Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 211: Chapter 211- Achieving Control

The sounds he made at that moment were so terrifying and gut-wrenching that it made everyone look away in repulsion. They were so inhumane and brutal. A limbless body cried as blood gushed out of his body, if that wasn't a nightmarish scene, then nothing was.

His body wiggled powerlessly as he struggled to even breathe or utter a single word. Tears and snot came out of his eyes and nose. Eventually, his screams slowly died down when his vocal cords were exhausted.

"AAGH!! AGH!! YOU…. BASTARDS!!! I WILL KILL!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!" Through his loud shrieks, he managed to say a few words.

His eyes glared at Sophie with endless hatred.

However, that latter completely ignored him as she summoned a few more strings and wrapped them around his mouth to stop him from speaking. All that he could muster at that moment were silent whimpers as he glared daggers at Sophie.

"Talon, are you ok?!" But, all she cared about at that moment was Talon who was still on the ground. With a small move of her hand, the strings untangled themselves, releasing him completely. "I'm really sorry, did it hurt too much?! I didn't know how much pressure I had to use." With a panicked look, she started inspecting his body.

The latter stretched his limbs with a smile. "I'm fine. You did a perfect job, Sophie." He said as he patted her head.

"I did?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah, that was perfect. You really sold that acting."

"Oh, hehe, well, it's my thing after all. I didn't know I could imitate a robot this well."

"Hahaha…" Talon laughed as he turned around to Hyun-Jae who approached him with a relieved look on her face.

"Hmm, what do you think?" He asked with a smirk as he touched his temple. "I'm quite smart when I want to be, no?"

His words made her laugh before she nodded her head. "I've already known that. Maybe less ridiculous and more cleverness would help though."

"We will work on that." Then, Talon turned to the rest of the group. "I'm quite impressed by how well everyone acted their role. We have really done a masterpiece right there. I almost believed that you were terrified for your lives."

The students cheered loudly in excitement.

"You're making me blush, leader, hehe…"

"I didn't know I could act. But now, I know what career I want to pursue when we rebuild this world."

"I was actually quite worried so it wasn't that hard to pretend I was scared."

Such comments kept coming out of their mouths as they talked to each other. Seeing that, Talon could only shake his head with a wry smile. Deep down, he felt proud of these people for how much they grew and improved. He could fully say that he can rely on them now and that was a great step.

"Hmm, now…" However, that smile slowly faded as he turned around. "Time to talk to this limbless trash."

Walking toward the struggling Hyun-Ki as he crouched down near him. The latter flinched as he stared at him.

"It's quite funny, right? Outsmarting you twice in two days. Tsk tsk, that's quite embarrassing, to be honest."

"... Mmmm!!!" Hyun-Ki groaned loudly as he tried to wriggle.

However, Talon stopped him as he grabbed his hair. Then, he lifted him up in the air. The latter screeched from pain but couldn't do anything.

"You think I didn't know that you were going to do something like this? It was easy to get you to set a trap like this and pretend that it worked. I knew that an egotistical idiot like you would never run away from a face-off even if it was played by your own rules. The only thing I had to do was to somehow stop you from trying to control anyone. Well, that turned out to be really easy."

Then, Talon moved Hyun-Ki so that he could have a look at Sophie. The latter smiled as she put her hand in her ear and pulled out two cottons. That made Hyun-Ki's eyes widen in shock.

"Pfft, hahaha! All we had to do was use cotton! It's so funny how such a simple trick worked out." Talon laughed coldly. "You had your fun spouting your evil monologue and couldn't even realize that we have already infiltrated the place and killed all your snipers before they could actually do anything."

As Talon said that, he looked in a certain direction as he signaled with his hand. Then, a red laser appeared in his hand. "Haha, it seems even they couldn't do anything. As for the rest of your army, well, where are they? Wait, don't tell me…"

With a pretended shock, Talon continued. "You left them on the other side of the city? Hahaha! Were you so confident that you would beat me that you didn't even bring them with you? That is quite sad~"

The more Talon explained what happened, the more Hyun-Ki started to lose his mind. With his muffled mouth, he screeched, cried, groaned, cursed, and made all kinds of sounds. His mind broke down completely. Nothing made sense anymore to him. The pain, mixed with the frustration and hatred made him unable to even comprehend what happened anymore.

'Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why? Why did this happen?! It was perfect?! I did everything right!! I was going to win!! Why?!!'

For Hyun-Ki, everything was going perfectly his way. He was certain of victory and yet again, for the second time, he failed miserably and lost.

Talon could see that confusion all over his face. "Honestly, you are a very clever man. Quite dangerous too. But, you don't seem to realize something about me. I have way too much to lose to let someone like you be my end."

"..."

Hyun-Ki's body froze as he looked into Talon's eyes. For a second, he thought that he was staring into the endless abyss and it stared back at him. He couldn't see anything within those eyes, as if they belonged to a demon rather than a human.

With that, Talon released the man and let him fall to the ground before he turned around. "Stop his bleeding. I don't want him to die yet."

"Yes, sir!"

A group of healers surrounded Hyun-Ki and started treating his injuries with as much effort as they could muster.

"It's still not ever yet. We need to get to his army first." Talon said as he started giving orders to everyone.

He first took all the weapons that the children held against their parents. However, even then, they still didn't wake up from their hypnotized state.

"How should I wake them up? Does it require him to deactivate it?" Talon murmured.

"No, keeping this many humans hypnotized requires a lot of Aetheris. He can't maintain it for long, especially in his state. They should wake up any time now."

"Oh, perfect then."

With that, Talon got the rest of the group to follow him to the other side of the base where the army was waiting. When they saw that Talon was the one to appear, their fear skyrocketed.

They have already heard of what he did so seeing him there was just a nightmare. However, when they heard that Hyun-Ki was defeated… They had no other choice but to surrender.

In reality, many of them were ready to surrender in case Talon invaded the base. The news of what happened yesterday made them realize that the man they worked for was a monster through and through.

Their comrades and friends died with their own hands, it couldn't get any worse than that.

"Please, spare us, sir!!"

"We won't dare to do anything!!"

Going down on their knees, hundreds of men begged for their lives in union. None of them cared about pride or dignity in front of imminent death.

"You have two choices at this moment. You can either follow your previous leader. Or, you can be under my control."

It didn't take them long to accept his offer. So, Talon made them accept the soul contract. With that, he had 500 more, well-trained soldiers under his orders.

Then, in a matter of a few hours, Talon was able to take over human society. The only thing left to do is to make the people know of that.

Since they were all confused, Talon had to introduce himself and explain what happened. Whether they accepted that or not was going to be very crucial for his future plans.

If he wanted to gain their trust, the first impression was going to be very crucial.

So, when the survivors snapped out of their hypnotized state and found themselves in the city center, they were naturally very confused.

Looking around them, they tried to figure out what happened.

"What happened?"

"I can't remember anything…"

"I was taking a nap…"

"Mommy!!"

Meanwhile, from the roof of a building nearby, Talon watched the confused masses silently.

"How are you going to do this?" Hyun-Jae stood next to him as she curiously asked.

The latter didn't reply immediately and instead exhaled a small breath. "Just watch…"
