Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 - 48 – Nemesis

Kyle just kept scratching his head.

He just couldn't make sense of what the golem said.

What answer?!

Kyle approached the pit of coals and looked at them.

Despite the brightly burning flame, he could see the pieces of coal clearly.

He looked at all the different pieces to find some kind of inscription or pattern. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

But there was just nothing.

It was just coal.

Then, he focused on the fire.

It was burning...

Yep, that was fire.

He just kept staring at it, and after about a minute of looking at it, he confirmed yet again that it was fire.

'Is this some kind of school exam? Does the guy want me to write down a chemical formula or something?'

'I think fire was just oxidation, right? If I remember right, it's just heat being released when one thing turns into another thing. Something like that.'

Kyle still had no idea what the fuck the golem wanted from him.

As an experiment, Kyle grabbed his hammer and held it over the flames for a bit.

He held the hammer over the flames for around a minute before pulling it back.

The hammer's appearance didn't change.

Just out of curiosity, Kyle touched the tip of the hammer.

'Surprise, it's hot,' he thought as he caressed the hot head of the hammer.

'Yep, sure is fire,' he thought with a profound nod.

'The hammer's not very hot, though. One would think that holding a hammer over such a big flame for such a long time would heat it up a bit more.'

Kyle scratched the back of his head again before shrugging.

'Imma just try random shit and see if it works.'

Then, he bent down and grabbed one of the pieces of coal.

It was hot, but it wasn't too bad.

As Kyle moved the piece of coal around, he noticed that the black layer was coming off the piece, revealing an amber gem.

His brows raised in surprise and excitement as he looked into the amber gem.

Maybe the answer was in the gems?

Kyle looked at it for a while and found nothing.

Then, he sniffed it.

'Smells like fire.'

Finally, he licked it.

'Is this how fire tastes?' he thought in confusion. 'It tastes... like fire... I guess? Weird.'

After inspecting the gem for a minute, Kyle dumped it back into the pit before grabbing another piece.

He inspected that one as well and, once again, found jackshit.

He repeated the same thing many more times and never found anything of note.

The first pieces Kyle had grabbed and thrown back had already turned black again, and it became difficult to differentiate them from the ones he hadn't looked at yet.

After a while, Kyle just looked at the fire again.

'Are you really fire?' he thought. 'You don't seem very hot.'

Kyle extended his arm towards the fire.

His hand was getting hotter, and it was a bit uncomfortable.

It was like taking a shower that was just a bit too hot.
