Chapter 251 'Vistors' from the house of Pride

"What do you want demon?" Sera asked, putting on a strong front, but internally she was shaken. The appearance of a tier 5 at a time like this could spell death for all of them, and the demons could sense their fear.

"My name is Askalad of the house of pride. And I am looking for a certain true demon, an associate of yours. He recently created his own family." Askalad said with a smile and all of them knew who he was talking about.

"He isn't here." Sera said

"That much is obvious. So where is he?" He asked

"We don't know." She replied and his face changed. His aura flared and they could see a thick, red energy emerge from his body and started to spread over the top of the [Holy Territory], causing sparks to fly. Both energies opposed each other and clashed, until ultimately, the demon's aura was pushed back. Which made Askalad frown.

'It's a good thing we reinforced the [Holy Territory] so much. It should be strong enough to keep them out for a while, but I doubt they would try and enter knowing how much pain they will be in. But, we should avoid a fight as much as possible.' Synthia thought

"Look, we cut our ties with the Demon. He tried to kill us a week ago and we haven't seen him since. If you don't believe us, then check our status." Synthia said and Askalad abliged.

"[Hellfire Resistance], hmm. So this demon has [Hellfire Affinity], thank you for the information. It seems you were being truthful, and I will spare you destruction...for now. Once we have eliminated that insolent demon, you will be next. Until then." He said with a smile before leaving along with the two women.

"That prick." Castiel said

"It seems the house of pride has made their way to Earth. We need to accelerate our plans before the other houses come here as well." Mr. Ziek said

"Yes, but we can't rush too much. Haste makes waste after all. First we are gonna need to craft weapons so we need to seize that mountain. We should hold a meeting." Synthia suggested and the others agreed. They used [Telepathy] to send a message to Claire and the others, rousing them from their sleep. They left some of the humans to keep watch outside and make inform them if the demons come back. The eleven of them sat around the table, with the new angels looking exhausted and still a little bruised.

"Alright, we called all of you here because we got an unwelcome visitor today. Three true demons from the house of pride." Mr. Ziek informed them

"True demons? You mean the same species of demon as Colin." Claire asked and Mr. Ziek nodded his head

"Really, what tier were they?" Kirt asked

"One was tier 5 and the other two were tier 4s." Sera replied and the seven of them looked at her in shock

"Tier 5, I thought you said that tier fives couldn't cross through over from the underworld." Simon said, looking over at Synthia

"I thought that, but it seems the dimensional barrier has become more unstable in the last few days." Synthia sighed, as she could feel just how dire the situation was. They were wholly unprepared to deal with tier 5 demons and whatever creatures resided in the underworld. And if they start pouring out from the underworld like a geyser, then they were finished.

"Do we by any chance know where they are based? It is possible that those three are not the only ones that crossed over?" Mark asked and Sera smiled

"We don't know for sure and it is too dangerous to send someone to scout, but there is still a way." Sera said and a golden spy glass with runes etched into it appeared in her hands.

"This is a spy glass I carried with me from Heaven. It has two modes, one allows you to see clusters of aura while the other allows you to see normally. Just pour your holy energy into it and it will create lenses that will increase the range of your sight. Be careful not to drop it, that's my only one after all." Sera said and Mark took the spy glass before heading outside.

"Now then, we are going to accelerate our plans a bit. We need to take that mountain as quickly as possible, we need the resources inside. So, as soon as Mark reports back, we can plan when to start." Sera said and a few minutes later

[M-ma'am, I think you need to s-see this.] Mark said nervously to all of them through [Telepathy]

[We are on our way.] Sera said and all of them exited the mansion. They flew into the sky where Mark was using the spy glass to look in a specific direction while trembling nervously. The spy glass had two translucent golden screens infront of it's lens, enhancing Mark's sight.

"What is it?" Sera asked and he simply handed her the spy glass. She used it to look in the direction Mark was looking in and she instantly tensed.

"What is it Sera?" Synthia asked and Sera extended the spy glass even more, before twisting the tube. A large golden screen was projected from the spy glass displaying what Sera could see. All of them tensed when they saw what Sera could see and they all understood Mark's reaction. Around 100 kilometers away, near K town, a horde of over a hundred different demons could be seen. High Imps, High Orcs, vampires and even a few Arachnids could be seen and at the head of that horde were Askalad and the two female Demon Nobles.

"That's a fucking horde." Synthia almost shouted

"More like a war band. With that many demons, they are more than prepared to take on a small family like Colin's." Sera said and she noted that all of the horde was made up of tier 4 at the very least.

"The good thing is that they are leaving. It gives us time to prepare." Mr. Ziek said

"What kind of preparation would help us against a horde of that size?" Kirt said, while trembling slightly

"Tomorrow, we leave to capture the mountain tomorrow. The quicker we seize it, the more time we have to create weapons and whatever else we need." Synthia said

"We should also set up some more forges." Mr. Ziek said

"Agreed." Synthia said
