Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1179

Edward subconsciously glanced at Shannon. Could this be the rapport between girls that people talked about?

However, that wasn't the point. The important thing was he could capture the energy of the malevolent being with the talisman ashes.

The protective talisman had turned to ashes, indicating that the entity attacking Luna was likely some sort of malevolent being. As the talisman defended against the assault, it had absorbed some of its energy.

However, the energy was faint and too subtle to be detected by ordinary means. Therefore, it would need to be refined for a clearer picture.

An hour later, they successfully detected the energy, thanks to the refining process, and vaguely pinned down its location. However, it wasn't located in Jamborough.

At the same time, in a village nestled in the mountains some distance from Jamborough, Mike felt a sense of ominous foreboding washed over him before even stepping in.

He couldn't help but do another reading, only to receive the same, unfavorable result. Despair dawned upon him. He held his pocket, which consisted of all kinds of talismans, and gazed at the powerful spirit beside him.

"S-Sir, are you a mystic master? A-Are you here to save me?"

To make himself look convincing, Mike had specially worn his uniform for this trip. Faced with the young lad's question, he asked, "Save you? What do you mean?"

The man lowered his voice, looking terrified, and continued in a shaky voice, "There are monsters here… Man-eating monsters!"

Mike felt his heart sink but tried to remain calm, swallowing hard before asking, "C-Calm down. Now, tell me more about it. Are you one of the villagers?"

"I am. M-My name is Janel Harris…"
