Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

The monstrosity, a “Nightmare God” as Nakuna called this thing, screamed in utter and painful agony, as its entire body was rapidly being compressed, crushed to death with the weight of a mountain- no, perhaps even more than that.

“H-HOW IS THIS…! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!”

Nakuna was going completely insane trying to figure out the “secret” behind Lily’s powers, and constantly being reminded that, despite how hard he tried, his Mana Absorbing Spells and Abilities weren’t as effective against her!

“GRAAAH! I’VE HAD ENOUGH! {NIGHTMARE FORMATION: SOUL AND MANA DEVOURING BLACK GARDEN}!!!”

Nakuna decided to just waste all of his Dark Nightmare Essence accumulated through the death of his Nightmareborns, manifesting a gigantic formation and trapping Lily within it!

FLAAAASH!

“Hmm?”

Lily looked around, noticing she was surrounded by a giant garden of monstrous, nightmarish flowers with eyes and vine-like tentacles.

The endless garden was accompanied by a night sky and a massive, white moon hanging above the skies, with a creepy smile.

“I’LL DRAIN YOU DRY OF ALL YOUR ENERGY, UNTIL YOU’RE NOTHING BUT THE LITTLE ANT YOU TRULY ARE!!!”

Nakuna roared furiously, his Nightmareborn God roared by his side, as he maintained himself inside the monstrous being, endlessly regenerating, as it tried to take on Lily.

“…”

Lily felt her Mana being drained rapidly, and even her Soul began to feel disturbed by this Domain, staying for too long here would be a terrible choice.

“I see, this is really troublesome… But!”

“{Divine Titan Earth Hammer Arts}: {Divine Titan’s Ore Axe: Terran}!”

She raised her pickaxe, Terra, as a gigantic axe suddenly manifested from it, merging Terra with countless ores, crystals, and stone, so titanic that it was over a mountain of size.

Enormous, to the point it felt like there was a whole ecosystem on top of this massive axe made of stone, ores, and crystals…

RUMBLE!

“Hmph! This is the power of a nobody!”

While the Diamond Hands were still crushing and flattening the monstrous Nightmareborn God, Lily smashed the hands with her axe, further pushing with all her strength, as the entire thing began trembling, and the domain Nakuna made with so much effort…

TRUUUMMM!!!

…Started to rapidly collapse, gaining countless cracks across its entire spatial construct, collapsing, falling apart piece by piece! Nakuna couldn’t understand what was happening, before he realized the titanic axe had split all of his Domain.

“{Spiritual Draconic Mother Earth’s Divine Wrath}!”

And Lily wasn’t even done yet, activating one of Terra’s strongest abilities on top of it, as the ground around her trembled, forming dozens of mountains one after another.

TRUUUM! TRUUUM! TRUUUM! TRUUUM!

The mountains began to erupt from the ground, destroying the entire formation and crushing the Nightmareborn God until it exploded into a massive explosion of black soot and mana.

BOOOMMM!!!

And then, Nakuna saw as all his efforts were completely in vain, his formation shattered into pieces, and the immense force of his Nightmareborn God dying further damaged him as well.

“U-Uugggaaagghh…?!”

He vomited a large quantity of blood, feeling his entire body constantly pulsating with agony, his Nightmare Essence was also no longer coming from his body, he had used everything he had!

With this level of power, he could level entire cities, destroy whole organizations that protected entire countries, and more.

And yet… he was crushed like an ant!

“This is beyond… everything we expected… to think they have reached such a ridiculous level of power! They must be eliminated… they could completely tilt the balance of the underworld if they are left to thrive… for longer…! The Black Hand must thrive, King Hassan’s legacy…! Must continue…!”

He started mumbling to himself as Lily looked at him from above, exhausted. Mostly all her Mana and Spiritual Energy was used, but she had managed to do the same for Nakuna!

Cornering to his limits, he was also left almost powerless…

“Lily!”

“Lily, are you alright?!”

She herd Elayne and Mark’s voices coming from behind her, as she saw them quickly reach her, standing over her gigantic shoulders.

“A-Ah…! Elayne, Mark…! I did it…! I did a good job, right? I’m not a nobody… right?” Lily muttered, looking a bit too tired.

“Y-You did an amazing job!” Elayne gasped. “And a nobody?! What the hell are you talking about? You’re amazing, Lily! You’ve always been… Here, let me help.”

“Yeah, honestly, I’m impressed. Your strength… to think you can bring it to this extent! It’s just amazing,” Mark said.

“Elayne… Mark…” Lily felt slightly moved by their words, shedding a big tear from her giant eyes.

FLAAASH!

As this happened, Elayne spread vegetation through her body, growing trees, grass, flowers, and spiritual plants everywhere.

Lily quickly felt revitalized, with an entire Terrain and its many tiles spreading through her entire body, she was rapidly regaining her Mana and Spiritual Energy!

“That should take care of it…!” Elayne nodded, glancing at the Dream Cloud.

Her family was fighting the Nightmareborns attacking it and managing to mostly take care of eighty percent of them all.

No more were being produced as well, and there were less than fifty alive, they would quickly take care of that on their own.

And then, she looked at Nakuna.

“What is he doing? He’s mumbling something to himself?” Mark wondered. “Why isn’t he doing anything? Should I go take him down?”

“I thought he would find a way to escape but… it seems he’s completely drained of energy,” Elayne said. “But that’s why we must be careful, if we get too close he might try to siphon everything we have and regain his powers once more. He’s a dangerous opponent… it just happened that Lily was a terrible match for him.”

“Why’s that the case?” Lily was curious. “I’ve been wondering, my body… is it because of my physical attacks and magic?”

“Yeah, it seems Mana Draining Abilities are difficult to use when dealing with physical attacks,” Elayne explained. “And also, magic spells that summon full physical object items are incredibly hard to dispel due to their solid structure. Mana Draining is better against non-solid magic.”

“Interesting…” Mark nodded. “Then we just have to use our physical techniques… We can’t let him escape. What if he tells the rest of the Black Hand about our current strength and abilities and then they come back more prepared?”

“Yeah… I suppose we must take care of them,” Lily sighed. “Killing people… well, can you really call him a “person” at all?”

“He’s more like a monster, his aura… it’s pure malice,” Elayne gritted her teeth. “I can see it, thousands… tens of thousands of souls, from innocent people, screaming, wailing within him. He is a monster, like Merlinus, he has fallen into utter malice and demonic depravity. He lusts after souls themselves, devours them, and uses their agony to fuel his Nightmare Magic…”
