Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

While we were relaxing in the hot springs, I had the genius idea of extracting some water for my own research! We could either sell it or even use it as an ingredient to make stronger potions than ever before. However, before we could even enjoy ourselves a bit more of rest, something completely crazy happened.

A monster showed up!

SPLAAAASH!

“Uwaaaah!”

Rita cried in horror at what was happening, quickly being blown away by the enormous waves of water coming out as the monster swam from the bottom of the small underground lake. I quickly swam away, while Belle and Loki kept walking near me around the lake.

“W-What’s happening?!” Cried Rita.

“A monster! Is this a hidden boss?” I wondered.

“I-I told you! That’s… another boss! The Giant Orange Mushroom was just a small mini boss but this thing is… a true mini boss!” Said the guide. “T-That’s…!”

The creature that emerged from the lake wasn’t even a mushroom, it was a long and coiling serpent-like creature, a Water Serpent? I looked into its status, and what I saw was…

[A Mini Boss has showed up!]

[The [Hot Spring Lake Snake: Lv 13] has been awakened!]

“L-Level 13?!” I asked in shock.

“A-And that’s not all… That thing has dragon blood on him, that’s a Lesser Dragon! How come such a thing is inside a beginner dungeon? Perhaps a joke from the developers?” Wondered the guide. “Well, it was really hidden so maybe it wasn’t intended to be found so easily…”

“GRYYYSSSHAAAAAAA!”

The enormous Lake Serpent roared, his scales were all silver-colored, it looked as if it was completely covered in an armor! How can we even defeat this thing? I… Oh, right! I got the Legendary Warrior Title; it increases damage against Boss-type monsters… Maybe I got a chance? But Rita is here! I have to protect her. If she dies the entire mission will be ruined.

“That thing looks dangerous…” Said Rita, looking at me while swallowing saliva.

“Come on, don’t get like that, Rita, You’re the bravest of the two, aren’t you? Now that we are in a game you’re acting all cowardly!” I said. “Get in the mood like you did when you beat up those mushrooms!”

“R-Right… How come the little Elayne is acting more brave than me?!” Roared Rita. “Bring it no, oversized worm!”

“GRYYYAARR!”

The enormous creature suddenly began to inflate his throat for some reason, and it grew as big as a frog when they croak… Just what was it doing?!

“D-Damn it! Elayne, set up a barrier, it is preparing a boiling water attack!” Said the guide. ．

“Ah! O-On it!” I said. “Wood Shield! Wood Shield! WOOD SHIELD!”

TRUUUM!

TRUUUM!

TRUUUM!

Three large wood shields emerged before the two of us, as the beast just managed to get his breath right after I conjured our protection.

SPLAAAAASH!!!

An enormous quantity of boiling water hit the shields, breaking two of them on the spot, while the third one was barely resisting the damage, it was already cracking, in fact! Damn it… WOOD SHIELD again!

TRUUUM…!

I continuously conjured the spell, as three more wood shields showed up, protecting us completely from damage, as the snake suddenly felt tired after unleashing such a giant attack, gasping for air.

Is this the part where we can hit it before it goes into attacking mode again? I guess even bosses got some sort of mechanics, but we must abuse this opening at all costs.

“Rita, prepare your magic, the strongest attack you can!” I said.

“Okay!” Rita roared, as she began to gather Negative and Malice energies from the environment. The giant snake was emanating a dark aura of it, so she absorbed it and began to gather it in several spheres around her slowly.

Meanwhile, I attempted to call the Spirits, but this area barely had any Dragon Veins other than Water Spirits, which I cannot summon yet unless I increase the level of the Spirit Magic Skill, but each level the spells cost more and more Mana, there’s now way I’ll have enough mana to summon these spirits even if I level up the Spirit Magic Skill. I have to do with what I have right now. There were barely any Dragon Veins, but it wasn’t as if there was none, I decided to just mass summon all the small Dragon Veins of Earth and Fire right away!

“Dragon Vein Detection! Land Spirit Call! Sunlight Spirit Call! Spirit Enhancement!”

FLAAAASH!

I hit the ground with my staff as if I were a mighty magician, using Dragon Vein Detection to accurately detect each Dragon Vein in the vicinity, there were a small handful, and they were incredibly thin as well! I quickly decided to summon anyways, and small Land Spirits and Sunlight Spirits quickly materialized one by one.

“Please, lend me a hand, you guys!” I cried, using Spirit Enhancement to increase their power. There was only around 6 of them, 4 Land Spirits and 2 Sunlight Spirits, and they were all the smallest of their type.

“FOOO!”

The spirits responded to my call magically, as the power of my Mana flowed towards them. Instead of attacking the Lake Snake from all sides, they suddenly… unified?! They began to combine together into a big one! Wow… this is possible?

TRUUUUMMM…!

“GRUUUOH!”

[Spirit Combination success!]

[You have combined Land Spirits and Sunlight Spirits, summoning the legendary Magma Spirit Titan!]

“Whaaaaat?!”

While the Lake Spirit was around 40 meters big, the Magma Spirit Titan was around 27 meters, but it was big enough to stop the giant snake from moving forwards. Using his enormous arms covered with magma, he began hitting the creature strongly several times over!

CLASH!

“GRYYSHAAA!”

BOOM!

“GRUUOH!

CRASH!

The two giants battled against one another, but my spirits were weakening, each hit they unleashed made them smaller, and the snake began to coil around their body and started to crack them into pieces…!

CRAAACK!

“Nooo! Gone so soon?!” I cried, finding that the titan was torn apart in an instant after being summoned.

“Gryshaaa…!”

However, the snake was very weakened, and his HP was already down to half its total amount!

“I am ready now…!”

And just in time, Rita unleashed a blast of Dark Beams.
