Episode 21: The Battle in the Nether (1)

******* Pigman Lord's POV *******

We made eye contact for a while, then he returned to killing my own people.

He is killing them so fast.

I can't believe that my soldier's enchanted golden weapons can't stop him.

I don't know where this human came from but we need to take him down.

He suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I was curious about him since he is wearing diamond armor and the last time I saw one is a long time ago so I tried to see his status using the eye of ender.

Eye of Ender is really hard to craft but I decided to use one on him.

I was so surprised to see his status.

Ageless Body - cannot age no matter how much time passed.

Rebirth (1) - can be revived by the Goddess of Creation only once if killed.

This is my first time seeing a human for about 200 years.

I can't believe I see one right now since I thought humans had already forgotten about this dimension.

He is also 528 years old.

He is about two times older than me.

I haven't seen any human that went past 60 aside from the hero from the past and other exceptional humans.

The hero is granted by the goddess a gift to roam this world for a long time so he can save this world while the other humans have other means to prolong their life but this is my first time to see a human that is basically an immortal.

Why would the Goddess of Creation favor this human so much?

The last time a hero popped up is when the world is about to get destroyed.

Is the destruction of this world happening again?

His abilities are also shocking.

He mastered crafting, enchanting, brewing, cartography and redstone.

He is a lot better than the last hero.

I have to assume his diamond armor and diamond weapon are enchanted to the highest enchantments he can put.

He also has inhuman strength and speed.

The last hero only has level 2 on him but this guy has level 5. Which means he is twice stronger than the last hero.

He is also efficient with melee and ranged combat.

I can see him switching weapons from sword to bow to kill my soldiers.

But what really surprised me are his gifts.

The last hero only has 5 gifts given to him by the goddess but this Carolus has 6.

He also can be revived if he is killed.

Not only he can't be aged but he also has two lives on him.

Bloody monster.

He is getting closer to me.

I don't want him anywhere near me.

"My personal guards! Go! Attack him!" I shouted at my guards who are close to me protecting me.

They looked at each other for a while with a confused look.

"But my lord, he is only one human. The soldiers will handle him. No need to send us and leave you unguarded." One of them finally said after a moment.

I was getting pissed off at them since they can't see that my soldiers are not enough to stop that human.

Stolen story; please report.

I have around 200 soldiers in this castle but I really don't think they can even scratch him.

"I said GO!" I said to them once again.

They still have hesitation to follow my order but they began moving to attack the human.

I'm standing near the castle keep door.

I'm quite high on the ground and can see every movement of that human.

He already killed around 50 of my soldiers and now is quickly heading toward me.

My 20 personal guards are now closing in on that human.

They still the same size as my regular pigmen soldiers but they are a lot faster and stronger.

They also have the best golden equipment.

That human will die soon enough.

The leader of my personal guards is the one who attacked first.

He swings his giant sword towards the human to cut him in half. The human was struck on top of the head. The human didn't time to react since he is so busy blocking attacks on every side.

I was about to breathe a sigh of relief since I thought the human was dead but he is still unharmed.

He just swings his sword and cuts the leader of my personal guard into two along with his giant sword and golden armor.

The body falls down on the ground and everyone suddenly stopped moving.

The human is so strong to be able to cut an enchanted golden armor and weapon into two.

"What are you doing!? Kill him!" I shouted at every one since all of them are stunned about what happened.

All of my soldiers resumed attacking with my personal guards leading the battle.

The human just cut them into two every single one that approaches him.

Half of my personal guards are now dead.

I ordered my soldiers and my personal guards to distance from the human and just attack him from afar.

Arrows, crossbow bolts, and spears are being shot at the human but he just still fine and slowly walking towards the keep.

But there is something happening to the armor of that human.

It is slowly losing durability and cracks can already be seen.

Good.

We can kill him once his armor breaks.

We still have lots of golden arrows and bolts to fire at him.

He is finally going to die.

But contrary to my belief, his armor suddenly shines for a moment and all the damage we have done is now gone. Like it is a brand new armor.

I can see the human no longer holding a sword and shield but a bow.

He nocks 3 arrows in his bow and fires back at the soldiers on top of the wall.

The arrows suddenly exploded upon hitting my soldiers and all of them are now in pieces.

All of their pieces suddenly flown all over the place and splattered the entire castle.

I quickly turned around and opened the keep door.

I immediately head inside and ordered the soldiers defending the keep to lock all the doors.

I decided to hide in my personal room since the door is made out of iron that I managed to collect from all the fools who stumbled in my territory.

I was planning to report this to the king but I don't want to get out of my room.

No matter how strong he is or what type of weapon he has, he can't break that iron door.

I just have to wait for him to die from my soldiers or wait for him to leave.

I suddenly can hear someone fighting outside and not very long I started to hear screaming.

After a while, the screaming suddenly stops.

I was starting to get worried and ready my golden sword and wore my golden armor.

The iron door suddenly breaks down in front of me and I can see the human holding a really big diamond hammer.

That is impossible.

He just destroyed an iron door with one swing.

I don't know what to do.

I can't die.

We haven't conquered the nether dimension.

Who gave this human the right to take away the pigmen's chance to rule this dimension?

He started to raise his hammer to pound me.

"Wait! Her...!"

******* Carolus' POV *******

"Wait! Her...!" I can hear him saying something but I just pound away.

I don't know why these pigmen started attacking me the moment they saw me but I have the right to defend myself.

I managed to take care of about 100 of them.

There is still about a hundred of them outside.

I wonder why they didn't follow me here?

I thought this guy is their leader? Why didn't they rush here to protect him?

It doesn't matter.

I have to quickly loot the leader's inventory for anything useful and just escape from here.

They managed to lose my armor's durability to a quarter but I managed to repair it using levels.

I managed to use up about 10 levels to repair all of my gear.

I still have 96 levels so I don't have to worry about breaking my armor but I have to get out of here.

I can't keep fighting them since I can't gain anything from them.

I began to crouch to the dead leader and opened up his inventory.

He has a lot of stuff in here.

He has about 15 ender pearls and 2 eye of enders.

I don't know what he did with one of the eye of ender.

I only know two uses for the eye of ender.

To find an end gate portal. You just have to throw it in the air since it will follow the direction on a nearby end gate portal.

The other use is to fill all of the end portal blocks to open the gateway to the end dimension.

But he just pointed the eye of ender at me and it suddenly breaks.

I should try it in the future to see what happens.

He also has blaze rods in his inventory.

Hallelujah!

I finally have blaze rods to craft a brewing stand.

I wonder where did he find the blazes?

Damn.

I should have kept him alive to asked him questions.

I was so heated up with the battle and adrenaline is fueling my body.

I wasn't thinking straight and just keep on swinging like a madman.

Maybe I could ask the people outside where to find blazes?

I looted everything in his inventory and started to look around the castle keep for other things that can be taken.

I feel like playing an RPG game.

After defeating the boss, I'm now looking around for my loots and rewards.

I opened every chest in the keep and loot any items that seem useful.

I also found an ender chest in one of the rooms.

I don't know what to do with this.

I tried opening it and I can see only letters containing orders and reports.

I picked one of the letters to see what it is.

The content is about how many wither skeleton warriors passed the territory and how many loots they managed to contain.

I read every single letter inside the ender chest.

I learned that the big pigman I just killed is the lord of this castle and he ordered by the king to defend the border.

I was shocked to know that my portal is in the middle of a turf war between the pigmen and the wither skeleton.

Great.

Not only I spawn in this world in the middle of the Forest of Monsters but my nether portal is also in the middle of two monsters fighting each other.

I wonder how to use this ender chest?

It is probably connected to other ender chests that are around the pigmen territory since they used it as a means to communicate with each other.

I should take this ender chest with me to test it out.

I have two diamond pickaxe in my inventory and one of them has a silk touch enchantment.

I started hitting the ender chest with the pickaxe to collect it.

It took a while to break the ender chest but it is finally in my inventory.

I can just craft another ender chest to see if they connect to each other.

After collecting my loot, I started walking towards the castle keep door.

It is broken down since I hit it hard with my big hammer.

I ready my sword to fight my way out but I was surprised at what I'm seeing.

All of the pigmen suddenly thrown their weapons on the ground.

They are probably surrendering.

Thank god.

The battle is finally over.
