Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

BOOOM!

Both techniques collided as a huge explosion of light surged, within a second, both Planta and Arthur rushed against the other even while being below the smoke, Arthur wanted to finish her off quickly, but Planta wouldn't give up, her swordsmanship techniques showed to be tremendously strong!

"{Fairy Queen's Magic Swordsmanship Arts}: {Illusory Garden}!"

Elayne quickly turned into illusions, as several of copies of herself appeared, mixing with the ones that could inflict real damage from her {Divine Heroic Dual Sword Goddess Aura}, confusing Arthur to no end.

"So many copies of herself! What is this?!"

Although he was an expert swordsman and an amazing magic blade user, he had never mastered any cloning or illusory ability, mostly because he thought of them as useless gibberish, where he would rather invest in even more damage output.

"Illusions like these won't work against me, I can already see where your real body is-"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"W-Wha- AAGH!"

Arthur groaned in pain as he was struck three times by three illusions that could actually hurt him. He had charged against them and ignored them, unable to realize some of them could actually inflict damage to him.

It was only 30% of Planta's original damage, but that was three hits connecting at once, meaning his health dropped below 60%. His Aura started trying to heal his wounds rapidly, and it worked, his health was recovering.

But Planta was going to let him.

She charged against him while a crown of many colors shone brightly above her head. Arthur quickly conjured dozens of magic circles, firing beams of sunlight against the incoming magic onslaught.

Thunder, Fire, Ice, and Winds were released from Planta's Dragon Crown, imploding against Arthur's Sunlight Rays, several explosions covering the skies as the two reached one another once more.

"{Fluttering Petals}"

Petals surrounded her again, Arthur knew this was a series of sharp, piercing blows, quickly moving towards the left to evade and then strike her exposed nape.

"Don't think you can trick me again with that- What?!

However, to his surprise, the one that rushed towards him dissipated into pink light, as the real Planta appeared by his left side, her swords quickly slashing through his golden armor, shattering it at the same time as a potent blow hit him directly, two swords struck him down with the force of a hammer.

"{Divine Holy Smite}!"

CRAAASH!

"AAGH!"

Arthur was sent flying down as he gritted his teeth in desperation, twisting his body around and quickly summoning several swords of light, firing them against Planta, who came right after him.

"Die! {Holy Sword Rain}!"

This was one of his strongest spells, capable of devastating mostly any monster Arthur has ever faced and making PVE incredibly easy and simple for him.

"{Divine Dragon Spear}"

She activated another of her [Divine Dragon Goddess' Heroic Dual Sword Arts], swinging both swords down similar to a rapier stab, the fluctuation of her energies quickly transforming into a giant draconic spear.

"Fuck."

CLAAASH!

The spear pierced through all the blades and then impacted Arthur, striking his chest and piercing it, red pixels representing blood emerged from his wounds, as he fell to the ground at the same time as the spear.

And the spear exploded.

BOOOM!

Planta saw his health points quickly decrease all the way to zero, yet for some reason he had not yet died. The smoke dissipated, revealing him slowly standing up.

"You're probably wondering why I am not dead," he smiled. "It's part of my special transformation."

The power of Arthur's Hero King Transformation allowed him to remain alive no matter how much health points he lost for one minute after losing all his health, although in this state, he was unable to heal, he would return to 1% HP afterwards.

Meaning he was immortal for one minute.

"And there it is, his annoying ability, always using it to stall fights and exhaust opponents," sighed Elena.

Planta squinted her eyes as she quickly charged forwards, her body suddenly changing, as several arms made of white wood surged from her body, quickly gaining a fiery red aura.

"Aha! Coming at me even after knowing I can't die? Oh well!"

Arthur only laughed, receiving Planta with his sword and charging forward without any regards for his health, powerful sword attacks reached her, swinging vertically and horizontally, creating endless cross-shaped slashing waves of Mana and Ki.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Yet Elayne wasn't done with her flashy techniques either, two of her free hands quickly imbued themselves with pure golden colored Ki and Divine Gourmet Essence.

"{Divine Golden Heaven Gourmet Arts}: {Defense: Buddha's Golden Wok Shield}!"

FLUOSH!

Two giant golden woks emerged out of thin air, materializing from Elayne's own Ki and Divine Gourmet Essence fusing together. The image of a golden buddha behind her appeared, surging with tremendous might.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All of Arthur's attacks ended being absorbed by the two shielding woks, as their defense and power were being rapidly reinforced, and then…

"Gotcha."

CLAAANK!

Before Arthur could realize it, both woks closed right in between him, moving faster than his own senses could discern, an instant technique!

"W-What the…?!"

He found himself trapped in between both golden woks, this battle had only become a spectacle at this point, as everyone gazing would wonder what sort of technique Planta would come out with.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Arthur roared furiously, knowing that Planta was trapping him there to stall for time! He constantly struck the woks with his blade, the giant metal lids gained cracks after cracks, until finally, they broke!

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

"Aha! No- AH?!"

However, the moment Arthur finally freed himself, he found a gigantic cooking pot beneath him, and a domain of pure golden light resembling a gigantic, divine kitchen?!

"W-What is going on right now?!"

"{Divine Seasoning Enhancement Breath}"

Planta opened her mouth, unleashing a dragon breath of golden flames impacting Arthur, and pushing him down into the giant golden cooking pot.

BOOOM!

"Ugh- ARGH!"

"You needed some seasoning… Now."

Then, Elayne's many hands channeled Divine War Essence and Divine Gourmet Essence at the same time, her buddha-like aura changing, becoming a demonic, red-skinned azure, wielding a knife and a fork, constantly sharpening them against each other.

Arthur couldn't help but feel tremendous fear, like nothing he had ever felt before! In his entire life he had never been conceived as a prey to this extent. It wasn't Planta that was there anymore, but a very hungry dragon.

"What are you doing?!"

Arthur quickly tried to free himself, only to feel the soup of the pot wrapping around him as if it were a sentient slime creature.

"I'll cook you up. {Offense: Kali's Crimson Fork}! {Mixing: Asura's Rampant Cutting Knife Slashes}!"

The demonic draconic aura laughed maliciously, its giant arms moved down as a giant fork pierced Arthur's body, before the knife were to start cutting him into pieces.

CRAASH!

"UUAAGH!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"S-STOOOP!"

His immortality kept him alive, as he endlessly regenerated back together, but Planta kept cutting him and piercing his body, seasoning him to perfection.

"Guahah… GUAHAHAHA!"

The monstrous demon behind her moved its long tongue with hunger, as the cooking pot closed, and then, it released draconic flames.

FLUOSH!

And the pot started boiling, Arthur inside screaming in agony until…

Until he stopped struggling.

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

The cooking pot shattered into pieces, as Arthur's dead body fell into the ground, covered on soup and vegetables.

This was perhaps the most humiliating death that any player had ever seen in their entire lives.

"Bon Appetit."
