Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2164

Elowen could commune with the Divine Power and perceive the presence of all living beings.

No matter where Lucan was in the past, she could always pinpoint his presence in an instant. But now, she could no longer sense him.

After the fleeting moment of loss, Elowen's eyes gradually darkened. Then, her figure vanished before Shannon's eyes.

Shannon's heart clenched at the sight, but she didn't immediately follow. Instead, her gaze swept across the three dying Doomscourges sprawled before her.

Ignoring the damage to her divine soul, she formed a mudra with one hand and manifested three tails.

The three tails shot forward without hesitation and pierced through the chests of the beasts, nailing them to the ground. The beasts let out low, anguished cries, but the sounds were barely audible.

Only when she was certain they could stir no further did the fox tails behind Shannon slowly dissipate. Yet, the tails impaling the beasts transformed into stone pillars and pinned them in place.

With that done, Shannon's divine soul flickered even more weakly, but she couldn't be bothered. She drew her finger through the void, and the unique supernatural energy of a nine-tailed fox tore a spatial rift.

Following Elowen's lingering presence, she stepped into the rift and emerged in the royal city of Celestria.

As her foot touched down and the royal city came into view, Shannon was stunned.

When she'd left just months ago, the royal city had been a thriving scene. Delicate rooftops, wide streets, and the joyful send-off from a sea of commoners were still etched in her memory.

But now, the royal city was in ruins. The city walls had fallen, and blood had dyed the rivers red.

Within the city, things fared little better. Many buildings had been scorched to the ground. Though not as littered with corpses as the battlefield outside, the stone streets stained with blood were enough to reveal the ordeal that had swept through this place.

Shannon didn't linger and followed Elowen's presence through the air. Before she could reach the latter, Benjamin appeared before her.

He still wore his armor, now caked with blood and grime. His once-proud posture was replaced by a weariness never seen before.
