Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 198

Gill gave Kyle some more feedback about his other weaknesses.

During these couple of minutes of talking, Kyle felt like he had learned more about fighting than from weeks of training with Nervon.

It was expected that an experienced Mid Fighter knew much more about combat, but Kyle hadn't expected the difference to be this significant.

'Nervon was a good hunter, but he was not a fighter. He was just a stronger regular human.'

'When Theodor said that I have no proper fighting education, I felt a bit bad for Nervon. I mean, he trained me for months.'

'But he's right,' he thought with a sigh. 'Nervon is a layman, not a soldier or instructor.'

Naturally, Kyle paid Gill since his course was more than worth the money.

When the course ended, Kyle went to the guild shop.

Gill had given him a couple of technique recommendations, and Kyle wanted to look at the prices.

When he looked at the prices, Kyle immediately noticed something.

'The good techniques all cost contribution points, while the average ones cost Ether Pebbles or even Ether Stones.'

Kyle only knew of two techniques, and he could use one of them.

Air Current and Earth Smash.

'Earth Smash is worth ten Ether Pebbles, while Air Current is worth 20.'

Ten Ether Pebbles was the cheapest price for any technique.

When Kyle saw the technique Gill recommended the most, he had to take a deep breath.

'An entire Ether Stone,' Kyle thought. 'That's half of what I own. Ten percent of one of the Tomes.'

"Is it worth buying?" Kyle quietly asked Theodor.

"Yes," Theodor answered. "You will remain a Peak Adept for an entire year to gather experience. Fix your more immediate issues before turning your gaze to distant problems."

Kyle nodded and put an Ether Stone on the counter.

"I want to purchase Fire Trail," Kyle said.

"That's a rare one," the seller said with a chuckle. "Not many buy that technique, but I can see why you have use for it."

Naturally, the seller was also a Fighter, and he was experienced with fighting other humans.

"How can you tell?" Kyle asked.

"Your big mace," the seller said, searching through a bookcase. "It's perfect for you."

Kyle couldn't be entirely sure why.

Gill had not told him why he should buy Fire Trail.

He just told him to buy it and thank him later.

Just based on the name and description of the technique, Kyle wouldn't have guessed that this technique would fit him.

It wouldn't even have entered his mind.

It seemed almost useless.

"Here it is," the seller said, putting a book on the counter. "You get 14 days to study it. After that, you have to give it back. You are not allowed to distribute any of the techniques you purchased here. Any illegal distribution will be heavily persecuted."

"I know," Kyle said as he took hold of the book.

Then, he left the city and stopped at the place where Bonk and him had trained for a while.

Kyle quietly studied the book.

'Quite simple,' he thought. 'It's similar to Air Current.'

Nevertheless, without one-to-one coaching, Kyle still needed several hours to find initial success with the technique.

Kyle held his hammer in front of him and infused it with Fire Ether.

The next moment, his hammer started to burn.

It looked intimidating but in truth…

Kyle moved his other hand forward and touched the fire.

'Sure, it's a bit hot, but I would need to touch it for a couple of seconds to get a burn.'

A normal human would get severe burns after coming into contact with the fire, but Fighters or beasts would only feel it slightly.

Fire Trail's destructive potential was low.

It also didn't increase Kyle's speed, and it also didn't hide his hammer or something similar.

The next moment, Kyle swung his hammer from side to side.

As he swung it, a trail of orange fire was left behind, which was a bit wider than the hammer.

The trail of fire needed about two seconds to disperse, but that was already quite long.

When Kyle's swing ended, the beginning of the trail hadn't even started to vanish yet.

It was like someone had painted the air with fire.

'Sure, it looks cool, but why would it be amazing for me?'

'I don't think Gill would scam me.'

'Maybe it will show a greater effect if I get better at it?'

For an entire day, Kyle just trained in Fire Trail, and by the end, he had gotten a lot better.

Fire Trail barely used any Ether, and its trail had also become a lot wider.

By now, it was three times as wide as his hammer's head.

"I'll give you a fitting opponent when the course starts. Just use it and watch," Gill said. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
