The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 372 The Dissipating Evil God System

Scarlett Jennings’ almond-shaped eyes gleamed sharply, revealing rare traces of anger.

The system, however, showed no fear.

It might have hesitated against Purple Thunder, but as for a mere Peach Wood Sword? It didn’t even take it seriously.

Without hesitation, it advanced toward the wooden sword.

Then, it was abruptly stripped of one-third of its energy by the sword.

The system froze in shock.

Who exactly was this Scarlett Jennings?!

Summoning such horrifying Purple Thunder was already terrifying enough.

But now, to inflict damage with just a Peach Wood Sword?

This was... unthinkable!

If the system had a face, it would surely be wearing a stunned expression.

Scarlett Jennings, however, showed no surprise.

Ordinary Peach Wood Swords used as magic artifacts typically relied on Thunderstruck Peach Wood, but even among Thunderstruck Peach Wood, there were differences.

The branch in her hand was a millennia-old piece of Thunderstruck Wood left to her by her master—and not just ordinary Thunderstruck Peach Wood.

It was Heavenly Thunder-struck Wood.

Though she didn’t know where her master had acquired such rare material, a Peach Wood Sword imbued with the aura of Heavenly Thunder was born to suppress all evil and malevolence.

Enhanced by her own blood, this so-called Evil God System would meet an inescapable doom today.

Especially considering the eerie appearance of Fire Thunder earlier, which seemed to be fueled by some force protecting this so-called Evil God System.

Scarlett Jennings had a gut feeling that if she let it escape today, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Samuel Chalmers’ earlier strike of Heavenly Thunder would have been all for naught too.

Thinking of this, Scarlett Jennings decisively cast a protective array around Samuel Chalmers. Then, gripping her sword, she charged toward the remaining red energy mass.

Having just suffered a severe blow, the system dared not confront her head-on. It instantly spun around and fled.

As for rebinding itself to Samuel Chalmers? At this moment, the system couldn’t even afford to consider that.

It needed to save its own existence first!

The onlookers, including Caius Carew and his group, couldn’t see the system’s true form. From their perspective, they simply saw Scarlett Jennings, cold-eyed and wielding her sword, striking at seemingly random targets.

Her movements were swift as the wind, and the Peach Wood Sword glowed with ripples of spiritual energy wherever it cut.

Victor Quintero’s eyes burned with envy. He couldn’t help but shoot frenzied glances at his team leader.

This person was a must-have for their bureau!

No need to wait for her academy graduation—she should be reserved immediately!

Caius Carew understood Victor Quintero’s intent, but this wasn’t his decision to make.

Not to mention, Scarlett Jennings had just enrolled, and the academy’s headmaster would not easily release her.

And with Scarlett Jennings’ obvious aptitude...

He feared he wouldn’t even be able to snatch her for his division.

Better to wait and see.

Meanwhile, within the array, Scarlett Jennings’ spiritual energy appeared to show signs of depletion. Caius Carew wanted to assist but couldn’t see the system, rendering him incapable of intervening.

All they could do was maintain the talisman array to ensure the entity wouldn’t escape.

The system was being relentlessly chased by Scarlett Jennings, retrograding in chaos as its red energy mass lost more fragments under her strikes. The system was furious.

It had detected traces of its sub-system energy on the Peach Wood Sword and finally understood how Scarlett Jennings had been able to pinpoint and trap it so accurately.

It wanted to reclaim that energy, but no matter what it tried, the energy refused its control—as if... it had entirely become Scarlett Jennings’ possession.

There was no way the system would bind itself to her again.

Its sole desire at this moment was escape!

"System?"

Not receiving a response, Azura instinctively looked upward—and in that moment, Scarlett Jennings darted forward.

She instantly snatched the doll from Azura’s hand and simultaneously delivered a fierce kick to Azura’s side.

Azura’s entire body was sent flying out of the talisman array, landing harshly outside.

"Brother!"

Scarlett Jennings called out sharply. Donovan Jennings immediately understood her intent, issuing a command that sent two accompanying guards charging over like leopards to pin Azura Loomis to the ground.

The system had intended to use Azura’s airborne exit as a chance to escape, but Scarlett Jennings maintained her watchful position. Forced to retreat, the system shot toward the uppermost heights of the array.

At this altitude, she wouldn’t be able to strike it!

Sure enough, Scarlett Jennings came to a halt and raised her head to look at it.

The system let out a cold laugh.

Ha! No matter how powerful her Peach Wood Sword was, it was useless if she couldn’t reach it.

But before the system’s joy lasted a single second, Scarlett Jennings formed a sealing gesture with one hand and began murmuring an incantation.

The next moment, the Peach Wood Sword trembled before slipping out of her grasp. Its point steadied as it aimed directly at the system.

Scarlett Jennings waved her mantra-sealing hand, and the Peach Wood Sword instantly surged toward the system’s position with relentless force.

The system reacted swiftly by darting away, but the sword pursued closely, eventually cornering it again. Scarlett unleashed a burst of spiritual power, accompanied by a streak of Golden Light.

The system’s red energy mass was instantly split into two by the Peach Wood Sword, imbued with Golden Light.

The two halves of energy shuddered violently, beginning to dissipate into wisps of smoke from the point of the split.

Until the very last trace of red energy vanished, Scarlett Jennings let out all the strength in her body. The Peach Wood Sword clattered to the ground as she collapsed backward...
