Monarch of Darkness

Evan was aware of the presence of Brianna but he still didn't open his door. Everyone was thinking that he still had not overcome his grief. So, he was still refusing to open the doors. But the reality was different.

Evan had no option but to stay inside his house.

"What is going on with me?", Evan muttered inside his mind. In these few days his condition was pretty strange. Sometimes he had clear eyes but sometimes his eyes were turning pitch black. Sometimes he was clear headed but sometimes he had a violent impulse to destroy everything Infront of him.

"This is clearly not that state. So, what is happening with me", Evan was pondering deeply inside his mind. In these few days, he was struggling to maintain his normal state.

Generally, every devil went through a special phase after their blood awakened for the first time. It was called as berserk state of devils. 

Devils generally couldn't handle this state for the first time. They turned into mindless creatures when they entered into berserk state for the first time. Gradually every devil learned to control this power and it became a fearsome power against their enemies. Even gods fear the devils when they entered into berserk state.

"I have felt the slight change in my blood but it stopped when I fainted. This is clearly not the berserk state. Looks like I have to ask grandpa Brasylx about it", Evan thought inside his mind.

He knew, his condition was slightly special. Earlier his agitated emotion and hatred made his blood awakened slightly and it stopped after he fainted.

Normally blood awakening of devils occurred when they approached the early stage of Profound transformation realm. The Profound transformation realm was all about tempering the body. The early stage of Profound transformation realm was the blood condensation realm.

Devils generally awakened their devil blood in this realm. Awakening had very important role among devils. A devil considered as a adult as long as he awakened his devil blood. Evan was aware of it but he couldn't think about the reason behind his strange condition. He didn't open his room because he didn't want to expose himself.

After waking up, Evan had recalled about the oath Infront of his mother. He lost control infront of everyone and he knew, it may arouse suspicion among those who were present at that time. "Fortunately, granny Adaline had come in right time and helped me. Otherwise, I couldn't have hid my secret from others", sweat appeared on Evan's head when he thought about the past night.

He knew he couldn't leak his identity in any circumstances. So, he vowed to be more careful in future. As for old lady Adaline guessed something or not, Evan didn't care because he had the belief that his secret was safe with her.

Raindust town, it was one of the town bordering the Thousand swords kingdom. Within an army stronghold of Blackridge kingdom, some warriors were drinking leisurely. 

"I heard the Thousand swords kingdom is in a pinch now", one of the the warrior in black armour spoke.

"Oh, Berette, are you taking pity on them?", one of the nearby warrior asked in a mocking tone.

"How can't I ? After all, my new concubine is taken from the Thousand swords kingdom", the warrior named Berette replied in a serious tone.

Everyone roared in laughter after hearing the words of Berette.

"Lord Crystoff, what is your opinion about it? Is the Thousand swords kingdom going to come out from their turtle shell this time?",one of the warrior looked towards the high platform.

In this hall, there were a raised platform and a golden robed man was sitting atop it. He was not participating in the conversation between the black armoured warriors. He was drinking his wine leisurely and he was giving off a feeling that he was not part of this boisterous surrounding.

"You don't have to worry about anything. You just need to work according to arrangements of our young master", the golden robed person replied in a calm tone.

"Lord Crystoff is right. We just need to follow the arrangements. The Thousand swords kingdom is nothing. Soon, the Northpeak empire is also going to fall in our hand", a warrior followed after the reply of the Golden robed person. Everyone's eyes gleamed brightly after hearing this. The golden robed person also chuckled slightly after hearing the words of the black armoured warrior.

"What high sounding sentiment. I didn't think that you guys have such a exaggerated opinion about the Golden orb sect", suddenly a voice appeared abruptly in the hall.

The Golden robed man frowned after listening to the voice. A solemn expression appeared on his calm face. "Friend, mind to show yourself", he shouted.

Suddenly a attack came out from thin air and the Golden robed person swung his hand towards the approaching attack. A air blast came from his hand and it managed to stop the approaching attack.

But suddenly a foreboding feeling appeared in his heart and he looked at the place where the black armoured warriors were sitting. There were four headless copses lying on the ground. His eyes dilated and a feeling of deep fear arose in his heart.

"Bastards, come out", he roared but there was no answer came from anywhere. He took out a short sword from his storage ring and launched a multidirectional attack. Green wind blades appeared all around him as he swung his short sword crazily towards every direction.

The walls collapsed as it couldn't stand the power of a Nascent soul stage expert. The Golden robed man flee towards outside after launching the attack.

A crimson coloured slash suddenly came from his behind. The golden robed person hurriedly dodged. A purple coloured slash came towards the direction where he dodged and the golden robed person couldn't get away this time.

Lightning covered his body and he got charred within few seconds. "Flee, the Thousand swords kingdom is attacking me now, The enemy had a peak stage..." he shouted in a panicked voice. Another crimson coloured slash appeared out of thin air and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Shit, it is the communication talisman. We have guessed correctly. Those bastards of Golden orb sect used concealment tailsman to attack the second queen", someone cursed loudly.

Three person appeared out of thin air. One was a thin old man. Another one was a young looking man with disheveled hair. The last one was a robust old man. The voice just before was from the young looking man.

"Larson, Let's finish all of the small fries first. The enemy was alert now. So we can't use a surprise attack anymore", the robust looking old man commanded the young looking warrior.

"These bastards can forget about escaping. Today I will kill untill I feel satisfied", the young looking man let out a crazed laugh.

"Old man Lui, inform me if enemy reinforcement come. I am going to kill some dogs who have escaped the net", the robust looking old man spoke.

The thin looking old man nodded but he still didn't speak anytime. The robust looking old man was familiar with the behaviour of thin old man. So, he immediately flew away to chase the enemies.

This night, the tiny Raindust town faced a large scale destruction. The ground became red with blood and countless Blackridge soldiers became corpses. The Thousand swords kingdom announced its bloody revenge with this incident.
