Chapter 6 - (The book of the Necromancer)

They immediately headed towards the place where Nanny Liu resides,entered the room and greeted her. Nanny Liu's facial expression revealed her joy, as if years of longing had vanished with the Princess's return.The Princess teasingly said, 'Nana, just a few days apart and you're already missing me ?

"Your Highness, I constantly worry about you. Knowing your behaviour, I fear others may misunderstand you."

"You no longer need to worry, Nana. My years of preparation ensure I won't be intimidated by frivolous individuals."

"From what I observe, your companions seem trustworthy. Thanks for taking such great care of her highness! I made you guys cloaks as a small token of appreciation."

Both of them gratefully accepted the gift. Shortly, a maid entered, announcing that the meal was ready and awaited Nanny's instructions to be served.Upon Nanny's approval, the maids swiftly brought in a variety of culinary delights.As they sat down, Zadin cast a spell, causing poisoned food to turn purple and emit a toxic odor, even without physical contact for approximately 60 minutes.The Princess was amazed by what she witnessed, observing Zadin's remarkable recollection of her personal life.The nanny then smiled and conveyed reassurance as she told him " calm down young man, In order to ensure that the food is safe I personally selected the cook for today. Your magical prowess, however, is remarkable for one so young."

"Thank you for the acknowledgment, but my primary responsibility is ensuring Her Highness's safety. Please excuse my abrupt actions."

With a gentle smile, she said, 'You're being cautious; that's fine.After eating , they headed to their rooms to rest. Zadin dived into reading the book of the necromancer, prepping for the upcoming fight in the endeavour square.He was astonished by the immense power promised by the Black Throne Seal attack, described in his book. Despite being dark magic, he was determined to master it, knowing its potency against the demons he despised.The Black Throne Seal's initial assault disables three of the enemy's five senses, paving the way for a lethal, swift follow- up strike accompanied by a faint crimson glow and the spectral Golden Spear of the Dead.Although incredibly potent, the Black Throne Seal's attack has adverse effects on its wielder. The initial strike consumes 10% of their mana, while the follow -up attack drains approximately 89% of their magical energy and strength.Given its extreme costs, the Black Throne Seal's attack should be reserved for situations where survival is unlikely, making sacrifice a viable option. While studying the ancient tome, Zadin discovered the sinister Evil Rim spell, granting it's caster the power to manipulate enemies into attacking themselves and petrify their allies for six minutes.Despite its ruthless nature, Zadin recognised the Evil Rim spell's potential strategic value in the upcoming Squad battle in the alliance.
