Fiona was caught off guard and bound by the mystic chain, immediately letting out a wild roar as she tried to break free.
Shannon saw that her supernatural energy was almost entirely wrapped in black putrefaction, pushing her into a crazed state. The strength was so immense that she dared not relax for a moment.
With her hands forming the mudra, Shannon's spiritual power gathered at her fingertips. As her energy grew stronger, the power around the mystic chain intensified.
The chain tightened, and Fiona was instantly immobilized.
As Shannon thought she had completely suppressed her, Fiona's black supernatural energy suddenly gathered in one spot.
The next moment, a bear claw made of supernatural energy broke through the gaps in the chains and fiercely swiped toward Shannon.
Benjamin furrowed his brows, about to pull Shannon back. However, her expression remained unchanged.
Her hands stayed in place, but two fox tails instantly appeared behind her. The snow-white tails struck from both sides, tightly wrapping around the bear claw.
At the same time, the tips of the fox tails glowed with golden light, slowly purifying the black supernatural energy on the claw.
Benjamin was momentarily stunned, instinctively looking at a certain spot on Shannon's chest. He didn't speak but quickly moved forward, his fingertips glowing with golden light as he pressed them to Fiona's forehead.
With both sides beginning to purify at the same time, the black putrefaction around Fiona quickly faded.
As the supernatural energy on her body returned to normal, it seemed that Fiona could no longer hold on. With a thud, she transformed back into a juvenile bear cub.
Shannon promptly released the mystic chain around her, and Fiona instantly lost all her strength, collapsing weakly onto the ground.
Immediately, Ava and Horace held their daughter.
With no time to climb the stairs, he quickly used teleportation to bring her directly to the location.
It was clear that while there had been a fight earlier, considering the room was in disarray, the torn and broken figurines, cards, and posters scattered on the floor and walls weren't the result of a mere altercation.
Coupled with the words from Fiona's parents, Shannon could roughly guess what had happened.
A mischievous child, whether human or demon, was always a possibility. But she hadn't expected Fiona to be so triggered by the child's mischief, causing the putrefaction inside her to flare up.
It left Shannon unsure whether she should be relieved or resigned.
After informing the Demon Control Agency, she interrupted the ongoing conversation. "Aside from the juvenile bear, the rest of you present, especially the bear cub that had contact with her, need to come with us."
She then turned to Ava and Horace, adding, "If you need to report damages or file a claim for the destruction in this room, it can be handled at the DCA as well."
