【Ayanokouji_Sora has been slain by the Wither.】
【Chell_Sumeragi has been slain by the Wither.】

“You were stalking me?”
“…Yes.”

After defeating the Wither Skeleton soldiers that had been summoned, I sent a private message to Anna.

Anna appeared, looking hesitant.

“I was watching Sora’s stream… And when I heard that you were going to fight the Wither, I wanted to watch live… so I used an invisibility potion.”
“The aggro switched to you, then.”
“…It seems so.”

The Wither automatically targets any living creature.
And “living creatures” don’t just mean players. In Minecraft, animals like sheep, cows, and pigs roam freely and can be domesticated.

“Do you remember which direction it flew off in?”
“I kind of remember… I think it went that way.”
“That’s the opposite direction of the 6th gen base. Do you know why Sora and Chell died?”
“Not really…”

She seemed unsure about that.

As unfortunate as Sora and Chell’s deaths were, Minecraft is a game where death is somewhat inevitable.
Even if you lose something permanently, all items can be regained with time and effort.
So, the bigger issue wasn’t their deaths but the Wither wreaking havoc indiscriminately.

“This… doesn’t look good.”

At some point, Anna had taken on the role of leading the way and muttered.

“What do you mean by ‘not good’?”
“If we keep heading this way, there’s… a city. The one the seniors built…”

Hmm.

As I mentioned, the Wither targets all living creatures on sight.
And any civilized area is bound to have livestock like sheep and cows.
Even an automatic iron factory involves capturing village NPCs, which means the Wither could cause untold damage.

‘We’re screwed.’

There was no better way to put it.

With Anna leading, we arrived at the city the seniors had built.

“This is bad…”

Next to me, Anna looked horrified.

The city was being destroyed in real time.

The livestock had all been killed, their bodies turned into piles of meat. The fences that once kept them in had been obliterated, and animals were running loose everywhere.
The Wither shot fireballs at the freed animals, and each fireball shattered the ground or destroyed buildings upon impact.

“There’s no way we can lure the Wither out of the city, is there?”

If the situation were a bit better, we could have lured the Wither outside the city for a safer hunt.
But with the loose livestock constantly attracting the Wither’s aggro, the city was doomed to further destruction.

“What do we do, teacher— no, Laura-chan?”
“Don’t call me that in such a creepy way. There’s only one thing we can do.”

We needed to take it down as fast as possible.
The city was already trashed, but if we eliminated the Wither quickly, we might reduce the damage.

I wanted a quick, decisive battle, but that seemed hard given the current circumstances.

“Anna, how far have you progressed in Minecraft content?”
“Content? I think I’ve done everything at least once…”
“You’ve been to the End, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then go fetch the items I’m about to ask for.”

I gave Anna a list of items.

A little while later, she returned with three key pieces of gear.

【Netherite Sword】
Holy Damage Lv.5, Heavy Attack Lv.3, Drop Rate Increase Lv.3, Durability Increase Lv.3, Auto-repair Lv.1

【Elytra】
Durability Increase Lv.3, Auto-repair Lv.1

[Stream Commentary] SoraCraft) Why did Anna die, lol?

Why did she die, seriously???

[Comments]
– Why was Anna logged in but not streaming?
– Looks like she got killed by the Wither.
(OP) But what was she doing when she died, lol?
– ??
– I’m frustrated we don’t have Laura’s POV.
– Why isn’t Ace-maiden streaming either, seriously?

[Stream Commentary] Sora also got killed by the Wither.

(Screenshot)

Just walking along and bumped into the Wither, lol.

[Comments]
– What on earth is happening, lol?
– Poor thing, she just wanted to visit the city, lol.
– Who knew building a chandelier would be this hard?
– Meanwhile, Chell making it to the city is hilarious.

[Stream Commentary] SoraCraft) EYEAI Minecraft server ruined.

This is an apocalypse.

[Comments]
– All the livestock have been released, omg…
– Was the city nuked or something, lol?
– The Wither looks so nasty when you see it like this.
– How did it end up in the city?

[Stream Commentary] Looks like the aggro bounced around a lot.

Laura managed to get the Wither down to half HP.

-> Anna must’ve been nearby and attracted the aggro.
-> Anna died.
-> Sora, passing by, got the aggro next.
-> Sora died, and the aggro shifted to Chell.
-> Chell ran to the city, causing everything to get messed up.
-> And now…

[Comments]
– So Laura must’ve let the Wither loose near the city.
(OP) Well, the 6th gen didn’t know where the city was.
– So the 6th gen didn’t even know the city’s location and were stuck on a deserted island???
(OP) Exactly…
– That’s insane, lol.

[Stream Commentary] SoraCraft) Laura is still fighting like a pro.

How does she manage to land hits every time she flies?

[Comments]
– Only Ace-maiden knows how to do that…
– Normally, that’s not how you fight the Wither, lol.
(OP) So how do you usually fight it?
– You trap it in a small space to limit its altitude.
– If you wear underwater gear and fight it in the ocean, it’s easier.
– Elytra control is insanely hard, and the fact that she’s pulling it off is crazy, lol.

“Come on, just come with me already…”

Chell glanced at the gallery posts as Sora’s voice drifted toward her. She figured Sora must have finally caught up by now.

Chell didn’t bother turning to look. Sora, too, stood next to her without expecting much of a reaction.

“Wow…”

Sora was the first to let out an exclamation.

In front of them lay the ruined city. Buildings and roads had been smashed, and debris was scattered everywhere.

But what caught the eye more than that was the three-headed skeleton monster flying in the sky—along with a black-haired girl soaring through the air.

On her back was a pair of wings Sora had never seen before. In one hand, she held a sword glowing with a purple hue, and in the other, a handful of fireworks.

“That’s Laura, right?”
“Yes.”
“What’s up with those wings? And that sword’s different from the one I gave her.”
“……”

Chell didn’t bother answering. She figured the viewers would explain, so there was no need for her, someone who wasn’t great with words, to chime in. And indeed, Sora didn’t expect an answer from Chell either.

The wings were one of Minecraft’s endgame items.
People only fought the Ender Dragon to unlock the End map, and the main reason people ventured into the End was to obtain these wings.

The purple-glowing sword was a top-tier weapon, coated with “Netherite,” a material only obtainable from the Nether.

‘Her senpai must’ve given it to her.’

There was no way Laura could have acquired those items in such a short time. It was natural to assume a senior had given them to her.

That said, it didn’t diminish Laura’s prowess.

Thwack!
Whack!

Laura, who had been running on the ground, jumped. She timed her use of fireworks perfectly.

Laura shot into the air, and at the peak of her ascent, she swung her sword at the Wither hovering high above.

The Wither’s HP dropped significantly, likely due to the sword’s Holy Damage attribute.

Despite being a hidden boss, the Wither was being thoroughly dominated.

The Wither’s strength was in its range—or more precisely, its altitude.

The Wither flew far above the reach of most players and rained down projectile attacks from a distance. That’s what made it a difficult boss.

But Laura bridged that gap with an “unconventional” method.

Normally, players would trap the Wither in an underground space to limit its altitude, but Laura had no need for such a tactic—she simply flew up to it.

The fireworks set provided a burst of propulsion, so by the time the fireworks exploded, Laura was already slicing into the Wither.

No matter how high the Wither tried to fly to escape, it was pointless. The propulsion from the fireworks was far faster.

‘Impressive.’

Even someone like Chell, with her average gaming skills, couldn’t help but be impressed.

Laura soared through the air several more times, and the Wither took a few more hits from her sword.

Eventually, the Wither’s body cracked and

Crackle…

It crumbled into dust.

At some point, the Wither’s HP had reached zero.

As proof, a Nether Star fell to the ground where the Wither had been.

This item was used to craft the Beacon.

‘My eyes have been blessed today. I feel healthier than usual.’

Having witnessed Laura’s impressive performance, Chell thought to herself.
