Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 103 - - Rain Walkers

The sound was very faint and extremely hard to hear. Especially with the sound of the rain mixed in, even Talon didn't hear it until a few seconds before.

Looking away from Acrypha, his hand slowly moved to his spear as he squinted his eyes. He couldn't see anything out of the ordinary in front of him. The world was as quiet as it was before.

However, the difference this time was that Talon's senses picked up on something. It was a very faint feeling, but he was certain of it… Something was looking at him.

Slowly, he stood up as he picked up his spear and the umbrella before he approached the edge and looked around him silently, searching for anything that could be considered abnormal.

'I felt it, something had moved around this place, it wasn't a coincidence.' He thought to himself.

If there was one thing Talon trusted more than anything else, it was his senses. They were one of the main reasons why he was still alive to that day and they didn't let him down most of the time so if they told him to be alert, then he was going to do exactly that.

Taking a step over the edge, Talon descended down to the ground as he landed quietly. Acrypha followed him silently. Down on the ground, he couldn't see anything weird either.

The rain had grown extremely violent so the scenery wasn't particularly visible. Still, he waited patiently.

"Hmm…" Talon stood there for a while waiting for anything. "Was I imagining things?" He murmured to himself.

'I swear I heard it clearly though.'

Sighing to himself, Talon turned around and started walking back to where he was before. However, at that exact moment, something suddenly moved at incredible speed as it closed the distance between them. The sound of water splashing ever-so-slightly echoed in the vicinity.

When it was close enough, it swung its claws down, aiming for Talon's open back. It was a guaranteed hit.

But, before the monster could even celebrate, its body suddenly halted at the last split second. Then, slowly, its head started sliding off its shoulders before it dropped to the ground, dead.

[Ding!]

[You have killed level 16 Rain Walker.]

"Did you really think I wouldn't notice that, idiot? You were louder than my alarm in the morning." Talon turned around and said coldly.

Staring down at the dead monster, he was surprised to see its appearance for the first time. It was a rather short creature with a very hideous appearance like that of a goblin. Its pointy ears and distorted teeth made it look even more terrifying.

However, its most glaring feature by far was its skin. Because of its weird grey color, the monster's skin blended very well with the world around him. Especially with the rain, it seemed almost invisible.

'So that's why I couldn't see it. Though, it probably used some kind of ability to vanish from sight.' He thought to himself as he swung his spear to the side, getting rid of all the blood that accumulated on it.

"Did it come here alone?" He asked as he turned around to look for any other creatures lurking.

The moment his sentence ended, he felt a chill run down his spine. A few auras suddenly appeared out of nowhere within his range. Talon couldn't exactly pinpoint the number but he was certain they were more than 5.

Before even reacting to it, Talon's body suddenly bent back. A split second later, he felt a small gush of air hit his face along with the sharp sound of something slicing through the air at top speed.

'Damn.' With a blank expression, Talon quickly moved again as he felt two new auras attacking him from behind and to his left side. Using his spear, Talon swung it to the side with full strength, sending a strong gush of air that blew one of the monsters away before he kicked with his leg, sending the third one flying back.

His body didn't need him to react for it to move so the entire time, Talon was still not fully comprehending the situation.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a level 15 Rain Walker.]

[Ding!]

[You have killed a level 17 Rain Walker.]

"Damn, these things are really nimble and stealthy." He murmured as he took a fighting stance and looked around him sharply.

The situation wasn't extremely threatening by any means since these monsters were far weaker than him. But, that didn't mean that Talon could relax as their attacks could very much injure him.

'The other two aren't attacking yet.' He thought to himself.

Looking around him in silence, he waited. But, nothing happened. He wondered if they ran away or perhaps didn't want to fight him anymore. So, he sat there and waited for a few seconds.

"Why aren't they attacking m-" Suddenly, Talon's eyes widened as they quickly moved back to the gymnasium. That's when everything instantly clicked.

'Shit! I wasn't their target in the first place!' Realizing the huge blunder he made, Talon dashed back to the gymnasium as fast as he could.

The entire time, the monsters weren't targeting him but instead were targeting the actual weak part of the group, the rest of the students. The few that came to Talon were simply a decoy. It was a rather simple trick but when the situation was this tense, Talon couldn't see through it as fast as he should've.

Reaching the gymnasium in a few seconds, he noticed a stain of blood at the entrance, next to the lying corpse of one of the students.

Frowning hard when he saw it, Talon clenched his teeth as he rushed inside. The place was naturally in chaos. Students were running around, trying to find their weapons and escape the clutches of the monsters. There were a huge number of them. Around 40 or even 50.

Since the inside wasn't rainy, the monsters could be seen. But, no one could fight them head-on because of their extremely high level. Students fell to the ground in terror as they watched the monsters rampage.

At the same time, Hyun-Jae had just reached the scene when she heard the ruckus and quickly pulled her sword out.

"Don't stand there, grab your weapons! We're getting attacked!" She yelled powerfully, sending a chill down the students' spines.

Meanwhile, Talon had already reached the first monster and sliced it down, severing its head with ease before he turned around and cut another one at top speed.

Then, he quickly dashed toward the closest one and stabbed it in the heart. His eyes wandered around as he pinpointed the location of all his targets. Then, he filtered out the ones that weren't killing any students and only focused on the rest.

To this point, Talon could see a few dead students on the ground which made him even angrier. Using all his strength and speed, he appeared like a blur as he moved around, cutting down monsters before they even realized he was there.

In a matter of seconds, he killed over 20 of them without breaking a sweat. At the same time, Talon had already summoned his Aetheris Blade.

At their current level, he knew that the Aetheris Blades couldn't kill those monsters. But, he didn't need them to kill.

"Please! Please don't kill me!! AGHHH!!" One of the students was cornered by a Rain Walker and he fell to the ground, screaming. Tears welled up in his eyes as he saw the claws approaching.

The monster stared at him menacingly as it was about to swing its claws. However, at that moment, a Blade flashed through the air and clashed with the monster.

"Graaaa!!!!" The creature growled as it found its claws being stopped by a flying blade.

Quickly, it tried to attack with the other hand, only for the blade to spin around and push the monster back.

"Graaaa!!!"

As it tried to attack again, the monster suddenly felt a cold gush of wind. Looking down slowly, its vision suddenly started tilting to the side before it fell to the ground dead.

'Good, the blades can handle these things for a few seconds.' Talon thought to himself as he moved to his next target.

In less than a second, Talon found a way to hinder the monsters without the need to reach them instantly. Even with his enormous speed, Talon couldn't be everywhere at the same time. So, the Aetheris Blades worked perfectly to buy him time.

Meanwhile, Hyun-Jae was also fighting the Rain Walkers. Though her level was 18, she took a few seconds longer than Talon to kill one of them so her progress wasn't as fast.

For the next 30 seconds or so, Talon completely destroyed the entire army of monsters. Even the Rain Walkers realized the terror that ensued on them and started running around instead of attacking the students.

The fear of death had taken over their instincts and made them forget their orders. Without uttering a single word, Talon had instilled a fear so deep into their hearts that they couldn't even fathom it themselves.
