I'll just say it out just this once. The Nebula Blaze gauntlets and greaves are amazing! Every punch I swing causes nothing but destruction and pink explosions and every kick or stomp that I cause creates moon slices and fissures, respectively. Despite the powerful attacks that I deliver, protecting a while group against a sea of black mobs isn't really easy.

I looked down on the bottom right corner of my screen to see a progress bar that wasn't there before and displaying its progress at 15%.

"No wonder why it's a little tricky. It's an event!" I said to myself.

As much as I want to finish this whole event as quick as possible just by whipping out the Last Prism and blasting the whole area, I want to play around with the Nebula Blaze a little longer. More Grimm mobs closed in on us, making it much more difficult for me to multitask between taking them out and making sure that the group of civilians are protected.

A foreign gunshot reached my headphones and I looked behind me to see Velvet holding out a holographic gun that she probably formed just like the one she had before. She had just taken down one Grimm mob and was continuously firing her weapon. With so many Grimm mobs around us, accuracy isn't really important. While she covered the area behind me, I focused on clearing out the area in front of me.

Scrolling through my inventory, I landed on my Razorblade Typhoon. Clicking a few times to send out five discs of water, I re-equipped my Nebula Blaze gauntlets and greaves and charged along side with my water discs. My side was cleared out pretty quickly with the help of the water discs. Perfect timing too as the last of the Grimm mobs in my area died, my discs disappeared.

Now, on to the other side of the are-

"AAAAAAAH!"

I whipped my head around, quickly locking on to the source of the scream. Velvet was being pinned down by a Beowulf mob while the helpless civilians were slowly getting encircled.

"Oi! Back off from Velvet!" I shouted.

Flaring my Nebula Mantle, I dashed towards the Beowulf that was pinning Velvet down. I held on my left mouse button and I pulled my arm back, the gauntlet glowed a bright pink, catching the Beowulf's attention before getting punched by me.

Two things happened.

The Beowulf died instantly and the second are my eyes being blinded by the sudden pink brightness coming from my screen. I squinted my eyes, trying to get an idea as to what the fuck just happened. First thing I noticed is my previously full mana now empty, then as the pink light slowly died down, I am shown something that made me drop my jaw.

"Ho-ly shit"

The area in front of me is nothing more than scorched ground. Pink flames were littered here and there, the only evidence that told anyone that might stumble upon this place that something destructive happened. The walls of every structure that faced my attack were also scorched, windows glowing bring and half molten from the sheer heat, the other side of every structure remained untouched, keeping anybody or anything hiding behind each structure safe.

Grimm Invasion

100%

I guess that's the end of that event. I looked around for any remaining mobs but fortunately there were none. My screen faded to black, telling me that a cutscene is about to happen.

I scanned the area for a second time before easing up. Turning around, multiple sets of eyes were bearing down accompanied by lowered jaws. Ignoring the blatant staring, I walked up to the group of civilians. Their natural reaction to my approach was move together and step back, like a flock of sheep being herded by a dog. Velvet on the other hand couldn't move along with them due to the bruised leg.

Walking up to the wounded bunny girl, I kneeled to her eye level. Fearful eyes only overtaken by curiosity looked into mine. A notification popped up.

Heal Velvet Scarlatina?

(YES) (NO)

Moving my mouse to the 'yes' option, I reached inside of my mantle, took out a Super Healing Potion and handed it to Velvet. She looked confused, wondering whether she should take the potion or not. One nudge was all that it took for her to be convinced to take the potion. Still rather worried about the item on her hands, she sheepishly looked at me, wondering that to do with it.

"Drink it."

She looked conflicted at the moment before she closed her eyes and drank the whole potion. Once the whole bottle was finished, she kept her eyes closed the entire time, worried and wondering if there were any after-effects from the drink. She opened one eye and followed another, she then looked at me, confused as to what the purpose of that drink was for. I pointed to her leg and she followed my finger.

Eyes widening when she noticed that her leg was missing a bruised spot, she twisted her leg in multiple angles, trying to see if the pain was still there but to her fortunate surprise there wasn't any. With her injury fixed, that should surely earn some trust with the group. Looking up from Velvet, I was met yet again gawking stares.

One of the civilians slowly pointed to Velvet's leg. "How…?"

A. "A Super Healing potion. The strongest potion in the universe."

B. "That was a Super Healing Potion. A potion capable of regenerating missing limbs."

C. Stay quiet

D. "I gave her a poison that heals! Now watch as she slowly gets better!"

Option A

"A Super Healing Potion. The strongest potion in the universe."

They gave me sceptical looks, but their suspicions were minimised when they all watch Velvet stand up from where she was sitting down. Turning around, I met Velvet's timid form. Her frame was shifty, and she looked like she wanted to say something. Staying quiet the whole time, I allowed her to say that she wanted to say.

"Um… thank you for that." She said as meekly as she could.

Oh my god… she is just absolutely adorable!

Alright, I'm getting side-tracked here. I need to find out how to save this group. I'd say that the best solution would be to create a building that can house all of them. However, due to the number of destroyed or ransacked buildings courtesy of the Grimm mob types, tons of debris were scattered around, making it hard for anyone to build anything around here. It shouldn't be hard for me though.

Opening my inventory, I navigated to the build menu and a list of buildings came up, showing what materials are needed and how much materials should I take. There were plenty of buildings that the menu showed; from simple wooden walls to adamantium roofs. Of course, if I build something from scratch it would surely turn into something that isn't liveable – the NPCs in my wooden apartment complex can attest to that – bypassing all of that stuff, I went to the pre-set buildings.

Wow, even the pre-set buildings offer a lot! Let see here…


After a few minutes of looking through all twenty pages of pre-set buildings, I've picked some interesting ones that also factors in their current situation. The problem would be the resources. A problem that shouldn't take too long to solve considering that most of the materials required to build whatever I needed involved vanilla Terraria items.

After the Journey's End update came out, it's quite a bummer to know that the duplication glitch doesn't work anymore. However, I will not let something like that hinder me! For there is another way to cheat myself some of these items!


Pressing the escape key on my keyboard, I left the world and closed Terraria. Opening up my Google Chrome, I typed in the name of the website that I frequent to whenever I needed any items that I'm too lazy to grind due to their low drop rates or the tediousness of farming said items.

Terrasavr

Going through the whole process of getting the items that I needed – mostly building blocks with some Eternia summoner staffs. I downloaded the new character file did the whole process of replacing my old character file with the new one. Satisfied, I reopened Terraria and came back to the same world.


With the resources in my inventory, I began building what I had in mind. To preface, what I want to build revolves around security and living space. Hence why I'm building an entire apartment complex guarded by some sentry summons that you can get from the Tavern keep. You heard me right, you can have the option of building the Eternia sentry summons rather than summoned. That being said, I've decided to have a three layered defence system for the apartment complex.

The first layer is filled with Explosive Traps, making it difficult for any mobs to even gain an inch. The second defensive layer is littered with Lightning Aura sentries and Flameburst Tower sentries. These two make an efficient combination due to the Lightning Aura sentries' ability to ignore a portion of the enemy's armour and combine it with the Flameburst Tower's splash damage. And for the last line of defence is the line of Ballista that can be used to either snipe further enemies or act as an anti-air sentry.

Based on the mobs around here and how weak they are, I'd say this place is the safest to be. I am quite confident that nothing will get past my robust defences. That being said, I looked around the area for a good spot to put down the apartment complex. Due to how dense Vacuo is, it made it difficult for me to find a good spot.

"Alright, this is taking a while, why find space when you can just create one!" I said to myself.

Taking out my Nebula Pickaxe, I started flattening the area. Using my pickaxe reminds me so much of Minecraft, the only difference being that instead of removing one block, I remove an entire street. The familiar sound of destroyed blocks entering my inventory played through my headphones. In continued to do this until the space I needed was big enough for my taste. Nodding to myself, I opened the build menu and started the construction.

Large Apartment Complex: "You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door!" Can fit up to 200 people.

Stone Slab: 999/400

Stone Slab Wall: 999/800

Door: 999/200

Table: 999/200

Chair: 999/200

A green highlight of the building covered my vision, telling me that it can be placed here. Looking for a good spot on the open area that I've created, I plopped it down. The green highlight of the apartment complex turned to blue and my body started releasing the blocks that were required. I watched with rapt attention as the highlights get filled in with blocks and furniture and after a few seconds, the building is now complete.

With the building completed, it's time to create the defensive lines. Taking out all of the Eternia related sentry staffs, I placed one Explosive Trap down using the Explosive Trap Staff. I looked at the Explosive and noticed that I can interact with it

Unsummon sentry

Convert to a permanent sentry

This is what I meant when I said these things could be built. Choosing the second option another prompt window opened up.

Are you sure you want to make this sentry permanent? This will consume 20 points of Mana

(YES) (NO)

I chose the 'yes' option.


After some time of repeating the same process over and over again, I've finished creating the three layers of defence that I had desired when I hear a notification ping go off. Looking to the lower right area of my vision, I noticed that there is an icon that I've never seen before. Perhaps something that came along with the mod's update to Journey's End? Opening that icon, I am greeted with an image of Amber akin to that of a profile picture you'd see in social media platforms. Beside her image are three bars. While the two out of three of that bars are recognizable to me, the third one is a complete mystery. One thing all of these bars have in common though is that they're all dangerously low. Underneath the bars that display her health, mana and the unknown third variable is a short phrase.

Fighting Eater of Worlds.

Are you kidding me? She's literally dying to the Eater of Worlds? Didn't I give her a Meteor Staff buff? No matter, while I know that an NPC dying is pretty normal in vanilla Terraria – since they can always respawn – something tells me that I should try my best to keep her alive. Selecting her icon once more, a window popped up giving me a more detailed display of her current situation and also giving me a good view of her inventory.

"So, I can give and take some items from her as well." I muttered.

Thoughts of using her as a portable and interactable chest aside, there were other things that I can do besides use her for storing items that I'm too lazy to sort. Understanding her dire situation, I want to see how much help I can be of use despite being far away from her.

Moving my cursor to my inventory, I took some Super Mana Potions and plopped it inside of Amber's inventory. Fumbling around with my keyboard for a few seconds, I noticed the cursor changed to '. . .' when I press the Alt key. I got even more curious and I combined the Alt key with the left click of my mouse and I noticed the 10 Super Mana Potions that I gave her reduced by one point, the bar which also represented her mana capacity was also filled instantly.

"Alright, that's interesting." I mumbled to myself.

Moving my cursor back to my inventory, I grabbed my Last Prism and dropped it in her inventory. Pressing the same key combination, a window popped out asking me a question:

Swap Meteor Staff with Last Prism?

(YES) (NO)

I raised my eyebrow in curiosity and interest. I chose the 'Yes' option.

Immediately after choosing that option, I could see her mana deplete from 200 to 0 really quick. At the same time, a purple text on the bottom left of my screen popped up.

Eater of Worlds has been defeated

"Well, that answers that question." I said to myself, knowing where her 200 mana went.

Looking below her character icon, I noticed that she has a status effect. I hovered my cursor over the status and read it.

Unconscious

You are unconscious, you are unable to do any action until you regain consciousness.

That debuff status could spell bad for her. I should finish up here and get there as quick as I can. I closed my inventory and turned around to address Velvet only to see her staring past me, stunned.


"What's the matter?" I asked her.

Looking behind me, I finally know what she was gawking at. Over the horizon and the destroyed walls of Vacuo, a straight beam of light pierced the sky. Knowing where that comes from, my mouth stretched a smile.

"Wh-What the hell is that?" She asked with a shivering tone.

Returning my attention to Velvet, I interacted with her.

A. "That is my companion."

B. "The workings of my apprentice."

C. "I guess she isn't dead-weight after all."

D. "Oooh! Pretty light!"

Option B

"The workings of my apprentice." I said before changing the subject. "That building is the safest place in Vacuo right now." I pointed to the building I've created. "I suggest you get in there as soon as possible."

It looked like she wanted to say something, but she was a little too late as I flared out my Nebula Mantle and lifted off. Looking over to the direction where Amber fired off my Last Prism, I zoomed across the sky, breaking the sound barrier in the process.


A/N: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHHH FINALLY FINISHED!

With Sir BoinkGeminid's perspective done, it's time for the final chapter for the Eater of World's arc! And that chapter would be… hehe if I told you, that would be spoilers now would it? I mean, if you follow Sir BoinkGeminid's thoughts, you could get an idea of what's in store for the next chapter. Also, a more in-depth explanation of Amber losing consciousness.

While Amber may have ascended, understand that it's still her first time using her new body. Add on the fact that she drank a freaking Super Mana Potion! If you know the crafting recipe of said potion, I'm sure you can understand why… SHE SWALLOWED CRYSTAL SHARDS, A UNICORN'S HORN, AND A FREAKIN' STAR! Not to mention, the potion was an upgrade from the Greater Mana Potion so there's also that to consider.

The science behind my (Re-)logic behind, I hope you all enjoyed this latest chapter. Apologies for the long absence, procrastination is a dear friend of mine and I kind of lost interest for a while. After replaying Terraria for the nth time however, my interest has rekindled. Though my update schedule is still an unknown.

Also, did anyone catch the Spiderman reference? If you did, I will give you a cookie!
