Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 10: Chapter 10- Anomaly

Talon and Hyun-Jae immediately stood back to back as they got ready to fight. The others were already rushing inside but it will take them some time to reach them.

So, they had to fight these monsters alone for a while.

"Don't let them bite you," Talon said as he quickly dodged an attack before he sliced with his spear, cutting the monster's head with ease. At this point, his speed and strength far exceeded that of low-level Dimension Walkers. He can easily handle two or three of them at once.

"I know, you too." Ducking down, Hyun-Jae answered as she slid her leg, tackling two monsters before stomping on their heads ruthlessly.

Talon nodded his head with an impressed look as he dashed forward and swung his spear, slicing every monster in his way. A series of notifications appeared in his retina that he pushed aside.

[Ding!]

[you have killed level 1 Dimension Walker.]

[You have killed level 2 Dimension Walker.]

[You have killed level...]

[You have killed...]

[Ding!]

[You have leveled up. +2 free points.]

In a matter of moments, he was able to finish 4 monsters without a problem. Talon felt the rush of strength fill his body and the excitement that came along with it.

He was on cloud nine as he dodged, sliced, and kicked everything in his way. He didn't even notice that the number of Dimension Walkers increased from 9 to almost 30 as they fought. His mind solely focused on one thing and one thing only, to kill as many of them as he could.

A killing machine in a sense.

Hyun-Jae and the others eventually noticed Talon and they could only watch in pure shock. He far exceeded their expectations.

"He's amazing!" Shin-Il murmured with a stupified expression.

Chin-Hwa and Wan Yong were especially shocked since they had fought the monsters and knew how tricky it was to fight one of them let alone a huge group. Yet, Talon made it look easy which was in and out of itself an impressive feat.

Chin-Hwa's eyes especially flashed with a weird glint as they slowly moved to Hyun-Jae who was also staring at Talon with clear surprise.

"He... Why didn't you say that he was this strong?" Soomin asked as she tried to adjust her glasses.

"I forgot haha!" Shin-Il rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"Of course..." Rolling her eyes, Soomin looked ahead again. Wan Yong and Chin-Hwa were already clashing with the monsters. The basketball team's ace used his crushing strength to kick and punch any monster in front of him while Chin-Hwa used his Taekwondo black belt knowledge to immediately take down any Dimension Walker in front of him.

The fight continued getting more and more brutal by the second. Talon and Hyun-Jae were able to kill such a huge amount of them that they even left a pile of corpses lying on the ground.

"Hah... Hah, are these things never ending?" Wiping the sweat off his face, Talon quickly dodged one monster and kicked it to the ground.

"They seem like they're coming out of nowhere," Hyun-Jae murmured as she clenched her teeth. She was starting to feel exhausted from the endless fighting.

Meanwhile, Acrypha, who was floating next to Talon, her expression was rather rigid which caught Talon's attention.

"Acrypha?" He spoke.

The girl didn't respond immediately and instead started looking around before she turned to Talon. "Those Dimension Walkers are about to be the least of your problems."

"Huh? Why?"

Before Talon could even respond, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the warehouse. The sound was akin to the buzzing of a fly or a mosquito except a hundred times louder and more terrifying.

At the same time, all the Dimension Walkers suddenly stopped attacking the group and stood in their places.

"What the fuck is going on?" Wan Yong murmured with a frown as he noticed the odd behavior these things were showing. They immediately stopped moving as if they feared something they didn't see. Akin to weak animals cowering in fear at the appearance of a predator.

"Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this!" Shin-Il shuddered when he heard the sounds and immediately grabbed into Soomin who was also terrified to the core. She had never heard such sounds before in her life.

Hyun-Jae immediately stood up and looked at the far distance, precisely at the deepest part of the warehouse. From there, something straight out of a nightmare came out that sent fear deep into their souls.

A gigantic mosquito-like monster loomed in the shadows with wings that spanned an ominous darkness. Its needle-like proboscis resembling a serrate blade, gleamed with a malevolent hunger. The creature's body, swollen with red blood, pulsated with an eerie glow, casting a sickly aura in the gloom. Its incessant buzzing, a disconcerting symphony, filled the ears of the group and made their hearts race. With every beat of its enormous wings, it unleashed a whirlwind around it.

Its eyes were completely emotionless, reflecting the image of whatever was around it. In this case, the young humans in front of it.

"... What the hell... is that?" Talon asked with widened eyes. Never in his life did he see anything as repulsive and as terrifying as this mosquito. With its human-sized body, it was truly the work of a nightmare manifesting in reality.

Without waiting for their reaction, the monster quickly flew toward them at an alarming speed. Its wings move so fast, that they can barely be seen.

"Move, Talon!" Acrypha yelled to the dazed Talon.

The latter quickly shook his terror when he noticed the monster approaching him with its stinger pointed at him, ready to pierce his body, he quickly used his spear to defend himself.

*CLING*

The creature's stinger clashed with the shaft of the spear, pushing Talon back.

"Ugh!! So... Strong!!" He grumbled under his breath as he tried to push the monster back. A struggle between the two started, one that Talon was losing clearly.

Suddenly, the mosquito's blade moved, sliding on top of the spear before it reached Talon's hand.

*Swish*

"AGH!!" The stinger sliced his wrist open with ease as blood exploded everywhere. Jumping back, Talon grabbed his wrist with a pained expression. He felt the blood dripping from his hand slowly. However, it didn't last long as it stopped a few seconds later due to Talon's high health stat.

"Are you ok, Talon?!" Hyun-Jae rushed toward him.

"No! I'm fine! Focus on the monster!" Talon yelled quickly as he looked around him. The abomination had just disappeared into the darkness again before he could locate it.

'Where is it?!' Grabbing into his spear, he lifted it up so he could move it as fast as he could.

"I would tell you where it is if I could. But, I can't." Acrypha said with an annoyed expression. She hated that she couldn't help Talon much from her position.

"It's fine. I will kill this thing myself." He replied as he continued looking around.

"hey! stand back to back so that everyone is looking at an angle. Don't let anything past your eyes! It could be anywhere!" Talon said as he signaled for Hyun-Jae to join them.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I'm going to bait it out of its hiding spot. You guys try to attack it the moment it comes out!" Talon said as he ran away from the group and jumped on top of a crater to get a better look at the place.

"Now, come out, bastard! I know you want to suck my blood!" He yelled, trying to catch the monster's attention. He wasn't sure if that was going to work, but he was trying. Surprisingly, it did as the next second, a silhouette flew out of its hiding spot as it attacked Talon from the back.

'Got you!'

The latter noticed it at the last second as he quickly slashed with his spear. Everything happened in a split second. The monster's stinger sliced Talon's left arm as his spear's blade glossed over the monster's body, barely scratching it.

"Ugh!" The stinging pain from the injury made Talon groan.

Meanwhile, the others have already seen what happened and immediately followed after the insect.

'They saw where it went! Good!' With that in mind, Talon quickly jumped from one crater to another to follow them as he kept an eye on his surroundings.

A few seconds later, the monster appeared again as it attacked Talon from the side.

'It's really after me, isn't it?' Cursing inwardly, Talon quickly rolled on the ground, dodging the stinger as the mosquito flew past him.

"I got it!" Hyun-Jae moved nimbly as she jumped in the air and kicked the mosquito with the hill of her foot, sending it stumbling on the ground.

The monster buzzed weakly from the hit as it quickly stood up and flew away. This time, it didn't vanish and instead did something unexpected, it span around the warehouse before it suddenly started descending at top speed... Straight toward Shin-Il.

"Shin-Il, move!" Soomin screamed when she noticed what the mosquito wanted to do.

However, the boy was simply frozen in his place from terror. His eyes stared wide at the creature as it reached him.

'I'm dead...' A flashing thought appeared in his head.
