"I won, decisively!"
The three words from Mike's mouth left Maxen and the demon gods on the other end of the Magic Conch in stunned silence.
Three words that cost the demon gods 180,000 Lord merits!
The Fifth Demon God's voice came through again, "All-in."
Clearly, Thor wasn't going to provide them with any more information.
They might as well continue playing poker and figure out how to get someone else to kill him sooner!
...
After ending the call with Maxen, Mike looked at the All-American Boy version of Calderon and said, "As per our agreement, you get to set the rules for the next fight."
In fact, Mike was already prepared to forfeit the second match.
Fighting under the enemy's rules?
That's practically suicide!
Mike never did such things!
If Calderon said, "No magic allowed, just hand-to-hand combat for two hours," then Mike would undoubtedly be at a huge disadvantage.
