Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-138

Suddenly, the Great Spirit decided to aid me in the battle. I really thought she was just sleeping, but nope. She suddenly said "Grand Harvest", and well, what happened afterwards was truly not something I expected, but should had expected!

All the tiles I ended converting into [Healthy Soil] began to sprout with life. Countless plants began to emerge one after the other in mere splits of a second. They were not trees or vines, but veggies and fruits! Tomato plants, potatoes, carrots, giant radishes, eggplants, watermelons… Wow! So much!

"This is the true power of a Farmer, my dearest! The path you've chosen is one filled with the embrace of nature! Now, learn what's its all about!!!" She proclaimed. Countless vegetables and fruits of enormous sizes began walking out of the soil, attacking the snakes and making more room for all of us to get closer to Titan's team.

"What is this?! Walking veggies?!" Asked Titan.

"Amazing! This is the power of Lady Planta!" Acorn proclaimed.

"Our lady is insuperable!"

"Amazing! Great!"

"Phew, we are saved…"

"I'll cook those vegetables later!"

Apparently, the ability that the Great Spirit used was named [Grand Harvest], and it could only be used in Health Soil Tiles. It infused Mana and Spiritual Essence into the ground and create giant vegetables and fruits based in all the seeds I've created, because I didn't saw any unnatural thing there, they were all stuff I made myself! The vegetables were around one to three meters big, and could walk through root-like legs and arms they used to fight. When they reached a target, they also sometimes exploded, dealing large quantity of area-of-effect damage.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"T-The tomatoes are exploding?!"

"Look, that potato too!"

"An apple just bombarded the snakes…"

"So this is the true power of this magic?!"

"Wait, no! I wanted to cook them…"

The Mushroom Brigade was as talkative and lively as ever. At long last, thanks to this unexpected little army of veggies and fruits, we made our way towards their group and quickly joined together into defeating all the snakes.

"I never thought I would see such an insane amount of mobs here! This is crazy! Did you provoked this event to happen somehow, Planta?" Titan asked while fighting.

"Eh? Me?! No, I didn't!" I said desperately. "I was more like… caught into it! And then an event quest showed up, I swear!"

"So that's what happened…!" Titan said, using his fists to crush a snake coming for him.

SMACK!

"Then the main quest is to exterminate all these critters? How long are we going to take though? They're way too many!" Titan cried.

"Yeah, too many, this is getting tiring and boring!" Rita said. "Although a bit desperate too."

"The numbers are reducing severely as we fight, there must be less than five hundred by now." I said.

"There's still too many of them!" Rita cried. "How come that Queen can make so goddamn many? Does she lays a thousand eggs each day?!"

"Game logic." Sighed Titan. "Don't try to come out with an excuse for it, they probably just spawn infinite mobs and that's about it."

"Yeah, don't overthink it and keep killing. The more we kill, the more EXP we'll accumulate! Whenever we evolve and change classes after this, we'll get tons of levels!" I said celebrating things. "We have to get the perfect ending of the quest to get the most EXP though, but it is definitely worth it!"

"Huh, then let's put all the effort we can!" Titan roared, as he summoned more of his Elemental Beast Spirits, special beast spirits that Druids such as him could summon. They represented the animals of nature and the elements that represented them. They were not as powerful as summons that could level up and grow, but they grew stronger the more he grew stronger, so they were a useful little army.

"Great Spirit! Can we summon more veggies? I want to send an army to protect the gates and keep the snakes at bay!" I said.

"I was able to use Grand Harvest because I had accumulated enough Mana. I can absorb Mana from the environment over time, so I'll tell you whenever you can, but it usually has a cooldown of a few minutes, and it varies a lot! Thanks to all these monsters, I can absorb a lot of Mana, but when there aren't many, it would take me hours to refill. Nonetheless, wait a bit more! Keep swinging that Shovel and make more Healthy Soil in the meantime!" The Great Spirit said, as I nodded and quickly began unleashing shockwaves that stunned several targets.

Titan, Acorn, and the rest of the Mushroom Brigade were left stunned as well out of the shock of seeing my physical attack being so incredible. Although the damage the shockwave dealt wasn't enough to one shot the monsters, it left the stunned and ready to be picked up by other attacks, the 90% Stun chance by itself was already broken enough.

"W-What is that attack?! I never thought Farmers could do that with a Shovel!" He said.

"It is the Farming Tool Usage Skill! It's not really a Technique Skill, it merely grants enhanced proficiency using farming tools, more strength when using them, and 90% chance of stunning targets, the shockwave is only a 70% chance, but it activates most of the time anyways! Also, the soil turns into Healthy Soil where more veggies and fruits can sprout through Grand Harvest, it all goes together. I think I've figured out a good way to play as an offensive Farmer!"

The words I said shocked Titan and the rest. Although they didn't knew the norm or "meta game" of the online game and only saw people with classes as something they were born with, Titan was obviously someone that has explored the game's forums to an extent.

"That's so amazing! Maybe even my Druid can get better then? I'll have to try out everything I got! Beast Spirit Combination!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, the five Summoned Elemental Beast Spirits of Titan merged together into a gigantic multi-elemental chimera beast spirit!

"ROOARR!"

Wow! This was the one he used against the Mushroom Hero, didn't he?! It's so cool!
