Strongest Hammer God - Chapter 592 Trial
BANG!
At that moment, three arrows from Swamp Dragon hit the exposed part of the lizard’s tail, a tiny moment before more metal washed over it to create more armor.
The lizard’s tail bulged as it released some kind of hiss.
Then, it vanished again, but this time, it reappeared in the air above Swamp Dragon.
It pointed its back at him and unleashed a flurry of spears.
The spears covered every space above Swamp Dragon, and he could only stand there and watch as they closed in on him.
Evasion was impossible.
That was when the gravity around Swamp Dragon intensified.
The spears changed their trajectories a bit and fell to the ground around him, forming a ring around his body.
Then, Warp Space fell over, unconscious.
She had overdrawn her Energy.
Kyle rapidly charged at the lizard.
The lizard knew that its tail was no longer working, and it used a lot of its Energy to regrow its spears.
Swamp Dragon jumped out of the ring of spears and narrowed his eyes.
A lot of Energy gathered around Kyle and entered his hammer.
Instead of creating a defense, Swamp Dragon had enchanted Kyle’s hammer again.
Kyle gritted his teeth and held his arm out to Swamp Dragon.
The spears shot at Swamp Dragon.
At that moment, a powerful burst of Yin-Wind hit Swamp Dragon.
Parts of his skin were torn off by the powerful burst.
BANG!
The spears hit the ground, but the burst of Yin-Wind had pushed Swamp Dragon out of their trajectory.
At that moment, Kyle reached the lizard again.
It opened its mouth, and several terrifying metallic teeth appeared.
Its mouth enlarged, and it chomped down.
CRACK!
Kyle’s hammer broke into pieces.
Luckily, it was only Kyle’s hammer that was in its maw since he had quickly stopped his advance.
Kyle rapidly retreated, pulling Warp Space’s body closer to him with more wind.
The lizard summoned more spears out of its body.
Then, it fired them directly at Kyle.
This time, Warp Space was not conscious to save him.
The spears hit Kyle.
CRACK!
And broke into pieces!
The spears had been corroded by Swamp Dragon’s power.
Not only was the lizard infected by the wound near the base of its tail, but the hammer it had just consumed had also contained Swamp Dragon’s poison.
The poison had spread through its body.
Naturally, beasts very quickly absorbed the Energy they swallowed, and this one had absorbed all of Swamp Dragon’s poison.
Due to that, Swamp Dragon’s poison had spread and infected all of its Energy Pathways and even its Beast Core.
As the lizard finally landed, its legs buckled, and it fell down.
The next moment, it started to convulse.
Its eyes turned into bright-red bubbles, and white pus streamed out of its open mouth and nostrils.
Finally, it stopped moving.
Kyle took a deep breath.
At that moment, Warp Space opened her eyes again.
BANG!
A powerful gravitational force hit Kyle’s chest as Warp Space jumped away in shock.
That was when her memories returned, and she quickly looked at the lizard.
BANG!
Kyle’s back hit the hard wall yet again, but Warp Space’s attack hadn’t been powerful enough to really injure him.
“You’re welcome, you know!” Kyle shouted from the ground beside the wall, not getting up.
Warp Space looked at the crumpled form of Kyle, and horror appeared in her eyes.
“I’m so sorry!” she shouted before putting her right hand over her mouth in shock.
“Yeah, yeah,” Kyle said, his body still lying on the ground, face down. “Why don’t we have a couple more battles?”
Swamp Dragon walked over to Warp Space. “Is everything alright?” he asked. “You’ve overdrawn your Energy.”
“Oh yeah,” Kyle grumbled. “Be worried about the girl. It’s not like I lost all my limbs several times.”
“I’m sure you can take it,” Swamp Dragon said.
“I’m fine,” Warp Space said before looking at the lizard. “We’ve succeeded?”
“Yes,” Swamp Dragon said. “It’s just a shame about your Momentum.”
The growth of Momentum was based on what the mind went through during the battle.
The more stress and danger there was in the battle, the better.
Yet, if someone lost, their Momentum would take a heavy hit.
Warp Space hadn’t lost, but her mind also hadn’t been conscious to realize the moment of their victory.
This meant that the accumulated stress, which would have turned into Momentum, just dissipated without a proper resolution.
In short, her Momentum neither increased nor decreased.
It just remained the same.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Swamp Dragon got another significant boost.
However, Warp Space’s actions weren’t without benefit.
Just now, she had willingly foregone her own benefits to save Swamp Dragon.
When they had shared the details of their powers, some suspicion had been awakened in Kyle and Swamp Dragon.
Could they really trust her?
These suspicions were gone now.
Even though Warp Space had lied, she had proven with her own actions that she was trustworthy.
The small rift had been fixed.
Also…
The reason they had fought this lizard wasn’t because of the True Battle it represented.
“We did it!” Warp Space shouted in excitement. “We got all three points!”
Kyle slowly sat up again.
“Points?” he asked.
Swamp Dragon pointed at one of the flames in the back of the room.
Earlier, this flame hadn’t been burning. It had just been an empty brazier.
Now, all three braziers in the back of the room were burning brightly.
“This is a trial,” Swamp Dragon said.
“Oh… Oh!” Kyle shouted as he realized what that meant.
The Array of Stars had created several trials on different planets.
The existence of these planets encouraged exploration and traveling through the world instead of just staying in a Law Well to comprehend a Law.
These trials were designed for entire teams, and if the team managed to get through the trial, they would get significant rewards.
Naturally, the rewards had to be tempting to even Fulfilled Transcendents aiming to become Unique Transcendents.
“Warp Space and I dealt with the first two parts of the trial, and we called you for the third part.”
“After our first battle, we unlocked the ability to leave this place alive.”
“After the second battle, we unlocked the rewards.”
“And our third battle increased the rewards.”
At that moment, a big gate at the end of the hall slowly opened.
Everyone looked over.
“The rules of the trial said that the rewards are tailor-made for our needs,” Warp Space said with excitement.
“There should be something in there for each of us!”
