After taking the scroll, dark Miko Tsubaki immediately opened it in her hands.
Then... one evil character after another appeared on the scroll. In that instant... Tsubaki felt the world's malice toward her.
Looking at those characters, she felt a chaotic, frenzied emotion forming in her mind at just the first glance.
Something born from the source of evil made Tsubaki feel as though she might go mad.
The next moment, Tsubaki hurriedly closed the Scroll of Evil Arts and looked up at Takiyasha Hime before her.
Was this... really what had made Takiyasha Hime so powerful? Such a powerful negative influence, yet Takiyasha Hime had never shown it before. She had seemed completely unaffected.
Too terrifying!
"You should have experienced it already! This is the evil terror born of laws... every character represents the most fundamental evil energy. If you cannot withstand this powerful negative influence, then... it will be of no benefit to you at all..."
Holding the Golden Pill, Takiyasha Hime looked at Tsubaki, who had closed the scroll, and calmly explained.
"Is there no other way to resist its influence?" Tsubaki fell silent for a moment before asking unwillingly.
"No. It is precisely because of that influence that you can gain power from it. If you use something else to block its influence, then it is nothing more than a sheet of waste paper."
Takiyasha Hime immediately shattered her hopes.
"I see! I understand. Before nightfall, I will return it to Your Highness." Though somewhat discouraged, Tsubaki did not give up.
Since even Takiyasha Hime could do it, why couldn't she?
She refused to believe she was inferior to anyone else.
Kikyo was like that, and so was Takiyasha Hime!
"Suit yourself!"
Takiyasha Hime shrugged, utterly unconcerned.
"Then this subordinate will take her leave first!"
"Go!"
