'They've finally come.'
Damien's heart was practically beating out of his chest, but he kept an outwardly calm facade.
He was currently with Xue'er deep within the Holy Light Tomb. It was the location he decided to use to both train her and acclimate her to danger, and though he could use the All-Seeing Eyes to find the shortest route to the center and easily snatch the tomb's treasures for himself, he didn't do so.
Instead, he used the same ability to find the longest and most grueling route to the center, and unapologetically pushed Xue'er along that route.
As she encountered traps and illusions, her mental strength and battle sense would improve.
But it would take a lot of suffering before she could reach that point.
The current Xue'er was covered head to toe in small scratches and dried blood from wounds Damien healed long ago.
