Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 903

Scott froze for a moment before realizing what Shannon meant.

He sliced his fingertip with the utility knife and winced in sharp pain, but he wasted no time stabbing the blood-coated utility knife into the evil spirit again.

The spirit had been unfazed until the wound began to burn. It retreated in terror and screamed.

Seeing this, Calvin followed suit and slashed his palm to help Shannon ward off the evil spirits. Meanwhile, Skylar and Triston were holding their ground though with some difficulty.

As the evil spirits began to gather once more, Skylar stopped them, while Shannon drew a talisman in the void with her amulet. "Heed my call, O' spirits of all. Death shall loom, and repel!"

Along with her shout, a massive talisman materialized in the air. As she waved, golden light fused with the talisman before it flew straight at the horde of evil spirits.

The evil spirits screamed as the massive talisman sent them scattering into the surrounding darkness.

Both Skylar and Triston gawked at Shannon with astonishment. Drawing talismans in the void was a feat not even Triston could manage.

He started to wonder if Shannon was really a newcomer. How could a newcomer like her be more skilled than a graduate like him? And what was with that golden light?

The others were still recovering from the spectacle when Shannon staggered and was drained of spiritual energy. Calvin moved to catch her, but Scott was quicker.

He dropped his utility knife and steadied her, instinctively positioning himself between her and Calvin.

Shannon was taken, so no man should casually touch her. Scott knew he had the strength to hold her though he was young.

Lying in Scott's arms, Shannon looked up at his dirt-streaked yet worried face and couldn't help but smile at how he'd wielded the utility knife to protect her.

Her eyes sparkled with a rare smile. "You've finally made something of yourself."

"I want to go home! Take me home!"

Shannon noticed how the players were panicking. Before she could calm them, the dark shadow interrupted. "She can't take you away. This is my spiritual realm, and no one leaves unless I allow it, even if you were to kill every spirit in the realm.

"If you want to leave, you have to do as I say."

One of the players could barely hold back his panic and shouted, "We did as you asked! Someone caught Shannon! You said you'd let us go if we caught her, but you didn't keep your word!"

The dark shadow turned to the player who'd just spoken, and dark malevolent energy coiled around his neck with a wave of its hand to lift him off the ground.

The group gasped as the dark shadow spoke again in a voice colder than before. "The rules have changed.

"Kill Shannon, and only then will I release you all."
