*Crash*
"Ahhhh." Kirt groaned as he crashed heavily into the ground. He shakily got to his feet and coughed up some blood, and he dropped his spear as he fell to his knees.
"No more." Kirt said as Synthia floated towards him.
"After all that talk, you are simply going to give up now." She said, but Kirt didn't dare to reply. They had started training around three days ago, and they new angels were starting to regret having such powerful bodies. Over the course of three days, they have had their bones pulverized to dust, their limbs cut off, their affinities trained until they faint and fierce weapon training that left them with more cuts and bruises than they have had in their lives. They have also been cultivating hard, allowing a sharp rise in levels.
"Alright, we can take a break now. Head back to your room." Sera said as she flicked some blood off her blade.
"Yes ma'am." The seven new angels said in unison before quickly rushing off to their rooms.
"I swear those four are trying to kill us." Kate said
"No, they are trying to prepare us for what is ahead. You remember what happened to them a weak ago, they know that they can't protect us from everything. We need to be strong enough to protect ourselves." Roxy said
"But there methods are a bit too cruel, no." Mark said, as he held his side which had a deep wound.
"Yes, but you have to admit, there methods are effective. We would have never gotten this much stronger in this short amount of time, if we had stick to our usual training." Claire said as she checked her status.
Name: Claire
Race: Angel(Lesser)
Level: 5/15(1200 exp to next level)
LP: 340/340
HP: 34/34
Traits: [Holy Enchant], [Holy Arrows Creation], [Holy Fire Wheel]
Skills: [Regeneration], [Supernatural Physique], [Supernatural Senses], [Aura Vision], [Fire Affinity], [Blessing], [Heavenly Pact]
Each of them were taught a cultivation trait based on their affinities. Claire gained the [Holy Fire Wheel], Kirt gained [Divine Spark Assimilation], Roxy [Assimilating Blizzard], Tim and Kate learned [Holy Light Assimilation], Simon learned [Earth Particle Absorption] and finally Mark learned [Nature's Blessing]. Each cultivation trait was unique and works differently, but all of them were efficient. As they walked to their rooms, they got pitiful glares from the cultivators, ticking Kirt off a bit, but he chose not to do anything.

"Are you sure we aren't being too hard on them?" Synthia asked
"For a sharp blade to be forged, metal needs to be melted, hammered, shaped, refined and sharpened. If we want them to be as strong as possible as fast as possible. Then we need to break them down and allow them to heal." Mr. Ziek said
"Is that your bit of wisdom for the day?" Castiel asked and Mr. Ziek snorted
"Either way, we should probably commence our plan quickly. More demons will most likely come here soon." Sera said
"In the meantime, we should get as strong as possible as well. So, partner up." Synthia said and she partnered with Mr. Ziek while Sera partnered with Castiel. They battled against their partners for hours, with some restraint of course,causing sounds of metal clashing against metal to echo across city B. Meanwhile, the humans continued their training as usual. Most of them have started training in earnest once more after seven of their own were turned into angels. This has caused a rapid rise in the number of saints and a few of them have even managed to evolve into enlightened ones, tier 4 cultivators. They didn't gain any new skills, but their physical ability improved, the amount of DP and LP they had and they gained new abilities related to their affinities.
Even with the new evolution, their combat strength was still too negligible to be of any use in battle. They have considered turning more of them into Angels, but there were two problems. First, they still didn't trust them even with the [Heavenly Pact]. The second is that too many angels would put a strain on the [Holy Core], as it wouldn't be able to produce enough holy energy for them to cultivate at a meaningful speed. Which is why, they will wait until they reach tier 5 and gain their [Angelic Cores] before they do anything like that.
There was something they considered, an idea given to them by the soldiers that came with Sera. Guns. They could craft guns and use runes to enhance their strength, giving the cultivators a fighting chance.

"Haahaahaa." Sera panted heavily as she floated in the air, along with the other three angels. They were all exhausted after sparing for five hours straight, an impressive feat.
"I think that's enough for today." Castiel said as floated towards the ground exhausted.
"Yeah, let's head inside." Synthia said and they tiredly floated flew towards their rooms, when something heavily crashed into the ground beside them.
"Good afternoon, Angels." They heard a voice behind them and quickly turned around and they saw three true demons. Two of them were woman, wearing black dresses with a horn on each side of their heads, a tail and two black wings. One had short black hair and the other had long silver hair. The last member was a tall man with red , dressed in a white suit, with two pairs of black bat like wings on his back, a tail, two horns on the sides of his head and glaring red eyes.
"Fuck." Synthia cursed when she saw them
