Monarch of Darkness

It was already afternoon when Evan woke up from deep sleep. He walked out of his room and saw the two Sylvia clan warriors who were waiting outside his room. "Your majesty prince", two Sylvia clan warriors bowed toward Evan. There was respect in their voice.

"How is uncle Aaron, has he wake up yet", Evan asked anxiously.

"No need to worry prince. Lord Aaron has already awakened since morning and it seems there is no problem regarding his health", one of the Sylvia clan warrior replied. Evan sighed in relief. Yesterday, it was very dangerous. Without the power of Evan's soul conciousness, all of them could have died. 

"Fortunately, I have smelled danger from Pietro and didn't sleep. If I would have slept early in yesterday night, then must probably all of us could have died. Fortunately, I was awake and told the Sylvia clan warriors to take rest in my room. But it was also luck that there were no core condensation realm warriors within the assassins, otherwise Sylvia clan warriors could not have stopped them", Evan thought inside his mind.

Evan also felt his heartbeat stopped for a moment, when the assassins attacked yesterday night. But due to the commotion, Thomas noticed the situation and arrived in time to face the assassins. Otherwise, a grim outcome could have happened. 

"Oh right, has Lord Thomas investigated about the unusual smell in uncle Aaron's room. Even I felt dizzy after entering his room yesterday", Evan looked at the Sylvia clan warriors.

"We don't know whether he has investigated this matter yet but Lord Thomas was very furious about the yesterday matter. He has not caught Pietro yet but he has called some powerful commanders from imperial army and has gone with Lord Aaron to Ironfang city, the capital of Blackridge kingdom", one of Sylvia clan warrior informed Evan.

"Anyone would be furious if they would have in a situation like Lord Thomas. Afterall, the Blackridge kingdom has planned to use Lord Thomas as a scapegoat. If anything was happened to prince, lord Thomas would have to take the blame. It is normal that he is furious.Trying to pull a golden armoured envoy in their dirty work, Blackridge king is surely brave after having their imperial uncle as the seventh elder", another Sylvia clan warrior added from the side.

"Seventh elder, Blackridge kingdom", Evan noted these names inside his mind. "I need to reach Profound transformation realm quickly. Otherwise I couldn't even use some basic spells",Evan pondered inside his mind.

"I am going inside my room. Call me immediately after uncle Aaron returns", Evan returned to his room.

He sat crosslegged and closed his eyes. He breathed in and out using the mysterious breathing technique of his Hendrickson family. This technique was called as Ancient elemental devouring technique. 

It was the same technique Evan was practicing since the starting of his cultivation. This technique focused on connecting the soul with the world and drawing the elements from world by means of breathing. It was a secret technique passed in Hendrickson family from generation to generation.

This time Evan was focusing on wind energy as he wanted to strengthen his side elements too. It was always benefitial for him to have control over more elements. He didn't want to expose his darkness energy in this life. So, he could hide his ability by showing control over various other elements.

Evan tried to feel the surrounding. He observed the surrounding with his soul conciousness and strands of different colours appeared inside his mind. He focused his attention on green looking strands and gradually green coloured energy started to flow into his body. Time passed by and strands of green colour started to thicken. As their thickness gradually increased, wind flow inside Evan's room grew choatic. Wind energy which was one of major heavenly element, came pouring into Evan's room from all direction. Such a commotion, even Sylvia clan warriors who were outside noticed. The surrounding air was sucking into Evan's room in a rapid pace. The Sylvia clan warriors stood their being stupified. "Prince is amazing", one of them commented. Other one also nodded his head in agreement.

Inside Evan's room, wind energy was creating whirlpool with Evan's body as centre. Anyone would be surprised if they could visit Evan's room at this time. The clothes used in bed were floating in air and even wooden chair was making creeking noises as it was being pushed by wind energy.

Finally wind flow died down and Evan opened his eyes. He channeled wind energy into his Meridians close to his legs. Then he started to run to his door. It took him less than a moment to reach to the door. "Success", a small smile appeared on his face.

The process of integrating wind energy into his body grew smooth for Evan as he had already crossed element sensing realm. He only had to draw huge strands of green coloured wind energy from his surrounding. It only took him 20 days after awakening ceremony to reach peak stage of element sensing realm in use of wind element. As his meridians are already opened, he could use wind energy through his meridians.

Evan walked out of his room and went outside of inn. He had not seen anything in the town except when he went outside for dinner with his uncle Aaron. So, he was quite curious towards the people of town. Moreover he had another goal. He wanted to learn what happened to the devils of Eternal Moon kingdom. Moreover, there were some powerful devils who established independent power outside the Eternal Moon kingdom. Evan wanted to know about them. He couldn't ask Sylvia clan warriors and his uncle Aaron. So, he could only listen from others.

Evan was just some distance away from entrance of inn. But he became stupefied after seeing the scene outside entrance. There were many warriors clad in shining armours standing at the entrance of inn. They had covered the both side of entrance. There were minimum two hundred of them.
