Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 718

As Cecily realized she was trapped and couldn't budge an inch, panic crept in.

Weren't talismans supposed to be ineffective against her?

"System!" she called out desperately. The system's energy surged from within her, and the golden chain of sigils binding her began to melt away.

Shannon had always known that normal talismans wouldn't work on Cecily, but she was surprised that even the golden-light-enhanced sigil chain was being resisted.

But it didn't matter. Her plan was just to temporarily restrain Cecily and the system in her body.

Without sparing a glance at the dissolving sigil chains around Cecily, Shannon quickly formed a mudra with one hand to send four black talismans toward Cecily.

Her fingers waved intricate sigils in the air as she chanted in a clear voice, "By command of the golden mouth, let all be revealed…"

If Juniper was around, he would have recognized these as dispel talismans. It was the same talisman Shannon had used to free Kiley from the doll, but the current talismans were noticeably different.

As Scott was still confused, he quickly ducked behind a pillar as soon as Shannon made her move. He knew that though there was nothing he could do to help, he should stay out of Shannon's way.

The four black talismans whizzed toward Cecily and circled her to form a fast-spinning ring.

As Cecily noticed that the array beneath her feet hadn't fully dissolved and now another spell was targeting her, she knew that Shannon had come well-prepared.

She thought she'd caught Shannon off guard, but she turned out to be the one ambushed instead. The system was now her only hope.

"System! Do something!"

The system had detected the abnormality in the spell that felt like an innate kryptonite. It unleashed a wave of energy to attack the four talismans.
