Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1428

Heston moved like a ghost, the black smoke ineffective on him. With a fierce swipe, the black snakes and insects were swiftly reduced to dust and dispersed.

Once one threat was dealt with, he immediately flashed to another spot to tackle the next wave.

With Heston's protection, the pressure on Shannon eased considerably.

Feeling the urgency, Fennec picked up her pace in absorbing the power, while Shannon kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, checking for potential ambushes.

At that moment, she heard the system's hesitant voice. "Careful. That woman's black smoke… is also infused with the Might of the Divine Power."

The system had been aware of this since their previous encounter, but it had kept the information hidden from Shannon. The moment to reveal it had come—either now or never.

She grabbed the tortoise slightly harder than before. "What did you just say?"

The next second, a deafening boom sounded. Heston's body had been propelled backward by a powerful force. Following that, a woman's figure gradually emerged from the black smoke.

"Better late than never," Scarlett said casually, her tone laced with a gleeful satisfaction. She gazed at Thalia, continuing, "I know you're a half-demon, but seeing your mix of human and demon traits in person is truly unsettling."

"Mind your damn business!" Thalia refuted. The next instant, her entire body was swiftly engulfed by the black smoke and suspended in midair.

Shannon's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes, locked onto Scarlett, instantly filled with icy coldness. The latter easily noticed it.

"Don't look at me like that," she said, her eyes suddenly turning cold before stating her request, "Tell me how to unlock the portal to the alternate world, or I'll kill her right now."

If this were in the past, she could only dream about killing Thalia. However, the latter was visibly weakened now. Fennec, too, was desperately helpless despite her eagerness.

Scarlett had exhausted a tremendous amount of energy in that attack. The surrounding black smoke slowly dissipated, then began to swirl back toward her.

When she looked up, she revealed a smile at Shannon's reddened eyes. "If you don't want Wynthorpe to end up with the same fate as him, open the portal now."

Shannon's chest tightened. Thalia, trapped within the black smoke, was even more infuriated. "Don't forget, Scarlett, that you possess the Might of the Divine Power just as I do! The Divine Power will not let you leave this world!"

Being only a half-demon, Thalia was never strong enough to absorb the Might of the Divine Power alone.

At that time, Scarlett, seeing her gain such an opportunity, didn't hesitate to take a third of that power for herself. As a result, the three evil masters who had come to the alternate world with her were directly erased by the Divine Power.

Over the years, as guardians of the alternate world, they had maintained a careful balance, even when their battles were fierce. They always adhered to a certain limit because excessive use of the Might of the Divine Power would provoke the intervention of the Divine Power in this world.
