Monarch of Darkness

Evan looked into the memory of masked man and soon discovered many shocking facts. Many information flooded his conciousness. He felt a throbbing pain in his mind. Despite the pain, he continued to search through the memories of masked man to clear his doubt.

Previously he was always interested to know the truth about the incident related to his father and mother of this life. He always wondered what happened back then, why his mother and aunt had to hide in Sylvia clan. Who were the culprits behind the scene.

Evan saw a scene in the memory of masked enemy. In the midst of a lush green mountain there was a middle sized gate. 'Beast God mountain' was written there in bold caligraphy. The masked man was with another man and they were riding two fierce looking horned beasts. They entered through the entrance of Beast God mountain and although guards were there, no one stopped them while they were entering.

Soon, they saw a old man whose head was full of white hair. These two quickly bowed toward him. The old man smiled and said, "Rolf, you guys were back in time. There was a new mission. I wonder if you two were interested. But you have to hide your identity in this mission." Evan tried to see more but he was already gasping from the use of memory searching spell. He stopped and only read through their memories. Although Evan could see the exact memory but it was consuming his soul power rapidly. So, Evan gave up and only read through their memories. It was less power consuming and Evan quickly found out many details.

There were three old men of Core Condensation realm who had come to the forest. Evan found out some Noble families of Thousand sword kingdom may be behind these attacks but even the masked disciples were not sure about it. Despite the pain, Evan continued. Soon, he found out information about his father. While traveling outside, his father-the king of Thousand swords kingdom was sneak attacked and after that assassins came for those loyal to royal family.

Someone even attacked his mother while she was pregnant. Evan's heart burned with anger after he found out about it. He then learned about the contribution of Sylvia clan to royal family and that they had sacrificed some of their warriors to protect his mother and aunt.

Evan knew his royal devil soul was fused with the soul of dying child of his mother and so he always felt a belongingness to his current family. As a Child he never got parental care in his past life. Although his uncles took good care of him but as a child he always longed for his parents.

"There are many enemies to us devils but I will first take care of traitors to our royal family in this life. Anyone who dare to harm my family, I will make sure to wipe out their existences from the face of heaven", Evan vowed in his mind.

After being freed from Chase of magical beasts, Sylvia clan members were still there. Evan ordered Bigblue, "Kill these masked men. Chase away Sylvia clan warriors and follow them. We will follow them to where enemies are surrounding my aunt."

Bigblue howled and some Ironback blue wolfs moved toward Sylvia clan warriors. Seeing the bloodthirsty wolfs moving toward them threteningly, Sylvia clan members ran away. Some wolves followed after the Sylvia clan warriors from a distance. By the time Sylvia clan warriors disappeared from his eyes, the wolves had already finished with the two masked men. Red blood was dripping from their sharp fangs. Although Evan was still a seven year old child, he was a devil. He had a human body but in his heart, he was a devil and no devil feared blood. Devils believed in power and blood was a sacrifice to devil ancestor.

Evan again ride on top of Bigblue and started going after the Sylvia clan warriors. After two hours of chasing in the dark forest, Evan finally heard sound of fighting. Metallic sounds were reverberating in the surrounding. Battle was too chaotic. Multicolored lights were litting up time to time, painting a beautiful scenery in the dark forest.

Evan ordered, "Big blue, tell your subordinates to stay behind and don't cause any noise. I will go with you to observe the Battle situation. For now, surround this area, we will attack when I give the signal."

A wolf howl sounded out but it went unnoticed by enemies due to choatic war. Some nearby powerful magical beasts sensed it and they also roared but no other sound came from wolfs in reply. Evan got down from the back of Bigblue and they sneaked close to the Battle field and hid behind a gigantic trunk of a old tree. Some Sylvia clan warriors were surrounded by masked enemies. Other Sylvia clan warriors were surrounded by many different types of hoards of magical beasts. Sylvia clan warriors were fighting fiercely. They were battling in small groups. Although each warriors looked pale but they were protecting each other. And in every wave of their attack, they were drawing blood.

Evan used his soul and spread his soul conciousness out. He found out enemies were targeting only peak stage Meridian opening warriors and those who were in Profound transformation realm.

"Enemies have clearly planned this before and prepared themselves to face Sylvia clan warriors. It looks like they want to reduce the overall strength of Sylvia clan." Evan thought inside his mind.

He tried to search his aunt Brianna and found her in South of the battlefield. He also saw Sylvia clan chief Lucas fighting with two masked men who had white hair on their head. Evan noticed his aunt Brianna and clan chief Lucas hovering in the air. Evan felt surprise in his heart. I knew aunt was strong but didn't expect her to be in "Core condensation realm".

"Before core condensation no one can proclaim him or her as a true Martial warrior", Evan recalled a line from his past life.
