How do you not know what a Fighters Guild is?\" Theodor asked with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dwarf brain, remember?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodor snorted like the horse he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Fighters Guild is a company selling mercenaries. Specifically, Adepts, Fighters, and sometimes even Grandmasters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do the mercenaries do?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything,\" Theodor answered. \"Fighting in a war, assassinations, escorting, guards, and so on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do they also hunt beasts?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Occasionally,\" Theodor answered. \"The Hunter Guilds deal with killing beasts, but if there is a very powerful beast, they might ask for some Fighters to help them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of,\" Kyle said as he kept walking forward. \"How does the Hunter Guild deal with Ferocious Beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hunter Guilds are made up of a mix of different paths. They have their own Fighters, Sorcerers, Beast Tamers, and even some Knights sometimes. They are not weak or helpless. They just do not specialize in a specific path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, can I just join a Hunter Guild?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You join Hunter Guilds when you are done with growing more powerful. They pay more money, but they do not have many resources for teaching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Kyle had gotten pretty good at walking on the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he had to be careful of was not to take steps that were too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking, he also held the hilt of his hammer, making sure that it wouldn’t fall away in case he lost focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for several minutes, the sun illuminated more of the crevice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop walking,\" Theodor said evenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reposition yourself so that you stick as closely to the wall as you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" Kyle said, lying down on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay like this,\" Theodor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed, and the sun moved to a spot directly above the crevice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle could see in the dark, but it was still difficult for him to see the bottom of the crevice without the sun’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything merged into an unrecognizable mess at a certain distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he could see everything at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wow, what a surprise,’ Kyle thought. ’There’s nothing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a depth of about 200 meters, there was just rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, when Kyle saw the bottom, his instincts warned him of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yeah, no shit, it’s dangerous. If I fall down there, I will die!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you see it?\" Theodor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ground? Yeah,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not ground,\" Theodor said. \"Look at everything. Don’t focus on the details. Just look at the entire bottom of the crevice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle moved his head back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait, the ground is actually elevated a little bit in the middle. In a way, it looks like it could even split in two.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the shape remind you of something?\" Theodor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eeeehhh, a snake?\" Kyle guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Theodor said with annoyance. \"That’s a closed eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hair on Kyle’s back stood up as he looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eye?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Theodor said it, Kyle could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that eye had to be around 300 meters wide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How big would the entire beast be?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is an Abyss Eye,\" Theodor said. \"It creates big crevices and uses them as a trap. If anything falls into the crevice, the eye opens and consumes the victim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" Kyle whispered. \"So, this crevice is not natural?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not,\" Theodor answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Boss, why am I down here again?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because it is safer to be here than on the surface,\" Theodor answered. \"The Abyss Eye is big and powerful. Strong beasts have learned to avoid it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle gulped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happens if it opens?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle looked nervously at the gigantic closed eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we avoid that somehow?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m getting a bit nervous here,\" Kyle said. \"Can’t you say something to calm me down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to travel to the south, you have to get through these things,\" Theodor answered coldly. \"Don’t ask me to deal with your problems. Solve them yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you sent me down here,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, because it’s relatively safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it safe?\" Kyle asked with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the Abyss Eye only opens when it feels dense Ether. You do not have nearly enough Ether to wake it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle still hadn’t calmed down. \"What about the stones that fell down earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stones fall off walls all the time. That doesn’t wake an Abyss Eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kyle had an intrusive thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I walk on it?\" he asked. \"I mean, my Ether isn’t dense enough to wake it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to take the risk?\" Theodor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle looked at the closed eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, don’t ask stupid questions,\" Theodor answered with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a huge shadow appeared inside the crevice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle looked up, and his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A humongous bird was passing over the crevice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That thing is the size of a plane!’ Kyle thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not move,\" Theodor said with a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Kyle heard crackling coming from the bottom of the crevice, and he carefully looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottom of the crevice was shaking a bit, moving the stones on top of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle stopped breathing as terror overtook him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It also reacts to shadows,\" Theodor said. \"That’s why I told you to stick to the wall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the middle of the crevice split.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was just black beneath it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Kyle saw a beam of light coming from one side of the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s coming closer!’ Kyle thought as he saw the beam sweeping across the entire crevice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not move!\" Theodor shouted. \"Get as close to the wall as you can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle did his best to make himself as flat as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the beam reached him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And paused.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-05-30T13:30:43.672Z","2026-06-01T04:31:20.275Z",1,"novelbin.me","13ac05f079f606b59472a664634628f76ac8758979727117502c07127e427fd9","strongest-hammer-god-chapter-55","strongest-hammer-god-chapter-113",902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstrongest-hammer-god-cover.jpg"]
