Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

“GRAAAAHHH!”

The Cyclops struggled to fight back properly, groaning in pain as he was constantly attacked by two giant Yggdragon Golems. Their claws dug into his flesh and made him bleed, while their magic melted his ice armor and weakened him.

However, the furious Cyclops wasn’t weak enough to let two golems kill him. As a monstrous being from ancient times, his regeneration was incredibly fast, and his ability to adapt and gain resistance, then near immunity, to magic spells was terrifying.

The more the golems attacked him, the more resilient the monstrous one-eyed titan became, turning out to be much more troublesome than Elayne had thought.

His giant hands dug into the golems’ bodies, seeking their ethereal spirit cores to shatter them.

Although traditional golems required much time and materials to create, Elayne could easily make them by condensing a spirit core inside them with her sheer spiritual energy.

While alchemists might need materials and time to create a core, Elayne could manifest it with a simple thought.

Therefore, she could also afford to discard them easily.

“Self-Destruct!”

With a simple command, the golem that had its body pierced glowed suddenly, its spiritual core exploding in a massive burst of rainbow flames, engulfing the Cyclops in these flames and burning his resistant, invulnerable skin.

BOOOM!

“GRYAAAAH!”

As the creature screamed, the other golem swung its fists forward, punching the creature by channeling the spells and physique techniques Maria had imbued into its body.

Indeed, these golems were now more akin to puppets that Elayne controlled with spiritual threads emerging from her aura.

Her mere thoughts made them move, and on their divine wood, the imprinted runes of her spells and physique abilities granted them some of her powers.

Blazing punches imbued with dream flames weakened the Cyclops’ soul, putting it in a state of great dizziness.

The Cyclops, however, released his cursed frost aura, overpowering the golem and smashing it with his fist.

BOOOM!

Another explosion erupted right in front of him, as the last golem exploded and dealt significant damage to the monstrous creature, which fell to the ground once again.

Its wounds burned constantly, stopping it from regenerating.

At the same time, it had grown dizzy, and its soul was rather weakened. This was the perfect time to take it down.

“Everyone, go take that thing down, hurry!”

After hearing her command, Mark, Elisa, Monica, Anna, and Elena rushed toward the creature, attacking it with their strongest techniques.

Elisa’s thunderous breath blasted several holes through the monster’s thick hide and began tearing apart its new cursed ice armor with her claws.

Monica’s ghostly curses and binding spells stopped it in place, now weakened enough for her spells to affect it to some extent.

Anna summoned her Familiars and combined their magic into a multicolored beam, striking the Cyclops’ forehead repeatedly.

Elena swung her blade, cutting through the monster’s thick neck and digging into its muscle but unable to cut the bone properly, although its blood splattered everywhere.

“Damn it, this thing is way too tough even after all of this!” Elena complained.

“GRUOOOHHH!”

Despite everyone doing their best, the Cyclops was truly an Ancient Spirit Beast, easily shaking them all off with a furious roar and standing up yet again!

It was a truly admirable and incredibly tough being.

Unlike in Arcadia, where they could use the full extent of their avatars’ powers, skills, items, and resources, in the real world, things were much more complicated.

Their weapons glowed with all their spiritual power and mana as they attacked the monster’s ankles, quickly helping it fall for a moment!

As the ground trembled, the Cyclops quickly swung its giant arms against them, sweeping everyone away with a massive attack!

RUMBLE!

“Hey!”

However, at that moment, a roar echoed from afar, and a blazing titan emerged, made of metallic wood and encompassed in blazing flames.

Dozens of powerful Totem Spirits materialized around his body.

Although it wasn’t his Avatar’s body, Mark could transform into his gigantic form for a few minutes without feeling too much strain on his body and soul.

“GRAAAH!”

The Cyclops manifested a giant axe of ice, clashing against Mark’s blazing swords, but his techniques quickly overpowered the Cyclops, pushing him back and covering him in searing, burning wounds without end.

A pair of phoenix wings manifested from Mark’s back, firing dozens of blazing, explosive feathers and pushing the Cyclops back while his Berserk Blade merged with his Knife, piercing the monster’s body.

“GRRRRR!”

The Cyclops hissed furiously, using his massive hands to stop the blazing sword and then punch Mark’s head down into the ground.

“Wha…?!”

Mark collapsed onto the ground, the Cyclops, with his burning blade piercing its chest, roared, beginning to stomp him wildly while cursed ice started spreading into his spirit flames.

“D-Damn it!”

As Mark screamed, the rest attacked the Cyclops once more, aiming at its back. Their concentrated attacks, bombardment of spells, and more barely scratched it.

“How is that thing tougher than Demons?” Elayne asked, surprised.

“It’s not that! Barbarians of the Ice Tribe and Ancient Spirit Beasts like a Cyclops all have the power to reflect Mana and even Spirit Energy partially,” Khione explained, recovering. “You have to aim at its weaknesses and the inside of its body. Their vitality is also ridiculously high. They can live for days with a sword piercing their hearts!”

“I see,” Elayne nodded. “Then we’ll finish this quickly.”

Elayne remained calm and composed, stepping onto the battlefield on her own. Feathered wings spread out as she flew toward where the battle was ongoing.

She looked down, sending three living weapons toward the monsters below.

A giant nightmare scythe swept through the barbarians, cleaving their bodies and souls apart in seconds. Nightmarish creatures started crawling out of their corpses.

Another scythe exuded demonic power and terrifying crimson flames, destroying the ice goblins and ice trolls that were approaching the barrier.

Lastly, a floating demonic staff constantly shot rays of energy, vaporizing dozens at a time while creating demonic beasts to fight for her.

“Aim at the interior of its mouth and blast it from the inside out!”

As Elayne spoke, everyone heard her loud and clear and nodded, climbing the creature. The Cyclops kept screaming loudly, so it wasn’t hard to aim at its open mouth.

However, the giant defended himself with his hands before kicking away a shockwave of cursed ice energy, pushing back everyone else.
