Chapter 138
It felt like his entire body was forcibly being stretched This was a kind of pain where he was sure of so on his head and limbs from all directions Did the torturous pain from the dismemberment execution of the medieval times feel this bad, the one where the head and limbs were tied to ends of horses and then pulled apart? It also felt like his throat had clammed up and as a result, he couldn’t even voice out his suffering He could only shut his eyes tightly and endure
In the e took place with the Leviathan’s body
In human terer
His tail extended out even th increased and became bulkier, and a horn on his forehead shone with beautiful radiance that easily exceeded most famous jewelry ever know to men
There was still some cherubic hints left within the facial features, but noas farflaw visible to the naked eye It was the type of a countenance that sort of resembled an ocean-bound lifeform, a reptilian, and a ether
It indeed reseendary mythical tales of the past

However, the Leviathan in question was unable to sense this earth-shaking change taking place - he could only float helplessly on the surface of the ocean, co his entire body
The sight of a 7- like a corpse was indeed aHunters passing by to think they
But thankfully, there was no other soul to be found under the darkened navy-blue sky And thus, the Leviathan was afforded enough to ti pains
Tihts shimmered off the ocean’s surface Sae-Jin finally opened his eyes after 6 straight hours of pain-induced unconsciousness
"Buah… Puh-euh-euh…"
He didn’t die, and had survived the ordeal He no longer felt any pain either He breathed out a long sigh of relief Too bad, that sigh beca tsuna towards the East Sea’s coastline
"Ah"
For a wave created by a sily unbalanced Sae-Jin the Leviathan’s face cruhtly manner as he wondered how he should stop this calaht about it, yet the vigorous tsunainto a cute little puddle and it soon disappeared completely froh?
Kim Sae-Jin tilted his head this way and that, but the alert s cleared up his confusion
&8211; The host can control the ocean with his ‘will’ only Mana will be consumed, of course, but would there be a limit to Mana’s supply for a Leviathan when he’s in the ocean?
‘…Ohhhh’
Sae-Jin stayed in the water and played around for a while longer Whenever he moved his body, he could rouse up tsunami waves, destructive storm winds and other natural ocean-bound cala around unchecked for a bit like that, Sae-Jin quietly transformed back into the human form and stepped back on the dry land At the sa a short alarm

That’s how the days continued to rapidly flow by - one day, two days, three, four…
"Dispatching the Kraken again?" (Sae-Jin)
"Yes, sir This ti)
15 days before the fated day of the operation, when everyone was feeling tense
Jo Hahn-Sung personally came to see Sae-Jin in his office It was because the British Foreign Office had ent request to dispatch the Kraken
"Okay, so what’s going on over there now?" (Sae-Jin)
"Apparently, a Boss-level snake Monster called ‘Mangsasa’ has built a nest within the Pennines raphical location isn’t ideal for battle, the British are in a bind as they also can’t leave it alone, but it seeht of the Italian incident frosasa is a set of Hanja that the author seemed to have invented by hi) Heinous/Evil (Sa) Snake (Sa) I couldn’t really find a snake-type ht I’d leave it in romanised form Hopefully you’re fine with that)

"Just like then, they are putting up the i)
‘Important loot’ probably meant the Monster’s Mana Stone, as well as parts of its carcass - in a snake’s case, its fangs
"H?" (Sae-Jin)
"I don’t have anything particular to add, sir After all, the compensation proposed by them are not for the benefit of the company as a whole, but it lines up )
"……"
Sae-Jin narrowed his eyes and glared at hiuy’s eyes…
Quickly deciphering thehurriedly added ree to do it, sir A Kraken isn’t going to wear out anyways from the repeated use, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to let an opportunity to make profit slip away Plus, it see how the British Foreign Secretary ca)
"That happened? Fine But… how long will it take, according to the Brits?" (Sae-Jin)
It was fine to send the Kraken, but since the creature would play a part in the Bathory hunting, at a minimum, he had to recall it before the 25th
"Since it’s only one day’s travel fro four days, tops"
"Mree to a set of dates and lethis words up to here, Sae-Jin was about to hand over the docu
"Ah, actually… The thing is, sir, they are waiting outside the office right now" (Jo Hahn-Sung)

"Ah, uh, yes, well, uh, please, take a seat I’h"
"Firstly, excuse et to the main topic These are the all the inforsasa"
From the suitcases they carried, documents after documents were pulled out in sequential order Since it was 15 people producing docurave of papers in no time Sae-Jin’s expression naturally crumpled as well
"The details of our proposed compensation can be found on this docuuarantees an one-off payment of ₤10 million for the dispatch itself This fee is yours, even if the Monster Mangsasa is not defeated…"
The Foreign Secretary rapidly fired his words out Sae-Jin searched for Jo Hahn-Sung, but he had already evacuated from the office, and that left Sae-Jin to sit there and listen to the briefing related to the Boss Monster for the next 30 minutes or so
"…And that is all we have Guild Master Kim Sae-Jin-nim, please lend us your aid"
"Please help us"
"Please help us"
At the end of the briefing, all the officers fron Office lowered their heads with sincere facial expressions Seeing 15 high ranking group ofthis sure made Sae-Jin feel quite odd at thatboastful, that was how he felt
"However, I thought there werepeople in the UK? So why…?" (Sae-Jin)

A e of the Boss Monster, while on the lengthy desk shaped like an unfolded fan, countless documents were piled on top
Equallyfor the answer fron Secretary who had flown over to Korea
&8211; "The negotiation has been completed"
A small commotion erupted as soon as the Secretary’s voice came out of the speakers
"…What are the results?"
The Pridom, ‘Reiden’, cautiously asked He was still uneasy about this whole thing Should he have gone there instead of the Foreign Affairs Secretary? Did the deal collapse because he chose the national pride over its success?
&8211; "Ha-ah…"
A long and drawn out sigh came from the other side of the line Since it sounded like the sound of defeat, the listeners also let out long sighs as well
