Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1204

The crowd underneath that'd been waiting for the descent of the heavenly lightning watched in confusion.

The calamity clouds had gathered and cackled with fire lightning, only for them to disperse quickly.

Could it be that the Unmelting Bone had yet to form, so the Divine Power decided against striking the heavenly lightning? That was just ridiculous!

Shannon couldn't bother to complain about the Divine Power's antics and resolved to handle everything herself. Her chest felt faintly stuffy.

When she'd been waiting for the heavenly lightning to strike, she'd sensed another faint energy aside from the energy of the Divine Power. But it'd been too obscured by the Divine Power's overwhelming energy for her to discern clearly.

Now that Hexspawn was reaching the edge of the barrier, she couldn't afford to be distracted. She gritted her teeth and threw out three thunder talismans toward the former.

Though they knew his identity, they had no choice but to stop him now that he was a zombie.

As Maya brushed aside the humiliation she'd endured from Lexie and Mike, she stumbled forward and urgently said, "All the villagers have turned into ghouls. We need to leave at once. You must open the barrier now!"

Mike frowned at her words. "Are you an idiot? You just said we have ghouls crawling all over the village, and if we open the barrier to let them out, do you have any idea how catastrophic that'd be?"

Their best option was to hold their ground and wait for reinforcements from mystic masters.

Lexie added, "There are several exits in this village. Letting just one ghoul escape could cause unimaginable trouble, so don't give reckless orders. And what are you even doing here?"

Maya had been disqualified and barred from participating in the third round. Yet now she was standing before them…
