Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 – Coming Back

"He fucking exploded," Kyle said.

"I didn’t say you should say fucking!" Theodor shouted in Kyle’s ear.

Kyle didn’t answer.

"Exploded?" Samson asked.

"Yeah, he exploded while he was on my shoulder. Was crazy hot. Not in the sexual kind, of course. I’m talking more about the my-bones-were-black kind."

Samson looked at Kyle with some skepticism.

That was quite an unbelievable story.

As Samson looked at Kyle, he recognized some mannerisms.

This really seemed to be Kyle.

"How did you get so good at Sandspeak?" he asked.

"Dunno. Just came to me after the trial. I overheard some people talking in the city, and it just made sense," Kyle explained.

Samson scratched his chin with a frown. "If your mind was enhanced, that would make sense."

"What about the hammer?" Samson asked.

"I stole that from their armory. It’s great. I love this hammer!" Kyle answered.

"Can I take a look?" Samson asked.

"Sure, go ahead," Kyle said, handing the hammer to Samson.

As soon as the hammer entered Samson’s hands, his entire body almost fell forward.

He grabbed it with both hands and lifted it with some difficulty.

"That’s quite heavy," he said, throwing a glance at Kyle.

How did Kyle lift this hammer with one hand?

As he inspected the hammer, his eyebrows rose.

"This is not cheap," he said.

"Of course not!" Theodor shouted in Kyle’s mind. "Only I can make them! Mining weapons are a marvelous invention by the greatest Peak Master Artificer who has ever lived!"

Kyle decided not to repeat these words out loud.

"This hammer is a good start to repaying your debt," Samson said.

Kyle’s eyes widened. "Eh, I kind of need that."

"Yeah, well, you’ve been gone for over two weeks, and everyone’s been worried sick. Nervon is still out there searching for you. He’s certain that you are not dead," Samson said.

"Nervon is searching for me?" Kyle asked.

Samson nodded heavily. "He said that he refuses to believe that you died. He said you have the potential of a warrior. You managed to kill Old Betty. He is sure that you are still alive somewhere."

Kyle looked down at the table.

"I’m... sorry," he said. "I didn’t know."

"Be honest with me," Samson said. "Is there something you didn’t tell me?"

Kyle took a deep breath.

"Yes, I was out and about for a couple of days after escaping," Kyle admitted. "I saw a huge fish in a big lake to the south of here. Fucker ate me, but I just ate it back."

"Took me a couple of days to eat it."

Samson narrowed his eyes at Kyle. "I thought that something like this happened."

Kyle didn’t answer. _{freēwebnovel.com}

"You advanced another level, and something like that doesn’t happen when you undergo a ritual."

Kyle looked to the side. "Sorry. I was hungry."

Samson slowly stood up and walked around the table.

Then, he roughly shoved Kyle’s hammer to his chest.

"Vacation’s over. I expect you to work overtime," Samson said.

Kyle carried his hammer. "Thank you! I’m sorry!"

Samson just sighed.

Then, he put his hand on Kyle’s shoulder.

"You worried us. We thought you died," he said with a worried tone.

"I’m sorry," Kyle answered.

The next moment, Samson pulled out a small blue orb.

Kyle remembered this orb.

This orb would activate Kyle’s bracelet and give him tremendous pain.

For a while, Samson just looked at it.

"You know, during the two weeks you were missing, I could have used this orb. I don’t think you were outside its influence."

"But I didn’t."

"When a prisoner escapes, their responsible person is supposed to activate that orb to contain them."

Samson sighed again.

"Why didn’t you?" Kyle asked.

"Because I was convinced that you wouldn’t escape," Samson said. "I was sure that you wouldn’t renege on your debt."

Kyle felt guilty.

When he saw that everyone except Lancel was still there, he raised a brow.

"We got a customer?" he asked, looking at Kyle.

Tarren just sighed loudly.

"I owe you five beers," he said.

Nervon’s eyes brightened.

He knew what that meant.

Tarren just gestured to Kyle.

"He looks different, but, yep, sure is him."

"You wouldn’t believe what happened to him."

Nervon looked at Kyle with surprise.

Then, his eyes narrowed, and he approached Kyle.

BANG!

Nervon hit Kyle in the gut.

Nervon’s eyes widened when Kyle didn’t fall over.

Kyle’s body was surprisingly hard.

"Oh, ouch," Kyle said, noticing that he should act injured.

Nervon narrowed his eyes again.

"That one doesn’t count," he said.

In a fluid motion, Nervon pulled out his shield and rammed it into Kyle’s torso.

BANG!

Kyle was flung backward and landed on his ass.

Nervon was slower than him, but the movements had been so fluid and practiced that Kyle hadn’t seen them coming.

Kyle had to cough a bit as he recovered.

Meanwhile, Nervon just put his shield back.

"Training starts tomorrow!"

Then, he wordlessly left the Hunter Hall.

"Would you look at that," Tarren said with a rare smile. "Our big rock has a soft side."

"That was his soft side?" Kyle asked.

"Yep," Tarren answered.
