Strongest Hammer God - Chapter 680 Perception
Kyle quickly dug into the ice mantis’ body and retrieved its Beast Core.
Surprisingly, getting the Beast Core was more difficult than killing it.
Swamp Dragon’s and Manny’s shock vanished as they noticed a Level Ten Primal Beast charging towards them.
It was a huge bird.
Manny activated his Complex Law, and Swamp Dragon readied the most powerful arrow he could create.
He fired.
BANG!
And the arrow perfectly hit one of its eyes.
Naturally, Manny just made it seem like they hadn’t noticed it, which was why it had simply continued charging at them.
Swamp Dragon’s poison spread through the bird’s body, but it would take a bit to corrode its mind.
“If you need help, tell me,” Kyle transmitted as he charged towards his next target.
Swamp Dragon remained silent as he focused on the bird.
He was not sure how Kyle had suddenly become so powerful, but he decided to let him do his thing.
They could still talk about it afterwards.
Meanwhile, Kyle charged towards a different bird.
This was also a Level Eleven Primal Beast, and it noticed him relatively quickly.
Its feathers turned earthen, and it flapped its wings forward.
A tremendous storm of stony feathers shot at Kyle.
Their speed was surprisingly fast, and yet…
All of them missed.
Kyle had simply gone through the obvious opening.
The bird launched several more volleys, but all of them missed Kyle.
Finally, Kyle reached the bird, and it pecked at him.
Kyle had seen the attack coming, but it was a bit too big and fast.
CRK!
Kyle’s legs exploded while his torso and hammer grew.
Then, he simply swung his hammer and hit the bird’s extended neck.
CRK!
Its skin and feathers broke, but the wound wasn’t very deep.
And yet…
The bird lost all its strength, and its body started to fall.
‘Whatcha gonna do?’ Kyle thought as he saw his destroyed legs. ‘There were no openings, and its beak was simply too big and fast to properly avoid.’
Kyle retrieved the Beast Core of this beast as well before searching for his next target.
“We need assistance!” Swamp Dragon transmitted via his Communicator.
Kyle looked back and saw several beasts fighting around them.
The attacks were chaotic, and even though none of the attacks were aimed at the two of them, there were a couple of attacks that accidentally flew towards them.
Kyle charged towards his team, even though he was a bit confused.
‘Like, just dodge?’ he thought.
As he reached his team, he easily weaved through the attacks and killed one beast after the other with ease.
Within just a couple of seconds, all the surrounding beasts were dead, and Kyle harvested the Beast Cores.
Swamp Dragon just kept looking at Kyle in shock.
What was going on?!
How was he killing all of these powerful beasts with such ease?!
Yes, his physical power had increased by quite a bit, but he was still much weaker than most of the beasts.
He was not using any new Laws from what Swamp Dragon could tell, and his Complex Law also hadn’t changed.
In fact, Kyle wasn’t even using his Momentum.
But then, why was he so powerful?!
“It solidified in the Hell Dimension,” Kyle transmitted as he felt the Energy around him become oppressive and ‘angry’. “We still got plenty of time!”
‘How does he know that?!’ Swamp Dragon thought. ‘The Energy doesn’t feel any different!’
However, Swamp Dragon decided to believe Kyle anyway.
Kyle quickly charged to his next target.
Over the next minute, Kyle killed over 20 powerful beasts, while Manny and Swamp Dragon dealt with four.
At that point, they became besieged by beasts again, and Kyle returned to deal with them.
Another minute later…
“It solidified in the Immortal Dimension,” Kyle transmitted as he felt the Energy Density shoot through the roof.
This time, even Swamp Dragon noticed the difference.
“Still got some time to kill,” Kyle transmitted with a laugh, amused by his joke.
“We’re causing too much chaos,” Swamp Dragon transmitted. “We will soon attract Level Twelve Primal Beasts and Crusher Beasts.”
“I’m avoiding those,” Kyle said. “I’ve seen a bunch of them, but I’m not killing anything close to them. Still safe. I’ll tell you when it gets dangerous.”
Swamp Dragon became nervous, while Manny just smiled with excitement.
“Wait a sec! Be right back!” Kyle transmitted as he suddenly shot towards the ground.
A moment later, he struck the ground, and a huge hole appeared.
In the middle of the hole was a powerful ore vein.
With a smile, Kyle approached the ore vein and hit it with his pick.
CRK!
The ore vein cleanly split in two.
Three more strikes, and it was split into pieces that Kyle could stash in his Soul Space.
‘Lucky! Lower Crusher Material! Even more, it’s hard but brittle. Useless for equipment, but it’s probably worth something.’
As Kyle flew into the sky again, he suddenly stopped.
Just now, he felt the Elemental Energy in the surroundings intensify. The Planet had solidified in the Elemental Dimension.
Yet, this was not why he had stopped.
As the dense Elemental Energy washed over the surroundings, Kyle’s eyes glazed over.
The way the Energy moved was so… strange.
But it also made sense.
‘Why did I never notice that before?’ he thought.
At that moment, all the movement of the Energy made sense.
To Kyle, it was just logical how it moved.
That was when Kyle’s eyes widened.
A bunch of concepts appeared in his mind.
These concepts were things that he had never consciously thought about, but knew regardless.
The things he was feeling were translated into concept, and his conscious mind finally realized what was going on.
‘Oh! I get it!’
BOOOOM!
The Energy around Kyle shook as he finally understood something.
‘Was that the thing I was working towards?’ Kyle thought with uncertainty.
‘I don’t think so,’ he thought.
Kyle had not comprehended a Fragment.
No, the thing he had comprehended was an entire Law.
‘It doesn’t feel right. I feel like I still don’t have the thing that I’m supposed to get.’
‘Guess I just comprehended this thing while trying to comprehend something completely different.’
“Meteor Hammer! Help!” Swamp Dragon transmitted.
Kyle looked upward and saw his team being besieged by beasts yet again.
Despite comprehending a new Law, Kyle’s perception hadn’t changed a lot.
After all, he had been using the majority of this Law already without even noticing it.
Things just became a bit clearer.
Kyle quickly reached his team and dealt with the beasts.
“Time to go,” Kyle transmitted. “This is getting too hot.”
Swamp Dragon and Manny noticed the dense Elemental Energy in the surroundings and agreed to leave.
As they retreated, Kyle killed a couple more beasts.
Luckily, this wasn’t like the last Planet.
Some seconds later, the three of them felt all the chaotic Energy vanishing.
Another two seconds later, the Energy completely calmed down.
They were no longer in the vicinity of the new Planet.
They had successfully retreated, and now, they just needed to return to the Array of Stars.
For a moment, they just looked at the distant Planet.
“Meteor Hammer?” Swamp Dragon asked.
“Huh?” Kyle uttered.
“What’s going on?” Swamp Dragon asked. “Beasts keep missing you. You randomly find a big vein of ore. You kill beasts without beheading them or destroying their Beast Core. You keep sensing the Dimensions.”
“You couldn’t do that before. What happened?”
“Well,” Kyle said, “if you had asked me just a couple of minutes ago, I wouldn’t have had an answer, but yeah, I know what’s going on.”
“I comprehended a Law,” Kyle said.
Swamp Dragon’s brows rose, while Manny’s eyes widened in realization.
“I know which one!” Manny said. “I’ve been working on that one for a while!”
“The Level Two Law of Soul.”
Kyle nodded. “Yep, that one.”
The Soul was the part of the Aspects of Power that related to sensing and manipulating the world.
Just like the Law of Body increased the power of the body, the Law of Soul increased the power of the Soul.
In short, it vastly increased the power of perception.
That was how Kyle could suddenly feel Energy so much better.
Goodbye 6-7 lets meet again in chapter 767!
