Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

[Within one of the many research facilities of Cloudia's Ancient Valley, a group of four researchers try their best to find a weakness that could defeat the Demon Kings once and for all, and free the world of Arcadia from their endless destruction and insatiable thirst for power.]

[Unknown to them, their works and efforts will eventually change the world as they know it and give it a last hope. However, now that this fragment of the world's memories has become a Scenario, it is your duty to help them accomplish it…]

[And perhaps, even reach a new ending.]

"I suppose you're not wrong, Mercedes… but I really, really need a break right now! After overusing my Time Magic I always feel SO tired." Yawned Cecilia. "How about we go eat something at the bar?"

"Sure, I'm starving myself." Elbedo nodded.

"Wait a minute, something is happening here…" As the group was reading themselves to depart, suddenly, Hermes noticed something.

Looking at what he was experimenting on, a hand-sized fragment of a Demon King with the color of black and red, the Divine Sunlight Aura he was using to burn it seemed to be finally working.

Its black energy was beginning to dissipate, as the light slowly turned it into ashes. The Ancient Elf's eyes lightened up, full of hope.

"Wait, it's working?!" Mercedes asked, running to his side. "W-Would you look at that, it's turning into ashes."

"So Divine Sunlight Energy when used on Demon king Fragments for over fifty years works!" Said Elbedo. "No, we can't get so happy, this isn't enough. But why Sunlight Energy in specific?"

"Maybe it has to do with the relic itself? What is it made of?" Asked Cecilia. "I remember quite well that Sunlight Energy of Divine Grade has been used before…"

"This is a Sunbeam Relic made using… Huh?"

Crack, crack…

"SHYAAGHH!"

However, before they could continue their conversation, the dying Demon King Fragment started convulsing, gaining power out of nowhere, and suddenly shattering the seal put over its body with sheer power.

CRASH!

A flood of black miasma and tentacles emerged, filling the entire research facility. The four researches quickly reacted, escaping from the building before it were to fully collapse. Their eyes widening as they saw the tiny Demon King Fragment freed itself.

Countless black tentacles spread out, covered by crimson-colored eyes. Its jaws opened from all places as the entire building collapsed. The other three Demon King Fragments they had inside also freed themselves, fusing with the main one.

An Aura of Death, Miasma, Swarms, and Floods surged from within the creature, as its roar echoed across the entire grasslands surrounding them!

"ROOOAAARR!"

"Shit, we gone and done it now!" Cecilia cried.

"Dammit Hermes, why was your seal so weak?!" Elbedo asked.

"It wasn't though?! I thought it was very strong! They never break like that!" Hermes cried. "Unless someone tampered with it?"

"Who would ever do such a thing?!" Cecilia said.

"Enough! We have to fight that thing and kill it! Don't waste time!" Mercedes said.

As this happened, the scenario around us changed. Everything somehow materialized, as we found ourselves inside of this scene. The gigantic monster started self-dividing itself, dozens of tiny Aberrations crawling out, rushing towards the four. And then, a message appeared.

[After finally being able to find some sort of way to destroy the indestructible composition of the Demon King's Fragments, an accident happens. Could someone in Cloudia have tampered with the seals?]

[However, despite their many questions, it isn't as if they could talk about it. If they let this thing escape into the main city, a terrible calamity was almost guaranteed.]

[Now that you're here, help Cecilia, Elbedo, Hermes, and Mercedes defeat the monstrous Amalgamation of Demon King Fragments before it is too late!]

[Scenario 1/4 has begun: [Defeat the [Aberrant Demon King Fragments Amalgamation: Lv300+] while protecting the four researchers from death!]

[Careful! The Amalgamation can divide itself and will send a swarm of dozens of offshoots to kill you and the four researchers. Make sure to protect them, if any of them dies, you will fail the Scenario and won't be able to enter again for 7 Days.]

[Each offshoot you defeat will give you additional score as a whole group. The more you defeat, the higher your score. However, the scenario ends once the Boss is defeated, or when the timing ends.]

[Make sure to defeat the Boss, and don't be too blinded by greed!]

[Scenario Requirements]: [Protect the four Researchers, kill the Boss]

[Scenario Hidden Requirement]: [???]

[Time Limit]: [1 Hour]

[Penalty: Because the Level of some of the Players is insufficient, their Stats have been decreased by -30% and their Skill Damage has been decreased by -20%!]

[The Scenario begins now!]

After receiving that unfair Penalty, a wave of dark red energy encompassed all those who were below Level 300, which was actually all of us! Even my daughter who was so close to Level 300 was still included. This is really annoying… Well, it won't matter either way thanks to my Divine Dishes having increased their INT and WIS, at least for the magicians.

As for everyone else, they can always benefit from the myriad of other stat buffs, as I swiftly smashed the ground with my Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool and unleashed a wave of Spiritual Energy, plants of all kinds and spirit sprouts swiftly appearing one after another, in just a split second.

FLAAASH!

"Quickly! We don't have time to plan this! Protect the four researchers! Keep that thing in place, we can't let it move!" I commanded my friends and familiars.

"Alright!" Everyone nodded, quickly leaping into action.

I mounted Belle's back as I rushed through the grasslands, quickly arriving in front of Cecilia, who was hastily conjuring some Time Magic that only slowed down the incoming monsters. Were these illusory fragments of memory representing the people also weakened to make it harder for us?

Maybe…

"SHAAAH!!"

"Aaah, shit, they're breaking through my Time Bubble already?!"

"Belle, with me! [Divine Lightning Horn]!"

My pair of golden goat-like horns were fully charged with Mana, as a devastating zap of lightning was unleashed from them, Belle doing the same, completely burning to ashes the small offshoot coming to kill Cecilia.

BOOOM!
