Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

While the Bear Blighter summoned the Agent of Decay, Aria went a step further, summoning the Elemental of Decay. Both entities appearing at the same time sent a powerful shockwave across the entire building, spreading a cloud of decay everywhere. The Undead Monsters pouring out of the Gate constantly started falling and feeding the Goddess Kalma with their nutrient-rich bones and souls. The Decay consumed it all.

"Hahahah! Yes, consume it all!" As Aria laughed, Jose and Janny were left speechless.

"What have you brought upon this world?!" Cried Jose. "Aria, you're insane!"

"She has been for a while now…" Sighed Janny. "We have to stop those things before they end up destroying half the city!"

"Now, where is your goddess at?!" Laughed Aria. "You've been so obsessed with her, yet where is she?! I have not even seen her. She never appears, she never blesses you! Instead of taking the hand of my Lady of Decay, you pursue a pathetic young goddess nobody knows, who has a mortal child no less! I'll rip her to shreds eventually. I will feed her body and soul to Kalma."

"You don't know anything, Aria!" Jose roared. "Our Mother Yggdragon is a growing goddess, but she has the potential to become the one that'll support the world's weight."

"She's destined to become something far greater than your Kalma could ever achieve." Said Janny. "But your presence here, and everything that is happening is our responsibility, we were the ones that brought you upon her Domain. And we'll take you and your summons down!"

The white owl gave a sharp cry, her body growing an armor of light surrounding her body. Druids were not locked to Nature Magic at all. Some of them could be born with other elemental affinities, branching off their Druid Magic and combining it with their elements.

Therefore, while Jose could combine his Stone and Earth Magic with his Wild Shape as an Old Giant Turtle, Janny could do the same with her Light Affinity and her Wild Shape as a White Owl. Covering herself with an armor of light, and with her wings growing twice as large, her feathers were now as big as swords.

Both Druids attacked the giant Elemental of Decay, resembling a giant skeleton whose bones were made of black and green smoke. Wherever it walked, everything that was alive quickly died off, drying and rotting.

Spears of stone, crystal, and meatal attempted to pierce it but had barely any effect, while feather swords of light had the best effect, exploding and making its body dissipate slightly.

"GROOOHHH…"

The Elemental of Decay quickly glared at the Owl, Janny. It swung its giant hands, attempting to catch her to reduce her to ashes through their Decaying Touch. However, she swiftly evaded, resembling a blur of golden light.

"Jose, stop Aria! I am the only one that can take care of this thing!"

"Will you be okay?!"

"I should be asking that! Leave it to me, old man!"

"Hah… Fine! We've gone through worse things."

The two veteran druids nodded, both moving and fighting their respective targets. The Elemental of Decay was completely distracted by Janny's light, slowly dissipating its existence. While Aria was busy, incapable of catching Elena as she was forced to fight the old turtle. Aria quickly noticed the two old men, that should be tired and exhausted due to their age, were much livelier and brimming with stamina.

"How come you can maintain your wild shape for so long?!" Aria roared, clashing against the giant turtle as she took the form of an Undead Griffin, trying to match the size of Jose. "I can do it thanks to the Blessings and Echidna's Blood… But you're just an old druid!"

"You've severely underestimated our goddess then!" Laughed Jose, clashing against her with his spikes and rolling attacks. "She has yet to bless us, but by merely letting us live in her Domain, we've not only regained our vitality, but we were able to visit a different realm, a different plane, one of her own! We were enlightened, and our magic evolved. This form you see, it is something I had never truly grasped until then, Aria."

As he spoke those words, his giant head clashed against Aria, making her collapse on the floor with a loud thud. Meanwhile, the Elemental of Decay struggled to maintain itself, slowly beginning to dissipate.

"No, dammit! STOP!"

Aria roared, countless black roots grew out of the ground, piercing countless times the turtle until he was pushed back. Her griffin form used her sharp claws to tear down his eyes, making him blind. Blood splattering everywhere.

CRAAASH!

"UUGGH…!"

Old man Jose recoiled in agony, forced to step back. Aria laughed, her Griffin form giving her amazing speed, she flew into the skies and targeted Janny, her sharp claws slashing at her back and one of her wings, cutting it!

SLAASH!

"Ugh…! Aria, you…!"

Janny fell into the ground, her blood splattering over the ground. Filling it with crimson red colors. The Elemental of Decay, barely alive, swiftly directed its claws towards the owl, grasping her tightly! His Decaying Touch slowly beginning to destroy her armor of light. Without the armor, she would have died almost instantly.

"AAARGH!"

"Your soul shall be an offering to my goddess!"

Aria laughed, completely unaware of the looming shadow appearing from above her. An unknown giant had descended, entering the battlefield from a hole in the ceiling. Her eyes widened for a split of a second before a giant sword of flames cut through her Griffin form four times, explosions of sacred spirit flames burning through her.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Urrggh…! AAGGGHH! W-What the…?!"

Her body quickly started to burn agonizingly. The flames hit the Elemental of Decay and immediately burned it to ashes. A giant made of wood, covered on an armor made of beautiful totems depicting all kinds of beasts, and holding upon a sword of flames formed out of a magic talking knife, greeted them.

"I will burn you to ashes…"

And as he appeared, another person descended from the skies, stopping the headless fungal wolf, the Agent of Decay, from attacking the druids and Elena's group.

"[Heaven's Sword]"

SLAAASH!
