Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1883

"Don't worry. It's only singed without any actual damage."

As if to validate her words, Thalia moved her singed tail a little.

Shannon quickly pressed her down and took out the healing talisman that Elliot had previously stored to help restore her.

Fortunately, as Thalia had said, the tail only looked frightening on the outside, but it wasn't seriously harmed internally. Even so, it still required proper restoration.

Seeing Shannon's grim look, Thalia laughed and added, "Relax. This is nothing. The Divine Power is nothing special, really."

Although Shannon had expected Kai's evolution wouldn't go smoothly today, seeing him in his current state still made her lips twitch.

After a long pause, she finally asked, "You're sure this is Kai?"

Kai still retained his dragon form, but his body had shrunk down to a miniature size, barely larger than the span of two palms.

To make matters worse, his dragon scales were tattered and broken after being struck by the calamity lightning. At first glance, he looked utterly disheveled and pitiful…
