Lind had braced himself for horrific scenes of consumption or simply torture, but strangely, the villages of Fiends were normal.
It was a vile kind of normal, but still, normal. Families would tend to not only the pens full of humans with food, cleaning, and sometimes cultivation resources, but also crops and beasts!
In fact, he saw that the villagers had to use beasts kept in pens for their consumption. They did not kill them, however. It only took him a week of watching to see why.
The consumption was highly inefficient but if they consumed the beasts entirely at one session, they would quickly run out. The Fiends were also withered just like Kintz.
He did find something very tragic as well.
The children were not like the adults. They were not tainted by the consumption of souls. Yet, they had ash gray skin just like them. It told him they had been fed souls or something about the Celestial Fields corrupted them from birth.
