Kyle thought as he watched the Ore Fiend preparing for another jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This stupid fucking voice is no help at all. The only thing it can do is complain. Well, what am I supposed to do about this?! This thing is far beyond my current level!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Run away? Dude, there are so many more of these things out there!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle jumped to the side as the Ore Fiend jumped once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ore Fiend landed almost perfectly beside him and extended its hand towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle barely managed to move the hand away by striking it full force with his hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, a second hand came, and Kyle fell on his ass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one fluid motion, he rolled over his back and barely managed to avoid the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he scrambled onto his feet just when the Ore Fiend was ready to jump again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck this!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle immediately started to run towards the spiral staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ore Fiend jumped and misjudged Kyle's trajectory, luckily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kyle knew that his luck wouldn't hold on forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ore Fiend landed on top of the spiral staircase, but Kyle just barely managed to squeeze in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost his footing and tumbled down the stairs for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his body was powerful enough to resist the tumble, and he managed to catch himself after a quick tumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance of the spiral staircase was over ten meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the architect of this gigantic spire wanted it to be as imposing and grand as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, that was also how this Ore Fiend managed to get up to the Inheritance Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If you had just been a slight bit humbler, you wouldn't have been eaten by this fucking rock eater.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle looked at the Ore Fiend, which looked back at Kyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't jump now, eh?\" Kyle shouted with a smirk. \"Guess landing on these stairs is difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?!\" the voice shouted. \"Run! Tell Sulfur there are Ore Fiends!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dude, I literally just told you that there are like 20 of them out there!\" Kyle shouted back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"20?! I knew I should have gotten rid of the Ancestral Stone Spring! My entire Inheritance Crypt is ruined!\" the voice shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle blinked a couple of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Didn't he say that exact same thing a couple of seconds ago?' he thought in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more, the voice shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white Ore Fiend just kept looking at Kyle, who looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was it supposed to get him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Ore Fiend's brain had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Ore Fiend pulled its legs and arms in, turning back into a boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What's it doing?' Kyle thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Ore Fiend tilted forward...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And tumbled down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck!' Kyle thought when he saw that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that this Ore Fiend wouldn't be damaged by falling down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That weaker Ore Fiend outside easily survived a fall from a hundred meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only damage the Ore Fiend could cause by tumbling down the stairs was flattening Kyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\" the voice shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Run?' Kyle thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Kyle remembered all the movies he had seen about a big boulder following the hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outrunning a boulder was impossible, despite what all the movies showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing would pick up speed so fucking fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing Kyle could do was to jump into the middle of the level, which meant falling for about 90 meters, going splat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was like a train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Train?' Kyle thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he got an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Train!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle rammed the pick of his hammer diagonally into the outer corner of the spiral staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this spire was ridiculously hard, and Kyle's hammer didn't even crack it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Kyle ducked behind his hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This thing is round!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Round things go in the square hole, and the square hole has plenty of space!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder ground against the walls of the spiral staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls and stairs shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the lower left part of the boulder hit the corner of the hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer was pushed back, and Kyle was pushed back with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the kinetic force of the boulder also pushed the hammer into the staircase's corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each action had an equal and opposite reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder jumped like a car that had hit a bump in the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or like a train that had driven over a track with a steel ball on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder jumped over the hammer and over Kyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left the stairs, flying a bit over the open center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it entered the vicinity of the staircase again but at a different angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder hit the walls and bounced off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it rolled over the edge of the staircase again and entered a freefall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle rapidly stood up and ran down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boulder was still falling, but Kyle knew that the Ore Fiend wouldn't even receive a scratch from that fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It kept falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And landed on the second layer of the spire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It landed on one of the hard gems, and Kyle heard a cracking sound reverberating through the spire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its weight, coupled with the hardness of the big and dull crystal, was enough to crack its armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, as soon as the Ore Fiend landed, its body lost its boulder shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the Ore Fiend laid on the floor with its belly pointing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle's mind was going wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ore Fiend's armor was cracked, but he couldn't see where it was damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a height of about 70 meters, Kyle saw the Ore Fiend slowly standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn't looked at him yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle's entire body was heating up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was also excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a tiny chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle started shaking as he gripped his hammer tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck it!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'We ball, or we die!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There is no way out!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-05-30T13:30:43.672Z","2026-06-01T04:31:20.275Z",1,"novelbin.me","a0ab8d0525ff0c5d6a0e3befcc74adc4be011be410fb21fdcec7858afcda17f4","strongest-hammer-god-chapter-125","strongest-hammer-god-chapter-124",902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstrongest-hammer-god-cover.jpg"]
