Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 77 - 77- Insanity Or Genius (Part 2)

The sight completely shell-shocked Talon for a good few seconds before he quickly slid down under the rock to hide before the monster could see him.

'That was a single attack… Yet it blew an entire street off the face of the earth.' He thought to himself as he clenched his teeth. Even though Acrypha had warned him about the monster's strength, he still assumed that its attack would be strong, but not to this degree.

It was far from what he expected to see and that made him question if his idea was really going to work as well as he thought.

Meanwhile, the Grim Roamer slowly turned its head around as it aimed its mouth in another direction before it shrieked again at full volume, shaking the entire place. Talon quickly covered his head and ears as he tried to reduce the noise that assaulted his eardrums.

A few seconds passed before the noise subsided when Talon noticed that another area was completely wiped out.

'Wait…' That's when he understood what was happening in front of him. The monster wasn't just throwing a tantrum, it was blasting the rocks and debris away so that it could either kill Talon or at least reveal his place.

"Shit…" Cursing at his sudden and yet extremely horrible realization, his eyes quickly moved to look at the monster. It had already changed its direction again and aimed before shrieking.

Then, for the next minute or so, it kept aiming and using its ability, sending all the debris away and clearing the entire place. Meanwhile, Talon was still hidden as he watched everything ensue. He had no idea what to do at that moment. If he remained in his position he was at risk of being hit by those sound waves and if he moved, the monster could see him which would destroy his plan completely.

Each choice was worse than the other and each had its huge risks.

'I need to do something quick or I will be the next one to be blasted away!' Clenching his teeth, Talon crawled out of his hole slowly and dragged himself through the dirt till he reached a huge rock where he quickly hid and peeked at the monster.

The Grim Roamer didn't seem like it was aware of him yet, so Talon slowly moved his hand and picked a rock in his hand. Then, taking a deep breath, he rose up and threw the rock as strong as he could in a different direction and then quickly crouched down and hid himself.

The rock flew through the air for dozens of meters before it landed on the ground, making an audible noise that caught the Grim Roamer's attention. Immediately, it activated its skill, blasting that entire area away.

Using that opportunity, Talon quickly crawled to another hiding spot as fast as he could before the monster could see him.

'Fuck, that was close…' Talon heaved up and down. The rushed idea he came up with was seemingly working.

Grabbing another rock, he threw it in a different direction again, making the monster react quickly.

"I never thought I would ever witness such a thing…" Acrypha murmured as she watched Talon slowly inch his way toward the monster with each rock he threw.

In just a matter of minutes, Talon had come up with multiple plans, adapting to every situation he found himself in as fast as he realized he was in it. Who would've thought to use rocks to trick a monster levels above them in strength? No one apart from him.

'But, even if he gets close, what is he trying to do?' She asked herself. 'Is he going to ambush it again?'

Tense moments passed slowly as Talon kept repeating the same trick again and again. The monster was seemingly unaware of it since the noise kept coming from random places which made it assume Talon was moving around and making sounds.

Meanwhile, the real Talon grew so close to it that Talon could hear the monster's rough groans.

Sitting down silently on the ground, he grabbed his spear as he wiped the sweat off his face, and looked back.

'Come on, I can do it…' He thought to himself as he closed his eyes. 'Mom, dad, pray for me…'

Feeling his parents' presence in his heart, he quickly grabbed a rock and threw it to the other side before he immediately stood up and rushed out of his hiding spot and rushed toward the monster.

*Swish*

His spear aimed for the monster's second leg as the spear sliced through its Achilles Tendon again. The monster shrieked in pain as it grabbed its second leg. Its body fell on both knees as it started shaking.

'I did it!' Talon thought to himself as he tried to escape again. However, before he could even cross a small distance, the monster's head turned around quickly and it looked straight at him.

The latter looked back and for a split second, his heart stopped. Everything felt like it was going in slow motion.

The Grim Roamer slowly opened its mouth, revealing its terrifying set of teeth to Talon.

"TALON!!" Acrypha's eyes widened as she yelled his name.

However, it was too late, the monster's sound wave blew the entire area the next second. The rocks disintegrated and flew away, leaving nothing behind. A huge cloud of dust flew through the air.

"Oh no!" Acrypha quickly flew toward the cloud of dust as she pierced through it. "Talon! Talon, where are you?!"

Her eyes were looking around with a frown. Her senses could locate Talon and she could even feel his soul still alive, but that didn't mean that he was fine.

"Ugh! Fuck!!"

"Talon?" Hearing the ground, Acrypha looked behind as she flew toward the source of the noise.

There, she found Talon lying on the ground as he grabbed his side. He was groaning and moaning from extreme pain. Never before did Acrypha see Talon react like that even though he sustained countless injuries.

Flying around, her eyes landed on the reason why he was in such pain.

"Oh no…"

"Ugh! Goddamit! That hurts!!" Biting his lip till it bled, Talon tried to stand up, only to fall again.

Looking down, he saw an entire pond of blood accumulating under him and the reason for it was the gruesome injury he had on his side. An entire chunk of his abdomen was blown away, leaving behind a visible dent.

'If I didn't dodge at the last second, I would've died!!' Heaving up and down, he held his side, squeezing it as much as he could.

The sheer amount of blood he was losing was ridiculous.

"This is so fucked up!!" He cursed as he quickly used one of his hands to move to the inside of his jacket. From there, he pulled out a small bottle of red liquid.

[Healing Potion (Uncommon Item): Restores 25% of health upon consumption.]

Popping the vile open, Talon shugged down the liquid as fast as he could.

"Ugh, cough! Cough!"

The moment he drank it, Talon's body immediately reacted. The bleeding stopped completely and Talon's pale face regained some color. Not only that, the potion also healed some of the small cuts and bruises on his body.

'Luckily, I had brought a healing potion with me…' He thought to himself.

After hunting down monsters for days on the campus grounds, Talon and the rest students were able to acquire a plethora of potions, mostly common and uncommon potions that restored health and Aetheris upon consumption.

Naturally, before the fight, Talon took one bottle for himself and left the rest to be distributed amongst the students by priority.

Slowly rising up, Talon grabbed his side with a pained expression. Even with the bleeding stopped, the injury was still extremely brutal. Talon was sure that a chunk of his internal organs in that area was blasted off too and he was starting to feel its effect.

'Ugh, my eyes are turning hazy…' He thought to himself as he shook his head.

"You need to run, now! You can't fight anymore. Your body is on its limit."

"No… Not after I cut both its legs. I can kill it…" Looking down, Talon picked up his spear and he started walking out of the cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, the monster outside was on the ground, unable to move. Both of its legs were paralyzed. All it had was its arms to drag its body around. Looking around to start crawling away thinking that Talon was dead, it suddenly felt a presence behind it.

Looking behind, a presence flashed through its vision. Then, before it knew it, its left arm gave out as it fell on its face.

A loud groan escaped the Grim Roamer's mouth as it felt blood leaking out.

"Haha, now it should be fair and square, fucker!" Talon said as he appeared in the monster's vision holding his spear.

His wretched looks and his wide smile made the monster's hollow eyes widen.

"Come on, stand up, bastard! You blew half my body off and you can't take a small injury? Weak fuck! Let's have a goddamn fight, I grew tired of running."
