"I see you decided to follow me." Synthia said while learning against a building.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked. My wounds were almost completely healed and there were only a few burn marks left.
That [Holy Territory] or whatever it's called is no joke.
"Well the Santuary has only been established a few days ago, so we are currently lacking certain supplies like weapons. We have food and water but those will run out eventually so it wouldn't hurt to have some extras lying around. But what I'm really lacking are combatants, people who can actually fight undeads so welcome to the fold." Synthia said.
"First of all why do you think I would help you in the first place?" I asked
"Your friends."
"I promised I'd get them to a safe place and as far as I'm concerned I've done just that."
"So what do you want then?" Synthia asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I want information." I said
"I guess I could do that what, do you want to know?"
"First of all, what the hells going on? Why did demon miasma suddenly come out of nowhere and started turning everyone into undeads." I asked. This was something I was very curious about.
"I guess I can answer that. There is a barrier that separates heaven, earth and hell from each other keeping them from spilling into each other. But the barrier that separates hell from earth has cracked and caused Demon miasma to spill onto earth which is causing people to turn into undeads." Synthia replied but there was something in her explanation that caught my attention.
"You're telling me that all this is being caused by just a crack."
"Oh yeah and from what I've heard it's only going get worse. The crack will widen and all types of demons from hell will be able to come onto earth."
"Isn't there a way to seal it?"
"No not that I know of."
"Next question, what is this interface. I've been seeing it ever since I became a Fiend?"
"Oh that, it's called the universal system. Only creatures that walks the path of profanity or enlightenment can have it aka demons and angels. Although humans can have it too if they cultivate on the either paths. The system basically shows all of your abilities in a way you can understand it." Synthia replied and most of what she said I already knew but once again there was something that caught my attention.
"What do you mean by humans can cultivate on either paths?"
"Oh that, I guess you wouldn't know. Humans can absorb either holy or demonic energies into their bodies to gain supernatural powers. Although cultivating the path of profanity is extremely dangerous and will likely end with them being turned into ghouls or something but the path of enlightenment is way easier since holy energy doesn't really have any corruptive properties."
"So does this mean you're going to help them cultivate?" I asked looking back at the mansion.
"Yeah, but it's gonna take a while so that's why I'm going to need you to collect resources so that I have the time to teach them."
"Last question, are there other angels here, on Earth?"
"Why do you ask?" Synthia asked suspiciously
"In the broadcast there were atleast seven different Santuary locations, so if there are angels I will be more reassured that the people there are safe." I said but that wasn't my main concern. If there were more angels then there is a chance they might try and kill me if they find me.
"Yes there are." And I sighed.
"Would they try and kill me even if I help you?"
"I thought you said that was your last question." Synthia said with a knowing smile on her face.
"Just answer the question." I said was a bit irritated.
"Yes a few of them will want to kill you but I'll put in a good word from you so don't worry too much." But that didn't reassure me in the slightest. I needed to prepare somehow and get stronger quickly...or I could run as far away as possible but I wasn't a coward.
