"This is power!"
Bai Chen coldly sheathed the blade. It all seemed to happen in an instant, and the once-aggressive man and monster lay quietly on the ground.
Then something miraculous seemed to occur—Hiyori's body actually began to dissipate before Bai Chen's eyes!
"..."
Bai Chen caught a wisp of drifting fluorescence, his face blank. He hadn't used that much force, had he? She had turned into light?
"Good. Then you can finally be free, like your sister."
Bai Chen's powerful senses caught what sounded like someone speaking softly. Looking closely, he discovered a... female ghost whose appearance bore some resemblance to Yae Sakura!?
If Theresa saw this thing, wouldn't she ascend to heaven on the spot?
But Bai Chen also knew who she was: Yae Sakura's younger sister, Yae Rin—the catalyst that had driven Yae Sakura to fall.
When she was alive, ignorant and foolish villagers had severed the tendons in her hands and feet, then sacrificed her to their so-called god in exchange for rain.
Sigh, she was a pitiful child. But her soul had actually remained here for five hundred years? The Stigmata space really was something else.
"You're Sakura's younger sister, aren't you?"
Bai Chen walked straight over. Since he had seen her, there was no reason to let her go.
"Thank you, big brother. Thank you for saving my sister."
Yae Rin revealed a sorrowful smile. Though she was happy that her sister had been freed, she herself had left her sister far too early.
Wow. This was the first time anyone in this world had called Bai Chen "big brother." Why was he a little moved?
"Hmph, hmph, hmph! That little bit of gratitude isn't enough. Praise me more!"
Bai Chen spread his arms and shouted. He liked hearing others praise his great achievements!
