Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 140 – Destruction

Almost immediately, 15 of the 30 or so ants charged at Kyle.

’Retreat!’ Kyle thought as he vanished behind the hill again.

The ants also ran over the hill and chased him.

"If you would have been a bit less conspicuous, you would only have to deal with a couple of them," Theodor said.

"My idea is great!" Kyle shouted back.

Theodor didn’t answer.

Sadly, despite having a greater reach with the stilts, Kyle was not faster than before.

Sure, he made bigger steps, but every step needed a lot more energy.

’I should invent a bicycle!’ Kyle thought. ’That would make me faster!’

’But not now!’

Kyle looked back at the charging ants.

Well, his stilts had one advantage, and that was that it was much easier to see the horde of ants.

And what he saw was not nice.

They were gaining ground on him.

However, Kyle just kept running.

After running for a while, he noticed something.

Some of the ants were turning back.

By now, there were only ten ants charging at Kyle.

CRACK!

That was when the first ant clamped down on one of Kyle’s stilts.

The ant stopped moving in preparation to stop Kyle from fleeing.

However, Kyle’s leg just disconnected from the stilt and buried the pick of his hammer in the ant’s head.

It was a bit awkward to swing his hammer in this position, but thanks to Air Current, Kyle didn’t need to use all of his power to kill one of these ants.

Kyle connected his foot to the stilt again and extended his other stilt over the corpse.

The ants behind the corpse immediately charged at the stilt to grab it.

Kyle grinned when he saw that.

He jumped down from his stilts and landed on the corpse.

Then, he swung his hammer.

BOOOOOM!

Pincers and bodies flew into the distance as Kyle unleashed a devastating strike.

"You could’ve just done that from the very beginning," Theodor commented.

"Shut up! I’m busy!" Kyle shouted as he jumped back to avoid the horde of ants.

BANG!

Kyle swung his hammer again, destroying more pincers and throwing ant bodies at each other.

Then, he jumped back again before unleashing another strike.

That was when Kyle noticed how easy it actually was to deal with the ants in this way.

Sure, the ants were faster, but they all charged at him in a line.

The ant behind the first ant needed to clear more distance to get to Kyle, and that was enough time for Kyle to swing his hammer again.

As long as he jumped backward, he would have enough time to swing his hammer again before the next ant arrived.

"That’s what I had in mind," Theodor said. "If you had done that from the very beginning, you would have cleared the nest by now."

Kyle couldn’t answer.

Sure, this seemed to work, but every single swing was still incredibly risky.

If he messed up even one of the swings, one of the ants would clamp down on him or his weapon, and he would be done for.

It sounded super easy, but it required perfect execution.

This felt much more dangerous than running from the ants on stilts.

Kyle couldn’t mess up!

He couldn’t lose his focus!

BANG!

Kyle destroyed another set of pincers.

More and more pincers stretched to him, and he destroyed all of them as quickly as he could.

When an ant with one or no pincers charged at him, he directly struck its head with his hammer.

The battle was intense.

Kyle swung his hammer again, but he missed.

His mind nearly stopped.

He had messed up!
