Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1472

Shannon settled the monkey demon in a safe spot and instructed Benji Gold to keep an eye on it so it wouldn't escape.

Then, she and Bella headed to an open space designated by the production crew.

The others knew Bella had abruptly run off earlier and seemed to have gotten into a scuffle. But due to the thunder drowning out the sound and the microphone signal cutting in and out, neither the production crew nor the livestream audience knew what'd happened before they arrived.

Despite the lack of details, it didn't stop everyone from feeling thrilled and full of anticipation. It seemed the two were about to duel, after all. Who wouldn't love watching a duel between mystic masters?

The audience vividly remembered the legendary duel between Shannon and Skylar from the previous season. The rain-casting ritual had practically cemented Shannon's fame.

Shannon remained calm, unlike the excited crowd. As for Bella, she was forcing herself to appear composed. No one understood Shannon's strength better than she did.

She knew she shouldn't provoke Shannon, especially not at this point. But she just couldn't accept it.

She'd endured all the hardships to make a bloody comeback and relied on a method she once disdained. Worst yet, she now had to use talismans originally crafted by Shannon.

Despite telling herself she was willing to let go of her pride, seeing Shannon in person made it impossible to suppress her emotions.

"How do you want to compete?" Bella asked. Though she knew her odds of winning against Shannon were slim if she hid the black smoke, she refused to give in in front of others.

But she hadn't expected Shannon's response. "I'm not competing with you. She is."

Shannon casually pointed to Leah, who was standing beside her.

Leah, who'd been eagerly waiting to see Shannon avenge her, was utterly stunned. "Shannon, you mean… I'm fighting?"

She looked utterly bewildered, while Bella frowned. She felt that Shannon was trying to humiliate her on purpose.

They weren't part of the mystic arts community and didn't view phantom helpers as unconventional or inappropriate. Instead, they thought having a phantom helper was super cool!

Without any warning, Bella hurled a thunder talisman. Then, she chanted a spell to summon the lightning.

Shannon remained rooted in place and unhurriedly signaled to Leah. "Ghostly shadow clone."

Leah calmly followed her instructions.

The crowd watched as a faint ghostly shadow materialized in front of Shannon. The shadow hovered in the air, and as Leah formed mudras with her hands, the ghastly energy split into halves.

In the end, there were four ghostly shadows.
