Minecraft has many practical melee weapons.
Swords are eternal classics, both light and sharp, while axes have stronger attack power and can disable shields.
Tridents have a wide attack range and can be thrown when necessary.
However, when you need to crush your enemies into pancakes, there is only one choice.
The Mace!
This is a melee weapon with low base attack power but the ability to increase fall attack damage, provide knockback effects, and grant immunity to fall damage after hitting an entity.
Added to vanilla content in more recent times.
Holding it in hand, one can feel its heavy mass.
"Naga, how many hits from my mace can you withstand?"
Entering the Naga Courtyard, Galen Yu was eager to try it out.
"Hiss!"
Sensing the arrival of an enemy, the Naga let out a roar.
It had a face like a human's, with green skin and fangs, its eyes flashing red.
Standing in front of it, there was a full sense of pressure. If a player were a bit more cowardly, they would surely be frightened by this face!
"The bosses in the Twilight Forest are so terrifying!"
"If he can easily defeat a tide of corpses, he can definitely defeat the Naga, right?"
"I think we should pay more attention to that thief on the beam rather than the Naga!"
"The Samurai Nation is all the same. Ronan Mountwell is a villain, and Kira Oakmoor is even more despicable!"
"They wanted to harm us in the Nether, and now they want to repeat the same old trick in the Twilight Forest?"
"Great God Galen Yu's armor is unusual; he should be able to withstand it, right?"
"Even with good equipment, facing a tide of corpses plus a boss plus Kira's sneak attack, it will still be difficult, won't it?"
"They really have no shame at all!"
Frightened by the appearance of the Naga, the Nine Provinces' audience hated the Samurai Nation even more.
Compared to the Nether which only had small monsters, there was now an added boss, stronger zombies, and Kira Oakmoor, who knew how to use a katana.
The situation now was clearly much more arduous!
"Damn maggots!"
Disgusted by the Samurai Nation, Headmaster Quill cursed loudly.
"What kind of skill is a sneak attack? If you have the ability, fight head-on!"
Iron set versus alloy set—in a head-on battle, Kira Oakmoor was definitely no match for Galen Yu!
Beside him, Fries remained silent, deep in thought.
He always felt like Galen Yu knew something in advance.
"Did he know beforehand from Zane Wu that the zombie mutation was coming?"
While others fled in panic from the corpse tide, Galen Yu went to the Nether in advance to prepare alloy equipment and easily slaughtered the zombies.
Various actions did not seem like spur-of-the-moment decisions.
"So, has he already prepared to deal with the boss?"
In anticipation, Galen Yu raised his Mace and officially entered the battle.
Not afraid of the Naga's meager damage at all, Galen Yu rushed directly to the boss's face and smashed down with the mace.
[-6]
The damage was very low, not even as high as a Netherite Sword.
However, with the "Wind Burst" enchantment attribute, every time it hits a target, it generates a storm, launching the user and surrounding creatures upward.
The boss had toughness, so the distance it was blown back wasn't high, but Galen Yu flew directly over a dozen blocks high.
"What's the situation? Is he coming to catch me?"
Hiding in the tree canopy, Kira subconsciously shrank back to ensure she wasn't discovered.
After confirming through the gaps in the leaves that she wasn't spotted, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She almost thought her tracks had been exposed and he had jumped to the top of the tree to catch her!
Kira had self-awareness and knew that deep black flowing light equipment looked extraordinary and was definitely not something she could compete with.
Since she couldn't win a head-on fight, she had to hide and sneak attack from the shadows.
Since her position was safe, Kira felt a bit of pleasant surprise amidst her confusion.
"Jumping so high, Galen Yu is going to fall to his death!"
Jumping down from a height of over a dozen blocks, if not dead, he would be severely crippled!
She poked her head out to look at the courtyard.
[-78!]
"Such high damage!"
A player's health, without any buffs or enhancements, is only ten hearts, or twenty points.
Eighty points of damage was higher than four players combined!
"Is Galen Yu dead!?"
No one could withstand such high damage. She hurriedly looked at the landing spot.
Galen Yu was unharmed. Instead, the health bar representing the Naga boss had dropped by a third.
Yes.
With one hit, the boss lost a third of its health!
Without hesitation, Galen Yu immediately launched a second attack.
[-6]
[-75!]
This time the flight height was slightly lower, resulting in a bit less damage.
But after two critical hits, the Naga's health was cut by two-thirds, leaving it in a crippled state.
Its eyes turned blood-red, and after adjusting its body, it launched a charge at Galen Yu.
[ANGRY CHARGE]
The charge had a knockback effect, and with the help of this force, the Wind Burst was triggered again.
Thus, the audiences from various nations and Kira Oakmoor witnessed such a scene.
[-120!]
[ONE ATTACK DEALT ONE HUNDRED POINTS OF HEALTH, ACHIEVED A "GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY"!]
One hit, over a hundred health points!
A terrifying amount of damage never seen before!
While many viewers were still dazed, the Naga had already died!
"The Naga is at low health, Kira-kun, move now!"
"Huh? Dead so fast?"
"From the start of the battle to the end, was it even ten seconds?"
"I counted, it was about five seconds and a bit more. The Naga was insta-killed!"
"Are you kidding me? Was that last critical hit a hundred health points?!"
"My God, that's equivalent to damage that can kill five contestants at once. Is the Nine Provinces really not cheating?"
"What on earth is that!"
From start to finish, let alone stealing the first kill.
Kira Oakmoor didn't even get a chance to climb down from the tree canopy!
Realizing this, only one thought remained in Kira Oakmoor's mind.
Escape!
Escape quickly!
The further the better!
The Naga had high health and could withstand three hits, but what about her?
With twenty points of health, wouldn't she be gone the moment she was touched?
It wasn't until she had left for a certain distance that Kira Oakmoor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back in the direction she came from, her eyes were full of wariness.
"The Nine Provinces' contestant is too terrifying!"
Unaware of the minor episode happening nearby.
Having killed the Naga, Galen Yu heard a prompt in his ear.
[CONGRATULATIONS TO GALEN YU OF THE NINE PROVINCES NATION FOR SUCCESSFULLY KILLING THE MICRO-CHUNK LORD, NAGA!]
[FIRST KILL OF A MICRO-CHUNK CREATURE, CHUNK SCORE +2!]
[TRIGGERED SPECIAL REWARD: BODY OF STEVE. NEW RESOURCES ADDED TO THE CHUNK: COPPER BLOCKS AND PUMPKINS!]
[TRIGGERED NATIONAL FORTUNE REWARD: FOOD PRODUCTION AND GROWTH SPEED INCREASED BY 20%, PHYSICAL CONSTITUTION INCREASED BY +10%, AND LIFESPAN INCREASED BY 10%.]
The moment the voice resonated.
In the fields, a farmer suddenly looked up, staring in surprise at the rice in front of him.
"This rice has grown?!"
Just like in the block world, the rice grew a size larger in the blink of an eye, and every grain was large and full, its whole body transparent as jade!
At the same time, in a certain household.
"Father! You died so miserably!"
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline was weeping bitterly in front of an old man on a bed.
The old man seemed to have stopped breathing, and everyone present lowered their heads in silent mourning.
Suddenly, the old man who was supposed to be dead moved his finger slightly and reopened his eyes.
"You unfilial son, who are you calling dead!"
The familiar voice made the middle-aged man stop crying, and he looked up in disbelief.
The father was sitting up in bed, looking even younger than before.
"Father? You're alive?"
After a moment of daze, he looked out the window at the sky.
"It's the Great God Galen Yu, Father!"
The lifespan reward was even more high-level than constitution and health; it could almost be called a miracle of resurrection!
Parting was originally a somber affair, but under the successive rewards triggered by Galen Yu.
Similar events became more and more frequent, and tragedies were saved one after another.
The name of Galen Yu gradually spread and was praised in every corner!
