Chapter 225 - Removing the Hammer (2/2)

Most of the group remained outside while Lenny and Gary entered the dungeon below. No one else went inside. Lenny showed Gary many diagrams of the Demon man's hammer and the best method to get the hammer to be taken off.

Finally, they had reached the back of the room where the demon man was tied to a furnace. Whenever the demon man was away from flames it seemed to significantly weaken him. They didn't want to kill him but just remove the hammer hoping that he would no longer be possessed and they could ask the man a few questions.

Gary placed the drawing down on the floor and held it with his foot so he could look at it for reference whenever he needed to. The demon man was silently asleep and Gary went to work.

The diagram showed where Gary was to cut each part of the demon man's hand with his black sword. It was a if Gary was doing a delicate operation.

There were strands of muscles that twisted around the Hammer's handle. It looked as if a bunch of wires had been wrapped around the hammer.

”You are doing well,” Lenny said surprised at what skill Gary possessed.

Sweat started to drip from Gary's brow as his concentration rose. The Diagram Lenny had shown, explained that he had to cut each muscle fibre in a certain direction of place and order.

”It's difficult.” Gary said, ”Every time I cut part of the man's hand it seems to grow back into the hammer.”

”Keep trying and work faster.”

Suddenly while Gary was in the middle of cutting off certain parts of the demon man's hand. Gary could see the white light in his vision. It was as if his mind was telling him the right place to cut.

”I think I've got the hang of this.”

Then when Gary only had a few more pieces to cut off from the man. The hammer seemed to open itself up and detached itself. It was like a melted liquid that was alive.

”Get out of there!” Lenny shouted.

The Liquid moved at a great speed, too fast for Gary to react with his black sword. In an instant, it attached itself to Gary's arm and started to wrap around it.

”No, what is happening!” Gary cried.

The liquid then solidified around Gary's right arm and took the form of a gauntlet. It had the same design as the hammer on the demon man but now took a different shape.

Gary looked towards Lenny, his face pale and filled with horror. His eyes were full of terror.

”Help me,” Gary said.
