"Black Earl's intuition really hadn't been wrong. We actually hadn't encountered a single Demonic Beast."
After the group had traveled some distance farther without encountering any Demonic Beasts, even Kael, who had been somewhat uneasy, could not help but marvel.

One second Kael had been marveling at how they had not encountered any Demonic Beasts; the next, Demonic Beasts had appeared. Though everyone knew it was a coincidence, this was far too much of a "coincidence."
