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

The attack was so brutal that for a second, Talon's vision was completely covered in notifications and nothing else.

Then, he slowly stood up on his feet, his clothes were shredded to pieces, barely hanging loosely over his body. His skin was completely covered in his blood and the blood of the countless monsters he killed.

His face and hair were also drenched in that liquid which made him look like a terrifying devil that came straight out of hell. His strong glare filled with rage didn't help make him look any better either.

Looking around him with a terrifying stare on his face, he made the monsters retreat instinctively. Their senses alerted them that the human standing in front of them was not a normal prey and the proof was right behind them. Many of their fellows were suddenly blasted into pieces when they tried to eat him.

They didn't know what he did to create such a destructive attack but they were sure that they didn't want anything to do with it… For a few seconds.

After that, they realized the brutal state Talon was in. His body was riddled with injuries from head to toe. The claws of monsters sliced his skin open brutally and even left a big injury on his left cheek that ran down to his chin.

Luckily, since Talon was able to blast the monsters away using Tear Of Reality, no actual Dimension Walkers were able to reach or touch him.

"Ptuh…" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he exhaled a long breath. Then, he picked up his spear and aimed it at the hesitant creatures surrounding him.

"What are you waiting for? Let's continue." He said in a cold tone.

[Ding!]

[You have allocated 4 points in strength and 3 points in agility.]

Feeling the surge of strength from using 7 free points, Talon closed his eyes for a second before he opened them again and finally took a fighting stance.

"To hell with trying to hold back, I'm going to dissect all of you into pieces." He murmured as he dashed forward like a dangerous predator.

"Talon…" Seeing the man she'd been looking for, Hyun-Jae's eyes widened in shock. She had clearly seen Talon pull off something weird that created such a destructive effect.

The area all around him was completely wrecked and the ground was cracked open as if it was made out of biscuits.

The blast was so strong that Hyun-Jae felt its effect from dozens of meters away and it pushed her back a little. What was even weirder was that this wasn't the first time Talon pulled off such a thing which led her to believe that it was some kind of skill he acquired.

However, none of that mattered at that moment. What really mattered to her was that Talon was still alive and standing. That fact alone filled her heart with such an intense feeling that she could only smile at that moment.

It was an overwhelming happiness that she had never felt in her life before. As if her entire world was slowly submerging in darkness suddenly regained light and hope out of nowhere. The feeling made her low morals skyrocket.

With that, she immediately rushed forward as she tried to pave a path for Talon to escape the trap he found himself in. Now that she was sure he was alive, she wasn't going to let him down even if she put her life at risk.

"From here, Talon! Open a path from here!" She yelled to catch his attention.

Talon's ears caught her voice from the other side and immediately changed his direction without wasting a second. His speed was slower than before due to his wrecked body, but he was able to slice through the monsters in his way efficiently and swiftly.

Using every ounce of energy in his body, he rushed out of the trap, being followed everywhere he went by the eager beasts, he had no other choice but to actually move slower.

What he and Hyun-Jae didn't realize was that slowly, the number of monsters was dwindling around them at a high rate. After almost an hour and a half of continuous fighting, the horde was finally being reduced greatly.

However, because they were too focused on the task of slicing down enemies, they didn't realize the good news at all.

With that, minutes passed, and slowly but surely, Talon paved a path out of the horde. He was beyond exhausted and his body was so painful that it became numb. His arms couldn't move anymore and his palms were bloody from all the swinging. Every inch of him just wanted to lie down unconscious.

But, with pure will, he fought that urge and continued his rampage. There was no way he was going to let some exhaustion and pain beat him. He was far too stubborn to allow it.

"Talon!!" Hyun-Jae sliced through a monster as she finally saw glimpses of her companion. Her eyes sparkled with endless joy and her face brightened considerably. No words could describe how she felt at that moment so all she could do was hurry toward him.

Talon also looked at her, but he didn't give any visible reaction and instead continued cutting and thrusting left and right.

Eventually, he finally saw the glimpse of hope he wanted to see. A small passageway revealed itself to him in the sea of monsters. Immediately, he dashed forward as fast as he could and leaped forward, avoiding the claws and teeth that tried to grab him as he landed on the other side, rolling on the ground.

"Talon!" Hyun-Jae immediately rushed toward him and lent him her hand to stand up.

"I'm fine… Somehow…" He exhaled a long, painful breath as he grabbed onto it and stood up slowly with a small groan.

"We need to retreat, you can't continue fighting in this condition." She said in a worried tone.

"Ugh, I'm fine… I can fight for a little longer. You also need to get treated. Your back is bleeding still." He replied as he cracked his neck.

"I won't go back unless you're also going back. If you're going to continue fighting, then so am I." Hyun-Jae shook her head.

"Sigh, I know you would answer that way." Smiling slightly, Talon picked up his spear again with a tired expression. "Come on, one last push, I can see the end of their numbers. There are no more than 70 left." He said.

"Mm, we can do it." Standing with her back to his, the girl channeled her Aetheris as lightning flickered across her body.

"Please don't do anything reckless and let's get it done with." She replied.

"Mm, I know." She replied

However, as the two of them were about to move, they suddenly noticed something odd.

"Hm?" Talon's eyes squinted as he looked around him.

All the monsters that were chasing them wildly the entire time have suddenly stopped moving completely as if they were halted in time. Their wild glares also vanished, replaced by a tame, terrified look.

What was even weirder was that they weren't even looking at Talon and Hyun-Jae anymore and instead, all looked in a certain direction.

"What's going on?" Hyun-Jae murmured in confusion. The monsters didn't seem interested in them anymore for some reason.

Talon also looked around him as he felt that something was weirdly off with this behavior. But, a second later, a memory flashed in his head.

This wasn't the first time Talon had seen this weird behavior. In fact, it was the second time. The first one was back when he first reached the warehouse and fought the dimension walkers there. At the time, before the giant mosquito appeared, the dimension walkers had stopped moving as if they were terrified by some creature.

"Don't tell me…" Talon's suspicion rose by leaps and bounds as he was about to turn around. At that moment, Acrypha appeared in his vision.

"You need to run, right now." She said with a very grave expression. "Just move!" She repeated.

"Huh? Why? What's happen-"

Before Talon could even move, he suddenly felt a deep chill run down his spine at that moment. Looking back slowly with widened eyes, he saw it, barely a few hundred meters away from him, hiding behind a building with its eyes peeking at him in an eerie silence.

"I SAID RUN!"
