The male angel also put away his weapon, but still looked warily at Lynch standing at their feet.
"In that case, there's no problem. Since you weren't sent by those evil guys, we can rest assured." Lynch signaled his companions to lower their weapons. "We barely escaped with our lives from there."
"Evil things? What are you referring to?" the male angel immediately asked.
Caught the bait, Lynch thought with a smile. These angels are indeed wise and rational beings, but they have one flaw: they're "overly" hostile towards evil. Their arduous journey from the Celestial to the Material Realm could only be for two purposes: to guide exceptionally good souls or to eliminate strong evil beings. And they much prefer the second purpose over the first. Those Snake-men are just the targets they can clear.
