Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 210: Chapter 210- Trick Or Trick (Part 2)

"You know, I have to admit. You are a terrifying individual, Talon. In my life, very few people were able to make me think twice about what I should do with them. You're one of them." Hyun-Ki smiled as he approached one of the kids as he put his hands on the weapon.

"That fear that you inflicted on me is something I have never felt before. That's why, I decided to give you a taste of your own medicine. You see, all these little children came here today with your parents to put up a show for you. They just gotta aim it right, and then… *BAM*!" With his hands, Hyun-Ki made an explosion sign that made Talon frown.

"These are innocent people, you twisted fuck." He said.

"Don't worry, I might be a little heartless, but I'm not a monster. Once these children kill their parents, they will follow them right after that. I wouldn't want to see tears on their adorable faces." The maniacal smile on his face sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Nobody could imagine that a monster like this could exist in the world. They could see it all over his face, he wasn't pretending at all. That was what he genuinely believed and it made it even more terrifying to hear him speak.

"Now, shall we start?" Hyun-Ki smiled as he was about to snap his finger. However, at that moment, Talon lifted his hand as he yelled. "Stop!"

"Hm? You have something to say?"

Talon looked down with a dark expression as he clenched his teeth. "... Don't do it."

"Oh, am I hearing a plead? How surprising!"

"You want to kill me, right? Then do it and don't put innocent lives in this."

"Talon!" Hyun-Jae exclaimed as she looked at him with shock.

"It's fine." He gave her a glance before he turned around. "I can surrender. But, you have to promise that you aren't going to kill them!"

All the students looked at Talon with varying degrees of worry and shock. But, nobody dared to speak as they were far too terrified to even utter a word.

Seeing their leader in such a way made them feel different.

On the other hand, Hyun-Ki was on cloud seven. 'Yes! That's it! That look! The look of defeat! I love it, I love it!

That's what I wanted to see from the start but ended up almost dying because of it. It's still worth every risk to see a monster cower back in fear.'

His heart raced wildly as an almost intoxicating feeling surged through his body. But, since he knew that the situation was still not guaranteed yet, he quickly regained his composure.

"Hmm, that isn't enough though. I'm sorry to say this, but even if you die, your people would still be a problem to deal with."

"..."

"However, if all of you surrender, I can reconsider my intentions."

"Bastard, don't overes-" Chin-Hwa was about to snap on Hyun-Ki. The irritable smile on his face made the cold prince clench his fists tightly.

However, Talon signaled for him to stay silent before he stepped forward. "My group isn't a threat to you and you know that. They will just leave and go back to Seoul as if nothing happened."

Talon and Hyun-Ki stared at each other silently for a few seconds before Hyun-Ki turned around and looked at the girl. "Aim the gun at his head."

"Wait! Wait!!" Talon yelled before the kid could take action.

"Everyone or no one," Hyun-Ki replied in a cold tone. He didn't leave any other choices for Talon.

The latter's expression changed again as he bit his lip. He couldn't feel any more frustration from the situation. Both choices were horrible and quite frankly terrifying. Seeing this many innocent lives die was soul-crushing even by the standards of this world.

But, was it worth surrendering to Hyun-Ki for their sake? That was the dilemma that he found himself in.

"So, what is your choice?" Hyun-Ki asked. "Oh, by the way, don't even try any funny things like attacking me. I have several snipers aiming at all of you. While it might not kill you, I'm sure it would pluck many other less fortunate ones."

"..."

"It is over, Mr Talon. The sooner you accept that, the better. Attacking this place was the worst mistake you could've ever made."

'Checkmate, this time it is for certain. As long as I keep my distance and make sure he doesn't do anything, he is completely stuck. All he can do is give up or run away. While the first one is optimal, I would be quite entertained if he did the second."

Just imagining the broken look on Talon as he abandoned his group just to save his own life. It was something that brought Hyun-Ki great excitement.

"I understand… We are going to surrender." The young man spoke in a quiet tone.

Snapping out of his daze, Hyun-Ki's grin widened. "Is that so? Perfect! Hahahaha! Absolutely perfect! Even when you are met with demise, you still put your morals ahead of you.

I wonder what your group thinks of that, hm?"

Staring beyond Talon, all he could see were defeated expressions. Nobody dared to look up for even a second.

"Oh, no one is considering escape as an option? I'm quite surprised by how loyal your people are. It seems they are all ready to follow you wherever you go, Talon. You are truly a great leader."

"Just get this over with."

"Hahaha, let me savor it for a moment, would you? I have never been this happy before. It's truly a great day!"

As he laughed loudly, Hyun-Ki looked down as he started searching through Talon's group for a certain person. Eventually, his eyes fell on a blonde girl standing close to him. He couldn't see her expression quite yet but he didn't care.

"Well, I have a great idea on how we should go about doing this. Since I can't really approach you or fight you face-to-face. Why not finish what we started yesterday? It would definitely be far more entertaining for me. Miss Sophie!"

His words made the girl lift her eyes up as if she realized he was talking to her. The two looked at each other before he finally spoke.

"Tie him up."

Those few words made Sophie freeze for a second before she turned toward Talon and channeled her Aetheris without any hesitation. Her eyes seemed rather unfocused as she dazedly formed a long white string and then made it wrap around Talon.

"Hahaha! Perfect, make sure he cannot escape it."

"You bastard!! Don't put my daughter in this!!" Evan yelled as he tried to rush forward, only to be stopped by Hyun-Jae. "Stay back, you will get yourself killed." She said coldly.

"What?! But, he is going to kill my daughter!!"

His desperate cries made Hyun-Ki scoff. "You should listen to her, Mr Evan. I am quite displeased with what happened yesterday so I might not be able to control myself. In fact, why even wait? Approach me, now." With a single order, Evan lost control of his body as he started monotonously walking toward Hyun-Ki.

Meanwhile, Talon fell to the ground with his arms, legs, and even mouth completely wrapped in strings. He struggled for a while before he gave up and remained motionless.

"Now, come here, Miss Sophie. Let me make sure I can see this happen from the perfect angle." He said as he pointed at her.

Naturally, Sophie followed his words and approached him before she stood next to him.

"Cut one of his arms off," Hyun-Ki ordered.

"What?! This wasn't a part of the deal!!" Hyun-Jae interjected.

"Hm? What deal? Our deal didn't include what kind of things I'm going to do to you. It's all in my control now. Cut his left arm off, now."

With that order in motion, Sophie lifted her hand up and pointed it at Talon. Then, she tightened her fist, making the strings that surrounded Talon's body tighten. Slowly, he felt his body being crushed by the pressure.

"Mmm…" The young man groaned in pain as small droplets of blood leaked through the strings.

The pressure grew as Hyun-Ki's smile widened. He couldn't contain himself from laughing.

"What an amazing scene! This is truly the perfect ending to this conflict! I love it! Hahahaha-" As he laughed maniacally, Hyun-Ki suddenly heard a brief noise coming from his side.

*Swish*

His face froze as he turned around confusedly. There, he could see a very thin string floating in the air near him. A trace of blood could be seen on the tip of it. His eyes then slowly trailed to the side, only to see something far more shocking.

"... Huh?" He made a small, confused whimper that blended well with the sound of blood gushing out like a broken hose.

His right arm fell to the ground completely limp. Then, before he could even make a reaction, the string suddenly moved again as it sliced through his legs with great ease.

Hyun-Ki's body fell to the ground, oddly silent for the first few seconds as he incomprehensibly stared at Sophie.

The latter stared down at him with a cold, apathetic glare. Her unfocused, dazed look was nowhere to be seen.

"Well... That was easy." She said with a scoff.

Before he could even question what happened, the pain finally assaulted his head as a blood-curdling scream escaped his mouth that shook the entire base.

"... AAAAAAGGHHHHHH!!!"
