Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Cecilia was still processing what was happening. It was going to be a simple plan, one that pained her greatly, but one that was necessary to free everyone from the shackles of the Gods. One that included forcing her best friend, and the girl she loved into a Demonic Beast, the same way she had to do it with her brother.

She didn't expect her brother to survive, even less to be saved. She had already expected to pay for her sins once she died, as she believed she was doing this for a greater good, to help the rejected son of the Gods to rise back again, and to free everyone from the evil shackles of the Gods, which stopped them all from achieving true freedom.

The primary reason why people joined this ever-growing cult wasn't because they were particularly evil or hated society, but because they all saw a dead end within their society, a stagnation that they've been suffering for the last thousand years so far.

And that was only going to get worse over time.

If Cecilia had to be honest with herself, after seeing Elbedo and Hermes dying, she was beginning to regret her actions, and very badly so.

Even more when Mercedes had confessed that she loved her…

Yet, what could she do now, when she had gone so far?

She could only keep moving and fall even deeper.

Until she can finally reach her goal.

Or at least… die trying.

"You're a really piece of shit, aren't you?"

However, as of right now, she was having difficulties even making her resolve. She was desperate, fighting a badmouthed Dark Elf woman and a ridiculously strong Brownie.

"Shut UP!"

Cecilia screamed, madness clear on her face as she unleashed a barrage of attacks, her powerful Demonic and Miasmic Abilities manifested in the ability to inject fragments of True Demons inside Cursed Knives.

She controlled such knives easily as well, being able to summon them, create them, or destroy them at will by merely using Mana. This was her amazing power, and the one that allowed her to turn her brother into a monster.

"Rita, careful!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Lily barely managed to protect Rita from an incoming rain of Cursed Knives by rising a four-layered stone wall, which quickly collapsed into pieces after just taking a few hits but gave them enough time to escape.

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

"Come here…! I'll turn you two into Demonic Beasts, and then you'll become my obedient dogs. Maybe like that you'll stop getting on my way!" Cecilia's personality was slowly showing her true self, the gentle and shy girl was already just a long-lost façade. "I am getting tired of you! JUST BEGONE ALREADY!"

As she screamed, more and more knives kept materializing, Lily and Rita conjured their techniques, skills, and spells, both friends clashing against the Ancient Elf woman with everything they had. Lily conjured the defensive magic mostly, protecting them both from being turned into demons or being cursed, meanwhile, Rita took care of the damage.

"You're not going to get fucking away this time! {Abyssal Void Dragon's Accursed Claws}!"

Rita conjured three gigantic, floating dragon claws made of shadows and void, which quickly clashed against Cecilia. The elf managed to destroy two with her daggers, but a third managed to catch her, crushing her down into the floor.

BAAAM!

Rita wasn't done though, the moment Cecilia was finally pushed down, she smashed the floor with the tip of her staff, as a powerful Spell was conjured, utilizing so much Malice Essence she would never be able to gather naturally.

She was only capable of using this much because her current Divine Skill granted her a special transformation that gave her the ability to automatically regenerate Malice Energy at an incredibly fast speed.

"{Abyssal Accursed Chains Of the Netherworld}!"

A portal made of dark void and phantasmal energies opened wide behind Cecilia, as countless chains made of bones and covered on phantasmal flames and black cursed flames reached the Ancient Elf.

"W-What is that?! What kind of magic are you conjuring?!" Cecilia cried. "Are you really an Elf? This magic is even more sinister than the one the Majin can conjure!"

The elf woman kept fighting back, imbuing her daggers with Time Magic, her Time Magic in specific wasn't like Hermes Time Decay and Time Regeneration though. She had Time Acceleration and Time Overcharge instead.

Her flying demonic knives clashed against the chains before they could reach her, the moment they made contact, they exploded, spreading more and more cracks through the chains, even before they could reach her!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Dammit, this bitch!" Rita was groaning in frustration. "Keep yourself down, you little shit!"

With all her anger, she conjured three more claws, attacking Cecilia with them and quickly pushing her down with even more strength, while constantly trying to drain her Mana to stop her knife summoning abilities.

At the same time, Lily conjured countless spears and fired them at Cecilia to attempt to deal some damage to her! However, thirty knives were quickly summoned, Cecilia's maximum amount of knives she could keep up at the same time, quickly rotating them around her body and using them to defend against the incoming projectiles.

Crack, crack…! CRASH!

Most of Lily's spears broke apart, making the Brownie groan in frustration. Cecilia smiled as she kept destroying the projectiles, laughing maniacally.

"Hahaha! It is futile, you can't harm me! My powers are too strong!" She laughed.

She was able to accelerate the speed of her daggers, and with her seamless control, easily protect herself and hurt others. And with Time Overcharge, she made the knives explode with all the time imbued into them.

"At any time now, I'll free myself from your damned magic and- Ah!"

However, it was too late, she didn't realize, but the chains sneaked around her while Lily kept her busy destroying her hundreds of projectiles.

The chains wrapped around her arms, legs, and neck, draining her Mana at an even faster pace, making Cecilia vomit in utter pain as her reserves emptied almost instantly.

Her daggers disappeared.

And she finally realized how fucked she was.

"I got you, bitch."

Rita smiled.

"N-no… wait… wait a second! WAIT! PLEASE WAI-"

BAAAM!

And the last thing Cecilia saw was Lily's giant hammer smash over her head, splattering her brains into the floor.
