Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

A three-meter-big green turtle rolled down from who knows where and smashed the Blighter Sorceress into the floor. The power of the impact alone shattering the ground below and creating a huge fissure. The Blighter roared, her crow-like body struggling to get out of the enormous size and height of Elena and Anna's saviors.

"A-A giant turtle?!"

"What the hell…"

Both girls were left speechless, and that wasn't all, as a huge white owl descended in front of them, being at least two meters tall. It conjured a bright light from its eyes, healing their exhaustion and wounds.

"You've fought well, but this is a conflict between us and them. Stay here, children." The white owl spoke with a gentle female voice, quickly glaring at the crow.

"You came because of us, didn't you, Aria?!" The owl asked furiously.

"Hahaha… I have not heard of such a name in a long time." The Blighter woman slowly broke down into rotten wood, surprising the turtle, who quickly noticed her body had turned into a cloud of black spores and then reformed itself back to normal in front of them.

"How much have you corrupted your Nature Soul now?!" The Turtle asked. "Aria, this is a conflict between us Druids and Blighters, do not get involved innocent people into your game!"

"You've crossed the line not even some of the most corrupted sorcerers do." Said the owl. "And… That Aura. Don't tell me you've become the slave of a wicked god?"

"Don't you dare call the Lady of Decay as a wicked god!" Roared Aria. "She is the one that gave me hope, she was the only one that was there when my forest was burned, when my guardians were slaughtered, and when our last God abandoned us! She gave me a new purpose… When my Nature Soul shattered, you only mocked me and left me behind! And now, I am stronger than ever, all thanks to her blessings!"

"Kalmas is not a goddess that would help others without wanting something out of them, foolish Aria." The turtle said, with the voice of an old man. "You're being used by her!"

"I don't care! I will serve her to my death!" Laughed Aria, her claws growing larger. "And the children of the goddess you worship will be a worthy sacrifice for her! Now move, Jose! Janny! I will have no mercy, even if we were once family!"

Aria's body erupted with a black and corrupted aura of nature, giant black wooden roots grew out of the ground around her, attacking the two giant beasts, the owl evaded the attacks, while the turtle rolled towards them, crushing them before they could pierce him. Aria kept attacking them with a variety of spells. Giant mushrooms popped out of the ground, releasing deadly poisonous smoke, in which the owl responded by flapping her wings rapidly, cleaning the air from the spores.

Elena and Anna were left speechless as they saw the battle occur. From what they were able to catch, there was a conflict between local Druids and Blighters. The Druids worshiped… most likely her own mother as some sort of goddess, no less! And the Blighters, who hated them, came to make them suffer by targeting Elena, the daughter of this "goddess".

"Anna, we have to get out of here…" Elena quickly stood back up, grabbing her girlfriend.

"I don't know what the fuck is going on, but yeah!" Anna helped Elena stand up too, both girls crawling away.

They saw in the distance that Elisa was using Steiner's magic gun to keep the two other Druids away from her, although she was already running low on the bullets. At the same time, Monica had her energy restored slightly thanks to Morpheus doing, somehow. And she was now fighting by firing beams with curses, weakening the undead and making the Blighters wary of her. Morpheus did his best to protect them, with both summons and his cloud-like aura, but that only could get them so far.

The Blighters that accompanied Aria weren't mere small fry, but incredibly strong. And were able to take on many hits without even looking tired. Their Undead Wild Shape Spell, a twisted version of the Wild Shape Spell Druids used, turned them into Undead Beasts, incapable of feeling pain, with endless stamina, and immune to most curses and status ailments.

"For how long you can manage to protect them, Spirit?!"

"A Spirit doesn't have endless mana, you're running low on it already, isn't it?"

The two Blighters laughed as they cut through the skeletons Morpheus created, his Mana quickly beginning to go down quickly. He could get more Mana if Elayne was closer to him. Their connection did provide him with it, but not enough for all the things he had to do at once. He was seriously beginning to think he would soon crumble down.

"Dammit, if only the entrance wasn't blocked by those demons!" Morpheus roared, glaring far away. "I can't risk confronting those things, even less when bringing all these people with me. The other would be to use my remaining mana and throw them inside a Dream Portal, but I'm not even sure what could happen then!"

As he started to wonder what he should do, Elena and Anna ran towards them, Elena materializing a sword of shadows after feeling her Mana recovering a bit faster after being healed, and throwing it at the wolf that was gnawing at his summons.

CLASH!

"Another pointless little projectile."

The Undead Wolf glared furiously at Elena, only for the sword to glow brightly, phantom flames surging from within it before it exploded! The explosion itself blew up the wolf's back, his bones visible. The flames spread into the rest of his body.

"Uuurgh?! Dammit!"

"I've learned a few tricks now."

Elena smiled, without transforming to not waste all her Mana, she loaded shadows and phantasmal essence into three of her fingers, using her Mana carefully to not waste it all as it recovered.

"RAAAAR!"

The wolf roared, rushing towards her and Anna, Morpheus managed to materialize a hand made of dream energy, grasping the wolf by his tail and dragging him back. The wolf fought back, pushing forwards. In that moment, Anna pointed her three fingers in front of the Undead Wolf!

"What are you doing…?!"

"Improvising."
