Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

The knights ran after the King once he fell to the ground, gathering around him. David had just arrived with his disciples, as he gasped once he saw the King.

“Your majesty!”

The soldiers and knights around the King were all crying, David didn’t want to think the worst, asking what had happened.

“What happened?! Hey!”

However, nobody would answer him, they remained in silence, crying, mourning…

“Y-Your majesty…!”

He reached his King, his eyes seemed closed, his face smiling, serene.

He looked even younger than before, as if he had regressed to his early twenties.

“A-Ah…! Your majesty!”

David knew what happened, as he started crying, while holding the King tightly, hugging him. To him, the King was more than just his ruler.

He was like a family to him, since he was promoted that he had lived so close to him and his family, they became his family.

He was literally Gustav’s big brother at this point, and also it felt like the King was always his uncle, and the queen his aunt.

“No…!”

He couldn’t take it anymore, as he began crying like a child, tears flowing from his eyes even more than when he had to take down his stepfather.

“Why…!”

He held onto the king’s body tightly.

“WHY?!”

His disciples glanced into the distance, the young squires that had yet to fully ascend into the Magic Knights that would protect the King.

They were all crying, unable to take onto so many losses.

“This has to end already…!”

David glared into the distance, as a gigantic wave of miasma approached, rapidly beginning to turn into something aberrant.

“Please… Planta… You’re our last hope…”

Everyone was too tired, many too wounded to fight any longer, even David himself could barely move after everything.

“I don’t want to lose more of the people I love…”

RUMBLE!

Their prayers all gathered into a single point, everyone couldn’t take it anymore, no more of this…

They clung to their last hope, even amidst this despair.

“GROOOOEEEEUUURRGGHH…!”

And the scream of a monstrosity echoed through the entire city, shaking its foundations.

“Merlinus… Just how much suffering do you have to bring us to be finally satisfied…?”

.

.

.

The Demonic Crown that Merlinus soul had possessed finally shattered into pieces, Planta and the rest finally relaxed for a moment, thinking that it was perhaps finally over.

Merlinus wasn’t coming back, and whatever remained of his soul was now crystalized and inert, they had to simply store it inside their inventory and the problem was gone.

However, there were hundreds of pieces everywhere, so it was bound to not be as easy…

“Well, now that we’re done here…” Planta muttered. “We should quickly cleanse the rest of the threats around the city. The Demonic Domain is gone but there are still foes to defeat…”

“I think there were a lot of casualties…” Titan said, looking into the distance. “We might’ve won, but… the price was huge.”

“That is how war is, there were always going to be casualties when battling against such a gigantic and powerful foe as Merlinus and his immense army,” Erebus said.

“You don’t have to put it that way though…” Lily sighed.

“Don’t be mean!” Achlys said angrily. “It still a tragedy, you know?!”

“…” Erebus fell silent for a moment. “I’m sorry… I’m not accustomed about conversations like this so… I tend to not be able to speak correctly.”

“It’s okay, Erebus, you’ll learn at your own pace,” Said Planta with a slight nod. “Now let’s hurry, we have a lot to do… We must reduce the casualties as much as possible, then cleanse the area out of miasma and…! Camilla?”

Planta stopped, glancing at Camilla, who seemed slightly confused, looking into the distance.

“I heard his voice… Calling for me.”

“Camilla?”

Camilla suddenly shed a tear, and then more started coming from her eyes.

“How could this be? He…”

“…?”

Planta slowly walked to her side.

“What happened? A-Are you okay?”

Planta noticed Camilla’s hands were trembling, as her red eyes were full of sorrow, a calm sorrow.

She didn’t start crying hysterically though, Camilla was very good at keeping her composure.

But… Planta could tell, something terrible happened.

“Why…”

Camilla fell to her knees, losing all her strength and energy.

She started grasping the ground, the rocks, crushing them with her fists.

“Why…!”

Planta and the rest remained in silence as they glanced at Camilla crying.

“Camilla, let me-“

SPLAAASH!

Before Planta could extend a hand towards her, a huge tsunami of Demonic Miasma reached them, splashing everywhere, originating from the Wizard Tower.

“GROOOOEEEEUUURRGGHH…!”

And from within this mass of red and black mud-like goo, the souls of hundreds of innocents used for the Demonic Formation echoed from within it as the mass of Demonic Miasma that expanded for hundreds of meters across the city manifested eyes, mouths, heads, arms, hands, and legs.

“T-That’s…!” Camilla slowly opened her eyes wide, seeing the monstrosity rushing towards them.

RUMBLE!

“W-What the hell is that thing?!” Lily screamed in horror.

“P-Planta! Camilla! Watch out!”

Titan panicked, his powers manifesting in that moment, as the ground shattered into pieces in that very instant and a sea of flames emerged.

CRAAASH!

A titan made of black steel wood surged from the ground, rapidly flying with its massive, phoenix-like wings towards Planta and Camilla.

Titan controlled it, as it was a part of himself, a gigantic being he modeled through his new Totem Formation.

Through using its massive hands, he grabbed Planta, Camilla, and Elena and flew as high into the skies as possible, missing Erebus, but he knew he would be fine even if he was drowned on the deadliest of miasma.

And well, even if he got hurt… Titan didn’t care, unlike Planta, he hadn’t forgiven him for everything he did.

“Phew, almost didn’t made it!” Titan muttered.

“No! Wait! Merlinus fragments!” Planta panicked. “That thing will…!”

BOOOM!

As the Demonic Miasmic Monstrosity splashed into the area where they were, the crystals left by Merlinus’ Demonic Crown were devoured, instantly assimilated into the thing.

FLUOSH!

And in that moment, rays of red light surged from its entire body, as countless faces surged from the mud, screaming in agony.

“The Demon King…!”

Until finally, one face resembling an old man with a long beard devoured the rest, remaining as the sole consciousness.

“I MUST BECOME… THE DEMON KING!”
