Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

Chapter 283: Sylvia’s And Caelus’s Aura Synchronization! A Power that shouldn’t exist

The battle continued pushing them beyond their limits. Caelus’s movements became slower, his reactions dulled by exhaustion, and blocking attacks became harder.

[Aura: 2/40]

He used the Ruyi Jingu Bang repeatedly, and every strike drained what little remained.

However, by now the intelligent bosses had adapted to his patterns, making each exchange worse.

Sylvia attacked with blood constructs, but they were weaker now. Her MP was nearly depleted, and maintaining the Crimson Sovereign alone consumed massive energy.

[Aura: 0/40]

The notification appeared in both their visions simultaneously. All Aura was completely depleted, and their bodies felt impossibly heavy.

"We’re out of Aura," Caelus said in complete exhaustion.

Sylvia gripped her sword tighter, and her arms shook uncontrollably. Blood dripped from wounds that would not stop bleeding.

The only thing that kept her alive was the Blood Generation generating blood.

The bosses saw this and began approaching slowly, recognizing their victory.

The Infernal Tyrant raised its fist for a final strike, and time seemed to slow.

Sylvia stepped forward instinctively and placed herself between Caelus and the attack.

Time seemed to have slowed down for her as she stared at the fist coming down towards her.

Was it going to end just here? Was she going to just watch this time as well?

No!

Memories of the past began resurfacing inside her mind.

They were of the time when Caelus first dealt with a Mindfolk and rescued her using his Ender’s Will, and during that time, she was powerless.

But, to make up for it, Sylvia had not been idle.

She contacted Rachel, the Ice Queen and one of their dear friends from the Abyss, to get stronger while Caelus was unconscious.

The Ice Queen’s harsh lessons, the countless defeats that built her foundation, and the countless victories proving her strength continued appearing in her mind.

Rachel’s voice echoed clearly.

"Power doesn’t keep you standing, will does. Your willpower is what gives birth to power, Sylvia."

Sylvia slowly opened her eyes, and they shone with renewed determination.

That was when a system notification appeared in her vision.

[Ding!]

[Special Skill Awakened.]

[Battlewill]

BOOOM!

Her Aura reignited against all logic.

[Aura: 0/40 → 20/40]

The surrounding energy responded to her will alone, and it continued rising impossibly.

The Infernal Tyrant’s attack came crashing down, but Sylvia calmly walked forward and punched upward.

BOOM!

The Infernal Tyrant was sent flying by the endless power surging through Sylvia.

[Aura: 20/40 → 35/40]

[Aura: 35/40 → 50/40]

Caelus froze completely seeing this.

"Battlewill?" he asked in shock. "How do you know Battlewill, Sylvia?"

"Rachel taught me, back in the Abyss. I never got the chance to use it until now."

"The Ice Queen... huh?" Caelus muttered.

As she said that, Sylvia stepped forward and slowly walked towards the monstrous beasts with aura surging from her.

The Sylvia now was incredibly strong!

Watching Sylvia continue fighting despite everything, Caelus refused to fall behind, and he clenched his fists as determination surged.

This awakening of his girlfriend gave him enough determination.

"It’s time for me to awaken that power once more."

His exhausted body refused to collapse, and the forgotten instinct sleeping inside finally awakened. The System merely recognized its return.

[Ding!]

[Resonance Detected.]

[Ender’s Will Awakened.]

His Aura erupted violently.

[Aura: 0/40 → 40/40]

It didn’t stop.

[Aura: 40/40 → 55/40]

The power continued rising beyond normal limits.

[Aura: 55/40 → 70/40]

Even Sylvia stopped fighting briefly to stare. His presence felt completely different now, and it was more absolute and overwhelming.

"Hubby," she breathed, "your Aura..."

"Let’s go home, Sylvia," Caelus said calmly as he walked towards her and stood alongside her.

"Yes." Sylvia smiled.

"Let’s take down these monsters."

The battle continued with renewed intensity. Caelus moved faster than before, his body completely ignored exhaustion, and skill cooldowns became meaningless.

He attacked relentlessly, and the Infernal Tyrant struggled to keep up. But even with Ender’s Will, the bosses remained dangerous.

Caelus realized they needed something more. Without consciously thinking, he gathered Aura at his fingertip, and the action felt instinctive for him.

A crosshair suddenly appeared across his vision.

He saw the weak point clearly.

He fired, and a thin beam of compressed Aura instantly pierced through the Ash Monarch’s core. The boss froze mid-attack.

Only afterward did the System acknowledge it.

[Ding!]

[Skill Awakened.]

[Aura Bullet]

Caelus smiled. It was his Aura Bullet.

Caelus and Sylvia looked at each other, and neither needed words. One glance was enough.

They leaped into the sky simultaneously, and their hair danced in the winds.

The Ancient Dragon God manifested behind Caelus.

The Crimson Sovereign appeared behind Sylvia, and lightning surged across both of them.

For a brief moment, the battlefield fell completely silent.

Their breathing gradually synchronized, their heartbeats began beating at exactly the same rhythm, and their souls started resonating on a fundamental level.

Aura naturally flowed between them without conscious control.

Caelus noticed this first. He looked down at the streams of energy connecting both of them, and the golden light mixed with crimson to create something new.

Sylvia noticed it moments later.

Her eyes widened slightly, but she didn’t interrupt the phenomenon. Instead, she instinctively accepted it, and her body moved on its own.

The resonance deepened with every passing second.

Their bodies synchronized, their souls aligned perfectly, their Aura became indistinguishable from each other, and their wills merged into one unified force.

Everything reached the exact same frequency.

The surrounding world began reacting to this change. The volcanic flames stopped moving entirely, and the wind froze in place.

Even the bosses hesitated after sensing this unfamiliar power. Their attacks slowed as confusion crossed their features, and they realized something was wrong.

At that moment, the System appeared.

[Ding!]

[Two compatible Aura Signatures detected.]

[Ding!]

[Soul Resonance has reached 100%.]

[Ding!]

[Conditions fulfilled.]

[Creating a new Aura Technique...]

Caelus slowly raised his hand, and his movements felt dreamlike as though his body knew what to do. Sylvia raised hers as well.

Their palms gently met in midair.

The instant they touched, their Aura no longer existed as two separate energies. They completely merged into one unified existence, and the sensation was overwhelming.

This wasn’t Caelus lending strength to Sylvia, and this wasn’t Sylvia supporting Caelus. Their Aura had literally become one.

The merged energy began changing immediately, and the color shifted from gold and crimson to orange.

The pressure released was unlike anything either produced individually.

Both instinctively understood what to do next.

Their souls guided the technique without conscious thought, and their movements flowed automatically.

The System appeared once more.

[Ding!]

[New Aura Skill Created.]

[Name: Twin Soul Resonance]

[Description: An Aura Skill that can only be performed by two individuals whose body, soul, Aura, and will have reached perfect synchronization. The users merge their Aura into a single existence before releasing it as one attack. The resulting power far exceeds what either user could produce individually. The technique cannot be copied or learned through ordinary means.]

The merged Aura slowly compressed between their joined hands, and it became smaller with each passing moment. It was denser than anything they had created before.

The surrounding air began distorting from the sheer concentration. Lightning danced wildly around the sphere of energy, and sparks flew in every direction.

The Ancient Dragon God and the Crimson Sovereign appeared behind them simultaneously. For the first time, the two Fighting Spirits didn’t stand separately, and they moved together.

They positioned themselves as though protecting the same attack. Their combined presence felt overwhelming, and the pressure alone made breathing difficult.

The bosses finally realized the danger they faced, and they immediately unleashed their ultimate attacks without holding anything back.

The entire battlefield erupted.

The Infernal Tyrant’s Molten Explosion merged with the Ash Monarch’s Domain, and the combined power created a wave of destruction rushing toward Caelus and Sylvia.

The attack threatened to consume everything.

Caelus and Sylvia released Twin Soul Resonance simultaneously. The compressed sphere of merged Aura shot forward, and it collided with the bosses’ ultimate attack.

BOOOM!

The impact was catastrophic.

The bosses’ joint attack was directly swallowed as the sphere completely crashed into the two bosses.

The overwhelming power was impossible for them to handle.

Then they collapsed simultaneously, and their bodies dissolved into particles of light the following moment.

Caelus and Sylvia landed back on the ground as their Will skill and aura desynchronized and stabilized.

[Aura: 70/70]

Caelus looked toward Sylvia.

She smiled back tiredly.

"We really won," he said.

Sylvia let out an exhausted laugh. "Yeah. I don’t want to fight them again, hubby. I just want to go home and go to sleep."

At the same time, the Volcano King, who was observing this from above, was in complete shock and was shaking in disbelief.

"These two... they defeated those two undefeatable monsters from the ancient era?"

He had initially set this trial to bring out their potential, and he was certain that even if they awakened Battlewill, they would never be able to win against the Infernal Tyrant and the Ash Monarch.

They were mere projections of the real ones, but these two were the most feared monsters, and even Enders at their full power feared them due to their regeneration and them never running out of mana.

But these two...

"They also awakened Twin Soul Resonance. Just how much does these two love each other? Only people that genuinely love each other and have immense bond can perform such an attack by achieving Synchronization."

"The reincarnation of the Queen will be even stronger than her in the future if she gets the Authority of Death."

Back with Caelus and Sylvia, notifications rushed into their vision one by one.
