Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1368

The overwhelming pressure from the Mini Stone Turtle filled Brooklynn with such terror that she wanted to scream but found herself mute. Her mouth hung open, but she could barely manage a plea for mercy.

All she could do was watch in horror as her spiritual energy was drained away and flowed into the Mini Stone Turtle in an endless stream.

"No… Don't eat me up," she begged. She didn't want to die.

As if hearing her silent plea, black smoke began to spread through the room.

A man's disdainful voice followed. "Pathetic. What a useless piece of garbage."

The black smoke surged toward the Mini Stone Turtle and threatened to engulf it.

Just then, the door to the room burst open with a resounding bang, and a commanding voice rang out. "Heavenly signs appear, reveal your form; close all gates, and you shall seal!"

With the spell, a glowing malachite talisman shot into the air and released spiritual light that wrapped around the black smoke. It began dragging the black smoke into the talisman thread by thread.

The malachite talisman dimmed rapidly as it absorbed the black smoke, yet the influx of black smoke seemed endless and poured in faster than the talisman could contain.

At the doorway, Shannon frowned deeply.

Then, a cold sinister voice seeped from the void. It was Nash. "So, you can seal the black smoke. But unlike the idiotic Alaric, my black smoke is far from easy to suppress."

Shannon's heart sank. She glanced at the floating talisman that was now nearly black. Cracks spidered across its surface, and it couldn't hold much longer.

Shannon retrieved the malachite talisman without hesitation and sealed it within another layer of talismans.

As she acted, the eerie voice chuckled. "You can't seal me forever. Your turn will come."

Yet Tortoise the System remained unfazed as its inner core processed the black smoke effortlessly. Each surge of black smoke disappeared, yet it showed not the slightest discomfort.

When Nash realized the tortoise was no ordinary creature, he stopped emitting the black smoke. "What… What tortoise is this?"

It appeared like an ordinary mosaic scutes tortoise, but it'd devoured more black smoke than Nash had anticipated.

Shannon didn't answer aloud, but her mind buzzed with Tortoise the System's triumphant roar. "I'm the almighty System born of the Divine power! You think your measly smoke can take me down? Ha!"

Tortoise the System floated triumphantly in control of the black smoke it'd devoured, just like during the events in Harrisfield Village.

Now that it was eager to prove its power, Tortoise the System turned its glowing eyes toward Brooklynn, who was still locked in the Mini Stone Turtle's crushing bite.
