Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1269

Once the black smoke dissipated, Shannon and the others finally caught sight of the scene in the array.

Lexie stood in the forefront with Heston just behind her. As the smoke and embers lingered, Lexie's once clean, doll-like face now had eerie inky runes.

She stood there silently with her hands forming a mudra. When she raised her eyes to meet theirs, a faint shifting glow seemed to flicker within her gaze.

Following her movements, they found Heston behind her mirroring her gestures. Though a zombie, his hands formed mudras with the grace of a mystic master.

The three Special Security Agents exchanged a look of pleasant surprise. Lexie had successfully made the contract!

Compared to their relief and awe, Shannon and Benjamin wore grave looks.

That was especially the case for Shannon, whose eyes scanned the inky runes on Lexie's face. She frowned slightly.

Those weren't the sigils of an ordinary Ghastly Corpse Contract.

Before she could voice her suspicions, Lexie turned to her with a tired but triumphant grin. "Shannon, I did it."

Her hands relaxed, and her body swayed as if drained thoroughly of energy. But just as she was about to collapse, Heston reached out to catch her securely.

Shannon hurried over to press the Bentrix Stone into Lexie's hands. Benjamin glanced at the scene and said nothing.

Though Lexie's spiritual energy was severely depleted, she didn't pass out. She sat on the ground and took a moment to catch her breath.

As her spiritual energy settled, the inky runes faded from her face to leave her skin clear once more.
