Nick also checked up on the Nightmen and the underground city.
By now, the number of Protectors had reached a thousand.
There were more Protectors in the underground city than in the entire world.
Sadly, almost all of them were only Initial Protectors.
There were only so many Fallen inside the city.
Suppressing hundreds of Demons didn't create any suspicion since there were so many of them, but there were not a lot of Fallen.
If almost all the Fallen vanished, someone was bound to notice.
A Protector in the underground city could only work with one Fallen for a couple of hours per week.
This was not enough to progress.
Yes, the Protectors had more potential than all the Protectors living on the surface since they consumed a Peak Elder, but that didn't help a lot.
Of course, that problem could be solved by allowing everyone to work with the Ice Maiden, but the Ice Maiden's existence was too important.
