Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

While everyone was trying to process what had happened and calm down once things seemed to have finally ended, out of nowhere, a massive sea of demonic miasma emerged, Planta quickly realized it came from the Wizard Tower!

Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

This only meant one thing, that when they finally stopped the Demonic Formation and therefore destroyed the Demonic Formation, something within it was also freed.

And from what she could tell, it was the souls of all the people and demons used for the formation to even exist, something that ended up being created as a byproduct of everything being screwed over forcefully.

And what’s worse, although Titan managed to rescue Planta and the rest that were close by, the Miasma spread everywhere, and eventually, it splashed into the area where they were before. The crystals left by Merlinus’ Demonic Crown, which were also containing his soul, were devoured, instantly assimilated into the monstrosity.

FLUOSH!

And in that moment, as the thing consumed and dissolved the crystals into its body, it quickly felt an immense surge of power, rays of red light emerged from its entire body, as countless faces surged from the mud, screaming in agony.

“The Demon… King…!”

One of these faces started screaming some words, with a voice everyone recognized… Planta and her entire party’s faces distorted already in utter disbelief and anger, frustration, and above all… exhaustion.

The faces started devouring one another across the monstrosity’s body, constantly growing new arms and legs, the entire thing being as huge as hundreds of meters!

RUMBLE!

Until finally, one face resembling an old man with a long beard devoured the rest, remaining as the sole consciousness, spreading its dark and demonic energies everywhere.

“I MUST BECOME… THE DEMON KING!”

With a loud scream, the rest of his miasmic body quickly took form and shape, resembling a giant humanoid made of slowly melting miasmic mud, covered with demonic flames.

It was unable to take a more solid form, this entire being was made out of pure waste energy and distorted, agonizing souls after all.

But even then, this thing tried to remain alive, this man…

No, this monster among monsters!

“Merlinus!”

Planta gritted her teeth, never had she felt this fury before, not even against Thanatos did she feel this much anger and fury.

Merlinus was without a doubt her worst enemy, someone she desired to not only eliminate forever, but also make him suffer if possible.

But she couldn’t have either of the two, she had to end this quickly, before his influence, and whatever he had become, were to move on into the wilderness, eventually reaching her forest!

“That bastard is back?!” Titan gasped. “Just how many times do we have to kill him?!”

“Hopefully, this’ll be the last!” Elena said, unsheathing her sword. “Mom! What do we do? Jumping there directly will make us fall into the miasma! It’s spreading everywhere… should we fly there?”

“Flying seems to be the correct answer,” Planta said. “But I’ll go first. Mark, please bring as many of these giants as you can! We must hold him back, so he doesn’t begin spreading destruction everywhere!”

“Leave it to me but… How do you plan to do this?! A-Are you going to jump or something?” Mark asked. “If you jump you’ll…!”

“Don’t worry about me,” Planta smiled. “I’ll be fine! I’ve got some trump cards I haven’t used yet…! And also… Johanna!”

She quickly called Johanna through telepathy, as the Druid heard Planta’s voice, she and the rest of the Druids were all waiting at the borders of the Kingdom, where most of the destruction never reached.

They had been hiding underground, waiting for this moment while resisting the urge to go to help everyone else fighting for their lives, the reason was simple, their purpose here, the purpose of the druids, was much different than everyone else.

“I hear you, Planta!” Johanna answered, nodding as she glanced into the distance. “I can tell there’s something going on! Is it time?!”

“Yes it’s time! Please summon her right now!” Planta said.

“Very well!” Johanna muttered. “And I thought we wouldn’t get to use her but… things have finally gotten to this point! Grandma! Uncle! It’s time!”

She quickly talked to them through Spiritual Voice, the ability of Druids to talk with one another through Spirit Links and Connections they made with one another.

“So it’s time, huh? Hohohoho… I never thought I would see this day!” Grandma Austucia laughed, walking out of her building, the swamp-like interior spreading green essence everywhere. “Everyone! It is time! Activate the Divine Spiritual Formation!”

Her words were orders, the rest of the druids spread through the city nodded, Uncle also heard, the old man that had once annoyed Planta, Augustus!

“As the representative of the Verdant Green Society, I cannot disappoint Planta anymore!” Roared the old man. “Everyone, please quickly activate your Node!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, the surrounding city began glowing bright green, as several nodes were activated in quick succession, gigantic explosions of green light erupting everywhere.

“GRRRUUUOOHHH?! WHAAAATS… THISSSSS?!”

Merlinus, whose mind had been corrupted and turned monstrous due to having to become one with this massive miasmic chimera made of so many souls, glanced into the distance. His voice was now slow and stupid, and the intelligence and sharpness of his previous self were mostly gone.

He had deteriorated tremendously mentally, but the power he gained from this new body was also incredible, even more when everything he touched rapidly began to wither, consumed by the void and corroded space.

“GRAAAHHH!”

He roared beginning to slowly move his massive, sludge-like body towards the nearest green light, attracted to it like a moth to the flames.

“It’s starting!” Planta said. “The ritual! For now, we have to distract it until it begins, only a few seconds at most…! I’m going now, Mark! Bring Camilla back to her totem and with Elena summon two more for them…!”

“Wait, Planta! I also will fight!” Said Mark. “I can’t just do things in the back while I leave you, the mother of my child, do everything on her own!”

“M-Mother of your child?!” Elena asked. “E-Eh? Hey, what’s going on here?”

“I-It’s a long story but I’m pregnant!” Planta cried. “I really didn’t want to say it right now you know?! But it’s fine, we can talk about it later!”

“I’ll have a little sibling?!” Elena fervently asked.
