Monarch of Darkness

Chapter 26: Return



'Ancient devil Meridian', A word echoed inside the mind of Evan but he could not recall if anywhere he listened this word.

From his conjecture, he could tell that it was a very special meridian. Meridian construction was finished after some time. Evan felt astonishment when he felt the changes inside his body. Now he could attract more darkness energy than before in a rapid pace. Ancient Devil Meridian was like a funnel which endlessly attract surrounding darkness energy towards Evan.

But Evan noticed a special attribute of Ancient devil Meridian. This meridian could filter out pure darkness energy without any effort from Evan. This Meridian wouldn't circulate any energy from heaven and Earth except darkness energy. Evan felt pleasantly surprised. Afterall who would not feel happy if he provided with such a gift which could provide constant supply of energy without any effort.

Evan took some time to adjust his power. All fifty six meridians of his body was now opened up with an extra meridian. A silly grin appeared on his face and he murmured

"I can use some basic weapon techniques now that I have reached Meridian opening realm. Let's see if some stupid beasts dare to cause trouble infront of me now."

Evan stood up and bowed deeply towards the central statue and ancestor of Hendrickson clan. Then he spoke resolutely,

"Your descendant will again bring back the glory of ancestors for devils."

A look of determination flashed in the eyes of Evan. He then walked outside of pavilion and stepped on the teleportation portal.

Evan returned to the starting point of ancestoral land of his Hendrickson family and found old man Brasylx smiling at him. Evan bowed slightly towards old man Brasylx.

He felt old man Brasylx helped him tremendously in his path of cultivation.

Brasylx kept caressing his long wizened beard. He said smilingly, "Very good. You have passed the test. Now you can keep cultivating in this place."

Although old man Brasylx didn't tell much congratulatory words to Evan, he felt very much surprised in his heart. Afterall this test had not been cleared by anyone in this era of Hendrickson clan. Yet, Evan cleared this test without any prior guidance.

Evan shook his head slightly and said,

"Grandpa Brasylx, I can't stay here longer.

I most have taken a long time in passing this test. I have to return quickly. The clan currently I am in, facing some hidden enemy attacks now."

Brasylx smiled in a mysterious manner and asked, "Ryan, How much time do you think passed after you started taking the exam."

Evan stared curiosly at old man Brasylx and replied, "Almost one month time I guess. I have wasted so much time in passing that exam", Evan was still feeling sweat appeared on his head whenever he thought about that real life experience like exam.

Brasylx smiled and said, "Only three day has passed since you have come here. Anything you went though in this test is called mental journey."

Evan felt surprised that such a thing as Mental Journey existed in this world. He wondered if one could go through many times in such type of mental journey and keep his heart intact, then how much that person would improve.

He didn't say his thoughts to Brasylx and after saying goodbye to him he stepped on the teleportation portal.

Evan appeared inside his room in Sylvia clan.

He went outside to check out the situation of Sylvia clan. He went outside and found Levi outside his room.

Levi was still practicing non-stop. Evan looked around and found Sylvia clan guards who were always guarding him. That time, he saw all were looking gloomy as if some heavy stones weighing on their heart.

He walked toward them and asked,

"What is going on? Uncles, Why are you looking so down."

Seeing Evan all of them tried to show a smile on their face. But Evan was a very clever child. He saw through their forced smiles.

A middle aged man dressed in shining armor of Sylvia clan who seemed like the leader of guards replied,

"Nothing happened young prince. Queen Olivia was looking for you. She is very much worried about you."

Evan then walked towards Levi who was still practicing crazily. Levi had already saw Evan when he was speaking with guards. He paused his practice and asked Evan,

"Has you seclusion gone well? How are you feeling?"

Evan nodded and replied,

"It was good. I want to talk to you about something. But first I have to go see my mom."

Levi nodded and said, "I have also something important to talk with you. But first go meet your mom. She has already come here many times but didn't disturb you."

Evan nodded and walked past Levi to see his mom. Levi looked at his back and a thought came to his mind. "Is he changed? Looking like he became more mature in these few days."
