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

-----

"E-Eh? What is this?!" Florie asked in disbelief, slowly stepping backwards.

"These are the Gates that lead to the Abyss of the Underworld! Enjoy them!" Rita laughed.

CREAAAK…!

The enormous gate opened, as an eternal abyss of pure darkness emerged from within, and then, countless of tentacles with red eyes attached to them began to attack Florie, coiling around her Darkness Barriers!

This sight is just as frightening as back then! But if we let her get dragged inside, wouldn't Florie end up dying?! We have to let her be weakened, but not dragged into the gates!

"GYAAAAAHHH…!"

Florie screamed in pure horror and fear, as the tentacles entangled her barriers and began to break them one after the other, all while dragging her into the gates of the underworld, each second that her barriers were being touched by those tentacles, the barriers were breaking, and her HP and MP were being drained as well, just like it happened with the snake yesterday!

"No…! Stop! T-This is…! STOOOP!" Florie cried in horror, trying to crawl away, using her powers to attack the gates, but the tentacles loved her darkness, and absorbed it in an instant. Her barriers finally broke, as the tentacles captured her small body, absorbing more and more of her energy, but not crushing her.

"Ugh, this shit is hard to control!" Rita said.

"Rita, you can control this spell?!" I asked.

"Kind of! I am just going to drain her of all the MP she got and then drop her there! It is up to you and Titan to knock her down for good before she does anything funny!" Rita said. Her Satiation and her MP were all being drained away by using this Ultimate Dark Magic Spell, so she was putting her everything into this.

"Alright!" I said, quickly running in front with Titan at my side.

Titan suddenly gave me a small MP Potion, this was the Beginner Potions he had been saving for himself, but he shared one of them with me.

"Here, drink it! Let's make a wooden cage after she's out of MP! Use your MP to shower her with your spirit energy, I think that might purify her completely!" Said Titan.

"Alright, let's bet on it!" I said.

"AGGHHH! Let me go!"

Florie cried angrily, attacking the tentacles with her bare hands and legs, she had gained superhuman strength out of nowhere, but this was not enough to destroy the Abyssal Tentacles of the Underworld. Suddenly her MP finally reached zero, as she suddenly grew weaker as all her dark aura disappeared. The tentacles also turned into black smoke alongiside the gates, which closed and disappeared.

BAAM!

Florie fell over the floor, slowly trying to crawl back. Her MP was already recovering at a frightening pace, so we had to quickly stop her before she got any more dangerous!

Titan and I hit the ground with our foot and shapeshifted them into enormous roots that began to spread through, quickly reaching Florie and creating a large cage trapping her inside. She tried to fight back with her sheer physical strength, but our wood had grown more and more resilient as we entangled it together constantly, making it hard for her to damage it completely.

"Great Spirit! Use all my MP, purify her, please!"

"I think I can do it! Grand Harvest it is, dear!"

The Great Spirit festively celebrated the MP I gave to her, as she suddenly shone brightly, shapeshifting into an enormous tree?! She extended her roots over the cage, enchanting it and unleashing all her spiritual power, which was like the brightest like I could had ever seen.

FLAAASH!

"AAGGH…!"

Florie cried the more she was bathed in this light, as all the darkness within her began to slowly dissipate, the strings connecting her to whoever was behind this, which I assumed might be the Snake Queen, began to snap one after the other, until the last one finally snapped!

SNAP!

"A-Ahhh…! Aggh…! Ugh…"

Florie gritted her teeth, as the tattoos covering her body faded away, and the strange physical changes on her also turned into ashes, turning her back to how she looked like before. She immediately fell asleep inside the cage, her HP was barely 5%, but she was alive.

"I-Is that it?" Titan muttered, sighing in relief.

"I-I think so…" I sighed.

"HAHH…" Titan sighed, quickly falling over the floor. "Man, I want to take a break after this…"

"Likewise…" I said, sitting over the ground.

I noticed Rita over the floor as well, we barely managed to do it.

Nieve was still rather alright, as she flew towards us and quickly checked Florie after making sure we were alright.

"Florie… I-Is she okay? What did you do?" She asked.

"I purified her darkness… the Snake Queen was most likely controlling her through a Curse, but I uncursed her." I sighed.

"Y-You did that?!" She asked.

"I don't think I can do it so leisurely… So please, don't get excited… We have to leave healing the curse to Acorn." I said while resting over the floor.

"R-Right… Thank you for not… killing her… I… A lot of things just happened. I am trying to just… process everything…" Nieve sighed.

"It's fine… Phew… I am just glad things turned out to be alright as well." I sighed with a smile.

Ding!

[Act V] of the Event Quest has been completed]

[After you've saved Florie from the Curse that had made her a puppet of the Snake Queen, you've managed to not only gain the trust and loyalty of Nieve, but also of the Queen of Fairies and the Fairy Kingdom by itself! Now move back to the Fairy Queen Castle to receive her regards and help heal Florie and the Fairies completely, the final Act is approaching…]

Oh, the quest was finally completed… Huh, I feel like the System is just ordering me around. Well, it is not as if I wasn't going to do that eventually, so you don't really need to tell me, System.

Nonetheless, after everything ended, we ended resting for a bit over the floor and then, we slowly walked back to the Fairy Queen Castle, all while several priests ended purifying the area from the miasma so it wouldn't spread out.

"So Florie was being controlled by the Snake Queen all along?" Wondered the Queen, looking at Nieve.

"My Queen… I am willing to take any punishment in her steed! I will hold responsible for my little sister's sins…" Nieve said, kneeling before the queen.
