Monarch of Darkness

"I want you to check my mother's cultivation and try to see if there are any devil elixirs nearby. I wonder why she can not cultivate." Evan said to Cerberus.

Cerberus affirmed with a nod and spread his soul consciousness as much as he can. After sometime he was surprised by what he saw.

He said to Evan,

"Young prince, there is a special kind of seal on her body. But I can always check with our special soul techniques. Wait a minute."

Evan nodded while clenching his fist, he murmured, "Who the hell placed a seal in her body. Is she also being targeted by those damn gods?"

Sometime passed quickly. Cerberus was done with his soul technique by now. He spoke, "Someone has placed a bloodline seal on her. There is also some hidden injury to her. But she is a pure blooded ice phoenix. Prince, you have acquired a good body for you. Furthermore, If you can acquire her heart blood, you can...!!!!"

Before he could complete his sentence Evan interrupted him! He said gloomily,

"Uncle Cerberus, stop it. I never had a parent before and I consider her as my mother. I don't care what she will think, when she knows the truth. I have not occupied this body. My soul fused with this body's weakened soul. Ryan Hendrickson was my past life. In this life I am Evan and no matter what, I will protect her."

Instead of being annoyed, Cerberus nodded in satisfaction after seeing the behavior of Evan.

He said, "Prince you can't be too softhearted. Humans are the most treacherous among all and you should be careful to not reveal your identity."

Evan laughed, "Softhearted, how I can be Softhearted! I had only wished to spend my time in study while not to involve myself in your so called practice which required killing. But it seemed like fate didn't want it this way. Now this enmity will only be ended, when I completely eradicate them. Only their blood can quench my thirst."

Cerberus looked worried but did not say much. Afterall, he was now only a soul strand and need a good amount of rest to recover .

Cerberus coveyed a location of devil elixirs to Evan and Evan nodded. "Little prince,be careful of when you enter berserker stage, control your killing heart as much as you can, but you still need to see blood to unleash your true potential as a devil", Serberus warned Evan and entered a deep hibernation. Evan's eyes gleamed with darkness after listening to Serberus. He thought, "Devils indeed need blood to unleash their potential. I will see how  much problem I will face at that time", Evan thought inside his mind.

Devil elixirs were special kind of heaven and earth material and helpful in devil cultivation method.

Evan murmured, "Mom, how did you ended up in a human kingdom. What is your background?"

"My soul is a royal devil soul. I am wondering how can my soul be awakened so fast. Afterall human bodies are so fragile. Serberus had sent me a memory based on this matter before he went to rest and now everything connected well. Mother is a pure blooded ice phoenix, but I have heard in my past life that Ice phoenixs were almost gone from our world. Finding a pure blooded mythical beast is more hard than counting leaves of a large tree. Gods and devils can't have children with any godbeasts otherwise there will be some fearsome fighters would have born. But some humans with ancient bloodline is special. Those who had rare ancient bloodlines of primal humans only can have children with mythical beasts but only if both party agrees. Even in the ancient times, this type of condition like mine is very rare, afterall mythical beasts are even rare in ancient times".

Evan was lost in his own thoughts, he was thinking about his birth when someone placed a hand on his back. Evan walked out of his dream and saw Levi who was standing there with a strange look.

He asked, "Evan,have you gone stupid!Why are you sprouting random things early in morning."

Evan looked at Levi and thought all humans were not bad. Evil always mixed with good everywhere.

"In my previous life, I never thought, I could find someone who would become my friend due to my status. But in this life, I will make some friends whom I can trust."

Then he replied to Levi, "I have seen a bad dream. Just now I am thinking about it."

Levi grinned at him and said, "Evan let's go. Today we will chase that big crocodile in river. Everyone is waiting for you."

Evan nodded and followed Levi. He thought,

"In my previous life, I never did this type of things. But childhood should be passed in this way. Besides I should not do something suspicious, otherwise mother will worry about me."

In a distance,a group of children could be seen waiting. They immediately shouted at them, "Levi, Evan come here quickly. We have already located the crocodile."

Evan looked at the excited bunch and his mood also got better looking at them. He asked, ''Where is it."

A tall and muscular boy named Denis said

"I have seen it there. It was sleeping there silently, waiting for birds. It escaped, when it detected us."

Evan and Levi quickly went into action. Like professionals they jumped into river and went down into river and then they quickly turned and swam towards opposite direction.

Surprisingly, Evan was matching Levi's speed. Levi swam for some distance and then asked to Evan, "What did you eat last night? How come you are so fast today."

Evan was also shocked. He had recovered his devil soul already. But still Levi was matching him! Although he was not completely exerting himself, Levi's skills surprised him.

"Levi is a genius", he thought.

After sometime passed, Levi and Evan found the crocodile. Then everybody supported them and as a result a crocodile could be found lying down exactly opposite of as it used to be.

It's upper body was touching the ground while exposing it's lower body. It's Long mouth was bound with a creeper type plant. It was quite a funny scene.

All children played happily. While they were playing, Brianna appeared silently. She was floating in the air and her gaze was focused on Evan.

Evan felt something and looked back but could not find anyone. Brianna again became visible. Just now, she made herself invisible in nick of time. Otherwise she was going to be found out by Evan.

She was greatly astonished. She murmured, "What a keen perception. Is something changed about him from last night or I am thinking too much."
