Chapter 181 - Lil Bit** (1/2)
Sebes sensed some negative energy in the other side of the garden and asked some of the neighbors accompanied by Alisa to go there. And as expected something had already happened.
The master and mistress were already down on the ground, and the flower was glowing brighter than before.
One of the neighbours was going near to touch the flower and pluck it out of there when Alisa noticed the message of their message on the ground.
”Beware of flower, demonic.”
A short one-lined message was more than enough to save the lives of everyone present there.
Sebes dragged out the body of his master and mistress carefully and handed them over to the neighbors and Alisa. They tried different methods to wake them up and bring back their senses, but none of their methods worked on them.
While everyone was busy trying to cure the couple, Alisa found a book in the basement which described various plants and flowers. Since it was a book of the past generation the current owner had stored it in a basement as a family treasure.
After turning out some pages Alisa found about the demonic white flower and the harms caused by it.
In the book, it was clearly mentioned that once touched by a living being its life energy will be sucked in by the flower. Since the giants have higher life essence than normal humans, the flower was able to absorb half of it. But if it were a normal human, he or she would have been dead by then.
Alisa took the book to the upper floors and showed it to the doctors and the other peoples present there.
One more thing mentioned in the book was about destroying the flower and its effects on the victim's life.
Once the flower has been destroyed by magic, the victims who have survived its attack and are still suffering will die without knowing. The reason was still unknown but the result was something they do want to avoid at all costs.
So to save their rest of the remaining life Sebes with the help of his magic shifted the flower to the basement, and has been taking care of it since then.
Aryan sighed out and rubbed his forehead in pain.
He didn't even know what to tell and where to start. After keeping silent for some minutes he started talking. The first thing he asked them, ”Can you please show this demonic flower to me?”
Alisa was hesitant about it, since he was an outsider who got caught in the accident by her master's mistakes. And involving him with her matter….. Felt a little awkward to her. She didn't want to drag Sen in her problems.
Seeing she was still quite about it Aryan turned towards Sebes and asked again to show him the demonic flower.
Sebes sighed and agreed to show him the flower, on the condition he will not touch, nor insist to go near the flower after reaching there.
Aryan agreed upon his condition and asked him to lead the way. But before that Aryan made another request that had been troubling him for a while.
”Ah, Sebes, can you please carry me down from here? It's too high for me to climb down on my own.”
Sebes laughed and carried him down from the top of the wardrobe.
Aryan took a seat on Sebes's shoulder and asked again to take him to the basement. Seeing both of them were heading there Ricky and Alisa too joined them and took Aryan to the basement.
The basement was cold as a wintery day and dark as night. No spider web nor any dirt were there, due to regular cleaning by Alisa there.
Upon reaching the basement, Sebes stopped and stood before a wall. Aryan frowned and asked, ”What happened? Why did you stop?!”
Sebes didn't reply anything and instead took a pocket-sized watch out of nowhere. Aryan was literally dumbstruck by this action of Sebes and wanted to ask how did he do that?
But before he did Ricky went near him and whispered pocket dimension magic.
”Oh~~!!”
Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock!!
A sound began to reverberate in the room. Aryan searched for the source for the sound and as expected it was the clock in Sebes's hand.
Dong!!!
An ear splitting sound came from the wall and it began to split apart.
Behind the wall was a small room, filled with a variety of talisman, and in the middle was a small pot with a pretty white flower on it.
Like the other peoples Aryan too got charmed by the flower and got an urge to go near and take a look at a close distance. But to his fortune Sebes's voice dragged him back to the reality and he became aware of his surroundings.
”Huh, what happened?!! Why am I feeling hot in my ear lobes?”
