Monarch of Darkness

"Do you know any magical movement techniques? Evan asked Bigblue.

"No, I don't know any. I will ask my father if he has any. But why are you asking this? Magical techniques can only be practiced when we reach profound transformation realm", Bigblue replied through their soul connection. Although it was a magical beast but Bigblue was talented as one could see from it's cultivation. It had already guessed the cultivation of Evan in previous night through their soul link. It looked at Evan in a questioning gaze.

Evan looked at Bigblue and seeing it's puzzled look he chuckled. He patted the body of Bigblue and said, "You don't need to ask around. I am just testing you whether you would want to teach me a cultivation technique or not. I am very pleased that you want to help me out." Actually he just asked this question casually but Bigblue had taken his words seriously.

"You are doubting me. We magical beasts are not despicable like humans. When we make friends, we never doubt them. Humans only seek benefits, they even kill their own kins for benefit", this time Bigblue let out a loud howl after saying this to Evan and stopped looking at Evan.

Evan laughed seeing it's pissed appearance. He quickly reached out his hand and patted it's furry body, "I am just joking around. I can even give you techniques of true wolfgod if I have them. So, stop whining", Evan quickly added.

"You are a liar, how can a child give me a techniques of wolf God! Forget it, what are you planning?", Bigblue said. It though that Evan was comforting him but it didn't know that Evan was serious. They had records of some techniques used by wolfgod in their Hendrickson family. So, Evan could fetch them in future if somehow a warrior from Eternal moon kingdom placed them elsewhere during battle.

Evan said, "I am not planning anything. Just give me a open area. I want to cultivate for sometime."

"Let's go to my place. It is a very good place", Bigblue replied. Evan nodded and Bigblue guided him into his territory.

Evan saw a narrow path was made in the midst of towering trees. Evan let out his soul conciousness and scanned the area. He felt many strong auras of magical beasts from both side of woods. But none of them moved because they already grew familiar with Evan. 

Evan felt impressed by this place. Before this he never came into a beast lair. Now he knew, why it was so difficult to escape when someone entered into a beast lair. It was like a solid trap for warriors. They would be attacked from both side as long as they enter it.

Evan followed after Bigblue and soon reached end of narrow path. Their he saw a clear area made of stones. A big stone was laid in the central place and on top of it beast furs were placed. Evan laughed when he thought how a big wolf would laid down there pretending to be a wolf king.

"What are you laughing for? Are you thinking that my bed is not good enough. There are eagle feathers and bear skins on top of it. You can check it out", Bigblue growled. Evan chuckled but didn't say anything.

"You rest, I will practice on this rock", Evan replied and sit on a nearby good looking flat rock. 

He closed his eyes and started to channel darkness energy inside his body. He was using a breathing technique of his Hendrickson clan and could control the flow of darkness energy flowing into his body.

Bigblue could feel the surging darkness energy but it couldn't see through his body,which was being protected by mysterious demon codex.

Evan had already decided to trust Bigblue. So, he started to cultivate darkness energy without worry.

He had been sitting there for more than two hour. Darkness energy of nearby areas all gathered above Evan and surging into his body rapidly. Ancient devil Meridian operated fully and it sucked large amount of darkness energy into the body of Evan. Bigblue was sitting there with it's eyes wide open. Bigblue was surprised because it had never seen anyone sucking such amount of elemental energy from environment.

After sometime Evan opened his eyes. His eyes were gleaming with darkness. He thought, "Darkness energy is more denser in the forest, as expected. Now is the time for learning a magical movement technique. Without it, I will be in a disadvantage whenever I meet a agile opponent. Let's practice 'Shadow ghost dance' from my previous life.I have already practiced it's first stage there. I have to fit this body well for this technique."

Evan stood up and walked to nearby spacious place. He recalled the technique 'Shadow ghost dance' and channeled his darkness energy according to it. He started to run and his speed increased a lot instantly than before. Evan moved to his right, left and even backstepped.

Soon, Evan immersed in his practice. Bigblue's eyes were wide open. He was seeing something never seen before. Before it, it was thinking that techniques could only be practiced only after reaching Profound transformation realm. But now his previous knowledge shattered by Evan. Bigblue saw Evan and could observe that Evan was moving like if his body was possessed. His body could backstep six stepd instantly. From his movement, Bigblue was sure that Evan was practicing a high level magical cultivation technique.

After sometime Evan stopped his practice. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. He thought, "It was indeed easy due to my previous experience. I have practiced for ten days in my previous life before I could move like it.

My body's potential is much higher than my previous life. I have all fifty six Meridians opened now and an ancient devil Meridian. Before it I could only practice thirty minute before I runned out of energy but now I can continue for more than double time."

"What level is this magical technique? From where you get such a high level technique. It is looking like a high grade earth level technique to me", Bigblue's voice appeared in the mind of Evan but he didn't reply and smiled mysteriously.

"Do you think I will practice a lousy earth level technique?", Evan thought inside his mind.
