As Colin recounted what happened in the last few days, so did Sera in great detail, telling them about how the werewolves of City I has joined Colin's family, how they got past the reptile demons in City H and G, Colin's deal with the Bartus Guild and even how Colin reduced City E to ashes.
"We should kill that Demon while we have a chance." Castiel said when he heard the full report and everyone turned and looked at him. All of them were currently sitting around a table in the room where the [Holy Core] was being hosted. On the table, were three other [Holy Cores], belonging to the three other Angels.
"I mean, it's obvious that that Demon is gathering power and you've already seen how powerful that Demon is. Imagine what would happen if he has an army with him, or gets even stronger." Castiel said and two girls glared at him, while Mr. Ziek had his hand on his chin, thinking.
"You've raised a good point, but the Demon could have easily killed all of us if he wanted to with that explosion and he hasn't harmed Sera and safely guided her and the others back to City B with no casualties, when he could have abondoned them or worse, killed them himself. So I believe we can trust in this Demon's character....for now." Mr. Ziek said and Castiel snorted
"Now that's settled, there is another matter to discuss, did you manage to retrieve the cores in City I to C?" Sera asked
"Unfortunately we were never able to, I was barely able to get past City E, due to Flaming bees that lived their and only managed to wound their queen. We weren't able to get past City D due to the Leprauchauns who attacked us in the forest, their were multiple tier 4s among them and they had many cursed items and weapons to hold us off. We were forced to camp in the forest, and after a few days, Castiel caught up with us and we came up with a plan to use our respective affinities to fly the buses in the air and make our way to City B." Mr. Ziek explained
"Oh so that's how you got here." Synthia muttered.
"That's good then, now let's talk about how to proceed. The entire city and a good chunk of the forest surrounding us have been reduced to nothing, leaving only our [Holy Territory]. Although it would have been very tragic for most, this could actually be a blessing in disguise for us. Due to the recent battle, traces of the Corpse Lord's [Death Affinity] and Colin's [Hellfire Affinity] still lingers, which means that no beast or demons should attack the city for a while. We should use this opportunity to extend the [Holy Territory] over the entire City and rebuild." Sera said
"What about the rest of the [Holy Cores]?" Castiel asked
"We'll save them for now just in case we decide to occupy any more cities." Sera replied
"In that case, shouldn't we try and get the other cores in the other cities. You could try and convince your Demon friend to go and get them." Castiel said and turned to Synthia
"That would be quite helpful." Mr. Ziek commented
"He is not some kind of dog we can just order around, after what happened last time, I doubt he'll be leaving the city for a while." Synthia said, as she knew that Colin won't leave Alice alone for a while after what happened.
"You could still try." Mr. Ziek said and Synthia's right
"No she's right, it's not a good idea to piss him off, if he thinks we are treating him like some kind of dog then who knows what he will do." Sera said
"And how do you know that?" Castiel asked
"I used my [Unique Trait: Empathy] on him, from what I can tell, he won't hurt us unless we really piss him off. And for some reason, my followers seem to piss him off, a lot." Sera said
"Oh yeah, a few days before I asked him to go to City J, my followers tried to kill his friend Alice. He was really pissed off and almost killed them, if it weren't for my Saint, I most likely wouldn't have any priests right now." Synthia said
"I'd be too, I'm actually surprised that he didn't kill any of mine, either way, this should be all that we need to discuss. I'm going to my room to take a nap. Oh, before I go, here." Sera said and handed Mr. Ziek Dracos Black's diary, before walking away.
*******************************************
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, in Kyle's room, there was a small gathering of saints and a few priests, each from a different group of followers from under the four Angels. Among them were Sam as well as a few others from Sera's group, all of them were there to attend a secret meeting by Kyle, who used his [Sound Affinity] to make sure that no one outside the room could hear what was being said inside the room.
"Thank you all for coming, the reason we are all here is to discuss how to deal with the Demon threat known as Colin. All of us have seen how powerful he is and some of us have even experienced his tyranny for ourselves." Kyle said with hatred in his voice and Sam could be seen gritting his teeth.
"But what exactly can we do against him, that guy is too powerful." Someone said, visibly shaking.
"There is no need to be afraid, he is just a tier 4 demon, but that doesn't mean he is invincible. All we have to do is get one of the tier 4 Angels to fight him, while we assist and take care of his vampire girlfriend." Kyle said passionately, but the others still seemed skeptical, and even more scared
"But which one do we choose, and how do we get them to do it." Sam asked
"Don't worry, I'll tell you about that part of the plan when I figure it out. Listen, this might be dangerous, but it is necessary, the sooner we can get rid of that cursed demon, the safer you, your family and your friends will be. Oh and before I forget, don't tell anyone about this." Kyle said with a smile
