Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
Chapter 426 Stronger Hollow-----
"Huh?! Elayne what's wrong?! Is there something behind me?" Mark reacted in shock when I threw him away.
"S-Sorry! But I had to, you can't see it yet, can't you? But there's a HUGE Hollow right in front of us!" I said.
"What?!" Mark quickly stood up, getting at my side, and grabbing a hoe to fight. He was quite quick-witted. "T-Then let me fight it too!"
"You can't see it, dumbass!" The Great Spirit sighed. "Elayne if the guy you fought was like a G Rank Hollow, this guy's as strong as a F Rank!"
"Wait, they got Ranks now?!" I asked.
"Let's go with that for now so its easier to measure their strength." Said the Great Spirit. "Also give that idiot of your boyfriend something to help him see them!"
"R-Right!" I quickly put my hand inside my Inventory and then spent 50 MP more into getting out a lemon. My MP was around 400 right now, but thanks to my fast regeneration, I should get it full soon enough.
"Mark, eat this! It's a Magical Lemon, it boosts INT for a few hours!" I threw the Lemon at Mark.
"Alright!" Mark didn't hesitated, as he bit into the lemon, his face quickly distorted and was filled with wrinkles. "So sour…!"
"OOOOOHHHHHHH!"
The monstrous Hollow quickly attacked again, its enormous arms hitting the ground furiously and making the entire barn tremble.
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
This thing was around three meters tall and had giant gorilla-like arms. It had a single face, resembling a white mask with two empty eyes and a long pointy nose.
Unlike the first one I meet which seemed to have no definite form, this guy was surely more compact and wasn't shapeshifting as much.
"I see! It's an F Rank Fighter-Class Hollow, they're tough as they come and super strong, but dumber than others, bait him to go outside!" The Great Spirit recommended me.
"Sure!" I grabbed a shovel and then ran towards the gate of the barn, luring it out. "Come here dumbass! I've got you all the mana you want here!"
"OOOOHHHHH!"
The giant quickly began crawling out, as he directed his two massive hands towards me, attempting to grab me.
"[Mana Infusion]!"
I imbued Mana into my shovel as the old shovel started shining with a green light.
FLASH!
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "HYAAAAH!"
With all my strength, I smacked the Hollow's arms and weakened them. The two arms suddenly exploded into black mud, hitting the ground.
SPLASH!
It worked!
"OOOOHHH…!"
However, the Hollow acted as if it was nothing, quickly regrowing a new set of arms and punching me with all its strength!
"S-Shit! [Wooden Shield]!"
BAAAAAMMM!
CRASH!
The Wooden Shield shattered into pieces, as the punch hit me and blew me away.
CLASH!
"Ouch…"
I found myself falling several meters down into the ground, as I felt slightly tired.
"AHHHH… Mana… MANAAAA!"
The Hollow's entire face began to distort as countless tentacles emerged, pointing them at me and attempting to drain my Mana.
"N-No! [Sharp Thorns]!"
I touched the grass below me with my hands, imbuing Mana into it and then transforming the plants into sharp, three-meter-big thorns!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GRYYAAAAHHH!!!!"
The Hollow roared in agony, stepping back as its entire body was pierced. But like a slime, it began freeing itself from them quite easily.
I slowly stood up, suddenly realizing Mark was behind the Hollow!
"T-This thing's a hollow… This is nuts…" He said. "However…!"
His Mana overflowed from his very soul, as he imbued it into the hoe he was carrying and then he hit the Hollow's back with it!
"Take this you shithead!"
CLAAAAASH!
"GRAAAAAHH?!"
The Hollow certainly received some damage, glancing back at Mark with angered, red-colored eyes.
"TINY… PATHETIC!"
Angrily, the Hollow pointed its fists at Mark!
"Blackie! Do something!"
"MEOW!"
Blackie who had been slacking off quickly emerged out of the shadows after my command, controlling the shadows themselves as he created tentacles made of darkness, wrapping them around the Hollows arms and pulling them down!
CRAAASH!
"GRAAAH?! GRYYEEEH…!"
"HISSSS!"
Blackie hissed angrily, as he jumped over the Hollow, his tiny claws growing over five times their size as he slashed the Hollow's face countless times!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"UUOOOGGGH…!"
The Hollow took some damage there as well, but this thing was sure tanky, even with everything it took, it was still standing.
"GRAAAH!"
The Hollow furiously created a third arm coming from its stomach, punching Blackie and Mark away from him!
CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Meeow!"
"Aagh…!"
"EAT… HUNGRY!"
The Hollow's entire body began to distort into an aberrant pair of jaws, attempting to devour the two of them at once.
But I wasn't going to let him!
I put my hands inside the Inventory once more, taking out a cube-shaped item.
A Potential Cube!
If I need more power.
I quickly put the Potential Cube over the shovel as I ran towards the Hollow.
FLAAASH!
And then, I saw it. The Potential Cube worked as intended, boosting the normal shovel's powers and granting it a special Potential Ability, even of the lowest rank, it should work somehow!
While that happened, I heard a voice inside my head.
[Potential Cube (D Rank)] has been utilized on [Old Farm Shovel (No Rank)]!]
[The [Old Farm Shovel (No Rank)] has evolved into a D Rank Magic Weapon!]
[It has gained the Potential Abilities [STR +15% (D)] and [Explosive Blow (D)]!]
Was that the System?! But I thought it wasn't inside this world!
Or maybe it is the very cube that has such a system-like message thing?
Well, whatever the case…!
"[Mana Infusion]! [Explosive Blow]!!!"
I quickly unleashed all the leftover Mana I had, imbuing it into my weapon and then… Smacking the Hollow with everything I had on me!
CLAAAASH!
"GRUOOHHHHH…!"
The Mana infused into the weapon suddenly entered the Hollow's body, exploding!
BOOOOOOMMM!!!
The Hollow ended exploding like a balloon, splattering its black mud thing everywhere before completely dissipating and only leaving a single black crystal behind…
"Hah… I did it…" I sighed, resting over the ground.
