The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Thump. Thump.

The advancing undead legion from outer space had a different color from the typical undead.

The entire legion was dyed in a dark blue, the color of Kill the King.

In addition, instead of eye sockets where the eyeballs were already missing, there were flickering lights.

They were different from the typical undead army in many ways.

-They shall die. They shall die and gather under our flag.

-Be equal!

They all spoke at the same time.

Skeletons and zombies.

They all spoke in unison, talking about equality.

"That sound... It's so annoying."

All things are equal in the face of death, so Kill the King wanted them to die and become one.

Even when Korea was destroyed in my previous life, I constantly heard that sound.

"But maybe because it's the Silver Promotion Battle, there are no ghost troops yet."

Sung JiHan looked at the advancing Kill the King troops.

The basic composition of the enemy legion was the weakest undead, skeletons and zombies.

Of course, the undead dyed in that dark blue were much stronger compared to ordinary undead.

But compared to ghosts, they were much easier to deal with.

"Sophia, give me buffs."

"Yes!"

Sung JiHan received various buffs from Sophia, who possessed the Trinity, and summoned the Phoenix.

The Phoenix was definitely inferior in performance compared to the Shadow Sword Eclipse, but there was nothing better to contain the supreme power of Thunderbolt against the undead.

"Ariel, block the enemy on the city wall."

And since he couldn't contain Thunderbolt, he summoned Ariel instead.

"Are they Kill the King? I've only heard the name, but it's my first time seeing them in person."

Summoned Ariel crossed her arms and looked down at the city wall.

A faint discomfort arose on her face as she watched the undead.

"It's a disgustingly chaotic black magic... Yet there is a strange unity hidden within it."

"Is that so?"

"Master, I can't absorb that black magic. If I eat it, it will interfere with the power of the Shadow Sword."

"Then just deal with the enemy."

"Understood."

Sung JiHan left Ariel on the city wall and jumped down while holding the Phoenix.

Thump!

Towards him, who landed lightly on the ground.

-Be equal!

A part of the undead legion advanced.

Unlike the zombie horde that charged instinctively like the 10 towers, these enemies systematically pressed forward in rows.

Although they moved as one body, they were quite well-organized.

"But they're still undead."

Sung JiHan, who brought forth the power of Thunderbolt, swung the Phoenix lightly.

Nameless Divine Art.

Three Ultimate Techniques.

Sweeping Across Thousands of Armies.

Chi-iik!

One strike.

All the approaching undead were instantly torn to pieces.

And from the cracks, white flames rose.

-Ah...

In an instant, hundreds of undead turned into dust and disappeared.

Then.

Thud-

All the undead army stopped moving at once.

Starting with the skeletons that had separated to face Sung JiHan.

Ignoring them, even the main enemy force trying to cross the castle walls.

Everyone stopped moving and stared only at Sung JiHan, their red eyes flashing.

- King!

They all opened their mouths and uttered a single word.

King.

As soon as they saw Sung JiHan's attack.

They called him the king.

- The one who will become king!

At the same time, the movements of the undead army changed.

The disciplined and orderly formation resembling elite soldiers disappeared.

- Kill the king!

Everyone shouted to kill the king and started rushing towards Sung JiHan as if they were insane.

The undead rushed towards him like a tidal wave.

Although it seemed chaotic and haphazard, there were no gaps.

When the zombies rushed towards the 10 towers, they often got tangled and trampled on each other.

But there was no sign of that happening to them.

Still.

"He is not my opponent."

Hwung!

When Sung JiHan cast Hwangsogeon again, hundreds of undead rose up at once.

Sung JiHan's attack seemed too easy.

From the viewpoint of the relay stone, it was just a simple horizontal slash, a very straightforward attack.

But when the spear drew a few light traces.

- Kill the king!

The sound of killing the king gradually faded.

Whoosh!

The battlefield began to burn with white flames.

It was an overwhelmingly dominant appearance for being ranked third in the odds.

And his one-man show.

It was being broadcast live worldwide through Channel 0.

* * *

=Christoph... What kind of attack is that? It looks like he lightly swung his spear, but the undead army is being wiped out.

=Hahaha! It's a common attack used by Sung. It's a sweeping attack that easily wipes out those undead. It's a horizontal slash, just like that!

A month ago, Christoph was just a fan in name.

But now, he watches Sung JiHan's broadcast and has become a true fan.

He interpreted it with a sarcastic tone, as if saying, "What's so surprising about this?"

=But that undead army is not actually weak at all. The players in the southern direction seem to be struggling against the undead...

The relay screen showed the southern castle wall at the right time.

90 players were assigned to the south.

Unlike the peaceful atmosphere in the north, fierce battles were unfolding there.

"Lightning Storm!"

Kururur...

As Balan reached his hand towards the sky, the sky instantly filled with dark clouds.

It was the area-of-effect magic Balan had newly acquired for this promotion match, Lightning Storm.

When he lowered his finger, intense lightning bolts continuously poured down to the ground.

It had a powerful presence that was too strong to be attributed to Silver's usage.

But.

Thud- Thud-

Unlike when facing Sung JiHan,

They did not fall even in the lightning.

The bones and skin of the dark blue undead were charred.

- Be equal!

The legion advanced with one voice, shouting for equality.

"Why aren't they dying?"

Bae-ran expressed his dissatisfaction.

Low-level undead monsters, skeletons and zombies.

They were just different in color, but it was surprising how tough they were, even though their forms were the same.

"Fire Wave!"

Using powerful magic consecutively, some of the enemies were finally annihilated.

However, it was impossible to completely suppress the undead legion charging towards the castle wall all at once.

=...The situation is quite different from the north. The undead legion is overcoming the magic and approaching the castle wall!

=That's normal. It may seem like a competition of the castle, but defense maps are originally team games! You can't defeat the legion alone!

=I understand why the castle received a balance patch.

=Yes. But it seems like the patch is still lacking! We still need to adjust the balance more!

As the undead legion overcame the magic bombardment and climbed up the castle wall, a fierce battle unfolded.

Among them, the most noticeable was Wang Lin from China.

"Tianma Shenjiang!"

As the red energy soared from his hand, the sturdy skeleton's head shattered.

Indeed, as a player who received the highest evaluation in the payout rate, he was suppressing the enemies one by one, maneuvering through the undead legion.

=Wang Lin is quite powerful!

=Yes. While other players are struggling against the undead legion, he, who possesses the gift of Tianma Jiche, is quite relaxed in dealing with the enemies!

=If it weren't for Bae-ran and Wang Lin, the southern castle wall would have already been captured.

=Yes. That's true, but...

- Be equal!

Bang!

The soldier who was assisting the players, the "Guardian," was destroyed.

"Ugh. Why are these guys so strong...!"

Crack!

The players also started to fall one by one.

The undead legion, shouting for equality like fanatics, pushed the opponents systematically.

No matter how powerful Bae-ran and Wang Lin were, they couldn't completely change the tide of the battlefield, so the southern castle wall was gradually being taken over by the undead controlled by Kill the King.

"This... This can't be true..."

Watching the TV, Lee Ha-yeon trembled and bit her nails.

No.

'Why is this happening again...'

The system intervened.

The Battle.net system directly applied the balance patch.

But why are the results turning out like this?

"Wang Lin...! Why is Tianma so weak!"

Wasn't Tianma the strongest existence in the martial arts world?

With the SSS-grade gift of Tianma Jiche, shouldn't he be able to blow away enemies with a single gust of wind?

"What is that! A fan would be stronger than that! With Tianma Shenjiang, everything should be wiped out in one strike! What a waste of a name!"

"Miss, that's already very powerful. Other warrior players are struggling to deal with even one undead. Wang Lin has already killed 50."

Im Ga-yeong, who was also a warrior, corrected her words from behind.

Tianma Wang Lin.

He was showing remarkable performance.

While other warriors were easily overwhelmed and killed by even one undead.

Wang Lin, with Tianma Shenjiang, was clearly striking and annihilating the enemies one by one.

He was definitely a player beyond the level of silver.

However.

"Ugh... Owner, you... caught over a thousand by yourself!"

"Oh. That's beside the point. I'm alone in the divine realm."

The light of the celestial horse was only a faint glimmer, as other comparison groups were making insane achievements.

-The one who will become king!

-Kill the king!

No cries could be heard from the southern battlefield.

The indigo undead surrounded Sung JiHan and shouted "Kill the king!"

Balran and Wang Rin, who had never considered themselves kings, were surrounded by the undead.

Sung JiHan was determined to kill them no matter what.

No matter how they attacked, the undead couldn't even touch Sung JiHan's clothes.

"The end is in sight."

As Sung JiHan spun the phoenix feather fan.

Chi-ik!

The undead army was torn apart and scattered.

In a one-to-many fight, there was no room for even a single step, overwhelming with absolute dominance.

-Why is that person the only one who's invincible?

-That's how it's always been lol, Sung JiHan is always slaughtering.

-I knew this would happen, so I bet my entire fortune on Sung JiHan!

-Sneaky Koreans! They were the only ones who knew about this honey trap!

-Nah, don't worry... We're also doubting and getting punished...

-I'm an idiot for trusting BattleNet ㅠㅠ

-To be honest, BattleNet was trustworthy, right?

-Ughhhhh where did the balance patch go!

In the official live broadcast video of BattleTube, the viewers' reactions poured in.

The majority of the chat was filled with people who had blindly trusted the system and lost money.

-Playing around with balance adjustments??!! If you were going to adjust it like this, you should have made an announcement!!

Yi Ha-yeon was also included in this.

"Miss. Even though you're the guild master, it's a bit... to be typing in the chat like that."

"I'm not the guild master right now, I'm just an individual named Yi Ha-yeon! Are you kidding me, BattleNet! If you were going to do this, you should have made a big announcement!"

"Oh. Yes."

Looking at Yi Ha-yeon, who had been pouring out curses at BattleNet since morning, Im Ga-young gave up trying to stop her.

Instead, she smiled, thinking about her own bet.

"I should have bet against her... I should have done it earlier."

It was regrettable that she hadn't realized until now that there was such an easy way to make money.

When the game was about to end.

-Kk... Kkk... This won't do.

The undead, who had been shouting for equality, suddenly laughed strangely and stopped moving.

Like marionettes with their strings cut, they fell to the ground and were instantly absorbed into the ground, disappearing.

Unlike the fierce battle in the south, the enemy had completely disappeared in the north.

-Oh! Did the battle in the north end like this? Player Sung. Are you once again securing first place?!

-Well... It's not quite like that, but the atmosphere is not looking good.

Even before the commentary of the broadcasters ended.

Thud!

The central part of the castle wall behind Sung JiHan collapsed.

-Oh, no!

-What's happening all of a sudden...?!

The BattleNet live camera focused on the collapsed castle wall.

There.

Completely crushed under the giant handprint, the sight of the collapsed central wall was clearly visible.

"Oh. Oh... What, what is this! Could it be a balance patch!?"

And in the eyes of Yi Ha-yeon, who was in despair, a glimmer of hope appeared.
