Louise's mind domain could manifest versions of herself from different timelines.
Shannon had once sparred with the five-tailed and seven-tailed Louise in this domain, gaining strength and mastery through repeated combat.
During those two years of training, Shannon had entered Louise's domain countless times, so she knew that Louise's mind domain had a special area that stored fragmented memories of significance.
Whenever Louise wished, she could sink into that section of her domain and relive any moment of her past. But now, that section of memory was clearly corrupted by malice.
The goal was probably to corrupt these precious memories, twist them into nightmares, and ultimately push Louise into birthing malice of her own.
As the thought struck Shannon, she didn't hold back. Once the black sludge that had once posed as "Edmund" tried to flee, she raised her hand and summoned the power of phoenix.
As a ball of phoenix flames ignited in her palm, it first took the form of a soaring fire phoenix and burned the escaping black sludge. Then, the fiery bird wheeled mid-air and shot toward the elder pinned to the wall.
When the elder's body was ensnared by phoenix flames, he let out a bone-chilling shriek.
The rift in the domain began oozing more of that inky black malice, but the phoenix flames spread swiftly and scorched it all away.
As Shannon fought, Louise withdrew her tail and narrowed her eyes at Shannon with suspicion.
"Aren't you my granddaughter? How are you using the power of phoenix?"
Shannon was utterly speechless. Well, that was a long story, and now wasn't the time for explanations.
Without further delay, Shannon darted to other memory fragments in Louise's domain and swiftly handled the malice trying to twist the latter's memories into something poisonous.
