บท 279: I do it because I want to, not because I need a reason

Mike scrutinized the man before him.

The man was disheveled, resembling a prisoner in a death cell, with long hair falling over his face, casting shadows.

He was also scrutinizing Mike, trying to discern something from him.

"That hammer..."

The man's gaze fell on the Thunderclap Hammer at Mike's waist, his expression tightening, "I recognize that weapon."

Mike's expression stiffened.

This NPC, who called himself a 'sinner,' actually recognized the Thunderclap Hammer?

Mike himself hadn't figured out the origin of the Thunderclap Hammer.

According to what Shadow Nine had said, when Ares entered the Forest of Truth, the Thunderclap Hammer was already there.

And the Thunderclap Hammer was at least a weapon used by an Ultimate Lord.

There weren't many known Ultimate Lords among humans. The top powerhouses from the era before Ares were people like Shadow Nine and his peers!
