Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 116: Chapter 116- Zenith And Evolution (Part 2)

Talon was completely oblivious to these notifications as he was still in his own world. However, he was able to distinctly feel a change the moment that evolution occurred. Because, at the same time as it happened, the expansion of awareness in his mind field reached its peak.

Talon truly felt as if he was an invincible being within the confines of that place. Everything was extremely clear to him now.

'I can feel everything… I can see everything…' He thought to himself as he closed his eyes and left the feeling to leave its mark on his soul.

Oblivious to him, his blue irises were shining with a blue light at that moment, a very similar one to the light his enemy exuded through her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, the woman aimed her gun fully and finally exhaled a small breath as she put her hand on the trigger.

'This is perfect… He isn't swaying left or right. It's a perfect shot.' She thought to herself as she got ready to shoot.

She knew that this was going to be a perfect shot by every means. The wind had suddenly died down and the rain slowed as if it wanted her to take that shot and kill Talon. However, she ignored all of that and focused on her target.

"I wanted to use you to reach my goal… But, you're simply too dangerous to risk not killing you. I won't make the same mistake. Never again. Goodbye." She murmured with a complicated expression as she finally pulled the trigger.

*BANG*

The bullet exited the muzzle and immediately vanished from sight, crossing a huge distance in a matter of a few fractions of a second.

There was no way Talon could feel that bullet, not even if he was at his peak condition, let alone in such a situation where he was at death's doors.

"TALON!" Acrypha felt her heart stop for a moment as she heard the gunshot echo in her ears.

Everything slowed down to a halt for everyone… Everyone except Talon.

As he swam in his own head, the blissful feeling he was in suddenly vanished as he was pulled back into reality again.

His eyes slowly opened, revealing a flashing glint of blue light that quickly vanished. At the same time, an image flashed in Talon's head.

In that image, he saw himself walking, in the same exact place he was in right now. Everything was the same, then, out of nowhere, blood splashed out of his head in an extremely gory scene as he fell to the ground.

Then, the image completely vanished and he came back to the real world again. But, this time, he felt completely different. All of his senses were suddenly extremely alerted and he felt his body move on its own.

He didn't know why, but he simply could only follow that instinct and let it do what it wanted. The moment he let go of the resistance, his head suddenly tilted to the side.

*BOOOOM*

A split second after he did that, he felt a gush of air glossing over his skin as a bullet passed beside him, hitting a random tree trunk.

'Wha…' Seeing that, the woman was completely frozen in her place, in pure shock.

The same could be said for Acrypha who witnessed what happened in far greater detail than the enemy.

'Why did it not hit?!' The woman screamed in her head. The shot was perfect by every means. Hell, it was perhaps the best shot she had ever taken using that weapon. Yet, she didn't see blood splash or skull shards fly everywhere.

Instead, Talon had suddenly moved his head, dodging the bullet.

'No, no, no. Did I miscalculate? Even then, it should've not been by such a far margin. He would've not been able to dodge it completely! What is going on?'

Both of them blinked as they tried to wrap their heads around it. Especially, Acrypha. She had seen how Talon moved and she was sure it wasn't a coincidence.

'Was that a fluke?'

Unable to answer that, she looked at the woman again who was frantically aiming her weapon again to shoot another shot.

'I only have 3 more bullets! Dammit! I can't take any chances!' Clenching her teeth, she put her finger on the trigger.

With three bullets left, she had no choice but to aim for his body and try to bring him down by pure force.

*BANG*

She shot another shot, expecting a certain hit. Only for her expectations to be shattered again the next second.

Talon suddenly sidestepped, dodging the bullet with perfect motion.

"Wha…" The girl lost her ability to speak for a moment. It wasn't a coincidence at all what happened. For some reason, Talon was starting to dodge her attacks out of nowhere.

Meanwhile, Acrypha had a completely different thought process… One that perhaps gave her a bigger shock.

"He… could see it…" She murmured.

This time, she had seen it clearly. Talon's movement was so swift and perfect that she knew it wasn't just a fluke. He knew where the bullet was going, when it was going to reach him, and how to effectively dodge it.

Those weren't things that he could do at his level with pure eyesight. He had to be able to do something far above that to know how to dodge.

'Something far above… An ability to sense the bullet before it reaches him… Wait…' It suddenly hit Acrypha.

'Don't tell me…' She murmured as she quickly flew toward Talon and touched his hand. Since the latter had no resistance at all, she was able to easily see what he was seeing at that moment.

Reading through the notifications, she understood everything.

'Future Sight… That's his skill evolution?' She asked herself.

For a skill to evolve when reaching level 5, it was common knowledge. But, there were many variations of every single one that it was basically almost impossible to predict what a skill or an ability could evolve into.

In Talon's case, his ability 'Enhanced Focus' evolved in a very abnormal manner.

'Seeing the future… At such an early level? Where are you even going with all of this?' She frowned hard as she looked up at the pulsating core gate.

Her eyes carried a profound coldness. 'Where do you to carry him, huh? What is it that you want from Talon?'

At this point, she knew that Talon was extremely favored by the core gate for one reason or another. But, after everything that happened, Acrypha couldn't simply be happy with these powerups without thinking about the possible bad side.

She knew very well how conscious and cunning the core dimension is. It knew everything, everywhere, all at the same time. It controlled the fate of every single creature, every speck of dust, and even the movement of the wind.

So, if it chose to help Talon this much… Then it definitely wanted something from him… Something so important and pivotal that it was ready to provide him with all the means possible to reach it.

'This isn't going to be good. Wherever fate is carrying him, it's not going to be a nice end. Never did the Core Dimension take interest in someone and it ended nicely.' Balling her fists, Acrypha stared down at her human.

She knew that he was special, extremely special. It was the reason why they even met in the first place. But, she never knew that Talon was this important nor how he would break so many rules as he soared up.

As Acrypha was having these conflicting thoughts, Talon was still moving forward. The speed of his steps was slowly increasing as his body slowly regained some energy. During the last few minutes, his injuries healed and he was able to regain the ability to sense, which also carried back a lot of pain.

Having almost ten times the healing speed of a normal person was a blessing and a curse.

*BANG*

The second shot was fired and Talon simply dodged it as if it was nothing again. He didn't do any exaggerated moves, just simple sidesteps.

*BANG*

Finally, the last bullet flew and completely missed the mark again.

'This is ridiculous!!'

At this point, the woman was completely losing her composure. Her face paled as she quickly rummaged through her pockets, searching for anything she could use to hit him.

But, there wasn't much she could use at that moment. Time was running out as the fire was eating the entire forest.

Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a plan, only to realize… There wasn't really a plan.

'I need to run!'

So, she quickly stood up and turned around to escape. The situation had spiraled completely out of her control in less than a second. Everything she built so far was crumbling down in front of her eyes.

Talon lifted his head up and looked at the woman as she started running away. Immediately, his eyes widened.

'She's… running?' He asked himself.

When he realized that it was the case, he felt rage boil in his head again. "YOU! I WON'T LET YOU GO!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs as he quickly summoned his Aetheris Blades and made them follow her. Then he quickly dashed forward, ignoring the blood that exploded from his body the moment he made those sudden moves.
