Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Elisa slowly opened her eyes again, finding herself resting over Monica's lap, while surrounded by countless black chains and phantasmal claws, which tore through any of the weaker Hollows that sneaked inside, constantly, and without end.

"Hahhh… Hahhh…"

Monica was constantly fighting, her Teddy Bear Phantasmal Guardian was helping her fight the beasts behind her as well, leaving no blind spot.

"Monica…?"

Elisa slowly tried to talk, finding that her face was healed, she feared an ugly scar would have been left, but she was lucky enough a healing potion made using Elayne's blood sap and the water of the Fountain of Life was poured into her wound quickly.

"Elisa! Y-You're awake! I'm glad, you were unconscious for a little while… A-Anything's wrong?"

"N-No, everything is fine… Have you been protecting me this whole time?"

"I-I've done… Hahhh… M-My best!" Monica muttered, looking clearly exhausted. "There's a lot happening outside though, but the Hollows never stop coming. I can regain Mana by absorbing it out of them, but it sure is tiring…"

"You look way too tired you dummy!" Elisa sighed, quickly standing up and releasing her Mana Aura. "Let me help you out as well! Hm? There are so many crystals everywhere…"

"Crystals?" wondered Monica.

"Yeah, haven't you used any?! Let me collect them!" Elisa jumped out of the "barrier" Monica had created recklessly, making Monica panic.

"Wait, Elisa!"

Monica tried to stop her, but Elisa jumped out, facing dozens of Hollows at once, however, after resting and being healed, Elisa's body and magic circle were stronger than before.

Her golden dragon scales regrew over her body again, as she unleashed a barrage of attacks using her gloves' Abilities in conjunction with her powerful Spells.

"{Dragon's Fist}!"

Her fists moved rapidly, creating the illusion of huge draconic fists crushing the Hollows, making them explode into soot and sludge.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

"{Golden Dragon's Claws}!"

Her hands grew sharp, big golden claws as if they were made of pure gold, which she swung against the more agile Hollows that didn't let themselves get hit easily.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"{Golden Dragon Wings}!"

When they came from behind her, she summoned her wings and flapped them furiously and rapidly, generating gusts of winds that stopped foes from getting closer, helping her slash them or punch them away.

FLUOSH!

"{Golden Dragon Tail}!"

And when they surrounded her, she summoned her dragon tail, swinging it around and piercing the bodies of the Hollows multiple times, shattering their masks in the process, using her third limb as a deadly spear.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Elisa! Come back, there are too many coming from your left!"

Monica panicked as she saw over a dozen more Hollows rush towards Elisa as she was fighting another batch.

However!

Elisa's inhaled a lot of air first, her cheeks pouting cutely before…

"{Golden Dragon's Fiery Breath}!"

A fiery breath of golden flames was unleashed, covering all the Hollows at once with incandescent, burning fire that quickly destroyed their bodies and burned their sludge-like forms into ashes.

BOOOM!

"I think I'm getting a hang of how and when to use my Spells an Abilities properly!" Elisa said. "I have to time them well and synchronize their attacks, and things suddenly become much more doable!"

As she said that, she rushed towards the jewels, grabbing, and throwing them at Monica by the dozens. In a few seconds, there was a pile of hundreds of Hollow Cores inside of her barrier.

"Elisa! Come back, quickly!"

Her Mana was already decreasing severely, but Elisa continued fighting and collecting cores. Despite knowing the situation, this was a golden opportunity to grow stronger, and she wouldn't waste it!

"I'm going!"

Elisa quickly spread out her dragon wings, leaping off the head of a Hollow and reaching Monica, quickly using her Light Spell {Purify} which she learned from Gabriel just recently when Katherine started teaching them, and quickly purified the crystals.

"{Purify}!"

FLASH!

The black stones quickly gained a clear blue color, ready for consumption. The girls quickly grabbed them and started absorbing them one after another, gaining more and more Mana, and pushing themselves to their limits.

Their Magic Circles resonated by the energies absorbed, rapidly inscribing more and more Runes through them, making them stronger. Their maximum amount of Mana also increased, until both girls Magic Circles reached Tier 2 Rank 3!

FLAAASH!

Monica's dark aura and Elisa's golden aura overflowed with several times their original Mana capacity and Spell Power, with all the crystals absorbed, the girls nodded to one another, charging forward.

"{Golden Dragon's Spirit Summon}!"

"{Shadow Ghost Cursed Claws}!"

Both girls unleashed new Spells they had created, stronger than the ones before as they fused their runes together to generate even mightier ones. Elisa summoned dozens of tiny golden dragon spirits that fired beams of golden flames or created golden dragon scale shields, attacking, and protecting her.

Meanwhile, Monica summoned giant claws of darkness and cursed phantom energies, tearing the souls out of her foes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As they fought, they quickly went to protect Gabriel who was being swarmed by Hollows, slaying all the monsters, and then bringing him to the Fountain of Life, where he drank all the water and quickly recovered his energies. It was one of the few natural things this domain had which were amazingly convenient.

"Can you keep fighting, Gabriel?" wondered Elisa.

"I think I can, thank you!" Gabriel finished absorbing over thirty purified Hollow Cores. "Let's fight together, I think the Hollows are going down by a lot!"

"Yeah!" Monica nodded.

They joined Blackie after that, and then noticed another presence inside the house awakening, an endless domain of nightmares and dreams emerging.

"Morpheus!" Monica said. "You're finally here!"

"Yes, I've awoken," the living dream and nightmare spirit weapon roared. "However, I'll take care of protecting those sleeping here for now! I'll help you with my summons though! {Summon Nightmarish Skeleton Knights}!"

Dozens of black skeletons wearing heavy armor and wielding huge swords, axes, hammers, and shields stepped out of the house, fighting off the Hollows one after another.

Slowly, after joining with Blackie and then finding a tired Katherine and healing her, they managed to completely fend off the Hollows, and see what was happening outside.

"W-What's happening outside?!" Elisa screamed.

"T-That's…!" Monica covered her mouth in horror.

They all saw in horror as a huge man overflowing with cursed and dark energies was holding a heavily wounded giant eagle and a white owl with his hands, absorbing their mana and spirit power as he restored his wounds.

"Hahaha! You're all so WEAK!" laughed the man. "I came here all the way from America expecting a challenge, but I guess magicians from other countries just can't compare, huh? You grew up in a peaceful place, didn't you?!"

"U-ugghh…!"

"Let… us go…!"

"Oh no!" Katherine screamed. "The Druids!"

"T-That damn sorcerer…!" Gabriel roared, gritting his teeth as his angelic powers erupted. "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"

"Wait, Gabriel!"

Elisa tried to stop him, only for the angel to fly towards the sorcerer with tremendous power, reaching him and conjuring a huge spear of light.

"Hm?!"

Tyrone's pure white eyes widened as he saw the angel approaching, before smiling.

"An angel! Right, you had that too! Hahaha! This domain is just a gift that keeps on giving, huh?!"

The man dropped the two birds he was holding, swinging his fists against Gabriel!

CRAAASH!

Gabriel's spear shattered into pieces as a powerful dark power destroyed their magical constructs, all while he was punched in the face, flying away with tremendous force.

"Ugh…!"

"GABRIEL!"

The girls ran to his help, including Blackie and Morpheus' skeletons, surrounding the boy on the floor as the sorcerer glared at them.

"So this is the last stand? A bunch of little critters and two girls…" the man smiled. "Oh man, I'm going to enjoy this."

"Don't think this is over yet!"

"Bastard!"

However, they weren't alone, as a giant turtle covered on ores and crystals descended from the skies, slamming into the floor, and unleashing a mighty aura of pure raw power, alongside a huge crow standing right above his shell.

"J-Judith…!"

"Grandpa Jose!"

The Druids seemed slightly happy to see them, they had just finished cleaning the Hollows in the other side of the territory, reaching here barely in time…

Or well, in fact, not in time.

"Emilio…!" Jose muttered, feeling pained.

"No…!" Judith cried. "H-He's…?! NO!"

"Hahahaha! And you're next, my animal friends!" Tyrone spread out his arms, as his tattoos began to change, slowly transforming into giant weapons. "{Forbidden Cursed Technique}: {Cursed Weapon Manifestation}"

"You'll pay for this, you BASTARD!"

The oldest of all the druids, Grandfather Jose, unleashed his wrath for the very first time.

"{Nature Soul}: {Earthen Fury}!"

RUMBLE!
