Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

The team quickly realized that once burned to a crisp, the aberrations didn't revive again, and would no longer become part of new monsters. The strategy now was quite simple, they had to swiftly eliminate all aberrations by burning them or completely disintegrating them, while making their way back to the Hell Gate, and close it!

"Albert, we've also closed something similar before." Elayne said. "So don't think you have to do everything.

"You have?! When?" Asked Rose, while surprised.

"Can't say when, sorry." Elayne winked at her. "More importantly, first of all, I need to secure the perimeter! We can't let these monsters walk outside of the area and end up swarming the rest of the city and endangering the civilians."

"I know, around fifty SWORD Agents, some of the freshly recruited hunters, are gathering around us." Said Rose. "They're making a fence with their bodies and the tanks that the military is bringing along. However, I am sure that won't stop those things. They're at least as strong as C Rank Monsters!"

"That's why I need you to buy me some time." Elayne said. "Before closing that gate. I'll be closing this entire area so those things can't escape into the rest of the city!"

"Okay, what do we do?" Albert asked.

"Just defend me. Elena, Monica, you stay right behind me and cover my back." Elayne said. "I gave the two of you bags with Mana Potions, ten each, use them moderately as your Mana runs out."

"Okay mom!" Elena nodded.

"I-I'll do what I can!" Monica said.

"Elayne…" Mark walked towards her.

"Dear, you'll be in the front." She said with a smile. "Rita, Lily, can you be to my right and left?"

"Sure!" Rita nodded. "Whatever, as long as we can get this done."

"I'll use my magic to cover you!" Lily said.

"I'll be your shield." Mark said, his eyes blazing with flames, as wood kept growing over his body, his size quickly increasing.

"What about me?!" Jenny asked.

"Jenny, you'll have the hardest job." Elayne said. "With Albert and Rose, stop the hands from attacking us."

"What?! Me?! The hands?!" Asked Jenny. "I-I'm a newbie! I can't do shit like that!"

"You can partially become a slime, that's already amazing." Elayne commented. "Use your acid to shield everyone as much as you can. I'll be counting on you. Slimes are overpowered after all."

"T-That's…" Jenny sighed, she never thought she would be saving the world out of nowhere since this month began. But a lot has happened, too much, perhaps. "Okay. But you better pay me after this."

"Hahaha! Okay, I'll pay you if you want." Elayne giggled at Jenny's snarky personality. "How about a few million?"

"At least a hundred million!" Jenny groaned.

"If money is what you want, SWORD will later pay you for your services of protecting the city." Rose added. "Don't worry about money. We'll at least pay you a hundred million."

"Holy shit! Really? Okay, I'm fucking pumped up now!" Jenny was carrying several mana potions inside of her body, not having digested them yet.

"You two, take these too." Elayne said, she was already beginning to expand her Domain as she continued to hit the ground with her shovel, greenery and spiritual essence spreading towards all directions.

"Mana potions?! The same you gave to everyone… No way." Albert was shocked.

"These are the real deal…" Rose said.

"What? Are they so rare?" Asked Elayne.

"Of course they are! Mana Potions are incredibly hard to create. Mana by itself is still an energy that we can't fully comprehend yet. To be able to create a concoction that can restore it is insane." Rose said. "We'll pay you back for these!" Rose quickly took the bag of ten potions.

"Same." Albert said. "So we protect you, nothing else?"

"Yes, this is just the beginning though- Ah, they're here! Careful!" Elayne said.

At that moment, dozens of giant demonic arms descended towards them. Most of them possessing either jaws, eyes, or both inside of their palms. They swiftly attempted to crush them with punches or slash them apart with powerful claw attacks.

"Come at me! I'll stop you! I am Elayne's shield!"

The entire group leaped into action. Mark became as large as he could after popping up ten mana potions, tanking six hands by himself. His body was being constantly destroyed, but he regrew it back and sliced and crushed the hands attacking him.

"Don't be so reckless!"

"A lot of blood, I can work with this."

Albert and Rose rushed towards him. Albert conjured chains, restraining the gigantic arms and pushing them away, while Rose abused the blood everywhere and the open wounds of the hands to absorb them, and then generate a giant crimson tornado of blood, reducing several arms into meat paste.

"You're not getting close to my bestie, you demonic fuckers!"

Rita fired her magic gun everywhere, giant cannons of darkness releasing with each shot, as the aura of a ferocious Blue Dragon emerged from her body. Explosions of darkness blew up the aberrations trying to get towards Elayne, they knew something was happening there.

"No, I can't let you pass! Move aside!"

Lily conjured her earth magic, creating huge fists made of stone and enormous walls made of rock, stopping their advance and crushing as many as she could. Her own pickaxe harnessed her prowess, as she unleashed devastating attacks that generated mighty tremors across the streets.

"A-Alright, time to try this shit out!"

As the hands descended rapidly from spots Mark, Albert, and Rose couldn't take, Jenny absorbed all mana potions at once. And then even devoured the corpses of the monsters nearby. Her body slowly turning completely into a giant dark purple blob and spreading everywhere.

The hands that touched her blob-like body instantly started to melt, they immediately pulled back. Trying to pass through the crevices, only for more slime to greet them. Jenny was doing her best to catch them. But even then, the aberrations slipped through her smaller spots.

"Now's our turn, Monica!" Elena summoned a sword made of darkness and covered on phantasmal flames.

"O-Okay!" Monica nodded, shadows surging from the palms of her hands. "I-I'll do what I can!"

As the two girls battled the creatures, Elayne's eyes flashed with rainbow light, spiritual energy constantly rushing down.
