Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 69 - - What?!

Hyun-Jae stared at him in confusion. "Half?" The number made her think that she heard him wrong.

"Yeah, more or less. As I said, it all depends on our luck and how we execute it." Talon shrugged as he opened the door to the gymnasium and walked outside with Hyun-Jae.

Killing half of the monsters without even risking their lives was such an amazing thing. So amazing, in fact, that it sounded completely impossible. Hyun-Jae couldn't really see how that could be done. Yet, Talon said that it was possible so she naturally believed he was not speaking nonsense.

"So, what's the idea?" She asked curiously.

Talon, however, didn't respond immediately as he started walking farther and farther away from the gymnasium. His head kept turning left and right as if he was searching for something. Eventually, his eyes fell on something and he immediately hurried his steps toward it.

"This building." He said as he turned around. The building he pointed at was one of the few that were still standing after the bombing. However, its state was naturally really horrible.

"What about it?" Hyun-Jae raised an eyebrow.

"Simple, we're going to make it collapse on the monsters as they rush toward us. Luckily, there are many buildings like this one. If we can destroy their bases enough to keep them barely standing and then finish the job the moment the monsters come under it, I think we can bury a good number of them under the ruble."

"That is…" Hyun-Jae stared at Talon in shock. "That's a really good idea!" She exclaimed.

The latter grinned as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Of course, I only come up with genius ideas. Can't beat that, hahahaha! The best plan, no risks." He laughed.

"But, wait, if we're going to do that, one has to bait the monsters, no?" Hyun-Jae rubbed her chin as she asked.

"Ah yeah, I will get close to the monsters and lead them toward the buildings before giving them the last hit."

Hyun-Jae: "..."

The girl blinked silently before she sighed. "Can you explain to me how that isn't risky?" She asked as she rubbed her temples.

"Hmm, I said technically. Besides, I'm not facing them, I'm just baiting them into the traps I set. All I have to do is run fast and I should be fine." He said as he pulled his spear out and started walking around the building searching for the areas he wanted to strike to make it shaky.

Hyun-Jae didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his humor during such a tense situation. In the end, she gave up. She already knew Talon well enough not to even try to stop him from executing the idea since he seemed so hell-bent on doing it.

Instead, she pulled her sword out and started searching for the bases she needed to hit.

"Hm, this looks good," Talon murmured as he gripped his spear tightly and thrust forward.

*BANG*

The blade pierced through the wall with ease, creating a hole in it. Talon then pulled the spear out and thrust again with full force. Although his raw strength isn't at the level where he can break cement with his fists, the spear was a different story since it was seemingly made out of a very sturdy metal of some sort.

Slowly, Talon broke through the cement and the rocks, creating a bigger hole in the base. Then, when he felt like it was already fragile enough, he moved toward the next one.

At the same time, Hyun-Jae did the same on the other side using her sword, though her progress was a little slower than Talon considering he had better strength than she did.

In a matter of a few minutes, they were done with the building's bases.

"Great, this looks like it's going to fall at any moment. Hitting that base should make it collapse." Talon murmured as he turned around.

"One down… 10 more to go." He murmured as he realized the huge task they had to pull off before the monsters arrived.

"Let's hurry," Hyun-Jae said as she moved toward the next building followed by Talon.

Then, the two started breaking all the bases they could see as fast as they could. They didn't waste any second idling around, moving from one building to another in quick succession.

After more than half an hour, they were finally done with the buildings. However, at the same time, the shaking from the horde's approach was now at an all-time high. Each move they made was akin to the earth shaking violently.

After that, the two went back to the base and continued the preparations with the students and made sure everyone was ready physically and mentally for this. By the end of it, the students were standing outside, right in front of the gymnasium and facing the monsters directly.

Even with their steeled wills, fear was still within their hearts naturally. Especially with the monsters being closer than ever now.

Looking back, Talon could see the horde without the need to even rise to a high ground. His face turned dead cold as he inhaled a long breath.

"Are you nervous?" Acrypha asked as she floated around him.

"What do you think?" He asked back with a small smile.

"Hm, is it weird that I don't see any nervousness in your eyes?" She raised an eyebrow as she stared at him from up close.

Talon looked at her silently for a second before he sighed. "To be honest, I'm not nervous."

"Ohoh, so I was right, after all?"

"Yeah, but rather than nervous, I'm eager to get this done well and reap all the rewards from killing hundreds of those bastards." He said.

Talon was certain that if everything went according to plan, the sheer power he was about to gain was going to be monstrous.

"You're slowly turning into a greedy one, Talon." Acrypha smiled at him.

"Am I now?"

"Haha, you aren't aware of it?"

"I maybe am. Shit, I might need to tone it down then." He shrugged.

"Well, as long as you're aware of it, there is no need to worry."

"Haha, fair enough." Talon chuckled briefly as his eyes finally fell on the monsters again. They were now right outside the campus grounds as they smashed into the walls, breaking them completely as they moved outside.

Their huge numbers made it impossible for them not to clash and smash against each other in a chaotic, bestial mess. Their howls and cries grew even louder, taking over the ears of the students.

"They're here," Hyun-Jae murmured with a strong frown as her eyes wandered to her companion. She didn't know how Talon was feeling at that moment being the one who would face the monsters first but personally, Hyun-Jae was terrified.

However, seeing his composed expressions made her realize that Talon wasn't really letting his fear take control over him. That filled her with more confidence as she balled her fists.

'I can do this. I can…' She repeated in her head.

"Ok, I'm ready," Talon said as he finally turned to Hyun-Jae. "Are you?"

The girl nodded her head seriously. "I am ready too. Take care and don't get too close to the monster horde. Remember that we only want to reduce their numbers. No need for any extra efforts to kill more." She said.

"I know, don't worry." Saying that, Talon finally jumped down from the rubble he was standing on and dashed forward a top speed. Hyun-Jae watched him with a tense expression. The countdown officially started.

The monsters already spread across the entire entrance area of the campus and continued moving in one single direction. Talon noticed that they didn't seem like they were intending to spread across the entire campus.

'Why are they acting like this?' Jumping through the rubble and rocks, he reached an open area where he could see the horde clearly. He wanted to check why they were acting this bizarrely.

Much to his shock, what he saw there completely shattered everything he thought of at that moment.

"What… the fuck…" He murmured.

Right in front of the horde of monsters, a man riding a bike was moving at top speed right toward him. The monsters were chasing him madly as if he were their only target.

The sight was so absurd that Talon thought he was hallucinating for a second. However, it was as real as it could get and was happening in real-time in front of him.

Talon's eyes squinted as he focused on the man, only to realize who he was in a second. His striking handsome features and cold expression were simply too hard to ignore even in such a horrible situation.

"Seo Chin-Hwa?!" Talon blurted out in shock. "What the fuck is he doing here?!"
