Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 163 - - Sea Hunter (Part 3)

The darkness of the sea engulfed Talon's body and completely isolated him from the world outside. No light, sound, or sensation reached him from beyond the surface. It was as if the moment he submerged himself, he left that world and entered a completely new world. MVLeMpYr-your-novel-source

A world that was mysterious, dark, and eerie. Yet, at the same time, it was uniquely fascinating. Just the feeling of floating in the absolute darkness with an endless abyss beneath him… Talon found himself incredibly intrigued by it. He felt like a small dot in a vast world.

Taking a few moments to take in that sensation, Talon finally looked down beneath him before he started slowly descending into the darkness of the abyss. His vision was limited and so was his senses. He could barely see 1/4th of the normal distance he could and it made him feel threatened… Far more threatened than usual.

'I kind of get why people fear the ocean… This is quite unpleasant.' He thought to himself as he continued moving down, crossing the 30-meter depth mark, and kept going.

'Holy shit, how deep is this place? The Han River was only 10 meters deep if I'm not wrong.' He thought to himself.

Talon was certain that after the expansion, the world not only expanded in size which was quite noticeable with how stretched the entire city of Seoul become… But, that expansion also changed the depth of most bodies of water.

He didn't know exactly how much that change affected the world, but it was definitely not a small one.

After moving for a little while longer, Talon finally reached the deepest part of this river. Touching the bottom of it, he lifted a small chunk of sand in his hand before examining it.

'This has completely turned into an extension of the ocean. Even the sand is different.' He thought to himself before he let the sand go and looked around him.

The place was completely quiet. Not even a single sound or noise reached him except for the deep gurgles of the ocean. So, Talon slowly started moving around a little. He walked across the river floor, searching for any indications of the presence of another life form.

Time passed slowly with nothing appearing in his vision. By the time Talon reached the second minute, he shook the rope to make sure that Hyun-Jae knew he was fine.

Then, he continued walking around for a while, exploring the place and enjoying himself a little.

'I've never experienced diving before so this is pretty fun.' Smiling to himself, he jumped around for a while before he finally looked up.

'I guess I was wrong. There is really nothing here. If there was, they would've already been attracted by the dead corpses and the blood around them. So, he decided to go back up to the surface.

'I only have 40 seconds left in my oxygen tank. Damn, I guess I had a little bit too much fun.'

With that in mind, Talon started swimming again to the surface.

Meanwhile, outside, on the boat, Hyun-Jae was waiting for him with a worried look on her face.

"Did he find something?" She murmured as she watched the rope.

Fortunately, she noticed that the pressure on the rope was slowly lessening which meant that Talon was rising to the top. That made her exhale a small, tense breath.

"Ok, it seems he's fine."

Unbeknownst to her, someone was floating right above her head. Acryphad had been watching the entire scene. Even though she was also very worried about her little human, she knew that Talon wouldn't be easily in danger even underwater.

'He really blended those things mercilessly.' Smiling to herself, suddenly, Acrypha's senses felt something in the far distance.

Immediately, her eyes moved from the rope to a particular direction… Precisely to the far west.

Then, her relaxed expression immediately changed to a huge frown.

"Oh no… Oh no, no, no… What… That can't be…" Her voice wavered as she quickly looked down. "Talon is in trouble, huge trouble!!"

Without wasting a single breath, Acrypha flew toward the water as she dived down. However, surprisingly, the water didn't seem to stop her or even touch her body as she flew down like a bullet.

In less than a second, she found Talon who was swimming up.

"Talon! Move fast, now!! There is something coming toward you at extremely fast speed." She said.

"Huh?" Talon looked at Acrypha confusedly before his eyes followed where her fingers were pointing.

Looking there, suddenly, a weird feeling filled Talon's senses. His heart rate increased as he turned around and silently started swimming up fast.

'What the fuck is following me? I can't sense its presence! Is it still too far away for me to detect it?' A thousand questions filled his mind as he swam up using all of his strength.

He felt a very cold sensation fill his soul. But, he didn't stop for a second to look behind him. In a matter of seconds, Talon was near the surface. Meanwhile, something behind him moved extremely fast as it slowly closed the distance between them.

Outside, Hyun-Jae was still completely oblivious to what was happening.

*Splash*

At that moment, Talon's head emerged on the surface and he quickly started swimming toward the boat.

"Hyun-Jae! Activate the boat and move! Something massive is following me!"

"What?" The girl was stunned for a moment before she quickly turned around and did what he asked before she turned around. She didn't have to ask any more questions to know that the situation wasn't good at all.

"Just start moving! I'm still held on by the rope!" Talon said as he continued swimming while looking behind him. A little bit far away from him, the surface of the water turned a degree darker.

"Damn it!" Hyun-Jae clenched her teeth as she quickly pulled the lever before twisting the boat around and started moving toward the edge of the bridge. Meanwhile, Talon was using all his strength to swim after her.

'The distance between us isn't growing… It's going to reach me.'

Even with his extremely fast swimming speed, the creature was way faster. Even with its incredibly large size, it didn't seem like it was hindering it.

Talon found himself in a completely bad situation no matter how he looked at it. He couldn't escape and he couldn't reach the boat in time. His only remaining choice was…

'Sigh… Fuck, I really don't want to do this…' Cursing under his breath, he suddenly halted swimming.

"Hyun-Jae!!!" He yelled. The girl turned around with an alert look on her face.

"I'm sorry for doing this. This thing seems quite strong and I need my full motion range to fight it." He murmured with a smile before he suddenly lifted the spear and severed the rope.

"Wha…" The girl's eyes widened to the extreme as she moved to the edge of the boat. "What are you doing?!"

But, before she could even hear an answer, Talon took a very deep breath as he threw the mask off his face and released the oxygen tank. He knew that the few seconds remaining in the tank would only hinder him.

Then, without hesitation, he dived down.

"Talon!!" Hyun-Jae exclaimed. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Her heart sank when she couldn't see him anymore. Instead, all she could witness was the giant dark figure closing up on where he was floating a moment ago. Its humungous presence sent a chill down her spine.

'This thing isn't something that can be fought underwater! It's at least level 35 or higher!'

"This idiot!" Cursing under her breath, Hyun-Jae turned around and halted the boat.

Then, she quickly took her shirt off, revealing a swimsuit she wore the entire time.

"I knew that he was going to do this!" She murmured as she wore the water tank and the mask before she jumped in the water.

Meanwhile, a good distance away from Hyun-Jae, Talon had submerged himself a good dozen meters before he stopped and looked ahead of him with a sharp glare.

A few seconds later, a silhouette appeared in his vision. Its gigantic frame totally towered over him and made the water around him even darker than before.

Looking slowly up as he traced its frame, he finally realized what this creature was. With its gigantic tentacles and its massive eyes that covered its entire body.

'A fucking Kraken…' Talon thought to himself as he instinctively tightened his grip on his spear.

Even when he was staring directly at it, he had no idea how he could actually fight such a massive thing… In the water. It was simply too massive.

By far the biggest living thing Talon had ever witnessed with his own eyes and that thing is now looking at him as its next prey.

"Rrrrrrr…" At that moment, the monster made a low gurgling sound before it started moving its long tentacles.
