Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

After freeing my pets and summons, we ran upstairs, ignoring the two unconscious guard fairies for the moment and quickly finding ourselves inside the empty halls that led to this underground dungeon. We had yet to leave this place, as I was looking for my Mushroom Brigade friends, Magius, Sporegon and Hunter, the three of them were left somewhere else around these places, but I wish I could know which place in specific! I know they were sent to a deeper level, but down where I was there wasn’t any more stairs leading even more down, so wherever they are, it is surely not there.

“What are we even looking for now, Planta?” Asked Rita. “Let’s go outside to beat the snakes!”

“No, we have to find three of the Mushroom brigade members, they were with me!” I sighed, looking around, and quickly finding there was a passage within the halls leading to another underground staircase. There weren’t any more guards, it seems that they all went to help in defeating the snakes, thankfully.

“There! Let’s go!” I said, leading Rita behind me as we ran downstairs, suddenly finding a pair of fairy guards deep down there! They easily spotted us and pointed weapons at us, special magic-infused spears. But if Rita defeated them, then they’re not that big of a deal to incapacitate, right?

“Hey! Stop where you are! Eh?! Isn’t that the Dryad we captured?!”

“Wait, that’s a Dark Elf?! Who are you? Did you freed the prisoner?!”

The two fairies looked cute even as guards, and I seriously didn’t wanted to hurt them, but we were in a hurry and I had no time to talk either, we had to deal with them as quickly as possible.

“W-We were just wandering around!” Laughed Rita, as we slowly got closer to them.

“Y-You’re dangerous! How come you infiltered our city without- Eh?!” One of the fairies realized something was odd with me, as Loki and Silver emerged from my back where they were hiding, jumping over the fairies.

“Loki! Silver! Capture them but don’t kill them!” I ordered.

“Gryshiii!”

“Roar!”

Loki used her long vines to wrap around one of the fairies, without using the venom nor the stingy spikes she had, she quickly immobilized him. NPC can use magic through special magic items or weapons or through chanting, but if they cannot chant, there’s a big chance they can’t use magic either, so Loki made sure to cover his mouth, the same as Silver. She easily crushed one into the ground and swiftly wrapped herself around him while covering his mouth, in a few seconds, both fairies, were knocked out due to lack of oxygen, barely left alive. I sprinkled a bit of healing magic over them to refill a bit of their HP while feeling guilty. 𝓫𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

“Sorry, sorry! I’ll make up for it later! I am really sorryyy!” I cried, as I healed their HP a little, both were too knocked out to even hear me.

“There they are! Come here Planta! I found your champy friends!” Rita said, as she was already in front of the ceiling where the Mushroom Brigade members were left imprisoned.

“Oh? Aren’t you the friend of our lady?”

“Achlys, right?”

“What is going on now? Can we escape or what?”

I quickly ran to help them, greeting them with a smile so they could feel reassured.

“Hey guys! Sorry for being late… Rita came to rescue me… I was a bit indecisive, I was about to be freed when snakes came and interrupted the council, so they threw me back to jail again for some reason! Ugh, that Nieve is a bit too prideful, not wanting my help…! A-Anyways, I’ll release you!”

“Ah, my lady!” Cried Sporegon. “Seeing your face fills me with motivation, please, allow me to free ourselves, don’t bother yourself!” Sporegon suddenly crushed the cell bars and opened a large enough hole for everyone to walk outside… wow, he’s strong! Wait, I wonder if I can do it too?

“I am so happy to see my lady unscathed, I was about to go and blast everyone with Fireballs to free you! I can’t believe you would allow them to treat you in such a manner…” Sighed Magius.

“There’s a limit to how they can treat you, you’re someone very important, my lady.” Said Hunter.

“You guys are always so considerate with little ol’ me…” I sighed. “For now, let’s get out of here!”

“Alright!”

With three new companions, we quickly ran outside of the dungeons, finding ourselves once more in the empty halls where the underground prisons were located. We quickly decided to run into the entrance, which was opened wide. Quickly finding ourselves in the middle of the city of the fairies. Many fairies were flying everywhere, emanating bright colors from their butterfly-like wings. The people seemed alarmed and afraid, as a large army of fairies were moving to the frontlines, and even the giant golems protecting the place were beginning to move!

“W-Woah! What is happening right now?!” Asked Magius in shock.

“The snakes from the Snake Queen are coming, there’s a whole commotion about it!” I cried.

“The Snake Queen! Naturally, after the Shadow Crow King and the Giant Walking Mushroom King revived and were defeated by our lady, it was a thing of common sense that the last of the three, and the strongest, the Snake Queen, would emerge! Is she targeting you or the fairies, milady?” Wondered Sporegon.

“Both? I think both! The System Quest, did you get it? It said something about targeting me and also the fairies. This curse slash disease thingy they’re all being infected with might be conjured by her in some way. It even implied a traitor amongst the fairies! Perhaps there was someone that ended spreading the curse first and also the one that might have weakened the barrier for the snakes to get through…” I said, as the mushroom brigade members nodded while rubbing their chins- well, they didn’t had chins.

“Everything is a bit confusing, but we should go aid the fairies. This is the ideal moment to showcase them your true strength, milady.” Said Magius. “After helping them, they’ll probably trust you as well, so it is two birds with one stone!

“True! Let’s go!”
