Chapter 49

As much as I want to fuck her, I decide to hold back. Melisandre looks disappointed, but after I say that I will take her when I reach adulthood, those words bring a smile to her face.

Anyway, after taking a bath, we are ready to explore the Ruin of Valyria. However, before we enter the ruin, I decide to call the scout.

"Your Highness!"

"At ease. Tell me what you found from yesterday's scouting."

"Yes, Your Highness. I am sorry to inform you, but I did not go far."

"Don't worry about it. Just tell me what you saw, and we will plan our journey."

"Yes! There are no undead in the first few hundred meters on our journey. The road is destroyed but still easy to walk across. The one we should watch over is the building on the side of the road. They are fragile. It goes down with a single pebble I throw at it."

"How big is the road?"

"It is five meters wide, Your Highness. We are good as long as we don't enter the buildings. However, after we reach around five hundred meters, there is a massive rubble that we need to take away or climb over. I suggest we climb over because behind this rubble is a horde of undead. I am lucky they do not see or smell me because the rubble is rather tall."

I nod my head. That is where my enchanted sword comes in handy. It has [Smite] enchantment on it, after all.

"I return after knowing I cannot go deeper."

"And you make the right choice. How many of them?"

"There are as many as us!"

That is quite a lot of them, huh? If we are not careful, it can be a problem. I think I need to bring some construction material.

"Go ahead and rest. You earn it."

"Ummm, Your Highness?"

"Yes?"

"I am sorry to ask this, but can I go with you?"

I look at the young man, around seven years older than me, and say.

"Are you sure? This will be dangerous, you know? This is not your regular adventure back in Solaris, you know?"

"I know. I have seen the foul magic that awaits us, but I want to experience an adventure I will never get! I want to witness what kind of foul magic we will face and beat them. I want to be part of your journey, Your Highness! Even as a scout."

I look at him for a few seconds before saying.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Varreno, Your Highness! Varreno, Son of Lazoros!"

"Very well. Join us, Varreno. I can use your quick feet."

"Yes! I will not disappoint you, Your Highness!"

After giving him some specialized equipment, we departed.

==||==

Yikes. Varreno is not lying. There are a lot of them.

We are currently standing on a platform I made to watch them from afar. I think of a way of killing them all. I look at Willem and say.

"Ser Willem, what do you think we should do now?"

"We can immediately go down and kill them where they stand. The second way is to create a wall or platform for us to stand and shoot them with arrows. The first one will result in some injuries, but it is the faster way to kill them. The second one is safer, but they are slower."

I think for a few seconds before saying.

"Let's go with the first one. I don't want to spend all day here."

Willem nods his head and shouts.

"Men! Prepare your shield!"

I pour water and watch the people jump into the puddle of water—minecraft logic for the win. Water from Minecraft World will carry the same logic even when I bring it to the real world. I am the last one to jump as I take the water using my bucket before storing the bucket in my inventory.

When I land on the ground, I can already see the others already fighting the undead. I take out my sword and shield before joining the fight. I thrust my sword at the first undead I encountered and continued to swing my sword.

One by one, undead turn into ashes, and we slowly march through the massive amount of undead.

The people behind us throw potions to the ground near us when we get injured by the undead. I look to the side and see a snake made of fire burn the undead that tries to attack me. I turn to Melisandre and give her a small nod.

We continue to move forward, inches by inches, as we fight through hundreds of undead coming at us.

==||==

"Haaa… Haaa…"

I pant as I wipe the sweat from my forehead. Just how many of them are here?! It takes us almost all day to reach this place. The sun is going down now, and in only a few more hours before it goes down.

I put away my sword and drank some water from the water canteen. I release a sigh and say.

"Alright, people! We are here! Let's end it, and we can return home!"

"Oh!"

After saying that, we walk toward the palace, but as we get closer, the ground starts to shake and a giant skeletal dragon comes from the ground. It looks at us and roars.

"What the fuck?!"
