Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2303

Along with the planted dream, a trace of malice took root.

Lying on the couch, Adam appeared to be caught in an endless struggle within his dream.

On one hand, he fought to reject the dark suggestion invading his mind. But on the other hand, there was a whisper of selfishness luring him toward a slow, inevitable fall.

A shadow had appeared in the quiet room at some point. The figure grew clearer with the shifts in Adam's dream and gained form little by little until the silhouette of a man emerged.

If Shannon had been there, she would have recognized that the figure looked almost exactly like Vlad's true form she'd once seen.

The frail and sickly-looking man now slowly reached out a tentative hand toward Adam.

But just as his hand was about to touch the figure on the couch, a cold, commanding voice rang out from within the room.

The woman's voice was sharp, clear, and full of warning as she instructed, "Get lost. Stay away from him."

The black figure turned his head and saw Thalia standing there, having returned without a sound. Behind her, five fox tails flared outward as her cold eyes locked onto him.

He lifted his chin slightly and seemed unfazed by her presence.

They were in the alternate world and constrained by the Rules of the Alternate Divine Power. Even if she could manifest five tails, she posed no threat to him.

Ignoring her warning, the man turned and attempted to reach for Adam once more.

But just as he moved, Thalia whipped out an amulet etched with sigils from nowhere. Moving at lightning speed, she raised her amulet high and severed one of her fox tails with one swift slice.

The fox tail scattered into specks of supernatural light. Before the figure could react, the space twisted around them, and they were suddenly pulled into another domain.

In the domain, the black figure finally shed his disguise and revealed his true appearance. It was Vlad, or rather, the alternate Vlad, who Shannon and Elowen had slain together in the Ten-Tailed's domain.
