There were so many Stigmata in the warehouse that keeping them there would only take up space. It was better to give them to close friends.
"This is too much! It's far too valuable." Kikyo shook her head and refused. Something that could directly increase one's strength without side effects was simply too valuable.
"Don't be like that... I have extras. Besides... didn't Kikyo-chan teach me barrier techniques too?"
"That's different."
"It's the same. Turn around! Now that you have the Sacred Jewel, you'll face more yokai in the future—perhaps even... Great Yokai. With your current strength, that'll be a lot of pressure.
"You wouldn't want the Sacred Jewel to be snatched away because you weren't strong enough, would you?"
"..." Hearing Yae Sakura's words, Kikyo fell silent.
Indeed, Kikyo was very strong. She had been born with powerful spiritual power. Over the years, ninety-nine percent of yokai could not withstand a single arrow from her.
But... Kikyo had never believed that meant she could defeat every yokai.
This was an age of chaos, a golden age for yokai.
And the responsibility of protecting the Sacred Jewel was immense...
The stronger she became, the more hope there would be.
"Then... thank you!"
"You're welcome."
After Kikyo turned around, Yae Sakura took out a set of four-star Stigmata.
Elizabeth Bathory
Although there were a great many Stigmata in the warehouse, there actually were not that many five-star ones.
Aside from keeping a few of the necessary ones, she had dismantled the extras to exchange for the Stigmata she wanted.
Only four-star Stigmata and below were countless in the warehouse...
Two- and three-star Stigmata were too weak. After thinking it over, she decided to give her four-star ones!
This Elizabeth Bathory set was as well-rounded as the Czar Set. Of course,
