Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

The supposed Boss of this area of the Dragon Nest appeared, perhaps not as strong as the rumored Black Scaled Dragon, but that looked to be still on a league of her own, the Venomous Viper Drake Queen.

"GRRRHHHH… SHAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Ding!

[The [Venomous Viper Drake Queen: Lv120] has decided to stop you from stepping further into the Dragon's Lair!]

[Due to the fury of her anger after seeing her children perishing so much, she has activated her [Furious Venomous Dragon Queen Authority] Skill!]

And with her came a deadly Skill that began to disrupt my own playstyle quite a lot.

FLUOOOOOSSSHHH!!!

Her aura grew larger and larger, spreading everywhere. The terrain suddenly started to change as well, venom and poison started spreading everywhere, corrupting my own terrain quite easily…

Ding!

[While Active, the [Furious Venomous Dragon Queen Authority] Skill will automatically spread a [Dragon Venom Terrain] everywhere, which will deal constant damage to all her foes, while decreasing all stats by -30%!]

[At the same time, as long as she's within her own Terrain, all her stats will increase by a further +40% and her health regeneration speed will increase exponentially…]

"ROOOOAAAARRRRRR!!!"

The Viper Queen roared, rushing forwards. Her legs, unlike her children, were much larger, and helped her to move faster alongside her snake-like sliding movements around the cave. Opening her gigantic jaws, she started breathing a large quantity of oxygen, her throat began to swell, like a balloon.

"SHYYYAAAAAHHH!!!"

FLUOOOOOSSSHHH!!!

An enormous Venomous Dragon Breath was exuded, poisonous gases were unleashed everywhere, which even had acidic properties! The ground started to melt and become ponds of poison, the ceiling melted and even the walls! My Terrain was instantly devoured by her poisonous breath, and to make things worse, it continued spreading everywhere.

"S-Step aside! I got this!" Jenny said, jumping forward and stopping the deadly poison with her own body by spreading it all around us, creating a barrier made of her own body. "[Slime Shapeshifting Arts]: [Slime Bubble]!"

FLAAASH!

Her entire body started absorbing all the poisonous gases while protecting us, instantly cleaning the area so we wouldn't breathe the deadly poison. Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal for us Players, but if Acorn and Nieve get too poisoned, they might actually just die, and that's not something we can allow.

"Amazing, you're doing it!" Rita said. "Okay, maybe Slimes are pretty cool! I admit it!"

"Careful, Jenny!" Mark warned her.

"GRYYYAAARRGGHH!"

The furious Viper Queen didn't waited any second either, she swung her gigantic claws at Jenny and easily slashed apart her entire body into pieces!

SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAAASH!

SPLAAASH!

Her body splattered into countless pieces all over the floor, it was a horrendous sight! D-Did she die?!

"JENNYYY!" I cried in shock. "I'll avenge you!"

"I-I am not dead!" Jenny quickly rearranged herself, her HP had still taken a big hit, but she had not died…

Amazing, Slimes can even take such deadly hits and get their bodies destroyed, yet not die? They're surprisingly resilient too!

"If Queen Titania was here, handling this beast would be much easier, she had a special magic that could nullify poison, the one she used to help us against the Spider Queen." Said Nieve, unleashing a barrage of icicle spears against the Viper Queen.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"SHYAAAAHH!!!"

The Viper Queen suddenly groaned in pain, scared of the cold, she stepped back a few meters. Right! One of the common weaknesses of non-ice-type or water-type Dragon Monsters was the element of Ice! As our only Ice Wielder, Nieve was helping us tremendously.

"If Ice is her weakness and beings that can resist or absorb poison can help us handle her then…" I said, quickly summoning two more familiars. "Saphee! Silver! Come!"

FLAAASH! FLAAASH!

Two large magic circles emerged in front of us, as two enormous serpentine monsters were summoned on the spot. The silver-scaled River Dragon, Silver, and the purple-scaled great snake, Saphee.

"ROOOAARRR!"

"SHAAAAHH!"

"Silver! Saphee! Stop the Viper Queen from stepping forwards!" I said. "Silver, use your Ice Magic! Saphee! Absorb any poison or venom she throws at us!" I ordered.

"SHHYAAAAAHH!!!" The Viper Queen noticed the emergence of two new serpentine foes, both were half as big as her, and couldn't compare to her entire bulk, but were still big enough to, together, be a threat.

Especially when Mimy and Belle were also there, offering their support with lightning attacks and cursed sword techniques.

"Ah well, you might as well come out, Huginn!"

FLAAASH!

"CRAAAHHH!!!"

The last familiar I brought with us was summoned, a gigantic crow, Huginn, who exuded a powerful, overwhelming shadow aura.

"Support the other Familiars and attack from the skies!" I ordered.

"CRYYAAAH!"

Huginn flew into the ceiling in a single second, flashing through and evading the Viper Queen's deadly attacks while unleashing a barrage of shadow feather projectiles.

All five Familiars attacked her at the same time, while Saphee made sure to absorb any poison she was unleashing with her blows. For a moment, we managed to get things a bit better!

"Alright!" I nodded. "Jenny, stay with us! Mark, Lily, let's charge forwards! Acorn, Rita, Nieve, attack from behind!"

"What?! But I can fight in the frontlines!" Acorn complained. "Lady Planta!"

"I know you can, dear." I sighed. "But this is a danger I don't want to expose you into. Unlike us, you won't be able to revive if you fall, be careful!"

"F-Fine! Well, I've developed this form just for this case!" Acorn roared, suddenly concentrating his Mana and Divine Power into his chest. "[Magician Form]!"

FLUOOOOSH!

His gigantic body suddenly reduced size, as he became almost the same size as his usual form, but his tail grew to a tremendous size, and it grew a single, red jewel on top of it, emanating large quantities of Mana. The hair atop his head shaped like the hat of a magician as well, and he even grew a long beard. He swiftly grabbed his Grimoire and conjured magic of lightning, ice, and fire consecutively.

"[Elemental Triad]! [Lightning Strike]! [Frost Punishment]! [Blazing Explosion]!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOOMMM!!!

"SHYAAAAAGGHH…!"

The Viper Queen was hit three times in a row, her HP slowly going down as she glared at Acorn with fury.
