Lily's "knife skills" were so good that they caught Iver somewhat off guard.
These Children of the Moon had not even realized they were dead before they were scattered across the floor and sealed by Shadow Power.
Their bones and internal organs had already burned away, turning into ashes that covered the floor. Only these pure chunks of flesh remained. If Iver looked with his right eye, he could see that each one had been cleverly wrapped in a layer of Shadow Power. However, this Shadow Power did not come entirely from adaptation... Some of it also came from love.
—Lily had spontaneously awakened part of the power belonging to the Path of the Beast. This was something Iver had not expected.
After all, when Selene was born, she had already cut away all the power of the Path of Love from Lily. She had even cut away Lily's witch profession and evolved it into Moon Witch.
And now, Lily had regained a new power!

This meant that even after undergoing self-severance... one did not necessarily lose all talent in that area. Perhaps the different composition of the Ovum Moon Grimoire was also the reason Lily had gradually developed a new "beast heart" of her own after completely cutting away the Path of Love.
But regardless, Iver now clearly understood one thing—the self that had already been severed did not necessarily mean an eternal farewell. Even someone who originally lacked the slightest aptitude for any Path might still give birth to a new power from the void.

That "material"
