'This might be a problem.' I thought after reading the description of Alice's race. It was obvious that I had to get her a blood supply and with the electricity gone in the city the blood bags will spoil sooner or later, but the ones she had should last her a while. But I had no idea how much blood she needed to drink, so I had no way to calculate how long until this aspect of her race becos an actual problem, which ans it would be best for to start thinking of solutions.
"Hey Alice, can you drink the blood of undeads?" I asked and her face imdiately contorted into one of disgust.
"Hell no." She answered. Well that's one potential solution gone and then I thought of sothing else.
"Can you drink the blood of a Demon?" I asked
"Demon?" She looked at puzzled and then I rembered she didn't know anything about Demons or Angels.
"Oh right, just like you, I used to be a human and then I got turned into a Fiend, then I turned into a Halfling and now I'm a Demon." I said, making her furrow her brows as she looked at .
"Wait, so does that an you evolved twice right?" She asked and I nodded.
"Is that why you can make fire appear in your hand, because you're a Demon?" She asked
"Yes, when I beca a Demon I got a skill called [Hell Fire Affinity] and that's how I can do this." I said and then created a fireball in my hand.
"Will I be able to do that if I evolve again?" She asked enthusiastically.
"Maybe, I'm not really sure." I said but my answer didn't dampen her mood in the slightest.
"We need to get you a more reliable source of blood but the blood bags should do for now. So grab a few and let's get out of here." I said, pointing at the cold storage room. Alice quickly got her bag and stuffed it full of blood bags before slinging it over her shoulders. After she did that, I transford into my Demon form and jumped out the window, flapping my wings gently to stay near the window. Alice jumped out next, after I spent a few minutes convincing her that I would catch her and that the fall from the second floor would more than likely only result in a sprained ankle. When she finally did jump out, I caught her in my hands and she wrapped her hands around tightly while closing her eyes tightly, making chuckle. I flapped my wings hard as I flew through the skies at very fast speed, making Alice cling to even tighter. I activated [Aura Vision] and flew around the city searching for Undeads but we only found destroyed buildings, abandoned vehicles and corpses….motionless ones. Not finding anything I decided to fly back to the mansion to talk to Synthia about Alice and hopefully she doesn't get angry and decide that two Demons so close to her Sanctuary were too much.

Synthia POV
"Where the fuck is Colin?" I wondered as I fired another orb of pale gold flas towards the horde of hungry Undeads from inside the [Holy Territory]. In front of the mansion was a horde of over a hundred Undead, that were acting strangely coordinated with each other given their nature. I didn't know why they were acting this way all of a sudden, and I didn't have the luxury to care at the mont considering the seriousness of the situation.
[You have slain a level 8 Undead. Your body cannot absorb demonic energy.]
[Your [Heavenly Fire] has purified an Undead.]
[The [Holy Territory] has rewarded you with 480 exp for slaying level 8 Undead. ]
[Your [Heavenly Fire] grows stronger]
Several of these notifications rang out in my mind as I shot more fireballs at the incoming horde. This was how Angels grew, at least on Earth, our bodies couldn't absorb demonic energy so we needed a [Holy Territory] to convert the demonic energy to holy energy and then give it to us as exp. We could also use a cultivation thod like the [Flas of Purification], but that takes too long and I currently don't have the luxury of ti.
*Boom*
Suddenly five large, black lines flew towards us, but the [Holy Territory] blocked the attack, causing it to shake violently. I didn't know what attacked the barrier but it was most certainly at least a tier 3, as they were the only ones with that level of control over their demonic energy to launch an attack like that, and obviously a Demon sub species. But since the humans couldn't fight Undeads yet, I couldn't head out to find whoever launched that attack, which ans I could only stay where I was and continue attacking from a distance. Even though the barrier prevents Demon species from entering by inflicting them with severe pain and eventually killing them, I don't think the barrier is strong enough yet to withstand a horde of tier 2s.
*Booom*
*Crack*
'Fuck.' Another attack crashed into the barrier, creating a small crack as the barrier trembled violently and a few Undeads managed to slip through but I quickly cut them down with my sword. An Undead broke through another part of the barrier and ran towards the humans, who were standing there screaming like a bunch of idiots. Seeing this, I gritted my teeth and threw my sword at the Undead, and the sword pierced into it's chest before golden fla erupted from it's chest, reducing it to ashes instantly.
*Scream*
So of the humans continued to scream even after I killed the Undead and I could only sigh, how did Colin put up with these guys for days? As a matter of fact, where is that little Demon?
*Boom*
The crack on the barrier widened as another attack impacted it.
"Everyone get inside the mansion!!!" I shouted and they didn't waste any ti before dashing into the mansion. There was a secondary barrier surrounding the mansion so if the first one breaks the second one should hold for a while. Now I had a choice to make should I go outside and try to hold them off as long as possible or should I stay here and continue attacking from a distance? I decided on the latter since I'll die if I go out there right now without back up and if I die then the humans were screwed. My eyes glowed yellow as I activated [Aura Vision] and searched for the bastard that has been attacking the barrier and sure enough I saw a large red aura, a distance away.
