|
Too long. That is what is inside her mind. It has been too long for her to be in this place. It has been thousands of years since she was first forced to enter this place. The people that forced her to come into this place are already gone. They are gone to try to face their foolishness of creating creatures in their hubris of goal for immortality.
She knows that they are dead because she can feel her mind returning. However, the place they put her into starts to break her mind, and slowly, she loses herself. She can only watch longing at her young.
He has yet to hatch, and she is glad for it. The shell shall protect him from the corruptive energy around this world. However, she knows that her young will not last long because the corruptive energy will seep into the shell, and her only hatchling will be gone.
Her only hope is someone manages to find this place and help her young. However, they need to kill her because of the magic that forces her to attack anyone who manages to get close to this cursed place.
She blinks for a second when she feels something change in the air and looks at the floating island in the endless darkness. On top of the island, which is made of obsidian, is a group of people.
Kill me. That is what she wants to say to the new group of people. However, she cannot do that because of the magic that cages her in this place. She can only roar and fly around the pillar that holds her chain. The same pillars that kept her alive all these years in this corrupted world.
As she flies around, she blinks for a second when she sees the people do not approach her and instead create a building and a bridge between the two lands.
She waits for a few minutes before she finally sees them walking through the bridge, but this time, they are wearing helmets made of pumpkin. She ignores it and roars at them as she can feel the compulsion to attack visitors, which gets stronger and overwhelms her thinking.
She can hear the youngest of them shout.
"Spread out and drink the potions! Don't let the dragon hit you!"
She can see them spreading out, navigating through the remnant of her jailer, who is blissfully unaware of the invader for some reason. Is this because of their helmet? She wondered.
She does not think about it, flies above it, and then releases five balls of energy.
"Watch out! Melisandre! Prepare for plan A!"
The youngest one, Viserys, shouts while running toward the nearby pillar with a bow in hand. When he gets a clear view, he shoots at the crystal floating on top of the pillar. When his arrow hits its target, the crystal explodes.
When Viserys destroys one of the pillars, she can feel her immortality stripped from her body. In her excitement, she releases another roar that the others think of as anger. She dived down and hit one of the visitors with her head. The spell in her body demands her to bite them, but she manages to push them away so she does not kill them.
On the side, Viserys shoots the crystal with his bow while the others fight against the dragon, who is thrashing around and sending them flying. Some of them even need to use Ender Pearl to teleport them to the safe zone.
Viserys can only grit his teeth and trust them to kite the dragon away from him while he destroys all the End Crystal. He continues to run through the End with his bow and shoots at the crystal. When he sees the crystal surrounded by a cage, he pours six buckets of water around the obsidian pillar and creates a tower to the crystal.
After destroying the crystal, he jumps into the puddle of water underneath him and stores the water inside the bucket once again before running toward the next pillar. He keeps doing this for the next fifteen minutes before he can finally destroy the last pillar.
When Viserys destroys the last End Crystal, something changes with the dragon that is attacking his men. A sense of soul arrived within her eyes. The spell still makes her need to attack all the visitors, but now she can hold it for a moment to talk.
She turns around and looks at Viserys, who prepares to fight, and says.
"Thank you, O Stranger from beyond the stars"
