Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

"You won't ever get to us!"

"We will even die for our cause!"

The Ancient Elves that tried to escape were now surrounded, covered on many wounds, and desperately fighting to either escape, or deal as much damage against their foes as they could. Mark, Rita, Elena, and Lily were constantly unleashing their strongest techniques against them without going completely overboard.

However, the duo of "weak looking" Ancient Elves possessed incredibly strong Miasmic Demonic Magic. Conjuring walls of demonic flames, claws of miasmic chaos, swords of phantasmal nether, and all kinds of defensive barriers, stretching the fight for much longer than it should have lasted.

Mark kept destroying their barriers using his Sword Techniques in conjunction with his explosive, fiery strength. Elena kept chipping away at their life by dealing explosive, lightning-speed damage with her katana techniques. And Rita and Lily attacked from afar and kept them trapped within a large domain of stone and shadow chains.

However, the Ancient Elves kept relentlessly fighting, even as they received many wounds, instead of bleeding normally, black and oozy miasmic liquid came out from their bodies. They were perhaps even more modified than Arafunn, who, after having the demon inside of him "exorcized" went back to normal.

"These guys are regrowing limbs now!" Elena complained. "Have you fought guys this annoying before?"

"Yeah, we've fought a few too many, they're usually the Cult Members, or maybe the Chimeras they make!" Mark said. "This feels oddly way too similar! Is this Trial somehow connected to the Cult? But how?"

"It might not be connected directly, but I think these guys are of a similar organization, a cult of sorts!" Rita said. "A cult that is also seeking something similar to the ones we're battling in the present day."

"Hey, don't you dare escape!" Lily roared, summoning a huge arm made of stone and stopping the elves from leaping off the huge walls again, smacking them down like flies.

BAAAM!

"ARGH! Dammit!"

"Is there no way out?!"

As they complained and started to think about their choices, Mark and the rest began to talk to them.

"It's useless, you can't escape from us. Give up and surrender!" Mark said.

"We won't kill you if you surrender nicely, we'll even treat you really well!" Said Rita. "We swear!"

"Just give up!" Elena said. "Or do you want us to actually kill you?"

"Hah… Haahahah!" The two Ancient Elves, however, laughed.

"Our purpose here is already done, we've cleared all evidence anyways!"

"Even if you kill us, we will be granted eternal salvation by our Ancient, Forgotten Lord!"

Suddenly, their chests started to glow with black and red flames, their bodies unifying together into a mass of flesh, miasma, and demonic flames! Mark attempted to stop them, but it was too late, a powerful shockwave sent him flying away, as something else now stood where the two elves once were.

Their bodies merged into a single entity made of fleshy tendrils, bony plates, three eyes on their humanoid face, which was skinless, and three pointy black horns coming from atop their head. The rest of their seemingly humanoid, twenty-meter-tall body was covered on a robe of swirling miasma and demonic red flames.

"What the heck?! Were they also a demon?!" Rita panicked.

"No, that's not a demon." Mark said. "I can't sense any entity within them, they have simple merged in some sort of sacrificial ritualistic technique, becoming a demonic beast instead, some sort of monster."

"So like the cultists you guys have been fighting, huh?" Elena said, her sword overflowing with her Phantasmal Flames Aura and her Darkness Aura.

"If it has come to this, we better deal with it quickly!" Lily said.

"GRAAAAH!"

The Demonic Beast gave a loud roar, leaping off the ground at almost lightning speed, although not as fast as the other demonic entity they fought back on Earth. It appeared above them in a few seconds, its long arms stretching towards them, shapeshifting into gigantic fleshy hands covered on miasma and demonic flames.

CRAAASH!

A demolishing attack that could have easily taken away most of their health points landed over all of them at once, only for a giant made of black steel, or well, black steel-like wooden bark to stop it! Mark continuously grew larger, matching the monster's size, and growing even a bigger, but not too big as to destroy his surroundings.

He quickly took the same mighty shape he had taken before, his new Divine Transformation Skill allowed him, a Treant, to overcome his greatest weakness, being made of wood, which as tough as it could be, would always easily be torn apart by stronger physical attacks.

His bark strengthened itself so much it gained a metallic sheen, becoming completely black. His giant form looking almost robotic and mech-like in appearance, the Spirit Beast Totems fusing into his body, constantly reinforcing his stats and powers!

"Why don't you mess with someone your size, big guy?!"

His giant sword slashed through the gigantic demonic beast, slicing through its left shoulder and cutting away one of its long, bulky and stretched arms, blood splattered everywhere. The beast tried to escape, but black chains wrapped its legs down, and phantasmal Yokai conjured by Elena wrapped around his torso, weakening him and also paralyzing him.

"We are not letting you go, fucker!" Rita said.

"RAAAAGGH!"

The Demonic Beast gave a loud roar, a blast of demonic and chaotic flames erupted from its open, massive jaws, firing it at Mark at point blank! A huge explosion engulfed his entire body, as the chains and the phantasmal Yokai were vaporized.

BOOOM!

"GRRKKHH?!"

However, as the beast attempted to escape, it quickly realized it couldn't. Mark's black steel-like wood had grown into countless tentacle-like roots, wrapping around its legs and torso, and giving him a deadly hug! Alongside that, he seemed almost completely unscathed after taking that devastating attack from a Level 300 foe.

"Did you thought I would let you go?!"

As Mark kept the monster in check while the beast kept hitting him, Elena unsheathed her katana, attacking the demonic beast from behind with a myriad of blurry slashing attacks.

"{Abyssal Void Blade Fourth Forn}: {Thousand-fold Void Blade}!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Without even being able to deal any significant damage, the demonic beast was completely sliced into thousands of tiny pieces.
