"Shadow Nine, you finally made it! I've missed you so much!" Mike's words were genuine, without a hint of pretense.
Without Shadow Nine around, Mike's safety was never guaranteed.
Shadow Nine ignored Mike's greeting and instead directed a wisp of black mist to press down on Nightmare's Breeze and the Thunderclap Hammer.
The two pieces of equipment instantly calmed down.
Shadow Nine coldly remarked, "A few days without supervision, and you've grown bold. Not only did you help Shadow Ten level up, but you also brought the Thunderclap Hammer to Ares."
Mike sheepishly scratched his head and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, but it wasn't just my doing..."
"Compliment my ass!"
Shadow Nine scolded, "I told you before, when Ares chose a sword as his weapon, he didn't take the Thunderclap Hammer. The Hammer felt insulted and has been holding a grudge against Ares. Can't you think before you act?"
