Inside a cold and grey rooht could penetrate

A lone wo to wear a thick black robe even indoors, was looking at the screen of her phone while sitting on a couch, while letting out a long sigh

Teeks Teeks, since the last tie to - with that man

She thought about a lot of things in the meantime

Unfortunately… the deeper her thoughts became, the more she wanted to see him

Hazeline had always thought about him constantly before, but… The emotions of a person - no, an Elf - was a really crafty and cunning thing, indeed She was fine with totally giving up because she couldn't see hiain, she also found it patently unfair that she was not allowed to see him

”…That's Mister Sae-Jin, alright”

Swearing out like a sailor on shore leave, and totally ruining the pristine ies of commonly-accepted Elven personalities in the process, Hazeline finally stumbled across the article about the website 'A Deity of Four Directions, Azure Dragon' The Hero Orc, the bipedal Wolf, the Goblin - and now, even the Azure Dragon Seriously now… it seee into

”Should I go and see him…”

Apparently, there was a cruise package that, when lucky, could see the dragon in the flesh Alternatively, since she was beset with a surplus of cash recently, she could go and buy herself a boat, ith theof a revival at the moment

…Actually, she already had got herself a speedboat that ran ona fashi+onable thing to own one aot herself one She also had driven it to those locations where the Azure Dragon was spotted previously

Although he wasn't there, the cooling ocean breezes did help her unwind fro until now

”Fuu… No, I shouldn't”

After cos for Kim Sae-Jin, she knew she had to step back and take stock of the situation

She didn't want to do this She felt frustrated But in order to not repeat the mistake of the past, she had to stop No matter how honest Elves were as well as howat it tas just too much for her A relationshi+p that shouldn't be, and that couldn't be, needed to stay within the realms of movies and TV dramas

And that's what Hazeline had decided on But before long, right there on her phone screen, it noed a new post from Sae-Jin's SNS profile which was uploaded on 14th of January

His sht, in an obvious contrast to her darkened room

20th of January, the day of 'Daehahn', also known as the day the Winter would begin with a vengeance (TL: ”대한” Basically /major cold' and denotes the coldest day in the year Apparently shrugs shoulders)

As usual, Kim Sae-Jin came out to the East Sea to swim, only to receive a phone call from Kim Sun-Ho unexpectedly

”From the Chinese?” (Sae-Jin)

- ”Yes sir One of our Mercenaries ent for a job in China has found that there see over there to kidnap the Azure Dragon”

”Huh? Why would they do that? Have they lost their damn minds?”

Sae-Jin frowned deeply Under the soles of his bare feet, sands of the Wintery beach stuck tenaciously; if he couldn't get to swiet quite cross

- ”Well, it see only to their cultural heritage has seen a surge in popularity And not just the Chinese population, but even their governovernment has apparently received a 'polite' request to lead the Azure Dragon away as well Of course, the ad that it's a nonsensical request to begin with”

”What the fu… They even cooked and ate their own Black Turtle, so what the hell are they even thinking?”

The Black Turtle, a divine beast that used to live in China But the Chinese government killed it, in order to solve theat the ti to their excuse, it was a Mercenary troupe that illegally carried out the deed, but… Well, there was just no way in hell that any sane country would leave alone a band of Mercenaries that had caused such a huge chaos

- ”I know, right? Since we don't knohat's going to happen, we changed what infor on the user's level on the website… But still, be careful out there”

”I got it… But, you don't have to worry about me When out in the open sea, I'm pretty much invincible”

From his experiences so far, there was no creature alive that could defeat a Leviathan within the oceanic environment

Both Kim Yu-Sohn and his son, Sun-Ho, had stressed that Bathory was far er… But because of the Leviathan's pride, he found hi, really - how often could one find a creature that easily solo-ed a Boss-level Monster?

- ”Still, I'uard up, sir By the way, are you planning to swim today as well?”

”Yes I'ht over here Instead Please find out fora upper Mid Tier Knight”

- ”…Yes sir Understood”

Sae-Jin ended the call with Ki into the baby Leviathan

The moment he came in contact with the cold water, his ether

He couldn't tell whether he was addicted to this feeling, or if this was the feared side effects of the Leviathan Forrowth, but he knew very well that, he'd be unable to stay still if he didn't come to the ocean at least three, four times a week

”Ghereung, ghereung~~”

A warm smile crept up on his face as he entrusted his body to the ocean's currents

The brightly shi+ning sunlight and gentle undulation of the ocean; even the chilly Winter winds felt refreshi+ng to him, who possessed thick scales all over his body It was allass of cold water in the middle of a hot Summer day

And so, that was how he swaaze at theto avoid the grip of Winter and thought - aren't they muffin's favourite type of snack?

And so, about thirty minutes had passed like that

Sae-Jin sensed a strange flow of Mana He definitely felt this sensation, even though he was as good as half asleep at that tirew stronger

However, this was the sea Also, he didn't feel threatened by it, so he ended up notit at all

And that was how it proved to be too late, by the time the sky suddenly beca became isolated from the rest of the world

The surrounding world si the sea, and only darkness remained where he was Sae-Jin hurriedly opened his eyes and looked around

'An isolation barrier?'

Was this China's doing? But wasn't this too fast? Sae-Jin's brain spun really quickly as he tried to figure out what the hell was going on, but when he took a whiff of a certain s from the darkness, his expression hardened

[We will now carry out our mission as planned]

Se - they could only be the Vampires

Initially, there was only one, but then, the presences began increasing quickly

Two, four, eight, then sixteen… Sae-Jin couldn't help but s his saliva in nervousness at the alar increase in Vampires' numbers

[Its appearance is really cute, isn't it? Can I touch it once we knock it out?]

A fe He couldn't understand a thing she said, but she still gave him the creeps, so he slowly backtracked a bit

[…Even you're acting like this now? Don't be careless, for this creature can deal with a Boss Monster alone]

[I' careless]

When this woman smiled and opened her arms wide, a crimson-coloured whip suddenly nal; the rest of the Vaic spells

Whatever the casehim For now, Sae-Jin suspected that they were here because he had disrupted their plans by killing the Flesh Golem

'Do I need to fight as the Leviathan?'

Sae-Jin fell into a dilemma It was more than likely that the Leviathan Forht now But in this space where there was no water, it e into another Form

He quickly looked at the darkness surrounding the area

The Leviathan Form allowed him to understand all types of Mana flow that he came in contact with

Although this place looked like the inside of an isolation barrier, it actually was not Most likely… he was trapped in a 'Fissure', the space existing between different worlds

And so, Sae-Jin was finally enlightened on just how all those Monster incidents happening all over the world were being carried out If these bastards could artificially create Fissures, then calling out Monsters would be easier than taking a candy off from a baby's hands

'In that case, even the Lycan Forh'
