A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 201: Survived

Flash!

Everything stopped.

It was as if a film was running inside his subconscious. His head hurt like someone was hammering it from outside. The veins popped out on his forehead due to extreme pain. 

Aaah!

Severus groaned in pain.

To his surprise, the corpse disappeared. Not even a speck of her was present. Finally, she passed out to her afterlife. Severus said a small prayer for her then used his sword as a support to stand up. No matter what, he needs to get up.

"I will kill that bitch for deceiving me out. I am amazed they both managed to trick both me and noworry at the same time. No matter what, I can't underestimate that snake presence. Even if it was a memory, I can still feel her goosebumps. Even Noworry said he felt an ominous presence inside the palace. What can I do to gain more power? I have run out of all the spells and all I have is this black sword and my pendent. I don't know if they will be enough to defeat that presence? What should be done?" Severus fretted on the issue.

Soon Severus reached the door. He thought he would be needing force to open the door like earlier, so he forcefully tried to open the door but to his surprise, the door was unlocked. If not for his fast reflexes, his face would have been smashed by it.

"oooof. That was a close call."

Slowly he got down the stairs. He was very cautious o the stairs since they were very steep and, in this condition, he could easily trip on them.

"It's another level of pain" he grumbles.

Shuffle-Shuffle.

Down the stairs, Rze was pacing all over the hall while Uze sat there motionlessly. For the first time, he was in good mood. 

Was it because Severus was going to die today?

Only he was the one who knows the answer to this question.

"Say Uze will Severus die?" Rze asked worriedly.

Uze scoffed. "What are you worried about? He is just a measly mortal who his majesty has taken little interest on. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Though I wonder why his majesty would send him to the fifth floor of this library?" 

"Same" Rze chirped in. 

"If his majesty wanted to execute him then there were several other cruel methods than sending him here but why on the 4 floors of this library? Something feels suspicious" Rze spoke.

Although Uze felt the same but he was too prideful to admit it. 

As usual, Rze was ignored, and he really didn't mind a bit. Instead, he was fretting over Severus. For the first time in his life, as far as he can remember he finally found someone who was good to him without any selfish desires. 

A pure friendship you can say.

He just didn't want Severus to die. Although he was utmost loyal to his majesty, but somewhere in his heart, he prayed for Severus. He continued with his pacing.

Shuffle-shuffle.

Rze heard the sound of footsteps so he immediately looked towards the stairs. 

Indeed, there was someone.

Rze immediately went up to Severus to give him support. "You okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Why do you look so pale?" Rze bombed him with several questions however Severus stared at him blankly.

Rze felt awkward as a complicated expression came over his face.

On the other hand, Uze was in shock. 

"Are you his ghost?" He muttered.

".."

Rze "."

"The hell you are talking about Uze? He isn't a ghost but a living person. I can feel his temperature and his vitals are not very good. We need to give him first aid or he will die" Rze panicked.

".."

"Didn't we bring him here for his death?" Uze asked Rze.

''..."

Well, it was the truth.

Rze cleared his mouth. "It's true but his majesty said that he will die inside the 5 floors. Since he managed to survive or whatever. Currently, he isn't on the fifth floor, so he is his majesty guest. We can't let him die here or else his majesty will punish us." 

Everything Rze said made sense. 

Reluctantly Uze helped Rze and gave Severus first aid.

Severus fell into a deep sleep. Today's fight sure was exhausting. The mere thought of being confronted by Minya gave him an incoming headache. Although Severus didn't lose his consciousness but all the way, he pretends to pass away. 

It was better to just sleep instead of answering Rze. This man was good but was a monster when it comes about talking. Severus had never seen a bigger chatterbox than him.

Soon the night fell, and it was all dark. 

Inside the main palace.

Minya was pacing slowly inside the main hall. A never-seen excitement was present at his pace. Even his steps were a little hurried. One needed to observe him carefully to tell. However, to his dismay, there was someone who could tell the differences. 

Who else it could be if not the guardian spirit?

"I see someone is awfully flustered today. May I know the reason?" A sweet voice resounded.

Minya footsteps came to halt while his face covered with a chilling expression. It was the same expression that the guardian spirit came to familiar with.

"Now you are back to normal? What is happening?" She asked but Minya did not even glanced at her.

"What's it to you? You yourself failed at seducing him and now you want me to answer you? What a lame thought process" He mocked him.

It was sore point for her.

"You know better than me what type of man he is. His morals and principles are higher than even heavens. I cannot help but sight. Such a waste of beauty"

When Minya saw those sultry eyes, he felt disgusted.

"Excuses, Just excuses."

"I am not here to answer your stupid questions, you wench. If you are done, then go back to your room" Minya hollered.

Eh!

"Can you stop screaming?"

"If you feel your precious ears are feeling sore then leave this loud place."

....

Geez!

"You are no fun. Even that brat Severus is more interesting than you" She replied shyly.
