Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1192

On the other side, upon receiving Shannon's message, Skylar and Edward led Celine and Elliot into action.

Before them, the ground was littered with most of the villagers. They were still in their ghoul-like state, but at that moment, they lay on the ground as if they were simply sleeping.

Elliot sat on the ground, huffing and panting, while Celine crouched beside him and fanned him with her hand. "Thank goodness for your anesthetic spray. Otherwise, I don't know how the four of us would handle so many ghouls at once."

He seemed shy, softly replying, "I-I only gave it a try. To humans, they're a strong dose of anesthesia, but it might not work as effectively on ghouls. No matter what, we must gather and lock them up quickly."

Elliot's worry was justified. From his angle, he could even see some villagers' eyelids moving—a sign of awakening.

Without another word, Skylar and Edward tossed the villagers into the house one after another, with the help of talismans. They had set up a barrier in advance around the house, allowing them to trap the ghouls for the time being.

However, it could only last temporarily.

Right then, they received a new message from Lexie's paper figures. After learning Shannon was confronting Alaric alone, Edward immediately showed looks of objection.

"An evil master who's dared to form a Decaybringer Array means he's not an ordinary practitioner. How can she possibly handle them alone?"

Even Skylar, who knew of her impressive abilities, was concerned.

Celine stated, "We've basically subdued all the ghouls here. Why don't you guys leave them to me while you meet up with Shannon?"

Although controlling the barrier and retaining the hundreds of ghouls simultaneously might be challenging, they had no other better choices than that.
