Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 162 - - Sea Hunter (Part 2)
Immediately, the creature released its prey and turned toward Talon with its two terrifying heads.
Then, like a bolt, it launched itself toward Talon as it opened its wide mouth, ready to swallow him whole. However, the young man quickly brandished his spear as he moved it forward.
One split second before they clashed, Talon changed the grip on his weapon and slashed horizontally. That's when he noticed it.
*Swish*
The spear's movement was way faster than he expected. So fast in fact, that Talon's eyes barely followed it even though he was looking at his hands. Then, he was met with a second shock.
*BOOOOM*
The momentum of the slash created a gigantic underwater shockwave that flew toward the monster fish.
Upon contact, the slash cut the monster in two as if it were made out of paper. Blood exploded from the monster's two severed parts and it died almost instantly.
[Ding!]
[You have killed a level 19 Sea Muncher.]
'Sea Muncher, huh?' Reading the notification, Talon squinted his eyes. The name sounded rather funny for a creature that looked like it came straight out of someone's nightmare. Then, his eyes shifted to the spear in his hand.
Even though the description of the skill indicated that it worked amazingly well in a water environment, he still didn't think it would make this much of a difference. He didn't even use much force in his arms and yet the attack was so terrifyingly powerful.
'So this is the effect of the boost.
But, in the end, it was still good news so he didn't dwindle on it much and looked around him.
The reason for that was simple, he had suddenly noticed multiple new auras entering his area of detection. The auras were numerous in number and were very similar to one another and to the monster he just killed.
Then, out of the darkness, the two-headed abominations emerged, looking as terrifying as ever. Their numbers were in the dozens and each one seemed maddeningly hungry for blood.
'The entire squad is here.' Gripping his spear tightly, Talon channeled his Aetheris as he activated Spearmanship and Future Sight.
Immediately, his irises lit up with a faint blue light as quick images of the future flashed in his brain. In a moment, Talon knew exactly where the monsters were going to attack him.
Future Sight was perhaps his most terrifying ability apart from the Azure Flames and the Tear Of Reality. Those were purely destructive. But, Future Sigh gave him a huge advantage over his opponents no matter the situation.
Knowing what your opponent was going to do before they do it is an advantage that can determine victory.
*Swish*
With that in mind, Talon dashed forward at top speed like a fish as he reached the group of fish. Then, he slashed multiple times with his spear. Waves of water currents were generated one after the other, blasting the fish back.
A series of ringing sounds filled his brain for a moment before he shut them down and quickly turned around. Even though his first few attacks killed a good number of the fish, the rest quickly moved all around him.
Floating in his place, Talon took a deep breath as his eyes turned extremely sharp.
'Time to get serious.' He thought to himself.
*Swish*
Without waiting, the monsters quickly dashed toward him from all angles. The young man didn't waste time and flew up, letting them smash against each other. Or that was what he thought would happen.
However, much to his shock, the fish were able to instantly change their direction as they rose up after him.
'Shit!'
Realizing his mishap, Talon tried to immediately recover as he slashed down. The attack cut through multiple abominations. The rest quickly lunged at him hungrily.
'I didn't know they had this fucking ability!!' Cursing, Talon quickly swam up as fast as he could with the fish in hot pursuit.
In a matter of moments, he reached the surface. But, instead of emerging outside, Talon suddenly changed his direction at the last moment.
*Splash*
Almost instantly, the fish tried to change directions too. But, they didn't account for an important detail.
*BANG*
The moment the front line of fish stopped, the ones behind them didn't react in time and smashed into them and then the line behind that one smashed into the second line. In less than a second, the entire group was thrown into chaos.
*Splash*
That naturally led to some of the fish flying out in the air as bubbles filled the entire surface of the river.
"What is happening?" Hyun-Jae watched the scene with a frown. Her heart was beating loudly from sheer worry, but, with her strong vision, she was able to see Talon's silhouette as he moved near the surface at top speed.
'What is he trying to do?' As she watched him silently, Talon suddenly dived deeper again.
In a few moments, he went 20 meters deep. Then, he adjusted himself so that his body would face the surface before he grabbed the spear with both hands.
'Oh boy, this is such a ridiculous idea I'm trying to do.' He thought to himself with a sigh.
Then, using all his strength, Talon started slowly spinning the spear clockwise. The rotation speed slowly accelerated with each passing moment. Meanwhile, the fish had fallen back into the water and dove toward the young man with far more bestial rage than before.
Meanwhile, the latter continued to accelerate the rotation, moment by moment. What started as a slow movement, turned into an extremely fast fan and kept going.
At the same time, a water current was forming in front of Talon. A whirlpool-shaped tornado manifested and grew bigger as the rotation speed quickened.
'Faster! I need it to be faster!' He thought to himself as he focused his entire strength on his arms. His veins expanded and his hands moved way quicker than before. Coupled with the boost in the spear's ability, Talon witnessed his idea appear in real life.
A gigantic whirlpool of water rose up to meet the monsters. All the momentum created so far came in one single moment as it smashed against the group of fish, completely capturing them. freewebnøvel.com
*Swish*
All the monsters started rolling around in the heart of the whirlpool as it slowly moved up. Meanwhile, the water current around it grew extremely violently, pulling in all the water around it.
"Huh…"
Outside, Hyun-Jae noticed that the boat was slowly starting to shake as the previously calm surface started becoming violent.
The girl didn't know what was happening down there and the grip on the rope naturally grew stronger. But, the 2-minute mark didn't come yet so she didn't try to pull it.
'This is Talon's work, I'm sure. He's the only one that can do things like this.'
With that belief in mind, Hyun-Jae's eyes moved back to the water as she noticed something odd.
The shape of the surface a dozen meters away from her was carved in as a circular whirlpool formed. Then, out of nowhere, dozens of gigantic two-headed piranhas were blasted into the air.
"Wha…" The girl's eyes widened as she watched the dissected, bloodied monsters rising in the air. Bits and pieces of their bodies were completely separated as if they were cut with a knife.
Then, what followed was a rain of blood poured on the area before the dead monsters fell down to the sea again with a loud splash.
Hyun-Jae quickly covered her face from the blood as she looked down again with a shocked expression. The entire area around the boat was turned into a sea of dead monsters.
The red color of blood covered every single inch of the area, turning it into a terrifying blood sea.
"..." Hyun-Jae couldn't find the words to describe what she was seeing.
*Splash*
Then, out of the water, a head popped up.
"Damn, are you ok, Hyun-Jae? I tried to go as far away from the boat as possible to do it but it still reached you." He pulled the oxygen mask off as he said.
"..."
"Hyun-Jae?"
"Yeah… I'm fine…" She shook her head as she replied. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah. That wasn't too bad. But, I don't know if that's the only type of monster living here. I'm going to continue roaming for a while before we call it a day."
'I don't think that's the only group of monsters in here. My guts aren't feeling at ease.' Floating silently above water, Talon contemplated that feeling he had a while before.
"Are you sure?" Hyun-Jae yelled at him.
"Yes, I won't take long. I think I have a few more minutes of oxygen available."
"Ok, but don't take too long and keep an eye on your oxygen level," Hyun-Jae warned him.
The latter nodded his head and put the mask on again as he dived down again.
'Let's see if my feeling is correct.'
