Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

"YOU?!" The voice of Thanatos echoed from within the huge skeletal hand, which already has become something similar to a centipede beast made of bones. "You've become… a PHOENIX?! Impossible! You were merely a Blazing Ent!"

"Blazing Ent?" Mark roared, his entire body constantly growing larger, his surroundings constantly being engulfed by divine spiritual flames! Is this an evolution caused by the Divine Guardian Skill's buffs? "Sorry, but that's already a thing of the PAST!!!"

His huge claws quickly slashed against the huge Bone Centipede, the slashing blows spreading explosive spiritual flames across its huge body, tearing it down to pieces!

SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAAASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!!!

"GRAAAAARGGHH…!"

The huge centipede groaned in agony, quickly beginning to back down as its many eyes glanced at the utter giant that Mark had evolved into…

Ding!

[Divine Guardian: Mark] has assimilated with the Crystalized Phoenix Flames, and his many Spirits to evolve into a [Blazing Infernal Phoenix Treant]!]

H-He really became a Phoenix?! Is that even a thing?!

"[Spiritual Revitalizing Phoenix Flames]!"

Mark quickly flew towards me, covering my body with golden flames that healed my wound and purified it from the nether infecting it!

"Mark!" I cried in happiness, hugging him with my hue draconic body.

BAAAAM!

"Elayne, are you okay?!" He wondered. "Ugh, can you not hug me so tightly?"

"I-I'm alright, but most of my energy is depleted…" I sighed.

"For now, rest and take an elixir!" Mark said. "We can't let this bastard get closer to the city… I'll protect you as well. I don't want to see you being hurt anymore… I love you!" He roared with frustration. "I can't let you bear all the burden anymore! I won't!"

"Mark…" I felt taken aback by his words, I felt like I was falling for him even more. "A-Alright! I'm counting on you!"

"What are you babbling about, bastards?!" The giant centipede quickly started rushing back at us. "YOU WILL ALL PERISH NOW!!!"

Its hundreds of red eyes started glowing brightly, firing terrific beams of destruction from them by the thousands!

"RAAAAAAH!"

Mark quickly spread out his wings as they blazed with powerful divine flames, and then he closed them tightly around his own, titanic body, tanking all the beams at once!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

His body was tearing down to pieces, but his blazing red feathers and his wooden flesh continued regenerating almost endlessly. Is this the might of a Phoenix?

"[Infernal Blazing Phoenix Magic]: [Purgatory Blazing Feather Rain]!!!"

He quickly spread out his wings beautifully, as thousands of huge feathers made of flames flew directly towards the gigantic Bone Centipede, bombarding its huge body, countless pieces of bones and black colored flesh started falling off it!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"GRUUUAAARRGGHHH…!" The Bone Centipede roared furiously, its entire body shapeshifting as it was being torn down to pieces. "YOUUUU!!!"

Its huge legs transformed, becoming longer, and aiding it on moving much faster, quickly surrounding Mark, and jumping towards his back! Flames and all, it resisted them, trying to bite him to pieces with his huge claws!

CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

Mark valiantly defended himself by kicking it with huge legs, which had dragon-like claws, slashing the centipede's body, and covering it on explosive flames!

Although he was really strong, he seemed to be limited in what he could do on his new evolution. Or maybe he was just as exhausted as us! The two were on a stalemate!

"Hey, are you forgetting about me, you bastards?"

Three enormous beams of darkness and void hit the Bone Centipede, throwing the beast down with huge explosions, shaking the entire mountain!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!! BOOOOOOMMMM!!! BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

The origin of this attack and the voice that just spoke was of someone very dear to me, echoing right behind us! A quick glance was all I needed to easily learn who she was.

I watched as a beautiful Dark Elf Woman wearing a black dress made of pure shadows emerge, floating in midair!

It was Rita!

However, her appearance had changed a lot, her dark skin had become almost as black as charcoal, with silver tattoos spread across her beautiful body. Her long hair became silver as well, longer than her own body, and waving around beautifully.

She gained a pair of black horns in her forehead, which grew long, glowing with magic power. And in her forehead, there was a red jewel imbuing her with even more magical might… Her long ears gained a few red scales, and so her wrists and a few parts of her neck.

Without a doubt, she had evolved…

Ding!

[Divine Guardian: Rita] had absorbed the power of the Great Dragon Scales and evolved into a [Abyssal Draconian Elf Sorceress]!]

Wait, what?! "Draconian"?!

"RITA!" I cried with a smile.

"Hey!" Rita smiled. "I ain't letting you guys steal the entire show!"

"UNGH…! YOU PESTS! How come you've all evolved now?!" Thanatos screamed in shock from within this vessel, the already very wounded Bone Centipede.

"[Malice Abyssal Darkness Magic]: [Shadow Void Dragon's Breath]"

Rita didn't even played along, she was dead serious. Her eyes glowing redder as she summoned a huge magic circle that created the huge head of a dragon made of pure darkness, opening its jaws and unleashing a devastating breath attack!

TRUUUUUUMMMM…!

The powerful beam of darkness and void impacted the Bone Centipede head-on, blasting a third of its entire body. Its huge body was thrown down into the floor, rolling over it and slowly tearing itself apart more and more…

"G-GRAAAARGHH…! T-THIS CAN'T BE…!" The monster groaned. "I must…! I HAVE…!"

Suddenly, the Centipede summoned several Undead Dragons from the ground, spreading out his Nether everywhere, the Dragons quickly merged together into huge masses of bones, attacking Mark and Rita!

"ROOOAARRR!"

"RAAAARGGHH!"

"SHAAAAAH!"

"Dammit! This bastard's still got energy to summon more undead?!" Rita panicked, firing countless beams and dragon breaths with her magic, while chains of darkness wrapped around the monsters' huge bodies, stopping their movements.

"I won't let you harm Elayne, nor anybody else!!!" Mark roared, unleashing an infernal storm of blazing feathers everywhere, which quickly consumed a whole titan bone dragon chimera!

FLUOOOOOSH!

However, it seemed the centipede wanted just that, distracting us enough for him to quickly rush towards the Dwarven City, spreading a toxic, black colored gas everywhere.

"I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO KILL YOU… BUT I'LL KILL EVERYONE HERE!"
