Chapter 47

|3rd POV|

"Activate the wind orbs!"

Harlan roars as he spins the wheel of the ship to dodge another rock while fighting against the wind blowing in the opposite direction. Harlan stirs the ship left and right, dodging all the rocks on their way.

"Your Highness! Can you blast that rock in front of us?!"

Viserys nods his head and runs to the head of the ship. He takes out his mace and uses the firework to fly toward the rock not too far away from him before swinging down his mace. A thunder-like sound happens when his mace hits the target, and the rocks turn into dust.

He is not done. He takes out two TNTs from his inventory, places them near the rock, and then ignites them using flint and steel. Viserys flies away and watches as the TNT explodes, reducing the rocks into pieces and making a pathway for the ship.

He lands on the ship and sees Melisandre look at Captain Harlan with a frown. She does not like him ordering Viserys around, but because of how dangerous the journey to Valyria is, Viserys agrees to be one of his crew members instead of his king for this journey to help get to Valyria.

Harlan uses the Spyglass that Viserys crafts in Minecraft World and checks if there are more obstacles on the way. Seeing there is none, Harlan makes sure the ship is steady enough to pass through the pathway Viserys created.

"Almost there! Come on!"

Harlan mutters as he navigates through the dangerous sea. However, he snaps from his concentration when one of his crew shouts something.

"What the hell is that?!"

One of the crew shouts in shock and confusion while pointing at something on their port side. Viserys quickly go to the port side and see the undead swimming toward their ships. He widens his eyes and shouts.

"Sword! Undead coming through! Harlan! Focus on taking us to Valyria! The rest of you! Defend the ship! Three of you! Defend the captain!"

The rest of the crew take out their swords enchanted with [Smite] and prepare to get boarded by the undead. A few of them take out a spear (a spear made of a sword tied to a pole.) and start to stab the undead who start climbing the ship.

"Incoming!"

The spearmen walk backwards while still pointing their spears at the undead who manage to board the ship.

"UARGH!"

The undead scream as they charge forward and get impaled by the spear wall. Viserys roars and charges at the undead from the side. The other follows his example and charges as well. They swing their sword and each time it hits the undead, light shines upon the undead and hurts the undead even though they are already dead.

Not only that, once the sword hits the target, it makes them weaker to another attack. Because of this effect, they easily kill the undead with two to seven hits.

They continue to fight against the undead horde, and after a few minutes of fighting, the undead horde stops. However, they do not have time to rest as they see a giant undead appear from the ocean. It is an amalgamation of all undead in this part of the sea.

"Melisandre! Can you light that thing on fire?!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Viserys takes out his mace once again and takes a flight. Melisandre releases a fireball at the giant undead and makes it stagger for a second while also lighting it on fire. Viserys uses this chance as he flies to the sky and falls above the giant undead. He swings his mace into its head and turns its head into a chunk of flesh.

"What?!"

However, instead of dying, the giant undead moves its hand and tries to catch him. With a boost from fireworks, he dodges the giant undead and flies to the sky once again.

"Does it not die from that height? How much HP does this thing have?"

He shakes his head and continues to fly high into the sky. The giant undead moves its sight to the ship after noticing Viserys disappear into the cloud of smoke and ash above it. However, before it can get near the ship, Viserys flies down and swings his mace once again when he appears above the giant undead.

This time, his attack creates an explosion, and the entire body of the giant undead explodes into nothing but flesh mist.

"Urgh. Undead bits. I need a wash."

Viserys lands back on the ship and sees the others also done with the remaining undead that appears late from the water. He takes out a bucket of water, creates a two-by-two cube using dirt, and then pours some of the water inside. He is making an infinite water source.

After he is done cleaning his body, he lets the others do the same while he walks to Melisandre.

"Melisandre, what kind of things are they? I know that they are undead, but the feeling they release is even more foul than I thought it was."

Melisandre looks at him and says.

"They are the former slaves of the Valyria Dragon Lords. They are the slaves that are tossed to the ocean to defend Valyria from pirates or, worse, other kingdoms. However, before they drowned alive, the Dragon Lords put a curse on their body so they would come back alive and attack anyone other than the Dragon Lords if they reached this part of the sea. The feeling you feel from them is the curse that grows stronger after the Doom of Valyria."

They are the unfortunate souls that are cursed in life, and even death cannot bring them peace. Their hatred for the living makes them what they are, and only by killing them a second time that they finally find peace.

"Will there be more of them in the ruined city of Valyria?"

"Yes. Without a doubt."

Viserys releases a sigh and says.

"Then it is lucky that I prepared a lot of potions and food for this journey."

He shakes his head and looks at Melisandre.

"Do you know what kind of thing we should watch out for when we arrive there?"

"More abomination. However, the abomination that guards that cursed the city most likely has the stronger version of what we have been fighting. There is also the possibility of an undead dragon as our opponent. I am sorry for not knowing, my lord."

Viserys waves his hand and says.

"Don't worry about it. That information is already enough for us. We only need to be extra careful from now on."

He looks at Captain Harlan and says.

"Harlan! How long until we arrive?!"

"According to the map, in a few more hours, Your Highness!"

"Good."
