Nyssa's expression remained calm as Luna stared at her in shock. "You know what the Spirit Locking Talisman does," she said evenly, "but you don't yet understand its full potential." She lifted one finger slightly, as if placing weight on an invisible scale. "When five thousand of them are stacked together and activated in sequence, they are capable of suppressing a Tier-Ten beast."
"A Tier-Ten?" Luna gasped, the words leaving her mouth before she could stop herself.
Nyssa nodded once. "Yes. That is precisely why Blossom Tower never sold these talismans on the open market." She turned her gaze toward the distant wall, her voice steady and measured. "We have been stockpiling them quietly, testing their limits, refining activation methods. Your husband only supplies us with one to two thousand Spirit Locking Talismans per month. With such numbers, all we could do was wait."
She turned back to Luna. "But if he truly needs funds urgently, then this changes things."
