Monarch of Darkness

Months passed in the blink of an eye.Enemies did not attack again after their attack failed and Sylvia clan gradually regain it's previous peacefulness. Irrespective of gender every Sylvia clan child who had awakened their elemental affinity, practicing cultivation diligently and adults were venturing into forest for food supply.

Meanwhile,a barebodied youth was training in a quite surrounding near river bank. Sweat was pouring out from all over his body and he was shouting while breathing heavily,

700...

830....

850...

900...

1000... one handed dips completed with both hands. The youth smiled,feeling satisfied. He was Evan,who was training near river bank. In mere months,he had grown a little bit in height and from his eyes,one could see his determination. He had lost some babyfat from his face and he was looking more mature than before.

Evan looked at his surrounding. Ina distance a group of Sylvia clan warriors were standing,they were assigned to guard Evan and they were looking at training of Evan and some of them had reverence in their eyes. Evan was like a possessed boy to them while he was training his physical body. He never stopped untill his body stopped functioning itself.

"Uncle Jonas come here,I want to spar with you for a bit",Evan shouted.

A middle aged person walked out. He was clad in a typical shining armour of Sylvia clan.

He was Jonas,a  Profound transformation realm expert of Sylvia clan. He smiled and said,"Little prince,you can take rest first. We can spar after awhile."

Evan shook his head resolutely and said,"I don't need any rest now. Let's start quickly. I want to see whether I have improved my sword moves."

'Clang,clang',sound of clashing of two swords reverberated  in the atmosphere. The Sylvia clan warriors were looking at the scene with utmost attention. Evan was swinging the sword in a rhythm, sometime slow,sometime speed,sometime horizontal,sometime vertical.Only sword was in his mind. He was matching the every sword move of Jonas. 

Jonas felt startled. He thought,"What a monstrous comprehension ability, Little prince had only heard some words from Roland about the way of sword and he has started understanding it already. Not even some profound transformation realm experts can understand way of swords properly."

Evan sparred with Jonas for a hour. Gradually Evan found out although he could defend every sword move of Jonas equally,Jonas could also do the same. He remembered words of Roland,"Your sword should be fast. Between two swordsman of same strength,one whose sword is more fast,will win surely."

"Uncle Jonas, Let's stop here",Evan shouted and after relaxing himself in the river for a while,Evan returned home.

"An extra servings of grilled meat,please",Evan said and Olivia who was by his side,give him some more pieces. Evan quickly wolfed down the meat and finally all meat was finished from cooking pot.

"Mom,I am still hungry",Evan complained to Olivia. Olivia loving tousled his hair and said,

"Wait a little bit,I will arrange some food."

Recently Evan was eating meats like candy. He was devouring food of five adult alone. Everyone was feeling surprised except Evan.He knew to fully awaken the potential of his Hendrickson family bloodline,he needed a huge amount of magical beasts meat. Doing heavy training giving pressure to his body which in turn stirring his Hendrickson family bloodline. If he could somehow awaken his Hendrickson family bloodline,he could unlock bloodline abilities. Evan was looking forward to that day,when he could gain bloodline abilities.

A sweet aroma came from nearby kitchen and Evan felt his hunger doubling by the smell of it. He again started devouring the meat and after eating a lot,only he left feeling satisfied.

Brianna entered the palace of Olivia after sometime. Corpse of a fierce looking beast appeared on the dining table. She looked at a attendant of Olivia and said,"Process it for dinner".

After the fierce beast was taken,Brianna and Olivia started to chat.

"Sister Olivia,how can this little brat eat so much meat,these are meats of magical beasts which contained magical energy",Brianna expressed her doubt. No matter how she looked at it,she was finding it very abnormal.

"Bigsis,do you notice,our Evan is growing taller? I think there is nothing so confusing,my child is eating properly and growing in a first rate. Soon,he will be taller than me", Olivia said excitedly. She was very happy recently seeing the growing appetite of Evan. She could cook more for his son,in this way. Brianna shook his head,she could not reason with her naive little sister.

Evan channeled darkness energy into his body in night and regulate the flow of darkness energy by the breathing exercise of his Hendrickson family. Only after cultivating for three hour,did he go to bed. Evan left bed early bin morning and after eating breakfast quickly,he ran to his place for practice. Evan started his exercise and in a distance Sylvia clan warriors were guarding the place as usual.

After doing regular exercises,Evan started to lift boulders. Currently Evan was trying to lift a boulder which is almost 300 pound. His forehead is sweating profusely and he was trying to lift the boulder with all his might.

Little prince,it is amazing that you can lift 200 pound weight only with your physical body. But 300 pound is impossible,we can only lift it if we use our magical energy",a Meridian opening realm Sylvia clan warrior laughed. For them,Evan with a mere age of seven year could lift a 200 pound boulder is a miracle and now that Evan trying to lift a 300pound boulder,they were thinking it was impossible.

Extreme stress on his body,stirred his bloodline. Evan felt boundless strength coming from his body and he roared. Colour of his eyes started to change. The white from his eyes replaced with pitch black colour and Evan roared. 

A superior force came out from his hand and Evan lifted the 300pound boulder!
