Albert guided them to their destination, but Perseus noticed something odd.
"This is the remains of one of the buries, isn't it?" Perseus asked
The place they were at was being reconstructed, but it wasn't just a regular plot of land, he can tell since there were scorch marks on the ground and he can see a little bit of remains left of the houses that used to be there.
The houses from the buries has thinner and weaker materials since people there can't afford any better materials, but some of the walls still remained despite how little they were left, he can see blood stains on the walls reminding him of the attack.
The only few buries that remains are the ones that is doing labor work for the nation for a very cheap price. But this one have been destroyed and is being rebuild anew.
"Of course, the barrier between the 2 worlds are weaker here, we have some in the kingdom that are much safer and better, but those are for higher ups only, so we'll have to make do with this" Albert answered "But don't worry, there will be people to guide you from the other side to your place of stay, you do not have to worry, you only have worry when you leave your inn and explore the demon world on your own"
"Is there even a plan to build a cemetery here for the dead?" Ace asked "Or at least some sort of memorial for the dead people that used to live here?
"Well yes, but not for the people who were apart of the buries, the cemetery will only hold the bodies of purebloods, you would say" Albert replied as he guide them to their destination "This will later be claimed by Artia, so reminding the future citizens that it used to be the buries would only lower the property value"
Perseus just gritted his teeth and said nothing. But at the same time, he thought about where he used to live, it's probably going to be rebuilt too.
They arrive at a gathering spot, there were several small guilds like theirs gathered at the site for the same purpose of visiting the buries.
*****
Once everyone was gathered, they started some sort of ritual. There was this large rune circle like when people get their arcana awakened, arcana from several people were injected to power it up. Cracks then started to appear in the air, little by little, it expanded and it didn't take long for a circular doorway appear in place of the crack.
Each guilds or individual adventurers entered one by one, on the other side was the demon world, they were greeted by the demons who were supposed to be their guides all looks so different, some had red skin, some had pale skin, some had tails, some had wings and all sorts of different features.
"He has 4 arms, cool" Cordelia pointed to one of the demons
"I like that one better" Elliot joined in and pointed at a guy with 4 large black wings on his back
But Perseus wasn't focusing on that, their guides, their presence was different, he felt a great chill just by being near them. Albert's presence is calming and soothing, their strength isn't as strong as his but it gave him a chill despite them welcoming them with enthusiastic faces .
< If a demon and a human of the same tier fought, a demon would definitely come out on top > Perseus thought < I can't imagine how strong their strongest soldier is, Damon and Diana claimed it themselves that even though they are strong even compared to their average angels and demons, they are far from claiming the title of strongest >

"Urie, you felt that?" A handsome man asked "The presence of the guardian, he or she has arrived, it's faint but it's like how the book described it"
He was handsome man dressed in a fancy modern suit, 180 cm tall, looked to be in his early 20s, grey hair and red eyes. He looks similar to a human but has teeth of only fangs. He was looking out the window at the view of the demon world.
"Yes, I have, I can even pin down of the vague location of it" Urie replied "Wanna go check it out, Draven?"
Unlike Draven, he didn't wear fancy clothing, he wore a Hawaiian shirt, black shorts and flip flops. He is about 182cm tall, has red hair, red eyes and fangs in his rows of teeth like a vampire.
"Well I got nothing better to do, so I'll go check it out, but no killing" Draven warned
"I know, but if we feel it, a few of the others must have felt it as well and unlike us, they would want to get their hands on the key" Urie chuckled "They don't want the angels to get it first"
"Well we'll just meet the guardian and see how powerful they are, we'll also keep the others away, if need be, we'll just use your identity and keep them at bay to prevent us clashing" Draven suggested
"I'm always showing my face anyway, it's be stupid for them to start a fight" Urie laughed

"The guides were nice but man, the other demons despite saying nice things, their faces were faces of disgust" Elliot commented "They really do look down on us as inferior beings"
"Well I hate to say it, but we are" Dabria sighs "Even those guides of ours were strong"
"How are your rooms?" Nova asked
"It was nice" Perseus answered "And plus we get free meals, this is great, I'll just order the most expensive meals and make the adventurers' guild pay for it"
"Yeah, order lots for us too" Ace added
"Let's explore the city first" Nova said "We can't waste our trip here after all"
But as they tried to leave their inn, Urie and Draven walked in.
"There you are" Urie greeted Perseus "Just the person we were looking for, took shorter than we expected"
"Do I know you?" Perseus asked cautiously
