"Roar!"


    Terrashock, enraged by the tant provocation, grew even more furious.


    Its massive body morphed, forming two sharp ws made entirely of rock.


    Everything in the path of its sweeping strikes was reduced to rubble.


    But Timothy and Sylvia moved swiftly, darting back and forth, making it impossible for Terrashock tond a hit.


    No matter how angry the beast became, it couldn''t find a way to attack them.


    ng, ng.


    However, without using any spiritual energy, even though the wooden swords were incredibly tough, they couldn''t pierce Terrashock''s body.


    The rock armor covering the beast was imprable, seemingly indestructible.


    "As expected of an ancient beast. It really is something else," Timothy muttered, frowning slightly.


    Beside him, Sylvia''s breathing had be a bitbored.


    Sweat glistened on her skin, soaking part of her clothes.


    Under the glow of the aurora, a bead of sweat slid down her slender neck.


    It was a breathtaking sight.


    Seeing the usuallyposed Goddess Sylvia struggling, her brows furrowed in concentration, was a rare and captivating scene.


    Even Timothy, who had fought alongside her many times, had rarely seen her show any sign of weakness.


    But if they kept going like this, they''d lose the bet—defeating the beast without using their spiritual power.


    [Soulborn Eye, activate.]


    A faint glow flickered in Timothy''s left eye as he scanned Terrashock''s massive body.


    Suddenly, his gaze locked onto something—Terrashock''s six eyes, barely noticeable amidst the rocky exterior.


    Though its body was covered inyers of stone, the six eyes were left unprotected.


    Even though five of the eyes were hidden deep within the beast''s body, Timothy''s Soulborn Eye could see them clearly.


    Timothy gently ced his hand on Sylvia''s shoulder.


    A subtle energy flowed between them, allowing Sylvia to see the six eyes as well.


    "So, that''s the weak spot," Sylvia said, a hint of excitement in her voice.


    Timothy nodded. "Terrashock''s body is too big. Blinding just one eye won''t be enough to bring it down. We need to take out all six as quickly as possible to kill it. Otherwise, things could get a lot worse."


    "Got it. Three each. I refuse to believe we can''t take it down without using our powers," Sylvia replied, determination in her eyes. Sweat dripped from her temple, dampening a strand of her hair.


    For the first time in a long while, a spark of exhration lit up her usually calm face.


    It had been ages since Sylvia had faced an opponent that pushed her to her limits, and she couldn''t help but feel a surge of fighting spirit.


    Their eyes met, and in that moment, they shared a look of absolute trust.


    Then, in an instant, both Timothy and Sylvia moved.


    "Roar!"


    Terrashock''s massive ws, carried by a fierce wind, mmed down, shattering the ground into a web of cracks.


    But the two of them split off in opposite directions, leaping into the air.


    In the night sky, two green shes streaked through the darkness, their wooden swords gleaming with a cold light as they struck down.


    And they struck at the same time.


    St!


    Two of Terrashock''s eyes burst simultaneously.


    The beast howled in agony, its massive body shaking violently from the pain. Its ws and legs pounded the ground in a frenzy, sending shockwaves through the earth.


    Using the momentum from Terrashock''s wild thrashing, Timothy and Sylvia leaped once more.


    Stay connected with m-v l|e''-NovelBin


    Splurt.


    Another two eyes.


    With four eyes now destroyed in quick session, half of Terrashock''s body began to wither. Even its once-imprable rocky exterior started to crack.


    The beast''s roars grew more desperate, unable to contain its panic. It dug its ws into the ground, shaking its massive body violently, trying to fling the two of them off.


    The tremors were intense, making it hard to stay on, but Timothy held firm, his fingers gripping tightly onto the rocky surface of the beast. He wasn''t going anywhere.


    On the other side, Sylvia had plunged her wooden sword into Terrashock''s body, anchoring herself above it as well.


    "Babe, ready to finish this?" Timothy called out.


    "I''m ready," Sylvia replied, a small smile tugging at her lips.


    This fight, without using any spiritual energy, had given her a thrill she hadn''t felt in a long time.


    Though it was just a slight smile, it was as radiant as a blooming flower.


    "Three."


    "Two."


    "One!"


    At the count, both Timothy and Sylvia moved in perfect sync.


    Their figures blurred, moving as fast as lightning, with a sh of green sword light trailing behind them as they leaped toward the top of the beast.


    There, Terrashock''sst two eyes were located.


    These were thergest—and also the most vulnerable.


    "Roar!"


    Sensing the imminent danger, Terrashock let out a roar filled with fear and desperation. It stomped the ground and thrashed about, trying to stop them.


    But the two sword strikes cut through the wind, glowing with a brilliant green light, sharp enough to slice through anything in their path.


    There was no escape.


    Splurt!


    The red glow of their swords pierced through the beast''s final eyes.


    Blood sprayed out as the two massive eyes exploded.


    An overwhelming wave of pain surged through Terrashock, and it let out a heart-wrenching wail.


    Its bloodshot eyes rolled wildly, as if trying to muster thest bit of strength to devour Timothy and Sylvia.


    But its rocky exterior had already begun to crumble and fall away, its massive body shrinking like a deting balloon.


    Boom!


    A powerful shockwave rippled outward as the colossal beast copsed to the ground with a thunderous crash.


    Sylvia, now falling without the support of spiritual energy, was plummeting toward the earth at an rming speed.


    Just as she was about to hit the ground, Timothy appeared beneath her, catching her gently in a princess carry. Her soft body felt almost weightless in his arms.


    "You broke the rules and used spiritual energy," Sylvia said, her voice teasing.


    Timothy smiled. "Rules, schmules. What''s more important than making sure my wife is safe?"


    "You…"


    For a moment, Sylvia was at a loss for words. Or maybe, she didn''t really want to argue.


    She slowly lifted her head, her eyes meeting Timothy''s.


    In that instant, a faint blush crept across her cheeks, and she shyly lowered her gaze.


    Under the glow of the aurora, her clear eyes sparkled like stars.


    "Babe, look! The aurora''s even brighter than before," Timothy said, pointing toward the horizon.


    A streak of light danced across the sky, like ink spreading through clear water, painting the heavens with vibrant colors.


    If they ventured deeper into Aurora Land, the view would be even more breathtaking.


    "Shall we go deeper into Aurora Land?" Sylvia asked softly.


    "Of course. I still haven''t given you your Valentine''s Day gift," Timothy replied with a gentle smile.


    "I… I have something for you too," Sylvia murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, soft and sweet like the girl next door.
