Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

“Almost there…!”

After using almost two hundred Spirit Cores, Elayne was able to break through the big bottleneck she had been stuck on, managing to reach the next realm.

Her Spiritual Heart blossomed beautifully, gaining a small, pink-colored lotus flower made of pink crystals, which Elayne could feel within her.

After that, she felt as if she had finally gained more power.

[Your Spiritual Heart has absorbed 203 Spirit Cores.]

[You have successfully absorbed the Spiritual Energy and converted it into raw Spirit Power, strengthening your Spiritual Heart and breaking through your Spirit Gate Limits, reaching a higher Rank.]

[You gained +180,000 Spirit Power!]

[Your [Spiritual Heart]: [Tier 1: Rank 10: Heavenly Yggdragon of Time Spirit Heart] has Ranked Up to Tier 2: Rank 1!]

[You gained +20,000 Spirit Power!]

[Your Spiritual Heart has gained a large quantity of Spirit Power and Spirit Energy and cannot absorb any more for some time, unless you risk an overload of energy, which might cripple your Spiritual Heart.]

[Your [Spiritual Arts]: {Spiritual Armor Embodiment Art: Tier 1: Rank 6} has absorbed the energy and increased its Rank automatically, rising to Tier 1: Rank 8!]

[Your [Spiritual Arts]: {Spiritual Soul Weapon Art: Tier 1: Rank 4} has absorbed the energy and increased its Rank automatically, rising to Tier 1: Rank 6!]

[Your [Spiritual Arts]: {Spirit Weapon Forging Art: Tier 1: Rank 1} has absorbed the energy and increased its Rank automatically, rising to Tier 1: Rank 3!]

[Your [Spiritual Soul Weapon]: [Ancient Soil-Shaping Hoe: Tier 1] has Ranked Up to Tier 2, and its form and materialization have become stronger and more solid.]

[The [Spiritual Soul Weapon Ability]: [Soil Shaping (F++)] has Ranked Up to E+ Rank.]

[Your Spiritual Soul Weapon is developing a new Ability: [???]. More practice and cultivation of spiritual energy are required to learn it properly.]

[Your Spiritual Heart Beasts have also benefited from all the energy, absorbing it and increasing their Growth Rate exponentially!]

[Your {Spiritual Heart Beast: Golden Thunderbolt Lion (Spirit Larva Rank: 40%)} has increased its Growth to 60%!]

[Your {Spiritual Heart Beast: Volcanic Slime (Spirit Larva Rank: 40%)} has increased its Growth to 60%!]

[Your {Spiritual Heart Beast: White Sky Serpent (Spirit Larva Rank: 40%)} has increased its Growth to 60%!]

“It’s done. I’ve grown considerably… but my Magic Circle and Physique are still not there yet. As for the Cyclops’ Cores, I’ll save them for an emergency.”

Elayne couldn’t grow any more until her Spiritual Heart “cooled down” for a bit, so she decided to save those two giant Spirit Cores or use them for something if she needed to.

As for the Cyclops’ materials, she had already used her Spirit Weapon Forging Art to create some leather clothes containing the Cyclops’ powerful ability to resist magic and spirit energy to an extent.

The bones were also used to make new shields and additional weapons just in case, while reinforcing the existing weapons without trying to elevate them too much, so she wouldn’t risk destroying them due to an overload of power.

“I think we’re ready to go,” Elayne said with a nod. After lunch, everyone was prepared to depart, sporting new blue-colored robes and bone armor on top of their usual clothes for extra protection. “Thank you for everything so far, Khione.”

“I wish I could go, but the city is still under repair… However, I worry about my father,” Khione sighed. “So please, would you let me lend your hand for a bit?”

“Hm?” Elayne extended her hand, as Khione infused her Spiritual Power into the Rune of the Ice Fairy Guild, transforming it into a more royal, divine rune. “This is…?”

“It’s a Divine Spirit Blessing Rune,” Khione said. “With this, you can summon my Consciousness into a Spirit of Ice, so I can accompany you. I may not have as much power as my true self here, but I am sure I can be of some help.”

“That’s perfect, thank you!” Elayne said with a nod. “Alright, let’s go. We’ll summon you once we’re halfway through.”

“I’ll be waiting patiently,” Khione said. “Good luck!”

As everyone departed on a giant Yggdragon Golem, the mountain of frost and ice slowly became smaller and smaller in the distance.

They crossed through the wild savannahs, as they were in a hurry and couldn’t really tour around as they wished, and began to slowly approach the Capital of Avalon, the great city that Oberon governed.

“There it is. That’s Avalon, right?” Rita asked, her eyes showing concern. “Just what the hell is happening over there?!”

“I can feel it. A great amount of Demonic Energy, like nothing else, is oozing from the city…” Katherine said.

“Demons…” Gabriel said angrily.

“I’m here,” Khione said, having been summoned, looking down. “Ah! F-Father?!”

Among them all, she was the only one who could feel her own father due to their connection as father and daughter.

And there, she could feel her father was…

“He’s happy? What? No… this is an illusion, Father! W-Why would you let someone manipulate you?!”

As Khione lost her composure for a moment, Elayne calmed her down.

“Calm down, Khione. We’ll find out once we get there,” Elayne said. “Yggdragon Golem, slowly descend!”

Her Celestial Aura covered the golem, protecting it from the demonic miasma oozing everywhere like black, toxic clouds.

Slowly, the Yggdragon reached the front of the city. The gates were tightly closed.

“Here we are… Whatever this is, we’ll defeat it and save King Oberon.”

Elayne bravely stepped forward with her family and friends. The thick demonic miasma clouds everywhere created an oppressive atmosphere.

And in the distance, in front of the gate…

“Everyone?! What’s happening inside? Can you hear me?”

Khione tried to speak with the guards there, but the guards remained silent.

“E-Everyone?”

Until they looked back, their eyes glowing with bright red light.

As they flew toward her, the fairies pointed their weapons at her, overflowing with demonic energy.

With just a glance, Elayne quickly understood what was happening.

“They’ve been possessed by demons! Khione, step back!”
