Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Chapter 114 – Abyss

Kyle kept walking carefully.

"What even is a Fighters Guild?" Kyle asked. "I heard that term several times, but I don’t exactly know what it’s about."

"You worked for a Hunter Hall. How do you not know what a Fighters Guild is?" Theodor asked with annoyance.

"Dwarf brain, remember?" Kyle asked.

Theodor snorted like the horse he was.

"A Fighters Guild is a company selling mercenaries. Specifically, Adepts, Fighters, and sometimes even Grandmasters."

"What do the mercenaries do?" Kyle asked.

"Anything," Theodor answered. "Fighting in a war, assassinations, escorting, guards, and so on."

"Do they also hunt beasts?" Kyle asked.

"Occasionally," Theodor answered. "The Hunter Guilds deal with killing beasts, but if there is a very powerful beast, they might ask for some Fighters to help them."

"Speaking of," Kyle said as he kept walking forward. "How does the Hunter Guild deal with Ferocious Beasts?"

"Hunter Guilds are made up of a mix of different paths. They have their own Fighters, Sorcerers, Beast Tamers, and even some Knights sometimes. They are not weak or helpless. They just do not specialize in a specific path."

"Then, can I just join a Hunter Guild?" Kyle asked.

"You join Hunter Guilds when you are done with growing more powerful. They pay more money, but they do not have many resources for teaching."

By now, Kyle had gotten pretty good at walking on the walls.

The only thing he had to be careful of was not to take steps that were too big.

While walking, he also held the hilt of his hammer, making sure that it wouldn’t fall away in case he lost focus.

After walking for several minutes, the sun illuminated more of the crevice.

"Stop walking," Theodor said evenly.

Kyle stopped.

"Reposition yourself so that you stick as closely to the wall as you can."

"Sure," Kyle said, lying down on the wall.

"Stay like this," Theodor said.

"Okay."

Minutes passed, and the sun moved to a spot directly above the crevice.

Kyle could see in the dark, but it was still difficult for him to see the bottom of the crevice without the sun’s help.

Everything merged into an unrecognizable mess at a certain distance.

But now, he could see everything at the bottom.

’Wow, what a surprise,’ Kyle thought. ’There’s nothing.’

At a depth of about 200 meters, there was just rock.

Yet, when Kyle saw the bottom, his instincts warned him of danger.

’Yeah, no shit, it’s dangerous. If I fall down there, I will die!’

"Do you see it?" Theodor asked.

"The ground? Yeah," Kyle said.

"That’s not ground," Theodor said. "Look at everything. Don’t focus on the details. Just look at the entire bottom of the crevice."

Kyle moved his head back and forth.

After a while, he noticed something.

’Wait, the ground is actually elevated a little bit in the middle. In a way, it looks like it could even split in two.’

"Does the shape remind you of something?" Theodor asked.

"Eeeehhh, a snake?" Kyle guessed.

"No," Theodor said with annoyance. "That’s a closed eye."

The hair on Kyle’s back stood up as he looked down.

An eye?

Now that Theodor said it, Kyle could see it.
