Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2232

By using Trevaris' body as a conduit, Velquin's divine soul could be thoroughly transferred into him. At least, that was Shannon and Benjamin's original plan.

Using the power of the chroyan branch to travel back in time and find Velquin, then strengthening Trevaris' soul with a trace of Velquin's soul power to break free from Vlad's control had been a risky first step.

Yet, the second step couldn't have been more crucial—rescuing Velquin's soul, which had been devoured by Vlad.

Shannon hadn't directly confronted Vlad. Therefore, she couldn't be sure of Velquin's soul's condition, until moments ago…

What she saw wasn't just Velquin's intact soul. Instead, it had been resisting Vlad from within all along, chipping away at his strength. In fact, even Vlad himself had been trying to expel it.

Now, with both sides pushing in the same direction, this was their best chance to pull Velquin free.

Shannon had never intended for Trevaris to die along with Vlad. If the latter could've been destroyed so easily, Lucan and Velquin would never have needed to make such a final, tragic choice.

Rather than gambling on what might happen in the future after failing to eradicate Vlad, Shannon focused solely on the one she could save right now.

To her and Benjamin, Velquin was the one.

A surge of red light ignited in her domain, and at that moment, the power of phoenix within her soul was completely released.

The fiery, crimson energy rushed toward Trevaris, ultimately transforming into a single phoenix feather that entered his body. As soon as the feather entered, Trevaris' soul automatically absorbed it.

In an instant, his soul felt filled with newfound strength. He looked toward Shannon, recalling her earlier words to trust her.

Without hesitation, he abandoned the burning of his soul and, guided by his soul power, he reached out to Vlad, following her advice. He dug into Vlad's soul, searching for Velquin's essence.

Thanks to his psychic sensing of Velquin's soul, Trevaris quickly latched onto what seemed to be the target. However, he had no idea how to pull it out, let alone bring the soul fully into his own.

Amid his moment of helplessness, a somewhat fierce and domineering alligator snapping turtle emerged behind him.
