Chapter 29 - shadow tamer

"Master even if that woman was really beautiful my mistress is a lot more beautiful, please don't fall for her," Lynch worriedly said to Damien thinking that he would fall for the demon woman whom they just met given that she was looking a bit cuter than Sierra. " Even though she is a bit cuter than Miss Sierra, she is not on par with Lady Sierra at all. She is not as rich as Lady Sierra and she is not as strong as Lady Sierra, so don't even think about getting along with that demon girl!"

" Shut up," Damien said bitterly and pointed at the dark forest that was ahead of him, he could hear the sounds of the beasts who were growling and roaring in the hidden shadows of the forest. " There is a bunch of danger waiting for us already and you are advising me about my non-existent love life? Just now a leopard that was half my size in my world but now somehow became as tall as an elephant in this world attacked me and you are worrying about demon females? Are you for real right now? And pay attention to what is important?"

" Even though you don't have many chances of making it out of this thing alive, I have to say that you are one of the bravest and most sensible masters I ever had and if this makes you feel happy, I really like you——"

" I don't" Damien interrupted Lynch who seemed to be already talking to him like he was dead and he was attending his funeral.

" But you are someone who keeps a good track of reality and knows how to adjust yourself," Lynch continued as they walked inside the forest as if Damien did not stop him from speaking just now. He looked at Damien and then clapped his hands with an excited expression on his face, " Don't worry master, I will definitely support you through the end of the time."

" Yeah thanks as long as you keep your eyes ahead of what lies in front of us would be rather good as well," Damien told Lynch with an indifferent expression on his face. He knew that Lynch was too childish but he did not know that he was this childish, was this the place or the time to act like this?

His life was on the line here!

" Oh yes," Lynch stopped talking as he turned his head and looked at the place where they were standing and then thought about it carefully and then pointed to the west. " There take fifty steps in that direction and then you will find a small rabbit hole, one that will be big enough for you to go down it."

" How will a rabbit hole be big enough for me to go down it?" Damien asked as he looked at Lynch with a confused look on his face while the latter looked at him with a smile and answered, " Just how the leopard who was supposed to be half of your sized turned around to be bigger than you."

Damien looked at the small treasure hunter demon and wished he could send it flying but then if he was to do that he will surely die here which was why even though he did not want to take another look at this small demon, he still left him alone and walked in the direction where he was pointing to, no sooner did he finish walking fifty steps, a small cave that was big enough to store half of his apartment came into view, he looked at the cave and then turned to look at Lynch who was staring ahead of him.

" This is what you call a rabbit hole?" Damien asked him as he looked at Lynch, this was big enough for him to set up a miniature living room! Where the hell was this small?

"It is too small right?" Lynch turned to look at him and contrary to his surprise at the big cave that was being called a rabbit hole, the latter looked at him with an awkward smile on his face as he said, " The rabbit might have not grown up when the lord of this world sent him away, which is why this hole is a bit small."

This was small? Dear God. Never once had he thought that there will be a time when he would get scared of rabbits but at this moment Damien was silently praying that he did not come face to face with a rabbit at all.

He heaved a breath and then sucked in a courageous breath before he took a brave step forward into the dark rabbit hole, the slope of the rabbit hole was slightly dangerous and many times Damien almost slipped inside it, if not for his careful footwork.

As he walked inside the rabbit hole his eyes could not adjust to the darkness, seeing this he wished he brought a torch with him. As soon as this thought came to his head, he realised that the tattoo on his wrist started to glow an eerie red before all the darkness of the place was swallowed up and his vision slowly got adjusted to the darkness in such a way that he could see everything without even a torch or anything in his hands.

" Woah, what is this?" He asked as he looked at the tattoo on his wrist.

Seeing that he was looking at the tattoo that was engraved on his wrist, Lynch smiled at his master and carefully explained it to him. " You are a shadow tamer now master, everything that is linked to darkness and shadows will be under your command, if you command you can swallow the darkness of a place and make it yours, or you can engulf a room filled with light with darkness if that is what you wish."

Damien knew that he acquired a new skill but he did not know that this skill was this useful. He looked at the tattoo on his wrist and then slowly closed his eyes as he thought about filling the entire space with darkness again, no sooner did he do that his entire body stiffened as his blood roared to the surface, and before he knew it, he felt something hot and cold leave his body at the same time.

And when he opened his eyes he was surprised to see that the entire space was filled with nothing but pitch-black darkness. So dark that he couldn't even see his own hand when he raised it in front of him.
