Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

The sound of loud footsteps echoed in the entire campus as the forest started crumbling even faster than ever before. Coupled with those loud footsteps were the inhumane shrieks of monsters, filled with terror and anger.

"T-The monsters…" One student murmured as he looked at the forest.

"You got to be kidding me! Not now of all times!!" Another said as they felt their hands shaking in fear.

Everyone realized that these monsters were heading toward them at a very fast pace and the reason for that was clear… Panic.

Because of these earthquakes and the continuous expansion of the earth, the monsters lost their mind in fear for their lives. Naturally, that also meant that they were going to go haywire and destroy anything in their way as they fled. Sadly for the survivors, they were in their way.

Meanwhile, Acrypha was floating high in the air as she stared into the distance.

'This expansion is really violent… Far more violent than I expected.' She thought to herself as she squinted.

She had seen an expansion process before and it was never this violent. Especially for a Low-D Dimension like this one.

"I can feel an abnormal amount of Aetheris in the air… Far more than what a Low-Tier Dimension should have. What is going on?"

Her eyes naturally went up to the Core Gate as she asked. The gate was acting very bizarrely. Its pulses were fast, extremely powerful, and very unpredictable. A behavior that only happens in Mid to higher-tier Dimensions.

Acrypha knew that this wasn't a coincidence. She had already thrown the idea that everything could be a coincidence out of the window long ago. Now, she was aware that this was going to be a very different expansion than she expected. One that perhaps will shatter her idea of what a process of this scale could be.

Meanwhile, down on the ground, the students were panicking at this sudden disaster that was about to strike them. On one hand, they had earthquakes that were closing up on them, and on the other hand, monsters were about to attack them. A horde that was perhaps far bigger than ever before.

To make it even worse, their two strongest fighters were heavily injured and were unable to move let alone battle.

"We're done for… We're all done for!"

"I don't want to die!" Another exclaimed with terrified looks on their faces.

Some were crying in fear while others simply looked up, in a daze. Their will to fight was slowly crumbling under this huge pressure. After all, the world was now showing them the true scale of their power.

Everything they've done so far, every achievement and every monster they killed… They were all nothing compared to true power. A power that can change this very world as it wishes.

How could they fight against such an absolute authority? It was simply impossible.

They can only sit there and witness how they're going to be but another disposable element in this massive change.

Or that was at least what they assumed was going to happen before someone suddenly yelled loudly.

"LISTEN TO ME, YOU IDIOTS!" Chin-Hwa's voice boomed in their ears, catching their attention. "Brandish your weapons! We're going to fight!"

His words caught them by surprise and made them forget their distress. Chin-Hwa stared silently at the survivors for a second before he continued. "Why are you all looking down? This is what we came here for! Stop being wimpy cowards! So what if the president and that man are still injured?

I'm here, that's more than enough to end this damn battle!"

His voice carried a strong energy to every student. It was very different from the energy that they felt from Talon or Hyun-Jae's speeches. It was more brutal and colder and it lacked any empathy.

However, even then, it oddly elevated their spirit. Something about his insults hurt their egos.

"I'm not a coward, goddammit!"

"Me neither! He's right, we came here to fight! Why are we being scared for?!"

"Let's fucking do it!"

It didn't take long for most of the students to lift their weapons up in the air. Seeing that, Chin-Hwa nodded his head as he turned around.

'Don't worry, president. I will fight in your stead! I won't let your hard work fall short!'

At that moment, out of the forest emerged a giant wave of monsters. The wave was so massive that for a second, the entire world was drowned in the noises they were making. Ears rang painfully from the sheer scale of it. The entire area was invaded in mere seconds, only leaving behind the place where the students stood.

But, even then, everyone stood their position according to the plan before all of this.

"Don't fall back and fight with every ounce of power in your bodies!"

The monsters rushed toward them, smashing against the first line of defense. The wave was massive and overwhelming. But, with sheer will, the defense didn't crumble from one single hit. The shields held back against the relentless attacks of the monsters. They bit, clawed, and jumped on the shields maniacally. It was clear they were terrified to no extent of the expansion and the earthquakes.

"Why… Are they… stronger than before?!" One of the students clenched his teeth as he pushed back with all his strength.

"Hold… On!! We can't… Let them break through!!"

The students' formation was simple. The first line was positioned in the form of an arc around the rest of the group. They worked as the best defensive line. Meanwhile, the students with stealth-related abilities would use that defense to attack secretly and kill as many as they could.

As for the rest of the students, they would use that opportunity to encircle the monsters and completely nullify their numbers advantage.

But, in this situation, it was a little different. Because of their terrifying numbers. The students couldn't possibly encircle the monsters as they were still coming out of the forest like an endless stream.

So, for such a situation, they had a different plan that Hyun-Jae told them about. A plan

made for such exact situations where they were being overwhelmed and had no way of actually ending their enemy swiftly.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

The stealth team used the time to penetrate the enemy lines and kill the weaker monsters since they posed the greatest threat due to their massive numbers. Any monster level 10 and lower was swiftly murdered the moment they were seen.

The process was extremely dangerous and many students found themselves unable to even move properly due to how crammed it was.

"AGH!!"

Some unfortunate ones couldn't hold on for long as they were attacked brutally by the monsters and killed on the spot.

"No!!!"

"Don't leave your position! We can't help them! Hold on!!"

The fight was brutal from the very start. Blood was shed from the very moment the clash occurred. Both sides sustained brutal injuries as the seconds passed. The survivors found themselves in a very dire situation. But, they didn't run or fear for their lives.

This was their moment, as bumpy as it had been, this was the true moment where they were going to truly change their fate. Many fell and perhaps even more will fall by the end of this battle. But, if they prevail over their enemies then there was a future for them.

It was far more than just a struggle for survival. It was a battle for a peaceful future for their kind.
