Chapter 187: Guardian spirit

"Damn this is wrong" Moon sighted.

Severus' ears perked up. "What's wrong? He asked"

Hmmmmm

"The fact that you are good is wrong."

"…"

Am I supposed to be sorry for it?

Severus was perplexed.

What was wrong with her?

First, she forces herself on me, and then when she fails, she starts crying After all this, she is still blaming him.

"Hey care to explain what is going on?" Severus asked.

He still had no clue about anything.

However, Moon did not explain anything instead she asked him, "What is your purpose to come here? I do not think you just came here to get haunted by a cursed spirit. I am sure you would be aware of the ongoing rumors?" She spat grudgingly.

"…"

Severus somehow did not feel any threat from her. His heart said to believe in her, so he did and told everything honestly.

"I am here to investigate the cursed spirit as well as the spring temple of the heavenly pavilion."

Bam!

When the moon heard about it, she gasped. An expression of disbelief crossed her face, but Severus paid no heed to her. It was the same expression that Minya gave him.

Judging from both of their expressions Severus was sure there was more about it than folklore.

HAHAHAHAH!

After her disbelief, she started laughing maniacally.

Ha!

'You…

"You want it to investigate the spring temple of the heavenly pavilion. What a good joke" She commented however Severus' expression chilled the moment he heard. He instantly refuted.

"It's not a joke."

Moon went quiet after she heard Severus.

"Whatever"

She dismissed him.

Sure, she knew something about the temple but was hiding from him.

"I don't care why you came here but since you did, I will wait for the chance when you do something that you aren't supposed to. I will suck your blood the moment you do it. Somehow I can sense the sweet smell of your blood and it makes me salivate" She made a dramatic gesture of licking her lips.

"But why?" Severus felt it was so absurd.

"Why do you ask?"

"…. Coz that's what am I supposed to do" She self-mocked herself.

"...…"

"Why?" Severus asked again.

Earlier Moon did not have any intention to explain anything but how long it had been since she was last asked by anyone?

It has been so long since anyone asked herself.

She finally had someone who wanted to listen to her.

All the thoughts swirled in her mind, making her confused. Finally, in the end, she gave in to temptations and spilled everything.

"This is the only room where Minya's magic doesn't work and so it's also the only place where I can tell you anything about him," She said sadly.

Severus did not interrupt her.

"It had been nearly twenty years since I was locked in this body. I used to the guardian spirit of this kingdom. Those were the golden times. Everyone had enough food, clean water, and a roof over their head. Life was difficult but happiness was everywhere. I was happy by the way things were happening until one day."

Her voice started shaking when came to this part.

"The ex-king was a kind and generous king until one day when he changed drastically. He killed his own wife and performed a taboo ritual. I was shocked when I sensed something bad happening inside my kingdom. I tried to suppress it as soon as I could with all my powers but alas!!"

"I FAILED."

"I was hailed as the guardian spirit of this kingdom, but I failed."

"Her voice was laced with immense terror. I still remember that man. Although I did not see his face, the only thing I remember about him is his silver locks and a scar over his right eyebrow. He just glanced at me once but that single glance was enough to terrorize me."

"It was no joke."

"I am the divine spirit, blessed by the heavens. The power that I hold cannot be compared to any human. I am far more powerful than any magical beast still, he, only a mortal managed to terrorize me. The blood inside me solidified the instant he glared at me. I still start shivering when I remember him. He was standing next to the ex-king. He saw the complete process of gruesome murder committed by Ex-king. And I dare to commend that he did not even filch when he saw it. His expressions were calm and cold as if it were nothing more than seeing someone cutting vegetables."

Severus' heart sank when he listened to it.

He had a feeling that the story would involve gore and murder.

"Once the kind and the cheerful king turned cruel. His eyes turned black while his whole body was decorated with cracks. He looked like a demon in a human's disguise. Brutally he killed his wife and mummified her. After he was done, he slashed his chest and ripped his own heart. I was shocked to see how a human could exist after ripping his own heart. I could sense dark energy inside the room, but I was incapable. I did not know why but nothing worked against him. I tried with my whole strength, but I still failed. I could not even produce a single spell. I knew Ex-king didn't have such power to block my attacks so the only plausible answer to this mystery was the man with silver locks was blocking me."

"But the question was how?"

"He was a mortal so I was amazed that he could cast spells and that too at such a large extent to take me down without even raising his hand."

"That power was insane."

"When the man was done with ripping his heart, he gave his heart to him. The man with the scar was disgusted by it but didn't hesitate and swallowed the heart."

"….."

Severus wanted to throw out.

This was so sacking….

"Disaster happened that day. Little Minya, stumbled inside our room and managed to witness everything. At such a tender age he witnessed his father killing his mother and then ripping his own heart and then dying afterward. He saw how the other man swallowed his father's heart without any hesitation. The man smirked when he noticed the presence of Minya. I was terrified that he would do anything to little Minya, but the man did not hurt him. Instead, he asked him whether he wanted to become powerful. The little Minya was still terrified of him. His eyes were filled with tears but not even a drop sprinkled from them. He managed to not cry. This determination greatly impressed him, so he shared some tips with him and dissolved into thin air afterward. I wanted to stop him, but I was useless. Before he diapered, he looked in my eyes and something strange to me…" Moon answered.

Severus' curiosity piqued in. "What was it?"

Moon tried her hard to remember. She scratched her head. "Uhm…"

'He said something like, give my regards to him."

"…."

"Who could be this him?"

"I don't know" Moon shrugged.

"However, after he left, more destruction happened. Minya saw the cold bodies of his parents smudged with each other's blood. I knew he just followed what that man said to him and due to him, I suffered hell. That man blessed Minya with eminent power due to which he managed to suppress me. I tried my hardest to fight against him because I knew Minya was up to no good. Since we both were fighting a large-scale fight, destruction was bound to happen. I fought with all my might, still, I failed."

"Failed pathetically. Minya later sealed me inside a woman's body and told everyone that I, the guardian spirit went berserk. He told everyone that I was a threat and whatever happened, I was the one behind it. He made me the culprit behind his parent's murder as well as large-scale destruction. Since then, everyone started hating me. Not even a single soul believed in me. I was heartbroken but that woman's body failed to tarp me for a long time. Seeing that there was no other way, Minya sealed me again inside his little sister's body. Surprisingly she had a strong soul and that trapped me well. Since then, I am trapped inside her. Every night I am tortured so that Minya could extract my power. I know that he knows a short method to end me and take my powers, but that psychopath did not do it. Every night, he would bring me out from his sisters' body and trap me inside a woman's body and bring men to play with me."

At this moment, her voice started breaking.

Her face turned pale from the fright.

"This thing continued for 18 years until her little sister turned 18. After her 18 birthdays, there were no more women but only men."

She started sobbing after this…

Somehow Severus could predict what happened next.

Severus knew Minya was cruel but now he was aware that he was sick from his mind.

He literally asked several men to rape his sister.

Everyday!!

That was just so sickening….

Severus can not imagine the torture that Moon underwent.
