Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 352

"Kyle, can you deal with the mission?" Selene asked. "You said it's done, right?"

"Eh, yeah, sure," Kyle said.

"Do you need help? The way back is dangerous," Michael asked.

"It's fine," Kyle said. "On my own, I'm quite a bit faster, and as you know, I've got a good sense for danger."

"He can handle himself," Selene said. "You've seen what he did to the Holy Paladin."

Silence.

"Okay, then," Michael said after some seconds.

"Alright, be right back!" Kyle said with a smile before he ran towards the south, pulling the heavy sword behind him.

As soon as Kyle left, several loud shouts came from the members of team Sandstorm.

They were the sounds of an argument.

However, Kyle didn't hear any of that since he was busy running back to base.

He ran up and down several mountains until he reached the Slicing Mantis' territory.

Kyle looked over at the spot where Silvester should be and just awkwardly waved.

'No idea if he's still here or not.'

Then, Kyle just kept running.

On his way, his instincts warned him of some dangerous areas, but he simply avoided them.

He arrived in the fortress without any incident.

As soon as Kyle arrived, he released a sigh of relief.

'No incidents, for once. Feels good, man.'

Kyle walked into the fortress itself after identifying himself.

"Hey, can you call Captain Halindrom?" he asked one of the guards. "I have no idea where he's staying."

"Sure, just wait here," the guard said before entering one of the hallways.

Some minutes later, the Captain walked back down.

When he saw the heavy sword in Kyle's hand and the sack, a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's talk in private," he said before his serious demeanor returned.

Kyle and the Captain walked into a meeting room.

"So, I take it you had some success?" the Captain asked.

"Yep," Kyle said as he pulled out the sack.

Then, he emptied all the contents onto the table.

The Captain's eyes immediately landed on the two Ether Crystals.

The required number for the mission.

"Only two?" he asked. "Are you sure you didn't forget anything? An Ether Essence spits out between five and ten Ether Crystals per year, you know?"

"What am I supposed to do?" Kyle asked with a shrug. "The Winterfire Kingdom was already mining there. I'm lucky that I got those two."

The Captain narrowed his eyes.

"The Winterfire Kingdom has a working mine?" he asked.

"Yep," Kyle said before lifting the heavy sword onto the table. "Where do you think I got this from? You ever seen someone in the Third Realm with an improved Soul die? Their loot just pops out. It's crazy!"

The Captain looked at the sword in detail.

"This was made by the Divine Duchy," the Captain said. "Only Holy Paladins carry those."

"Yeah, guess who popped like a pinata," Kyle said.

"Pinata?" the Captain asked in confusion.

"Never mind. It's some kind of loot horse. It's a local thing," Kyle said.

The Captain looked at the sword for a while longer.

"You're saying there was a Holy Paladin near the Ether Essence?" he asked.

"Yep," Kyle said.

"What happened to them?"
