Monarch of Darkness

Days passed by like the floating wind and today was the most anticipated event of Sylvia clan. It was the day of awakening ceremony.

The practice ground was bustling with Sylvia clan members who were here to accompany their children. Even many old men and old women had come because they wish to see the talent of their younger generation.

Evan was already there to attend the ceremony. Olivia was standing in his side. Even though Evan was only eight year old,he was looking like a 11-12 year youth due to his tall stature. May be in one to two year he would surpass his mother in height.

This year there were less children who were participating in awakening ceremony. Ceremony started swiftly. Old lady Adaline was conducting the ceremony like before. This year there were only seven who could sense heavenly elements in Sylvia clan. But what was more satisfying to them that,one of their Sylvia clan children had sensed thunder element and he had high affinity towards it.

There were valid reasons for the satisfied looks in Sylvia clan members. After all among the heavenly elements,thunder was considered the most tyrannical and thunder cultivators were very rare in entire thousand sword kingdom. So, anywhere a thunder cultivator with average affinity go,he would be accepted with open arm. His future is boundless. Now their Sylvia clan had such a boy who had high affinity for thunder.

Now it was time for Evan to go up. Everyone had anticipation in their eyes as they were looking at Evan. They wanted to know the result Evan would produce,who had all 12 signs a ideal heavenly warrior should posess.

The physical capability of Evan had already crossed the limit a human could acheive,and all the Sylvia clan members already knew about it. But everyone more interested in,how much talent Evan had,in element sensing.

Magical path was a endless journey,one could only go further than others only if he had more talent than others. Talent provides a better starting point in magical path. Although hardwork was the key but it couldn't acheive perfection without combination of talent in it.

Evan went up to the raised altar where the orb was placed in the middle of it. Old lady Adaline who was standing at the side of altar lightly smiled at Evan and said,  "Don't be nervous. Calm your mind while sensing the surrounding. Try to connect whatever you sense with your body."

Evan nodded and placed his both hands on the orb. He closed his eyes and tried to sense the elements. Gradually he could felt multicolored lights in his surrounding. Evan spread out his royal devil soul and he sensed multicolored lights in his surrounding. Some were black,some were white,some were purple while some were brilliant yellow in colour. Others could only feel them but Evan could even see clearly the elements around him with his formidable royal devil soul!

Evan sensed with all his concentration and soon found green element within the multicolored lights. It was actually the light,Evan wanted to have affinity with. Green coloured light represented wind element and one can fly easily with the help of it. 

Evan tried to guide the green coloured light to his body. But what happened next,he hadn't expected. Evan felt some of his blood having a reaction and he could feel that it was not his Hendrickson clan bloodline. Soon,instead of green light,a large amount of blue coloured light beams came to his body but Evan didn't feel satisfied. He again tried to guide green coloured beams into his body. He succeeded in his attempt in no time. His curiosity rose and he wanted to see whether he could guide remaining types of beams!

While Evan was playing around in his mind curiously, everyone was watching scene with their mouth wide open. A bright blue light first appeared on orb and it illuminated the entire altar area with a bluish hue. Soon,green coloured light appeared and it was less dazzling than before but it was still illuminating the globe lightly.

Soon purple colour appeared on orb followed by yellow. Everyone was already feeling numb by the shock this scene has brought. But it was not the end,Evan was still trying to guide a crimson coloured red beam to his body. Evan felt some trouble but he still tried to guide it and after some time a red colour appeared alongside other colour which had appeared earlier.

Evan also saw white light but he felt disgust just by looking at it. As a devil who had royal devil soul ,light energy was the most uncomfortable element for them. Although it could not do anything to him,but it was the polar opposite to darkness energy. Moreover,it was the main element of gods.

Evan finally opened his eyes. He looked at the orb infront of him and a smile appeared on his face. Then he looked at his surrounding and greatly puzzled by the dumbfounded looks of everyone. Even his mother and aunt looking at him with a dumbfounded look.

Old lady Adaline was first to calm her mind but deep waves of shock was assaulting his mind. "How is it possible,a five elemental affinity,what is this level of talent,too heaven defying",she thought inside his mind.

Woah!A clamour broke out soon after in the practice ground of Sylvia clan.

"Amazing,I never thought I could see legendary five elemental affinity infront of my eyes",one Sylvia clan youth shouted.

"Prince is too heaven defying,with such shocking talent he could acheive the level of his ancestor,sword Monarch' in his lifetime",a Sylvia clan warrior clad in shining armor exclaimed.

"What a kid",Lucas exclaimed who was standing at the side of Olivia and Brianna. 

"Everyone,l am issuing a decree evoking my power as the grand elder of Sylvia clan. Anything that happened with Evan will not be discussed from now on. It will not be discussed amongst us and will not be expressed before a outsider at any cost,it is a blood and soul oath of entire Sylvia clan. May heaven be the witness of us",old lady Adaline said in a imposing manner.

She made a hand seal and a symbol appeared in air. Eyes of Evan lit up. It was one of ancient symbols,he could recognize it because he had seen it in library in his past life but didn't know the meaning of it.

Wind blowed fiercely and a deep purple thunder appeared in sky. Every Sylvia clan members be it old person, middle aged person or children shuddered in their place. 

A imposing word,'Oath' appeared inside their mind.
