Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1196

Meanwhile, Skylar and the others were using all their might to shield the swarm of ghouls. "We must protect the barrier!

Behind them, the barrier contained up to hundreds of ghouls. If they failed to protect the barrier and released the ghouls, they would have nowhere else to go.

With bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth, Celine maintained the barrier alongside Elliot while Skylar and Edward blocked the desperate ghouls.

Naturally, it was highly challenging for only two of them to shield the attack against hundreds of ghouls.

Amid his brief distraction, Skylar accidentally suffered a bite from a ghoul who charged over from the back.

"Skylar!" Celine exclaimed.

"I'm fine!" Skylar replied through gritted teeth.

He vividly felt a scorching sensation on his chest—a sign that the protective talisman provided by the tournament's organizer had shielded him.

However, it also meant that he wouldn't be this lucky the next time he encountered an attack.

While pondering, he heard an exclaim from behind. Another ghoul had tried to attack Elliot from the side.

Celine gasped aloud. Just as the ghoul was about to bite Elliot, a sharp spike that pierced through his arm stopped its attack.

Elliot kicked the ghoul six feet into the distance and softly replied, "I'm fine, too."

"I guess I worried for nothing, then," Celine mused.

"Heed my call, O' spirits of all. Death shall loom, and repel!" Skylar unleashed a talisman, temporarily pushing the ghouls back, but they quickly charged at them again.

Those who had been bound by the immobilization talisman managed to break free, aided by the crowd pushing and rubbing off the talisman.

The chaos would be endless unless they annihilated them all, but… The villagers were still half-zombies; once the sun rose, they would return to being humans…
