Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

“For such beings… the only thing you can do is slay them for good,” said Abe no Seimei. “Because to them, their very existence is suffering. You’ll be giving him a favor, if anything. Okay, and I know what can work for you in regard to that.”

“Really?” I asked.

“Yes, but tell me what else he does,” he said.

“He can control Demonic Souls…” I said. “He’s a full demonic warlock. He has probably also turned his own body into that of a monster… And I suppose he can unleash the power of Hell and Demons.”

“I understand now,” he nodded. “Very well… Then for such a monster, we must create an ultimate counter ability, I’ll make you his nemesis, the very opposite of his existence. You will be his greatest foe and weakness.”

He quickly selected several spells after thinking it over and nodded.

“These… I can assure you that they will give you the edge you’ll need over his power to surpass him and slay him,” he said, showing me through the mirror.

And I heard the World’s Voice again.

[You have used your first [Soul Orb] to embody a small concept within your Soul.]

[You have chosen the following Spells/Physique Abilities to combine]: [Heavenly Spirit Summon] [Heavenly Light Protection] [Life and Light Chains of Restraint] [Divine Demon Sealing Ward Cube] [Terrain Dominion]

[Do you wish to combine these Spells through the power of your [Soul Orb]?]

[Once done, the Spell Runes will merge, and they will disappear from your Magic Circle.]

Yes, he had chosen those five. I had thought about it for a bit, but I decided it was worth sacrificing these Spells.

I can more or less recreate them with just raw magic casting like everyone else can now, without the instant-use assistance of an engraved spell.

Once I’ve used Spells a long time, I can more or less replicate them without any issues on my own, so I think it’s alright.

The only one that is a true sacrifice would be the Heavenly Light Protection, which is a Physique Ability actually, the first one used on these.

It helped me by protecting me from damage as an innate barrier around my body… But well, I can compensate getting stronger armor and barrier magic, also my scales are pretty good so far.

So now, let’s get to it!

I accepted, nodding.

“Looks good, Abe, let’s do this. I’ll trust you.”

“Thank you, Elayne-san, I won’t disappoint you.”

With a nod, he quickly did the same thing as before, infusing a part of his divinity, a very little part of it so it wouldn’t make my soul explode.

FLUOSH!

The Runes from my Magic Circle and then my Physique flew away, merging and spinning around, rapidly fusing with the spirit orb, which then melted.

Rapidly, it all turned into a large inscription, a huge mark within my very soul.

[You have merged the Spells into the {Soul Orb} to create a fragment of a concept and inscribe it into your soul as a [Soul Trait] based on your motivations and desires.]

[A [Soul Trait] has been successfully engraved and merged with your Soul.]

[You have permanently lost the Spells/Physique Abilities]: [Heavenly Spirit Summon] [Heavenly Light Protection] [Life and Light Chains of Restraint] [Divine Demon Sealing Ward Cube] [Terrain Dominion]

[The {Divine Essence} of a Mysterious Kami has merged with your Soul Trait, improving and modifying its structure and powers.]

[Due to the powers of this {Divine Essence} of a Mysterious Kami, the Fusion Spell: [Celestial Heavenly Sun] has also been merged into the creation.]

[You have created the [Soul Trait]: [Amaterasu-no-Kami’s Heavenly Sun Prison Pagoda]!]

“Eh? This Soul Trait has…?!”

“I imbued a bit more because I felt the divisiveness within your words,” Abe no Seimei smiled. “I’ve sprinkled there a bit of our divine empress of the sun’s blessing. It might need her approval to be used but… I already know she’ll let you. She’s always very merciful and protective with women, especially those that are priestesses like you.”

“I’m a priestess?!” I wondered.

“Aren’t you? I assumed so because you’re surrounded by spirits and nature itself seems to love you,” he laughed. “You are definitely a priestess of the spirits, nature, and life. Amaterasu-sama loves all of that.”

“I-I see…” I muttered. “I really hope I don’t get dragged into her divine realm or something!”

“Ah, well, I can’t guarantee you it won’t happen, but she definitely isn’t as permissive as me in letting mortal souls enter her Realm,” he laughed. “She is the Divine Goddess of the Sun of Japan after all, the symbol of the country as the rising sun itself. Mother of all life, nature, and everything.”

“Ooh…” I nodded. “I… well, can’t I see the description first? I feel like I’m beginning to… fade away?”

“Oh yeah, you’ll probably go back now, sure, check it as much as you want,” he nodded, showing me the Soul Trait’s description.

[Soul Trait]: [Amaterasu-no-Kami’s Heavenly Sun Prison Pagoda]

By offering bountiful amounts of Mana, Spirit Energy, and Divine Power, call forth the Divinity of the Sun of Amaterasu-no-Kami, goddess of the eternal rising sun of Japan to your aid.

Her presence will instantly materialize, becoming a giant golden prison pagoda with up to nine floors, which will stack over one another as time passes at any foe or foes you desire to “entrap” within its endless confines.

Although it might not like they had gone to another space, the more the prison pagoda’s floors stack, the greater the weight exerted upon space, making it increasingly harder to manipulate it, while constantly dealing Sunlight, Holy, and Light damage over time to the target.

This purifying pagoda cannot be destroyed, and it will remain forever as long as Mana and Spirit Energy are constantly supplied. Over time, the Mana of the foe will also begin to be burned out by Amaterasu-sama’s Divine Brilliance, making their magic power progressively weaker.

If five or more floors are stacked together, you can entrap a foe within the interior of the Prison Pagoda, and if they’re weakened enough, they can be completely sealed. The Prison Pagoda Floors can also unleash concentrations of Sunlight Energy at foes to deal damage.

Oh wow, it seems simple, but it’s definitely everything I wanted it to be!
