Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1268

Shannon smiled slightly at Lexie's confident declaration, but she instructed, "Focus."

Lexie nodded. She was about to assure Shannon of her progress when a surge of dark filth energy suddenly erupted from Heston's body.

Her eyes widened in alarm, and she quickly redirected her full attention to the task. She concentrated on channeling her spiritual energy and carefully inscribed the contract sigils on the Unmelting Bone.

But just as the sigils started to take shape, the Unmelting Bone's filth energy intensified. His previously subdued pupils turned entirely black and signaled its zombified instincts had overridden his remaining human consciousness.

The half-formed sigils were immediately repelled by the surging filth energy, and it was a clear sign that the Unmelting Bone was resisting the contract.

Shannon sensed the sudden danger in the array. The filth energy in the array had swelled and nearly engulfed the center.

"Lexie!" she urgently called out.

A moment later, Lexie gritted her teeth and responded, "Don't… worry!"

She resolved to try again, but her renewed attempt seemed to provoke the Unmelting Bone further. The dark filth energy condensed and lunged toward her like a tidal wave.

Startled, Lexie instinctively activated the memorial items placed around four points of the array. The memorial items rose and formed an invisible barrier blocking the incoming filth energy.

But the barrier was temporary at best.

The three Special Security Agents outside the array grew uneasy at the scene. The team leader's expression darkened as he spoke urgently, "This is a clear rejection from the Unmelting Boone. We must stop the ritual immediately, or the person inside will be in grave danger!"

Shannon had an equally grim expression. Her mind raced through potential solutions as she observed the overwhelming filth energy.
