Minecraft: loading new world

I was on top of a Nether hill looking at the bastion beneath me.

It was one of the bigger ones I've seen with a lot of Brutes walking up and down patrolling the walls.

But those Brutes were different from the others, all of them were 3 blocks tall with black skin and empty eyes.

It was a recently discovered phenomenon, that brought confusion throughout the Nether.

And the reason soon showed itself, in the form of a black skeleton.

Yes, this bastion was occupied by the Wither, or more exactly it was under his flag.

For some reason, it started to conquer one settlement after another and enslave the people inside it.

Once they were corrupted by its power, they grew more powerful but became mindless beasts like the skeletons.

There were a few exceptions, those who pledged their loyalty to the Wither in exchange for power and keeping their sanity.

Those people were the ones managing the bastions where the Wither wasn't present.

As for the reason all of this happened, Alexa theorized that it tried to take over the Nether system like itself.

There's a chance it managed to steal some memories from Alexa while it was first in control but didn't have the necessary knowledge to make a base for itself.

That's why he tried to gather an army for himself to attack the Nether Kingdom.

He does have the strength to make an ungodly amount of skeletons, but he can't make them smart, for that he needs the people of the Nether who aren't all willing to join his side.

The plan was great, he tried to invade Alexa from the last connection he knew and slowly gathered his army to attack the other Nation.

But on both fronts, it failed.

Alexa could always feel the shift in space and stopped any attempts of portal forming, and because of its vast energy, its domain was much bigger than the first time we met.

What's even funnier, is that the Wither wasn't strong enough to fight the System seriously, so he could only attempt to make portals in Alexa's domain of control, otherwise, the System would appear instantly and deal with the Wither if he dared to cross the obsidian frame.

As for his army gathering, it began with great success, only for the Mad Prince to find out about it, and quickly dispatch his army against the settlements he conquered.

Surprisingly, the Brutes army overwhelmed the Withers army.

No matter how big the bastion was, the Prince's army always won.

The only battles the Wither won, were the ones he participated in, and even those it was more like he defended his base than defeating the opposing army.

The Wither was powerful by itself, and even a good commander, but the Mad Prince seems to be a beast on his own.

It was reassuring to hear that my mistake didn't mess up the whole world, but that didn't mean I sat down and rested for the past 7 months.

I've been training nonstop and made great progress.

And today, I was going to test my training by taking over this infested bastion.

I put my spyglass down and took a deep breath, this spyglass was more special than the others, it was enchanted.

Whenever I looked through it, I could see at great distances and knew the exact coordinates of that place.

I took those coordinates and noted them down in my book.

Then I took out my red ink and wrote an enchanted square with the coordinates I just got.

"This should be enough, the next patrol team is going to arrive in 5 minutes, plenty of time to take over the bastion."

With the preparations done, I drank a few potions and placed a Perl in the center of the square.

Besides the square was a smaller one connected by a thin red line.

Inside the small square, I placed a lapis ore, which quickly turned to dust making the whole formula glow a faint red.

As the light got to its peak, the Perl disappeared, and suddenly I was on top of the walls.

This was one of the big findings from my training.

After I maxed out my level in Enchanting, I concerted on the more unique enchants of the ancient civilization, and one of them was a teleporter.

That was what I called a portable Enchanting.

The reason for that is becouse you don't need an Enchanting table to make it work, and it has the properties of teleporting something at the exact coordinates you set.

Unfortunately, you can't teleport living beings so I couldn't become a knockoff Enderman.

But pearls are not considered living beings, which meant that I placed one in the square and teleported myself that way.

Alexa was impressed with my ingenuity and even praised me.

I looked down at the interior of the Bastion and saw a large army of black skeletons and a dark throne with a brute on it, who was laughing by himself while playing with gold.

"Just as I expected, this place is infested with corruption. The only reason it hasn't been dealt by the Prince is because it's too far in the border."

That's why I chose it instead.

I took a device out of my inventory and threw it in the middle of the skeleton army.

The device hit the head of a soldier and then on the floor, making a loud noise.

Everyone turned towards it and looked with confusion.

Suddenly the device turned on making a low beeping sound, and then a huge dome appeared above the army.

The sentient brute panicked and ran out of the blue dome, right on time as the item started to take effect.

This device had one job, and it was to slowly attracted everyone towards it.

The skeletons tried to run away from it, but couldn't since these items worked like water.

You could outrun it if you were a human, but if you were a mob it would've stopped you or brought you towards it.

"The first step is done."

Next, I took out a white potion and threw it in the middle of the crowd.

As it hit the skull of the skeleton, it broke and white flame began to spread all over the crowd.

Those flame were special since it was a combination of regeneration and a flame potion.

That's why, this was the best method to attack a group of undead since it would spread everywhere as long as there were undead nearby.

The fire continued to spread and the skeletons died one by one until everyone was just charcoal.

"You! How dare you destroy the army given to me by the Wither! I'll kill you for this!"

While the fire worked for the undead, the corrupted Brutes were not considered undead, which would result in healing them if I threw the white potion.

And while I dealt with the majority of the army, they were just foot soldiers, the corrupted Brutes were the elites.

They came at me with great speeds, so the device wouldn't stop them even if I threw another one, but I was prepared for this.

From my bundle bag, I took out 3 miny iron golems and threw them on the ground.

Once they hit the floor, they locked like normal toys, but one second later they grew back to their original size and looked at me for the next instruction.

"Defeat the Brutes while I'll deal with their boss."

They all turned towards the wave of enemies and began to attack, decimating everyone in their way.

As for how I managed to put the golems in my inventory, it's another result of my research in Enchanting.

Since Golems are technically living beings and not at the same time, the Enchanting tattoos were much more compatible than the ones for Merry.

But I could only put one permanent enchant, and I choose to make them smaller and more portable.

When you pass the 8-level mark at any skill, you get some pretty wacky recipes.

The bundle is one such item, that makes my inventory a little bigger, even though it's specialized for individual items.

Perfect for my portable army.

As the golems became the perfect distraction, I turned my eyes toward the brute who was controlling everything from a safe distance.

Unfortunately for him, I was on top of the walls, so he couldn't see that his army was decimated in great numbers, otherwise he would've run.

Not only that, but because of all the fighting noise the golems were making he lost sight of me, making my next action easy.

On my back, I had a red cape filled with enchanted language.

The man was around 30 blocks away from me.

If I jumped from this high, there's a chance that I'll survive at half a heart, and not be able to walk for a while.

And writing another teleportation circle would take too much time.

That's why, I was going to use the cape to get to him.

I jumped off the edge towards the ground.

Gravity did its job and brought me down faster and faster until I grabbed the cape by the edges and spread it like wings.

When I did that, all the momentum began to die down until I reached the ground with no damage received.

This cape was the result of me, trying to create an elytra with no success.

Phantoms existed in this world, but only in cold biomes, and Alexa didn't have any recipes for the magical wings.

That's why I tried to recreate the effect using enchantments with some success.

This cape was specially made from dyed Hog skin, and enchanted with Feather Falling.

And since the cape had such a large surface area, it acted as a parachute.

And no matter what height I'm falling from, I can always land safe if I spread my 'wings'.

Unfortunately, that's the only thing they did, since I couldn't travel in the air like with the Elytra, but it was still a good item.

While I did land safely on the ground, the Brute leader now saw me fom my quite big entrance.

"You're the one who made all this mess? How dare you attack this place, do you realize who you're up against?"

I didn't see a reason for me to continue this conversation, so I began to run towards him with my sword out.

The Brute cursed at me and took out his shield and weapon ready for a fight.

In my right hand I had the sword, and in my left hand I had some blocks, and as I was getting closer to him, I began placing the blocks making a staircase.

The man got spoked for a moment and raised his shield to block my attack.

But I switched the blocks with a Perl, and threw it right behind him.

I managed to hit the shield with my legs before I was teleported, and right as I did that, I slashed the man's behind, leaving a burning scar.

The Brute jumped forward in pain and began to yell and curse while putting out the fire.

I found out that the Fire Aspect enchant had the addition ability to inflict a lot of pain to my enemies.

That's why you needed a special permit in the Overworld to use it.

Good thing I wasn't there.

The man manged to put out the fire faster because of his armor, but he still took some damage.

"You bustard, I'll kill yo- AAAHHHHHHH!"

I was getting tierd if his cursing, so I threw a dark potion towards him, making him catch on fire once again.

But this time he died in a few breaths.

This potion was another dangerous one, since it was a combination of Instant damage and Fire.

This combination made the flames more deadly and harder to put out, making a good weapong against any kind of armor.

Solomon and Blue had a bleast coming up with these.

The battle was over, and the golems almost finished up as well.

A battled that required a whole army was dealt with only one person.

I would say that this was a great success!

"It's time to meet the System."
