Chapter 10: Chapter 10- Anomaly

Talon and Hyun-Jae immediately stood back to back as they got ready to fight. The others were already rushing inside but it will take them some time to reach them.

So, they had to fight these monsters alone for a while.

"Don't let them bite you," Talon said as he quickly dodged an attack before he sliced with his spear, cutting the monster's head with ease. At this point, his speed and strength far exceeded that of low-level Dimension Walkers. He can easily handle two or three of them at once.

"I know, you too." Ducking down, Hyun-Jae answered as she slid her leg, tackling two monsters before stomping on their heads ruthlessly.

Talon nodded his head with an impressed look as he dashed forward and swung his spear, slicing every monster in his way. A series of notifications appeared in his retina that he pushed aside.

[Ding!]

[you have killed level 1 Dimension Walker.]

[You have killed level 2 Dimension Walker.]

[You have killed level...]

[You have killed...]

[Ding!]

[You have leveled up. +2 free points.]

In a matter of moments, he was able to finish 4 monsters without a problem. Talon felt the rush of strength fill his body and the excitement that came along with it.

He was on cloud nine as he dodged, sliced, and kicked everything in his way. He didn't even notice that the number of Dimension Walkers increased from 9 to almost 30 as they fought. His mind solely focused on one thing and one thing only, to kill as many of them as he could.

A killing machine in a sense.

Hyun-Jae and the others eventually noticed Talon and they could only watch in pure shock. He far exceeded their expectations.

"He's amazing!" Shin-Il murmured with a stupified expression. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Chin-Hwa and Wan Yong were especially shocked since they had fought the monsters and knew how tricky it was to fight one of them let alone a huge group. Yet, Talon made it look easy which was in and out of itself an impressive feat.

Chin-Hwa's eyes especially flashed with a weird glint as they slowly moved to Hyun-Jae who was also staring at Talon with clear surprise.

"He... Why didn't you say that he was this strong?" Soomin asked as she tried to adjust her glasses.

"I forgot haha!" Shin-Il rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"Of course..." Rolling her eyes, Soomin looked ahead again. Wan Yong and Chin-Hwa were already clashing with the monsters. The basketball team's ace used his crushing strength to kick and punch any monster in front of him while Chin-Hwa used his Taekwondo black belt knowledge to immediately take down any Dimension Walker in front of him.

"AGH!!" The stinger sliced his wrist open with ease as blood exploded everywhere. Jumping back, Talon grabbed his wrist with a pained expression. He felt the blood dripping from his hand slowly. However, it didn't last long as it stopped a few seconds later due to Talon's high health stat.

"Are you ok, Talon?!" Hyun-Jae rushed toward him.

"No! I'm fine! Focus on the monster!" Talon yelled quickly as he looked around him. The abomination had just disappeared into the darkness again before he could locate it.

'Where is it?!' Grabbing into his spear, he lifted it up so he could move it as fast as he could.

"I would tell you where it is if I could. But, I can't." Acrypha said with an annoyed expression. She hated that she couldn't help Talon much from her position.

"It's fine. I will kill this thing myself." He replied as he continued looking around.

"hey! stand back to back so that everyone is looking at an angle. Don't let anything past your eyes! It could be anywhere!" Talon said as he signaled for Hyun-Jae to join them.

"What about you?" She asked.

"I'm going to bait it out of its hiding spot. You guys try to attack it the moment it comes out!" Talon said as he ran away from the group and jumped on top of a crater to get a better look at the place.

"Now, come out, bastard! I know you want to suck my blood!" He yelled, trying to catch the monster's attention. He wasn't sure if that was going to work, but he was trying. Surprisingly, it did as the next second, a silhouette flew out of its hiding spot as it attacked Talon from the back.

'Got you!'

The latter noticed it at the last second as he quickly slashed with his spear. Everything happened in a split second. The monster's stinger sliced Talon's left arm as his spear's blade glossed over the monster's body, barely scratching it.

"Ugh!" The stinging pain from the injury made Talon groan.

Meanwhile, the others have already seen what happened and immediately followed after the insect.

'They saw where it went! Good!' With that in mind, Talon quickly jumped from one crater to another to follow them as he kept an eye on his surroundings.

A few seconds later, the monster appeared again as it attacked Talon from the side.

'It's really after me, isn't it?' Cursing inwardly, Talon quickly rolled on the ground, dodging the stinger as the mosquito flew past him.

"I got it!" Hyun-Jae moved nimbly as she jumped in the air and kicked the mosquito with the hill of her foot, sending it stumbling on the ground.

The monster buzzed weakly from the hit as it quickly stood up and flew away. This time, it didn't vanish and instead did something unexpected, it span around the warehouse before it suddenly started descending at top speed... Straight toward Shin-Il.

"Shin-Il, move!" Soomin screamed when she noticed what the mosquito wanted to do.

However, the boy was simply frozen in his place from terror. His eyes stared wide at the creature as it reached him.

'I'm dead...' A flashing thought appeared in his head.
