Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 158

Its maw was no longer a maw since the entire ceiling was missing.

That derpy salamander actually blew a crater that was about three meters wide into the worm's face!

'Dude, what? I can't do that!' Kyle thought. 'I thought I could deal a ton of damage with my hammer, but that's just ridiculous!'

"That's a Skinner Salamander," Theodor commented. "There are not many beasts that are stronger in the First Realm."

Kyle watched the worm thrashing around chaotically.

"Don't even think about it," Theodor commented. "You can't kill that. Even with the Beast Tamer helping you."

"Colossuses have brains all over their body. You would need to destroy half of its body to kill it, and the Skinner Salamander doesn't have that much Ether. Its strikes are powerful, but they need long preparation time and cost a lot of Ether."

The next second, Kyle saw the Colossus digging into the ground again.

And then…

It fucked off.

"Are you okay?" Selene asked with worry as Skweera approached. "I must apologize for my slow reaction. I didn't think there actually was a Colossus there."

"Huh? Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," Kyle answered. "Also, I'm pretty sure I told you there was one."

Selene became a bit red in the face. "Yes, I know. I apologize. It won't happen again."

Kyle looked with confusion and concern at Selene.

'What's up with her?' he thought.

"Well, as long as it doesn't happen again, sure," Kyle commented.

"Thank you," Selene spoke with embarrassment.

Right now, Selene wasn't embarrassed because of Kyle's lies but because of herself.

She hadn't believed in Kyle, and that had endangered his life.

'I should have been ready!' she shouted at herself in her mind.

Meanwhile, Skweera was walking to the pieces of flesh that had been blasted off the worm and started to eat them.

"Leave some for me!" Kyle shouted as he also started to chow down.

As he ate the first piece, he furrowed his brows.

'Bland. It's not bad. It's just… bland. It tastes like nothing.'

Luckily, there was enough meat for Skweera and Kyle.

When they were done eating, Kyle looked at Skweera and Selene.

"So, yeah… that was… something," he said.

Selene nodded. "Skinner Salamanders have incredible destructive powers, but they are slow and need a lot of preparation time. That's why I need a Shouter."

"If I were on my own, Skweera might not be able to prepare an attack in time."

"Huh," Kyle uttered as he looked at the derpy salamander.

'We got artillery now,' he thought. 'This thing is like a mortar or something. Scary.'

"We should continue," Selene said. "Where's the Peak Beast specimen?"

"Oh, right!" Kyle shouted before he started coughing.

"About 200 meters in that direction," he said as he ran in the indicated direction.

Selene looked with a complex expression at Kyle.

He really didn't look confident, and it really seemed like he was lying.

Yet, he had been right every time so far.

In the end, Selene decided to believe in Kyle.

The two of them continued traveling for about 200 meters before Kyle stopped.

"And here it is," Kyle said, stopping in front of a random spot.

Selene couldn't see any signs of beast activity in the area.

"How do you know?" she asked.

"Eh, trade secret," Kyle answered.

In truth, Theodor had used Colossuses before to dig out the gigantic cave his city was in, and he had experimented a lot with them.

He could tell where the specimens were just by looking at the patterns in the sand.

"Specimens?" Kyle coughed into his arm. "Shouldn't it be specimen?"
