Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

Immediately, the scouts stepped forward as they rushed inside the forest. By the time they stepped inside, they realized that the cracks had spread so far and wide that they couldn't even find an easy path to reach Talon and Hyun-Jae.

So, Chin-Hwa took the lead as he quickly jumped daringly, crossing the distance as he approached the two of them.

"PRESIDENT!!" He yelled as he reached them. "What happened to her?!"

Seeing her bloodied state, Chin-Hwa reached forward to carry her, only for Talon to pull away.

"Out of my way…" He said in a low yet extremely cold tone.

Chin-Hwa flinched visibly when he saw that terrifying look on Talon's face and immediately retracted his arms. The young man's aura was as terrifying as ever, if not even worse.

Talon then continued moving as if he was conscious of it. In reality, however, everything was now a blurred mess to him. He could vaguely see that someone was standing in front of him but he couldn't really know who it was so his natural instinct kicked in.

"What is happening?" Chin-Hwa blinked as he quickly rushed after them. "Hey, wait! You can't move! You're heavily injured!" He yelled as he stared at Talon.

Just a mere glance at him horrified Chin-Hwa. His body had so many see-through holes in it that he questioned how this man was still alive.

But, Talon ignored him completely as if he wasn't there.

So, all Chin-Hwa could do was move along with him, completely terrified at how much resilience Talon had.

"You can't pass that crack! Let me help goddammit!"

However, Talon completely ignored him as he sprang to his feet, passing the crack with ease as if it wasn't even there. Landing on the other side, he continued moving.

'What?! He can still jump that far with his injuries?!' Chin-Hwa blinked in shock at what he saw.

He could swear he saw that one of Talon's legs was injured and yet he was able to do what Chin-Hwa barely did in his peak health. It was but another reminder of how monstrous that young man was and how hard it was to even compare to him in terms of strength.

*CRACK*

However, Chin-Hwa's thoughts were taken back to reality as he realized that the forest was crumbling on him. So, he quickly rushed after the two.

On the other side, the scouts received the two leaders with terrified looks on their faces. Just a mere glance at their condition was akin to staring at two walking corpses.

"Where… is… Gu Iseul…?" Talon asked as he finally reached the exit where the students were waiting.

"Oh my god!!" The moment the girl heard her name, she rushed toward them as fast as she could. "What happened?!"

"Help… Her…" Saying that, Talon finally fell to the ground, barely stopping himself from hitting his head.

Gu Iseul looked at him with a huge frown. "Not only Miss President! You too!"

Quickly, she turned around and signaled for the group of students with healing abilities to come toward them.

"Take care of Mr Talon!" She ordered them as she flipped her sleeves and sat down next to Hyun-Jae to check her condition.

However, with a single look at her back, Gu Iseul realized how truly horrible the situation was.

'She's in critical condition! And she lost too much blood!' Gu Iseul thought to herself as she immediately started healing Hyun-Jae's back.

Meanwhile, the other students sat down next to Talon and used all their abilities at the same time since they weren't that strong compared to Gu Iseul's skill. But, together, their healing power was pretty much at her level if not better.

"Is she going to be ok?" Chin-Hwa approached Gu Iseul as he looked at Hyun-Jae with a pale expression.

Just seeing her in so much pain tore his heart to pieces. But, for the sake of their survival, he tried to keep his calm as much as he could.

"... I will try my best, sir… I won't let Miss. President die!" Gu Iseul replied with a determined look on her face. "I owe her too much and I must repay it all!"

'I can't let her die before I can show her how grateful I am!' Her thoughts continued.

Hyun-Jae was far from just her leader. But someone she looked up to greatly for her achievements and her great personality. She had helped her a lot during this tough time and inspired her to work harder than ever. Being the main healer in the entire group was a huge pressure that Gu Iseul wasn't completely ready for.

Naturally, when she saw her peers die and she had no power to help them, it took a toll on her mental health and she found herself falling deeper and deeper into her own dark thoughts. The first one to be there for her was Hyun-Jae.

'It's already a miracle that we're still alive. You've been a huge factor in that and I'm grateful for it. Don't beat yourself down because a few died, be proud because you saved many more souls.'

Those words were still engraved in her heart and she would remember them whenever she felt like she couldn't handle the continuous pressure.

'I will definitely work harder than before to not let anyone die! I don't want to bury any more innocent souls!'

As she continued healing her, Chin-Hwa was called by Go Young-Soon.

"We need to move from this place." He said as he looked around him nervously. "The cracks are spreading really fast and they're going to reach our area soon."

The precise location the students were in was located in a lower level than the other places around the forest and the research center. Because of its level, the earthquakes didn't hit it immediately.

But, that didn't mean that this would last forever. The pulses were growing in intensity by the second. At this point, the entirety of Seoul came crumbling down with no buildings left intact for the most part. The only ones that remained standing were the sturdier buildings that can tank earthquakes.

Chin-Hwa knew that very well. But, he didn't know if they could even evacuate this place as a group. Hundreds of students moving through a very dangerous terrain at the same time is a spell for disaster.

Not to mention the condition Talon and Hyun-Jae were in. There was simply no way they could leave this place and even if there was, where are they supposed to go?

"No, we're staying here." He shook his head.

"Bu-"

"No buts. If we leave, we're all done for. Our best chance of survival is if we reach the research center. We have to continue moving forward!"

"..."

'Though, crossing that distance is going to be a challenge.'

As they were like that, suddenly, they heard a loud noise coming from the distance that sent shivers down their spines. The sound was chaotic and certainly inhumane.

Chin-Hwa's eyes moved to the direction the sound came from and he frowned hard. "No way…"

His eyes squinted coldly. The sound was very familiar to him as he heard it before not that long ago. The ground started shaking even more than it already was.

"S-Sir?" Go Young-Soon called him with a pale expression.

To which Chin-Hwa turned around and said. "Get everyone ready…" Then, he unsheathed his katana. "The war… Isn't over…"
