Chapter 29 - Dominion Begins
As he plunged the beast core into his body, an overwhelming feeling of relief washed over him, almost like someone had just dropped a bucket of cold water on his head while he was on top of hot coal.
Blood began to flow out of his body, but instead of falling to the ground with the force of gravity, it floated in the air and began encircling around Kenji's body, like a red River flowing through a current.
As the blood that flowed out of his body became more abundant, it slowly began encasing him in some kind of shell like cacoon made of blood.
As the blood flowed out of him, the beast core in his chest also began dissolving, as it replaced the flowing blood that was being expelled out of his body with itself.
As more blood flowed out, the beast core bagn to dissolve more and more into a liquid state, replacing Kenji's blood with a blood-red coloured liquid dissolving from the beast core.

Kenji's original blood soon encassed him in a cacoon of blood, and in a swift motion of the wind, the cacoon solidified, forming the image of an actual cacoon, except it was blood-red.
" Finally, I thought the process would never end," Shreya said, as she shook her head and flew into the cacoon.
The scenery in this part of the inn was a strange one, as the moonlight fell onto a blood-red coloured cacoon on top of the balcony, as three cute little children fell into deeper slumber.
••••••[ Demon empire]••••••
Inside of the demon king's luxurious palace, a red demon with three horns and a large staff with a cloak that overshadowed her perfect body suddenly arrived inside of the demon king's throne room.
She knelt down before the imposing figure of the demon king, as she began to give out her report," Demon Lord, it is as you have suspected, they are not four, bit five, our intelligence department has gathered multiple information about this, and have confirmed your suspicion," she said with her head bowed.
A suppressive aura suddenly flew out chaotically from the body of the demon king, as he stood up from his throne imposingly, do you know what had happened to the fifth hero?" He asked, his voice imposing as a giant staring down on an ant.
The lady shook her head in denial, as the intelligence department was only able to even know this much due to their top spies who have infiltrated the orthodox palace.
" Alright then, try and find out what happened to him, and I believe a lieutenant is around that area, send her in to go and figure out who he is," he said once more, as he suddenly vanished from the throne room, allowing the lady on the ground to rise up.
" Phew! At least he was in a good mood today, any other day and I would have probably been killed for my incompetence at finding such information," she said, as she wiped off the droplets of sweat that had appeared on top of her forehead.

" Someone is awakening! "
" Do you think it's him? But isn't it a little too early?"
" Yeah, it is a bit too early, but we did modify a few things in this timeline that shouldn't have taken place, so I guess it's understandable why it's happening now,"
" Why don't we just go and kill him, and mean wouldn't that just end the whole problem?"
" It would, but no. There are too many events that need to take place before we kill him. Besides, "he" had sent some reinforcement. So once we try to get close to him, their memories and powers would be unbounded till they take care off us for the time being,"
" Besides that, we would get noticed by "them" if we modify things too much, and that might cost us more than needed,"
" No it wouldn't, we would actually be in control again, not the other way around!"
" That's not how it works. How would you feel if you met a stronger you? What would you do to it?"
" Probably probe it for future information and make sure i force him to get stronger immensly,"
" Exactly! So it's best we still stay in the dark and leave them all in suspense and confusion,"
" Alright then, I agree,"
" Good, now what about the dungeons, shall we make them harder. I think we should for it is a good safety measure, before he takes them all,"
•••••[ Kenji's balcony]•••••
The cacoon gleamed a blood-red light, as some form of energy would occasionally seep out and create a web of complicated cracks.
As the cracks grew, more blood-red light would gleam out of it, encassing it's brilliance.
After a while, the light exempting from the cracks began to change colour to a more relative blue colour.
As the blue colour being released from the cracks began to become brighter, the cracks on the cacoon began to increase as it soon began shaking violently, almost as if the light was an entity being trapped in a cage, and wanting to be free from the clutches of the bar. But in this case, from the clutches of the cacoon.
With each violent shake and everytime the light increases it's intensity, the cracks soon became connected like that of a spider web. If it were to be pushed by the finger of a child, it was sure to collapse.
Boom!
The cacoon exploded with a loud bang, as a brilliant blue light exuded from it and caused shattered cacoon to be overshadowed by the brilliance behind this light.
The faint outline of a man could clearly be noticed in the blue light, as it slowly dimmed.
As the light dimmed more and more, the man's outline bagn to become clearer, just like his handsome features.
Kenji!
The man slowly walked out of the bright light and into the moonlight. And truly as he stepped into the moonlight, his demeanor and appearance had truly changed.
His hair sporting a sky blue like colour, as his clothes which hadn't been any impressive had suddenly changed also. [ I wonder what evolution has to do with the clothes. But whatever, I'm just the narrator!]
His eyes were now like that of the deep blue sea, as even his body had taken on a lean muscular outlook.
Shreya suddenly flew out of Kenji's head and unto his shoulder, as she looked on at him in awe," congratulations Kenji, you've just taken the first step into becoming a true Animal Tamer," Shreya said in a congratulatory manner.
Kenji only smiled at her words as he stared up into the inky black sky," The start of my Dominion, begins today!"
