Chapter 2157

Goravoth was a gluttonous beast known to devour all things. Only a creature like Goravoth could be capable of vanishing every living being in the camp in a single instant. Shannon clearly remembered Elowen's warning. If any of the Doomscourges appeared, and they happened to encounter one, they should never hesitate to run. But how could she escape? Even if she was a living soul from another world and timeline, the people who'd disappeared were the same comrades who'd fought beside her for the past two months. How could she abandon them and escape alone? Even if those people were beyond saving, she would bring their remains back. Her sharp gaze locked onto the beast in front of her as chilling determination surged behind their eyes. Without hesitation, Shannon unleashed a flurry of thunder talismans. Thunder talismans flew as if guided by consciousness and surrounded Goravoth. Her fingers danced through mudras as spiritual energy surged and transformed. From a few talismans, hundreds burst forth and densely circled the massive creature. If Scarsore had been here, it would have recognized that Shannon's thunder talismans did not have just the phoenix's presence, but also a trace of its supernatural energy fused in it. Having just swallowed tens of thousands of people, Goravoth still felt hungry. Its grotesque eyes stared hungrily at the talismans surrounding it. Opening its mouth wide, it prepared to swallow those too. Shannon swiftly formed mudras. Mystic light blazed at the fingertips, and she did not hesitate to shout, "Thunder strike!" In an instant, fire lightning poured down like a fiery storm. It wasn't chaotic, and every strike fell precisely where it needed to. Goravoth's immense body was swallowed in that storm. The sky crackled with fire lightning as the beast opened its massive mouth and tried to devour the storm itself. Within seconds, it howled in pain. When the storm died down, Goravoth stood scorched and disheveled. Its body was riddled with charred holes, yet it seemed impervious to pain. With a snort, it suddenly vomited out a flash of thunderfire. Alongside that, hundreds of soldiers were ejected from its mouth. Their bodies were wrapped in thunderfire, and it was impossible to tell if they were alive. With a wave of Shannon's hand, the remaining thunderfire dispersed. Among the blackened bodies, one soldier coughed and stirred. Shannon's tense nerves loosened lightly. Thankfully, they were still alive. Even if only a third had survived, that meant there were survivors and hope. Those devoured by Goravoth could still be saved, but she would need to act quickly. As the thought flashed through her mind, Goravoth began to recover from being seared by fire lightning. Its beady eyes scanned the men lying on the ground, then back at its injured body. Its beady eyes rolling wildly now fixed on her. Then, in a rasping voice tinged with longing, it said, "Eating you… would taste better than all of them." Her divine soul was more fragrant than all the thousands it had devoured. It longed to eat her. The moment it lunged with gaping jaws, Shannon showed no fear. She swiftly drew talismans in the void before massive sigils of spiritual light appeared around the beast and wrapped it tightly. Two of them shot forward and locked Goravoth's jaws open, wrenching its mouth even wider. Then, she summoned another talisman and chanted. "With all laws reduced to water...With the talisman as my seal, with energy as my guide. By the decree of pardon, waters flow to all!" As her words fell, the talisman erupted and transformed into a colossal water dragon, which surged straight into Goravoth's gaping mouth.
