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



-----

The barrier shattered, and we were greeted with a huge black metallic gate, which I slammed open with a powerful kick after undergoing my [Draconification] transformation. At the same time as I did that, I started spreading my Tiles, Domain, and Terrain, all while Spirits were being summoned and plant life was spreading across the area, and of course, near-invisible spiritual barriers covered all my friends, protecting them.

CRAAASSHH!!

The moment I destroyed the gate with a single kick, something incredible seeing how it was made of a very tough, reinforced metal, we were greeted with huge, abandoned ruins, darkness filling it all. My senses activated again as I felt dozens of powerful lifeforms lurking amidst the darkness.

This laboratory was most likely made within ancient, abandoned ruins below the Luminous Kingdom's Capital, the cult didn't built any of this, they simply decided to occupy it to make their wicked experiments!

"OOOHHHH…!"

"GRAAAHH…!"

"RUOOOAAH!"

And as the large halls started to be illuminated by the light produced by my colorful aura and the spirits being summoned around me, the silhouettes of dozens of gigantic creatures appeared, their eyes glowing bright red, ominously!

Ding!

[You've broken through the Magic Barrier sealing the aberrations left behind…]

[Dozens of [Abandoned Chimera Aberrations: Lv180] have detected your presence! The light illuminates their dark world, making them feel overjoyed and hungry.]

"Abandoned Chimera Aberrations?" I wondered. "Level 180… Should be easy enough. Everyone, let's go!"

I quickly charged forward while unsheathing Gram and turning my Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool into a sword, dual wielding with two swords while immediately fusing them temporarily with dozens of small dragon spirits appearing around me, giving them elemental, spiritual, and draconic auras!

"GRUOOHHH!"

The huge chimeras, of all shapes and sizes charged towards us in that moment, two of them appeared in front of me, with gigantic and muscular arms!

BAAM! BAAM! BAAAM!!

With furious attacks, the ground below me shook wildly. However, I easily evaded their slow attacks, my stats constantly growing higher as more nature continued fusing with my body and spirits were born.

I made sure to move through a series of special footsteps, changing my stance as I reached their huge bodies, aiming my blades into one of them, reaching their chest as my speed was enhanced by my special movements.

Ding!

[The Effects of the [Heroic Swordsmanship's Footwork] Technique have been activated, AGI and DEX have increased by +200%!]

"[Exorcizing Holy Blade]!"

My swords shone with divine, exorcizing light, piercing the chest of one of the huge chimeras in a mere second, followed by another piercing blow into their wolf-like head!

CLAASH! CLAAASH!

"GRYYAAAGGHH…!"

Light started bursting from within the creature's interior, in a mere second, it blew up into golden flames, splattering over the entire ground.

"SHAAAH!"

The second chimera, with a gigantic snake-like head, reached me quite rapidly, attempting to bite my whole head and tear it off my neck, however, Gram shone with spiritual light, a single slash from it suddenly created illusions, unleashing several attacks at once!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"SHYAAGH?!"

The chimera could only give a confused shriek before it found its long snake-like neck cut down to pieces, its body still moving as its hue muscular arms attempted to catch me.

FLASH!

I evaded its muscular arms rather swiftly, and quickly pierced its chest once more, a powerful explosion of holy light purified its interior, shattering the core within its artificial heart.

BOOOMM!!

Much like the other chimera, it died swiftly.

At the same time, everyone else fought the other chimeras. Mark unleashed a barrage of blazing blade slashes, burning and cutting down a handful of them. He also summoned some of his Totem Spirits to aid us in battle and protect our slightly weaker friends.

At the same time, Gandalf conjured several spheres of electricity from his hands, making them rotate around his surroundings while defending him from the chimeras.

Each time they touched his spheres of lightning, the chimeras would be zapped by powerful strikes of electricity, slowly being cooked alive.

Acorn grabbed his Grimoire and conjured Fireballs and Icicle Spears against our foes, while Nieve froze them and cut them down to pieces.

Brisingra fought by forming a rainbow barrier around her body, which she used to strike her foes by shaping it into countless fists, she was incredibly good at defending, that's for sure.

And as of Angelina, she was a flash of bright light. I could barely see how she even moved, she was simply teleporting at this point, appearing in one place, and disappearing from another with bright explosions of light.

Her spear moved at lightning speed, piercing dozens of times each of her foes, making them explode from all the light consuming them in a similar fashion than my own attacks, albeit even flashier.

The battle ended quickly, the Chimeras' bodies were all splattered over the floor, with little left over than their dropped items.

"This entire hall seems abandoned…" I analyzed. "And most likely the next floors too." I was sensing my surroundings and quickly noticed that there were chimeras all the way down to the last floor.

"So this entire place has no cultists?" Asked Angelina.

"Yeah, I don't know if they left just now or a long ago… Though, I can tell that this is the place where they made the chimeras we fought back then." I kept walking around, finding out several giant glass tubes that were broken, chunks of deformed meat, arms, legs, and other things without proper bodies. "This is so awful…"

"We might as well clean this place from these chimeras before any of them tries to get out into the city and cause a ruckus." Mark said. "And the EXP we can earn is nice too."

"I agree." Angelina said. "Let's keep on moving then-"

"Ah! Lady Planta, look at this!" Acorn suddenly called me, as he showed me a black-colored book he found and was reading.

"What is it, Acorn?" I asked curiously.

"T-This book… It's odd." Acorn muttered, the black book's contents were written on a strange, runic language, with sharp letters and many blood-made magic circles inside.

"A-And the book cover… this feeling, is it… real skin?" Acorn muttered in horror.

"Huh?"
