Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 – Horrendous Smell

All six of them set off together.

'Seems like this weird thing is quite an emergency if all six of us set off together. Seems unprofitable to walk in a big group unless there's something big going on that needs all of us.'

Kyle didn't know what everyone was talking about since they used many words that he didn't know.

He only knew that there was something that was causing trouble.

The six of them ran out of the city, and Kyle had to run very quickly to keep up with them.

'Holy shit! They are so fast!' he thought as he watched Lancel jumping from branch to branch while the others just charged forward.

Nervon, the smaller and older man with the big shield, threw a glance at Kyle with annoyance.

The next moment, Kyle felt a hand grabbing him.

"Faster!" Nervon shouted as he put Kyle over his shoulder.

"Sorry," Kyle answered from Nervon's shoulder.

Kyle felt quite a bit embarrassed when he realized that he was carried like a sack of potatoes.

However, as soon as he lay on Nervon's shoulder, the speed of the group picked up drastically.

They were running almost twice as fast as before!

'What the fuck!' Kyle thought in shock as he saw the speed.

'That's like 25 miles per hour or something! Feels like I'm in a car!'

From his new vantage point, Kyle could watch the others.

Now that the speed had picked up, he could tell that the young Fennek was the one having trouble keeping up.

But in the next moment, Kyle saw something strange.

It was like the air around Fennek became hotter, and his surroundings became a bit distorted.

When that happened, his speed increased, and he managed to keep up with the senior hunters.

'Wonder what he's doing. Is this some kind of fantasy technique or something? Did he trigger one of his cooldowns?' Kyle thought.

The team ran at this speed for over 30 minutes.

Suddenly, Samson halted, and Nervon roughly threw Kyle to the side.

Samson gave orders to everyone, and the group split apart.

"Watch," Samson told Kyle.

"Understood," Kyle answered.

After a bit more walking, Kyle's eyes widened.

'What the fuck?!'

Kyle saw a bright clearing, but he could tell that this was not a natural one.

The clearing was littered with several broken trunks, which had an oddly black color.

It was obvious that this clearing used to be filled with trees, but all of the trees had been destroyed.

As Kyle took a deep breath, he started to cough.

'Holy shit! That smells horrendous!'

It was like Kyle had just breathed in a cloud of acid, and he felt like his throat and nose were burning.

As he looked around more, he realized that this wasn't just a clearing.

This was a trail of destruction!

The ground was black and broken, and Kyle could see the "clearing" stretching towards the horizon.

'How much fucking damage did this thing do?!'

'It must have destroyed thousands of these hard trees!'

Samson was investigating the ground while the others were nowhere to be seen.

He took a bit from the ground and put it into a pestle and mortar before mixing it.

Kyle watched with curiosity through his teary eyes.
