"Do you know what kind of penalty you'll face for delaying my journey?" Without even glancing at it, Lynch casually said as he passed through the gate, "Go accept your punishment yourself!"

The guard widened its eyes, and finally, aimed the spear at itself. After stabbing, it lost its current form and weakened into the lowest-level creature with self-awareness here—a small Imp. Who knows how much time will pass before it can regain combat power from this diminutive Imp form.

Lynch strode into the gate of the Bronze Fortress, but soon he chose to disappear from the busy construction site. Lynch tried to avoid drawing any attention from the devils, and his Eye of Insight was a huge help. The mage passed through wall after wall, trying to move deeper into the Bronze Fortress, because the further out he was, the more likely he would become a casualty in a blood battle.

The Bronze Fortress had a total of twelve walls, and Lynch had roughly passed half of them, but he dared not go any deeper. This place was already the realm of the Horror Demons, and their terrifying appearance frightened even other devils. Their massive bodies and sharp claws enabled them to easily serve as commanders in blood battles. Here, Horror Demons roamed the streets in groups, with other lower-tier devils quickly giving way, and Lynch also hurriedly hid by the roadside.

This encounter couldn't help but remind him of his time in Ratris City, as a former mage of the first family, he was already familiar with such a hierarchical life. Only the last time, his role was as the first family's Adviser Mage, while this time, even though his abilities had greatly improved, he was still just a small human.

Two massive Quasits came forward, holding a string of outsider heads in their hands. Two huge execution longswords were slung on their backs, but the mage thought that just with their wrist strength, they could twist the necks of most creatures. These devils could be considered the patrols of the Bronze Fortress, and anyone disrupting the order here would be killed and offered to the first layer's lord. They could see through all disguises and invisibility, so the mage could only choose to flee.

But on the other side of the road, two more Quasits were closing in, interrogating a blue-skinned planar traveler. That guy handed them a yellow copper coin, placing it in the hands of the two Quasits. After a thorough inspection, the traveler was able to keep his life.

"Copper coin, copper coin!" Lynch's Eye of Insight immediately started scanning the surrounding buildings; at this time, even if he had to rob a copper coin, he had to act quickly. His gaze drew some powerful beings' attention, but the mage cleverly and swiftly averted his eyes, avoiding more trouble.

At a slave trading post by the street, Lynch found his target, a Desire Demon carrying no less than twenty copper coins. In another pocket at her waist, she had quite a few local currency coins. Beside her, two Horror Demons showcased their tower-like statuesque bodies, with strong muscles completely shielding the Desire Demon.

"Looks like that Desire Demon is a slave to a higher level Horror Demon." The mage quickly assessed, "Her job is to handle the goods."

Lynch Invisibly came behind the Desire Demon and used spiritual power to tap her head. She turned around, and the mage who had retracted the Eye of Insight's X-ray vision capability only then noticed her appearance.

Lynch had previously encountered a Banshee and had tasted the power of supernatural charm. Anyone of sane mind would succumb to the desires arising from within, regardless of what your original life goals were, they would collapse under such allure. However, comparatively, the Banshee's seduction was more domineering and direct, directly breaking the victim's rationality. On the other hand, the Desire Demon's methods were gentler and more natural, she would replace all the desires in your heart, making you her slave while keeping your rationality intact.

If one were to comment on the difference in appearance between the two, it would be a challenging task, because any man who simultaneously witnessed both would fall into a frenzy; and just witnessing one alone would make the subject involuntarily declare that this being before him was the most beautiful of all creatures. However, there were once those who could control their desires and objectively describe the appearance of a Desire Demon: smooth, alabaster skin like oil, only marked with purple spots on the upper arms, a distinctive trait that always aroused a man's desire to caress; ruby red lips like the flames of hell, capable of melting all restraint and unease; a delicate nose and eyes glowing green portrayed an image that was petite and lovable, evoking feelings of protection and sympathy; yet the Desire Demon's massive black wings and a flexible barbed tail behind her reminded of her identity, with forbidding and dangerous allure enticing others step by step.
