Chapter 140 (1/2)

It was an incredibly unpleasant and uncoes’ during the instant trans the unpleasantness of his entire body breaking down torebuilt in a flash, Sae-Jin staggered as he opened his eyes

He found hiht away, spotted Bathory keeled over on the ground not too far, busy vo out mouthful of blood

The first thing he thought of was ”Is this another chance?”

Unfortunately though - the Mana cannon was a one-hit-kill attack that sucked up every drop of Mana frorettably, he didn’t have much Mana left within him

SFX for vomit Yuck

Bathory made uncool noises as she continued to vomit out blood However, Sae-Jin already understood that her actions were actually a part of the recovery process, where she expelled dead blood out of her body to replace it with fresh one instead It was one of the bits of knowledge he gained after ingesting the scale of the adult Leviathan

However, he had no idea why the knowledge about Vah

Whatever the case may have been, he couldn’t help but worry about the near future when her pain would be replaced by her fury

Since he heard that Bathory liked torturing people, there were more reasons now to spin his brain faster than ever before

It was then, he recalled a certain Skill called the ‘Dark Energy Link’ This Skill received a few additional upgrades when he ‘evolved’, so its usefulness had increased by a great deal

And a quite nicely within Sae-Jin’s recollection were as thus:

[Dark Energy Link]

– Not only emotions such as ‘Fear’ and ‘Terror’, but even physical sensations such as ‘Pain’ and ‘Pleasure’ can be used to form the Link

– However, when the Link is formed with sensation as the medium, while the experienced sensation will be shared, no other functions will manifest

Obviously, a Link of subainst a bigshot like Bathory On the flip side, though - the Link formed with ‘sensation’ could be a possibility Plus, she was currently experiencing acute pain right now

However, nothe Leviathan Fory Link was a Skill he needed to use in the Lycanthrope For about the best results But, for now, he maintained the Leviathan Form and sneaked in closer to Bathory’s position

”You shouldn’t waste your ti You can’t hurt h”

While listening to her chilly declaration and the follow-up noise of retching, Sae-Jin cautiously activated the Eyes of the Wolf He could sort of see a ‘shadow’ of pain hovering near her back But he found out that, as a Leviathan, he couldn’t pull that energy towards him and form a link

He closed his eyes He told himself that he only needed to succeed once

Now nor cruel towards others would not be able to adjust to being treated cruelly in return - most of the time

The body of the Leviathan began to shrink before anyone could notice it

The head of the dragon changed to a shape of a person’s, while the shrinking body h to seerown htly packedin his arms And, the wild, macho silvery fur that warmly covered that rock-hard body…

He changed into the Lycanthrope

Now that he looked through this beast’s eyes, the dark energy hovering on top of the woman was far more distinct and clearer

The only strand of energy he could touch right noas ‘pain’ So, Sae-Jin extended his finger and beckoned the link for ‘pain’ to coer Sae-Jin cautiously studied this, before…

Kwack!!

He grabbed the energy and shoved it down his throat

Immediately, Bathory’s eyes shi+fted towards his direction, and at the same time, several alert s popped up into his view

[The Dark Energy Link has been established against an overwhelly powerful existence!]

[Condition complete: S the Heavens (1/2)]

[All Stats for the Lycanthrope Forin!]

[The Lycanthrope Form’s unique Skill, ‘Senses of a Wolf’ has been acquired!]

[When the last condition is e]

Hisnoises as the body of the Lycanthrope began rapidly increasing in its size Bathory co presence, and when she saw him, she completely lost her sht

”&!!! What the hell!! Who the fck are you, you disgusting scum?!”

She violently swung her arms around Sae-Jin belatedly raised his ars totally transcended his iination Bones in his arms shattered into smithereens, and the shock wave slaans

It was such a nonsensically powerful attack, had he been a normal person, he would have died instantly

Fortunately enough, that pain was shared with her, too And no, it wasn’t so of pain - instead, she would feel the full brunt of the physical pain Sae-Jin experienced in that moment

That hy it should be considered norh pitched tone

”Kkyaaaaaaahck!!!!”

Bathory screaround From now on, it was a battle of recuperative powers and endurance between the two Who could recover faster, and who could endure more pain?

Sae-Jin was feeling confident of his odds After all, the Lycanthropes of the legends were often called the ‘race of ienerative powers that far outstripped other races And on top of this, he had over 100 healing and recovery potions ‘Spiritualised’ and stored within his body right at this moment, as well

Soht call all the preparations he did si ‘bad’ was utter garbage The more, the better Anytime

[Kobhack!!]

Co in the blink of an eye, Bathory spat out a word that kind of sounded like a curse hile reaching out towards Sae-Jin’s direction

And so, the chain of one-sided beating and an in earnest

The secret conference room was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere Everyone present carried somber expressions and spoke not a word Without a doubt, their plan failed Of course, it was still so wiped out

But, no one dared to raise this point The ih for that

SFX for the second hand of the clock ticking away

The heavy silence, where only the ticking of the second hand could be heard, finally got broken by the alar off from someone’s mobile phone

Ki out the h

”…Well, it’s fro What should I do?”

At the sahs also leaked out

And as everyone here ondering how to reply to Yu Sae-Jung, Yu Baek-Song stepped up with a serious face

”We keep everything as a secret fro)

”…After hiding the truth, and then what?” (Hazeline)

Hazeline asked, her voice tre heavily She cried her eyes out so nition

”As long as Kim Sae-Jin remains as a Leviathan, he won’t die All we have to do is rescue hi)

”With us alone?” (Hazeline)

”With other people, too” (Yu Baek-Song)

”No, wait You, listen here…” (Hazeline)

Hazeline wanted to say so to counter her, but in the end, she became overcome with emotions and buried her face on the table onceseemed to blanket the silent conference room

”…Stop crying, you idiot The news of the Azure Dragon being kidnapped will be enough Koreans love the Azure Dragon, after all When we break the news that the Vaon, they will help us Yup, I’m sure of it”
