Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant

For a moment, Su-ho thought he had misheard.

But the so-called Sea God repeated himself in the same booming tone.

—Kahahaha! You pathetic creatures! Not a single one of you will leave this place alive today!

His voice was so exuberant that it almost felt... jovial.

What was this?

Had this thing always been like that? Su-ho glanced up at its head, trying to check its nameplate.

But the creature was too tall. He couldn’t see it.

Still, there was no doubt—it was a boss monster.

And in that moment, Su-ho realized why he could hear such words from it.

[Animal Communicate is currently active.]

It was the ability he had copied from Kim Noah.

Understanding the truth behind it, Su-ho smirked.

‘So, at the end of the day, this thing is just an animal too, huh?’

Regardless of whether it called itself the Sea God or a boss monster, its true identity remained the same—a colossal octopus.

Just then—

“Deploy the barrier! Now!”

“Yes, sir!!”

A sharp command rang out from an unfamiliar man.

A mage.@@novelbin@@

One whom the ship’s captain had wisely stationed aboard in case of emergencies.

The commanding mage was the lead magician, and upon his order, his subordinates spread out and began chanting.

Before long, runes and spell formations appeared around the ship, coalescing into a massive protective barrier.

[A barrier has been created to protect the ship.]
[The barrier is not invincible. If the boss monster is not defeated in time, the ship will sink.]

A system alert flashed before Su-ho’s eyes.
