Chapter 181 - Lil Bit**

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?"

"Told you lil Sen, that flower is an alluring bit**. If you don't control yourself properly you will fall under its control."

"Uh, okay." Replied Aryan and closed his eyes to do some quick meditation.

He closed his eyes, mobilized all of his mental energy and began to chant a spell taught to him by his gramps.

Slowly, light began to engulf him and a cooling sensation spread throughout his body.

Since he was sitting on Sebes shoulder Sebes too felt the power of his mental energy and ripped some profits out of it.

His mind became more clear than usual, his body felt light all of a sudden and all of his fatigue and stress vanished all of a sudden.

Observing this scene Alisa and Ricky got worried about Sebes, as he was not opening his eyes, after calling him many times, nor was Sen responding to their calls.

Alisa was getting ready to throw Sen away from Sebes shoulder as he began to act weird after Sen emitted that light, but before he did Sebes opened his eyes and asked them not to do anything to the little human.

Both of them hid his command and waited for Aryan to open his eyes. After regulating his mental energy throughout his body and covering himself in a thin layer of protective layer Aryan opened his eyes and looked front towards the flower again.

This time he didn't get charm like the first time, and instead he suppressed the alluring charm of the flower. Even though Alisa and Ricky weren't charmed, they were still feeling the pressure from it.

But suddenly the pressure decreased and the both of them felt as if a huge pressure was unloaded out of them.

"Huh!! What happened just now?!" Ricky exclaimed. "Am I the only one who is feeling it or…."

Alisa intervened and said "No, not only you, even I can feel the same!!"

Both of them looked towards Aryan and asked him the reason, but Aryan himself was busy somewhere else.

Since the moment he opened his eyes he had been staring towards the flower constantly.

"What happened little Sen, you have been staring at it constantly for a while?" Sebes questioned.

But like the previous time, this time too his question was ignored. Both Alisa and Ricky were getting a feeling that Sen had found out something, and after something.

And after sometime they found out their hunch was true.

After observing the flower for some more minutes Sen replied, "I think I may be able to cure your master and mistress."

Alisa "…"

Ricky "…"

Sebes "…"

None of them could believe the word from Aryan's mouth. They heard it clear and loud, but even then they asked again,

"What did you say? Tell again please?"

"I said, I may be able to cure your master and mistress."

Upon confirming what he said and they heard it right, the three of them became emotional and started to cry again.

For them, their master was there everything, and when they became half-dead due that flower's curse they became quite frustrated about it, not only frustrated they underwent a severe mental breakdown due to it.

And the most affected person among them was Ricky. Even though he looked pretty cheerful on the outside, deep in his heart he was hiding all his pain and misery.

He was waiting for a trigger to take it all out at once. And this thing happened when he heard Aryan saying he can cure his parents.

Aryan right away wanted to start doing experiments on the cursed flower, but before he did Sebes took him back to the upper floor where his master and mistress were sleeping and asked to explain him somethings.

"Lil Sen, I was quite happy when you said, you can save the master and mistress from that evil curse of that demonic plant. But before you do care to tell what you're gonna do and how you're gonna cure them."

Aryan nodded and understood what they wanted to know.

For them, he was an outsider, whom they met some hours ago.
