Ryu smiled and didn't seem to feel the fact that both Death Guards were Lord Demons. It seemed that his hesitance earlier was worth it. 

He hadn't sensed the Death Guards earlier, but that was because he wasn't looking for them. It had been a long while since he thought of Death Guards. 

Now that he thought even further, Valerius, the 16 year old youth he had battled in Martial God territory, almost certainly had a Death Guard as well. It was just that Ryu hadn't threatened the young man's life during the course of the battle, so he hadn't appeared. And, on top of that, it was likely that Valerius' Death Guard was even more powerful than these two Lord Demons because Valarius himself was an existence with far more potential than these two… 

At least on the surface. 

It was much harder for Ryu to gauge the age of a non-human creature. For all he knew, Ferouge and Luna were both 16 years old as well, or maybe even younger.
