Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 176: Chapter 176- Swarm Of Rats

Hyun-Jae nodded her head as she picked up her bag and followed after him. Meanwhile, the guards were instructed by Sophie to bring the vehicles along with them.

"Why don't you let me bring wherever you're intending to go, Talon?" Sophie asked confusedly.

"Moving on foot is faster than those cars." He replied.

"Oh… Wow, how strong are you? I couldn't see your movements when you stole their weapons."

"Well, I'm trying my best." He replied as he shook his head.

"He is the strongest human alive," Hyun-Jae spoke. "By a long mile too."

"What? How can you know for sure? There could be far stronger people than me out there."

"Am I supposed to believe that there is another human out there that can kill a giant sea Kraken with one single attack and survive?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"... Ok, you have a point," Talon replied as he realized he couldn't retort at all to her words.

He also suspected that no one else on earth rivaled him in terms of strength. After all, Acrypha had told him that his talent was one of a kind even by the standards of the Higher Dimensions. So, if someone of his level existed on earth then there was something wrong going on.

"What?! A Kraken?! Those exist?" Sophie blurted out in shock. "Oh my god! I didn't know you were already that amazing, Talon!"

Out of excitement, Sophie jumped on his back as she hugged his neck.

"Hey…" Talon murmured.

'She has always been touchy. Though, she had never touched my face before for some reason.' Talon thought to himself with a frown.

"Get off," Hyun-Jae spoke coldly, putting all of her aura on Sophie.

"Hmm, no~"

"This isn't the place nor the time to play around. We need to reach the warehouse." She replied coldly. "Unless you don't take things seriously, then you're as good as a dead weight."

Her words were harsh and blunt. So much so that it made Sophie's smiley face flinch for a moment before she released Talon and landed on her feet.

"Ok…"

The two glared at each other secretly while Talon's eyes wandered away from the duo as he noticed something.

"Hey, Hyun-Jae."

"Hm?"

"Did we clear this street?" He asked.

"Yeah, a few days ago. Chin-Hwa and his group took care of it, why?"

Hearing that, Talon squinted his eyes as he slowly channeled his Aetheris and summoned the two Aetherial Blades.

Sophie looked at the weapons with an impressed look. 'How many things is he hiding… What are these flying blades?'

At this point, Sophie was certain that the Talon in front of her was far from the man she knew a few years ago. Everything about him, from his appearance to his aura, presence, and even his attitude had changed drastically.

But, that didn't mean that she hated this change. If anything, it intrigued her far more than ever before. Seeing her beloved grow filled her heart with pride.

"It seems we have some company." He said as he pointed with his finger in one particular direction and the two blades immediately flew there. The place he pointed at was a manhole cover on the other side of the street.

The Aetherial Blades flew till they were right above it before they halted. Then, it was completely silent. Talon turned to Sophie and signaled for her to make the guards stop the vehicles and go completely silent.

The latter immediately lifted her hand, making the entire group of vehicles stop. Then, Talon gave Hyun-Jae a glance and she immediately understood what he wanted to do. Pulling her sword out, she slowly walked a little bit far away from him as she started channeling her lightning.

A few seconds passed peacefully before something happened. The manhole cover suddenly started shaking and a loud noise rumbled through the entire area. The sound was extremely high-pitched like a cluster of monstrous screeches.

Almost instantly, the manhole cover was blown dozens of meters in the air. Then, out of that hole, a few heads peeked out. The monsters' pitch-black eyes stared around crazily. Their appearance was distinct even with their considerably giant sizes.

'Rats?'

The moment their eyes fell on Talon, they completely lost their minds as they screeched and exited the hole. One after the other, a swarm of rats invaded the area. Talon shook his head as he quickly moved the Aetherial Blades.

*Swish*

The two flying weapons cut through the air as they pierced through the monsters with ease. Blood splashed everywhere as the blades quickly turned around and flew toward their next targets.

In a few seconds, the two blades rampaged through the swarm of rats. At the same time, Hyun-Jae threw multiple Lightning balls toward the monsters, burning dozens of them.

"Hyun-Jae, take care of that side, I will take care of this one," Talon instructed her as he pulled his spear out.

"Got it."

"I can help too," Sophie said.

"Ok, take care of that side if you can. Just call for help if you get overwhelmed." Leaving those words behind, Talon dashed forward as he closed the distance between him and the monsters before he swung his sword.

*BOOOM*

The sheer power of the swing sent the rats flying in the air as their bodies exploded with blood. Facing one of Talon's slashes with their considerably fragile bodies was impossible. Then, he swung it again and again at a quick rate. Each attack wrecked the swarm of monsters, killing many of them.

Notifications appeared and disappeared quickly in his retina without a moment of rest. Not even a single rat was able to reach Talon.

On the other side, Hyun-Jae was also completely overwhelming her side. Her speed and sword skills coupled with her Lightning Manipulation made her the perfect counter to huge numbers of enemies. The moment her lightning attacks touched a single target, they would spread all around, killing multiple in the process.

'Their numbers are quickly dwindling. I guess there weren't that many of them.' She thought to herself as she stabbed a rat before pulling her sword out and decapitating another.

As she was like that, her eyes noticed something interesting happening on the other side. Looking to the side, she saw Sophie.

She was facing the rats as she clapped her hands together. Then, when she pulled them away, several weird white strings appeared in the palm of her hands, connecting them together in a complex net.

Then, she spread her hands quickly, stretching the strings far and wide.

"Good night~" With a smile, she suddenly threw her hands forward. The moment she did, the strings flew in the air as they immediately spread across the entire area, covering all the rats that swarmed her.

The moment the strings fell on them, Sophie clasped her hands again.

*Swish*

Almost instantly, the strings dissected the rats with ease. The creatures were turned into small cubes of disgusting flesh. All of them died at the same time.

"Nice!"

'Interesting power.' Hyun-Jae thought to herself. 'Her stringers are extremely sharp.'

"Good job, Sophie," Talon said as he killed the last few rats.

"Hehe, thank you!" Stay updated with m,v,l,e,mpy,r.

"You're pretty strong yourself." He said.

"Are you proud of me?" She asked with a smile as she approached him.

"Yeah, you did great." He replied before he turned around. "Now, if this isn't weird. I'm pretty sure we cleared the entire area. Where did they come from?"

"We didn't check the underground sewers system. That's probably where they came from."

"Oh, but why did they show up now? Most of these rats are gigantic, they definitely look mature." Talon said as he crouched down and inspected one of them with his eyes.

"Did they smell our presence?" Sophie asked.

"Could be… I guess this is a good reminder to check the sewer systems."

'Damn, that's going to be a whole other problem to solve now. Might hinder our plans a little. But, we can't let any sewer dwellers live under Seoul.' He thought to himself as he turned around.

"For now, let's go back. We will check the underground later. It's going to take some time if we want to make sure they're completely clean."

"Yeah," Hyun-Jae replied.

"Wait, I have been hearing both of you talking about clearing Seoul. Are you really trying to do that?"

"We're trying to turn the entire city into a base. It's a long mission that we've been working on for over a week now. It might take a few months though."

"Wow, that's an ambitious plan. If you clear Seoul, this place will become the biggest human base in South Korea and even in Asia."

"Right… So you did get in contact with the outside world, I assume?" Talon asked.

"Yeah, we did get some news from neighboring countries. But, Europe and the rest of the continents are still a mystery to us."

'So I was right on the bullseye when I suspected that Human Society is already in contact with the outside world. I will have to keep that in mind once we reach them.' Talon mused.

"Let's leave."
