My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2503

Harkin swiftly transformed into her spirit form and dodged Teresa's strike. She was shocked.

Teresa, a seemingly ordinary youth, had somehow evaded Harkin's attack. Not only that, she had somehow managed to appear in the air above her silently. "Wait... It was then!" Harkin recalled how her powers had been briefly disrupted by a strange force.

She did not expect Teresa to be able to activate her technique in that split moment to protect herself. However, the earlier attack failed to harm Harkin. Teresa was torn as she knew that with her limited abilities, there was no way she could defeat a fox demon that had lived for hundreds of years.

Suddenly, Teresa struck her forehead with a stick and came back to her senses. "Even from a distance, her powers are influencing my emotions... The current array isn't strong enough to protect me. What should I do?"

Suddenly, Harkin lunged at her with terrifying speed. "Little brat, you're dead!" She aimed her claws directly at Teresa. Yet, to Harkin's surprise, Teresa's body instinctively reacted, dodging the strike just in time.

"Hundred Horses? What an annoying ability."

Teresa thought of a solution just then and immediately dashed toward the three. Harkin sneered from her vantage point, amused at the attempt. "You think you can break them from my control? Do you even have the power for that?" With a wave of her hand, Harkin controlled the three to attack Teresa.

Teresa reacted quickly and activated her array, but Harkin was confident that the three had absorbed too much of her scarlet true energy to be influenced by anyone else.

However, Teresa had a different plan. She knew the three of her companions shared one important similarity—each carried a powerful elder immortal spirit within them. Considering that, what she was about to do was simple.

There were two ways to summon these spirits. The first was through an invocation by the host. The second was an automatic response by the spirit to protect its host, like in Enid's case. Since the three of them were still conscious, the spirits could not take over and protect them.

So, Teresa quickly split her staff into dual staves and charged at the three. She struck each of them once with swift, precise blows, applying the Hundred Horse mark on each of them.

"Formation! Obey!"

“Don’t worry. Our powers manifested fully this time. The girl is clever,” Blaque said seriously.

The three immortals looked at Teresa, who was now sitting on the ground, visibly relieved.

Mr. White quickly approached Teresa, and with a simple gesture, extracted the residual scarlet true energy from her body.

“Little girl, you should take a rest for now.”

“I-I’m fine...” Teresa protested.

Elder Ever said, “Descendant of the Gallagher family, go and check the situation inside. Leave this old rascal to us.”
