Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 258

"Oh, come on. They're not weak. You don't even know them," Kyle said.

"I don't care!" she shouted. "They're weak!"

Falk became a bit annoyed while Michael just furrowed his brows.

It seemed like Kyle hadn't exaggerated when he said that this new teammate would be unpleasant.

"Falk, why don't you show her?" Kyle asked. "Attack her. You can go all out."

"Are you sure?" Falk asked.

Kyle nodded. "Just stop when I tell you to."

Falk glanced at Lily.

"If you say so."

Then, without any more talk, Falk summoned his True Body and charged at Lily.

One of the golems left the group and charged right at Falk.

It was a bit slower, but it managed to intercept him.

Then, it struck forward.

Falk easily avoided-

Falk's eyes widened as the axe suddenly changed direction mid-swing.

It was coming right at him!

Falk activated his Time Slow and summoned an explosion of wind to put space between him and the golem.

Lily snorted. "That's only one of my golems. As expected, a weakling."

Falk just narrowed his eyes and charged at the golem again.

This time, he lured the golem into striking before avoiding the attack.

Then, he activated Air Drill and destroyed the golem's head with his spear.

The golem fell forward, and Falk went past-

BANG!

Falk managed to hold his spear to block the sudden swing of the falling golem.

The next moment, Falk was thrown into the distance.

The golem's physical power was higher than Falk's.

"Fool! These are golems, not animals!" Lily shouted with a laugh. "You have to hit their Core, and every golem has their Core in a different part of their body."

Falk had never fought a golem before.

As the golem charged at him again, Falk looked over at Lily, who was smirking smugly.

Falk charged forward again, and Wind Ether gathered around his spear.

Just when the golem struck, Falk suddenly thrust in the direction of Lily, and a Wind Arrow was fired right at her.

Lily's smirk didn't vanish.

The stony cat below Lily suddenly jumped up and swatted the Wind Arrow out of the air like a toy.

"What a foolish attempt," Lily laughed.

Falk kept fighting the golem.

"Is she a Swarmer?" Michael asked Kyle suddenly.

"Yep," Kyle answered.

"Those are illegal in tournaments," Michael commented.

"Yep."

"That means Falk is essentially fighting several people at the same time!" Michael said.

"Basically, yeah."

Beast Masters, and Artificers more so, were special when it came to power.

They could accumulate power before a fight.

With a lot of time, a Beast Master could capture over 50 Secondary Beasts and send them at an opponent.

Such a fight wasn't fair, obviously.

If a Beast Master were allowed to use that many beasts in a tournament, every single team would be comprised of them.

Just like Beast Masters, Artificers could create an army of minions and send them at the enemy.

Like this, it was possible to win against almost everyone at the same level and even against people a level higher.

But it needed a lot of accumulation.

Resources, planning, creating, and so on.

Lily had almost three Ether Gem's worth of golems, but she barely had any liquid funds.

If someone destroyed her golems, she would be helpless and poor.

In a way, Lily had the power of five Early Second Realm beings, but she couldn't recover in a fight.

One dead golem meant a permanent reduction in her power.

Creating golems cost a lot of money, and she needed her golems to make money.

Falk kept fighting the golem for over 30 more seconds while Lily was laughing in amusement.

BANG!

"Got it!" Falk shouted, destroying the Golem Core in the golem's abdomen.

Lily grew annoyed when she saw that.

She just lost several Ether Stones.
