Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Once I finished the shields, I sighed in relief, cleaning the sweat off my forehead. It was a tough ten minutes, but I managed to do this at a speedrun time.

What’s more, as I heard the World’s Voice about the upgrades, the shields had become much better than I expected.

[You have successfully Reforged many [Roughly Made Monster Shields (D Rank Magic Shields)] using your Domain’s Abilities and several powerful Materials.]

[The many [Roughly Made Monster Shields (D Rank Magic Shields)] have been reforged into the [Holy Spiritual Yggdragonium Shields (A Rank Magic Shields)]!]

[The Potential Abilities of the Shields: [RES +13% (D)] [VIT +15% (D)] [Magic Shield (D)] [Magic Damage Taken -10% (D)] have Evolved to: [RES +60% (B)] [VIT +60% (B)] [Yggdragonium Magic Shield (B)] [Magic Damage Taken -50% (B)]!]

[The many shields have gained the following Abilities: [Elemental Damage Taken -50% (B)], [Spiritual Magic Counter (B)], and [Elemental Aura Assimilation (B)]!]

Although not as great as mine, they were pretty decent with the given time and resources. And once they were all finished, I slowly handed them all to my friends and family.

I even gave the new shields I made on the way there to Jenny, Anna, Elisa, and Monica, so everyone was well equipped with a defensive piece of equipment, ensuring their safety even more than before.

And well, the abilities they possessed were quite honestly interesting, well, the last one was the most interesting to me… Elemental Aura Assimilation.

“Alright everyone, can you wield the shields? Are they too heavy?”

Everyone equipped the shield around their arms and moved around, it seemed nobody found it bothersome. They should be strong enough to carry a lot of weight with ease either way, so it wasn’t anything too hard, thankfully.

“Now, can someone use that new ability the shields have? It’s called Elemental Aura Assimilation!”

“I can try it, mom.”

Elena quickly activated it by saying the ability name, the shield glowed brightly, its silver and gold color suddenly beginning to change.

As this happened, my daughter’s Aura was absorbed by the shield, which then turned black, dark blue, and purple.

The draconic eyes on the shield also turned bright red instead of the former green!

FLUOSH!

As the shield transformed, it suddenly gained a pair of sharp demon-like horns and tiny bat-like wings at each side as decorations.

“I-It’s done I think? What is this? It changed based on my elemental aura? That’s kind of crazy,” my daughter said. “So it really just assimilated it and transformed…

“Does it have special effects?” Anna asked.

“No idea… and I don’t want to test it for now, but I guess this is what it does, mom,” Elena said.

“I see! Now that’s interesting… And nice! Perhaps with that ability everyone can personalize their shields based on their own auras and powers,” I nodded. “That make the shields less generic too!”

“You’re right- Woah!”

Mark was surprised as his shield suddenly burst into flames, changing by his aura into a blazing shield with black charcoal look.

“Mine as well, it became similar to Elena!”

Rita did the same, her shield became black with red eyes, and it had a dark blue pearl in between both jeweled eyes, I don’t know what that was for, maybe for her Malice Gathering Magic?

“Ooh! And my shield became pretty heavy!”

Lily lifted up her shield, which suddenly became twice as big, covered in big crystals that enhanced its defenses and eight, increasing the shield’s defensive abilities even further.

“Mine is as gold as I imagined… Hehe!”

Elisa was fascinated by her shield, turning gold with her aura, it also popped a draconic head made of golden metal, like mine!

“Hm, what is mine even supposed to be?”

Anna’s shield was the most extravagant, gaining several monster heads and colors, the middle had a green wolf head, the left side had a red phoenix head, and the right side had a brown stone golem head.

They were all made of metal either way, but the colors were also divided and different, strangely converging together into what everyone could see.

“Mine is… as I expected?”

Monica tilted her head, her shield had gained clear blue colors and a phantasmal aura, with a skull made of metal on its center with both jewel eyes on the eye sockets.

It even had a pair of skeletal hands, also made of metal, decorating the shield as it released its phantasmal aura.

Pretty interesting!

“Ah, mine is all gooey?”

Jenny was the only one to complain, her shield turned purple colored, with a big snake ehad made of purple metal at the center and two crimson eyes made of rubies.

It constantly secreted some kind of purple gooey substance… Wait, is that poison of some kind?!

“J-Jenny, deactivate the ability for now, that’s poison!” I panicked.

“Ah! Oops! Ok, ok,” Jenny nodded, quickly turning back her shield to normal.

Phew…

…

All things considered, a really interesting shield ability!

Alright, now that the shield reforging and testing has been done, the next step was reforging everyone’s weapons.

They already left them on the table, it was quite a big assortment of items.

I decided to start with the strongest weapons here first, Rita’s Gun and Lily’s Pickaxe.

Both of them were also named weapons by the divine blessing of the gods of Arcadia, so they were bound to evolve into very strong forms, like it happened with Irene.

For them, I already had gathered nice materials for their reforging, and Rita and Lily provided with some more, which they transferred to my inventory through off-line trade using the BNLO app!

“Alright… Once we’re done with these, we’ll move to Elena’s weapon, then probably Jenny, Elisa, Monica, and Anna… it’ll take a little while, but let’s try to get things done quickly.”

As I nodded, filled with determination, I started working.

Each weapon had its own special methods of creation and reforging, and some of them weren’t easy.

However, after almost forty minutes, my self-imposed time limit…

I was done!

…

Ugh, my shoulders and my back were killing me though!
