Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

The icy wall Nieve erected using Acorn’s divine power was strong enough to resist the phantasmal flames, but it was already melting down at a rapid pace!

"RAAAHHH!"

The spectral monstrosity continued unleashing the same attack, rapidly beginning to wear down the walls as its entire body started growing larger.

There were small phantasmal things constantly flowing towards him from every place in the battlefield, making its entire body inflate like a balloon.

"Why is it growing larger?!" Nieve wondered, noticing it right away as she tried to keep the wall stable and strong. "This doesn’t make any sense… Are Undead Chimeras this strong?"

Acorn’s eyes widened, immediately realizing what was happening after noticing the obvious things.

"I-I think it’s absorbing the souls of the other undead that had been defeated to boost its growth!" Acorn said. "W-Wait a second… that’s it! I have a crazy idea… Nieve, please freeze my soul!"

"Wait what?!"

And right out of nowhere Acorn asked for a ridiculous thing!

"If you can freeze my soul then it can resist the phantasmal flames…!" said Acorn. "And if it tries to devour my soul, then it’ll have its own soul frozen!"

"That’s too reckless Acorn!" said Nieve. "We have to think on another solution… Maybe if Florie can help…"

"She’s busy dealing with hundreds of Undead on her own!" said Acorn.

"What about Johanna?" Nieve wondered. "That bratty druid, where did she even go to?"

"Ah! You’re right, I haven’t seen her anywhere!" Acorn said. "Where could she have even gone to?"

BAAAM!

As they wondered about the unruly young Druid, a sudden tremor echoed behind them, they glance and noticed a young woman with giant bear arms and cheetah legs crushing the head of a bone wyvern.

"And that’ll teach you some good freaking manners you bastard!" she roared. "Now where the hell are- Ah! There you are! The squirrel and that annoying fairy!"

"Talking about the devil…" Acorn smiled lightly. "With her help it might be possible for my plan to work better!"

"A-Are you sure you want me to freeze your soul? Won’t you… die?" Nieve asked.

"No, my soul has already become divine," said Acorn. "Or well, as long as I keep my divine beast form, even my soul gains divine power. It’ll simply change its form and I might feel really cold… but trust me!"

"Hey! What’s going on? Your wall is about to burst into hot water!" said Johanna, rushing towards them as she glanced at the melting wall.

"There’s a huge specter behind constantly growing bigger!" said Acorn. "Its flames burn souls, so don’t touch them, Johanna!"

"I see… what’s the plan then?" Johanna asked. "I owe a lot to Planta so I need to help out as much as I can, so I don’t feel guilty later…"

"Then you and Nieve will hide behind me while I charge against the monster," said Acorn. "Once it finally gets me and begins trembling in cold, you beat him!"

"T-That’s it?! What a terrible man!" Johanna said.

"It’s actually more complicated than you think but we explain it to you like that, so your little brain understands her role," said Nieve.

"Little brain?!" Johanna groaned angrily. "What the hell! You’re the only one with a little brain here small fairy!"

"Hmph, I doubt it…" Nieve said.

"Come on you two, don’t fight over nothing!" Acorn said. "Nieve, hurry! The wall’s going to burst!"

"Ok!"

Neive touched Acorn’s huge body and then imbued her Spiritual Ice Powers deep inside of his soul. If she aimed at his body he might freeze… and die, so she did her best to not touch that.

"Woaaah! My soul is really- Aaaggh!"

Acorn screamed as his entire body overflowed with frost spirit energy, suddenly beginning to change appearance out of nowhere! His fur became white, he gained three horns made out of ice, and his claws gained an icy exterior, he also became bulkier and more round for some reason.

FLAAASH!

Stay updated through empire

"I transformed?!"

His aura of frost spread out everywhere, flowing with divine power! Acorn never felt this strong before. He quickly realized this was a hidden power he had no idea of.

Ding!

[You have successfully absorbed the Spiritual Element of Frost into your Divine Beast Soul, temporarily transforming your Body in response into a {Divine Squirrel Beast of Frost}!]

[All your Stats have increased by 100%, and you have gained the ability to wield Divine Ice Element with your claws and breath attacks. In this state, your Soul is completely frozen, giving it a high resistance against soul-devouring attacks.]

"I-I can change my form depending on the elements I infuse into my soul?!" he gasped. "Fascinating! RAAAHH!"

As he roared, the entire wall of ice Nieve conjured came down, exploding into pieces.

BOOOM!

As the walls exploded and came down into pieces, the specter emerged, now four times as big as before, it looked like a complete behemoth.

"GRAAAHHHH!"

With a ferocious ghostly scream, the monstrous specter rushed down towards Acorn, Nieve, and Johanna, swinging its massive scythe once more.

"Stay behind me!"

Acorn charged forward as he harnessed the powers of Frost that Nieve had granted to him, conjuring an armor of ice over his entire body.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Acorn tanked the incoming attacks with all the might he could, even as the ice melted, he created more to resist as much as he possibly could until he reached the specter.

"Now, come down here!"

He jumped into the skies, grabbing the specter’s tail and then pulling it down with all his divine force put into his grip.

"GRAACCK?!"

BAAAM!

As the specter reached the ground and hit the floor, its spectral powers quickly devoured life within its surroundings, all plants nearby withered and died.

"OOOHHHH!!!"

With an angered scream, the specter reached Acorn, grabbing his head and then screaming into his face, as its phantasmal powers tried to eat his soul completely!

"Yeah… have a good taste of my soul!"

However, Acorn smiled as the specter absorbed his soul… and had a terribly hard doing so.

"G-GUUGH?! GRUUGH?!"

It started groaning, suddenly its phantasmal body started freezing into black ice, becoming slow and weakened.

"Now!"

Acorn called, and Johanna and Nieve appeared from behind him, jumping from his shoulders towards the freezing specter.
