Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

"200? I killed 200?" Talon asked with a raised eyebrow.

Even though he knew that he had killed a good number of monsters, he didn't really keep count of how many so the number was rather surprising for him. After all, the total number of monsters in the horde was around 500 or 600, so with quick math, he easily killed 1/3rd of their numbers single-handedly.

"Yeah, more or less. I killed around 130 of them and the rest were killed by the others." Hyun-Jae replied.

'Damn, I guess I'm really cool. Wait, no, I can't let it get to my head.' He thought to himself as shook those thoughts away.

"Well, in any case, I won't need all of these stones, if I have to be honest."

"You don't?" Hyun-Jae asked.

"No, I'm going to take the energy cores, the level 25 monster's core, and another good core or two. Give the rest to the others." Talon shrugged as he opened the bag and checked its contents.

In reality, Talon had no need for all of these monster cores. He already had everything he needed. He only wanted the Grim Roamer's core because of how valuable it was and also the cores of a few level 15+ monsters that he killed during the ordeal. As for the energy cores, he simply wanted them to max out his spear's level.

Hyun-Jae blinked quizzically as she nodded her head. "I did the same thing since I have no need for all these cores either. I found a new good sword though."

"Wait, you did? That's great! Where is it?" Talon asked excitedly.

"I left it in my room since experimenting with it. I will show it to you later." She responded.

"Good good! I'm really glad you're finally improving your weapon. I was a little worried we won't find a good one for you any time soon." Talon scratched his cheek.

'... He was worried about that?' Hyun-Jae thought to herself as she looked at him.

Even she wasn't that worried about her own weapon and yet Talon had that thought in his head. She would be lying if she said that didn't make her a little happy.

"Mmm, anyway, they would need those cores more than we do," Talon said as he started pulling out all the items he needed. He first started with the energy cores.

Since the majority of the monster cores were pure energy, the bags were halved in size by the time he was finished. After that, he took the cores that he thought looked interesting. Eventually, at the bottom of the bag, he found the last core he was looking for.

It was by far the most eye-catching one he had seen so far. It was extremely shiny, to the point where it almost made Talon squint just to look at it.

'Oh, blue?' Talon lifted the core up and examined it. The bright blue color indicated that the core had a weapon inside of it. That alone made Talon confused. What kind of weapon could be inside the core? A weapon that fell from a Level 25 monster.

"Are you going to crush it?"

"Hm? Oh right, I will." Talon replied to Hyun-Jae as he focused on the blue orb in his hand.

Hyun-Jae and Acrypha watched closely as they waited for Talon to crush the stone. Eventually, the young man took a deep breath and squeezed the stone.

"Here goes nothing."

*CRUSH*

When the crisp sound of the core bursting echoed in the room as a bright blue light flashed through the stone, blinding everyone for a split second before it vanished as quickly as it appeared, revealing two objects in Talon's hand.

Looking down confusedly, Talon noticed that he had two blades in his hand. They were as long as his forearm with extremely sharp edges all around the entire weapon, and no handles to grab them from. They had a slick design with a beautiful black color with veins of blue that passed through it shining brightly as if they were beautiful stars.

For a second, the trio were mesmerized by how beautiful these blades look.

"What are these?" Hyun-Jae asked in a quiet tone as she examined the blades with her eyes.

[Aetherial Blades: Twin Aetheris Blades, forged in the Soul Valleys of Ameria. They've been fused with the soul power of a thousand creatures. Infusing them with Aetheris makes these blades float and follow the host's will purely by thought. At base level, they can kill monsters level 20+ and can level up infinitely by consuming the soul power of the targets they kill.

The more they level up, the more their strength, speed, and distance increases. They can't be leveled up with energy cores.

Level: 1/???

Bonus Points: +20 Aetheris.]

"Oh!" Talon exclaimed as he read the description of the blades. "Floating weapons?! This is so cool!"

"Floating weapons?" Hyun-Jae raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it says that if I infuse these with Aetheris, they start floating and could follow my command."

"Interesting... Try it, let's see how it works." She replied with an interesting look on her face.

"Sure, hold on." Taking a deep breath, Talon channeled his Aetheris through his body. The feeling of that mysterious energy coursing through his veins and muscles was an amazing feeling.

It was as if his body was getting rejuvenated by it. Slowly, Talon's body created a faint ethereal halo around him. His 140 points in Aetheris manifested in front of Hyun-Jae and made her breath halt. It was very mesmerizing to witness.

Then, Talon's Aetheris slowly moved to his hands and from his hands to the blades, coating them completely.

'Hmm, ok, let's see... Float.' The young man thought to himself.

Immediately, the blades in his hand started shuddering before they slowly started moving up, leaving Talon's hands. They slowly rose in the air till they reached Talon's head level before they separated and positioned on both of his sides.

"Wow..." Hyun-Jae murmured in amazement. They were really beautiful blades no matter how she looked at them. But now, with the beautiful blue halo around them, they seemed almost divine.

Talon had the same feeling, the blades were definitely something out of this world. So, he decided to experiment with them.

'Move forward.' He thought to himself.

Immediately, the blades flew forward the exact distance Talon wanted.

'One goes left and one goes right.' He thought to himself.

The blades did that exact order with no problem at all. At first, Talon thought controlling them was going to be hard, but turned out that it was so easy. It felt as if Talon was simply controlling his limbs. With his Enhanced Focus skill helping too, it was a breeze to make the two move at the same time.

A few seconds later, the blades were flying all around the room swiftly like birds. Hyun-Jae looked around her silently.

"Haha, this is really amazing."

"It's magical..."

After a while, the blades came back to Talon and positioned themselves where they were exactly.

"They're going to be extremely useful in all situations. They're like two ranged weapons." Hyun-Jae exclaimed.

Even though their distance wasn't huge, the two blades could definitely target enemies that Talon's spear usually can't hit. It will also reduce the pressure on him in case of a fight against a huge number of enemies like the one that happened a few days ago.

If Talon had these weapons at the time, he would've not struggled as hard.

'Well, these things can level up infinitely, so they're going to stay with me for a very long time.' He thought to himself as he finally put the blades down.

After a minute or two of flying, they had consumed 10 points of Aetheris from his body which was normally a high consumption rate. But, with Talon's 140 Aetheris points, this was nothing much.

"Can I take a look at the blades later?"

As he was like that, Talon heard Acrypha's voice from the other side of the room. She had a curious look on her face the entire time.

"Yeah, I will show you later," Talon replied as he finally shifted his focus to the next thing which was the energy cores.

"Ok, time to get the spear to max level." Talon smiled as he grabbed one of the energy cores and pulled his spear out before crushing the core on it.

[Ding!]

[Your spear strength has improved.]

Then, slowly, he continued crushing one core after the other on top of the spear and watched the level rise quickly.

With the sheer number of considerably high-level monsters he killed, the spear naturally was consuming an enormous amount of energy.

[Ding!]

[Your spear leveled up.]

[Your spear leveled up.]

[Your spear leveled up.]

[Your spear leveled up.]

[Your spear has reached max level.]

By the time Talon finished the last core, the spear had already maxed out and didn't consume any more energy. Looking at it closely, the aura around it had completely changed again.

It felt sharper, more lethal, and far lighter in his hand. It was as if he was carrying a feather with enough power to pulverize a building.

"Wow..."

[Blue Lapis Spear (Common Item): A spear born from the essence of the sea. At base level, it can easily kill any enemy Level 20 and down. It can level up and max out at level 10. At that level, it can kill any enemy level 30 and down.

Level: 10/10

Bonus Points: +15 Strength, +15 Agility, More effective against sea creatures.]

'Another 10 bonus points... I'm really losing track of how many points I'm getting at this point.' Talon thought to himself with a wry smile.
