One month following the events with the others...

Even a month after the incident, the church from which Pandora and Marek had acquired the Lyraseri shard still burned. No more was the interior fortification, the furniture or any relics of value and or religion. All that was left of it was the skeletal frame that only now stood because the high temperatures of the flames held it together. The pyre dies, what remained of the church would go with it.

Then, again, there was something else that remained in perpetual ablaze, but unlike the basic structure, this one didn't stick around. The resident priestess who would ultimately meet her end there was the one who lead Pandora and Marek to finding that shard. And how did they repay her? Through rape, murder, and arseny. Her defiled dead body was then draped across a wooden stake as a flesh monument to the place that once was. Hot as the flames were, her body neither burned nor decayed beneath the blaze, but rather her spiritual affiliations and capabilities mixed with the malevolent demonic bonfire had served as a supernatural marker. To human eyes, one would only see a continuous burning fire of a holy building. However, to the darklings and new arrivals ascending from a world unknown to man, it was a marker for travel. The seal put upon herself before her untimely passing, her will coupled with the remaining residual chakra put forth by the priestess would work against the flames to break her down. As a result, the flames would burn higher and hotter, almost as if working to give itself a pressured vantage point to dissolve the holy woman's remains.

In any case, the church, it's priestess and the flames could be seen from nearly all directions and at any height. So with that thin veil separating man from demon being torn and the breach stretching ever more, the imps and lower tier demons were coming out to play and gravitating toward that very area, as well as all the areas and pockets of human life in between.

By now, any branch of commerce dealing with plants or botanicals would be in trouble. All across the board, the Earth's vegetation was dying and none of it was growing back. It also didn't help that for the past six weeks that no rain had befallen the terrain [this even includes Amegakure and the Ancient Rain Village]. As a result, the humans were not yet panicking but they were resorting to other methods. The mortality of livestock had more than tripled and with nothing to eat, they were given the same generic slop that was often fed to pigs and hogs. Naturally, farmers and other caretakers of animals had first resorted to feeding cows, chickens, and other livestock animals the final reserves of living hay and even dead hay but within a few weeks, that would run dry. Then next came feeding the animals pig's gruel. This, of course, was a bad decision as those animals would soon refuse eating and the meat harvested from creatures that either perished from starvation or slaughter would be placed lower in value than even pork. Because of this problem with no foreseeable solution, livestock was now being pulled from farms and ranches for immediate slaughter and long term storage.
