Kefra was stunned as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A demon… helped humans?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kefra's body began trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a demon-hunter, Kefra had seen many demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never seen, nor heard, of a demon that would voluntarily help humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, she had received no prior mission.
