Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

Elayne’s Spiritual Senses flared up, a split of a second after she pushed Kalma to her limits, the Goddess of Decay attacked her. Not employing her bony incarnation, but her very Divine Soul this time. From within her Incarnation, a giant black scythe materialized. Similar in form and shape to the Demon King of Death’s own Scythe. It was as if he had gifted her a lesser version of it as part of their “deal”. Employing it with her bare divine soul, a gigantic wave of all-consuming Decay, Rot, and Death rushed towards Elayne.

SLAAASH!

It was like an endless enshrouding wave of darkness. Elayne had fought against it many times. Back then when they defeated Fafnir and then Thanatos appeared. But back then, she had all the stats, items, and skills of her Avatar.

“Just like Thanatos attack… I can’t afford to take this head-on…!”

Right now, she was on the flesh. She instinctively knew, a single strike from this and she would definitely die. However, running away wasn’t an option either. If she ran, the strike would hit the dozens of unconscious people she had been protecting using her roots and Blackie’s shadows. 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚

“But if I don’t, the people behind me will die.”

Without thinking it twice, she decided to employ her shield, blessed by Gaia herself. This was the only artifact she could rely on right now! Her golden shield absorbed the rest of her Mana and everything else she had, flaring with blazing golden flames and heavenly light.

“[Life Dragon’s Shield]!”

Activating the evolved Ability of her blessed shield, an overwhelmingly powerful eruption of power surged from within, forming into the shape of a massive shield made of light and golden flames. At the front, there was a gigantic golden dragon head, opening its massive jaws. The slashing wave of Death was greeted by the purity of Life.

BOOOMM!!

An explosion of light and darkness, life and death erupted. Elayne’s roots created a dome. Managing to absorb most of the damage from spreading into the building and making it collapse. Her shield resisted the immense attack barely, but she was being constantly pushed back with each second. The scythe didn’t stop, constantly pushing forwards.

“Don’t resist! This is it, young goddess.” Kalma spoke arrogantly. “To think someone like you ever considered clashing against a God, you’re nothing but a steppingstone. I will govern all of Finland and then Europe! And then the new World over here, America! I will become the one and only Goddess of Death! Hahaha!”

As she drowned on her own vainglory, Elayne realized her shield of light was growing larger and larger. The power it absorbed began to swell within it, about to bust at any moment. She smiled, glancing at the Goddess of Death one last time and addressing to her.

“For being a goddess, you possess the personality of a child. You need to be scolded, Kalma!”

RUMBLE!

“ROOOOAARR!”

The shield erupted with tremendous power. A burst of golden flames and heavenly light exploded out of it. The shape of a giant golden dragon emerged, clashing against Kalma’s scythe and completely destroying it into pieces. The mighty roar of the Yggdragon signifying he defeat, as it rushed towards her, opening its gigantic jaws and destroying her veil of divinity. Bite through bite, her entire bone body was annihilated, and her divine soul wounded with an agonizing bite!

BOOOMMM!!

“UUUAAAGGHH!”

Screaming like she had never done before. The Goddess of Decay succumbed. Her Incarnation instantly falling into a pile of ashes and burnt bones. Her soul squirming in agony before unsummoning herself, painfully burning with the holy light and golden flames of the Yggdragon.

“Y-YOUUU…! How… dare youuu…!”

While screaming and crying, the Goddess of Decay swiftly disappeared. Elayne dropped half-dead into the floor, gasping for air. Her Mana was beginning to slowly regenerate, but she was already at her very limits. She tried taking out a potion from her inventory, but she had little mana, so the inventory wasn’t able to activate right away. The Domain surrounding her was burned and destroyed by Decay, so she was unable to easily regenerate her energies. This was perhaps one of the fights that pushed her the most to her limits.

CRAAASH!

“Ah…! Oh, Mark!”

Elayne noticed that Mark gave the finishing blow to Aria, while a fortress of flames protected the two old Druids fighting that were fighting her before they arrived. His gigantic sword pierced through Aria’s barrier of decaying wood and burned her entire body. She screamed in agony and despair in a similar fashion to her goddess.

“They’re truly quite alike…”

Aria cried, quickly turning into a mass of black spores and escaping. “I’ll be back… This isn’t the last of us, Blighters! You damned Druids… I will make sure to burn all of this nature! We will not stop!” Mark tried to stop her, firing a barrage of blazing feathers, but she was faster, disappearing by escaping from a broken window. The flames unable to catch her.

“Dammit…!” Mark tried to chase after her, but he knew he couldn’t. There were still a swarm of bone beasts barely being held by Nightmare Skeletons summoned by Morpheus. And there was someone else here. Another hostile presence he couldn’t overlook. “Elayne, it’s not over! I sense something… Someone somewhere!”

Elayne heard Mark’s words. Her senses were dizzy and fuzzy after such an intense fight, but as she regained her Mana. They quickly activated again. They came accompanied with the scream of the Great Spirit telling her to dodge something.

“Elayne! Quickly! Dodge!”

In the last second, Elayne rolled several meters back from where she was. A gigantic blazing sword covered on infernal and demonic flames slashed through the empty air. It aimed to decapitate her with a single swipe. Elayne’s eyes widened. Her shield quickly placing itself in front of her as she blocked two more incoming attacks. Explosions of demonic flames threatening to burn her entirely with even more intensity than the Decay of Kalma.

CLAASH! CLAASH!

“This is… A Demon!”

Elayne’s wings regrew from her back once she regained enough Mana, leaping into the air and escaping the constant barrage of attacks. She was finally able to see who was attacking her. A muscular man wearing sunglasses, smiling wickedly at her. Muscular and intimidating, resting a giant blazing sword on his shoulders.

“Oi, where do you think you’re going?” He laughed, leaping to catch her.
