The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 118

The Battle Between Sung JiHan and Hojo.

The outcome of the battle was clearly leaning towards Hojo, the leader of the Bonghwangdae clan.

While Sung JiHan had certainly shown insane performances up until now, he was now a player who had just reached the Gold rank.

On the other hand, Hojo was a formidable opponent who ruled as a powerful mid-boss in the map "One Bridge," which was also used in the Diamond League.

Even in the strategy for the defense map, it was common to leave the task of dealing with Hojo to the secret weapon.

When the clash between the two began.

- Um... do you think JiHan can win?

- How did he even think he could win against Hojo? Haha, but if he can hold on a little longer, the secret weapon will help.

- Yeah, I noticed that JiHan suddenly became very friendly towards Hojo. He probably won't let him die.

- Before coming to rescue him, all he has to do is not die against Hojo~~^^7

- That seems difficult haha

The viewers naturally expected that the secret weapon would intervene in the battle between the two.

And even Sung JiHan, who went to fight against Hojo, had a similar thought.

"I've already gained recognition."

Originally, Sung JiHan had intended to face Hojo in order to gain recognition from the secret weapon.

But somehow, he had already absorbed the lightning before the fight even started and gained recognition.

So technically, there was no need for him to fight against Hojo, but seeing the Bonghwang made him lose his mind and the battle began.

Before fighting against Hojo, Sung JiHan organized his thoughts.

"I should handle it moderately and cooperate with the secret weapon when it comes to support."

He couldn't just leave the secret weapon, who was showing friendly gestures, alone.

However.

The situation unfolded completely differently from everyone's expectations.

"This. This lightning... what the hell...!"

Crackle!

Hojo quickly moved his sword to block the lightning bombs that shot out from the Bonghwang.

He managed to block the main force of the lightning bombs, but the current flowing through his sword reached out and burned his hand and arm.

"Why... why is it so strong!?"

His skin melted instantly, along with the flesh, blood, and even the bones inside.

Thanks to the regenerative ability of the giant race, his disappearing arms and hands were immediately regenerated.

But Hojo couldn't understand the situation itself.

The physical body of the giant race was not this weak.

It wasn't even a direct hit from the lightning, yet his arm ended up like this due to the residual current.

"Well..."

Sung JiHan, as if he himself was amazed, aimed his spear at Hojo.

Flash!

When a white current shot out towards Hojo again.

"Ugh...!"

He hurriedly tried to block it.

Compared to Hojo, who was being pushed back miserably, Sung JiHan's lightning bombs were becoming stronger.

"It's so easy to use the Heavenly Thunder Divine Decision."

With the addition of the rare stat, Brain, and the combination of the lightning and the Bonghwang, he was able to use the Wall Lightning Bomb like a basic martial art.

The exploration was over by now.

"Where should I rampage properly?"

As if starting from now, Sung JiHan continuously cast the Wall Lightning Bomb.

Quarrrr-!

"Ugh!"

Hojo's sword danced brilliantly to block the lightning, but he couldn't block all of Sung JiHan's deliberate Wall Lightning Bombs.

The lightning bombs hit his entire body.

Fwoooosh-!

From the area that was hit, a white flame quickly rose.

And then, not long after, the burning flesh turned into ashes and disappeared.

The giant's body was instantly severed into pieces and fell to the ground.

"This... I can't accept this..."

Sssss-

Although Hojo regained his limbs through his super-regeneration ability,

he was already in a state of losing half of his power.

Even if he were to be struck by a single lightning bolt, a part of him would be blown away. How could he continue the battle?

Seeing Hojo unable to charge forward, Sung JiHan hesitated and spoke.

"You, were you undead?"

"What... What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Seeing how weak you are against lightning, you seem like an undead."

The extreme contrast between the undead and the Thunder God's decision.

Combined with the Cloud Window Thunder and the powerful Phoenix's White Flame against the undead,

the wall of lightning emitted by Sung JiHan was nothing short of the ultimate weapon against the undead.

"Although it doesn't look like an undead at all on the surface..."

The appearance is similar to that of a giant with armor.

There is no trace of the typical aura of death from the undead.

When he regenerates, his blood and flesh return to a completely healthy state.

Apart from being ridiculously weak against the wall of lightning, there was no evidence of being undead.

Is that why?

Hojo strongly denied Sung JiHan's speculation.

"What nonsense is this! Me, undead?"

"Well, you'll know once you die."

Nameless Divine Art

Thunder God's Decision

Brain God's Lightning Body

Fzzz...!

Sung JiHan's body gradually became transparent, and white lightning appeared on his body.

The Brain God, who equates himself with his lightning.

The appearance was slightly different from when he usually used it.

"There's no need to follow the orthodox path."

There is no need for the Brain God to only combine with the aura of lightning.

It would be more effective against the undead if it absorbed the full power of the Phoenix's White Flame.

As Sung JiHan's transparent body, even a white flame began to emerge.

"Ahem...!"

Hojo trembled slightly.

That power instinctively felt like his natural enemy.

Whip! Whip!

As if denying that feeling, Hojo swung his sword fiercely towards Sung JiHan.

Despite disappearing and regenerating multiple times, the giant's attack remained powerful.

Hojo's sword quickly reached Sung JiHan's head.

"This, this can't be!"

Bijang, who was watching the battle from behind, tried to intervene, but it was already too late.

It felt like Hojo's sword would split Sung JiHan's head in half at any moment.

But.

"Kuh!"

The sword couldn't go any further than Sung JiHan's forehead.

Zzzt...!

It was because he couldn't withstand the current emitted from Sung JiHan in his Brain God state.

The closer he got to Sung JiHan, the more his entire body burned.

"It's... impossible...!"

Against the current transmitted through the sword, he was too weak.

The giant, who seemed like he would lose the sword at any moment, as his arms disappeared and regenerated.

At that moment.

Kwarrurur!

The lightning bolt of the thunder thrown urgently from behind by Sung JiHan struck Hojo.

Crackle-!

Regardless of whether it was a weapon with the same electrical attribute, the thunder of Sung JiHan's thunder could not easily penetrate Hojo's armor.

Instead, the electrical energy of the thunder was absorbed by Hojo's armor and dissipated without any effect.

"This is how it should be... How?"

Hojo shouted as if he felt unjust.

No, even though the lightning bolt thrown by Sung JiHan, the owner of the Cloud Window, was blocked by the armor.

Why is this person so helpless against me?

"It's fascinating, isn't it?"

Thud!

The phoenix spear pierced through Hojo's body in an instant.

Unlike the attack from Sung JiHan earlier.

The white spear pierced through the giant's heart without any resistance.

"Why am I the only one weak?"

Hojo couldn't answer Sung JiHan's question.

Rumble...!

With his heart pierced, he quickly turned into ashes and disappeared.

And as if to announce that Hojo was completely dead.

[Special Achievement, 'Subdue Hojo.' has been cleared.]

[Obtained 10,000 achievement points as a reward.]

[Special Achievement, 'Subdue Hojo Alone.' has been cleared.]

[Obtained 30,000 achievement points as a reward.]

As the achievement completion message appeared, Hojo, who had lost his master, and only his armor fell onto the Cloud Bridge.

"......"

And Sung JiHan, who was rushing to help, was speechless when he saw that.

* * *

"Hojo... is dead?"

Sung JiHan couldn't understand the current situation.

Hojo, the leader of the Phoenix Clan.

His strength was better known by Sung JiHan, who was also a member of the Giant Clan.

He was one of the Five Great Chiefs of the Wind Empire.

He was not a presence that could be easily defeated by Sung JiHan like that.

-Why did Hojo die so quickly?

-Wasn't he originally not harder than the final boss of this map?

-Yeah, it's a common rule to leave it to Sung JiHan since his damage and regeneration are so strong.

And the viewers watching Sung JiHan's broadcast were equally dumbfounded.

Hojo, who appeared in the defense map, 'One Leg,' although he was a mid-boss in terms of position.

His patterns were so difficult and his regeneration ability was at an insane level, so from the player's perspective, he was more difficult than the final boss.

So Hojo was left to fight against Sung JiHan.

Players preserved their full power, conserving their strength even a little until they faced the final boss. It was the basic strategy.

But.

That powerful presence.

Was easily crushed by Sung JiHan's spear.

-Wow... Was Hojo really undead? So he's weak against holy power?

-No, that can't be, right? Based on the previous experiments, he had resistance to both holy magic and elemental magic.

-Yeah, he even withstood the lightning bolt thrown by Sung JiHan earlier.

Even though Sung JiHan's game was already like that.

Subduing Hojo this time was a result that was even more incomprehensible than usual.

Why did Sung JiHan show a perfect affinity with Hojo only?

"You... How did you do it?"

"Well, if I had to guess, it seemed like Hojo was weak against the flames of the phoenix. He couldn't use his power against the phoenix spear combined with the thunder."

"Hojo, the leader of the Phoenix Clan, is weak against the power of the phoenix... That's unusual."

Sung JiHan, who created unexpected results himself, thought of the variable, the phoenix spear.

The White Flame, Heavenly Thunder Divine Decision, and Thunder.

Undead and extremely powerful beings gathered together and merged, resulting in a tremendous effect.

Although the effect was remarkable, it seemed unnatural for a formidable opponent like Hojo to have his weaknesses instantly disappear.

"Secure the divine beasts!"

Meanwhile, the Bonghwangdae, who had lost their leader, were solely focused on targeting the Bonghwang floating in the sky, without mentioning Hojo.

"Charge!"

Clatter, clatter...

On the other side of the cloud bridge, the cavalry charged with precise coordination.

One of the Bonghwangdae sneered, as if mocking their insignificance.

"What's the use without Hojo?"

Thud, thud.

The Bonghwangdae approached Sung JiHan, walking towards him.

"You should take a break."

With his spear in hand, Bonghwang charged alone towards the Bonghwangdae.

If the game had progressed as usual, Bonghwang would have been exhausted from fighting Hojo.

However, due to Hojo being easily subdued by Sung JiHan, he was full of energy.

Boom! Boom!

As Bonghwang swung his enlarged thunderbolt like a bat, the spear infantry unit quickly fell apart.

Although the Bonghwangdae numbered in the hundreds, they were helpless against the special terrain of the bridge and the immense power of the giant Bonghwang.

"They fight well."

Just as Bonghwang said, their charge was futile against the giant.

Even when Bonghwang effortlessly blew away the spear infantry.

They tried to find openings and approach Sung JiHan, but it was useless.

"Have you come?"

Even if they were at their level, they were weak compared to Hojo.

Chiiing!

They were all easily pierced by the Bonghwang's flames and turned into dust.

"These guys also disappear like Hojo..."

Those who bear the name of Bonghwang seem to be the weakest against the flames of the Bonghwang.

I don't know why they are like that, but for now, I'll consider it as experience.

While I was busy eliminating the black spear infantry.
