"What? How could a Demon God appear!"
Though the giant ox's silhouette was still far away, its vague yet immense figure was truly terrifying.
Almost simultaneously, all the senior figures of Exorcist Pass appeared on the city walls, bracing themselves for battle.
Even Ilyx, who was hidden within the Eternal Tower, took notice.
"This fellow's not bad. If we slaughter this ox, we can probably get tens of thousands of Spiritual Power points!"
Ilyx had been pondering whether to hunt down a Demon God, and one had actually popped up.
In all likelihood, it was because of his previous actions that he had drawn the attention of the Demon Clan's higher-ups.
Do not be fooled into thinking the Demon Clan were completely disorganized.
Once inexplicable events occurred at the front lines of the battlefield, they would inevitably grow nervous.
Just as the old ox prepared to charge forward, a crimson shadow suddenly flashed before everyone's eyes.
It resembled a woman wearing a vibrant red cheongsam, exuding the air of a mature and sophisticated beauty.
With fiery red lips, striking long legs, and a terrifying aura of spiritual power swirling around her, she was nothing like Bai Yue, who deliberately dressed down—this woman was a standard Demon God.
She was the only female among the 72 Demon Gods!
It was Sidi, the Demon God from the 12th Pillar.
She was capable of controlling everyone's desires and passions.
It was said that this woman was the true commander of the entire Demon Clan army at Exorcist Pass.
"You stupid ox, what are you coming out for? Do you want to expose our Demon God deployment ahead of time?"
Sidi was certainly not going to fret over the deaths of a few thousand foot soldiers.
There was only one reason this beautiful female Demon God had shown up: the old ox had been far too rash.
"Lord Sidi, scouts reported that a very strange magician appeared on the human side, wiping out many of our..."
He pointed toward the center of the battlefield ahead.
It was already a completely deserted zone.
Not even a single low-level monster could be found.
Ilyx had absorbed them far too thoroughly.
He hadn't even spared the withered bones beneath the earth!
No wonder it had caused panic among the enemy.
"Shut up. That wasn't necessarily the work of humans; it might have been a high-level magical beast!"
"What? A magical beast?"
"Enough, withdraw quickly! Do not expose our strength to the enemy anymore!"
With that, the figure of the Demon of Desire slowly faded and vanished into thin air.
The giant ox snorted a breath of white mist, glaring fiercely at Exorcist Pass in the distance.
"You ants! Sooner or later, I will take every last one of you!"
The next moment, the old ox turned around and slowly strolled back toward the rear.
It seemed this was not an intended offensive by the Demon Clan, but rather that Ilyx had made them far too curious.
"Master, that female Demon God hasn't completely left. It seems she has entered some kind of stealth state!"
At that moment, Xiao Xiao Number One seemed to spot through the enemy's trickery.
He timely reminded his master.
Although Ilyx's spiritual power had already surpassed 200,000 at this point—securely placing him at the human Ninth Tier—compared to these high-level Demon Gods, he still fell slightly short.
"Could it be that she's waiting for me?"
"Master, aren't you just being a bit narcissistic?"
"Naughty!"
As soon as those words fell, another figure materialized where the 12th Pillar Demon God had been standing moments before.
Who else could it be but Ilyx?
Shortly after his figure emerged, a charming fragrance drifted through the air.
It was the kind of scent that instantly stirs a man's hormones.
Making one inadvertently think of *that* kind of thing!
"Ah!"
"You really did show up. This little lady has been waiting here for a long time!"
It was Sidi!
The Demon God who controlled desire and passion was indeed still here.
"How could I possibly miss a beauty's appointment?"
Ilyx looked at the female Demon God before him with a smile, his eyes unhesitatingly roaming up and down her figure.
Sidi, for her part, was remarkably poised.
Not only did she puff out her chest and lift her chin, but she also slowly stepped her right foot forward.
As if to let the man before her examine her more closely.
"Am I pretty?"
If you thought this Demon God was merely flaunting her charm, you would be dead wrong.
There was naturally a reason this woman was called the Demon God of Desire.
Ordinary people only needed to cast a single glance at her, and their minds would fill with images of men and women entwined.
Let alone appreciating her from such close quarters.
Furthermore, the aura emanating from this woman acted almost like a potent pheromone.
Capably delivering intense psychological suggestion!
Of course, compared to the Divine Maiden Furnace, these abilities were nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
The two were simply not on the same level!
Originally, the Demon God of Desire intended to control Ilyx, throwing him into disarray and even turning him into her puppet.
Yet this beautiful female Demon God never expected that Ilyx, as a Necromancer, was completely immune to such tricks.
Besides, he was inherently the ultimate hunter.
He was merely presenting himself in the guise of prey today!
In fact, the very moment he revealed himself, Ilyx had already activated his Divine Maiden Furnace.
Consequently, Sidi fell into the trap far quicker than he did!
"Haha, why don't we turn each other into a delectable feast and exchange some insights?"
Seeing that Sidi's eyes already held a dazed, infatuated look, Ilyx directly extended his right hand, as if intending to grasp the delicate hand of the great beauty before him.
Normally, such a move would not succeed so easily.
How could a dignified Demon God of the 12th Pillar be caught by a mere human?
Yet just as the woman tried to dodge, her body involuntarily made the exact opposite movement.
It was subconscious, purely instinctive!
"Ah... what, what did you do to me?"
Sidi's body was out of her control, though her mind still offered a flicker of resistance.
As the Demon God of Desire, she now felt herself losing agency.
What kind of sorcery was this?
"Whatever you wanted to do to me, I'm going to do to you."
"You... you're no human!"
Driven by instinct, Sidi wanted to run away.
Yet the moment her small hand touched the man's large hand, she felt her entire body go limp and unable to move.
Moreover, the warmth radiating from him made the woman yearn to sink deeper and deeper.
Just like a stray little wildcat that suddenly stumbled upon a soft, cozy cat bed.
Though wary, once touched, she could never leave again!
"When did I ever say I was human?"
Watching Sidi collapse softly against him, Ilyx smiled.
It was the smile of a cunning fox that had finally caught its meal.
It was a smile of smug triumph, the smile of a successful hunt!
Who could have imagined it?
Roughly ten kilometers west of Exorcist Pass, the master of the legendary 12th Demon God Pillar—the renowned Demon God of Desire, Sidi—had just been captured by an unknown human quasi-knight.
And she had even been the proactive one...
"Ah, you really are my little tormentor... don't tell me you don't even want to find a bed?"
