Zombie slayer: A Minecraft story

Chapter 14

For a whole week, we traveled through a huge ocean for the first whole day and night, where during the night, drowned tried to hit us with their unlimited supply of tritants and we had no choice but to head to a nearby artificial island where another one of Zennor's contacts, Von Lycaon manages the Victoria Housekeeping's lakeside tower, one of many of Victoria Housekeeping's property hotels around the overworld.

Lycaon was an intimidating wolf ancient builder hybrid, but given how he had seen many cases of unusual requests, he was somehow polite, well-mannered, and good looks. He even helped us plan a safer yet still dangerous route to Wizard's base where the anti-Herobrine magic shield was.

Von Lycaon: "So here's the map of the area where we are..." pointed to the circle where we were. "...And this..." Pointed to a dark blue banner marking Wizard's base. "Is where you needed to go to avoid master Herobrine. Whay I suggest you do is take a route that involves going into the mouth of a ravine where a minecart system will take you to a nearby city where I'll contact Master Ish13c to a safe home before he takes you to an undisclosed route that has you take 400 blocks to Master Wizard's base where you'll take the nether portal without being touched by Master Herobrine."

We were grateful for Lycaon's expertise in politics, navigation, and information about routes as well as structures. Zennor was even more greatful, as he paid Von Lycaon 21 emeralds, plus 5 diamonds as a tip and for getting information for a reliable route, before Zennor said, "Thanks for the help in our oddessy."

Lycaon nodded in approval, "Thank you Master Zennor, for the recognition. Don't worry, I'll give Mastet Tonji plenty of breathing room for our guests."

Me: "Thank you, Lycaon."

So after a good night sleep,  the next day we checked out and went as instructed by Lycaon by heading to a piece of land that has a nearby ravine, went inside, followed the signs to the Minecart system where we had to take down a welcoming committee of Zombies, creepers, skeleton archers, and both cave and normal spiders before getting to the Minecart system.

We got to the station where Ish13c was waiting for us, Zennor gave 14 emeralds for payment before he got a pumpkin in Tonji's head to disguise him before heading into the street where we got to outside the city to a surrounding village where Ish13c said he owned the whole village and puts the village houses as for let so he can get plenty of emeralds. He got us to his mansion where he has a private mine where he managed to make it mobs safe and uses it for his private use as work from home.

After four days of waiting, Ish13c got us two horses and leads to carry us to the drop-off. After a 15 minute trip that gotten us travelling across 500 blocks, Ish13c and his friend Jawunleashed said farewell to the three of us and we took the test of the route on foot which was dangerous to do in a snowy forest at night because of the number of Hostile mobs spawning all over the forest which slowed us down.

What was even worse that a tired ancient builder had made a really small cobblestone base which only has room for him, a chest, two furnaces, and a crafting table. This led to a huge amount of phantoms spawning in the sky due to the tired ancient builder not sleeping, so thanks to that, tired ancient builder, we also had to contend with phantoms as a cherry on top the dangerous route, which forced us to build a quick shelter which Tonjihelped to build while we distracted the hostile mobs from Tonji's building, which eventually we managed to hunker down for the night while Tonji used his clock to see when daylight was coming.

We were able to walk the rest of the way where we stumbled across a skull entrance embedded into the snowy mountain. "The base of Wizard." I said to both Tonji and Zennor. "We are finally here to get to the nether."

And so we got to the entrance of the base where an ancient builder wore a blue Wizard's gown with yellow stars and had a rectangular long vertical nose and a grey long beard He is similar to the Witches of minecraft, but he was rumoured to be both friendly and hostile at times. But today, he seems to be in a good mood to help out three adventurers.

Wizard: "Ahh! Zennor, my old friend, welcomed back to my world, so how can I help you?"

We followed Wizard into a woodland mansion themed hall, Zennor said, "We need to get to the nether without Herobrine getting close to us."

Wizard stopped suddenly.

We all stopped suddenly, too.

Wizard turned to us whilst his blue Cape flew over our heads.

Wizard: "Well, Zennor, Nezo, and Tonji, If you want to go to the nether without Herobrine, then do me a favour and kill all 13 waves of hostile mobs for my guests who are staying here at the moment. They are getting bored with what I do at the moment, just like every other ancient builder and player with what they want to do with their lives in this overworld called Minecraft."

Wizard turned back and led them to a huge underground fighting arena, where there were four guests currently staying who, unlike the other ancient builders, had name tags called players. They have some different abilities like chatting to each other via 'chat' or whatever it is they do as well as 'leaving or entering the game' which is totally ridiculous because I never seen them disappeared without running or drinking.

The first had black hair, rectangular glasses, mild amounts of hair around the lower edges of the face, and a three piece suit with a stripy tie. The name tags say 'De***!?boom'.

the second had a black mask with reflective eyes and a small mouth hole. He had a red dressing gown with black joggers and red trainers. The name tag says 'Shorts wars boss'

The third wore more casual clothing with dark blue hair, pixilated anime eyes, and a fleece that looked modern and shorts. She also had a miss match with socks but had dark trainers. Her name tag is 'Phaethon'.

The fourth looked more like a robot with a grey wig, yellow eyes on a black screen with five yellow lights above, a black dress, some caution markers on her lower legs and had chunky arms unlike 'Phaethon' which were thin. The name tag was 'Designation J'.

They were all looking bored to death judging by their poses and facial expressions and well as chatter which we couldn't hear, but we knew that if we can make them snap out of their boredom, they can be happy. The three of us looked at each other. We knew we had to do it as we confidently nodded and said what Wizard needed.

The three of us: "We accept the challenge!" 

We shouted at Wizard so confidently that this got the attention of Wizard's guests.

Wizard started quickly before he laughed normally before loudly laughing menacingly before he stopped softly and said, "Very well, because if one of you survive a wave, You all survived into the next wave and if you do that in the very end. Then I'll be happy to honour your deal with no payment required. But if you lose, I'll be sending Tonji to Herobrine. Do you understand what odds you have to face for getting to the nether?"

We all nodded.

Wizard: "Good. So, let's begin."

As wizard got us to the preparation room, while we were preparing, Wizard suddenly uncrouched, got to chat to announce that there's a mob breach in his arena and got to the portal room where he put a lever where the portal is, activated the Redstone door that has the controls of his anti-Herobrine shield. He turned off the shield, and the portal's purple swirling turned white, and the evil laugh of Herobrine was heard before he came out the portal.

Wizard was not intimidated and spoke normally with this:

"It's been a while, old friend."
