Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2161

There seemed to be a power hidden deep within Shannon's divine soul, restlessly stirring. She even had the presence of mind to wonder where the last Doomscourge was, now that three were here.

Could it be with Lucan or Benjamin?

…

What Shannon hadn't expected was that the last Doomscourge, Hundar, was neither with Lucan nor Benjamin. It was in the royal city of Celestria.

The capital was shrouded in black fog as the streets were filled with sounds of fighting and chaos.

No one could quite tell when things had begun to unravel. All they knew was that by the time people realized it, citizens of the capital had gone mad.

Minor frictions escalated into full-blown brawls, while petty squabbles turned into battles with knives and axes. Grudge and malice bloomed with such conflicts.

Amid the turmoil in the capital, a large army approached the city gates. The commander at its head was Lucius Corvay, who was supposed to be stationed far away in Luminorth.

Lucius bore the last name Corvay and hailed from a branch of the royal Corven family.

Back when Benemir had yet to ascend the throne, the former King had sent Lucius to Luminorth. No one would have guessed that now, he would march on the royal city with an entire garrison, when Celestria was under assault from all sides.

In the capital, Malcolm and the other courtiers were deep in discussion to respond to the day's upheaval.

Fights had broken out across the city, and the city guards could no longer keep up. Even Oracle Council, under the King's command, had been forced to mobilize in full.

Just then, they received a report that Lucius had brought his army to the royal gates.

Now, atop the towering city walls, Malcolm and the courtiers gazed at Lucius below.
