Monarch of Darkness

Evan opened his eyes with difficulty. His whole body was aching. Sharp pain was coming from each part of his body. He looked at his surrounding. He found himself lying inside his room.

"Thank heavens Evan you wake up, otherwise I don't know what should I do!", Chester sighed in relief. Untill now, Evan didn't notice Chester who was also inside the room. Evan noticed the relived expression of Chester and he felt warm inside. 

"Evan, is it still hurting?", Chester asked. "It is still managable", Evan smiled slightly. He didn't want to see the worried look of Chester.

"Then, it is ok now", Chester had a relived expression in his face.

"These guys have gone too far this time. That was a ruthless strike. They are not taking into consideration that we are students of Imperial academy", Chester blurted out angrily.

"It is ok, Chester. I am alright now. Thanks for your help", Evan looked at Chester. He had already considered Chester as a true friend after today's episode.

"Nothing is ok. Look at yourself. You do not even know how much blood you have lost. What is bothering me that I have taken the help of medicine hall but noone came to investigate the incident. After giving treatment to you, medicine hall should have informed the elders about your condition", Chester frowned. "Something fishy is going on", Evan stated calmly.

"By the way Evan, do you know the identity of that beauty with whom you have collided?", Chester asked. Evan shook his head. He didn't know most of the students here and it was his first visit to capital of Northpeak empire. Generally, heirs of noble families interact with each other for future convenience. But, Evan was in the Sylvia clan all the time. So, he didn't have much idea about anyone.

"She is the little princess from Imperial family. Your luck is not bad. Although you get beaten for this but I am still envious of you", Chester said. 

Evan knew Chester was teasing him. "It is meaningless if I have to give my life for colliding with a girl", Evan shook his head. He was still a eight year old child so he could not understand the real meaning behind the words of Chester who was already a little adult.

Chester left after talking a little bit more with Evan. Evan maintained calm expression infront of Chester because he didn't want Chester to worry about him. The calm expression on his face vanished as soon as Chester left his room. His pure white eyes turned black and a dangerous gleam appeared on his face. He was seething with anger this time. The scene of that attack kept appearing in his mind and he felt his blood was boiling with rage. 

He was feeling enraged because he saw the facial expression of his attacker before he fainted. He saw disdain in the eyes of that attacker. It was like how a royalty looked at the commoners. He also saw a ruthless gleam flashing in the eyes of attacker from which he was sure that it was a pre-planned attack.

After sometime Evan tried to calm his mind and colour of his eyes changed to its original colour. He was feeling confused about why a mere guard wanted to attack him. Despite being in his side, Chester didn't know how fierce and ruthless that attack was. It was a full blown attack of a profound transformation realm warrior. Moreover that attacker was aiming at his lower belly region where the energy storage of a human being existed. 

The energy storage was vital for a magic warrior without it human beings can't store energy thus they could be considered as cripple if any major harm fell upon it. From that attack, Evan understood the motive of the attacker. He started assessing his injuries first.

Evan checked his body with his powerful soul conciousness. He saw deep injuries across his body parts. Some of his meridians had taken severe damages. He had also gotten some broken bones. But what surprised him the most was how a faint whitish glow was coming from his blood and his body was repairing itself in a visible speed. Evan again felt amazed by his ice phoenix bloodline. It was a great help to him each time he came across the danger.

'Knock, knock', Evan was just checking on his injuries when a knocking sound came from door. "Come in, door is open", Evan said in a low voice. A middle-aged man walked in. "Good evening", Evan greeted the middle aged man politely. The visitor this time was vice principal Lewis.

Evan didn't have any good feeling toward the officials of Northpeak empire. This vice principal was somehow good to him. So, he greeted him slightly when he saw him coming inside his room.

Lewis nodded and walked toward Evan. After reaching Evan, he put his hand on the chest of Evan. A soul conciousness rushed toward the body of Evan and Evan didn't resist it. He could feel that the devil codex was rejecting the soul conciousness. So, he voluntarily guided the soul conciousness of Lewis to his injuries. Evan could feel that the suppression of the devil codex vanished and he secretly sighed in relief. He didn't want to raise any suspicion from Lewis.

After some time Lewis took off his hand and his face was already grim. He took out a whitish pill and put it directly inside the mouth of Evan. Evan didn't resist and swalloed the pill. He couldn't feel any malicious intention from Lewis. So, he trusted him. Lewis left after saying him to take rest.

Evan felt a cooling sensation spreading across his body. His recovery speed doubled after taking the pill. "It most be a low level earth tier recovery pill", Evan thought inside his mind.

Evan didn't take rest. He had another plan in his mind. His anger still had not faded and he must do something to calm his anger.

Evan spread his soul conciousness outside. He observed the living complex of grade one students. He didn't find his target inside the area. So, he shifted his attention toward the canteen. There,he found his target.

He saw the attacker was happily chatting with another group of guards. They were standing behind one of the table in the sitting area of canteen. He focused his attention on the group of students who were occupying the table.

"Brother, do you think any problem will occure? He is also the prince of a kingdom." the beautiful princess looked at a young man sitting opposite to her.

Evan looked at the young man sitting opposite to her. As he expected, it was the fifth prince.

"Generally, I am letting him live peacefully for some time but that bastard has shit luck. He come across my man while colliding with you. How can any of my man let him go that easily", the fifth prince spoke smugly.

A dangerous gleam flashed in the eyes of Evan but he controlled himself for the time being. Today his target was the guard who was at profound transformation realm. He decided to take care of fifth prince later.

Evan didn't immediately take any action. He observed the surrounding and waited for the opportunity. After sometime the group of fifth prince and the princess finished their launch. The group of guards followed after the fifth prince to his personal room. Evan waited patiently. After sometime that guard bade farewell to everyone and walked outside the living complex of grade one students.

It was already night time. That guard was walking alone. Evan's eyes gleamed dangerously. He used the soul detection technique and sent a soul spear toward the soul of the guard. The lifeless body of the guard fell on the ground with a 'thud' sound.
