Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 – Warriors

Sure enough, it wasn’t very difficult for Kyle to combine the whirlpools and create the funnel.

As Kyle held his hammer in front of him, he saw green Ether swirling around it.

’It looks almost like one of these aerodynamics simulations of cars,’ Kyle thought as he looked at the swirling hammer.

’It almost looks like it’s in motion or something.’

Kyle slowly walked out of the tunnel and swung his hammer.

"Whoa," he said as his hammer moved almost on its own.

He had barely used any power, but the hammer still completed a full swing.

"This is crazy!" Kyle said.

"This is a Fighter technique," Theodor said. "Without these techniques, Fighters are just normal humans."

Kyle swung his hammer again, and this time, he actually used some power.

As the hammer swung through the air, it didn’t make any noise. After all, it didn’t really displace any air.

"This is so weird," Kyle said.

"Get used to it," Theodor said. "The more techniques you know, the better."

At that point, Kyle remembered Fennek’s fiery swords.

"Hey, Boss," Kyle said. "What’s the difference between Knight techniques and Fighter techniques? They basically look the same to me."

"Ether usage," Theodor answered. "The techniques are similar, but they achieve similar effects in different ways."

"Knights do not have a powerful mind, which makes them barely more intelligent than normal humans. Because of that, their minds have difficulties in moving their Ether in a complex way."

"Look at all these whirlpools around your mining weapon. You have to visualize every single whirlpool to keep the technique active. You can do that because of your improved mind. Theoretically, Knights can do the same thing, but it takes them tens, if not hundreds, of times longer to practice these techniques."

"Someone with advanced spatial imagination can perfectly imagine a spinning dodecahedron in their mind, while an idiot can’t even imagine a spinning cube."

Kyle had no idea what a dodecahedron was, but it was probably some fancy object. He still understood the sentiment that Theodor tried to convey.

"Then, how do Knights use their abilities?" Kyle asked.

"Brute force," Theodor said. "Their application of Ether is much simpler, but since they had an improved Center, they just use ten times the amount of Ether with their techniques."

"Metaphorically, Knights launch huge waves of fire, while Fighters throw small balls of fire that explode on impact. Both of these attacks cause similar levels of damage, but they are different."

Kyle had a thought at that point.

"But I have an improved Center as well. So, I can just use a lot more Ether while using Fighter techniques, right?" he asked.

"Do you finally understand why Warriors, and especially Experts, are terrifying opponents?" Theodor asked.

Kyle remembered that Warrior was the official name of a Second Realm human who didn’t undergo any rituals, while Expert was the name for the Third Realm.

"Is the power increase double with a ritual?" Kyle asked.

"Roughly," Theodor answered. "If a normal human has a power level of one in every Aspect of Power, a Knight has 2.5 in body and Center and only 0.2 in mind and Soul. The concentration of Ether has its own use, which further increases the power. That’s why it’s not 2, 2, 0, 0."

Kyle did something that he rarely did.

He did math!
