Monarch of Darkness

Night was long. Moon had hid far away to save herself from the tyranny of darkness. Bigblue was moving on a first pace and the deep region of forest seemed like the den of a devil from distance. Despite it's huge body, Big blue was very nimble and had not been causing any sound despite it's speed. But Evan was still on alert all the time.

"Shua.....Shua..." suddenly Evan heard light footsteps coming from his west. Evan signaled Bigblue to halt and they hid away behind a thick tree. He had soul contact with Bigblue. So, it could easily understand the intent behind his words.

Two warriors in sliver armours were running from a group of ferocious beasts. Evan's eyes narrowed. From the shining silver armours Evan already knew the running warriors were warriors of Sylvia clan.

But Evan didn't take any action. He wanted to know who was behind these beasts. Soon he saw two masked men who were following the attacking beasts in a distance. They were moving very nimbly without causing any noise. From their movement, Evan guessed they were using a magical movement technique. He looked at Bigblue and said, "Move little far from me and command your pack to surround this place. We will attack when I will think time is right."

Bigblue ran a little far from Evan and started to howl. Soon many howls came following the howls of Bigblue. Evan saw the two masked men halted their movement and looked at their surrounding vigilantly while holding their weapons. But after some time they still followed after the magical beasts. Evan again sit atop Bigblue and followed after the two masked men.

He spread his soul conciousness as far as possible and soon both of the masked men came into the range of his soul. From their body, Evan observed their current cultivation level. At first Evan was worried because he didn't know the exact location of his aunt Brianna. But now Evan felt relaxed as he finally had his targets infront of his sight.

Although Evan had not caught the enemies, he was relaxed because he knew their cultivation level. They were at the level of late stage of Meridian opening realm. As long as his opponents were within his cultivation realm, Evan could use his powerful soul to attack them. Sometime passed while chasing after them. Bigblue informed him through their soul link that it's underlings had already surrounded the place from every direction. But some wolfs couldn't return because they were very far away and didn't listen it's command.

Evan said, "Does not matter. Say your underlings to handle the beasts chasing after Sylvia clan warriors. You pick up one of your strong fighters and fight with those masked men. Don't kill them. I have use for them. I will stay in shadow. I can't reveal myself in open."

The two Sylvia clan warriors were running with as much strength as they could muster. But two magical beasts caught up with them. The magical beasts were medium size in height and they had long, blunt snouts, small eyes and large ears. From their thick coarse coats of spikes, Evan knew what they were. They were Blackspiked boars. The blackspiked boars were earth attributed magical beasts. They were very sturdy and fierce in nature. They were very common in White Orchid forest and most of them were in element sensing realm.

Although it was nothing threatening to Sylvia clan warriors in normal time but their sheer number now could drown them and there were still thirty to forty boars who had strength similar to Meridian opening realm warriors.

Two Blackspiked boars charged toward the Sylvia clan warriors. Both were in element sensing realm. One of Sylvia clan warrior swung his sword vertically. His sword lit up with red coloured light and fire covered the sword. The boar was split in half and it's corpse got charred black. Another warrior moved in a rapid speed and swung his sword in a crisscrossed manner. Green coloured light appeared on his sword and Evan knew from his attack that he was a wind attributed warrior.

Wind attributed warriors could move very fast and they could escape from the enemies of same strength easily. But clearly this Sylvia clan warrior didn't do so in order to protect his clan brother. The boar that came in touch with green coloured energy, flown into a distance and two deep scars appeared on its body.

But in the blink of an eye another four Blackspiked boars reached the Sylvia clan warriors. Evan knew it was the time and yelled "Now" in his mind.

A loud wolf howl could be heard and soon many wolfs appeared in the surrounding of boars and two masked men. With another fierce howl from Bigblue, three fierce looking wolfs walked out and pounced towards the masked men. A fierce battle started in the blink of an eye.

The two masked men were no push over. One of them held a broad sword in his hand and another held a fierce looking battle axe. Other Ironback blue wolfs pounced towards Blackspiked boars and a fierce battle started between both party. The Ironback blue wolfs used their sharp fangs and claws to tear apart the sturdy defence of boars. Evan noticed all Ironback blue wolfs were using rare metal energy, which was not one of five elements of heaven and Earth. Although Evan had already knew about it, but it was his first time seeing the power of metal attribute.

"Anyone who has metal energy, can have very strong attacking and defending ability", Evan thought in his mind. He focused on the battle field and as expected although both masked men were attacking fiercely and both possessed wind attribute, they couldn't win against Bigblue as it was a magical beast of peak stage of Meridian opening realm.

Soon, one masked man could not defend against a claw attack of Bigblue and his shoulder ripped apart in the process. Other warrior who was defending against three strong Ironback blue wolfs, received a fierce bite from one of the wolf on his abdomen and blood drenched all over his body.contemporary romance

"Now is the time", Evan thought in his mind and released one strand of his soul toward the masked man fighting Bigblue. Now as the warrior was already heavily injured and fighting Bigblue who was naturally superior to him in cultivation, he couldn't resist against the soul strand of Evan.

After the soul strand crept into the soul of the masked man, he appeared dazed. Evan used a technique to see through his memory. It was a powerful soulbased technique of devils, "Soul Invasion technique."
