Shannon's eyes turned cold and flashed with a red glint. Without hesitation, she charged toward the malice entwining Louise's divine soul.
Unleashing the full force of her nine-tailed supernatural powers, she raised her hand, and a ray of golden light descended upon Louise's divine soul.
As Shannon formed a mudra with her fingers, her snowy fox tail flared with red spiritual energy.
"With all laws reduced to flame comes my divine power... By the decree of pardon, ignite and shatter all!"
With her spell, a majestic phoenix burst into existence behind her. As her fiery tails unfurled, the phoenix split into nine blazing heads, each a flaming phoenix of its own, soaring from all directions to strike at the demonic souls formed from malice.
As golden light and flames spread, the sticky malice that had clung to Louise's soul seemed to meet its nemesis. It began to peel away like scales, leaving her soul untouched and whole.
Louise looked up. Her eyes landed on the approaching Shannon, and for a fleeting moment, light flickered in her gaze.
In the blink of an eye, Shannon landed before her. Her fiery nine tails lashed out as she passed through the swarm of demonic souls of malice and swept them aside with terrifying ease.
Whether it was Thalia or Reuben, she treated them all the same and was unfazed. Her efficiency was so striking that even Louise couldn't help giving her a second glance in surprise.
What she didn't know was that Shannon had torched George, Thalia, Reuben, and even a version of herself in those fragmented domains. To her, these were nothing but fake, shallow illusions.
Seeing Louise look at her, Shannon calmly said, "Take a break, Grandma. Leave these things to me."
Things—that was what she called them. No matter what shape they took, they were just things to Shannon.
Louise raised an eyebrow at the word "Grandma", but she would never step back and have Shannon fight alone.
When she realized that this was all Caelan's doing, her expression sharpened. She stared coldly at the black malice now swallowing half of the domain and flatly said, "Since there isn't a true form, I'll just burn it all down."
With that, she soared into the air once more and momentarily left the malice-formed demonic souls to Louise.
Lifting her hands, she summoned a circle of golden sigils, each flaring to life around the borders of the domain. The golden light drove all the black sludge inward and forced them to the area where Louise stood.
Then, her hands moved swiftly to form mudras. The strength of her nine tails, combined with three additional strands of fox demon power, surged outward.
As Shannon's supernatural powers erupted, the illusion of a tenth tail began to shimmer alongside her nine tails for just a breath. Then, it transformed into an enormous fire phoenix.
The fire phoenix spanned half the entire domain and descended like a world-scorching meteor, straight toward the heart of the black malice…
