Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Hermes was sure he had destroyed Mark’s body before he could fully regenerate, he had broken him to smithereens, completely! And even if some pieces of him were left, they were decaying and rusting away.

Yet…

YET!

He was right behind him, and now made of just flames. There was nothing solid within him, he was a being made of pure spiritual fire. Mark had simply let behind his “shell” and become an entity of flames.

And not just any, he was a Phoenix. His evolution allowed him to claim such a thing. Having absorbed and fused with a mighty Phoenix Spirit and also using the materials of a Phoenix, he became somewhat of one.

And through leveling and developing this power, and acquiring a myriad of mighty Skills, he could proudly claim to be one. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Especially with the secondary effect of his Divine Skill [Divine Black Metal Phoenix Sentinel Transformation]!

Its primary and active effect was to transform his body and gain a metallic body from his wood’s metalizing itself.

But this… It was a step beyond.

A unique ability within the Skill that only triggers when his HP reaches zero.

{Blazing Rebirth}!

“A Phoenix?!” The Ancient Elf screamed. “What are you talking about?! Weren’t you some sort of Majin of the Wood Tribe?!”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Mark roared, clashing against Hermes with lightning speed. His flames exploded all around Hermes body, as he kept hugging him tightly. The elf’s armor melted rapidly, the flames burning his skin and flesh. The agony he felt was excruciating!

BAAAM!

“ARRGH! G-Get away from me!”

Hermes screamed, as he used his Time Magic to regress the time of his wounds before they were burned, barely managing to regenerate rapidly. He kept trying to get away, but Mark was not letting go of him, even as his arms were being stretched several meters.

“How did you even revive?! It doesn’t make any sense! Your life force was completely gone!”

“I came back like a Phoenix, I told you!”

{Blazing Rebirth} allowed Mark to not only revive after his health points reaches zero, but also to receive a boost to all his stats based on all the total HP he lost before rebirth multiplied by two for the next ten minutes.

And above all, for that very time frame, his entire body became completely made of the spiritual flames of a phoenix, alongside all the spiritual bodies of his Beast Totem Spirits, unified into a giant, Blazing Spirit Phoenix Giant.

“T-That’s bullshit!”

Hermes didn’t want to believe Mark’s words, as he had only heard legends about Phoenixes, legendary divine beasts that only lived within the Divine Realm of Flames. However, the truth was right in front of his eyes.

Mark’s blazing body quickly took an even more Phoenix-like form, grabbing him with his talons and flying high into the skies, before rushing down, about to pummel him down with an explosive blow.

“How about this for bullshit?!”

“STOP!”

Hermes attempted to free himself, using his Time Decay and covering Mark completely with it. His arms and legs only melted away the moment they touched his endlessly blazing body, Time Decay had little to no effect on his endlessly burning flames.

“Nothing… works?!”

“Burn!”

BOOOMMM!!!

An explosion of flames engulfed Hermes completely. His Time Regeneration Abilities could only extend so far, as his exoskeleton burned to a crisp and then his body.

“Gryyyaaggh! N-No… stop! STOP! I can’t die here! I have so many ambitions!”

Hermes desperately tried all kinds of magics, yet compared to Elbedo, he had little physical strength to compare with Mark, the blazing sentinel easily overpowering him!

“I don’t care about your ambitions.”

“Uuaaggh!”

Mark then used his blazing sword to cut through his neck, beheading him on the spot, and then splattering his burnt head into pieces mercilessly.

“Hahhh…” Mark’s blazing eyes were quickly set on the two Divine Beasts. “Planta, I’m going to help everyone else, they’re still struggling a lot!”

“Got it!” Planta nodded. “Let us handle the rest!”

At the same time, Cecilia found herself surrounded. She was constantly trying to get to Mercedes at the very least, to inject her with the Demon Knife. But everything was going downhill really fast. Elbedo died, and now Hermes. The only one left of the three was her!

“Mother! Please snap out of it! Mom!” And Brisingra kept trying to help Mercedes who was constantly screaming, her surroundings growing distorted.

“Uuggh…! M-My head! Aaaagh! What am I? Where am I?! Am I truly… Am I Mercedes?!” She kept screaming, ignoring the intense battles that happened around her.

“Brisingra, stay away from her!” Said Planta, rushing to grab the girl before a crack in space where to suck her inside.

“Uwah!” Brisingra screamed as she was grabbed by one of Elayne’s arms, which stretched like a giant vine and grabbed her away, Planta still on her draconic form.

“Lady Planta! My mother…! What is happening to her?!”

Planta sighed as she looked at Brisingra panicking. If it wasn’t because she ended telling her that she was her daughter and all of that information, this might have been prevented.

But it wasn’t as she could help it, after all, it was understandable the girl would react in such a way after finally meeting her mother. She thought that, if she were undergoing the same situation as her, she might have done the same.

“Brisingra, remember that this is a Scenario, your mother has sadly passed away many years ago.” Planta told the girl, looking into her eyes. “Please, keep yourself calm and don’t lose your mind. I know it hurts, and I know you wanted to meet her, to talk to her, and so on… But still.”

Brisingra looked back at Cecilia fighting against Rita and Lily, the elf woman seemed much stronger at Time Magic than Hermes and had a myriad of cursed knives imbued with different demons, pushing both women constantly.

Then at the two Divine Beasts clashing against the other half of the party, the wolf and the lion were incredibly strong, and only continued becoming stronger with each passing second.

And then, at Mercedes.

As she shed a tear, she nodded.

“I understand… Please, tell me what I need to do, Lady Planta.”
