Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-135

Although Tamed Monsters seem to prioritize obeying their Masters, unlike Summons, they often take decisions themselves sometimes. Especially in such things as wanting to evolve or going to eat when feeling hungry and so on. One of the things that Mimy did right now was evolve without my permission… It was something not even Silver did. But I guess every tamed monsters got their own personality. And well, Mimy had grown big! She was now the same size as an eight- to nine-year-old child, completely clad in rusty black armor which was her shell and was standing upright like a human! And to boot, he had a small slightly rusted sword and a cracked shield. She evolved more than I thought!

(Author Note: Because Mimy is a hermaphrodite, Elayne doesn't bother staying consistent with the monster's pronouns, not like the creature minds, as it has no such concepts)

"Guguuuu!"

Mimy raised her arms, which I noticed were being controlled by thick tentacles that resembled muscles. She was rather good at moving straight away. I guess based in the shell they get, Mimics can slowly evolve it and become more specialized. Because I gave Mimy pieces of armor for her shell, she made a helmet, and after evolving, she gained an armor and even a sword and a shield. And her stats were quite interesting as well!

[Black Armor Shell], [Rusty Black Sword], [Cracked Black Shield]

Mimy not only had grown stronger in stats, but he also got… three new skills?! Eh?! Isn't that a bit too much for a little child? Well, he's no longer a larva in his race. So I guess by evolving he already grew up from that phase. Nonetheless, her VIT and STR are very high compared to the other stats, so it can be said that Mimy is a strong tank.

"Mimy you're amazing! Here, have some fruit!" I said, creating a Dryad's Gift and giving it to her. She quickly dragged the fruit inside of her armor, as her chest plate suddenly opened wide, revealing an enormous maw filled with sharp fangs, and wolfing the fruit down, closing the armor after that.

Wow, so her mouth is there, huh. I guess she could really surprise foes with that! …It was a bit scary though, Mimics are really interesting monsters, huh.

"He or she really got big!" Rita said. "Maybe you can work as our tank? I am tired of making Elayne tank all the hits with her magic, and she must be getting exhausted with that too."

"Guuuu!" Mimy said while raising her little shield, she seemed willing to protect me. She had the [Shield Technique] Skill, which seems to grant special techniques with each level. She could use them to fight and take care of our blind spots. But she has low DEX, so I don't know if she'll be all that precise or accurate, and she's also very slow. Though with [Roll], her speed multiplies by x2 with each Skill level, but she's limited to rolling in that skill form. Still, it could be a good way to get somewhere quickly if she ever wants to.

"Anyways, now that we are done, let's get going! Wind Spirits, help us, please!" I said, quickly conjuring the Wind Spirits within the Heaven Veins atop the sky, the wind spirits quickly emerged from them, materializing from the rivers of spiritual essence that I was able to detect thanks to [Dragon Vein Detection]!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Let's go guys!" I said, as Loki did her thing and used her vines to wrap around everybody tightly into a ball. "Spiritual Leap!"

"W-Wait! You're doing it again?!" Rita cried in surprise, she seemed unwilling.

"We have to go outside, so of course!" I said with a bright smile, as I've gotten used to it already.

"FOOO!"

The beautiful Wind Spirits heard my call, as they all flew below us and…!

FLUOOOOOSH!

In a mere second, we were sent through the skies! Crossing through dozens of meters in mere seconds, we found ourselves flying across the sky. But that wasn't all, if we wanted to move quickly, we had to do more than just freefalling. The barrier had a lot of cracks, so instead of trying to get through the city gates that might only bring more snakes, we'll go through the barrier cracks to the outside, and ambush the snakes outside with an explosive attack. Of course, by evading the giant snake atop the barrier!

"WHIRLWIND!"

FLUOOOSH!

I quickly conjured the [Whirlwind] Spell and flew through the skies, using [Spiritual Leap] a second time to jump even higher. I used the help of the Wind spirits to maneuver in the skies, calming down my panic by just thinking this was as game and nothing more! As long as I know this is a game, there's no point in feeling afraid!

…Right?!

"UWAAAAAH!"

Rita screamed as usual, as we finally reached the barrier and suddenly saw a waterfall made out of snakes falling over us. The sneaky monsters were probably trying to stop us from just getting out of the city! Were they being controlled by the big snake over there?

"W-Wait! Snakes!!!" Rita cried.

"Everyone, attack!" I commanded, as my three Mushroom Brigade members and my Tamed Monsters and Summons readied their long ranged attacks, unleashing a storm of long-ranged slashing blade attacks, bombarding fireballs, exploding arrows, spiky vine whips, and spiraling water arrows against the snakes!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Many of them exploded into particles of light right away, but almost half of the rest were still falling towards us, and there were many of them that could fly using wings!

"Let me help you!"

"Eh? Great Spirit?!"

"My powers are ever present even in the skies!"
