A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

"you just don't speak truth every time"

---------------

[Damn tell me how it was a trap?[

Severus"...."

I think this damn bird is really nuts.

"Do you forget that I am a cursed being?"

[Neeh…. How can I forget this? After all, you are not the only one who is implicated in this curse. If anything is going to happen to you, I will be also be implicated to a greater extent]

"So, you weren't worried about me all this time. You just cared about yourself. Damn!" I was a fool to think that this arrogant bird will have some emotions for me.

Severus sighed helplessly.

"Good, since you remember that I am cursed then do you also remember that curses can't be healed by yourself?"

[I do]

"So how was I healed? Why did I only faint and didn't have a major breakdown as everyone else had? To be specific, why was the monk the only one who came to our rescue? How did he come there? Don't tell me this is all coincidence?"

[Damn! He told me that he was just passing by when he saw you and me unconscious in a nearby alley. With regards to your health, I thought you were healed because your body has a special constitution.]

Special constitution. Hey! I am still a mortal

"You really are a dumb bird. How could you believe anyone?"

[Sorry]contemporary romance

"Never mind, I am not sure about anything. Although I don't comment whether he is a foe or not, he isn't a friend. Why are all the things that are revolving around me are connected to him? It's like he is leading us somewhere? "

[Like he wants us to solve a mystery?]

"Yes. Leading us with our noses. If my hypothesis is correct, then he was aware about us. He knew that we were going to the chamber of the secret that day and the most dangerous thing is his mind"

[Mind. How?]

"I can't comment about physical strength, but he is very clever. He has resources to. A collection of so many rare herbs prove that he isn't an ordinary person. The only thing that I am not getting is, his motive"

[Motive. Isn't it common? He knew about your powers and probably want to use your powers]

"Neeh…... it's not about powers. If he was after my powers, he wouldn't have given me those books. As far as I can understand he wants me to level up "

[Level up. Why?]

"Don't know. "

[okay...…. Severus if you don't mind telling me then please tell what the trap was?"]

Severus"...."

"Sigh…...he was aware that I was cursed and probably he also knew that my life will be in danger after I get struck by that curse, therefore he prepared that medicinal soup for me."

[Why? If this was the case, then why did he add the poison? If he truly wanted to save you then he wouldn't have added poison in it.]

"Ha-ha.... he just wanted to check whether I was daring enough to drink a bowl of poison despite knowing that it was a poison"

[It doesn't make sense]

"It perfectly makes sense. He knew that I had powers, but he wanted to see with his own eyes. Despite having powers, one should be courageous enough to use them. The powers are useless if one doesn't make efforts to use them."

[I still don't think he is powerful. He is just a clever old bastard nothing else. I will kill him if I see him ]

Severus"..."

"Not powerful. Huh. Sure. Continue to live in your delusion. He just cured me of the curse that even you were not able to resist."

Severus grumbled but didn't say it aloud.

[Yay...yay…. just an old bag of bones]

Noworry knew it was sarcasm but he didn't have any rebuttal.

"Severus tell me. How did you get to know that it was a medicinal soup? I know you knew about Icetra but how can you be aware that it was a medicinal soup?]

"I didn't know. I didn't even know that the bowl contained Icetra earlier, however after my silver bracelet turned black when it came in contact with the vapors of soup. I understood it."

[Huh]

"When I was going to drink that soup accidentally my bracelet came in contact with the hot vapors of soup and in an instant it turned black. After seeing the severity of that black color I knew that it was poison and that too, was itcetra. At that moment I understood everything and thus I took a chance.``

[Chance? What chance?]

"I made a bet on my survival. After knowing that it contained Icetra I smelled the soup and faintly smelled several other medicinal herbs. I knew that it was a test for me set up by that old monk. He knew that I would die if I didn't consume that bowl of medicines since I was struck by a deadly curse but if I did, it meant drinking poison. It was like stabbing a knife in my own gut. I knew it, it was a trap from the beginning. Even he himself wasn't sure. He just wanted to know if I was the correct choice or not. So, he came up with this plan"

[It's thrilling. Someone is after you. With so much trouble on our plate, we got another bowl of trouble too.]

"Let's see. It's not like we need to do anything. I will just do what I have to do and will find that old man. I will bring the truth out at any cost, even if I need to use brutal ways."

[What about the book? Why did he give you that book? What was it about?]

"He just gave me that book so I could survive. The first book was based on spells that work on ghost and defense style. Oh...it had very few spells of attacking the ghost too"

[Don't tell me that book's title is, Spells of death]
