"This…" Cyril had never thought that there could be another demon similar to Xagan roaming around the world.

Many questions immediately came to his mind so he wanted to make sure that he didn't misunderstand Xagan's words.

"There's another demon? Is it similar to your level? Is it also sealed and only a projection now? Or perhaps just some traces of another demon from the old items here?"

Cyril asked a series of questions while hoping that Xagan can at least answer one of them. He knows how stingy this demon is since he wanted to consume his life span as quickly as possible.

After all, this is the demon's only way to get out of the seal faster.

"Hmm… I can't tell you, contractor… At most, I can say that there is indeed another demon around here. If you want more information, give me 10 days of your life. It's cheap, right?"

"Ugh… Nevermind. I already know the future, remember? There were no rampaging demons that caused trouble on Earth if I could recall it correctly… Anyway, there's no way I would miss news of that level... It would probably be you for the first time if in case I die."

Cyril said as he did his best to recall any incident related to a demon in his previous life.

However, there doesn't seem to be any related cases so he decided not to pry too much about them instead.

Anyway, since it would not help him find the Tree of Life, it's better to not use his remaining life span.

"Kekeke… Too bad. It might be interesting, you know?" Xagan chuckled as if he was trying to tempt him into making a deal.

"Hmph…" Cyril then continued walking away unsure what kind of information he missed. Anyway, he already made his resolve so he had to be firm with it. He will only use his remaining days as long as it would help him find what he's searching for.

He already spent a lot after having a deal with him about his universal linguistic ability.

He then decided to move away from the city and randomly use his Crystal Hunter from time to time. He might get lucky to find some unowned Entrance Crystals after all.

Unfortunately, most of the Crystals are surrounded by powerful Awakened or in places known to be bases of powerful guilds and underworld organizations.

He can't mess with these large organizations too much since it might greatly affect the future that he knows. He's only willing to change the future if he knows that it would greatly benefit him.

As soon as Cyril left the Tower, a woman wearing a black jacket and blue jeans glanced at him. She has a mask covering half of her face as she unconsciously started following him.

"Hmmm… What is this sensation?"

The lady muttered as this is the first time she had felt something like this. It is some kind of attraction that she had never experienced before.

She looked at the young man who is the source of this sensation but she couldn't find anything amiss…

He doesn't have a pretty face but it is quite attractive. However, she had seen a lot of beautiful men and had never felt something like this before!

"Ugh! What's going on now?"

She started thinking really hard to understand what exactly is happening to her.

In the end, she found three reasons that could possibly attract her towards that man. Luckily, she can still feel that she has full control of her will and she could stop chasing him at any time she wants.

First, she was probably hypnotized without her knowledge by using some kind of precious Artifact. Perhaps, that person wanted her and used this kind of trick to kidnap her secretly.

The other reason is that she's already hallucinating after staying here in this world for several weeks. She would probably have to return to her Arcane World and stop investigating this place. Perhaps, her defenses have gotten weaker after staying here for long.

Finally, that person is probably similar to her! A fellow demon with an attractive scent!

She tried following him to know the truth but he went to the train station. She doesn't have access to this place because of her lack of an access card that gives permission to enter this place.

Apparently, she has already tried entering the train station before. In the end, she found a secluded place where she transformed into a crow and followed the train.

'He doesn't have the aura or scent of a demon… It's weird… Is he hiding it carefully? Perhaps he has a higher rank than me?'

She immediately shook her head after reaching this thought.

The Arcane World where she had come from can only allow one demon to get outside and investigate the other side where the Awakened are coming from.

If she's here, there is no way that other demons could come to this place.

'As far as I know, strong demons aren't existing in this world… Only superficial demons at the lowest rank that could at most scare some people exists here.'

The demoness kept thinking hard and finally thought that there might be another Arcane World where demons exist!

'He doesn't even have a single powerful Artifact. All his possessions are trash. There's no way he could hypnotize me.'

She then sighed as she doesn't know what to do with this… She can ignore the young man that is probably related to her demon race and continue finding out the secrets of the Awakened.

However, the thought of getting more information from a fellow demon really tempted her. It would not only quicken her investigation but she might even form a connection to a hidden group of demons living in this world.

She's hesitating to let go of her only clue since this world has billions of people. She might have trouble looking for another one like him!

'Ugh! Whatever! Let's do this!'

She finally decided to confront that person!
