Beyond The End [Dream team x Reader]

Chapter 40

Y/N's POV

The Bastion was chaos.

Piglins poured from every hallway.

The Brute was still alive.

And Sapnap had an arrow sticking out of his shoulder because he apparently had a death wish.

I shoved him behind the broken pillar harder than necessary.

"Stay here."

"I'm literally fine."

"You got shot."

"I'm alive."

"That's not the same thing."

For some reason that made him grin.

Actually grin.

In the middle of a Bastion.

While bleeding.

I stared at him.

"You are impossible."

"You're worried about me."

My face immediately got hot.

"There's a difference."

"Is there?"

"Yes."

He looked entirely unconvinced.

A roar echoed through the chamber.

The Piglin Brute.

Right.

The giant murder machine.

Important.

I turned away before Sapnap could say anything else and sprinted back toward the fight.

⸻

Dream was already engaged with the Brute.

Steel clashed against gold.

The impact echoed through the chamber.

The Brute swung its axe.

Dream barely ducked underneath it.

George fired an arrow from the second level.

The shot landed cleanly.

The Brute barely seemed to notice.

"Oh that's horrible," George called.

"Less commentary!" Dream shouted.

"More helpful commentary!"

The Brute charged again.

Dream blocked.

Got pushed backward several blocks.

My stomach dropped.

That thing hit like a truck.

I rushed forward immediately.

The Brute turned toward Dream for another swing.

Its back exposed.

Training kicked in before I could think.

Step.

Pivot.

Strike.

My sword connected with the side of its armor.

Not enough damage.

But enough to pull its attention.

The Brute turned.

Directly toward me.

Oh.

That might have been a mistake.
