Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-879

CRAAASH!

Kalma's Incarnation proved to be much stronger than Elayne imagined. Packed with an invisible veil of divinity that protected her from all normal and spirit magic with ease. And with a tremendous bony body capable of easily ripping her wooden body to shreds. If Elayne hadn't transformed herself into wood, she would have surely died if she were made of flesh. In fact, even then, she felt the pain and agony much more than in her Avatar back on BNLO.

This was because unlike her Avatar, she could only partially transform certain areas of her body into plant matter. Therefore, she had to be careful to transform in time before she was to receive a very terrible wound that might kill her instantly. This was her life on the line, no longer just an Avatar that can revive.

"I got you!" Kalma laughed with a predatory voice, her giant jaws going down towards Elayne's ripped apart body, about to devour her and her soul in a single bite.

"[Yggdrasil Spirit Wood Spear]!"

With a furious roar, Elayne used the other half of her body that was cut down, her waist and legs, and transformed them completely into wood. A huge wooden spear surged from beneath Kalma, hitting her so hard even with her barrier that she was pushed into the air. An explosion of spiritual energy engulfed her barrier, making it glitch slightly.

CRAAASH!

"Tch…! Little tricks like that won't work on me!"

Kalma swiftly regained her composure, chasing after Elayne after seeing her recover her two legs rapidly, and flying into the skies with her draconic and angelic wings. Her whole body leaped with swift movements and agility, the bony claws catching to Elayne and tearing both of her wings, making her fall from the skies right away.

"Hahaha!"

As Kalma laughed, thinking she finally got her. Elayne remained calm, her eyes blazing with draconic might as she pointed her Staff-Shovel, Irene, towards Kalma's chest. She noticed a large concentration of phantom and divine power there. Most likely her core.

"Your barrier can glitch once it is hit with something very strong… You're not invincible." Elayne said. A split of a second later, a gigantic magic circle appeared over Irene. The Power of the Great Spirit of Harvest fusing into her body. The abilities of both her spells and her equipment activated, combining together into the giant aura in the shape of a massive dragon made of golden light and wood. All their powers combined into an incredibly complex circle that the Great Spirit helped her to create. "[Heavenly Yggdragon's Spiritual Breath]"

A flash of bright golden light engulfed Kalma's Incarnation, a tremendous beam of golden flames, heavenly light, and celestial essence clashed against her. She sensed thousands of lesser spirits and lesser dragon spirits fused into this technique. The Goddess of Decay tried to fend off the attack, only to see her two arms disappear into ashes. Her invisible veil slowly fading away before the explosion of light.

"W-What…?!"

BOOOMMM!!

Kalma's incarnation rolled over the floor, creating cracks across the entire mall. The wall was barely holding back, and the floor was already covered on many fractures and fissures. Holes leading to the underground were opening. Her arms were destroyed but the rest of her body seemed only slightly damaged though. It looked as if she could make an infinite number of bones, as more kept popping out of thin air, trying to replace her lost arms.

"That was strong, but not enough, young goddess."

Kalma rushed towards Elayne a second later. Elayne had little time to react, swiftly combining several Spirits together to create a new temporary Divine Spirit. A giant golden sword appeared out of thin air, shining with divine brilliance. It was Caliburn, a Weapon Spirit she had summoned before back in BNLO.

It absorbed the power of countless Light, Holy Light, Dragon, and Fire Spirits at once, fusing with her Heaven's Sword Spell to create itself temporarily. She quickly swung it together with her Irene on her sword form, clashing against Kalma's crazed charge, which spread Decay everywhere she touched.

CLAAASH!

However, Elayne's swords were not affected, and her body was taking a while to be affected as well. Her shield equipped on her back, and the rest of her equipment having all activated their abilities enhanced her durability to completely new levels. A powerful armor of golden scales and golden blazing flames covered her entire body.

"Where are you getting these powers? They don't… come from within you!"

Kalma had little understanding of "equipment", even less of what Potential Cubes could create in this world, when brought from BNLO. Elayne used this to her advantage, exploiting their power to their maximum effect while imitating the swordsmanship arts she learned back in there. Everything she had learned so far was working together, creating a synergy.

"[Heroic Swordsmanship's Footwork]"

She moved swiftly. Her steps moving forwards and backwards. Kalma's attacks were constantly missing her or being blocked with [Heroic Parry], she was unable to understand Elayne's erratic yet aggressive stances and footwork. It felt as if she was dancing with her two swords, while her Draconification continuously grew stronger by fusing with her equipment's Yggdragon and Dragon Abilities.

"YOUUU…!"

CRAAASH!

Kalma lost her patience, swinging her claws against Elayne while spreading a wave of black rotting decay against her. However, Elayne was waiting for this moment. Both of her swords overflowed with Celestial Essence and the lasts bits of Mana left in her, and then absorbing her Yggdragon's Golden flames.

"[Exorcizing Holy Blade]"

SLAAASH!

A flashing slash of pure exorcizing light and golden flames erupted out of both of her swords, shaped into a cross. The attack immediately broke through Kalma's wave of decay, purifying it and making it disappear. It followed by clashing against her invisible barrier and shattering it temporarily, slicing through her chest. The concentration of energy there became increasingly unstable.

BOOOM!

"How can you…?! Ugh, where did you learn these… Skills and Powers?!" Kalma groaned. "I have to kill her quickly! Before she attacks me while my Core is vulnerable!"

As an explosion of light and golden flames engulfed her body. Kalma swiftly attacked back against Elayne, knowing full well she could finish her off at any time. Her Aura transforming into a titanic black scythe, swinging against her!

SLAAASH!
