Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1185

It was simply impossible to create so many ghouls within a short time, yet neither the mystic arts community nor the Special Security Agents had realized it. It appeared the mastermind wasn't some ordinary evil master.

"I'm guessing it's Alaric Darkwood," Shannon suddenly stated a name.

Alaric was the man who teamed up with Ziva and used the Art of Fate-Swapping on Caleb and the same man who created a commotion at her birthday party and ruined her gown. She remembered his black smoke all too well.

Back then, he had deceived everyone using his substitute. She dispersed his substitute and later tried to trace his whereabouts but found no leads. Never did she expect that he was hiding in this very village.

Without a doubt, he had also robbed the martyr's body. What did he plan to do? Ghouls, corpses, and the obscured sunlight…

"The Decaybringer Array," Shannon muttered.

Lexie's heart skipped a beat. "What's that?"

She hadn't learned this before and knew little about arrays. Still, the name itself already sounded awful!

The ritual required the blood of 99 fey ladies with pure fey fates and the sacrifice of thousands of living corpses to create an Unmelting Bone.

The Unmelting Bone was also known as the Corpse King, the highest rank among the undead.

Thalia had once said that the emergence of the Unmelting Bone would signal a great catastrophe for the human world.

If Alaric's ultimate goal was to cultivate the Unmelting Bone… Shannon could only say he was nuts.

Although the Unmelting Bone was strong, it was a being that couldn't be controlled by humans. Just what on earth did Alaric plan to do? Or did he think he had a way to control that being?

"You can say so." Shannon added, "However, they're not fully refined yet. So, at most, they can only be considered as half-zombies or half-ghouls."

Since entering Harrisfield Village, she could tell the villagers preserved their original appearance. That said, they were aware of the changes within their bodies.

While being half-zombies, they would still crave flesh and blood even if their bodies maintained a human form. That was why they fought to bring Shannon and the group home among themselves, as they all anticipated devouring the humans.

At that moment, Shannon had a revelation. All the scenarios and characteristics of the phenomenon so far pointed to the same ghastly plague that the princess in the spiritual realm had experienced.

So, did that mean the ghastly plague was actually the Decaybringer Array?

Had someone also attempted to use the Decaybringer Array to refine the Unmelting Bone a thousand years ago? And now, just as the princess and rat demon had said, the ghastly plague was back…
