Mike didn't watch the rain of lightning for long.
With the dust settling from the battle, he had much to reflect on. Moreover, learning about the Supreme Demon God's level 2000 strength had reignited his motivation to grow stronger.
Even with the extra ten years Shadow Nine had secured for him, Mike knew he'd have to face the Supreme Demon God head-on in no more than forty years. Of course, if there was a chance to take down the Supreme Demon God sooner by joining forces, Mike was all for it.
Returning to his dorm, a burly man adorned with bone ornaments had been waiting for a while.
"Fourth Bro, morning."
"Shadow Three, morning."
Their greetings lacked any real warmth.
Mike pulled up two stools, gesturing for Shadow Three to sit. "Shadow Nine sent you to protect me, didn't he give any specific instructions?"
Shadow Three nodded, "He did."
Mike was earnest, "I'd like to hear them."
