Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Once we saw the gates leading to the Dwarven City, we felt relieved. Once we were over with this, we should probably take a break. Also I needed to go cook dinner for my daughter afterwards.

“Ah, here we are.” Jenny said. “Back to the big city- Huh?”

As we walked back to the dwarven city, we saw an enormous group of Dwarves there, all panicking, wearing armor and bringing golems… They looked scared, as if all of them had seen a ghost! What in the world is going on?

“Y-You! Did you see the dragon attacking?! Recently we saw a giant Viper Drake wreaking havoc!” Said one dwarf.

“Some said it was actually the Viper Drake Queen herself!” Said another.

“That thing is simply unstoppable… Are you alright? Did you meet with her?!” Asked a third dwarven, this time a woman.

“I remember she has taken many of the lives of the miners that wanted to continue mining these areas…” Sighed a fourth dwarf, a younger girl.

“So? Did you see that thing?!” Asked the first dwarf, panicking.

“Oh, that?” I was surprised. “Oh! Don’t worry, we killed it!” I said with a smile, summoning the giant dragon’s head in front of me out of my inventory.

FLASH!

As the gigantic head materialized in front of the dwarves, they all looked at us with eyes wide open. Many of them dropped their jaws almost to the ground. Others simply fell into their butts out of sheer shock and horror.

“EEEEEEEHHHH?!” They all screamed in unison.

“Hm? What’s wrong?” Mark wondered. “We shouldn’t had hunted her? Won’t she spawn again anyways?”

“No, I think this monster is an Unique Monster tied to some sort of storyline, so it can’t just spawn back up.” I said.

“Oh…” Mark nodded.

“I-It is more than just that! You defeated that damn thing… I just simply can’t believe it!” Said another dwarf. 𝓫𝒹ℴℴ𝓶

“W-We’ve been freed from one of the Four Great Dragons…”

“W-Woah…”

“And they’re not just Players, there’s some normal people with them too? First time I see players joining hands with us!”

“Alright, this call for celebration! Let’s go to the tavern right now! Huzzah!!!”

“HUZZAH!”

The dwarves roared in celebration, dragging us along as we were thrown in the middle of the same tavern where we found Kestrellius. And funnily enough, the man was still there once we arrived.

With his help, we were able to claim a seat with him in the tavern while we were given free food and drinks. I left the dragon’s head outside of the tavern, watched over by some Spirits, so everyone could see the proof that the beast was slain.

“You see, the reason why they’re so happy over this… Which you seem to truly not get, is that that monster was a really dangerous, terrifying dragon!” He sighed. “It was one of the Four Great Dragons, they emerged once the Black Scaled Dragon woke up, when we discovered the Dragon Nest.”

“I can tell there might be more of them.” I nodded. “But I thought they were recent?”

“No, they emerged only a few days after we discovered the Dragon Nest… Due to some stubborn guys still wanting to mine in there, they provoked those giant monsters, and we were able to see them firsthand. Much bigger, stronger, and meaner than the lesser dragons.” Sighed Kestrellius. “Many died after provoking the Viper Drake Queen in specific, the one whose territory was the closest to our city. A lot of our people had been praying every day for that monstrous thing to not attack our city… Thankfully, dragons, once they choose a territory, won’t really move out of it that much.”

“She was really strong but not invincible.” Said Acorn. “Was there really no way for you guys to fight that monster? What about other Players that came here?”

“No… Those cowardly bastards just ran away. Nobody was high level enough to even scratch that monster. Even between our own warriors, the strongest are Level 100, even with their best skills and golems… they were all crushed, some died, others barely managed to escape.” Kestrellius sighed. “No matter how many times we tried, we couldn’t defeat her… So whenever we heard her roars and screams, we would panic, and get all scared. Ugh, pathetic, right?”

“Not really, I can understand that pain.” Nieve sighed. “It must have been hard. To be honest, without Lady Planta here, I don’t know if we could had been able to do it either. Her Magic and Support is superb, offering constant healing and buff to all our stats. The only reason we were able to fell such a fearsome beast was thanks to her abilities.”

“Y-You’re giving me a bit too much credit, Nieve.” I sighed. “It was all thanks to everybody’s efforts! Without you to be there, I don’t think I could had been able to solo that thing… After all, even my victory against the Demon King back then was thanks to my friend’s help, and so has been the battles so far even in… well, the other side. I might be quite strong myself, but I can’t imagine fighting these powerful foes without them at my side.”

“Aww, you’re going to make me cry!” Jenny sobbed, while eating a big, fried chicken leg. “Nom, nom…”

“Actually, I guess she’s right.” Rita smiled. “Without all of our combined efforts, it wouldn’t had been possible! Yeah her support and buffs help a lot, but it is the combination of everything that did it.”

“Hahaha, I guess there’s some truth in that.” Mark smiled. “Though, I just can’t bring myself to put Planta’s efforts below ours. Ah, well, Jenny was also surprisingly useful. Her ability to absorb the venomous substances that Dragon Queen exuded was a key to our victory.”

“Oooh, I see… So even that Slime worked. We’ve never seen a Slime Player before, they’re often just monsters.” Laughed Kestrellius laughed. “But I can tell that maybe that’s what we were missing, a combination of several powers, magics, and races to fully defeat those threats…”

Suddenly, some soldiers appeared at our side.

“Are you the ones that slayed the Viper Drake Queen? The King of Dwarves is asking for a meeting.”

Wait, what?!
