The servant tumbled and rolled back after that hit until it was stopped by the wall of the room. Mr. C did not give it the chance to recover as he ran towards it and gave it another blow. That one hit was followed by another and another until the possessed man could no longer move.

The body was already twisted and most of its bones were already broken. Through logic, it should have died but the butler saw the body twitch followed by a dark aura that exploded and pushed him back. His body sizzled after coming in contact with the dark aura.

Some of the nanites that was protecting him were destroyed because of ura explosion. The servant was now standing again with its head bowed down and its shoulders were drooping. The dark aura was surrounding him and it even stirred the air.

It then started to float and like a puppet with a string, the servant flung itself towards Mr. C. This time the attack of the servant was incorporated with its dark aura. The sizzling did not stop but the butler needed to defend and attack too.

The nanites in his body converged at his arms and formed a sword. He waved the sword and went to face the enemy head on. The sword managed to slice through the dark aura and give the servant a deep wound. The butler did not stop there and continued to move forward even though the aura was injuring him badly.

Once he was at an enough distance the sword on his hand changed into a spear. He changed how he held the weapon then threw it without hesitation. The spear pierced through the servant\'s chest instantly killing him. The aura that was scattered around disappeared.

Mr. C made a pulling motion with his hand and the spear returned to him. The spear returned to its nanite form and went back to the butler\'s body. He looked at the body and stepped forward to check if he was really dead.

He bent down to take a look at the body. The servant\'s body was already decaying when he moved it. It fell down on the bloody floor and the butler could see that his skin turned dark and there were patches of flesh that could be seen from different parts of his body. Mr. C shook his head before he stood up to give a report to the master.

"He is dead," he made his voice louder to let the master hear it from where he was sitting.

"Now, let\'s wait for that spirit to come out," Cygnus mumbled. He leaned forward and narrowed his eyes towards the door of the room where the fight happened.

He did not need to wait for long though because a wisp of black smoke came out from the servant\'s body. At first, it only floated from side to side like it was still in a daze. Mr. C intended to trap it using a device that had been stored in their arsenal created with light magic.

As if sensing that it was in danger, the evil spirit dashed out of the room and it\'s gaze locked on Cygnus who looked vulnerable. The spirit made an effort to enter the man\'s body which was the biggest mistake it made. It wanted to possess the body but before it could do it, an ominous presence appeared and devoured it.

"Ugh, he couldn\'t really wait," the master sighed as he leaned again on the bed.

"Master, what happened?" Mr. C got out of the room. He was now back to his normal appearance and was wiping his hands.

"The evil spirit is gone." Cygnus stood up with a dejected look on his face. "I was supposed to use that as a decoy one of these days, but it was devoured instantly."

They were about to leave the clinic when they ran into Galahad together with his knights. The duke took one look at them and at the mess behind them and he could already guess what happened. He motioned for the knights to enter and inspect the place.

Not only a minute passed by when one of the knights returned with a pale face. He was trembling as he pointed at the direction of the room where the bodies were piled up. Galahad frowned and walked forward only to be shocked by what he saw.

He had seen his fair share of death but this one was something he did not expect. He turned around and tightly shut his eyes as he tried to calm his nerves. The knights together with Cygnus and Mr. C gave the duke some quiet moments.

"What happened here?" His eyes were still shut,m but Cygnus knew that that question was directed at them.

"It\'s the work of an evil spirit that possessed the servant who came with me," Cygnus answered.

The knights couldn\'t help but murmur amongst themselves after that answer. Spirits were not a foreign topic within their territory since the place was full of it, even evil spirits were a normal occurrence. A simple evil spirit couldn\'t have done this.

"Where is it now?" Galahad opened his eyes and finally looked at Cygnus.

"We destroyed it. We used a relic to annihilate it," he answered once again. His voice and his eyes did not waver. "He must have been possessed when we went to that site. We were supposed to be visiting him but he was gone together with the staff in this place. Then we discovered that room." He pointed at where the bodies were.

"Why didn\'t you call for help?" The duke asked again.

"Because I know that we can defeat it. There\'s no need to call for your attention as you and my father are busy with other more important matters," Cygnus answered with a shrug.

He looked like he was innocent but Galahad had a feeling that he was not. He was not afraid or nervous even after seeing something like that in a room. Even his butler didn\'t flinch at the mention of that room.

The red spots on the end of his pants were also proof that he entered the room. That must have been the time that a battle happened. The butler must be the one who defeated the servant and the person who dealt with the evil spirit was Rigel.

"Go back to the manor for now, we will clean this up." Galahad sighed as he started to massage his forehead.

Cygnus and Mr. C left the clinic while the knights were tasked to clean up the mess. He took another look at those bodies and pitied them for encountering such a brutal evil spirit. The knights took the rest of the day and a whole night to remove all the bodies and mop the floor.

The room looked like new but the metallic smell of blood still lingers in the air. Even though the bodies were collected and fixed, it still felt like they were still there. They also managed to match the body parts and with Archmage Sigma\'s help they were able to piece them back together.

"To encounter an evil spirit who could do much damage, I don\'t know if that child is lucky or not." Sigma commented after treating piecing together the body parts.

"I think that he is not lucky, he must have known that that servant is possessed but he still brought him back." Galahad helped with putting all the bodies in individual bags.

They would send those bodies to their families and he needed to prepare a statement to justify their deaths. If he lied, the people\'s opinion about him would worsen but if he tells them the truth the people won\'t easily accept it. He let out a deep sigh at the dilemma he was about to face.
