Monarch of Darkness

If it was anyone else of Evan's age,they would have felt surprise by the stringent oath old lady Adaline had taken,even his aunt Brianna and his mother looking at old lady Adaline with complicated gazes but Evan felt slight surprise in his heart,that was all. Afterall this was how devils had protected their secrets since time immeroial. But in his heart,the place for Sylvia clan went up.

Evan looked at his mother and aunt. They were looking at old lady Adaline in a bewildered gazes. Gradually eyes of Brianna and Olivia became wet,their heart felt complicated. Just for protecting Evan, Sylvia clan took a oath with heaven as witness. It was a favour they wouldn't forget in their entire life.

"Everyone disperse",Lucas ordered and soon there was no one remain except Olivia, Brianna,Evan,Lucas and old lady Adaline. Evan went near Olivia and stood beside Olivia. Olivia turned to side and cupped the face of Evan with her palm. Two drops of crystal clear teardrops poured out from her phoenix like eyes. Evan's heart shuddered.

"Mom,what happened to you,why are you crying",Evan asked worriedly. 

"Olivia started giggling. Silly child,who is crying,I am just happy", seeing her laughing while tears apearing in same time Evan didn't know what to say. But he felt relived.

"Evan,try not to show your all elements infront of anyone. It may put you in danger", Adaline reminded Evan. 

Evan asked curiously,"Grandma,is there no one in our empire with five elemental affinity?"Evan was really feeling curious after watching the expression of Sylvia clan members and their solemn oath.

"It is very rare,I have only heard about five elemental affinity talent but I have never seen in my eyes",old lady Adaline said seriously.

"How strange,I have read that some of those hateful gods who had awakened their ancestoral blood since their birth possessed five elemental affinity.It seems like their claws have yet to reach this planet",Evan muttered inside his heart. But he forgot that he was comparing himself with mere mortals. Even gods with pentaelemental affinity didn't dare to compare themselves in terms of talent with devils with royal devil soul.

Evan nodded his head and said,"I will not expose myself. He had already know how powerful enemy fighters come to his palace just because they were afraid of his talent. They didn't want to let a child with royal devil soul live. Only with sacrifice of many powerful devils,he could escape with his soul. Thinking about this matter, Evan's expression grew heavy but he controlled himself.

"Child,what is wrong?", although Evan could hide his expression from everyone but Olivia was the exception,he saw the slight fluctuation in Evan's mood. Evan laughed and changed the topic saying he was hungry.

Finally everyone returned to their place. Evan came with his mother to her palace. Brianna followed them.

Currently they were sitting on the dining table in Olivia's palace. "Brat,have you choose which element you will choose as your primary element to start your magical cultivation?",Brianna asked to Evan. 

"I have not decided yet",Evan replied. Actually he knew his primary element was darkness energy and no matter what it couldn't be changed because it was the primary element of devils.

Powerful gods had light element as their primary element and similarly powerful devils cultivate darkness energy as their primary element. They didn't have to give effort to cultivate them,heaven had made them that way. One with light energy and another with darkness energy.

"You have awakened advanced level affinity towards water element,high level affinity towards wind,earth and thunder element and average level affinity towards fire element,I think you should cultivate water element and anotther element except fire",Brianna advised.

"I will think properly when I return to my room",Evan replied.

His gaze turned to Olivia. He knew he was a devil yet him cultivating other elements leaving aside darkness element could only be possible for her mother. Although he knew it was impossible without the ancient bloodline of his father forwhich this body of his could born which could contain ancient bloodline of humans,a royal devil soul and a ice phoenix bloodline.

"I wonder when I could remove the seals from my mother. A pure blooded ice phoenix like her had to live as a commoner and need protection from others,I never like it. But it may be good because she don't have to fight like this",Evan sighed.

After finishing the meal Evan returned to his room. "I will see how longer these elements will take to gather in my body. With the help of my real cultivation which is at Meridian opening realm,I think it will not take much time",Evan muttered inside his mind.

Today's gathering and cheer and exclamation of everyone somehow reminded of his Hendrickson family. "How nice it would be if uncles and grandfather was here",Evan said absent-mindedly. But soon he realized it was only a fantasy. He felt rage feeling his mind and a pitch dark colour appeared briefly in his eyes."I will destroy every single power,who took place in that war",Evan muttered inside his heart. 

Soon,Evan calmed down himself. "What happened actually that day? Despite our formidable power how could God clans destroy our kingdom? I know they allied themselves with human powers but it was not enough. Our one devil warrior could fight with ten humans of same strength single handedly. Despite this,how we lose",Evan asked these questions inside his mind.

These questions were always bothering him. If it was another devil of his Hendrickson clan,he may think that our strength was not enough but who is Evan? He had such natural talent with royal devil soul in his possession. Moreover,he loved to read the books most. Evan could see that some other variables had lead to their lose. Evan pondered hard about it.

But he didn't know how much impact this question would have over entire history. His curiosity towards warfare and his rage towards gods and humans will cause blood to flow like river in future. The fortune teller wizened old man of Grand Rox empire was right,

'Child of calamity had come to their land'.
