Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1773

Still, Shannon wouldn't let the man succeed.

A mystic chain shot out and wrapped tightly around the man's body. Her mini-amulet followed through and cleanly sliced off his already-charred tentacles.

The man collapsed onto the water's surface and let out an agonized wail. "My hands! My hands are gone!"

Suddenly, his lips curled into a twisted grin. "Just kidding."

He had more than just two hands.

As he spoke, three long tentacles emerged from the water behind Shannon and struck her unguarded back without hesitation.

Swish!

Shannon's fox tails unfurled as supernatural energy crackled like hidden blades. The tentacles were effortlessly severed and fell lifelessly into the sea.

Shannon stared at the screaming sea demon and commented, "You really are ugly."

The sea demon was utterly at a loss for words.

After swiftly finishing him off, Shannon realized she'd been standing on the water this entire time because of Benjamin's power.

A complex emotion flashed through her eyes as she thought back to the moment she'd teleported to his side.

Benjamin had once told her that because of their unique connection through the red mark, he could always pull her to his side instantly.

But in truth, he'd always been able to do it even without that mark. That mark had disappeared when he'd returned to his true form.

His ability to bring her to his side had never been because of that red mark; it was his ability to teleport. He'd lied to her.

And when she reached for him just now, he responded exactly the same way he always had.
