Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Novel

-----

"W-What with these horrible debuff?!" Titan couldn't help but cry in surprise.

"E-Eh? Hey wait this isn't so bad for me…" Achlys said. "My new spider is also poison attribute so we get boosted at least… But my stats have lowered anyways…"

"T-This is bad!" Acorn said.

"This foul smell… It seems to be affecting us physically. This wasn't something the Snake Queen had before when our Hero defeated her!" Said Sporegon.

"Indeed, this is certainly a power she had gained now… It is completely new." Hunter added.

"Could it be that the Snake Queen had somehow grown powerful? But how come she became a Dungeon Master? I don't remember the Demon King having such power!" Magius said.

"This is… Could the System have something to do with this?" Wondered Alice.

"Agh! Even with the Wards made by the Queen, our power is being lowered so much… Well, my Ice is still as strong as ever, and my Rapier Techniques as well…" Nieve said, she didn't seemed as affected.

However, Titan and I were the most affected, after all our primary elements were Nature, and we used Spirits to fight the most too!

"Ugh… All the things we are good at got nerfed heavily!" I sighed.

If it wasn't for my [Revered Figure] Title taking 20% of all Stats and effects from many Titles to boost my Stats further, I would be in an even worse situation.

"Bwahaha… HAHAHAHA! You've stepped into my domain, fools!"

Suddenly, the voice of a woman resonated across the entire swamp.

"Are you the Snake Queen?!" I asked.

"It is I indeed!" She laughed. "You absolute fools! Do you truly believe you could easily and leisurely enter my domain without me being able to do anything? Players really think they are at the top of the world! Your immortality means nothing if it is controlled by the System!"

"What?! She knows about the System?" Asked Sporegon.

"So my theory might be right…" Alice pointed out.

"Reveal yourself and fight us!" Titan roared. "Let's get this done already."

"Heh, as if!" Laughed the Snake Queen. "Do you think I would try to do something so unsightly for someone as incredible as me? I've evolved way past my previous self. I've evolved and become someone even better and stronger. I don't need to do the job myself, even, as my children had grown stronger as well! I will show that egotistical Titania and those damn fairies that I am the one that deserves to take over this forest… And after your deaths, you won't ever be able to stop me anymore."

"How come you're so sure about this?!" Rita roared back. "You bitch! Just come down here and let's fight! I'm gonna beat the shit out of you!"

"Achlys don't swear to NPC!" I said. "Language!"

"Hmph! As if I were so feeble as to fall by the cheap provocation of a Dark Elf…" Laughed the Snake Queen. "Now, my children, devour them all!"

TRUUUUUMMM…!

Suddenly, the ground began to shake strongly, as we saw countless silhouettes appear in the background, they were dozens- no, hundreds of snakes of all shapes and sizes, and there were three of the big ones we had to fight the other day as well! Wait, what? We have to fight three of them now?! But… ah, they're half as big, I suppose they have yet to fully mature, but still!

"This is a bit too much against the odds…" Titan said.

"Did she prepared an entire trap against us?" Wondered Achlys.

"We'll have to get fighting then, there's no other way!" I said, quickly holding my Shovel as it shapeshifted into a Scythe.

"Snake Queen, you've changed too much."

Suddenly, the voice of Titania resonated within ourselves. She wasn't here in her physical form, but through the Blessings she gave to us, she somehow manifested as a spirit-like projection, majestic and beautiful, her light shone brightly over the forest, illuminating, and slightly purifying our surroundings.

"W-What?! That's… Spirit Avatar?! Titania, you dare come here to fight yourself even in your weakened state?!" Roared the Snake Queen angrily.

"I have not come myself, but I am merely a Spirit Avatar, but it should be enough to do this… Right, Great Spirit of Harvest?" Titania asked, as the bright Spirit of Harvest emerged at her side, suddenly emerging as a beautiful lady made of plants, with green skin and countless flowers covering her body- wait that's not a carrot at all!

"I suppose we'll have to assist these children a bit. Oh, my form ahs changed slightly? Your amazing talent with spirits seems to have slightly affected my form, Titania. Lets make sure to put this temporary power to good use, Planta!" Said the Great Spirit.

"Eh?! What do you want me to do in this situation?" I asked in doubt.

"SHAAAAA!"

"GROOARRR!"

"GRYSHAAA!"

The snakes kept approaching, as the Great Spirit and Titania suddenly appeared behind me, guiding my arms.

"Swing that weapon, Planta!"

"We'll lead you through a path! A path that only you can forge through your power."

"A path…?! A-Alright!"

I infused Spiritual Essence into my Scythe, a Farming Tool, as I quickly realized what they truly wanted me to do… They wanted me to create a path for us to move, our own domain, pretty much. That's… I see! I just have to swing my weapon as I've always done so!

However, that alone might not do it even!

Ding!

[You have exchanged 34 Skill Points]

[The [Terrain Adaptability] Skill has Leveled Up to Level 10 (MAX)!]

[The [Soil Manipulation] Skill has Leveled Up to Level 10 (MAX)!]

[Your Spiritual Essence resonates with your new power over Soil and the Terrain surrounding you!]

"Now… Spiritual Attack!"

FLAAASH!

My scythe shone bright with golden and green light, as I swung it horizontally against the enormous army of snakes, a ray of enormous light impacted the swamps in front of us and anything in front, the trees were quickly sliced apart as dozens of snakes were quickly destroyed, disintegrated in mere seconds!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

And behind that destruction, the Swamp Tiles surrounding us began to change!

[Corrupted Swamp Tiles] have been changed into [Healthy Soil]!]

No way… So that's it!
