Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

Planta wanted to take advantage of how uninterested on them was Focalor to prepare to battle him, and before they could do anything to him, she wanted everyone within the vicinity to evacuate as promptly as possible, as Focalor was someone capable of directly extracting the souls of most people with ease.

However, she noticed that anybody strong enough was able to resist this power, and he had to take direct action to take the souls.

She was terrified of his powers, furious, and sorrowful of the people he had just killed and eaten, but now she couldn't just panic and go at him without a plan, even less in the middle of a largely populated area! She had to take things slowly and be cold headed if possible.

"Understood!" said David. "Please, your majesty, come with us! We must evacuate quickly!"

"I won't, David! I must fight that thing too; I shall protect my Kingdom!" the King said furiously, his golden armor shining brightly. "So-"

"Your majesty! I recognize you're strong, but most of such power is coming from the armor I gave to you!" said Goldanaba, stepping in. "Honestly I am not strong enough to participate on this either, but I would rather bring you with us. Someone must take care of little Prince Gustav while your wife fights! Also that throne is for her, not you!"

"A-Ah…!" the King muttered, shocked.

"My husband! It is no time at all to be talking about being a hero here. You will give me that armor and I will make good use of it," said the Queen. "Take Gustav with you and go with David to a safe place, away from here! Hurry!"

"But…!"

"Are you not going to listen to me?!"

"No, honey… Okay, I will go!"

The King was easily intimidated by his wife's rage and let go of the huge golden armor covering his body, which went directly to the Queen's side, floating as the golden throne it was before.

"We're not weak, but not strong enough to fight that thing either," said Horshen. "I'm afraid we'll leave! But we'll help anybody we find to evacuate! And if there's any critter, we'll crush them too!"

"I am afraid I must retreat as well, I deeply apologize, Lady Planta," said Erdragon.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"And that's fine, you may go!" said Planta with a nod.

"Thank you, and please be careful!" Erika said. "Use any of our equipment if it can help!"

"Y-Yeah, please be careful!" said BlackEye. "I might be a Player but there's no way I can fight that thing…"

As Planta saw those that had to retreat run away with the King, Gustav, and David and his knights protecting their backs, Planta noticed that Melisa had yet to go anywhere.

"Melisa, you aren't going too?"

"I can fight that thing…"

"H-Huh? You can?!"

"I think so…?" Melisa muttered. "I might not be high level right now, but that power they use… It's somewhat related to my curses! And I can control Cursed Energies and Negative Mana due to my evolution. I think I know what I am… My evolution is cursed because I became something like a Demon, like the actual demons from Hell.

That Dungeon I ended falling to was also filled with demonic relics, pentagrams, and demonic beasts. I don't know why a dungeon like that was there to begin with, but I think the demons plan to turn people into vessels, I became something like that but… I'm not a vessel!"

"H-Huh? Is that so?" Planta was a bit confused, but she got the gist of it.

Melisa had indeed visited a mysterious dungeon when she started playing BNLO, after going through its trials and dying and reviving over and over again, once she finished it miraculously, she was rewarded with her unique evolution.

And indeed, the powers within Melisa were both cursed and demonic, hence why her aura was so intimidating, and why whatever she touched would always become cursed as well if she wasn't careful. If she said that the power of Focalor was related with Demonic Curses, perhaps she could truly help somehow.

"Yes, so please trust me, I got that feeling!" said Melisa. "Like… like I'm somehow made to fight em'!"

"O-Okay then, if you're so brave about it…" sighed Planta. "But be careful and don't be reckless, stay behind us!"

"Yeah!" nodded Melisa.

After that, Planta hurriedly expanded her Domain even further across the entire city of the Luminous Kingdom. By sending two of her avatars to the west and east and by using their physical bodies, every step they made spread more and more of the domain.

Why was she doing this? For a simple reason, she needed as many spirits as possible, and also by creating more of these powerful spirits, she was able to easily evacuate people by quite literally kidnaping them out of their houses and forcefully dragging them away.

"Uuaaagh! What's going ooon?!"

"Help meeee!"

"What the- Woooaaah!"

Most of the people started panicking and screaming as colorful spirits of many elements, even dragon spirits, started grabbing them and flying or running away as quickly as possible.

"Please understand! We're evacuating the city; there's a dangerous demon and you must run away!" a gentle water spirit said, she had the face of a motherly fairy.

"We're doing this for your safety, so please stop kicking my face rooaaarr!" a grumpy fire dragon spirit groaned as a fat man he carried was constantly kicking his face.

"I am not a kidnaper, please just let's hurry outside!" sighed a bird-like light spirit that carried a group of children away. "You can meet with your family afterwards! We must procure everybody's safety!"

Planta would never have the Mana to do all of this, but thanks to the specialized Skills she possessed, the more her domain expanded, the more Mana she got back from it and the faster her regeneration of Mana would become.

"Okay, now that this is over… the equipment everyone made! Here, take these!"

She quickly started distributing every wonderful item that the craftsmen created for the competition.
