"Thanks!"
Kaido felt as though he had found a treasure.
Just as he acquired this weapon, left here by some unknown person and tempered by channeling lightning strikes through wood and into the blade to produce outer spikes as hard as thunder god wood, Shane rubbed his belly and let out a satisfied burp.
"I haven't slept in ages. Good night."
