Monarch of Darkness

Evan wake up from his bed as usual.

He practiced breathing exercise for accumulating darkness element for a while and left his room.

But when he walked outside,he saw the moods of Sylvia clan guards were quite heavy and they stood in their place with a somber and silent expression.

He asked to a guard, "Uncle Steven,what happened? Why are you looking so down?"

The guard named Steven squeezed out a smile and said," Young Prince, nothing happened.Her majesty Olivia was looking for you. Please,go to her place."

Evan caught his lies but did not expose him. He murmured,

"What happened? I will find out it myself."

Evan walked past the guards and reached at his mother's place. Living places of Olivia, Evan and Brienna were adjacent to each other.

They lived in the Central palace of Sylvia clan.

Evan looked for his mother and soon found her talking with a maid freely. Evan felt relief by watching his mother. It seemed like she left behind some of her burdeon.

Soon Olivia found Evan,who was standing in a distance. She gave a sweet smile and walked to Evan.

No matter what happened, Olivia always freshened up seeing Evan well. He is the source of her living.

She held the hand of Evan and said," Evan, let's go to dining. Today we are late for breakfast."

"Ok,mom. Let's go",Evan walked with Olivia to dining room. While eating he asked,

"Mom,is anything happened last night?"

Before Olivia could said anything,nearby maid said,

"Little Prince you shouldn't play near the Orchid forest for a while.

Yesterday,magical beasts attacked while some of our Sylvia clan members hunting. Four powerful Sylvia clan warriors killed by them."

Evan felt surprise after listening to news. He murmured,

"These magical beasts are creating trouble from a long time. Unfortunately, I don't have required cultivation base. Otherwise,They will always wag their tail infront of me."

Evan thought,he needed to be strong quickly. He did not want to watch powerlessly as tragedy came to his life again.

Evan left towards the house of Levi,after finishing his breakfast.

When Evan found Levi,he was practicing with a sword. His whole body was full of sweat.

Since Levi awakened his wind element,he started practicing magical techniques of Sylvia clan to level up. Evan never saw him practice sword.

Evan walked toward Levi. Levi saw him and stopped his practice. Before Evan said anything, Levi started speaking,

Evan,Do you know something big has happened?"

Evan nodded and said, "Yes,I heard that four top fighters were killed by magical beasts."

Levi looked at Evan seriously and said,"Promise me,you will not say anyone,what I am going to say."

Evan nodded seroiously and replied,"I promise."

Although Evan was younger than him,Levi always treated Evan like equal and he knew Evan was very clever and mature compared to others of their age.

Levi said

,"When our warriors returned from forest wounded, I was awake at that time.

I peeked at them from my closed door and I saw two of the warriors were dead while arrows sticking out of their body. Other two were dead because of vicious looking wounds. I wanted to observe longer but found out by a strong warrior by his soul sensing ability." Levi told all of this without stop.

He looked at Evan and asked "what do you think." Evan said calmly,"Obviously it was a organized ambush. Someone is taking advantage of magical beasts' attacking on Sylvia clan or inciting them to attack Sylvia clan while they stay hidden."

Levi said," Yes,you have a point. But I heard even clan chief of Sylvia clan had gone for investigation but could not find anything."

Evan looked at Levi who seemed very disturbed due to this incident. He patted the shoulders of Levi and said, "Don't be anxious.You need to practice your magic cultivation in a calm mind. Only by being strong,you can do anything."

After consoling Levi he returned to his room. Immediately,he started practicing. He knew he could not do anything without being powerful."

Currently he was in middle stage of magic sensing realm.

Their are total three stages in magic sensing realm but no one can promote his magical realm,just by reaching late stage.

They have to practice to peak of late stage to pass through magic sensing realm.

Cultivation gap between two realms were enormous. It was like difference between a plateau and a hill.

Evan was currently trying hard to reach late stage of magic sensing realm.

He wanted to reach opening meridian realm as soon as possible. Opening meridian realm is the next stage of magic sensing realm.

Only by reaching, opening meridian realm one can proclaim himself as magic warrior.

Through opened meridians,one can mobilze magic to the surrounding and use them to display magical techniques.

Only by reaching opening meridian realm,Evan could use various powerful magic of demons.

Evan was practicing diligently to promote his cultivation level and their was no similar incidents of beasts attacking occured. But Sylvia clan warriors remained in high alert.
