After feeling the suffocation of being confined to his house, Sae-Jin belatedly decided to search for any infor was that the final evolved form for his ‘Feeble Sea Monster’ was alht that there must be some commonality in the way the abilities of his new forendary sea creature operated

…Of course, he still had no idea how the heck such a cute, defenseless little thing could evolve into so but, well

Whatever Sae-Jin dived into the World Wide Web As expected, internet was the hub of all infors about Leviathans in it

However - maybe because a Leviathan was a creature to be avoided at all costs and not an opponent to fight head on, there didn’t seem to be that many first-hand accounts out there Most of the stuff he found online were either recap of the legends of the past, or folktale-like stories busy chasing after clouds

‘It’s easy to entle creature as it spends half a day in slumber However, as its nature is vicious, it would definitely attack any lifefor its territory A h the Leviathan lives in water, it can fire incredibly hot ma out of its mouth…‘

As he sifted through this and that info for more than an hour, Sae-Jin finally found the information on the Leviathan’s iin of Mana is nature, and all nature ste a Leviathan freely wielding Mana found in the atmosphere, is not a mystery at all‘

‘The Leviathan can instinctively understand Mana existing in solid and liquid matter that comes in contact with its body, and it can also potentially replicate this Mana‘

It was as if a lightbulb went off inside his head

This could be an unexpected way to utilise the skill ‘Ruler of the Water’

He hurriedly got up and went to the bathrooed into the baby Leviathan form And then, he repeatedly tried to divide the small amount of ‘Mana’ already present in this tub of water

Lo and behold, as he performed this task, the Proficiency Level that seean to iot to witness a trulyfrom water

However, the probleth

”whine”

When he repeated did this exercise for the next 20 th left his body at once

This was the so-called ‘groggy’ state, achieved after exhausting his Mana completely

As this was the first time for Sae-Jin to experience this state, the side effects proved to be unexpectedly severe And for the next ten minutes or so, a small baby seal with a horn on its head floated around on the surface of bathtub’s water, unable to lift a finger

The following day

Kim Sae-Jin headed to the Monster field once more However, he was not in his Hu tied Ebony Wolf Form and jumped over the wire fence

‘It’s really been a while, huh’

The first thing he did was to seek out a cave hidden on the side of a round

Vines,it hard to tell whether there was a cave here or not Indeed, it was the cave that faithfully served as Sae-Jin’s base for quite a length of ti tih he couldn’t wait to leave this place behind towards the end of his stay, now that he was back after all this ti in the colours of reminiscence

”Hmm…”

The Ebony Wolf hadinto the cave

”…?”

As soon as he entered, a strange object came into view On top of the stone bed he made with utmost care, there was a square box that rapped like a birthday gift

Sae-Jin slowly approached the box while totally on guard

”…Ah, maybe”

Then suddenly, he re ith him, back when he treated her as a Goblin

I’ll definitely come back later with a proper present!!

That was a pleasant memory to recall

Most likely, that box was Kim Yu-Rin’s promised present

She still hadn’t forgotten that day’s memories, not just yet

He did wait patiently for her during his stay in this cave, but maybe she was too busy ork to cootten lost trying to find the way back here

Knowing Yu-Rin’s real personality, the latter being the right possibility was quite high

‘Should I open it?’

He slowly opened the lid of the box while sently

”…”

Inside the box, there were a piece of paper and a single bracelet

One could see the deepness of Kim Yu-Rin’s kindness from this paper She wrote a letter on the backside, while on the front, she drew illustrations in consideration of the Goblin not being able to read Korean well

And this bracelet was…

[A Bracelet of Proh Quality; durability 10/10

– An artifact that brings good luck to its wearer

”A High Quality iteh Quality, though? Why would she buy so so expensive…?

Now that he looked back, Ki short on funds after buying a piece of equipift so so valuable to a Monster, when she doesn’t even knohether it’s still alive or not?’

Of course, compared to the price of the life saved, it was still on the cheap side but… Anyways, she was an angel, wasn’t she?

He gazed at the beautiful and colourful bracelet for a long ti

He stored the bracelet in his body using Spiritualisation, and then stepped out of the cave to head to the Low Tier hunting ground

The reason for heading there instead of the usual Mid Tier area was to grow his new Monster Form

Well, since Athany was a sea creature, he should have gone to the nearby East Sea, but… no clear demarcation of Monsters by their Tiers existed there

There were only two sea routes in the ocean, the safer one hts Orders, and the other which was not As for the rest of the oceans, it was hard to estimate what kind of Monsters would pop out from there

”whine, whine”

Currently, Sae-Jin changed into the Feeble Sea Monster Foroing somewhere
