"I... see you."
A massive demonic eye floated behind Michael, its deathly ray aimed at Mike. Between them were several students, all within the ray's attack range.
"Wind's Reach!"
A gentle breeze swept through, and before anyone could grasp what was happening, a roar echoed in their ears.
"Retreat!"
Mike instantly dashed to Michael's front, ready to intercept the ray while urging everyone else to flee. At this moment, he couldn't care less about revealing his identity. Saving lives was paramount.
Mike had numerous life-saving methods; even if the Fourth Demon God glanced at him, it would only cost him one life. But if others died, they would be truly dead!
Boom—
The black ray hadn't even fired before a withered hand pressed it back.
"Stand behind me, kid."
A shadowy figure floated in front of Mike, shielding him from the Fourth Demon God's gaze. Shadow Nine's raspy voice echoed.
"Attack!"
