"These Angels of Gold and Silver do not actually intend to retreat completely. They merely witnessed the destructive power of the Primordial Core Weapon, and so they decided to pull back some of their weaker angels first.
"After all, they also don't want to increase their own casualties unnecessarily."
Daniel then lifted a finger toward the sky.
"The angels that are still hovering above us now… are the elites of their race, the ones who truly matter.
"And because of the laws of this world, the stronger the entity, the greater the restrictions it faces when attempting to descend onto the mortal plane.
"But make no mistake: once they are properly prepared, these angels can and will descend to the ground in their true forms."
