Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

“I have prepared these just for this occasion!” Acorn roared, as he quickly began taking out several bombs from his Inventory and launched them at the snake!

His [Acorn Throwing] Skill ended evolving into [Alchemy Throwing] Skill after he evolved enough and was able to launch bombs and other alchemy items with amazing precision and speed. Colorful red, blue, and yellow-colored bombs flew out of Acorn’s hands one after the other, bombarding the giant titanic beast with elemental attacks.

And then, acorn gathered the three elements of his Grimoire and unleashed a small storm of fire, thunder, and ice! His bombs really reminded me of Atelier games I used to play when I was younger, to think you can make elemental bombs with Alchemy really fills me with the intent to practice it more!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!

“SHAAAA! GRYYSSH!” The giant snake shook his head angrily, tanking the damage with its fury and enormous HP quantity. It seemed to be capable of easily taking this damage. Acorn’s dozens of bombs were very powerful and his magic as well thanks to his Grimoire, but even then, the beast rushed forward and Acorn quickly ran away behind a building. The snake was targeting him though, as it began to rush through the city and started to break trhgouh the buildings.

“UWAAAH! G-GET AWAY! PETRIFICATION BOMB!”

Suddenly, Acorn took out a weird bomb he had with him and threw it at the snake! The bomb had the shape of a gray stone, and when it touched the snake’s head, it suddenly exploded, covering the entire beast’s head with stone!

“GRYSHAAAHHH…!”

“Acorn, come here!” I said, mounting Belle, with Rita at my side, I grabbed Acorn with my hands and quickly brought him away. We had been running around this sector of the city to leave with the least damage possible, all while making the snake change its target by attacking it from several directions each time.

“That was a Petrification Bomb?! I didn’t knew such a thing existed.” I said with a shocked expression in my face.

“Well yeah, there’s a special Herb I found named Gorgon’s Tongue, it secretes a very deadly toxin that can cause petrification to anyone that gets into contact with it. I used it with gloves to make a special bomb, it is very rare so I only have three!” He cried, feeling heart broken he had to use one of the three Petrification Bombs.

“Did that killed it?” Asked Rita.

“No, that thing’s still alive!” I said. Easily looking at the monster’s status to find out it had its HP full, and the Petrification Status Effect had quickly been healed forcefully. The scales and skin of the beast were broken down and the monstrous creature showed us its fleshy interior, with blood pouring everywhere!

“SSHAAAA!”

The snake forcefully broke out the outer stone layer and then began to shed its skin?! It was doing just that! Apparently, it is a Skill it possess named [Skin Shed] and it allows to heal wounds and recover some HP! This damn wormy thing was healing itself now?!

Leaving an enormous amount of shed skin over the floor, which then converted itself into a dropped item named [Titan Snake Shed Skin] x1, the enormous Mid Boss began sliding towards us, most of the wounds were gone and now covered once more in lustrous scales. However, I realized that not everything was as it was shown! Snakes usually shed their skin because they need room to grow bigger, the scales yet in the way, so they slowly shed them for new ones to grow.

So usually, their skin ends up slightly exposed, and their surface become slimmer and shinier as a result. Without their old scales, they’re actually quite defenseless! With that in mind, I noticed that the Mid Boss Status had its defenses decreased by -50% for 5 minutes! Shedding Skin restored roughly 20% of its HP, but decreased his DEF a lot! Is this the moment we need to attack it with everything we got? But it has suddenly become faster as a result as well, and braver too, so it’s definitely trying to eat us up!

CLASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

Its gigantic jaws constantly closed against us, as it was trying to eat us whole! Belle and Nightmare (Rita named her Summon like this) were pretty fast and were able to out speed the Snake thanks to my buffs and the food they ate, which enhanced their stats temporarily, but this won’t last forever either!

“Achlys! Is your attack ready?!” I asked. .

“Yeah…! I’ll shot it now!” Rira cried, thankfully she had it ready! She had been gathering Malice Essence from the entire city since we got inside, so her Malice Orb had grown several meters big. She quickly called it to the tip of her staff and then pointed her arm at the giant snake sliding towards us.

“Abyssal Underworld Gate!”

Wait, that’s a new Spell!

TRUUUMMM…!

Suddenly, all the Malice and Mana Rita had concentrated into the floor right before the snake, quickly making it stop as an enormous black gate emerged. It looked like a portal right to the underworld! The gigantic gate erected up to almost 30 meters, so big it almost covered the entire face of the titanic snake. The entire thing emanated an enormous aura of pure obscure darkness and had an eerie phantasmal presence.

CREAAAK…!

The enormous gate opened, as an eternal abyss of pure darkness emerged from within, and then, countless of tentacles with red eyes attached to them began to attack the snake, coiling around its entire body! Woah, w-what the heck is going on?! This was never something I expected Rita to be able to conjure… But the Class she choose, that Dark Magic she has, it has a special power with Malice. These overpowered spells can only be used rarely when there’s a ton of Malice accumulated in the Malice Orb that Rita had, and now, she was unleashing this ultimate spell!

“GRYYYSSHAAAAA!”

The titanic snake screamed in pure horror and fear, as the tentacles entangled his entire body and began dragging him into the gates of the underworld, each second that it was being touched by those tentacles, it was receiving constant damage to his HP, and his MP was being drained rapidly as well!
