Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Mark pierced Phantasmos' armor with his dagger, which he made grow into a giant, red-colored sword using the same technique he used to beat the Undead Chimera.

CLAAASSSHHH!

Rita unleashed a gigantic beam of Darkness, which she conjured by using the gathered Malice that Phantasmos constantly exuded.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

Josuke unleashed all of his flames into the shape of a giant katana, slicing through the armor of Phantasmos with a blazing explosion.

SLAAAAAASSHHH!!!

And Rose gathered her Blood Energy into a spiraling Blood Tempest, which both surrounded Phantasmos and started slashing and attacking him constantly.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"NNGGH?! Y-YOUUU…! GRUUUUAAGGGH…!"

Phantasmos couldn't take on the enormous onslaught of the strongest attacks everybody could offer, his armor instantly shattered into pieces and his sword was completely destroyed. At the same time, his phantasmal essence was almost completely purified!

BOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

At the same time, Elayne received the gigantic attack he unleashed, as her entire body was completely consumed by the flames. All the light barriers she had conjured were instantly destroyed, her shield was blown away, and her body… was slowly turned into ashes in front of the eyes of her familiars.

"BOSS!!!!"

"A-Aggh… Nnngh… Hah… HAHAHAHA…!"

Phantasmos started to laugh through Albert's face, his entire body was tattered and half-burned, but still remained alive.

"At least… I killed her… As long as I… accomplished my goal… It was all WORTH IT!" Phantasmos celebrated.

"And that's where you're wrong."

FLUOOOOOSH!

Suddenly, from within the ground, Elayne emerged as a small plant that regrew anew.

"Huh?! T-That trick again?!"

It wasn't a trick though. Thanks to her deeper connection with her Yggdryad Body in Arcadia through the Dungeon, Elayne was able to copy one of the powers of her body there… Yggdrasil's Avatar.

By transforming herself into roots and planting herself underground, which she did when she was bouncing over the floor while evading Phantasmos fireballs, she was able to create replicas of herself, while her main core remained underground.

Alongside that, she used Blackie's Shadow Travel Magic to facilitate her travel through the shadows underground, this was the reason the little cat was not present in the fight as he was working hard to help Elayne survive.

It was a tactic she could only do after having prepared a suitable battlefield through Territory Takeover and wouldn't be easy to replicate.

However, at the end, she outsmarted him.

"Y-YOUUUU! JUST FUCKING DIE!!!"

Phantasmos furiously unleashed a shockwave of Demonic Flames everywhere, covering the entire room! However, Elayne attacked back using her powerful magic, as she channeled the power of the Gods of Arcadia once more.

"[Pathway]!"

FLAAAAASSSHHH!!!

[The Divinity [All Mother of Life and Souls] has manifested herself]

[The Divinity [Dark Lady Dressed By The Night] has manifested herself]

[The Divinity [Furious King of Blazing Flames] has manifested himself]

[The Divinity [Ruler of the Stars] has manifested herself]

[Several other Divinities have manifested themselves!]

[The Divinity [Wise King of Creation] has manifested himself!]

FLUOOOOSH!

With the power of their divinities, Elayne unleashed a shockwave of her own, spending the remaining amount of Mana she had gathered in an all-out attack!

"[Life and Light Chains of Restraint]!!!"

FLAASH!

Chains made of divinity of light and life emerged one after the other, wrapping around Albert's body as Elayne rushed towards his body, touching his forehead.

"I-It can't be…! All of them… All… the Gods?!"

Phantasmos quickly panicked as he even felt the presence of the God of Creation!

"Phantasmos, begone from this world!" He roared mightily, unleashing his powers.

"[Divine Punishment]" Elayne said, her body fully becoming the temporary vessel of all Arcadia's gods as her eyes shone brightly with all the colors of the rainbow, her hair became long and golden, and her skin gained countless divine runes all over, making her exude an aura of heavenly light.

FLAAAAAASSSSHHHHHH!!!

A gigantic divine light power covered all of Albert's body, purifying him from the evil taking over his body. Phantasmos struggled, but ultimately, he began fading away into nothingness, as his Magic Crystal was shattered piece by piece.

"Unnggh…! My King…! THANATOS…! MY KIIINNNNNGGGGGGG…!"

FLUOOOOSH!

Screaming for his King, Phantasmos was completely destroyed, without nothing left behind, not even his Magic Crystal, which was promptly absorbed by Elayne.

However, that wasn't all. Elayne took the opportunity to deal with another entity festering within Albert's body.

"W-What?! AAAAGGH! T-THIS POWER…! THE POWER OF GODS… FROM ANOTHER WORLD?!"

Hellberos manifested himself before everybody else, resembling an entity with a slightly humanoid shape made of Demonic Flames.

"You've betrayed your friends and sold your friend's body to the enemy of your world." Elayne said. "Give me a reason why I shouldn't end you right here, right now!"

"Unnnggghh…! I-I… cannot die! I am a Demon I- UUAAGGGHH…!"

Hellberos, for the first time in his life, had a taste of his own mortality as he saw his body dissipating into nothingness through the power of Arcadia's gods!

"N-No… I am supposed to- UUAAGGGH! STOP! PLEASE STOP!"

"Do you realize your own mortality now?! You are not above any of the people of Earth, there's no difference. You can die as well, Hellberos!"

"I was wrong! I…:"

Hellberos quickly began to realize that even him, a Demon so powerful, could die just as the one he was possessing. Was his own false belief of immortality what made him struggle to realize the bonds he had made and the preciousness they held?

"I am sorry… I WILL CHANGE! PLEASE!"

A demon kneeled before Elayne, asking for forgiveness.

"Empty promises won't lead anywhere…" Elayne said mercilessly, unleashing the last bit of her powers.

FLAAAAASSHHH!!!

"NOOOOO!!!"

Hellberos cried in agony, believing he was going to die.

CRASH!

However, the sound of chains wrapping his body echoed instead.

"Ungh? Eh?! W-what is this?!" He asked.

"These are Chains of Truth." Elayne said with a smile. "You will never betray him again. If you ever do, the punisher you receive will be severe. This is an assurance, so you better behave from now on, Hellberos."

"Hah… I guess that's fitting for someone like me…" Hellberos sighed. Hellberos returned back to Albert's body, as the entire hall remained in silence.

FLAAASH!

Elayne's [Pathway] Ability quickly dissipated, as she fell to her knees, completely tired. She started gasping for air, as her consciousness slowly was beginning to fade.

"Hahh… Hahh… W-We somehow did it, everybody." Elayne said, as she was greeted with Mark and Rita hugging her and Rose and Josuke running towards Albert.

"ELAYNE!" Mark and Rita cried, hugging her.

"ALBERT!" Josuke and Rose cried, hugging the unconscious Albert.

"W-We somehow made it." Elayne sighed.

"Please don't scare me like that! I really thought you died!" Cried Rita.

"You reprimanded Josuke for being reckless, but you're quite a reckless person yourself." Sighed Mark.

"I'm sorry…" Elayne sighed. "But if I shared this tactic with you guys, Phantasmos might had figured it out." She said, looking at Rose and Josuke hugging their friend while being on tears.

It seemed that despite how cold they treated one another, they really cared for each other as much as she did with her friends. She smiled sweetly, but this moment couldn't last forever.

RUMBLE!

The entire Dungeon started to break apart, as the walls shattered and black holes began emerging everywhere.

"Ah, the Dungeon's being destroyed! We need to hurry to the exit!" Elayne cried. "Falco! Can you bring us there?"

"CRAAAH!"

Everybody hurriedly jumped over Falco, as they fled as fast as possible.

FLAAAASH!
