Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 71 - - Brutal And Bloody (Part 1)
The seconds passed slowly for Hyun-Jae as she waited for Talon anxiously. She didn't even notice her hands shaking subtly. Her heart was starting to race ever-so-slightly with each passing moment she couldn't see him appearing out of the destruction safe and sound.
Her mind didn't even register that she was this terrified of not seeing Talon. She was too occupied with him to even care about what she was feeling at that moment let alone question the behavior she was exuding.
'Where are you? Don't make it any longer or I will go down there!' She thought as she held herself as composed as she could in front of the students. She didn't want to show them anything that would break their spirit or terrify them.
*BOOOOM*
Her only indication that Talon was still alive was the buildings continuously crumbling one after the other followed by the howls of pain coming from the monsters. The situation seemed to be moving in the right direction that Talon planned.
'4 more houses…' She thought to herself.
***
Meanwhile, Talon had already finished the sixth building and everything was working out perfectly. The monsters had no awareness to avoid his traps each time so they fell into it like the brainless beasts they are. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"What brought you here, Chin-Hwa? Are the others ok?" He asked as he continued moving.
"They're fine. Is the president fine? I came here to check on her since she didn't come back." He replied in a cold tone.
'I'm surprised he is able to keep his cold and aloof aura even though I'm carrying him like a sack of potatoes.' Talon raised an eyebrow as he shook his head.
"We faced some problems and it's taking us a while to finish the mission. The president is fine."
Hearing that, Chin-Hwa exhaled a long breath of relief as he felt his anxious heart calm down.
'So the president is really fine… Thank god…' He closed his eyes for a moment as he felt overwhelming happiness fill his heart.
*BANG*
Destroying another pillar, Talon looked down. "It was honestly a really dumb idea for you to come here. You could've died right there if I didn't pull you at the last second. What were you thinking? Look at what you did now. An entire horde of monsters is on our asses!"
Chin-Hwa: "..."
As much as he hated to admit it, Chin-Hwa knew that Talon had a point. He was so close to his death that for a second, he was certain that it was over. Yet, Talon saved him in the nick of time.
Seeing the subtle change in Chin-Hwa's expression, Talon sighed as he looked ahead with a deadpan look. "You were worried about her, weren't you?"
Chin-Hwa's eyes widened for a second before he quietly nodded his head.
"I see… Well, you're still a huge dumbass for rushing here to see her. Did you think it was going to be easy? Don't overestimate your abilities, brother." Talon said.
Chin-Hwa clenched his teeth in frustration as he looked away. "I don't need any advice from you."
"Well, suit yourself. You will hear the same things from Hyun-Jae." Talon replied.
"Huh? Hyun-Jae? Why are you calling the president by her first name?" The cold prince asked with a strong glare.
"It's nothing big, dude. I just use her name since it's easier."
'Damn, for a popular guy, he's surely one jealous goofball.' Talon rolled his eyes as he sliced through another pillar, killing more monsters on his way.
Finally, he reached the last building that he was going to destroy and was about to slice through it when suddenly…
*CRACK*
The building's walls started cracking before he could even hit them. The reaction expanded in a split second and before Talon knew it, the building was crumbling on his head.
'Shit!!' Feeling alerted, he quickly tried to dodge the falling debris as fast as he could. His inhumane reaction speed kicked in and his body jumped to the side as fast as he could. However, because he was a split second late, he found himself right under a giant boulder.
At the same time, Chin-Hwa's eyes moved up toward the rock. Then, without waiting a second, he channeled his Aetheris.
*BANG*
The rocks fell down and the rubble and dust rose into the air, creating a giant cloud.
"Cough! Cough! Cough! Fuck!!" Talon cursed as he inhaled a huge amount of dust. Blinking slightly, he looked around him only to be surprised by what happened.
He and Chin-Hwa were completely fine even though the debris fell on them. No, to be more precise, no debris fell directly on them and the reason for that was floating right above their heads.
A semi-transparent, slightly curved rectangular barrier was floating quietly. The debris that fell on it slid on both dies, avoiding Talon and Chin-Hwa. Looking down at the cold prince, Talon raised an eyebrow. The latter seemed like he was having a really difficult time keeping the barrier activated so he gave up and the barrier immediately vanished.
Some dust and debris fell on their heads, turning them white.
"Since when did you get this ability?" He asked as he stood up, dusted his clothes, and rustled his already messy hair.
"A few days ago." The latter replied briefly.
"Fair enough… Really useful ski-"
*GROWL*
"Oh! We need to move! Can you keep up?!" Talon asked as he turned around and started running, followed by Chin-Hwa.
"I'm not a weakling, bastard! Watch me!" The cold prince declared as he dashed after him.
Talon looked behind only to see Chin-Hwa barely a meter or two behind him.
'Damn, he really grew stronger the past few days, huh. He isn't messing around.' Talon thought to himself as the two moved through the streets back to the gymnasium.

"Hm?"
At the same time, Hyun-Jae's eyes caught the sight of two people running in the distance, followed by an ungodly number of monsters.
"Wait… Two?" Hyun-Jae squinted when she noticed the oddity.
One of them she could easily recognize which was Talon and the other was…
"Chin-Hwa? What is he doing here?"
She had a million questions in her head as to why he was here but seeing the hordes of monsters, she immediately put them to the side as she looked back.
"Get ready everyone! Hold your lines no matter what and don't let any monster get past you. As long as you're all standing like a strong barrier, nothing can break through!!" She said as she jumped down and unsheathed her sword. Electricity rushed through her body as it illuminated it a little before it moved to the blade of her weapon.
Then, she aimed the blade at the monsters as she charged it up.
"Fuuuh…"
"Hurry up!!" Talon yelled as he looked back. They were getting close to the area where they planned to fight them. In the distance, he could see Hyun-Jae's silhouette.
'Perfect, she's in time!' Talon smiled as he turned around. "At my count, you will jump to the side. Understood? Choose left or right, I don't care!"
"..." Chin-Hwa looked at him silently.
"Here we go, in 3… 2…1! Jump!!" Talon said as he quickly moved to the side.
Chin-Hwa followed suit. The next second, a blast of lightning flew through the area as it smashed into the lines of monsters.
*BOOOOM*
Monsters flew everywhere as they got blasted by the explosion while others were electrocuted and fried.
"Oh…" Chin-Hwa looked back with a shocked look. The hit was so strong that it completely shambled the front line of the horde and made the rest stumble and fall in a chaotic manner. It didn't kill many, but it certainly pushed the monsters back enough for Talon and Chin-Hwa to escape.
"So amazing…"
"Good job, Hyun-Jae!" Talon said as he reached her and turned around pulling his spear.
"I was worried for a second there! What happened?!" She asked as she stared at the monsters.
"Ask your little friend here. It seems he's the one that led this horde here."
"I'm…" Chin-Hwa approached Hyun-Jae with a complicated expression. "I didn't know that this would happen. I came here to check if you're fine…"
"And you left Shin-Il and Soomin alone?" She asked with a strong look on her face.
"I… They will be fine, I know that…" He said.
However, his words only made Hyun-Jae's gaze grow even angrier. But, in the end, she looked away and sighed.
"We will talk after all of this is over." She said, stepping forward. "We have to kill these things first."
"Well, since he's here, we might as well make use of him. You can fight, right?" Talon asked.
"I can!"
"Good, then your goal is to simply kill as many of them as possible without dying. We don't want to dive deeper into their lines so that we don't get surrounded. Got it?"
The cold prince nodded his head as he pulled his katana out. "Just don't stand in my way."
'He got the spirit for a big idiot.' Talon smiled in his head.
"Now, let's get this over with."
