"I want to see what exactly they can do so let's step outside. Unless you guys don't want to." I said and then stepped outside.
"Let's do this, I have wanted to put you in your place." Said Kirt as he walked behind me and the others soon followed. Synthia just sighed and follow after us along with Alice who created an umbrella like object to shield her from the sun.
"Aren't you going to transform into a Demon?" Claire asked
"No." I said, I decided to fight in my human form since my Demon form would be over kill. I did however decide to use my cursed sword that I always kept close to me.
"Well that just makes things easier for us." Claire said and then she charged at me along with Kirt and Tim leaving Roxy behind. She swung her sword at me but I easily parried it away then Tim came in with a horizontal strike and I allowed the force if the blade to carry me across the ground successfully allowing me to dodge Kirt's spear strike much to his frustration.
"Don't get in my way, Tim." Kirt said and charged at me with his spear and he thrusted the spear at my head but I leaned my head to the side and then grabbed the shaft of the spear. He tried to pull the spear from my hand but I wouldn't budge. I spun around with the spear in my hand and then released it which sent him flying into the side of the house. Oops.
The other two just shook their head and then charged at me. As they ran towards me their swords started to glow a dull golden colour indicating they were using holy energy. As I prepared to intercept them sensed something flying towards me, looked around and saw a golden arrow flying at me and knew it was from Roxy. I easily grabbed the arrow and crushed it in my hand causing it to turn into golden sparks. By this time the other two has reached me and both swung at me with horizontal strikes so I jumped into the air to dodge. While in the air I conjured a fireball and threw it at their feet and then made it explode sending them both flying from the impact but without any serious injury. An arrow flew at me while I was in the air but I easily smacked it to the side. I soon landed on the ground and then I immediately shot towards Roxy. She fired golden arrows at me but I dodged all of them and then I swung my sword at her neck but stopped a few inches of it and I could see sweat trickling down the side of her face.
"You lose." I said loud enough for all of them to hear. I could hear someone clapping and turned around to see Alice clapping her hands and Synthia looking at me strangely. She was looking at me like she wanted to find all of my secrets. Like I was hiding something and she wanted to know what.
"I guess you guys will be helpful fighting tier 2s but you guys can't handle tier 3s just yet." I said while walking back into the house. Kirt groaned as he got up off the ground and the other two did as well while Roxy who was uninjured simply walked after me.
"Ok now will you tell me what you meant by 'here too'." I asked as soon as all of us entered the house.
"Fine. As you know there are other Angels on Earth and they are taking care of other Santuaries such as this one. Throughout the week I have been getting reports of Santuaries being attacked by demon species and four of the Santuaries were destroyed." Synthia said with a sad expression.
"My lady..." Claire said and went over and tried to console her.
"Does that mean that the Angels were killed or did they manage to escape?" I asked
"Three of them died and the other one managed to go back to heaven although I doubt she will ever come back here again."
Synthia said
"And what happened to the humans?" I asked
"Colin I think that's enough." Claire said but Synthia answered anyway.
"They were either killed or turned into demons. I was told that tier 4 demons were spotted so them being turned is an option." Synthia said and I started processing what she just said.
"Couldn't you get more Angels to come to Earth?"
"No, most of them aren't interested in what goes on here and I'm pretty sure once word of what happened to the four Santuaries spread, if it hasn't already, no one will want to come here." Synthia said with a sigh.
The situation was looking more and more dire. If demons continue to come from hell and we can't expect any reinforcements from the Angels then itbis more than likely that the human race will soon become extinct.
*Booooooooooooo*
"What is that? Is that a horn?" Alice asked as the sound reverberated through the air.
"That's a war horn. Don't tell me." Synthia said and then walked outside. She instantly transformed into her angel form and grabbed both Claire and Tim and flew into the sky.
"Grab those two." She said as she flew away.
"Alice stay here we'll be right back." I said as I transformed into my Demon form. I grabbed Tim and Roxy and then I flew after Synthia. We followed the sound of the horn and soon found ourself at the city gate.
"What the...." I could here Tim mutter under his breath and his face paled a bit, infact all four of the priests faces paled and with good reason. Infront of us stood a small horde consisting mostly of imps but at the helm of the horde were four taller red skinned humanoids including the one blowing the horn.
