Chapter 139 - Angel Meets Human 1

The building had a fence and a singular pedestrian gate in it through which one could get entrance. The window where Agbara oozed out from was the window that was built into the wall of the upper floor which also served as the wall for the compound as well. 

Just then, growls and snarls resounded off in the distance and Sunday frowned. He turned to the insides of the street, seeing the numerous demons that were far ahead of them. Some of the demons were even riding on the shoulders of some of the humans.

Sunday frowned, noting the ill luck that was oozing from the ones who were giving tiny impish demons a ride on their shoulders and backs. HE growled but then felt a nudge in his soul space. 

It was Bane. 'They are not disturbing you. It is better you don't disturb them as well. Just get on ahead to this Bolu human.' Bane warned Sunday, gesturing with a nod of his snout to the window. 

Sunday considered the words. He felt a bit of anger surging in him towards the way the demons were fixing themselves to the humans. It didn't seem right. 

He was coming from a place where he did not have that much freedom and whatnot for as much as he would have enjoyed it but down here, he realized that the situation was not any different even for the people of earth. 

The hierarchy was till in place and since the humans were weak and did not have ready access to Agbara, the demons who had access were simply using their lives anyhow. It was little wonder that he had been assigned to this Bolu girl.

Shr had had her own fair dose of the demon infiltration but eventually, she had gotten tired and as such prayed to the heavens. He was here as a result of that plus the confidence Maerius had put in him. 

Her story had been that she had been too much of a good person that it had opened an avenue for the demons to get in. 

This Bolu had been too much of a saint. She had cared about the wellbeing of others more than she cared about herself and her feelings. But she was happy, as long as she could help people, she was doubly satisfied. 

The issue that had even happened was that she had come in range with some human hoodlums who had beaten them silly in the hood. It was the school environment and she lived off campus. So, it was quite the norm to come in contact with cultists and people with devious reasons for being in school. And also those who felt that students were the best ones to seek a fraudulent means of income through or monetary scams. 

To top it all, Bolu had been fine with all of that. Strangely, she had been okay. However, when she finally decided she had had enough of all of that was when her best friend, Iyanu was also attacked and beaten enough to be admitted to the hospital. 

Iyanu had been comatose. Not responding to treatment and Bolu had snapped, finally. She went to her knees in prayers, challenging the heavens. And for the first time in a while, the spiritual essence that oozed out of her was enough to keep the demons away from her life, for the meantime. 

However, that did not quite meant they would not return. A human's connection to the spirit world, via spiritual essence, pure spiritual spirit essence was mostly when a person was in the mood of prayer. Or had gone passed the elementary landmark of prayer. Only then could such a person have high spiritual essence and as a result, be enlightened enough to see that which was beyond the ordinary.

But for those who could only attain that state via prayers, once the prayers were done, the demons often returned in full force. Staying away when such a person was enlightened, waiting for that person to become dull of the spirit. Ignorance was bliss, they say but in the case, an ignorant person would know nothing and as such treat the existence of these demons as mere fairytale. 

This was the current reason why they had not seen any demon around the building Bolu but rather, some distance apart. And from what he had learned from the briefing, Bolu had taken all the mishaps that happened to her as normal things. This meant that the demons could just easily return to mess with her life and yet, she would still be in the ignorant side. After all, the only thing she was praying for, was not even for herself but for the recovery of her best friend, Iyanu. 

He w=sighed, looking up to the window again. Once he left, the demons would return. But luckily, he had not just come here for Iyanu alone. He had been assigned to come cleanse Bolu. To cut off the markings of demons from her affairs. To do that on a permanent basis, it meant he was going to have to be around for a while.

The Third Prime had not exactly told him this. But he figured that being around here to cleanse her and then leave when he knew the demons would return eventually was going to be a waste of time. If not now, the demons would rerun a month or even a year after. 

"Enough thinking Sunday, lets get down to it.' Sunday said to himself.

He walked into the gate. His lack of solidity afforded him the ability to just simply walk through anything, at least for as long as he was on Earth. Practically, there would be no structure that would be able to restrain him. His heart fluttered at this thought. He was going to be just invincible. 

But then, he frowned, hsi face darkening. If this was the case for him, did that not mean the demons... 

"No, they cant just walk through buildings." Sunday said but stopped short as he gasped. 

To the left of him was a spiraling staircase built of concrete steps and metal railing that spoke of rust and age. Just after that, in the ground, in the wall was a demon. 

The demon's body as embedded into the wall, like it could also pass through the wall just like him. It did not notice Sunday or if it did, it chose to ignore him as its rounded head with numerous tiny horns glared upwards. He followed the glare of the demon, trailing the line of sight to the room that was up, just by the gate side. The same room where he had presumed Bolu to be in. 

He shivered at the thought of the malicious stare the demon was giving the room. Almost as if it was waiting for the perfect time to get in there to wreck havoc again. Sunday exhaled, suppressing the urge to go over to destroy it. 

Bane had told him to ignore them since they were ignoring him. Secondly, it was evening already. He was not sure if it would be wise to get into a fight that he was not sure of the duration. 

He could just as well get Bane involved in it, but his ego would not let him. And since he was not that strong enough, the fight was surely going to span out for long.

Also, Bane had mentioned the demoness he fought was not among the strong ones. If it took him that long to defeat a weak demoness, then he was sure not going to test his luck against a demon which could just be some much more powerful than the demoness he had fought. 

After all, of all the demons he had seen around, only this one was courageous to be within the area of Bolu's prayers. Even for it to comfortably glare at her room.

But then again, he was grateful for the fact that he was here and two of his questioning had been answered so far. 

Firstly, demons could also waft through surfaces like he had done. That meant he was not going to be as invincible as he had imagined. Secondly, this particular demon was just waiting for the prayers to be over so that the spiritual essence oozing out could die down. It was so furious that it had been waiting patiently. 

Most likely, for the duration of her prayers so far. All this implied that he could not just leave Bolu. No!

He'd have to stay, protect her because he was sure the round faced many horned demon would make its move after. The day was almost over and her prayers would cease soon. 

Combat with this demon was inevitable. He could not just leave outrightly. 

Sunday looked to Bane but didn't see the Wolf inside. He peered to the gate, his vision suddenly clearing as he saw everything behind the wall. 

"Wow." He exclaimed, happy at this. 

He rubbed the spatial ring as he began to climb up the stairs, hoping that everything he was going to need would be in it.

Everything!
