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

-----

Way too many things were happening at the same time. From the Demon King being ultimately summoned by the death of Jeremias, to Mark almost dying to the whole "the game is no longer real" stuff and now Acorn's had gone nuts and he became a giant divine squirrel!

And as if things couldn't get any worse, the entire forest has mutated and all trees have become Monstrous Miasmic Treants and are attacking literally everyone! I am so worried about what might be happening in the surface I might die!

Ah, and did I mention that Titania has a wonderful idea? Well, at leas we can rely on the Fairy Queen for her resourcefulness. Her powerful Spiritual Eyes or something were able to see through the Second Body of the Demon King of Miasma and she found a weakness. The only hope we have, even with all his strength, Acorn seems to only be stalling for time until his transformation is turned off and then he gets… probably killed right after that by the Demon King.

We can't let that happen!

Titania first came with the idea as she saw how I was summoning so many Spirits constantly. This was thanks to the combination of various Skills I held. However, the more desperate I grew and the more I battled to expand my Terrain, the faster my MP recovered and the more Spirit Sprouts appeared as a result.

I think I found a cheat in this game; with this method I can start an endless loop of MP Recovery and Spirit Sprouts Creation! All while the other skills I have which activate below certain conditions also boost our stats through the roof, such as Daughter of Nature because of the Tiles I take over turning into [Forest] Tiles and so on!

"With this much… surely, we can do it." Titania said, feeling reassured. "We have to help Acorn, as long as he has that Divine Power, we could beat the Demon King."

"Beat him?! But how can we beat him?" Nieve wondered. "And he has Divine Power? So that's the white energy coming from his body! It is very strong, but it feels like Acorn is not yet prepared to wield it…"

"Yeah she's right!" I said. "We need to help Acorn… But we also need this new strength he has acquired… But how can we kill the Demon King to begin with? Isn't he invincible or something? Also his Level is way too high than ours."

"Well, that body is not the real him, that's why we can… We can't kill the real him, but this body of his can be destroyed. His body is weak compared to his true body trapped in the Dark Continent, the more damage he has taken, the smaller his mass has become." Titania pointed out.

That's right! I had not realized it. As we battled against him with all my Familiars, the Demon King's body continued growing smaller. Perhaps he needs to consume Miasma or wait to produce more to recover his body mass.

"He might had prepared a lot of power for his reserves, but he's ultimately running low… By merely glancing at him, I can feel it. He has a Crystalized Miasmic Core, much like the Miasmic Beasts we had been fighting… It is the source of his power." Titania said.

"You mean that as long as we break it, we can beat him?" I wondered.

"No… If we manage to break it, he'll surely die." Titania smiled.

"Die for real?" Asked Nieve.

"Well, I have no idea if it'll work for his Main Body, but his second body will surely perish… He didn't prepared this enough and has done things hurriedly." Titania smiled.

"That Core he has…" I said. "Is it the same sphere Jeremias was holding before?!" I wondered.

"Yes, most likely. To create a second body he had to first create that sphere, it is like a second heart for him." Said Titania.

"I see… Then we have to try it out. However, his shapeshifting powers and all… He's really troublesome." I sighed. I noticed more and more Spirit Sprouts continued to pop up from the surrounding Terra. "I guess we can always ask for the help of the Spirits. Titania, Nieve, can you cover my back? I'll charge forward with the Spirits but I'll need your support."

"Sure." Said Titania. "Leave it to me. I've also decided to bring something…" Titania suddenly materialized a beautiful rapier made of pink crystal. "This is the Second Legendary Sword I made, only I can wield it now, as it was made with a piece of my crystalized soul and tears. I call it Soul Piercer. As long as you give me an opening, I can pierce through his soul and weaken him, we might open the way to his Miasmic Core like that!"

"I've also received my Skadi Rapier from the rewards of the battle against the Snake Queen." Nieve said. It was one of the gifts she got alongside a Player Benefits Title such as being able to see her Status, being able to distribute her stat points and skill points, having an Inventory, and so on. "This sword contains a small part of the soul of Skadi, the Goddess of Ice and Snow. It has been awakening and growing stronger as I slain many foes and it absorbed their EXP and Magic Power. The very sword is telling me that I must fight the Demon King, she probably has some sort of Ability."

"I see that sword is indeed incredible…" Said Titania. "The power of the System is helping us even now when the Demon King has managed to find a way to ignore the boundaries and restrictions the System set over his body… I suppose the System itself might be trying to incentivize us into defeating something that is violating its rules. Or perhaps, the very gods…" The Fairy Queen wondered. "Alright, Planta, are you ready?"

"Been ready for a while now!" I said with a confident smile.
