To Sanders, neither the bird nor the female demon was a concern in terms of strength, but the identity of the female demon… made Sanders somewhat suspicious.
But since they were about to make a move, Sanders wouldn’t back down just because of any hesitation.
However, just as Sanders was preparing to face the coming battle, the female demon seemed to notice something, “Bandbone Gak, wait a moment.”
The forming tornadoes were disrupted by this call.
The bird called Bandbone Gak emitted a somewhat aggrieved chirp, but it did not catch the female demon’s attention, as all her focus was now on Angel.
Angel didn’t understand why she suddenly turned to look at him, and being the subject of her prolonged gaze made him uncomfortable all over.
Seeing this, Sanders wondered in his heart: Could it be that Angel had caught the attention of that being?
While Sanders was puzzled, the female demon finally spoke, and this time she addressed Angel, “Where did you acquire that scent of death on you?”
The scent of death? Sanders and Kanter looked at Angel with befuddled expressions. They had not sensed anything unusual about Angel, so what did this mean?
Angel was taken aback for a moment and didn’t react at first, but then something seemed to come to his mind.
Suddenly, a black feather appeared in his hand.
At the sight of this feather, the female demon’s pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly closed in on Angel!
But just as she was about to reach him, Sanders stretched out his hand, releasing ferocious energy that not only blocked her path but sent her flying dozens of meters.
Seeing the female demon knocked away, Bandbone Gak’s eyes flashed with blood, and its nostrils spewed a terrifying hot wind!
“Bandbone Gak, do not act,” the demoness commanded as she stood back up, casting a wary glance at Sanders. She hadn’t expected this human to be so powerful.
However, after giving Sanders a quick look, her gaze returned to Angel.
“Human, how did you come by that black feather?”
Angel: “Someone gave it to me.”
The expression of the female demon unchanged, she murmured softly, “His feathers are not physical and cannot fall off on their own. It seems this is the only explanation… but why would you give a human your feather?”
Angel naturally did not respond to the female demon’s murmurings, nor was he going to explain himself voluntarily.
But listening to the tone of her voice, could she possibly know Kulangduo?
“Human, how about we make a deal? You give me the black feather, and I will give you…”
Before the female demon could finish, Angel swiftly pocketed the black feather, not giving her a chance to continue. This item was too important to be lost; it was essential for fulfilling his agreement with Wodell.
Seeing this, the female demon’s lips stiffened.
After a long while, she spoke again, “Never mind then. Since he gave it to you, there must be a reason behind it. Today, out of respect for him, I will not hold you accountable.”
As she spoke, the female demon leaped atop Bandbone Gak’s skull and directed the bird to fly in another direction. Although Bandbone Gak was reluctant, it nodded and departed.
Even after the demoness and the bird had flown away, Angel’s face was still filled with confusion.
This incident was too strange—both their arrival and their departure were bizarre, weren’t they?
What were their origins?
But more than Angel’s confusion, Sanders and Kanter were even more perplexed—what was the origin of the black feather in Angel’s hand?
