Strongest Hammer God Chapter 52 – Magma

"Ah! FUCKING ASSHOLES!" Kyle shouted as he jumped back, holding his left eye.

Blood was coming out of his eye, and it hurt like a motherfucker.

'Seriously, when will I stop getting cocky?! Whenever I get cocky, so shit happens! I really gotta repair my brain damage. Maybe more of those drugs- eh, stones will help.'

Kyle gritted his teeth as he glared at the golems with his healthy eye.

He grabbed his hamr in one hand and charged forward, protecting his eyes with his left forearm.

Several strikes hit him in the face, including his teeth, which also hurt a lot.

BOOOOM!

Kyle swung his hamr, and the three golems at the front were splattered across the cave.

He continued swinging his hamr, spinning once.

BANG!

But several swords poked him at the sa spot in his back.

Kyle lost his balance and fell over.

Before the golems could follow up with more attacks, he scrambled away.

'Stop it! No spins! No fancy maneuvers! Just strike them!' Kyle shouted at himself in his mind.

Sothing deep inside of Kyle complained.

'But that's boring.'

'No! Bad brain!' Kyle shouted at the intrusive thought.

Then, he charged forward again.

Several swords poked him, but this ti, he just swung his hamr back and forth.

BANG!

Three golems exploded into pieces before another four exploded.

BOOOM!

The last five golems were picked up by Kyle's hamr and thrown across the room, their bodies exploding when they hit one of the walls.

Kyle quickly looked around and found a couple of partially assembled golems trying to stand up.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

He destroyed the golems, and finally, there was silence.

Kyle took a deep breath in frustration.

'Seriously, if I didn't have such a powerful body, I would have died. The only reason why I'm still alive is because it's almost impossible for them to hurt .'

Kyle hit his head a couple of tis. 'Stupid idiot! Be smarter! Stop playing with your life all the ti!'

A mont later, one of the walls opened, but before Kyle continued, he grabbed so of the Golem Cores and consud them.

His eye had already regrown, but Kyle wanted to get as much energy as he could.

"Alright!" he shouted, cleaning his mouth with his sleeve. "Let's move on!"

Kyle ran through the next tunnel, and yet again, he was put before a choice.

He saw more Spirit Spring Ore in one tunnel and imdiately ruled that tunnel out.

The other one was covered with Sole Fla Ore.

'Sole Fla Ore mostly grows in hot areas that are adjacent to lava or natural gas.'

'Well, I don't really have a choice.'

Kyle walked down the tunnel with the Sole Fla Ore, and yet again, the wall behind him closed.

Instead of continuing, Kyle ramd his hamr into the Sole Fla Ore.

The Ether inside the ore vanished, and Kyle continued to the next one.

After absorbing all the Sole Fla Ore, his hamr had beco a bit heavier.

'I can still swing it with one hand, but it's not as easy anymore. But that's a good thing. I want it to be heavy enough that I have to use both hands! A good hamr must have so oomph to it!'

As he continued going down the tunnel, he reached a hot lake made of magma.

'That looks... hot,' Kyle thought, looking at the brightly shining lake.

On the other side of the lake was another tunnel.

'Probably the exit. So, you're saying I have to get over there sohow.'

'Bit far, innit?' he thought, looking at the other side, which was about twenty ters away.

'I could try jumping, but I'm not sure if I can jump that far. Also, if I slip, I'm just fucked.'

Kyle scratched his head before crouching down and extending his hand towards the magma.

Maybe it wasn't that hot?

As Kyle's hand ca closer, it ward quite a bit.

Just being near the magma was already hotter than being inside the fla of the fourth trial.

When Kyle's finger touched the magma, he imdiately pulled it back.

"Ouch! Fuck, that's hot!" he shouted, quickly rubbing his hand against his clothing.

BANG!

While Kyle was dealing with his finger, a big hand made of magma stretched out of the lake!

The hand grabbed Kyle's left arm, which started to burst into flas.

In a panic, Kyle just swung his hamr at the arm.

CRK!

The pick of the hamr ramd into the arm as it tried to pull him into the magma.

Kyle fought against the pull as well as he could, but the pull was strong!

However, a mont later, his hamr began to shine, and the pull weakened.

The next mont, a maw filled with magma teeth appeared in the lake of magma.

It released a voiceless scream.

And then... it dispersed.

Kyle quickly pulled his hand out of the grip and jumped back.

"Whoa, whoa!" he shouted as his hamr pulled him further back.

Kyle used both of his arms to steady the hamr and looked at it with surprise.

Then, he looked back at the quiet lake of magma.

'Was that so kind of ore or ore creature?' he thought.

He looked back at his heavy hamr.

'My hamr absorbed a lot of Ether just now and beca quite heavy. I don't think I can swing it with one hand anymore.'

'Also, what the fuck was that thing?!'

The burns on Kyle's wrist had already healed by now, and he just looked wearily at the lake.

"Wait a second," he said.

'Did the magma beco dimr?'

Kyle watched for a minute, and sure enough, he saw the magma slowly darkening.

He carefully moved his arm to the magma and touched it.

It was still quite hot, but it wasn't as hot as earlier.

'Huh, guess it was that weird ore creature that made this magma lake.'

Kyle waited for around ten minutes.

The magma was still way too hot for any normal human to withstand, but Kyle was not a normal human.

He carefully stepped onto the surface and didn't sink.

His feet felt like they were barefoot in the desert, but as long as he walked quickly, it would be fine for a while.

The next mont, he quickly tip-toed over the magma lake and reached the other side without any incidents.

He threw one last glance at the dark lake of magma.

'Well, ti to continue.'
