Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

"Hmm?! A squirrel and some fairy?"

Within the interior of a dark hall only illuminated by blue-colored will-o-wisps, there was a giant, red-colored skeleton of over forty meters of height, with six arms wielding enormous, blazing weapons. His skull had three jeweled eyes and several black horns, looking both demonic and undead.

He sat over a throne of black stone as he watched the challenges in front of him that had dared to enter this hall, which he was using to fill the arena with Undead. There were only two challenges, and they looked rather… well, not what he expected at all!

"What is this?"

His red-colored skull face was rather expressive, making a wide smile as he mocked the people in front of him, despite having left behind a huge trail of destroyed Undead behind them…

Their Auras exuded powerful Divine and Spiritual Energies; they weren't normal enemies.

Yet… this giant skeleton thought he was stronger anyway, just because they were smaller.

A terrible mistake.

"Some damn whimsical fairytale now?! Hahahaha- GUH?!"

CRAAASH!

A giant spear made of frost pierced his chest before he could even react, his body slowly began to freeze, as he desperately stood up in utter disbelief, panicking.

"W-What…?!" he muttered. "Where did that- Ah!"

He quickly put his weapons in front of his arms and face, especially his head where his core was located, as the squirrel he looked down upon quickly transformed into a huge muscular squirrel, with the huge build of a gorilla, swinging his claws and pointy tail against him.

"Is this just a squirrel to you, buddy?! {Divine Beast's Wild Charge}!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each of the giant squirrel beast's attacks were imbued with small amounts of Ancient Divinity, flowing from his very Bloodline, infusing the powers of an ancestor into his body, giving him this new form.

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

"Dammit! My weapons!"

The giant skeleton panicked as he saw his blazing weapons durability pummel and shatter down into countless tiny pieces. The attacks of his foe continued, breaking through half of his arms! In desperation, he opened his jaws, unleashing a gigantic beam of demonic flames.

"DIEEE!"

BOOOM!

"Ugh!"

The squirrel was sent flying into the ceiling, as the flames engulfed and burned through his fur. Only for the fairy he had been ignoring to appear behind him again, her appearance having changed as she gained the slight appearance of a sea fairy, an Undine.

"{Spiritual Sea Trident Arts}: {Rampaging Leviathan}!"

Her rapier had turned into a giant trident composed of frost and swirling sea water, her attacks reached the Demonic Skeleton's entire head, blasting it apart into countless pieces as an enormous serpent of water and frost coiled around the rest of his body.

CLAAASH!

"Uuuaaagggh!"

The skeleton tried to defend, firing countless demonic and death spells at the fairy, only for them to be easily countered with barriers of frost and waves of water she summoned instantly.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

"Y-You damn…! DON'T THINK IT'LL BE SO EASY TO FUCK ME OVER!"

With a frustrated scream, the giant skeleton unleashed all his power at once even as half his face was destroyed, summoning a gigantic sphere, and charging it with blazing power.

"BURN!"

"No, you burn!"

"Huh?!"

However, in the last second, the giant squirrel appeared again, his form having changed, now resembling an old squirrel wizard, even his fur having changed to resemble big clothes, a long beard, and even a wizard hat.

"{Elemental Combination}: {Frost Fire Thunder Hand}!"

Conjuring a giant storm of ice, fire, and thunder, and shaping it into a massive hand, which opened and then closed, grabbing the sphere of demonic flames and pushing it down into the skeleton's face.

"T-This is…?!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Before it could do anything, its entire head, and the rest of its body, were blown up into pieces. The core located inside the skull fully shattered, and the Undead died immediately.

As the sound of its shattered bones falling into the ground reverberated, the entire hall started to tremble, cracks spreading everywhere as the ceiling started to collapse, revealing an endless darkness behind it.

"Acorn! We have to run away now!"

"Yeah! Wait a bit though, Nieve! The treasure chest!"

"Huh? Ah, right!"

Acorn transformed into his Beast Form and grabbed the treasure chest that materialized besides the boss' body, running away from the dungeon with Nieve right in front of him.

The two jumped off the gate, finding themselves in the Arena once more, the gate quickly closed behind them disappearing as the interior completely collapsed, devoured by pure darkness.

FLASH!

"Phew, we barely made it!" Acorn said, as he stored the treasure chest inside his inventory.

"This is our second Underworld Gate," said Nieve. "Also, according to master's Telepathic messages, her Avatar has closed another three, so there's only five more gates left, the amount of Undead has been reduced a lot too."

Acorn and Nieve glanced around, noticing that Planta's Divine Draconic Spirit Beasts she had trouble summoning at the beginning were now covering most of the areas, massacring all and any Undead that appeared with their tremendous stats and powerful elemental attacks.

The Divine Harvest Field that summoned them expanded, fusing with Planta's Domain to constantly create more of their seeds, necessary for their summoning.

Dragon Spirits alone weren't enough due to their summoning duration and ethereal bodies, but the Draconic Spirit Beasts were completely solid and had no summoning time, Planta even brought several of the ones she had saved from her adventure in the Cloudia Fragment Dungeon.

"Acorn, let's hurry, we have to clear the other Gates, quickly," said Nieve.

"Yeah, let's go!" Acorn nodded.

"{Vessel Activation}!"

Their bodies overflowed with the Spiritual Essence of the Great Spirit and the Fairy Queen Titania through Planta's [Aeternitas' Divine Spiritual Vessel Guardian Protection] Skill, giving them a greater amount of power and bonus stats.

The two of them entered yet another Underworld Gate, facing a gigantic zombie dragon this time, roaring ferociously, with three heads and four wings.

"Welcome to my lair, pitiful insects! You think you can even stop me?! TRY YOUR BEST- GEH?!"

"[Great Divine Spiritual Magic]: {Dual Divine Spiritual Attack}!"

BOOOMMM!

By combining the Divine Spiritual Essence of the Great Spirit and Titania, they unleashed two massive beams of pure divine energy, blasting the Zombie Dragon's face and chest, and destroying both of its cores.

"Another down, let's hurry, Acorn."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Yeah!"
