Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Chapter 1616: Blood Stance

-----

"CRAAAAHHH!"

With ferocious roars, the Mage Owl Bears conjured magic against Elena, powerful, spiraling and slicing winds reached her, while wooden spears surged from the ground, attempting to impale her from beneath.

And yet, Elena’s powers absorbed her foe’s blood, transforming, her Aura of Azure Color changed, her stance becoming more aggressive with her sword pointed at her foe.

"{Blood Stance}: {Scarlet Fury Frenzy}!"

Channeling a new evolved stance of blood, Elena leaped towards her foes, avoiding the magic with her dexterous and agile movements, sometimes cutting the wind and the wood with her new technique, Scarlet Fury Frenzy, which released an explosion of blood ki against her foes.

"HAAAAH!"

Until she finally reached the Owl Bears, moving her hands so fast while running that she resembled an endlessly cutting storm of pain, each slash stronger than the previous one, while slicing all her foes constantly. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

As she moved, the Owl Bears could simply not keep up, Elena was a literal killing machine, each slash grew stronger as their blood fueled her Blood Stance, sending her into a frenzy.

She moved around, resembling a crimson blur that cut through all, not even the trees were safe, being cut apart instantly as her domain combined with her stance, further evolving her technique into something utterly dangerous!

The Mage Owl Bears couldn’t keep up, their magic useless against her, as they were cut down to pieces one after another. Elayne’s daughter continued her massacre, as her mother glanced from afar, amazed, albeit worried about her.

"Elena’s growing so strong so quickly...! I’m happy, but at the same time, I can’t help but feel worried... Blood Stance, huh? It does sound interesting and strong, but it feels like she’s entering into a frenzy or berserk state... I better do something to keep her head cool."

Elayne waved her hand towards her daughter, as a bright light encompassed Elena, a bright Summer Spirit Guardian Halo appeared above her head, the spiritual energies of the light element kept her mind cool, helping her regain her consciousness.

"Ah...!"

As she stopped fighting, she realized she had singlehandedly slaughtered over a hundred Owl Bears, and also a large part of the forest... the giant, ancient trees were all cut down, the fairies weren’t going to be happy about this.

"Ugh... My body..."

She groaned in pain, falling onto her knees as she felt every inch of her body aching to hell, overusing the Blood Stance must have put a deadly strain on her physique. This new Stance was perhaps her strongest aside from the Heaven Stance, as it accelerated her Blood Flow, enhancing her senses, strengthening her muscles and reflexes, and making her super-fast and strong.

However, to keep it up, she had to have a lot of blood from her victims available, and she couldn’t activate it right away either, as she had to feed her blade with blood, starting with the Water Stance first. However, in scenarios such as these, it was a perfect stance... the only thing was that the immense amount of stimuli through her entire body accelerated her thought process and made her mind burn out, turning her berserk.

"Are you alright, dear?"

Once the Owl Bears were dealt with, Elayne walked towards her daughter, touching her shoulders as she rapidly healed her strained body.

"Y-Yeah mom, I just... I might’ve gone a bit too far."

"I can tell... let’s take a small break before we continue. I bet you’re hungry, you must have spent a lot of your energy. Eat these."

Elayne offered her daughter some of her Yggdryad fruits, which Elena hesitated to eat at first, but ended eating nonetheless, the hunger and thirst she felt after overusing the Blood Stance were really bad.

The group regrouped at long last and took a small break while talking about what they learned or how they were able to grow, although it was just the beginning, some of them had managed to tap into new strengths.

"Alright, we’ve hunted two hundred and thirty seven Owl Bears, but there’s even more everywhere," Elayne said after storing all their hunt. "Let’s keep going, this isn’t ending any time soon!"

The group rapidly picked up their pace, moving through the forest and rapidly beginning to encounter larger groups of Owl Bears, with more variants. There weren’t just Mages anymore, but Warriors, Berserkers, and even smaller, agiler Rogues.

What’s weirder, they were imbued with a strange power, which Elena had detected seemed to have dark origins... and which seemed to originate from the center of these woods, which nobody had ever explored yet.

Elayne, while slaying hundreds of Owl Bears with her team, made their way to the center of the woods in time record, the strange and bizarre energy only becoming more intense with each step.

Until...

"What’s... that?"

Elayne’s eyes widened, as she witnessed what must have been the "culprit" behind the Owl Bear’s reproduction and their frenzy.

Glowing with crimson and purple light, it was a large, ten-meter-big crystal, which was encompassed by black wooden branches as eye-shaped fruits hung from them.

The strange tree absorbed this energy and spread it through the depths of the forest through their roots, further worsening the entire situation.

As this happened, the Owl Bears constantly devoured these fruits and also were affected by the irradiated, strange energy, becoming larger and more hyperactive, reproducing and growing faster too.

"I don’t know what that is, but we have to quickly destroy it! It is what’s causing all of this mess!"

Elayne and her party rushed towards the crystal, but Owl Bears rapidly started chasing them and surrounding them, attacking fiercely, trying to protect their strange crystal.

As they fought desperately, Elayne launched her shovel towards the crystal, aiming to destroy it while fighting the Owl Bears!

CLAAASH!

And yet, when her shovel hit the crystal, it ended being reflected by something else... Her eyes widened, realizing a powerful barrier protected the crystal.

"I don’t know how you even got here, but I won’t let you touch my master’s creation!"

And it seemed that, behind the crystal, there was someone protecting it.
