Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 960: Exploring The Prehistoric Verdant Continent

-----

Ding!

[You've triggered a new Auxiliary Mini Quest: {Find the One That Let The Cultist And their Artifacts Inside the City!}

[After further investigation and the usage of a special artifact, you've detected that the origin of the demonic ashes comes from the walls!]

[Somehow, someone, had let the cultist enter with their strange artifacts, forged using materials taken from the Demon King Continent. Both the marble and the ashes might come from the same source.]

[Quickly find the culprits within this time frame, before the next scenario completely begins!]

[Completing this Mini Quest might greatly change the outcome of the next Scenario!]

[Quest Conditions]: [Defeat or Capture the targets.]

[Completion Rewards]: [Large Quantity of Score Points.]

[Time Limit]: [Same Time Limit as the Break Time Limit.]

As I saw the new system window pop up, my first divided Yggdrasil Avatar already reached the Continent of Verdant, landing in the middle of a faraway savannah. The tree was perhaps thousands of kilometers away, so even with my space-skipping and flying abilities, it'll take some time to get there.

"It is all recreated perfectly here as well…" I looked around in disbelief. "I don't remember this part of the Continent at all, were there Savannahs in prehistoric times?"

RUMBLE!

However, I was quickly greeted by more company. A huge shadow covered my entire body, as something gigantic loomed above me, glaring down at me with its tiny, yet fierce eyes. It resembled an enormous Golden Lion, with a pair of red horns on top of its head. Its size? Perhaps over thirty meters of height.

[You've been detected by the [Savannah Ancient Lion Lord: Lv330] x1!]

[Careful! Its bite is deadly!]

It's bite? This whole thing is deadly!

"ROOAAARR!"

The giant lion gave a mighty roar, its Aura exuding golden flames everywhere. My little Avatar could have stood its ground and fought but… Not like I was going to do that! That would waste too much time, and a Level 330 monster is way too high! Nope, get me out of here.

"Ahaha… bye!"

POOF!

I moved my small Avatar body to the underground, escaping the lion's blazing claw swipe, which ended leaving a huge crater over the floor. I moved underground, absorbing the plants and roots I found along the way to expand my body and further expand my senses around the continent. There was a lot of raw Spiritual Energy around, mostly due to the giant roots of Yggdrasil.

As long as I can find one root and connect to it, I think I could probably move through it and regrow anew in the tree itself, so I can meet the people in the center of the continent much faster than normal.

Meanwhile, my other Avatar was just about to land on the Demon King Continent, gently reaching the black stone floor. Just as I imagined, this area was also completely recreated, amazingly enough.

"Ahh…"

And the moment I touched the ground, Miasma surged almost endlessly, trying to infect me. I quickly flew high into the air, the black goo extended itself like tentacles, trying to catch me!

"Is every place in these times deadly or is this continent like this from the beginning?!" I wondered, as I tried toe scape the Miasmic Tentacles, reaching as high as thirty meters above the ground before they gave up on catching me. "Strange, was that a monster, or this whole continent… Somewhat alive? Like Verdant, but instead of Nature, it's Miasma?"

I kept exploring the surroundings, only to get found out by all kinds of flying monsters. The weakest were Level 280, the strongest I've seen so far were Level 350! This was a nightmare to navigate through! I wished my Avatar the best luck, she had barriers and everything, but even now, I felt like I might not completely make it here.

Leaving the mini adventures of Avatar 1 and Avatar 2, I moved through the city once more with my friends, discussing about the possibilities of what we might find while looking the system window that had popped up.

"So the same quest again, capture or kill…" Mark sighed. "Let's do our best to capture him this time."

"Yeah, even if we have to break every bone out of their body… As long as they don't die." Rita smiled a bit sadistically.

With the help of Mercedes and their authority, we were able to quickly enter the fortress within the wall's interior, and converse with the General there, a bulky Divine Dragon.

"I see, so such a thing has happened? A traitor?" He wondered.

"Yes, we have a relic that could easily led us to him, but we would first want to quickly gather them together." Said Mercedes.

"Is it possible to do it without telling them this?" Hermes asked.

"Hmm… I suppose I should, yes, if it has come to this." Sighed the Divine Dragon. "Very well, wait here."

In just fifteen minutes, all the guards gathered in single area, a very large underground training ground. Mercedes wasted no time to activate the relic, a thread of darkness leading to someone hiding behind the rest.

"Why we were called here, captain?"

"Hm? What's that relic?"

"Captain, what's going on right now?"

"Hey, shut up for once and stand still!" The Captain roared.

The thread slowly reached its target, a Majin with blue skin and two small red horns popping from his forehead, alongside long, white hair. It was actually a woman of a rather high beauty, wearing heavy black armor and holding into a spear. She seemed slightly calm and honorable.

However, the moment the thread reached and touched her, her crimson eyes opened wide. She quickly realized this wasn't just another check like always.

"W-What?"

"Why is the thread touching you?"

"Oi…"

The other soldiers quickly walked away from her, as she looked confused, and slowly, panicked. Her heart started racing rapidly, and her spear suddenly charged her Mana and unleashed a beam of darkness.

"A-Ah! Dammit! Already?!" As she cried, she fired the attack without thinking it twice. "You won't catch me alive!"

BOOOM!

I summoned a huge shield made of my Barrier and my Wood, blocking the enormous explosion that blew up half of the surroundings. The ceiling suddenly beginning to fall over us!
