Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 375

Kyle stretched his muscles a bit and did some practice swings with his hammer.

Then, he went over the new techniques he had created.

Well, technically speaking, they were farts not techniques anymore.

After all, they were essentially half-Spells, half-techniques.

They could be used instantaneously like techniques, but were more like Spells.

Pull, Transformation, Injection, Shaping, Firing.

Normal techniques only had the Pull and Transformation steps. The Firing step only existed when techniques were used in one instant, but those were in the minority.

For example, Kyle's Boost was a technique that used the Firing step since it unleashed all its power in one instant.

Meanwhile, Pilebunker, Fire Trail, Air Current, Fire Cloak, and Wind Dash were all continuous techniques, which meant the effect kept going as long as Ether was fed into them.

The Injection and Shaping steps were usually replaced by simply infusing a weapon or a body part with a technique.

If one wanted to argue, one could say techniques also included the Injection and Shaping steps. After all, a weapon had to be injected with the Ether, and the Ether had to be shaped.

Yet, arguing like that was akin to arguing that a wooden cart was a car.

The complexity was on a different level.

Spells had to be shaped outside the body, which was why the Injection step usually used a crystal on the end of a staff as a medium.

And why were Sorcerers doing that?

Because the Shaping step was too complex.

Metaphorically speaking, the Sorcerers needed to build a complex machine with every Spell.

If they built the Spell inside their bodies, it would be like building the machine while carrying it in their hands.

It was far easier to build when it rested on a workbench in front of them.

But was that true for Kyle?

No.

The reason why it wasn't an issue for Kyle was that he had an improved Soul.

Sorcerers did not have that.

Returning to the metaphor, having an improved Soul was akin to being able to let the machine levitate in front of oneself.

Shaping a Spell was even easier this way.

So, how exactly did Kyle's new creation work?

First, he converted his own Ether into the necessary Elemental Ether.

Then, he pulled it out and infused it into the component he wanted to improve. For example, the pick of his hammer.

After that, he shaped and refined the Ether to achieve the desired effect.

However, there was a big issue.

Power. Simply activating the new creation in an instant would result in a technique that was about 30% stronger than other techniques.

That was pretty good already, but a simple 30%-increase was nothing when compared to a Spell's power.

Yet, making it stronger required a more complex Shaping step, which needed more time.

And even worse, while the creation was in the Shaping step, it wouldn't unleash any power.

Without a finished Shaping step, the component would just have Elemental Ether on it without any finesse.

It was like having armor made of liquid metal. It wouldn't block much before it solidified.

This was the problem that took Kyle the longest to fix, and he still wasn't happy with his result.

But, for now, it would do.

He created levels.

Almost every single one of his creations could be launched in an instant so that he could use them at a moment's notice.
