Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Out of nowhere, Tomas saw his master become bewildered, coming back to him and telling him to escape as fast as possible.

What he had learned regarding the Magician Tower was something beyond his imagination, that the Wizards here had not only dealt with demons but experimented with their souls and even used them to fuel their powers was simply insane.

Even worse when he learned they wanted to do the same thing with him and his disciple… These were simply things he couldn't allow to happen.

"M-Master?! Wait! I can't! T-The tower…! It means all for me! I can't abandon it!"

However, the moment Gandolf tried to drag Tomas away, Tomas hesitated, resisting.

"But Tomas, they're demons! They don't want to help you; they're going to devour your soul and use this city to-"@@novelbin@@

"He's over there! Kill him!"

"W-What?!"

Tomas panicked, as he saw dozens of magicians surround Gandolf, pointing their staffs and wands at him.

"Bastards! Don't you think I'll die so easily! Tomas, run! RUN!"

"A-Ah…!"

But in that moment, the moment that mattered the most…

Tomas didn't run.

He was paralyzed, he didn't know what to do.

In one hand, this was his dream, he was earning a lot of money, his future looked bright.

And in the other, he was worried about his master, he was talking nonsense but…

Could that be the truth too?

At the end, Tomas' greatest mistake was his hesitation.

He felt a hand touch his shoulders, as he felt even more paralyzed.

"Tomas, don't listen to that old man, he has gone insane."

Merlinus himself was right there.

"M-Master Merlinus?"

"Your master has been cursed by a demon and have gone mad. Don't trust him, we must put him down before it's too late. There's no cure for such a thing unfortunately."

"E-Eh? No, but he said that-"

"Hm? Do you have… a problem with that, boy?"

"A-Ah…!"

Tomas looked at Gandolf, as his master fought against all the magicians with his three-elemental magic, explosions of elements erupting everywhere.

"Don't believe him…! Tomas! Run…! You have to run away!"

As he saw his master dying as countless spells reached his old body, Tomas started crying.

"Don't you dare run, or your mother will pay for that."

Merlinus whispered one thing into his ear, and Tomas finally realized.

That nothing had changed.

As he saw his master die, he realized that his life, even now, was never something he could control.

And that it would always remain below the mercy of others.

"M-Master…"

This wrath, this rage, this demonic fury continued growing within his heart, flowing through his entire body.

Tomas eyes glowed red, the Demon they had put inside of him, the monster they had turned him into, all because of his own weakness, started to awaken.

His madness that surged within his head, suddenly overflowed.

"UUAAAARRGGH!"

As he screamed furiously while the demonic door's hand came rushing down, an explosion of demonic flames erupted from his body.

BOOOMMM!!

Everyone in the scene gasped in disbelief, as they felt an immense demonic power surging from Tomas.

"I've had enough… Haaah… I'm tired…! Haaah… I can't… hold it any longer…! Haaah…!"

His arms had managed to hold back against the demonic hand, and even started burning it.

His entire body began to transform into his demonic form, as the demon within him started to take over.

"Yes… Give your mind away to madness! You're mine! Your body is mine, Tomas! Now- UGH?!"

However, glowing chains made of golden divine light surged from Tomas body, wrapping around it, and restraining his powers.

FLAAASH!

"Aargh…!"

The chains burned and hurt, but they also granted him a different power, his full demonic monster transformation came to a halt, as he remained half-human and half-demon, with horns, demonic scales around his arms and legs, and a large musculature improvement, with glowing red eyes and long red hair.

"T-This is…?"

The golden chains wrapped around his body merged with him, moving as Tomas regained his consciousness, remaining within a state between normalcy and madness, of total balance.

"I-Impossible…!" The Demonic Door screamed. "THIS CANNOT BE! YOU… YOU HAD A DEMON INSIDE?! AND YOU'RE CONTROLLING IT?!"

Tomas felt an endless source of power flowing through his body, as he glanced at his own clawed hands, and then at the Demonic Door.

"I won't hesitate anymore…" Tomas had changed, his face remained calm, his eyes furious. "My life is only mine… And I won't let anybody else control it anymore. I'll crush you, and avenge Master Gandalf!"

TRUUUM!

Tomas stepped forward, destroying the floor beneath him as his massive, scaled fists reached the Demonic Door, punching it, and blowing several holes through it.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

"UUAARRGH!"

The Demonic Door screamed in agony, as it quickly manifested countless arms and tentacles everywhere, pushing Tomas away!

CRAAASH!

"Y-You bastard…! Urgh…!" The Demonic Door groaned, bleeding everywhere. "Don't you dare... GET COCKY!"

Countless crimson eyes opened through his body, the last eyes he had saved, firing lasers from them at Tomas.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

And yet…

Tomas was barely damaged, the natural demonic armor around his body, resembling a dark red exoskeleton with eyes and jewels, protected him quite well.

"Everyone! I'll distract him!" Tomas said. "Please, help me defeat him!"

Anna, Angelina, Monica, and Elisa were left in utter disbelief at the scene.

But they nodded, nonetheless.

"Sure!"

Tomas gained a new resolve, as his demonic powers emerged from within his soul, and thanks to Planta, they were finally below his control.

What he had thought to be his curse had now become his greatest power and weapon, one he planned to use to finally stop the world and destiny from trampling over him and those he cared for.

"So you're a member of the guild?!" the Demonic Door asked angrily. "Why?! Why are you fighting against me then?! And why is the Demonic Soul within you… Suppressed?! How is it possible for a human to do that?!"

"I was also someone that became possessed, someone who was forced to fight for them, but no more!" Tomas roared, as Demonic Ice covered his entire body, forming an icy armor as he clashed against the Demonic Door's countless limbs. "I will fight for my own convictions now, for what I believe! I will no longer be forced… I am no longer the slave of someone else!"

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
