Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 869 Desperate Survival

-----

"You're trying to do too many things at the same time, filthy spirit!"

"You've opened the way for us, gahaha!"

The two Blighters suddenly glowed with black light, their entire bodies undergoing a transformation. As they became thrice as large and started to smell like rotten corpses. Their humanoid shapes changed. 

The one to the left became a giant black wolf with black and gray fur, with only a single crimson eye, the other was empty, with a black flame coming out of it. And the Blighter to the right transformed into a giant gray bear, decaying and with one hand made of bones, roaring furiously.

"They turned into Undead?!" Elena reacted, quickly leaping into action to stop them. "Stop!"

Her Aura transformed into the shape of three blades, which flew towards the Blighters as fast as possible. One of them pierced the wolf's back but seemed unmoved by it. The other two missed hitting the larger bear, who moved incredibly fast for its size, evading the two attacks. At the same time Elena tried to touch the ground, expanding her phantasmal flames into the ground.

"BURN!"

With a ferocious demonic roar from her transformation's effects, phantom flames surged, trying to stop the Undead Beasts from touching her friends. And it seemingly worked. She focused with all her might, and then changed the phantasmal flames into walls of blue fire.

FLUOSH!

She shaped a spell into another, she was grasping the true power of Magic! The Blighters were forced to step back, only for them to smile and leap back towards her!

"Fool!"

"We just wanted you to expose yourself!"

While laughing maliciously, the two powerful Blighters attacked Elena. The wolf kicked her head with its back legs, blowing her away. Her nose almost broke. The bear ran towards Elena and then swung its skeletal claw, almost managing to slash her into pieces before a cloud of black and purple dream energy stopped him.

CLAAASH!

"Tch, begone, spirit!"

The two Blighters furiously attacked Morpheus, destroying his cloudy body, the scythe, however, remained untouched. It quickly rushed down to slash the two of them. But the Blighters simply evaded his slashing attacks with their superior speed and animal senses.

"Dammit, you bastards!"

As Morpheus distracted himself dealing with the two, their leader smiled, her body descended towards Elena as fast as she could. Her sharp black wooden claws pointing at Elena, as she grasped the girl's magic aura.

"You're one handful of a girl. But the harder it is to get to you, the more worthy is the hunt."

He claws imbued her Decaying powers into Elena's aura, who tried to escape from her, only to feel her entire body become incredibly exhausted. Her Magic Aura was absorbed completely, leaving her with no Mana at all. A strong backlash hit her, making her fall to her knees while vomiting blood.

"Ugh… AGH!"

"Yes, squirm." The Blighter woman smiled. "That only makes it more fun~"

"ELENA!"

Anna's voice echoed right in front of Elena, as she saw her girlfriend running to her side. She was but a mere human, no magic powers, no spirits, no nothing. She ran towards her help, even if she knew it could all be in vain.

"N-No… Run! Run, Anna…!"

"Leave her alone!"

Anna cried, quickly grabbing a nearby chair and throwing it to the Blighter woman, who quickly grabbed the chair with her claws and then threw it away. Her sharp eyes squinted at the girl.

"You are of no importance. Leave now if you do not want to become my lady's offerings." She said. "What is more important? Your life or the life of another person? Even if you happen to love her… Emotions are but a passing thing. You will end up realizing it was all for naught at the end."

"What are you talking about?!" Anna cried angrily, quickly trying to grab Elena, only for an invisible force to stop her from moving. "Ugh… AGH!"

She felt her breath had emptied; her body became completely paralyzed. The gaze of this sorceress alone was like an incredible pressure, something she couldn't fight. Tears streamed from her eyes as the sorceress lifted her off the ground.

"If you want to become her offering so badly, so be it." Laughed the woman. "Now, join us, decay and rot!" 

A green flame surged from the woman's other hand, as it rushed towards Anna. Elena's eyes widened, her heart beating faster than ever before. Her Soul flared as if it were a flame, fueling her powers. She began to instinctively use the power of her own Soul, consuming it bit by bit to gain more Mana.

"STOOOP!"

With a desperate and roar, Elena's hand materialized a sword. One she had never seen before, made out of her own Soul, flashing with bright golden and blue light, slashing right through the Blighter's long arms, slicing it off with ease. A splatter of red blood covered the ground, accompanied by the deafening scream of the Blighter's agony.

SLAAASH!

"W-What the- GRYYAAGH!"

The woman screamed in agony, as if she had ever suffered pain in hundreds of years. Desperately stepping back, Elena didn't let her even move, her Soul Sword flaring with powerful light and darkness, she moved swifter than the wind.

"DIE!"

With a ferocious roar, the Blighter's eyes widened. For a split of a second, she felt utter fear! She underestimated the girl and was going to pay for such a foolish act! She stepped back again, evading another slash attack, and realizing the girl's sword was her soul itself.

"Soul Magic? You're putting your soul out, just to protect your friend? How cute!"

Mocking her, the Blighter moved swiftly, turning into a giant black crow and flying up, opening her sharp black beak and releasing a sonic beam, hitting Elena and blowing her away. Elena quickly hit the ground, her sword was dispelled and so was he transformation, rolling on the floor right next to Anna.

BAAAM!

"Ugh… Fuck…!"

"E-Elena!"

As Anna tried to help Elena somehow, the woman appeared above them once more. Her lost arm didn't hinder her, replacing it with one made of black wood and fungi.

"I lost an arm; your life force better be tasty enough…"

Her claws were about to reach her, before a green turtle almost fell over her body.

TRUM!

"We see again, Blighter."

"Filthy Druid!"
