Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Chapter 1548: Nightmare’s Endless Dance
-----
Lord Nakuna glanced from afar with a smile on his lipless mouth. He had found their struggle quite amusing, but at the end, even as hard as they battled and amazing as they were, the endless army of Nightmareborns was…
Well, never-ending.
And because they were within that Dream Cloud that couldn't move an inch forward, they were destined to die in his mind. Even if they tried coming at him, he had these two additional bodyguards with him, powerful assassins of the Black Hand with him.
"AAAAHH~ NOTHING BEATS A NICE STRUGGLE TO DEATH~! DON'T YOU TWO THINK THE SAME?"
He giggled, as his long purple tongue kept dangling around, he talked even if he bit his own tongue, he didn't mind.
"I believe things might be stretching for way too long, Lord Nakuna, why play with them? Why not take them down immediately and as swift as possible?"
"HAH~ YOU DON'T REALLY GET IT, DO YOU, YOUNG LASSIE? THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO GO DOWN THAT QUICKLY! AND THEY'RE PRETTY STRONG AS YOU CAN SEE."
"But if we combined our strength and went directly-"
"That's probably what they want, Lamina, don't let them deceive you. As long as we attack them, they are at the advantage. Their Dream Cloud and the powerful Barrier around it are actively weakening the Nightmareborns."
The young assassin woman fell speechless as her two elders seemed to know much more of her. That reckless attitude would only lead to her quick death. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"But how long will this take then?"
"AREN'T YOU QUITE IMPATIENT? IT SHOULD BE DONE IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES! THE MORE OF MY CHILDREN DIE, THE STRONGER THE AFTER-NIGHTMARE BECOMES. ONCE IT'S DONE, IT IS GAME OVER FOR THEM, HEHEHEH! AND NO RETRIES~!"
"Is your technique that strong, Lord Nakuna?"
"Hey Lamina! Do you have to talk with the Lord in such a casual and disrespectful manner?!"
"BAH! FOOLISH GIRL! YOU REALLY ARE A NEWBIE! IT SEEMS YOU'LL FINALLY START REALIZING THAT WE DON'T LIKE MESSING AROUND IN THE BLACK HAND. HAHAHA… JUST WAIT AND SEE!"
"Yes… I will wait, Lord Nakuna."
Lamina remained in silence after that, her crimson eyes glancing within her cloak at the battle happening within the Dream Cloud.
"NOW, THE EVOLVED ONES SHOULD ALREADY BE GETTING THERE~ THESE MIGHT BE A BIT DIFFERENT FOR THEM. I WONDER IF THEY CAN HANDLE THEM~? OHHH, PERHAPS THEY'LL DIE BEFORE OUR LITTLE PLAN IS DONE, GYEHEHEHEHAHAHAH!"
As he laughed, the crimson eye within his long purple tongue shone brightly, the power of the Nightmareborns continued growing stronger, as they started mutating, merging together, and evolving.
The eyes, mouths, ears, hands, hearts, and more continuously merged into aberrant mutated-looking monstrosities of tentacles, limbs, and many eyes and jaws.
"GRYYYAAAEERRGH!"
They roared monstrously, moving through space and suddenly hitting the surface of the Dream Cloud with a loud thud, their bodies were gigantic, over thirty meters each.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
The monsters began hitting the barrier angrily, as Elayne and Elena noticed them, mother and daughter quickly rushed towards them with the intention to take them down as soon as possible.
"Elena, take the one at the left, I'll take this one!"
"Sure!"
Elayne leaped in midair, her two shovels shining brightly.
She began to recall the feeling she felt before, the essence within her very being as she unleashed such techniques.
"Let's do it again then!"
Countless of tentacles, hands, and laser beams greeted her as she descended towards the eldritch monstrosity, which she could hardly believe as a Nightmareborn.
"You sure love growing big, don't you?"
She smiled, quickly pushing her shovels down with all her strength.
And then…
"{Aeternitas Divine Time Spirit Farming Tool Arts}: {First Form: Sowing the Field}!"
CRAAAASH!
RUMBLE!
The two shovels pierced through the tentacles of the monstrosity, as a field expanded in front of Elayne, the very monster's body became one.
An illusion, or perhaps a pseudo-domain was formed, rich soil expanded, a terrain was manifested over a monster's body itself.
"Good."
As she smiled, she continued the technique, her shovels dug through the entire soil, and the monster's very flesh, as giant boulders and spikes made of hard stone pierced and crushed the monster's limbs one after another.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"GRYYYAAAAAHHH!"
As the creature agonized, its gigantic eyes shone brightly, releasing countless beams against Elayne. She quickly brought over her shield, making it grow gigantic, and putting it in front of her.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The beams constantly impacted her shield, which easily reflected the attacks, helping her rush down without taking damage, while constantly absorbing energy and accumulating power into the shield itself.
And then, once she arrived at the monster's main body, her shovels dug deep into the Nightmareborn's black flesh, all while she unleashed another technique.
The Spiritual Seeds she had spread through every wound were rapidly germinating, glowing brightly…
"{Aeternitas Divine Time Spirit Farming Tool Arts}: {Second Form: Plowing}!"
Her shovels dug deeper into the monster's flesh and blood, as giant cracks spread through her pseudo-domain manifesting on top of its own body.
RUMBLE!
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!
She plowed the field, taking out giant boulders of stone that rapidly fell over the monster, crushing several of its body part instantly.
But that wasn't even the worse part, as something even more horrible happened to the monster, as its flesh began trembling, palpitating, and bursting.
"Go!"
With a roar, Elayne unleashed the second form's true power, as dozens of giant spiritual plants, roots, vines, branches, and flowers popped out of the monster's wounds, tearing it apart from the inside out.
The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed all over the creature, until it died before even being able to defend any further, quickly exploding into black smoke.
BOOOMMM!!
"How's Elena handling it?"
She quickly glanced behind her, noticing Elena's stances constantly changing as she clashed against the monster, until all of them converged.
"{Heaven Stance}!"
FLAAASH!
And her body glowed with bright white light, channeling the combination of all her stances into one…
"{Empty Blade Arts}: {Heaven's Sword}"
Her katana swung forward, as a slash made of pure white light engulfed the Nightmareborn in an instant.
SLAAAAASH!
