Monarch of Darkness

Chapter 19: Trial by fire begins



Evan was taken aback by this revelation.

He thought, "The trial by fire to get the Archdevil inheritance must be very hard. Anyway, it is a very distant thing for me. Now let's try my luck in the inheritances,I can get."

Evan looked at old man Brasylx and asked,

"Grandpa Brasylx, Can I attend the trial now?"

A smile appeared on the wizened face of Old man Brasylx after listening to Evan. He was happy that someone of Hendrickson family calling him Grandpa again.

Brasylx who was Generally very composed,lost in his thoughts and recalled some old memories after listening to Evan.

Now when he looked at Evan again,he found him more pleasing to his eyes. He said in a soft tone,

"Ryan brat,this test is very hard. Although it will not harm a person but it can give a scar to your heart. If you can't endure, then you can always give up. Giving up is not always a bad thing. a wise man always know when to take a step back."

Evan nodded seroiously. "I will keep your advice in my mind",he promised.

Evan could see the kind intention of Old man Brasylx towards him and he felt a belongingness towards old man Brasylx,the belongingness he only felt from his previous family members.

Old man Brasylx waved his hand and a strange multicolored light flew toward a distant corner.

A faint silhouette of a ancient door appeared in the place,where the multicolored light disappeared before.

Then a teleportation channel appeared under the huge stone slabs and Evan walked inside it.

Behind him he could listen the voice of Old man Brasylx,who was saying to keep his words in mind.

Teleportation channel started and he appeared outside of a huge stone door.

Stone door was looking ancient and of pitch black colour. Exquisite diagrams of ancient devils were carved on it.

Evan saw two devils with gigantic bodies fighting each other. Heaven and Earth was shaking with each clash. They were fighting with their sharp claws and teeth. Fight was brutal to extreme. After this fight ,scene ended.

Evan who had fully immersed himself in fight,felt deep astonishment in his mind.

He thought,

"These carving are of very high level in workmanship. Carvings,which can display reality, I can bet very rare in current era."

Evan,who was initially thinking of going inside huge door,changed his plan and started observing every details of carvings .

Evan loved to study ancient history of devils in his previous life. Evan always took pride in the fact that he was a devil. So,these sets of carvings which had great deals of knowledge about ancient devils,peaked the curiosity of Evan.

Meanwhile,back in the starting point,old man

Brasylx was seeing a projection in front of him.

Surprisingly, he was seeing a projection of Evan who was currently observing the carvings.

He muttered, "It was a test which was considered toughest even back in our era. Although this brat is very talented, It is nearly impossible to pass this test. This test was one of the tests for ancient royal heirs.

No one of Hendrickson family,after that war

with gods had entered even this gate,forget about taking the test inside it. Everyone had given into bloodlust after seeing the fights of ancient devils."

Evan did not know when he lost himself in the world of carvings. Gradually he started to feel the emotions of ancient devils when they were fighting. His eyes also starting to grow red as he could feel the rage of ancient warriors.

Old man, Brasylx who was watching Evan started to frown. He muttered,

"I am afraid if this brat also fell to go inside,then no one from Hendrickson family of this era could do it either.

After all,no one know the true position of Hendrickson family among the devils,who used to rule over the death.

They will never lower their standard,even if they face annihilation."

He was frowning when he saw Evan again.

His eyes grew wide and he yelled in disbelief,

"What is going on?"

Evan was completely engrossed by the scene of stone carving. Currently he was following one of the warriors and following his clawing techniques.

Although he was lost in the world of carvings,he had not given into bloodlust rather he had lost himself while practicing the techniques and feeling the emotions of ancient devils.

Old man Brasylx gradually grew more stupefied. Evan who was initially sluggish and missing some key aspects of techniques, improving rapidly to the point that a heaven shaking might was erupting from his practice of techniques.

Although old man Brasylx could not see,what is happening inside the world of carvings,he could watch Evan who seemed to be in a enlightened stage .

After some time,old man Brasylx regained his previous demeanour. He looked at Evan and a grin appeared in his face,he said

" I bet no one had ever considered,what Evan is doing. Sometime,small things which normally everybody ignored could become the biggest assets."

Previously, any devil who tried this trial,merely tried to resist the emotions they felt,when seeing the carvings.

But Evan did not resist the emotions,rather he felt them and through it feel their battle spirit and followed their techniques.

Evan gained enlightenment from the carvings one by one.Actually anyone who could resist one carving, can enter the gate by pressing the gate.

Evan was also instructed to do so by Brasylx.But he choose to observe all the carvings instead. He had no specific purpose to do so,but he deeply revered his ancestors and whenever he read about their ferocious fightings,he felt his blood boiling.

As a true scholar,how could he miss this opportunity to directly see the ancient devils and their methods of fighting!
