Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Chapter 173: Chapter 173- Odd Reunion (Part 1)



The morning arrived early as Talon woke up from his deep sleep with a drowsy look on his face. His injuries made his sleep a little uncomfortable but he still felt a lot more refreshed after those few hours.

His eyes slowly wandered to the side where he saw Acrypha still in the same position he left her yesterday. She seemed completely fine and even her pale expression vanished. Talon didn't know if that was a good thing or not but he still felt a little more relieved.

'I should probably leave her alone for now. I don't want to break her focus.' He thought to himself as he stood up and started stretching his body.

After that, he went to get some breakfast and sat down to eat while he finally had the time to check the notifications he left from yesterday.

"I received a new class and a new skill." He raised an eyebrow as he read the content of the notifications. "Well, let's see what we've got."

[Ding!]

[You have received a new class 'Sea Hunter'.]

[Sea Hunter: A predator on land would be prey if thrown in the deepest parts of the ocean and yet some can be predators in both. This class increases your overall strength by 5% in water environments.]

"Pretty nice. A 5% boost is huge with how high my stats are now. I won't have trouble fighting in the water." Talon nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. "What about the skill?"

[Ding!]

[You have received a new skill 'Water Manipulation'.]

[Water Manipulation (Level 1): Using this skill, you can control any body of water around you in a 5-meter radius. The distance and efficiency increases with each level. Requires Aetheris to activate.]

"Oh? Water Manipulation? This is my first ever manipulation-type skill. I wonder if it's strong or not though." He murmured to himself. "I should definitely try it later when I have some time. I'm sure I can find some use for it soon."

After that, Talon finished eating before he went back to check on Acrypha out of worry. There, he found the woman still in her position, not moving at all.

So, he decided to sit down and wait for a while. He didn't want to go to work when Acrypha was still not awake yet. He knew he wouldn't be able to focus if she wasn't around him as usual.

A few minutes passed in silence before he noticed a subtle movement from Acrypha. Her eyes fluttered as she slowly opened them. Looking around her for a moment, her eyes fell on Talon.

"Good morning." She said.

"Good morning."

"Did you sleep well?" The woman asked casually as she started floating again.

"Not bad. What about you? How are you feeling right now? Does it still hurt?"

"Haha, you really sound like a worried mother right now." She laughed with an amused look on her face.

"Hey, I'm really worried. Are you really fine?"

"I am fine. You don't have to worry. Don't underestimate how strong I am."

"Sigh, ok. If you say so…" Shaking his head, Talon was about to stand up again when Acrypha stopped him.

"So, what did you want to tell me since yesterday? I almost forgot about it."

"Oh, right. It's really important so I will tell you all the details I can remember, ok?"

Acrypha naturally tensed a little when she saw the shift in Talon's expressions. Then, the young man proceeded to tell her everything he went through in that dream in great detail. He didn't leave behind anything except for the part where he was showered by a group of beautiful maids for obvious reasons.

By the time he was done, Acrypha was already frowning hard.

"That's pretty much it. I can't remember any other detail."

The woman took a few seconds to think as she rubbed her chin. Then, she looked up. "From your description of the place, that sounds awfully familiar…"

"Oh? So you know where I was?" Talon bent forward curiously.

"Yes, the Northern Ruin isn't a new name. That's one of the most notorious areas of the Core Dimension."

"The core dimension?"

"I don't know about the magic and spells, though. I have never heard of those words before. That's the detail that's confusing me."

"Wait, wait, Acrypha. Hold on a second, you wanna tell me I was in the Core Dimension the entire time?" Talon blinked.

"Yeah, most likely."

"... Damn, to think I went there of all places, this is shocking. Now that I know, it does make sense. I've felt such an ethereal atmosphere there that I couldn't describe."

"That's what everyone feels the first time they go there. It's a magical place." Acrypha replied with a smile on her face. Get the latest from m-vl-emp _yr.

"But… Why did I go there twice? I don't get it. I have no connection to that place, do I?"

Not only that, but Talon would end up in the body of a handsome young man, who is the son of the strongest magician. He didn't understand what link he had to that individual.

"What I'm thinking is that it could be a vision."

"A vision?"

"It's not rare for individuals to receive visions. There are even people whose entire strength is to see beyond the future or the past. They're called Diviners." Acrypha thought for a moment as she replied.

"Hmm, that could be the case for sure." Talon thought to himself as he ran his hand through his hair.

"As for the man you've met. I don't really know if he's real or not. My best guess is that he isn't real. The strongest magician to ever exist sounds like someone who would be put in historical records. I have read every single thing about the Core Dimension's history and I have never come across anything like that."

"But, when I met him, he felt so real. Like, I could sense his presence and strength. He gave me the same vibe as you did... Like a divine being."

"The entire history of the Core Dimension already exists. There are no loopholes in it, not that I know of at least. The chances that he existed are highly unlikely."

"Ugh, so confusing. I hate mystery." Talon cursed as he shook his head. He felt his head hurting from all the thinking.

"There is no point in thinking about it now. You should just leave it in the back of your head. Perhaps if you go there another time, you might get to know more information."

"Yeah… You're right…"

As Talon was contemplating her words, Acrypha's expression subtly changed for a moment. 'The Northern Ruins… It's the same place where my people are hiding. I wonder if that's just a coincidence or if is there a meaning behind it. And the fact that this man mentioned an item of some kind... What does that mean?'

Even when she couldn't wrap her head around the entire thing, Acrypha felt like it was too detailed of a dream to be a simple vision. But then again, what she heard made no sense at all. Unless the Core Dimension hid something from her that no history book preserved.

As they were like that, Talon heard footsteps rushing toward him. Looking to the side, he saw one of the students approaching him. He was a member of the scouting team.

"Leader!"

"What's up?"

"Hah… Hah… I saw a few vehicles riding through the streets of Seoul."

"Vehicles?"

"Yes! Armored vehicles!"

Talon frowned as he stood up. "Where are they heading?"

"I-I don't know. But, they seem like they're searching for something."

Exchanging one glance with Acrypha, Talon turned around.

"Show me."

The student immediately turned around and started moving with Talon in tow.

'Another group of humans. I wonder if these ones are also going to be enemies.' He thought to himself.

"Talon!"

On the way, the two met Hyun-Jae who just received the news. She was also on her way to check what happened.

"Tell everyone to get ready just in case. Who knows what these people could be looking for."

"I already did. They're prepared for any possible ambush." Hyun-Jae replied.

With that, the two left the warehouse as they moved through the empty streets of Seoul. A few minutes later, Talon's ears caught the sound of engines in the distance. Looking up, he easily located where the noises were coming from.

'They're heading straight toward us.' He squinted his eyes sharply.

"Hyun-Jae, take that building over there and stay hidden. As for you, go back and join the others. I think we can handle this." Talon said.

"What about you?" Hyun-Jae asked.

"I'm going to face them. If they're enemies, we can ambush them. But, if they're here with good intentions, we can be more civilized and have a talk. They could be helpful."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Pulling her sword out, Hyun-Jae vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

As for Talon, he stood in his place as he looked at the other end of the street. The noises grew louder and louder as they got closer. Eventually, the vehicles appeared in the distance.
