Chapter 115: Abyss Flower get✔
Just as Shun was about to hand the Abyss Flower over to Durandal, the Abyss Flower suddenly pulled Shun's hand and changed its position.
Durandal reached out to grab it, but the Abyss Flower dodged again. In the end, it stopped pretending entirely. Several green vines grew from the spear body and tightly wrapped around Shun's arm.
Shun looked at Durandal with an innocent face and said: "This really wasn't me!" Who would have thought the Abyss Flower would be reluctant to leave? Logically speaking, it should like Durandal quite a bit!
"This…" Durandal hesitated a little. She could also see that Shun's hand hadn't exerted any force the whole time and was being pulled along by the Abyss Flower. Moreover, the vines had grown on their own and wrapped around Shun.
The Abyss Flower had its own will—this much Durandal knew. She had used it for several years and had some understanding of the Abyss Flower's temperament.
She wanted to respect her partner's will, but the Abyss Flower had always been Schicksal's property. She was merely granted the right to use it.
If it were her personal weapon, "Eternal Silence," she could decide to give it to Shun herself. But the Abyss Flower… the significance of a Divine Key was too great.
"I understand. This matter still needs to be reported to the Bishop." Durandal had no intention of snatching it back now. Even if Otto disagreed later, they could sit down and discuss it.
"Shun, Theresa-senpai, please wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back." Durandal said to the two of them, then turned and left the room. She was probably going to contact Otto.
"Shun, should we… hurry up and leave…" Theresa poked Shun's newly grown right hand, which looked delicate and easily breakable.
"No, are you really going to screw over your own niece like this?" Shun looked at this white-haired shorty in surprise.
"Grandpa won't do anything to her anyway. Just say I stole the Abyss Flower and that'll be it." Theresa said indifferently. Truly a case of the child selling the grandfather's land without feeling any pain.
"You damn genius."
"Hehe, stop praising me, it's embarrassing. Anyway, your Second Divine Key runs fast—no one can catch up to you. Once we reach the Far East Branch, Grandpa won't come looking for me either."
The more Theresa spoke, the more excited she became, as if she really thought this method was feasible.
However, Theresa's idea was interrupted by a flick to her forehead from Shun. Compared to a Divine Key, he still preferred to maintain a good relationship with Durandal.
After all, the later-era Tianyuan was a rare combat asset. He didn't want to fall out with Durandal over a mere Divine Key.
But for some reason, when Shun thought this way, the vines from the Abyss Flower that were tightly wrapped around his arm tightened even more, as if it was angry.
Why? He felt a strong sense of attachment and reluctance coming from the Abyss Flower…
"Let's wait for news from Durandal's side first… If Otto doesn't agree, I'll go negotiate conditions with him."
Shun felt the will transmitted from the Abyss Flower and suddenly felt reluctant. It felt as if he had been bewitched.
Even the usually extremely cautious Shun was thinking of directly laying his cards on the table with Otto and negotiating terms. He really didn't know what connection this Abyss Flower had with him.
At the same time, in the corridor outside, although Theresa's voice when she spoke wasn't loud, Durandal naturally heard everything clearly. But she had no intention of intervening and directly dialed Otto's communication channel.
"Bishop, it's me, Durandal…" Durandal relayed the situation with the Abyss Flower to Otto without omitting a single word.
She didn't know how Theresa-senpai and the others had arranged things. In any case, Durandal could no longer hear any sounds now. Whether to stay or leave, the decision was entirely in someone else's hands.
After listening to Durandal's report, Otto was silent for a moment before saying: "Since the Abyss Flower likes my old friend, then give it to him. Hehe."
To this day, Otto still remembered that afternoon five hundred years ago—the day when the church door was kicked open by a man carrying a lance.
Otto's answer was beyond Durandal's expectations. She had originally thought Otto would not let go at all.
"Is that so? I understand." There was no point in saying more. Durandal quickly hung up the phone and wanted to convey this news to the two of them.
"How did it go?" The moment Durandal returned to their sight, Shun subconsciously asked.
"Uh, the Bishop… he agreed. Although the reason was very strange. Shun, did you know the Bishop before?"
Although she didn't know why Durandal was asking this, Shun guessed it was probably similar to the situations with Gray Serpent, Elysia, and Misteln.
"Anyway, ever since I came to this world, I really haven't met him." Mm, after crossing over, he had not seen Otto.
However, although he didn't know what medicine Otto was selling in his gourd, Shun still breathed a sigh of relief. Along with his relief, the Abyss Flower on his hand also conveyed a happy emotion.
Next, under the surprised gazes of the three, the Abyss Flower began to transform into a liquid-like existence and covered Shun's right hand, eventually wrapping around the entire newly grown right arm.
In this way, the Abyss Flower became a black-and-white arm guard on Shun's right arm, fitting tightly against him. It even swallowed the small knife that Shun had originally kept in his bosom, which he had named "White Flower."
Shun extended his right hand, looked at the Abyss Flower in its arm-guard form, and clenched his fist. He felt this was truly a massive upgrade.
"Watch my Blue Silver Entanglement!" Shun's playful heart surged. He stretched out his hand and shouted the strongest soul skill of a certain little brat. In an instant, countless thick vines as thick as a person's arm grew from the surrounding environment and wrapped toward Durandal.
Durandal cooperatively did not dodge. She allowed the vines to entangle her, then exerted force to try to break free. Mm, she broke free in one go.
"This binding strength could trap Emperor-class Honkai beasts. If I were entangled like this while fighting you, it would be quite troublesome."
Durandal seriously gave her evaluation and gave a somewhat strange look at the Abyss Flower on Shun's hand.
Why was the effect much weaker when she held it? And in various aspects… she didn't know why, but she felt a little sour.
In addition to White Flower's power of creation, there was also the "power of creating death" from the Abyss. However, it wasn't convenient to demonstrate that directly.
Theresa curiously examined the current form of the Abyss Flower. To be honest, she had never seen the Abyss Flower like this before. She turned her head to look at Judah.
Her meaning couldn't have been more obvious, but Judah firmly shook its head, indicating that it was not such a casual Divine Key, causing Theresa to abandon the idea.
"By the way, do you two have anything else to do next? If not, can you tell me how the Third Honkai Impact was resolved?"
Durandal felt quite depressed. As Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, she had not been able to play a role at such a critical moment and could only listen to others' accounts even now.
