Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2046

Shannon suddenly turned toward Trevaris, a flicker of surprise and subtle curiosity flashing in her eyes.

In that brief moment of distraction, the talismanic glow she had cast collided with Trevaris' phoenix flame, striking the man.

The man let out a blood-curdling scream as he realized his hands and face were consumed by fire. But it was more than just a scream; it was a desperate attempt to extinguish the flames.

He tried to slap at his burning skin, but his body froze the next moment, stiff and unresponsive, as though he had lost all control over it.

The woman, once trapped by his grip, had already been frozen in fear. Seeing him scream but remain motionless, she hurriedly struggled and broke free, scrambling away from him.

An onlooker, though terrified, stepped forward and quickly grabbed the woman, pulling her into the crowd that had gathered around.

Then, what happened next was even more terrifying.

Just as the woman broke free from the man's grip, the flames that had originally only enveloped his head and hands suddenly surged, spreading rapidly to consume his entire body.

In an instant, the man became a figure engulfed in flames, burning fiercely.

Yet, despite his agonized screams, he remained completely frozen, unable to move.

Kai and Rhodes, who had rolled up their sleeves, ready to interfere, quickly halted upon realizing Shannon and Trevaris had struck.

Immediately, they said, "Hey, Shannon? Don't you think this will raise suspicions?"

The fire certainly looked unusual, and Shannon agreed. In normal circumstances, no ordinary person would stay motionless while being burned alive.

With a swift wave of her hand, she removed the immobilization talisman holding the man in place.

As soon as the spell was lifted, his body seemed to break free from the constraint, and he quickly began to move.

Screaming in pain, the man started rolling on the ground, desperately trying to extinguish the flames by any means, but the fire continued to burn with no sign of easing.

Although the onlookers had just witnessed him assaulting his girlfriend and attempting to commit further harm, they couldn't bear to watch a living person being burned alive in front of them.
