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.
