Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 972

-----

Cecilia was still processing what was happening. It was going to be a simple plan, one that pained her greatly, but one that was necessary to free everyone from the shackles of the Gods. One that included forcing her best friend, and the girl she loved into a Demonic Beast, the same way she had to do it with her brother.

She didn't expect her brother to survive, even less to be saved. She had already expected to pay for her sins once she died, as she believed she was doing this for a greater good, to help the rejected son of the Gods to rise back again, and to free everyone from the evil shackles of the Gods, which stopped them all from achieving true freedom.

The primary reason why people joined this ever-growing cult wasn't because they were particularly evil or hated society, but because they all saw a dead end within their society, a stagnation that they've been suffering for the last thousand years so far.

And that was only going to get worse over time.

If Cecilia had to be honest with herself, after seeing Elbedo and Hermes dying, she was beginning to regret her actions, and very badly so.

Even more when Mercedes had confessed that she loved her...

Yet, what could she do now, when she had gone so far?

She could only keep moving and fall even deeper.

Until she can finally reach her goal.

Or at least... die trying.

"You're a really piece of shit, aren't you?"

However, as of right now, she was having difficulties even making her resolve. She was desperate, fighting a badmouthed Dark Elf woman and a ridiculously strong Brownie.

"Shut UP!"

Cecilia screamed, madness clear on her face as she unleashed a barrage of attacks, her powerful Demonic and Miasmic Abilities manifested in the ability to inject fragments of True Demons inside Cursed Knives.

She controlled such knives easily as well, being able to summon them, create them, or destroy them at will by merely using Mana. This was her amazing power, and the one that allowed her to turn her brother into a monster.

"Rita, careful!"

With all her anger, she conjured three more claws, attacking Cecilia with them and quickly pushing her down with even more strength, while constantly trying to drain her Mana to stop her knife summoning abilities.

At the same time, Lily conjured countless spears and fired them at Cecilia to attempt to deal some damage to her! However, thirty knives were quickly summoned, Cecilia's maximum amount of knives she could keep up at the same time, quickly rotating them around her body and using them to defend against the incoming projectiles.

Crack, crack...! CRASH!

Most of Lily's spears broke apart, making the Brownie groan in frustration. Cecilia smiled as she kept destroying the projectiles, laughing maniacally.

"Hahaha! It is futile, you can't harm me! My powers are too strong!" She laughed.

She was able to accelerate the speed of her daggers, and with her seamless control, easily protect herself and hurt others. And with Time Overcharge, she made the knives explode with all the time imbued into them.

"At any time now, I'll free myself from your damned magic and- Ah!"

However, it was too late, she didn't realize, but the chains sneaked around her while Lily kept her busy destroying her hundreds of projectiles.

The chains wrapped around her arms, legs, and neck, draining her Mana at an even faster pace, making Cecilia vomit in utter pain as her reserves emptied almost instantly.

Her daggers disappeared.

And she finally realized how fucked she was.

"I got you, bitch."

Rita smiled.

"N-no... wait... wait a second! WAIT! PLEASE WAI-"

BAAAM!

And the last thing Cecilia saw was Lily's giant hammer smash over her head, splattering her brains into the floor.
