Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2203

Everyone saw it.

"That's… Rook!"

Under the Soul Tree, Rook's supernatural strength flared uncontrollably as he let out a guttural roar.

Gone was the usually composed and dignified Rook. In his place now stood a man with disheveled white hair and sunken face, but the true alarm came from the black smoke intertwined with his supernatural strength.

The black smoke filled with malice surged outward with his supernatural strength. Worse still, it was being absorbed by Soul Tree.

A fox demon cried out in horror, "Soul Tree! Rook's supernatural strength is making the Soul Tree wither!"

Before them, Soul Tree was turning black and brittle at a speed visible to the naked eye after absorbing Rook's supernatural strength. Hanging from its branches, countless soul bells were beginning to darken with its wither.

Beneath the tree, Caelan was shriveled and drained. He was huddled in terror, but few spared him a second glance in the chaos.

The moment Louise took in the scene, she unleashed two mind domains without hesitation, forcibly separating Rook and Soul Tree into distinct domains.

Though she had no idea what was happening, she had to stop Rook's supernatural strength from corrupting the Soul Tree further.

The soul bells on Soul Tree represented the lives of every Wynthorpe clansman, and she would not allow them to be extinguished.

Rook seemed to sense her intent. Despite being under the control of malice and spreading supernatural energy, he restrained his roar and forced out a hoarse reminder.

"Kill… Caelan!"

He was not the true cause of the malice; it was Caelan.

By the time Louise realized what was happening, Caelan had been swept into her mind domain along with Soul Tree.
