Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2384

After wrapping things up in the alternate world, Shannon and Benjamin didn't return to the original world. Instead, they passed through the Skelldom and headed straight into the underworld.

The previous Underworld Pass Token had been taken by Velquin, used alongside Zidane to force open a ghost gate in the alternate world. Since then, it hadn't been recovered.

Now that everything was over, both Shannon and Benjamin wanted to see Velquin again.

Sure, the phoenix's divine soul was being used to suppress the malice in the Cavern of Calamity, but there were many others to do so.

Shannon might not have the strength now to help free Velquin, but if she could just see him with her own eyes, perhaps she could find another way.

The couple's visit to the underworld was unannounced. But Mordecai the Morvahn sensed them the moment they stepped in.

He knew why they had come.

With a glance full of quiet meaning, Mordecai looked at the two of them but didn't offer to guide them personally. Instead, he lifted a hand.

With a gust of wind, a small black paper figure fluttered to the ground.

Mordecai was still buried in the mountain of paperwork on his desk and didn't even look up. "It'll lead you to the Cavern."

With that, a black paper figure, larger than the ones Shannon made and marked with unique blue sigils, stood before Mordecai.

Though tiny, there was something cold and commanding about it, just like its owner.

Benji and Shanny Gold had already poked their heads out the moment the black paper figure appeared.

Then, the two paper figures jumped down, flanking the black one on either side, circling it with curious eyes.

The black paper figure seemed bothered by their presence. It turned its head, a wave of quiet authority rolling off it.

Benji and Shanny Gold were already smaller than it, and now with that pressure pressing down on them, they both took two steps back.

Before the two could run back to Shannon and Benjamin, Albany surged forward in a cloud of black smoke.

Still, her gut told her that there shouldn't be that many documents from Mystic.

Mordecai seemed so busy. Surely, he wasn't drowning in Mystic paperwork, right?

A flicker of doubt passed through Shannon's mind, but she didn't dwell on it.

The black paper figure was already gliding out of the grand hall on its cloud of black smoke, and the couple quickly turned to follow.

Albany, a beat late, snapped to attention and rushed after them with his two underlings in tow. Catching up to Shannon, it couldn't hold back a yell.

"It stole my move!"

With Ghost Mist gone, Albany was the only one who could command the black smoke. In other words, it was his signature move!

Now, this black paper figure of Morvahn had straight-up copied it!
