Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest



-----

"Welcome to the Abyss Fall!" Laughed Laplace. "You can't use bridges nor flying! Isn't it impossible now?! I'm an evil genius!"

"A huge pit?!" Asked Rita. "Wait, do you want us to cross this by not flying nor making a bridge?! Wait, that's… Is it possible? Oh, there's still walls…"

"Yes that's right there are still walls but unless you're spiderman or something you can't just cross like- Gah?! What are you doing?!" Laplace was shocked that Elayne produced a sticky tree sap from her hands and started to easily move across the walls.

"Maybe I'm actually spiderman." Laughed Elayne, easily crossing the trial.

And then, she spread out her arms into huge vine tentacles and grabbed her friends from the other side, bringing them to her.

"Uwaaaah! This is still kind of scary!" Rita cried, looking into the pitch-black hole beneath leading to nowhere.

"T-That was quick." Mark was amazed.

"Is it my idea or is this… jester a bit stupid?" Lily talked through telepathy.

"He really is! He must be a young spirit." The Great Spirit laughed. "Just keep fooling him, that's the only way to win these ridiculous things! And once you're done with the trials… Beat his ass!"

"Y-Y-YOUUUU!" Laplace started raging. "Y-You'll see! The next trial will be the hardest! EVER!"

The doors opened, as Laplace kicked everyone into the room, as they landed in front of what seemed to be a complicated maze of colorful walls.

"Kuhahahaha! Welcome to the Maze of Madness!" Laplace was growing more desperate. "Y-You can't use flying, nor bridges… Nor sticky sap… Err, and no mapping skills, or clairvoyance, or anything that let's you easily map the maze! Hehehe…"

"Alright." Elayne nodded. "That's all the rules, right?"

"Yeah!" Laplace was very confident now. "Ah, a small reminder, there are many monsters around, deadly ones! And also traps that will tear you to shreds if you step in the wrong- W-Wait! What are you doing?! No! STOP!"

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

Mark grew his arms into huge wooden blazing arms and started hitting the walls, making them crumble down one after another.

"Let's go, I'll open the way to the end." Mark said.

"Oh my, you're so generous! I was going to do it myself, but I'm a bit tired now." Elayne smiled.

"Hahaha, leave it to me!" Mark roared, smashing the walls as Laplace observed yet another of his "genius" trials being completely decimated in a matter of minutes.

As he blew away the maze, the girls sat down to rest, drinking some tea that Elayne brought from her inventory, and eating cupcakes.

"I'm done!" Mark called, as the girls quickly walked through the whole passage and into the end of the large maze… ignoring absolutely everything else.

Elayne knew that once Laplace set the rules and they confirmed it with them, he was unable to change them. He could still try to change them but would be hit with a backlash, unless they agreed to the rule change, it couldn't be changed anymore.

This is how they abused his stupid trials and his ineptitude at the time of setting rules, never being able to completely close all loopholes, because from the very beginning that there were too many all the time if his games were so basic…

"GRAAARGH! The last trial is going to kill you all before you can even fight me!" Laplace was going insane, exuding an aura of red and black color. "Go there! GO INSIDE THERE!"

He forced everyone to step into the next room, as they were suddenly faced with something completely different this time, a huge… desert!

"Welcome to the Desert of Hopelessness! The door leading to the exit is… somewhere! Who knows?! You can't use any flying thing, nor detection magic! Nor any magic! Magic is forbidden actually." Laughed Laplace.

"I see…" Elayne nodded. "This sure looks hopeless now…"

"Ugh…" Rita sighed. "We'll be here for a while…"

"Hmm… Not really." Lily said. "I can't use magic, but naturally, I can sense something. Maybe it is my connection with the earth spirits."

She suddenly kneeled on the sand and touched it, her eyes glowed brightly out of nowhere. As if she connected with the sand itself.

"W-What are you doing?! You're braking the rules!!!" Laplace screamed desperately.

"Not really, if she did wouldn't she get penalized? She's not using magic but a unique ability of her body. You didn't specify what counts as magic. So maybe it only counts spells." Said Elayne with a giggle.

"T-That's…! W-Wait! No! NOOOO!" Laplace screamed as he looked like he was dying inside, looking at the group be led by Lily across the sands, until they found the door… in just like four minutes.

"T-This is unfair… You're unfair…" Laplace groaned. "Urgh…"

"Now, don't chicken out, Death General Laplace." Mark said. "Come and fight, as the rules say."

"S-Shit…"

Laplace entered the next room with everybody else, which resembled a huge Arena Stadium, where thousands of toy monsters were cheering around.

"Well, you win! Let's fight to the death, the old style… And with none of those doll-transforming tricks either, I guess." Laplace sighed. "Heh, you could had set more rules, is that everything? I'm pretty strong, you know? I rule this world of Dreams, I can shape it, and also gain infinite power from it!"

Laplace small body started growing larger and more muscular, until he became a huge muscular clown, his bulging muscles growing to a titanic size, his body height at least over ten meters. His red eyes glowed beneath his mask, which now barely covered his green colored goblin-like face.

"I am the God of Dreams Laplace! And I govern this world with my absolute might!" He laughed. "You foolishly wanted to fight me? Alright, let's fight!"

"Here he comes!" Elayne readied herself, channeling her powers.

"Let's end this ridiculous game." Rita sighed, her aura of darkness surging from within her body, as her gun pointed at Laplace.

"If possible, stay behind me." Said Mark, his body being set ablaze as a dragon-like armor made of wood emerged above his body.

"That should be my line!" Lily giggled, as she summoned large, floating shields made of stone that rotated around her body.
