A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 214: War-1

And thus, a fight broke.

Knocking her several times, Desella locked moon in a tight grip. "Not giving up?"

"Like hell, I will"

She smirked and twisted her fingers. "As you wish."

Aaaah!

A loud scream hollered inside the room.

Minya was startled when he heard her screams but was attacked swiftly by Severus at that moment.

"You" He gritted his teeth.

"Don't take me lightly. It's an insult to me" Severus pointed his sword at his neck which was just a centimeter away from his neck.

"I play fair. '' He put his sword down after saying it.

Aah!

Desella groaned.

"You insolent woman. How dare you come here and foil my plan." Moon was red from rage. Now when her secret was revealed, all she could do was grit her teeth and kill Severus in real life. Severus too was having a hard time dealing with Minya and other knights who were coming at him.  Not giving him any opening to attack, made Severus pissed.

"Noworry"

[Yeah?]

"Come here, I want to pull that stunt."

[]

[Why?]

"Cos that's the only option I have."

Noworry was reluctant but he still came back and perched on Severus' shoulder. Backing away a few steps, Severus pinched his sword with his own blood. The sword immediately reacted to it, and black mist started emerging from it. Severus' hair turned white. His movements became swift as flowing water. In a flash, he slashed them all. Before anyone could react, his sword was stained with the crimson blood of knights.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

One by one, the bodies collapsed on the floor. Minya finally lost it as he blamed him. With shaking fingers, he pointed out. "You killed them? Didn't you?"

Why?

"You weren't supposed to, then why?" He asked in horror. He was well aware of Severus' personality. He was a man with principles who would never even lay a finger on innocent people.

Severus smirked.

"They all are alive. If you don't believe me, try sensing their life force. Earlier you were able to manipulate their blood because of the blood curse you inflicted on them. Using it, not only were you able to control their emotions but also their nervous system. Using blood as a stimulus, you made them a living corpse, and thus they were forced to obey your every command."

"Even the so-called loyalty they swore is just because you made them think like that. It was you who played with their mind. Later you became skilled at this game and manipulated their moves easily but not anymore. I slashed all the stimulus points from their bodies. Since you fed them your blood, you can still sense whether they are still breathing or not, apart from it, you can't do anything."

Severus mocked openly. With one hand supporting his waist while the other resting on his sword, he gave a domineering aura. "How does it feel to lose at your own game, Minya?"

Minya didn't pay heed to what Severus said. Closing his eyes, he focused his mind on the stimulus point inside his body. There he faintly discovered the life force of his 12 knights and tried manipulating it, but nothing came into effect. No matter how hard he focused, not even a single one of them moved.

Faak!

He cursed.

"How? How did you know I fed them my blood?" He asked in bafflement to which Severus grinned.

"Are you dumb or having a short-term memory loss? Did you forget? I asked you to allow me to visit the library and you gave me permission. I bet you thought I just went there to slack or find information about Moon. You also knew I was doubtful about you thus, you did it, so I accept you as an ally. There was also a second point to it. By giving me access to the library, you wanted your sister's corpse to kill me then and there so you can be free from hassle, however, things didn't go as you planned."

"Not only your sister's corpse was destroyed by me but your plan of sacrificing me as well as killing moon altogether failed miserably. When I was inside the library, I read all the books related to curses and history. It was then I stumbled upon an old book which was in a very tattered condition. I was going to put it back when something struck me. The text on the cover page was written in Nessyes language. A language which is supposed to be dead."

"This piqued my curiosity and made me flip the pages. However, the content inside was all written in Zhnye language so I was able to read it. I need to commend the person who wrote it. It was so detailed that it took me only three hours to finish it.  Everything was made so easy that I picked it up quite well."

Minya expressions were hilarious. He looked as if someone robbed him of his treasure. Of course, Severus was bluffing. How could he learn everything in such a small time? Neither he stumbled on such a book, nor he ever read it. It was just that in his sister Zia's memory, he saw Minya's father telling Minya about the secret book of their family. It was an heirloom of their family and was handed to the head of the family.

Most probably whenever this conversation took place, Zia, his sister might be snooping on his elder brother. In his mind, he thanked her several times when he saw how pale Minya appeared.

"What? Depressed or shocked? Aren't you curious to know how I managed to get my hand on your family's heirloom?"

Minya nodded his head in approval.

Ha!

"I won't tell you."

""

He nearly coughed blood. The fact that Severus snatched his loyal dogs coupled with the theft of his family's heirloom made him mad. Not thinking straight, he charged at him with his full intent. Now when his rage was increased, so was the power of the serpent.

"Kill them all" He roared.

His serpent hisses loudly, to show that he understood the task. Slithering his cold body, he crawled towards Severus to bite him but Severus backflipped in midair dodging his attack. Landing straight on his head. Now since he was on top of his head, the serpent tongue failed to reach there. He started shakings his body, but Severus had a firm grip while was also supported by Noworry. The bird clasped his claws on Severus' shirt to stop him from falling. Apparently, this was the safest position in the entire room. The snake was giant, even Moon and Desella had to temporarily stop fighting because of him.

'Desella, help the knights and rescue them to a safer place '' Severus ordered.

"But." she was still salty about them raising their swords on him. Severus knew what was on her mind but right now, things were different.

"Do it as I say. You believe me. Don't you?"

Now

When he put it that way, Desella was forced to abandon her hatred and save them all. Without any further ado, she helped them. As for Moon, she used her powers as a shield to protect herself from the incoming rage of Minya. He had finally lost it now, giving in to the darkness. Even his iris now turned into pitch black, developing slits. They appeared the same as serpent's eyes.

Something was not correct.

When she observed him at a close range, she noticed he had developed flakes on his body. They were barely noticeable but were increasing at a fast pace. At this rate, if it continues, his entire skin might turn into flaky skin.
