Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 229 Power of Tomes

Initial Warrior!

Kyle remembered how Theodor had talked about Warriors.

In general, fighting a Warrior was rarely a good idea.

Warriors had it very difficult in the First Realm since they were inferior to basically everyone else.

They couldnʼt join any Guilds since they didnʼt have the strengthened Aspects necessary to do that job.

If one of them joined a Fighter Guild under the guise of an Adept, they wouldnʼt be able to properly work in a team or spar.

Anyone would notice that they didnʼt have strengthened bodies, and that would make things very difficult.

Because of that, Warriors, who actually managed to reach the Second Realm, had proved themselves in the past by advancing with so many disadvantages.

Of course, it was different for people with Aristocratʼs Bodies since they could essentially camouflage as anything.

ʼI mean, I didnʼt need to go through as many difficulties as them, but technically, I still am one.ʼ

Kyle looked around the room, intrigued by the new details.

There were tiny scratches in the Adamantium that he hadnʼt noticed when he had entered.

Obviously, Kyle wasnʼt nearly strong enough to create these, which meant that they had been there already. He just hadnʼt noticed them before.

ʼIt looks so clear. Thatʼs crazy,ʼ Kyle thought.

It was almost like his body could pick up much more information, and more importantly, his mind was strong enough to actually digest all of the information.

As Kyle looked around, he also felt like the room was part of his body.

Using his Ether on any part of his body was not difficult.

ʼWell, it feels like my body,ʼ Kyle thought.

The next moment, he touched the floor with his right index finger.

An instant later, a stream of Wind Ether came out of a spot on the ceiling.

ʼThis feels crazy,ʼ Kyle thought.

He remembered when he had talked to Selene about the Tomes.

The Spirit Tome sounded a bit weak.

Yeah, he could infuse the ground with his Ether, but what was the point of that?

But his opinion had quickly changed when he fought those Paladins.

Their explosions had been insanely annoying, and they didnʼt even have a lot of Ether.

The Paladins managed to stop Kyleʼs charge several times, making him vulnerable.

ʼBut compared to them, I can actually use a bunch of Ether,ʼ Kyle thought. ʼMy remote attacks can actually be dangerous.ʼ

ʼIt costs a bit of Ether to use my Ether from a distance, but not a lot.ʼ

The next moment, Kyle moved his left arm back and forth while looking at it.

He infused his mind with Ether, and the next second, his arm slowed down.

He was using the same amount of power, and his arm was still moving.

Yet, Kyle felt like time had slowed down.

He moved his arm far stronger to make it reach its old speed.

However, when his arm reached its maximum length, Kyle found it really difficult to stop it.

His body was being lifted off the ground, and he almost fell over.

ʼThatʼs freaky!ʼ Kyle thought, righting himself again.

ʼIt seems like Iʼm barely using any power, but Iʼm actually using all of my power.ʼ

ʼI guess the laws of physics donʼt change.ʼ

Naturally, this was Time Slow, the ability the Mental Tome gave him.

ʼI can use this to plan my next attack during a critical moment. I can slightly adjust the angle of my attack or analyze the way the enemy is trying to react.ʼ

ʼThis is insanely useful!ʼ

Next, Kyle closed his eyes and focused on his Center.

It was filled to the brim with liquid Ether.

ʼWait, was that always liquid? Pretty sure it was gas before,ʼ he thought. ʼI mean, If you compress more stuff into a limited space, the pressure should change the matterʼs state, right? High school physics, donʼt fail me now!ʼ

ʼBut wait. When I reach the Third Realm, will I just have a big block of Ether in my Center? How can I even make use of that? I mean, itʼs a block. Moving that block through my body is probably like passing a kidney stone. I heard that hurts a fuckton!ʼ

ʼOr maybe itʼs like taking a gigantic shit, but that also hurts a lot.ʼ

Kyle scratched the back of his head.

ʼAnyway.ʼ

The next moment, all of Kyleʼs Ether in his Center turned orange.

The level did not drop, but the liquid became less dense.

ʼTransforming all of my Ether cost me about 5%. In the past, this would have cost me like 30% or something like that.ʼ

Then, the Ether turned neutral again.

ʼOh, hey! Thatʼs neat! The transformation back doesnʼt use any Ether. That used to cost a bit of Ether before.ʼ

ʼIf I donʼt transform my Ether too much, I have far more Ether than before. I mean, Iʼm only using Elemental Ether unless Iʼm strengthening my body.ʼ

ʼI wonder…ʼ

Kyle looked at the ceiling again before his right hand was covered in Fire Ether.

Then, he hit the ground.

BANG!

A long stream of fire shot out of the ceiling…

ʼFucking shit!ʼ

Hitting Kyle directly in the face and pushing him over.

It didnʼt injure him at all since this was just normal Fire Ether without any techniques, but the force still pushed him back.

After calming down, Kyle grinned.

ʼThis is even better than that explosion, and I didnʼt even need to use a technique!ʼ

ʼJust my raw Ether is stronger than a Paladinʼs technique.ʼ

ʼThis is insane!ʼ

Kyle slowly stood up.

ʼNow, for the best part.ʼ

He put his right hand on his back and tapped it.

Then, he frowned.

ʼWhereʼs my hammer?ʼ

He searched with his Soul and found it quickly.

ʼOh!ʼ

He stretched his arm further and grabbed the end of its hilt.

Then, he pulled it out with one hand.

ʼSmall!ʼ

Kyleʼs gigantic hammer was the size of a one-handed mace.

The entire thing was about 180 centimeters long, but in Kyleʼs hands, it looked like it was only half as big.

It was just a big one-handed hammer or a small two-handed hammer.

”I assume this thing didnʼt shrink,” Kyle commented.

”Yes,” Theodor answered.

Kyle looked at the big door…

Which was not as big anymore.

”How big do you think I am?” Kyle asked.

”A bit more than three meters.”

”Thatʼs more than seven feet, right?” Kyle asked.

Theodor didnʼt dignify that with an answer.

”Enough with your self-absorbed musings,” Theodor said. ”We need to change your weapon.”
