Chapter 10 - Tragic past

Evan ran away and went towards riverbank. Instead of playing, he searched for a secluded place and sat down. He saw five or six Sylvia clan warriors following him.

He ignored them and his mind quickly drifted towards his past. He was a never before seen genius in his past life, despite his young age.

He was the only devil to awaken royal devil soul after his great grandfather. His place was above every devils in the southern domain. He got his reputation not because of his talent but for the fact that he was the only true successor to Hendrickson family.

Hendrickson family was the leader of devils in Southern domain. They ruled over Eternal moon kingdom . Even God race feared them because challenging them meant challenging the entire devil race.

There were three major powers who ruled over starfields from ancient time. They were God clan, devil clan and godbeasts. From time immemorial gods and devils hated each other.

Gods always thought that eradicating devils were their sacred duty. So, whenever they met, they stood at eachothers' throats.

There were no infighting among devils as each devil respected the strong. Whoever was strong would rule over masses. Rule was as simple as that.

Contrary to the devils, gods always loved to hatch conspiracy. They were always busy fighting among themselves. But for that attack on Hendrickson family, they came United.

Eternal moon kingdom fought fiercely but they were outnumbered by the enemies. As a result his every relatives perished and the Eternal moon kingdom lost the war.

People from God clans and allied army of heavenly warriors of human race slaughtered everyone from Eternal moon kingdom. They did not even spare the children. They tortured and killed the devil race in most possible brutal way.

Evan was only a child of eleven years at that time. Although he was talented, he was never interested in practicing cultivation. He preferred to spend his time immersed in books in royal library. He always got scolded for his habit but he still continued his reading habit anyway.

Thinking about those sweet memories and his relatives, Evan's eyes got moistened again. After all, he was only a child of eleven years at that time.

He thought about the burning capital of the Eternal moon kingdom and the desperate struggle of devils to protect their homeland, a burning flame of fury erupted in the eyes of Evan.

He murmured, "I will slaughter as many gods as many I will see. Gods and their lackey human clans, I will eradicate their every clan from the face of heaven. This enmity shall be avanged. Blood will be spilled again. I will make them pay this blood debt."

Listening the vow of Evan, eyes of Serberus also sparkled with fury but he quickly said,

"Little prince don't be impulsive, emperor had paid a great price to save you. He also sent the devil codex with your soul. So, you must not be rash at all. Your uncle Lewis was not present in the starfield at that time and you know manipulating soul was the biggest power of us, devils!

Their must be many powerful fighters who survived this war. You need to make yourself strong and reliable.

Take care of yourself. There is no devil general still around to obey your command."

During his last words, his voice became faint. It seemed like he was struggling to speak.

Evan said, "Uncle Serberus, You don't need to worry. I know your soul was injured and you need to slumber for a long time to awake again. But before this, I am requesting you to do two things for me."

"Considering your power, It is a very simple thing for you", he further added.
