Chapter 166: Chapter 166- Kraken Slayer

The moment Talon was pulled inside the Kraken's mouth, the entire world turned completely dark. Except for the sensation of his body being thrown back at full speed, he couldn't see or hear anything.

He felt as if he was completely isolated from the world for a good few seconds before a sudden sharp pain assaulted his back as if something sharp pierced through his flesh. Then, Talon felt that same sensation in his two legs and arms too.

'Are these its teeth?! Dammit, it hurts!' Clenching his teeth, Talon tried to pull himself off the sharp spikes.

However, that only made his situation worse as he ended up being thrown to the other side, slamming against the wall of sharp teeth with even more violence. He felt his skin tearing open in multiple areas at the same time.

But, what made it even worse was the fact that he could barely see anything in this environment. Even with his enhanced focus skill, he could barely see anything more than a meter away from him. For normal eyes, this place was absolutely dark with not even a speck of light going through it.

Trying to control his movement in such a dark environment was almost impossible for Talon to do.

So, he decided to do something different as quickly as possible since he knew that he will only keep getting shredded to pieces if the Kraken continued sucking him in.

For the next few seconds, Talon continued slamming around trying to find balance. But, nothing worked out. So, he changed his approach. The next moment he was thrown to the other side, Talon extended his hand as he grabbed into one of the sharp teeth of the monster.

His grip tightened on the disgustingly slimy tooth as he held on. But, because of the nature of its slick surface, it didn't take long for Talon to feel his hand starting to slide off.

'Oh no, you don't!' Using all his strength, Talon gripped it even harder, his fingers dug into the tooth ruthlessly.

Then, with the other hand, Talon channeled his Aetheris as he lifted his spear up. Then, with a cold grunt, he swung the spear down.

*Swish*

The slash created a massive injury on the surface of the monster's mouth. Talon couldn't see it clearly but he could feel the blood gushing out of the injury. So, without wasting any more time, he swung the spear again and again and again.

He used every ounce of strength left in his body as he threw the spear continuously like a freak. In a matter of seconds, he turned the Kraken's mouth into a bloody mess fo flesh that looked like shredded meat.

Meanwhile, outside, the monster growled loudly as it started moving a little frantically. The stinging intense pain from the attacks was making it lose its mind. So much so that it started throwing its tentacles around randomly.

'It's working!' Talon could feel the shaking intensify with each attack so he pushed himself to attack even more. 'My attacks are doing some damage to it even though my spear is under-leveled compared to the monster. But, I don't know if this is going to be enough to kill it. It's too big to kill with one attack. Not to mention the fact that I can barely move around as I am. your-chapter-source

I need to somehow kill it from where I'm standing right now.'

With the few options he had at that moment, he didn't know if he could really do anything to the monster that would kill it. Well, at least no 'normal' method could do that. But, there was one single thing that could do it. Talon already had an idea but he was trying so hard to dodge it and find a better one.

'I already promised I'm not gonna use that one...' Frowning hard, the young man shook his head. 'I don't have time to dilly dally, I need to make a decision right now or Hyun-Jae and I will drown to death!'

Even if Talon had a better option, the time he had in his hand was far from enough to do anything possibly worth the effort.

'I don't know if I'm going to kill myself here or not. But, my chances aren't too bad.' He thought to himself as he looked up, visualizing what he needed to do.

Even in that world, the notifications did reach him, and yet, Talon's mind was simply too disconnected to understand what they meant.

'What happened? Why is the entire world white? Is this the effect of that fusion skill? What was its name again? Oh, right, I didn't give it a name yet. Maybe I should think of a name since I'm using it more often than I thought... Wait, is it even considered a skill if it's a mix of two skills?

Ugh, what am I even thinking of? My brain feels too light...' As he dazedly stared into the nothingness, weird questions kept popping in his head and he didn't know why.

All he could do was just follow that odd sensation wherever it was carrying him. He was completely unaware of the fact that... At that very moment, Talon was the closest he had ever been to death.

In the outside world, the explosion completely destroyed everything in its way, creating a gigantic crater in the middle of the river that pushed all the water away.

The survivors at the shore watched as a giant wave of water formed in the far distance as it moved toward them at an alarming speed.

"What the heck is happening?!"

"Holy shit! That's a tsunami!"

Chin-Hwa stepped forward as he stared into the distance with a huge frown. "We need to move now! That wave is only going to grow bigger!"

Cursing under his breath, he turned around and yelled. "Everyone, move as far away from the bridge as possible!"

The students didn't waste a single moment as they quickly scattered away as fast as they could. Luckily, the wave was still far away so they had some time to escape.

Except for Chin-Hwa who stared into the distance with an extremely worried look on his face.

'President! Please be ok!' He thought to himself as he quickly got rid of his shirt and jumped into the water to swim toward the boat before it could get completely engulfed by the giant wave.

At the same time, in the sight of the explosion, the crater of water expanded to a few dozen meters wide before it slowly started filling in again. Hyun-Jae found herself being thrown back from the sheer impact.

Using all her strength, she was able to stop at the last moment as she stared into the distance with a terrified look on her face. She didn't understand what happened at first. But, when she saw the result of the explosion, she realized what it was.

The giant Kraken, the one that was at least a few football fields in length, was nowhere to be seen. Whatever was left of it were some tentacles that slowly drowned to the bottom of the river.

'Talon...' That's when the girl remembered what happened a while ago. That giant crater she saw after Talon defeated the stampede of monsters. It was awfully similar to that and it only made her feel even more terrified.

'Talon!'
