Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 72 - - Brutal And Bloody (Part 2)

The lightning attack dissipated quickly across the horde and its effects vanished the next second. Many monsters fell to the ground shaking violently while others were thrown in disarray because of it.

However, it didn't take them long to regain their balance and flood the entire area. Their steps shook the ground like an earthquake and their growls and howls filled the world.

Talon slowly stepped forward as he moved his spear gently around his arm. His eyes were deadly cold and his breathing was calm and steady.

[Ding!]

[You have activated 'Spearmanship'.]

His steps slowly grew faster and faster as the hordes of monsters grew closer and closer to him. Even under their wild, untamed looks and pure savagery, he didn't flinch nor look away.

*Swish*

Then, out of nowhere, he started running toward them, slowly increasing his speed till he seemed like a blur to untrained eyes.

Barely a second later, he was a few meters away from the monsters. So, without hesitation, he gripped his spear tightly and leaped in the air at full speed, crossing the remaining distance.

In his vision was the first monster he aimed for, using both hands, he stabbed forward with his spear. For a moment, the weapon appeared like a flash as it sliced through the air, piercing the monster's head with ease.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a level 7 One-Eye Monkey.]

Talon ignored the notification as he pulled the spear out and immediately sliced it to the side, cutting two monsters' heads. Swiftly, he spun the spear around and stabbed behind him at a monster that tried to sneak around before he jumped back.

In just a few seconds, he killed 4 monsters as if it was nothing without sustaining any damage whatsoever. But, he wasn't done yet, dashing forward, Talon daringly dived into the enemy lines as he sliced left and right.

With his strength and speed, no monster was able to stay alive the moment the spear touched them. Blood exploded everywhere he went followed by growls of deadly pain. The earth beneath him was turned into a sea of blood and bodies.

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding]

[Ding!]

Notifications kept appearing and disappearing endlessly as Talon continued his rampage. His enhanced focus skill worked full-throttle as he moved through enemy lines.

[Enhanced Focus has improved.]

[Enhanced Focus has improved.]

[Enhanced Focus has improved.]

[Enhanced Focus has improved.]

[Ding!]

[Enhanced Focus has leveled up.]

Feeling his senses sharpen even more, Talon's speed increased along with it as his eyes moved left and right at ridiculous speed while his brain calculated all the right moves he needed to do like a killing machine.

Meanwhile, Hyun-Jae and Chin-Hwa witnessed that sight from the sidelines and could only shudder at how terrifying it was. Talon wasn't simply killing these things, he was massacring them without hesitation.

The scene was horrible to witness but also impressive to endless degrees. Especially Chin-Hwa, he realized that Talon had grown way stronger during the few days he didn't see him. His overwhelmingly crushing strength had jumped by leaps and bounds again.

'I can't let him exceed me!!' Shaking his head, he held his katana as he noticed the monsters rushing toward him. Holding the sword above his head, he waited for the first monster to approach him. When it got close, Chin-Hwa suddenly flashed forward like a ghost, appearing behind the monster with a subtle ringing of the sword.

"Fuuuh…" He exhaled a long breath as he heard a loud thud behind him.

Then, without looking back, he rushed forward. Using his katana, Chin-Hwa skilfully cut the monsters in his path. He wasn't extremely fast or extremely strong, but he had incredible technique with the sword.

His moves looked so easy, fluid, and perfect, giving the hallucination that he was merely swinging the sword left and right.

His eyes were dead sharp and his arms were straightened as he held the sword with two hands rather than one.

Meanwhile, Hyun-Jae decided to take another approach. While Talon and Chin-Hwa were a little deeper in the enemy line, she used the opportunity to move freely around hunting down the monsters that broke through and were rushing toward the students.

Using her nimble movements, she crossed the distance left and right as she killed every single monster she saw. Her lightning manipulation skill was a devastating power especially with her sword being the one that conducts it.

"Holy shit…"

"Pinch me… I think I'm dreaming! Ouch!! I didn't mean to literally pinch me!!"

Meanwhile, back at the students' lines, they watched everything ensue with their mouths wide open in shock. Three people were fighting hundreds of monsters alone without seemingly getting overwhelmed by it.

The number of monsters falling to the ground was enormous and still rising at a rapid pace.

"Are we even going to need to fight?" One male student asked confusedly.

"It seems Miss Hyun-Jae and Mister Talon are handling the matter alone. Although, I don't know about the third person. I can't see his face from here. He seems really strong."

"Hey! Focus everyone!" Go Young-Soon shouted as he snapped them back to reality.

Even though the trio were indeed fighting the monsters alone, that didn't mean that some monsters weren't able to escape their blades. These monsters naturally moved toward the huge number of students at the back.

When they saw that, some tensed up and instinctively retreated. However, when they realized that there were hundreds of students and only a few monsters, their courage came back as they pulled their weapons out.

"Archers and marksman, get ready." Go Young-Soon signaled for the students standing on top of the gymnasium to get ready to aim. "At my mark… Shoot!!"

When Young-Soon moved his hand down, the students shot their arrows and bullets. A rain of them fell on the monsters, wrecking them relentlessly.

The bows and arrows used were stronger than the normal ones since they were common and uncommon items and could deal damage to the otherwise tough monsters' bodies. As for the actual guns, some looked extremely advanced and shot weird-looking light bullets while others had a more normal appearance and bullets.

In a matter of seconds, the few monsters that escaped were completely obliterated.

"Haha! Isn't this too easy?!" One of the students said as they pulled their bows back. "They can't even get 5 meters close to the gymnasium."

"Yeah! At this rate, we will kill them all without the need to fight up close." A female student nodded her head.

It was indeed true that everything was going according to plan. The trio ahead was dwindling the numbers of the enemies while the rest of the students were dealing with whatever was left.

However, what most of these students didn't realize was that, Talon, Hyun-Jae, and Chin-Hwa while extremely strong weren't invincible.

"Hah… Hah!!" Talon's face was covered in sweat and a huge amount of blood as he dodged and sliced with his spear. His appearance was wretched with the blood of his enemies and the small injuries he sustained from the continuous fighting.

He had completely forgotten how many monsters he killed. Notifications kept popping off one after the other, telling him that he killed and leveled up.

'They don't seem like they're ending!' He mused as he sidestepped and sliced a monster's head off before he kicked back, barely dodging another attack.

After fighting continuously for almost 20 minutes, Talon was naturally starting to get overwhelmed. Even with his monstrous stamina, the number of monsters didn't help at all. To deal with them, his body was pushed to his extreme and beyond. His muscles were continuously stretching and retracting as he did the most ridiculous movements possible to avoid threatening attacks.

Meanwhile, Hyun-Jae and Chin-Hwa were also facing the same problem, if to a lesser degree since most of the monsters seemed to be attracted to Talon because of his aura.

"You need to retreat, Talon. You can't keep going at this rate for long." Acrypha advised him as she floated over the place. Seeing him struggling made her frown visibly.

"I'm trying! They aren't letting me create an opening."

Even though Talon made sure to not dive deep into their lines, the sheer number of monsters still made it hard to retreat for a breather.

As he was like that, one of the flying monsters above his head suddenly screeched as it dived down aiming its claws at him. Talon was too busy fending off other monsters so he only noticed at the last second.

*Swish* fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Quickly, he spun around and sliced with his weapon. However, he was late.

"Ugh!"

The claws sunk into his shoulders and chest as blood gushed out. Then, the monster tried to lift him up in the air and fly with him.

"No, you won't!!" Talon changed his grip and stabbed the monster's abdomen, making it release him down.

'Oh no!! I didn't plan this much ahead!!' Clenching his teeth, Talon smashed into the ground and was quickly swarmed by monsters.

"TALON!!!" Hyun-Jae saw that happen and her eyes widened to the extreme. For a split second, her heart stopped beating.
