No armor, no robe, no hood. A true angel hovered before Abel just like that. Abel could clearly see the body made of a white, hazy-yet-solid material, along with the wings formed from pure white light.
Izual simply hovered there. Abel could not sense any fluctuations of a soul from him, but in truth, Izual's soul still existed. Although there were no soul fluctuations, Abel knew for certain that Izual's soul was right before him.
