Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Chapter 1565: Time To Take A Break
-----
After everything that happened, Elayne, Mark, and Rita finally had some time to talk and rest from the intense battle.
"That crucified guy sure acted tough but still got his shit beaten out of him," laughed Rita. "He was weaker than Merlinus, wasn't he?"
"Definitely weaker, he didn't have as many powers and hidden trump cards…" Mark said. "If that's already one of the five fingers of the Black Hand, then the other four are going to be a joke. Unless he was the weakest and the rest are the true challenge, like that type of cliché?"
"Probably…" Elayne said. "We shouldn't lower our guards even when we reach the island. If they somehow got here already, who knows if they're there as well."
"W-Wait, what?! So we have to look out for possible enemies even there? I just wanted to chillax for a second!" Rita complained.
"Rita! I already told you before that this wouldn't be an easy trip and you still decided to come," Elayne said. "So please stop complaining."
"O-Okay… I was just… saying…" Rita sighed.
Elayne quickly moved the giant Dream Cloud through the skies, until slowly, they descended over the island.
The beautiful island was a gigantic blue, pink, purple, and white colored forest, where all kinds of colorful, dreamy plants that could never be found elsewhere.
There were countless sparkles of light everywhere, constantly shining brightly and flying everywhere, some resembled the faint silhouettes of Fae, Fairies, and Spirits.
And above all, there was a large tree with blue bark and white leaves, which were actually all small flowers, it was the largest, at over fifty meters of height, towering above the rest of the forest.
Surrounding the large tree, there were thousands of tiny silhouettes, of spirits, or well, of their dreams, wandering around aimlessly, cutely.
Eventually, these tiny spirits that weren't really spirits began gathering around the Dream Cloud with curious expressions on their faces.
"So this is the island! Does it have a name?" Elisa wondered, approaching the barrier to walk down, but being unable to exit the Dream Cloud. "C-Can't we walk into the forest?"
"Not yet, dear, first let's take a break," Elayne said, looking around. "This place is also really huge… It looked small from where we came from, but it's massive! Perhaps around the same size as the entirety of the city of Quebec?"
"Probably bigger…" Mark said. "Yeah, it's huge though… Should we stand guard for now?"
"I am so tired though…" Lily yawned. "I want to eat something, I'm hungry…"
"That won't be necessary, let's go back to our original forms and let's enter the Dream Cloud, we should rest and have a meal before we start our search," Elayne said, acting as a responsible leader. She couldn't simply push everyone until they collapsed. The battles before were very intense after all.
"B-But are you sure? I am not really tired, I swear!" Mark said.
"Come down here Mark, stop acting tough, I know you're exhausted," Elayne crossed her arms, as she had already returned to her original form. "Come on."
"Fine…" Mark sighed, quickly turning back to normal and entering the Dream Cloud's barrier.
As this happened, Elayne used her various Skills and Techniques, expanding her Terrain, producing more Spirits around the Dream Cloud, and then summoning her Familiars, such as Loki, Belle, Silver, Goldie, and more.
With the power of her [Otherworldly Familiar Summon] Spell, summoning them here has been possible for a while, but due to the Mana Consumption required to keep them around, she hadn't done it so much.
However, now that she had expanded her Mana Capacity a lot, plus her Terrain, it was more than possible to keep them around for a longer period of time.
She also covered them in her Bellflower Wood Armor so they are protected from Dream Corrosion, the natural "Status Effect" that someone that isn't originally from the Dream Plane can catch, which slowly corrodes them into a Dream Creature or a Nightmareborn.
"And lastly, this should work pretty well too!"
Elayne harnessed another of her hidden powers, a powerful Soul-Bound Skill she had obtained recently through the fusion of many Skills.
It was a fantastic Skill that had allowed her to overcome great challenges, boosting the power of her allies and was one of the skills that helped her fight against Merlinus.
"{Divine Holy Terrain Domain of the Golden Palace of Spring and Summer}!"
FLAAASH!
Using the large quantities of Mana acquired from her Terrain, Elayne expanded a gigantic Domain on top of the Dream Cloud, a gigantic golden palace surrounded by beautiful flower gardens and forests appeared, as if blurring itself with space.
Surrounding the palace was a sea of stars, and various moons and even planets. They were of course just illusions within this Domain, but they were beautiful, nonetheless.
"Woah, a palace?!" Jenny gasped.
"Wait, isn't this that one skill?" Rita asked.
"Yes, I am using it here to ensure our protection even more… It's not too good to use while moving everywhere, but standing still like this… It should be good enough," Elayne nodded. "Alright, now…"
FLASH!
Two crowns appeared above Elayne, the {Divine Holy Spirit Crown of Spring} and the {Divine Holy Spirit Crown of Summer}. Usually the skill description specified that only one per person…
However, she wasn't in BNLO at the moment and there wasn't any System to restrict her how she could use Skills, limits like these were easily overcome or ignored, giving her the ability to squeeze all of the true power of skills… as long as they're Soul-Bound, as she cannot use anything else.
With her two crowns boosting her power even more within this domain, she waved her hands, the golden forests and yellow flower gardens around the palace quickly sprouted giant golden and green colored plants, releasing big seeds she harvested and planted into the terrain using her shovels and her techniques.
"{Aeternitas Divine Time Spirit Farming Tool Arts}: {First Form: Sowing The Field}!"
RUMBLE!
