"Oh, yea... Were they attempting to steal the souls of humans?" asked Alex, trying to recall their previous conversation.

"Yes, Master," confirmed Aureal. "Strong magic users have access to the demons' special brand of magic, which is distinct from other forms of magic. They are capable of taking the human soul, but only if the human is prepared to give it up. They will then provide a service of any kind in order to attract the attention of the human. People tend to be greedy. The pursuit of wealth and power is common. Some seek talent. Some seek vengeance on behalf of a family member or friend. Both the Demon of Pride and the Demon of Wrath that I battled back then were 'fishing' for the souls of humans."

Alex now understood why demons were so interested in human souls. "But what makes these souls so valuable?" he asked.

"The rarity of the soul is what makes it valuable," answered Aureal. "The more unique a soul, the more power it possesses. And demons will go to great lengths to obtain such souls, including stealing them from humans. That's why these glowing orbs are so sought after. They contain human souls, and demons will pay a high price to obtain them."

Alex felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to Aureal's words. "Sick..." he muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. "But why are these souls so valuable to demons? What can they be used for?"

Aureal's expression grew even graver as she answered his question. "They are an extremely valued product in this region. My best guess is that they are employed for anything useful here... They may possibly be put to use in alchemy, herbalism, spellcasting, and the creation of magical bombs... They can be utilised in countless ways."

"Countless ways?" Alex repeated, his voice tinged with fear.

"Yes," Aureal replied, her eyes fixed on the jars of glowing orbs. "Although every human soul possesses value, there are those that are considerably more potent than others. The Sinful Souls are located at the very bottom, and it is the simplest task to obtain them."

Alex's heart sank as he gazed at the jars, filled with an otherworldly light. He couldn't help but wonder how many souls were trapped inside them, and what kind of fate awaited them.

Aureal continued to educate Alex on the different types of souls that exist in the human world. "There are also things known as Virtuous Souls, which are the souls of holy men and women. However, a Virtuous Soul can come from the body of any individual who has a strong connection to the Seven Virtues while also maintaining a healthy distance from the Seven Sins," she explained.

Alex listened intently, fascinated by this new knowledge. "So, how difficult is it to obtain a Virtuous Soul?" he asked.

Aureal paused for a moment before answering, "It is much harder than obtaining a Sinful Soul, as these types of souls are not as common. The acquisition of a Soul of an Archmage is not quite as challenging as that of a Virtuous Soul, despite the fact that these souls are extremely strong and uncommon."

Alex nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "And what about Angelic Souls?" he inquired.

"Ahh, Angelic Souls are the rarest of them all," Aureal replied. "But demons would rather corrupt an angel into a fallen angel than steal their soul. Angels can be corrupted into fallen angels. Sinful Souls and Virtuous Souls are the most prevalent types, although there are other types as well."

Alex took a moment to absorb this information. It was all so fascinating yet unsettling at the same time. "It's amazing how much power a single soul can hold," he remarked.

"Yes, it's quite astonishing," Aureal agreed. "But it's also dangerous. Souls can be used for both good and evil purposes, and it's up to us demons to make the whatever choices."

Aureal also explained that to cautioned Alex that searching for lost souls in the human realm is a risky endeavor as angels and exorcists are always on the lookout for demons and will quickly destroy them if found.

She noted that not all demons are malicious, and only the most corrupt individuals are capable of stealing souls. Despite this, Alex acknowledged that demons who attempt to obtain human souls are indeed a major threat.

Aureal added that many of the palace staff members are kind and not all demons are evil. They had ample time before returning to the palace, so they decided to continue browsing through the market.

"Indeed, it's reassuring to know that not all demons have malicious intentions," Alex said. "It's unfortunate that some demons resort to such heinous deeds to gain power."

"But most of them do." Aureal added signify that they are just special cases.

Aureal said that to Alex that, "It's true that some demons are blinded by their greed and seek power at any cost. But not all of them are like that. Some of them just want to live peaceful lives and don't bother anyone."

Alex smiled at her. "I suppose it's not fair to judge all demons based on the actions of a few."

"Exactly," Aureal replied. "Let's go and explore some more. There's still much to see and learn."

"Yes, Master."

As they walked further, they stumbled upon a group of demons who had barricaded a street that was previously deserted. Upon seeing the group, Alex immediately recognized them as the demons that Zazie had defeated the day before.

Alex's heart began to race as he cautiously approached the group. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice shaking slightly.

One of the demons stepped forward and sneered, "Well, well, well... Look who it is. The whore from yesterday isn't with you this time, just this pretty little thing. Now I have the chance to kill you and take the girl for myself."

Alex tried to recall the name of the demon in charge but couldn't remember it. He could sense the demon's sarcasm and pitiful tone, which only served to fuel his anger.
