Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 782 The Child From Heaven

-----

I heard the screams of a child outside of my door, and immediately ran to see what was happening. With just a thought, an invisible hand made of Mana opened the door for me, as I stepped out of my house to find something beyond my expectations.

A little girl… or a boy, not older than seven years of age in appearance, with pale white skin, long blonde hair, and silver-colored eyes was above the floor, covered on tattered, torn apart white clothes.

There was a half-broken halo floating over their head, and one feathered wing over their back, while the other was missing, and only a huge and terrifying wound was there, bleeding something resembling liquid gold.

"P-Please.. help… me…"

Tears flowed from their silver-colored eyes, a faint aura of divinity surging from their tattered body. I didn't know who they were, or why they were here but…

I would never hesitate to help a child in need.

"That's…! It can't be!" The Great Spirit was surprised by the sight.

However, I didn't sit down to listen to her words, as I rushed towards the child, embracing her in a cradle of spirit wood that grew around her body.

I combined several healing spells and protection spells into a single, powerful combined spell, which I imbued with Angelic Blessing too.

"[Yggdrasil's Holy Cradle]"

FLAAASH!

The cradle encompassed the child, constantly covering them on a healing aura, while also dropping little droplets of my healing sap over their wounds.

"Ahhh…"

The child quickly opened their eyes in surprise, as their life was quickly being healed in mere seconds. They seemed more surprised than I imagined.

"Y-You can easily… heal the wounds of an Angel such as me?" They muttered. "But aren't you… you're not one of my sisters? Guh?"

"Angel?"

Before I could get any other answers, a terrifying presence surged from the other side of the streets, my Spiritual Eyes glanced into the distance to notice a huge black cloud rushing here.

"You can't keep getting away…!"

FLUOOOSH!

The darkness came accompanied with a dozen dogs made of black and red energies, barking madly at us, and rushing here…

Amidst the enshrouding darkness, I noticed the silhouette of someone, a very tall and lanky man, with black hair and red eyes and unusually long arms and fingers!

All my senses were ringing that this being was dangerous, and that it had terribly ill intentions against the two of us!

"Hoh? Did you come all the way here to ask your sister for some help?" The entity laughed as it drew closer. "You foolish little angels, do you think that you stand a chance together? And what with you? Why are you possessing the body of a human? Are you perhaps even weaker than your little sibling here? GAHAHAHA!"

"What…?!" I still felt confused, but I stepped forwards, standing in front of the cradle of wood, protecting the child. "Who are you?! Leave this place at once! If you dare trespass my Territory… I will not be responsible for what happens to you."

"Now that's rich coming from you pathetic Angels, after you were almost slaughtered by us, you are trying to act brave?" Laughed the entity. "If I can manage to devour the two of you, ascending into a Demon Lord shouldn't be so hard!"

"A Demon?!" I asked. "You're a…?!"

"Yeah, I'm a demon, took you long enough to realize?" He asked, his entire aura growing larger. "I've already been snacking on that little one for a while… So just give it to me, maybe I'll spare your life… How about it?"

"You just said you were going to devour me beforehand… As if I would ever believe the words of a monster that eats children!" I roared angrily.

I quickly took out Irene from my inventory, the Staff I had crafted glowed with a bright aura of spiritual and holy light.

"Oh, you finally called me for some action, Master!"

Irene was rather happy to be brought outside of the Inventory for once, but I ignored her words, there were more important matters.

"Is that all you've got?!" Laughed the Demon. "Infernal Jackals, tear her down!"

"GROARR!"

The dozens of wolves made of his Demonic Energy leaped towards me in a mere instant, their entire bodies blazing with infernal flames.

The only time I fought a Demon was back with John, when he was possessed by Phantasmos. Their abilities are incredibly powerful, and their Demonic Energy is like a poison to most living beings.

However, they have a very exceptional weakness…

And that's literally the elements I wield most proficiently!

I grabbed the shovel-shaped staff that was Iren with a very tight grip and activated several spells and techniques at once. Auras of Spiritual, Draconic, and now Angelic Energies converging within my body.

"I told you to stay away from my territory!" I roared. "[Holy Light Spirit Smite]!"

With a mere swing of Irene, I activated her Abilities [Great Spiritual Explosion] and [Elemental Spirit Resonance] at once, combining them with one of my strongest holy light attribute spells.

CRAAAASSHH!!

The effect was instantaneous, as an enormous wave of pure holy light and spiritual energies exploded in front of the jackals leaping towards me.

Their bodies were immediately disintegrated, they weren't even able to scream before they disappeared.

FLAAAASH!

Only ashes started falling from the skies after that single attack, the Demon right behind them opened his eyes in utter disbelief.

"W-What the…?!" He screamed. "My Summons… destroyed in mere seconds?!"

"And you're next if you don't go away." I threatened him, pointing the shovel at him.

"Heh.. HAHAHAHA!"

He only laughed, however, his body suddenly growing larger, leaving behind his human-like appearance, which he probably used to camouflage within our society, until he became a five-meter-tall red-skinned and muscular demon, with two sharp black horns growing over his forehead.

"You dare threaten ME?!" He laughed. "FOOLISH ANGEL!"

His gigantic fists descended upon me in that moment, as explosions of infernal flames reached me, making the whole street tremble.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
