"Well, this was quite surprising," Shin stood leisurely as he watched the ongoing battle in the distance.
He wanted to test Samael's abilities as well as his younger sister, Huahua, so he asked them if they wanted to fight these scouts that had been on their tail since they had left the town earlier.
Samael was quite eager to test his new skills along with his newly acquired equipment set. He was not satisfied with his performance during the earlier missions that he had gotten from the Church of the Sun and Moon. He might have fought during those missions, but he either did not perform well or failed to showcase his real capabilities, so he was still looking for an opportunity where he could test his current strength.
This suggestion from Shin came just at the right time. He also requested Shin not to get involved unless they were in real danger. He wanted to see his current limit while also trying to impress Shin with his skills.
