Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 150 - - Vendetta (Part 6)
The hit connected as Talon was blasted back a dozen meters or so. Hitting one of the shelves as he knocked down all the items stacked on it.
"Hahahahaha! Did you feel that?! It must've hurt!!" Cha Kwang yelled as he laughed maniacally.
"Ptuh…" Talon spat out a mouthful of saliva as he stood up. Then, he wiped his cheek with the back of his hand. A red trace of the punch could be seen on it.
'That was a punch and a half.' He thought to himself as he looked up. His eyes were now far colder than before. 'I guess I underestimated him a little bit. He is completely different from before.'
"That's the difference between us, bastard!!"
However, the young man ignored the sarcastic remark and channeled all the Aetheris in his body.
"I will be a little more serious now," Talon replied.
*Swish*
In the blink of an eye, Talon vanished from his spot and launched a powerful punch toward Cha Kwang. The latter grinned wildly as he did the same, the two fists connected violently. The impact from the hit sent a small shockwave across the entire supermarket.
Then, Talon punched with his other hand, only to end up getting stopped by Cha Kwang. The two glared at each other before they jumped back at the same time and dashed toward each other again.
In a few seconds, they exchanged multiple punches at breakneck speed. Their arms appeared blurry to the naked eye. Each punch connected with the other as neither of them was able to push the other back or overwhelm them.
'Is it me or is his strength only growing with each passing second?' Talon mused with a cold look on his face.
Even though they had been fighting for almost a minute, Cha Kwang was only getting faster and stronger.
"That's the true power of a sacrificial skill. It's a high-risk, high-reward deal. He will only keep getting stronger till the skill stops… That's when all of that accumulated debt is going to be collected all at once." Acrypha explained.
"That's… interesting…" Talon said as he dodged an attack and returned one of his own. The exchange was only growing violent the more it went.
*BOOOOM*
"I really didn't want to use more than this. But, I can't be bothered to wait for this bastard to crash!"
The reason Talon didn't want to use more of his strength was solely to avoid destroying the entire supermarket. Skills like Azure Flames and Tear of Reality were simply too destructive and could very much destroy this entire place beyond recognition.
He had plans for the building to be used in the future. With the sheer number of the survivors' group, the warehouse wasn't going to be enough. Not to mention the fact that Talon was contemplating the idea of doing something… Something that seemed like an absurd idea merely a few weeks ago.
'Cleaning the entire city of monsters… Turning it into a gigantic base for survivors from all locations of the country.'
Hearing that the first time might sound like a far-fetched dream, but, Talon felt that with time and as he grew stronger, the possibility of creating a stable base for humans didn't sound like an impossible idea.
Talon knew that the possibility of the Human Society in Gwangju being nothing but a trap for them was still present. If that happens, he knows that his only choice is to create his very own base, an entire society of humans built from scratch after the end of the world.
'Slowly… one step at a time. We can definitely do it. If I can create such a place, then I won't have to worry if I leave them. It will be a functional society on its own that doesn't require my presence to work perfectly.'
Even in the middle of a brutal fight, Talon's mind was already imagining what his next steps should be. Setting up a plan and paving a path.
"Why do you have that look on your face, huh?!"
*BANG*
Launching a powerful punch at Talon's face, the latter stopped it as he clenched Cha Kwang's fist. The latter clenched his teeth as he tried to pull it back.
"Planning ahead for after I put you 6 feet under," Talon replied as his left hand suddenly ignited with a blue flame.
'What?' Cha Kwang's eyes widened when he saw that.
Then, without giving him a chance to event each, Talon slammed the palm of his against Cha Kwang's chest.
"Burn in hell, you piece of shit."
The fire in his hand exploded powerfully as Cha Kwang was thrown back.
"AGHHHH!!!"
Falling on the ground, he started rolling around as he held his chest. The Azure Flames slowly spread across his entire body, burning his skin ruthlessly. Cha Kwang tried to kill it off with his hands but it only made it worse as it spread to his arms.
His inhuman shrieks echoed in the entire place, shaking the guards to their cores. Watching their leader burn alive with those mysterious blue flames was terrifying.
Slowly, the man burned alive, his skin turning scorched black before disintegrating, his blood boiled and vaporized and his insides turned into steam.
His frantic movements and screams continued for a while before he started slowly losing strength. His voice died down when his voice cords wore off.
"You… Fuck…. You…" Amidst his very last words, he looked at Talon through the flames. He looked like a terrifying demon, emerging from the deepest parts of hell.
In the end, the flames completely ate him away, turning him into mere ashes and those ashes vanished on their own, leaving no trace behind.
[Ding!]
[You have killed a level 19 human.]
[Sacrifical Skill has been detected.]
[Ding!]
[+3 strength, +2 healing.]
"Oh, I gained points from this idiot?" Talon raised an eyebrow.
"Sacrificial skills increase the value of the individual. So, in a sense, you fought a level 25 human, so you received some points for it."
"Pretty nice. At least killing him was beneficial in some way."
"AAAGHHH!! BOSS!!!"
At that moment, Talon heard the guards yell at the top of their lungs. Rushing toward the spot where he burned they surrounded it as they tried to find any trace left of him.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THE BOSS?!!!!"
"So loud… I sent him to the deepest parts of hell where he belongs."
"..."
They stared at Talon with dumbfounded expression. Their eyes were wide and their mouths hanging open.
'Are they going to attack me?' Talon squinted his eyes before he took a fighting stance.
But, much to his surprise, the guards didn't pull out their weapons. Instead, as if they agreed on it beforehand, they all fell on their knees as they bowed their heads deeply.
"THANK YOU!!" They yelled at the same time.
"...?" Talon tilted his head confusedly.
"We're finally free! Thank you! Thank you for saving us!!"
"What? Saving you?"
"Yes! We finally got rid of that bastard! Thank you, good sir! We have been terrified of him for the longest time! We never really wanted to work for him! But, with his influence, he threatened us with our families!
We couldn't run away! Now, with him gaining even more strength, we were only left with the choice of serving him if we wanted to survive!" One explained with tears on his face as he wiped the snot off his nose.
"... Wow… Now that is unexpected." Talon murmured. "So, you want to say that you were also victims of Cha Kwang?"
"Yes! We are!"
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Here, stand up please, I feel your pain. It must've been tough." Talon added as he approached them and lent his hand to one of them with a kind smile on his face.
The guard smiled back nervously as he grabbed his hand and stood up. But, before he could even react.
*BANG*
A fist slammed against his face as he threw him to the side.
The guards flinched in shock as they retreated back in fear.
"Who the fuck will believe that? Do I look like I'm some kind of idiot to you lot, huh? You're all criminals who should be killed."
"No, sir, please wait!!"
"Shut up. You're now begging for your life. Did you listen to those women begging for their lives too while your scumbag of a boss toyed with them as he wished?"
Nobody dared to speak as they looked down with pale faces.
"Line up, I'm going to kill you one by one." He said.
"No, please! Spare us, sir! We're sorry! We're really sorry!!"
"I do not care. I said, line up." Talon coldly said as he pointed at them.
"Hey, Talon, hold on a second." At that moment, Acrypha, who was silent the entire time, spoke.
"What?"
"I think I have a better idea of what you should do with these things." She said in a mysterious tone.
"..."
Looking at Acrypha, Talon could easily see the weird glint in her eyes. With how much he knew her, Talon was certain that she had a great idea.
"Ok, what is it?"
