Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1801

Benjamin had just gathered a drop of blood, and once the fog barrier was completely established, he would have to purify the remaining putrefaction in the Crisea waters. Expending too much spiritual energy was far from ideal.

Yet even if that wasn't the best choice, there was nothing else they could do at the moment.

As Shannon nodded, Benjamin immediately teleported her to where Skylar maintained the array.

The Dulcimmers were present as well. They had to participate and prevent any unexpected mishaps since the bronze shield being used as the array's stabilizing item belonged to their family.

And now, there was a major accident.

Apart from Skylar and his team, who were channeling spiritual energy into the stabilizing item, the Dulcimmers were frantically trying to repair it. But the situation wasn't looking good.

The array's connection required a continuous flow of spiritual energy, yet the damaged stabilizing item kept leaking the energy infused into it. It was almost impossible to sustain for long.

The Dulcimmers grew anxious. "This won't work! Without the right materials to properly repair the bronze shield, it'll soon collapse again even if we temporarily patch it up."

Shannon quickly asked, "What kind of materials do we need?"

The Dulcimmers were highly skilled in both the creation and restoration of spiritual instruments. At this moment, one of them responded, "It would be best to use the same type of bronze as the original.

"But the only instrument made of that exact material is a treasure in the National Museum, and it's not something we can easily obtain."

That was why they'd used a similar substitute material for previous repairs.

The Dulcimmers continued, "It'd take too long though we could get the Special Security Agency to step in and retrieve it.

"And even if we do manage to retrieve it, it has to be refined before it can be used for repairs. Meanwhile, the spiritual energy supply must not be interrupted. There's no way we'll last that long."

Benjamin was about to volunteer to handle the spiritual energy supply when a chorus of clear voices called from not far away.

It was just like back then, when mystic masters rushed to Harrisfield Village to stop the Unmelting Bone and ghouls from escaping and harming people.

Shannon and the others felt their hearts pound with emotion, while Valentino showed a look of approval. "The future of the mystic arts community is in good hands."

No more words were needed. The newcomers rushed to Skylar's side and replaced those who were exhausted by continuing the transfer of spiritual energy into the bronze shield.

As the steady flow of spiritual energy continued, the Dulcimmers felt reassured. "Now all that's left is to find suitable repair materials."

Just as they said this, there came a splash from the waters. A group of over ten oceanids emerged from the sea.

Among them were men and women, including the Waveborne siblings, Verus and Coralie, who'd followed Shannon and Benjamin here.

Leading the group, Ondine wore a solemn expression as he spoke, "The heart-protecting scales of the oceanids are among the most resilient materials in existence. Can they be used to repair the stabilizing item?"
