Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 299

'What the fuck am I doing?' Kyle thought as he looked at the stone wall in front of him.

'I was always interested in the wealth of Theodor's Crypt. I wanted to have all the ores and the Ether he had stored in there. I saw the beasts and Ore Fiends as obstacles.'

Kyle sighed.

'But now, it's almost like the obstacles have become the reward.' 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

'I'm not here for the money but for what many people would consider suicide.'

'Man, I sure do love me some suicide.'

'This is so weird and fucked. If I use that gambler analogy again, it's like I'm a gambler who gets excited about betting, not winning.'

'Yes! I get to bet another mortgage on my house! I fucking love this!' Kyle thought sarcastically.

'That's insane. Literal nutcase thinking.'

Kyle sighed again. 'And yet, I am going to do it anyway.'

Then, Kyle quickly shook his head again to regain his bearings.

"Alright, how do I open this weird door?" Kyle asked.

"Go to the wall and touch that stone," Theodor said.

Over the next minute, Theodor gave Kyle directions on how to open the door, and finally, it opened.

The wall opened, and Kyle could see the cave behind it.

He still somewhat remembered the way and what he had seen.

"Alright, time to kill myself, I guess," Kyle commented as he readied his hammer.

Naturally, Kyle had already summoned his True Body, making him around three meters tall.

Then, he strode into the cave.

The wall behind him shook and closed on its own.

There was no more light entering the cave, but Kyle didn't need that anyway.

The more powerful he became, the more his perception relied on the Ether in the surroundings.

Even though Kyle was still only near the entrance, his instincts were already telling him that this was not a good idea.

They couldn't tell Kyle where the danger was, but they knew that this place was quite dangerous.

Kyle closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then, his eyes opened with conviction.

"Let's get this show on the road," he said as he stepped forward.

As he stepped forward, Kyle felt the feeling of danger increase.

The tunnel was long and not very straight, making it difficult to feel what was around the corner.

When Kyle reached another corner, he stopped.

There was danger around the corner, but it was not immediate.

Instead of continuing, Kyle poked his head around the corner to look.

'Oh, it's that room,' he thought.

This was one of the underground caves with a small lake.

The room itself was around 50 meters long and ten meters high. The right side of the room was essentially just a slope with some ore growing here and there. The left side of the room had a long and relatively deep lake.

Back then, the dog dragon thing walked through this room without any incidents, but Kyle remembered seeing a couple of Ore Fiends.

'I don't see any Ore Fiends,' Kyle thought as he looked at the room, 'but my instincts really don't like this room.'

A moment later, some of the ore growing on the slope started to shake.

Five of the clusters of ore rose from the ground and turned to Kyle.

'More crabs,' Kyle thought as he looked at them. 'Wonder how they noticed me.'

Meanwhile, the Crab Ore Fiends looked at the huge head poking around the corner.

Predator, neutral, or food?

They weren't sure.

'Well, they already saw me,' Kyle thought as he stepped around the corner.

The crabs saw Kyle's hammer and armor.

Ore!
