"Hmm..."
Just as Durandal was expressionlessly considering how to catch the culprit, she suddenly sensed a faint trace of life ahead.
There were still cats that had not died?
With that thought, Durandal slowly walked toward the source of that life force.
"Lady Durandal..."
Seeing Durandal go in, Sheele hurried after her.
When Durandal arrived before the corpse of a cat whose features were completely unrecognizable, she stopped.
It looked dead, but it had not yet drawn its last breath.
Was the cat also filled with resentment, desperately yearning to live?
Durandal did not know, but...
"Abyss Flower!"
Durandal raised her right hand and spread her palm.
A weapon... which appeared to be a pure white knight's lance, appeared in her hand.
Patterns were engraved along the outside of the lance, and those patterns were the origin of the Schariac family crest.
This was the Sixth Divine Key, a weapon forged from the core of the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death. By reversing the Herrscher of Death's power, it possessed the greatest power of "creation," a lance of creation.
The Divine Key Abyss Flower consisted of two parts: the pure white knight's lance on its outer side, White Flower, and the black knight's sword on its inner side, Abyss.
White Flower inherited the Sixth Herrscher's authority over "creation" and possessed the ability to regenerate. Abyss inherited the Sixth Herrscher's authority over "Withering" and possessed the ability to decompose.
"I am the black that comes from the abyss. I am the white that descends from the heavens. Born before creation, existing after annihilation; I shall freely give the water of the spring of life to the thirsty."
