Chapter 2159
Immediately after, flames, frost, and water pillars, each representing five cosmic forces, surged forth and pinned Goravoth firmly in the cracked fissures of the earth.
Shannon clenched her teeth and forced a light sword with her blood and golden light. Brimming with the power of thunder, the massive sword descended from the sky and hurtled straight toward Goravoth.
With a sharp clash, Goravoth's armored hide cracked. The light sword pierced into its body, but just a few inches deeper and not much further.
Even so, it made the beast grunt in pain as a deep growl escaped its throat.
Shannon gritted her teeth harder and fiercely locked her fingers into the sealing mudra. Blood gushed from her palm, but she ignored it and focused only on driving the sword deeper.
Finally, it went one more inch into Goravoth's body before it stopped. From there, it wouldn't go deeper no matter how hard she tried.
Shannon was filled with unwillingness. At that moment, a fire phoenix transformed from Trevaris burst forth from her body and swooped toward the light sword with blazing might.
The phoenix coiled around the sword and clutched it tightly before pushing down with force.
"Trevaris!"
A growl followed.
Shannon's cry rang out just as Goravoth let out an enraged roar.
The black fog around Goravoth began to burn rapidly under the golden light and phoenix flames. Its massive body twisted and struggled violently, trying to break free from the impaled light sword.
But the astral pentarchy encircled it and held it firm.
Shannon saw her chance. Despite the searing backlash to her divine soul from the clash between the light sword and Goravoth, she clenched the sword tightly to force it completely through the beast.
She could feel Goravoth's resistance weakening, and she and Trevaris were so close to victory. Just then, a sudden black light flashed in the dark sky like a blade slicing through the battlefield.
With a clash, the light sword formed from her divine soul, blood, and five cosmic forces shattered into two.
As the astral pentarchy vanished and the light sword integrated, the phoenix formed from Trevaris' divine soul was violently blasted away.
Shannon tried to call out to Trevaris, but a mouthful of blood surged up and spilled from her lips before she could say a word.
Goravoth was now free. Furious, it changed forward and swept its massive tail toward her, flinging her body over several miles away.
As she crashed into the ground, two dark shapes loomed in front of her. It wasn't just Goravoth, but also Pyrothan, the two ancient mystical beasts.
Shannon's heart missed a beat. One was a tough challenge for her, and now that there were two, what trial was this?
Even with her boundless confidence, she didn't believe she could escape unscathed from two ancient mystical beasts.
And if her divine spirit was destroyed here, she would die in the real world.
Shannon's gaze darted toward Trevaris' weakened divine soul lying not far away. Neither she nor Trevaris could afford to die here, so that left one final option.
The fox fur tied to her by Louise could pull her and Trevaris' divine souls back to their original world. But if she did that, she and Trevaris would leave this timeline in advance, while Serelith's body would officially perish.
Shannon clenched her palm tightly. She refused to give up just like that.
If only she still had her nine-tailed supernatural energy…
As the thought flashed in her mind, a sudden white supernatural light burst from her chest.
Goravoth and Pyrothan both lunged at her. Once the massive beasts radiating intense malevolent energy were just inches away from devouring her, the supernatural light on her chest flared.
In the next moment, both beasts were violently slapped away!
