Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Within the endless abyssal darkness there was a sea of blood, and in this sea of blood, a gigantic demonic monstrosity was devouring another.

A large door-like creature with tentacles, its massive jaws tearing it apart into pieces, eating it to regain even more of its original powers.

"S-Stop! Don't eat meeee!"

CRUNCH!

"Why?! Why are you eating me? We are fellow demons!"

CRUNCH!

"Uuuaaagggh! Stooop!"

CRUNCH!

The monster devouring the door stopped for a moment, glaring at him with his nine glowing eyes, piercing through its very existence.

"Fellow Demons you say?"

The monstrosity smiled.

"Precisely because of that! Why must I give excuses to eat you up, weakling? Become my sustenance!"

"Uuuaaarrggh!"

CRUUUNCH!

Tomas slowly opened his eyes, realizing he was fine, and then how he was hugged by everyone.

Angelina was happy to see him and hugged him without hesitation, most of her strength had finally been recovered after she went all-out rather dangerously.

Anna was just fine, although her fused Familiars had gone back to normal, and looked quite tired, except for the Golem.

Monica looked alright, although she was a mess after crying so much, and her hair was all messy too.

Elisa quickly composed back, although her face clearly looked a bit redder, she had almost started crying like a baby.

"Everyone… Ah, sorry… I… I didn't know I would've died. It's my fault." Tomas sighed. "But the Demonic Door is finally gone, isn't… it?"

"Yeah, it's gone, all thanks to you, Tomas!" Said Angelina. "Please, remain here, you're still missing an arm, and you're in no condition to fight or even move anymore."

"I'll leave my Familiars to protect you," Anna said. "If danger approaches, they'll fight for you and one of them will grab you and escape."

"A-Ah… But the Demonic Formation, I need to go as well!" Tomas said. "I might be the only one that could help you destroy it quick enough… Sorry, maybe it wasn't the best to die after all… Without me it might've been hard."

"Hmph! Why are you playing so much as the self-sacrificing hero?" Elisa asked. "We're all here risking everything to win. You shouldn't had gone out of your way to die…"

"Yeah… Elisa is right," Monica nodded. "Tomas, please don't be so reckless again… You're our friend after all."

"I'm… your friend? Really?" Tomas felt moved. "I… I've never had friends, now that I think about it…"

"Wait, seriously?!" Anna asked. "Jesus, this guy is really quite something! Anyways, Wolf, carry him!"

"Woof!" The Emerald Storm Wolf quickly grabbed Tomas and pushed him over his large, fluffy back.

"We can't waste any more time!" Angelina said. "Let's get going now!"

"Uh, yeah!" Nodded Monica.

"We better hurry!" Anna said. "Let's go, Tomas!"

"Y-Yeah!" Tomas nodded, looking at the scar left where his left arm was. "My arm… Did you use Elixirs on me?"

"Yeah we did! Most of them!" Elisa said. "However, I guess NPC have a different regeneration than us Players, you can't easily regrow limbs, can't you?"

"Yes, I guess its more complicated," nodded Tomas. "Magic and even Potions can heal large wounds if applied on large quantities, refill holes and even fix broken bones and stuff, but whole missing limbs is another whole different magic, it's more on the Life and Biomancy Fields, which are quite rare. Usually if you have enough money, you have to find a Priest or Priestess of the Goddess Gaia, who specialize on Life Magic and Biomancy, and they'll be able to recover your missing limbs by helping the cells of your body multiply and grow, I've heard that even then, it's a slow and slightly painful process…"@@novelbin@@

The truth everyone didn't know about was that NPC were much more "realistic" than Players, who could regenerate any missing limbs after healing back to full.

They couldn't easily heal, and if they took too much damage they would simply drop dead too, therefore the difference between Player and NPC was very big.

Of course, that wouldn't be the case if Tomas had the "Honorary Player" Title, although he still wouldn't be able to revive like Players, he would gain various of their abilities. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Such abilities included being able to see their own Status, and also these supernatural regeneration abilities that made Players so strong, among having access to Skill Points, Stat Points, and Skill Trees, and even being able to choose how to evolve and rank up their class.

But even then, it was dangerous as NPC could still die easily, therefore Planta had taken the decision to leave all of their beloved friends from this world back in the Forest of Beginnings for this battle.

"We're almost there!"

The group descended rapidly through the stairs, reaching finally a large area, a gigantic underground hall. It was completely dark, but the moment they got there, blue, will-o-wisps were lit, illuminating the hall faintly with their phantasmal light.

"W-We're finally here!" Tomas said, looking into the distance. "That must be it!"

Everyone gasped as they saw the "Demonic Formation" that had been boosting the power of Merlinus, his Demonic Wizards, and had been allowing him to unleash this gigantic Domain he had created to trap everyone inside.

The Formation itself was massive, spanning over a hundred meters underground, it had the shape of a pentagram, surrounded by over a hundred Demonic Idols made out of crystalized blood and the bones of human sacrifices.

The Demonic Idols resembled monstrous and abhorrent forms and shapes, each one was a Demon, and within them, everyone could immediately feel it, they had Demonic Souls as well!

Surrounding the formation of one hundred Demonic Idols, there were countless Demonic Runes and Pentagrams made out of red colored crystal powder, most likely blood too, and also white powder made of strange crystals, which Tomas realized were crystalized human souls.

"This entire thing… It was made using hundreds of human sacrifices… their bodies and even their souls, nothing was spared…" Tomas muttered, feeling disgusted. "It's… disgusting… Ugh…!" he could barely hold the desire to vomit.

"Wait, what's that thing?" Anna asked, pointing at something at the center of the whole formation.

It resembled a huge statue of some kind of demon, it had three legs, four heads, and one long, snake-like tail.

"It must be the Core, another Demonic Idol that-"

FLASH!

Before Tomas could speak any longer, the Demonic Idol's eyes shone bright red, firing two laser beams at the group!

BOOOM! BOOOM!
