Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1666

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

The moment Onyx lunged at Cornelius, the latter reacted instantly by lifting his leg to kick Onyx aside with precise force.

Onyx hit the ground but barely paused before charging at him again. Cornelius expressionlessly took a step back and applied more force to his kick.

After slamming into the metal cage, blood trickled from Onyx's wounds, yet he seemed utterly numb to the pain. Instead, he lunged at Cornelius once more as if he'd gone mad…

…

On the other end of the video call, Shannon, who had yet to hang up, witnessed everything.

Tanger, who'd been sobbing moments ago, froze. His ears nervously twitched at the odd snarls and fighting sounds coming from the phone.

Shannon's eyes narrowed as she caught a glimpse of Onyx's blood-red pupils through the screen and the black supernatural energy that surged around him.

Her heart missed a beat as realization struck her that something was very wrong over at their side.

There was no time to waste waiting for help to arrive. She left the rescued animals and confronted thugs under the system's care and rushed to Bianca's location.

Seeing that, Tanger clung to her and yowled, "I'm coming too! Take me to Onyx!"

Shannon had no patience to argue. She let him hold on and was about to leave when a familiar voice rang out above her, "Shannon!"

When she looked up, a wyrm glided through the air and swooped down toward her. Immediately after, it shifted into Kai.

His expression was full of displeasure. "You ditched class and didn't bring me along!"

She dragged him to school, yet she ran off on an adventure alone. That wasn't what best friends were supposed to do!

The moment they entered, blinding golden light filled her vision. Shannon spotted Benjamin at a glance.

The warehouse was in shambles. Cornelius and Bianca looked a little worse for wear, but the one in far worse shape was Onyx, who was pinned to the ground and held down by the two.

His body was covered in wounds, with blood oozing from multiple injuries. Yet, despite his weakened state, black supernatural energy surged violently as though he wanted to tear apart everything around him.

Before he could struggle free from the constraint, Benjamin, standing before him, raised his hand. A streak of golden light from his palm shot straight into Onyx's forehead.

As the golden light sank in, Shannon watched as the black supernatural energy surging around seemed to be purified and returned to its original color.

Onyx's blood-red pupils faded. Instead of struggling just like before, his body went limp as he collapsed onto the ground, barely breathing.

"Onyx!" Tanger's heart-wrenching cry jolted Shannon back to reality.
