The Devil's way of business

Chapter 14 : Hidden treasures

Karma kept eating as Lilith was amazed at the amount of food " Aren't you going to be too full ? " " You have no idea how hungry infernals are " "is this what you mean by young kids should eat to grow ?"

"No I was just feeling hungry you are much younger than me overall" " Aren't you supposed to be doing some work at this time of the day ? " " You are right but since Cain will only attack Rochester at night after we can locate his location I'll have to work on other things like getting that flaming sword . "

" You already guessed that the sword is the herald of war's weapon ? " " The reason for war is division and what does that better than a sword " " Well I did think the four horsemen were present before I just didn't think they were the real revelation because God's throne has yet to ascend the world "

Lilith takes a bite as Karma said " So you don't even know when the real revelation is ? " " Am I drunk right now ? " " No I didn't order any alcohol " 

Karma used his hands to grab a slab of meat as Lilith watched with a tired expression " I feel like I need therapy after watching my children nearly getting mauled " " Aren't they still alive ? " " Yes but you know it's in between watching a horror movie and real life "

" Hard to watch and with first-hand experience " Karma grabs a glass of avocado shake and continues eating " So got any recommendations ? "

" I'm not that weak to go to therapy because I didn't have parents not like other kids in the first place plus you still haven't given me the teachings of Nephalem " " I'm getting there " Karma smiled as he used the scroll Lilith .

The scroll dissolves after Karma claims Lilith's property and rank " Now all you have to do is follow me to where the Nephalem lives " " Sure I must have to undergo some kind of training in using two different forces "

Lilith sighs " but honestly I don't have much expectations for this " " you will have to though , the nephalem's are very powerful because they are the perfect balance between an angel and demon "

" Sounds like humans " " Yes but Nephalem has much earlier exposure you should know a sapling is easier to bend than a grown tree and so the Nephalem are better users of both grace and miasma " " and what is the benefit of having opposing forces ? Is it something like the yin and yang logic in evil there is good blabla ? "

Lilith takes a bit of food as she answers " Well it's like being able to use darkness and light at the same time , They are certainly stronger than the Nephilim " " The offspring of angel and humans ? " " Well yeah you can have a Nephilim as long as you don't become an angel or demon when you die "

Karma was surprised as he has been under the assumption that humans automatically become either angel or demons " So you don't automatically turn into a demon or angel ? "

" No not exactly but you can turn from an angel to a human the same may apply to a demon as long as they clear their angelic and demonic vestiges from their soul "

" Huh so angelic and demon vestiges have to do with your merits and grace " " Yeah Also you could say the same for Cambion offspring of demon and human " " Sounds a lot like those children of satan movies where they are used to open gateways to hell "

" Oh yeah Cambions can do that it highly depends on whether the human parent was a woman or man and whether they are in the living realm or haven't died " " I don't get what that means "

"Cambions born from a human woman while they have yet to die appear extremely human they are inherently evil by nature but some Cambions are raised well to not have that or somehow suppress it " " I guess good parenting does matter the most " " Yes why do you think my children are more well off on their own than the angels ? "
