Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1550

The system, caught off guard by being thrown, couldn't help but mutter curses under its breath.

"Shannon, you're getting way too comfortable throwing me around!" it grumbled internally.

However, as it collided with the incoming black smoke, the system swiftly summoned its own black smoke, efficiently absorbing the oncoming dark fog with unhurried precision.

Scarlett was aware that Shannon had a strange tortoise that could absorb black smoke, but she wasn't fazed. "My black smoke is different from the ones from earlier. It can't possibly absorb it."

The system seemed to respond to her words. After absorbing a bit of the black smoke, the system immediately felt a force trying to pull it in.

It was as if the smoke itself hid countless monsters, each reaching out with intent to grab anyone who touched it. Almost instantly, the system, like a cautious tortoise, abandoned its attempt to absorb the black smoke before it could be pulled in any further.

The sight elicited a smile on Scarlett's face. "What did I say? A feeble tortoise—"

Shannon looked at her, interrupting, "Don't underestimate it."

Shannon's voice was like a shot of adrenaline, revitalizing the Tortoise the System, which had been disheartened by its failed attempt to absorb the black smoke. It recalled Shannon's earlier tactic—using the surrounding black smoke to quickly flip itself, forming a small tornado of black smoke.

The small vortex spiraled into a larger one, and without hesitation, the system hurled itself into the oncoming black smoke.

The black smoke the system wielded had been siphoned from the Black Smoke Organization members. Though each time it consumed some of it, it had been carefully hiding away bits of energy. Over time, these fragments had gathered into a unique and powerful black smoke of its own.

Sensing the monstrous tendrils reaching toward it from Scarlett's black smoke, the system focused intently, controlling its own black smoke. It formed a tail within the tornado, ready to counter whatever came next.

With a few sharp whipping sounds, its tail swung toward the oncoming claws. At the same time, the system reprimanded, "Get away from me, you ugly creatures!"

Though Scarlett's black smoke wasn't absorbed, it was forcibly pushed aside, creating a clear path to the outside world.
