Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-127

I looked at the distance while trying to keep myself from throwing up. I noticed the fairy soldiers mounting the large beetles were fighting off the remaining snakes that were running around our attack range, while guiding the citizens to the underground dungeon where we were locked, it seems that it also works as an area where people can stay in case of a monster invasion of some sort.

The other group was flying towards the golems that were standing up surrounding the gates. Which were closed. There was only two functioning golems that were being manipulated by fairies inside, they were standing up over the enormous gates and stopping snakes from overflooding from there, but smaller snake monsters were still infiltering inside the city from the cracks in the gates.

All of this while I was unleashing a storm of slicing winds against dozens of snakes with the power of the wind spirits, which was about to end, the powerful spell I came out with, which was like an even stronger Whirlwind thanks to the Spirit Enhancement Spell that enhances the power of Spirits and apparently their own spells, and while Belle was crushing snakes with her deadly charge in her berserk mode!

Mimy was also somehow helping, using her slimy tentacles to make some snake trip or lose balance, so Belle could catch them easily. She was even shooting saliva in their faces, it seems that such a tiny attack worked wonders, and the small Mimic was already leveling up quite nicely. Meanwhile, Loki and Silver were assisting and protecting Rita's back, who was just a few meters from me. She was surprisingly rather competent!

"HYAAA! RAAAH! Dark Bullet! Shadow Hammer!"

BAAAAM!!!

An enormous hammer materialized out of darkness on top of Rita's Staff. This was [Shadow Hammer] a special technique that combined her Dark Magic and her Staff Mastery together. She was mixing both physical fighting with her magic, all while firing dark bullets and beams occasionally. It seems that depending in the combination of Skills, new Spells or Techniques could emerge fusing both effects together.

"GRYYSSHAAA!"

However, she lowered her guard and a gigantic snake jumped over her back, the enormous creature had a mouth big enough to easily devour her! I pointed my hand at the snake and tried to shot at it, but Rita was somehow prepared.

POOF!

The snake somehow passed right through her body, as Rita reappeared as a mass of shadows behind the snake. Wow, was this the power of Dark Magic?! I think this was two Spells! [Intangibility] makes someone intangible for a second when used, and then [Shadow Sneak] allowed her to merge with shadows and reappear behind the snake. Amazing, Dark Magic is really great! Rita already got the knack of it pretty quickly too.

"Ugh, you bunch are so goddamn annoying! Die already! Black Sword Storm!"

FLUOOOOSSSH!

Suddenly, Rita used up all her Mana for a powerful Spell of her Level 4 Dark Magic Spell, using up all her Malice Orb as well. All the darkness she had gathered into several smaller masses, shaping as sharp swords that flew into all directions, piercing through the bodies of the snakes. The swords were not aiming anywhere, but tracked down the snakes and pierced through their bodies like tracking missiles!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

And to boot, they exploded afterwards, generating even more damage around the surroundings… Amazing! Isn't this a bit broken? This must be a Spell that uses all the Malice Orb energy accumulated, which takes a lot of time to refill, so I guess it is fair that its so strong if it cannot be conjured constantly, but still!

"Geh…"

However, right after that, Rita felt completely tired, an effect of using Mana right away. Unlike me who has a variety of skills that enhance my Mana recovery speed, so even when I use it all, it slowly begins to quickly recover back to full, she had her mana completely emptied.

"Rita!" I cried, rushing to her way as I commanded Belle to move to protect her. Although she probably killed over thirty snakes, over a dozen more came to eat her the moment they saw her drop into the floor.

Silver and Loki were fighting against them with everything they had to protect her. Loki used her vines to catch the snakes and make them hit one another constantly, while spreading her paralyzing nectar spray around and putting her roots underground, making them grow and sprout into many more vines.

Sometimes she just ate snakes completely while being alive with her giant mouth in the middle of her flower body. Meanwhile, Silver was more refined at fighting, unleashing a variety of whip-like attacks with the tip of her tail and unleashing lasers of highly pressured boiling water, easily boiling the snakes alive and even leaving some covered in holes. Water Magic was no joke!

"Ugeh… I feel so tired out of nowhere…" Rita cried, as I quickly lifted her up with my arms, but quickly noticed snakes approaching, Belle and Mimy already had all their attention on another group attacking us. I quickly gave Rita a Mana Potion and called forth more Spirits. I had just drank a Mana Potion when I ran to her side, so I was filled up once more, although they were already running low! I wish Acorn could be here now…

"Ugh…! Hahh… I am alright now!" Said Rita, quickly standing up and seeing me smack snakes with my weapon. The powerful Spear made out of the Branch of the Tree of Beginnings could shapeshift to various shapes through my [Plant Manipulation] Spell, and with the [Farming Tool Usage] Skill, my damage against foes was enhanced, and there is a 50% chance of inflicting Stun on a foe when hitting them with a Farming Tool!

SMACK!

[You have Stunned a target!]

SMACK!

[You have Stunned a target!]

SMACK!

[You have Stunned a target!]

I ended Stunning a dozen snakes, which I quickly took down with a rain of Wooden Spikes that I shaped out of the [Wooden Shield] Green Magic Spell through the [Plant Manipulation] Spell of the same Magic Category! These low-level spells are still pretty handy because they cost less Mana, the more INT I get, the more damage they deal, they're ideal to deal with mobs!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
