Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1195

It was the Art of Blood Fiend.

Suddenly, Leah exclaimed, "Shannon!"

Shannon turned her head and saw Leah gripping a woman's soul. Meanwhile, the souls of the women the latter had just rescued were being drawn into the newly-formed Blood Fiend, as though they were being consumed by it.

One by one, they were swallowed up by the creature. As that happened, the once-dying women lost all signs of life. The Blood Fiend, now infused with their souls, rapidly grew in strength.

Within moments, it had transformed into a six-foot-tall demon. Shannon's heart sank.

Alaric let out a sinister laugh. "The Blood Fiend is the result of over a decade of my efforts. No matter how capable you are, you can never defeat it. That is unless you can convince yourself to sacrifice the many living souls in its body."

Those living souls were not only sustenance for the Blood Fiend but also its very foundation. No practitioner in Shannon's place would dare to act recklessly.

Chuckles escaped Alaric's mouth as he faced Shannon's icy cold gaze. She stared at him silently before decisively slashing her palm with her hazelwood sword. At the same time, she hurled a zephyr glide talisman into the air.

A gentle breeze stirred as she rose with the wind, unhesitatingly charging straight toward the towering Blood Fiend.

Back in Seastone, Benjamin stared at the gleaming red mark on his palm. The sudden disconnection of the broadcast had long heightened his anxiety, but the burning red mark was the last nail in the coffin.

Frowning, he rose to his feet and formed a mudra, seemingly to summon something.

Meanwhile, Kai, currently at the Jensen residence, felt a sensation. His figure zapped and soon appeared before Benjamin.

He was in a daze, ready to ask what was going on when Benjamin suddenly stepped forward and tapped his finger against the center of his forehead, where golden light glimmered.
