" What is going on?" Damien looked at the physique that has been changed ever so slightly before turning to look at Lynch who was flying next to his ear. But before he could say anything else, the corpse of the demonic beast that was lying next to him glowed slightly before disintegrating, the second the demonic beast disintegrated ——a white glow shot through him before the corpse vanished and then he heard the voice in his head again.
[ Shadow Manipulation: First-grade skill —— You can now control the core skill of manipulating the shadow of your body or that of the enemies. First-level dark magic, it will depend on the strength of the user: Can be used to hide your presence, melt in shadows and appear out of shadows, and manipulate corpses. Level up to use other skills. The current corpse that can be controlled —- number 1.]
He watched as a small wisp of black mist curled around his wrist before settling down into a small, sinister cursive tattoo with a red ruby-like shape glowing at the centre of the wrist.
" That is going to help you a lot when it comes to becoming the demon lord of this world master!" Lynch said next to his ear and Damien had to agree with him because even if he could not see it, he could feel the strength brimming in his body.
" That was fascinating! I did not think that a low-grade demon like you will be able to kill that beast!" A feminine voice exclaimed in surprise behind him and brought him out of his thoughts. Because he was busy saving his life, he completely forgot about the demonic woman that has rushed past him, he thought that the woman might have run away from here but to his surprise, she was hiding somewhere close.
He turned around and looked at the woman with a wary look in his eyes, he looked at Lynch who patted his chest and assured him, " Don't worry master, no one can see what happened because treasure hunter skills are not something every demon can see. Apart from seeing you hunt the demonic beast, she didn't see anything else."
When Damien heard that the woman did not see anything, he heaved a sigh of relief. He did not want to share his skills with others given that he wasn't strong enough to protect himself yet if they were to find out that he had such a skill who knows what they might do with him?
" Why are you here?" Damien asked as he narrowed his eyes and then clutched the sword in his hands tightly, he was certain that this woman did not have any good intentions while hiding behind him and waiting for him to kill the beast. " Why were you hiding?"
" Hehe," the beautiful demon woman giggled softly as she cupped her face and looked at him in a shy manner. " I was thinking of taking down the beast once you have tired it out, I did not think that you will be able to kill it. I am Blair by the way, daughter of Sixth rank demon belonging to the Duke Vivi faction. Blair Clive. Demon of lust."
Damien did not understand what she meant by introducing herself in such a situation, seeing that he did not understand what she was trying to say. Blair stomped her feet on the ground and said in slight annoyance as the sweet expression on her face slipped and was replaced by slight anger, " I am a demon with the power of lust, I can only seduce demons. My powers don't work on demonic beasts, which is why I couldn't fight it."
" Oh," Damien nodded, his expression was indifferent. He did not drop his guard, as he turned his gaze away from the demon who was standing in front of him, he did not want to be seduced by a demonic woman who had the power of seduction. He was already having trouble fighting the seduction of Sierra who did not have the powers of seduction, God knows what will happen to him if he was to go against this woman. " If you are done then I have something to do." With that, he turned around to leave but was stopped by the woman who chased after him.
" Woah, are you going to leave me alone here?" Blair whipped in front of him with her arms outstretched as she looked at him while blinking her beautiful blue eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him. She was looking at Damien with growing interest in her eyes, she tilted her head to the side and said, " Are you going to leave me alone? I told you that I cannot fight against demonic beasts."
If it was someone else standing in front of Blair they would have succumbed to her super cute and pleading expression but Damien only glanced at her sideways and then said coldly, " What does that have to do with me? You chose to join this hunt meaning you had some plans. If you are thinking that I will be taking you with me, then you are wrong. Everyone for themselves, go and try this with someone else."
After speaking he turned around and then walked past Blair without taking another look at her beautiful face that was filled with surprise. Never before any man has ignored her, this could be said that it was her first time being shot down like this, her expression twisted into that of mockery before she turned on her heels and looked at Damien who was walking inside the hollowed cave like structure from where she came running out and scoffed.
" Fascinating," her eyes glinted slightly as she looked at his vanishing back. " I like him," she tilted her head. " I like him very much, he is very intriguing."
….
Damien who was walking ahead did not know that he seemed to have garnered the unwanted attention of another demon.
