The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

* * *

-They were all captured, lol.

-He's obsessed with getting a pentakill in the well, wow.

-He could have just killed them outside, but he throws them into the sanctuary, lol.

-It was impressive enough that he was able to hide, but finding them and capturing them is even more legendary, lol.

In the intense 5v5 battle at the end of the game on the Abyssal Rift map, one player flies around alone, capturing all the opponents and throwing them into the sanctuary?

Logically, it was an unbelievable sight.

However.

If that player is Sung JiHan, it was a situation that everyone could understand.

"Now..."

Zzzz-

From Sung JiHan's left hand, Eclipse extends, and a bright current envelops it.

The target to be destroyed this time is the demon faction's shield.

It was more efficient to attack it with the light attribute.

However.

Zzzz-

The white current on the sword was actually weakening the power of the shadows.

[Master. Eclipse's level is still too low to embrace the power of light. It will only have a negative effect.]

"As I thought, it won't work."

[When it reaches SSS rank, it will be able to enhance all attributes, but for now, it can only enhance the dark attribute.]

If it reaches SSS rank, it can enhance all attributes. That's impressive.

However, for now, it was inevitable that the Eclipse, a shadow sword, and the Thunder of Heaven, which had completely opposite powers, couldn't be used together.

Sung JiHan sheathes his sword and takes out the Phoenix Spear from his inventory.

"Three more left."

It was the Phoenix Spear that he had used twice when he completed the Shadow Queen quest.

If he throws it three more times, the item will disappear.

If he wants to continue using this item like a spear, he just needs to consciously avoid throwing it.

"But there's no need to save it."

It has been useful so far, but it's just an A-rank item.

When he grows stronger, he will need to use better items, so there was no need to be too attached to this one.

He'll use it when he needs to.

Zzzz-!

The white current rushes through the Phoenix Spear.

Unlike with Eclipse, the Phoenix Spear, which contains the power of fire, goes well with Thunder of Heaven.

Soon, the Phoenix Spear is covered in white flames and emits a powerful aura.

"The gods are greatly wary of the power that threatens the demon's sanctuary!"

"The gods hold the flames of death!"

Just like when he attacked the Angel's Sanctuary, lightning struck down.

When he attacked the demon's sanctuary, flames erupted from Sung JiHan's feet.

It felt like the black flames would engulf his body at any moment.

Mumyeong Shingong (Nameless Divine Technique)

Bobup (Walking Technique)

Seomcheonroebosan Cheonraebo (Flash Thunder Step)

Sung JiHan's new form leaps high into the sky, beyond the reach of the flames rising from the ground.

Sung JiHan, who used his powers to levitate in the sky, fiercely ignited the phoenix statue.

Then, within the phoenix statue, a powerful force that couldn't be completely suppressed raged, and white currents and flames flickered.

[The protection of the sanctuary is enhanced by the divine messenger!]

[The divine messenger's scythe directly protects the sanctuary!]

Perhaps he felt an unusual energy.

The divine messenger's scythe, which protects the demon faction, flew to the sanctuary preemptively.

The situation allowed Sung JiHan to see how powerful the force he emitted from the sky was.

Sung JiHan looked at the currents that spread out in all directions, unable to be contained within the phoenix statue.

"It's still difficult to fully control."

One of the three secret techniques of the Nameless Martial Arts, Heavenly Thunder Secret Technique.

It had great destructive power, but it was equally difficult to control.

Especially now, using the skill "Nameless Martial Arts" without any backup, it was even more difficult to use.

"But it's easier than when I was in Bronze."

Compared to level 25, his stats had increased significantly, allowing him to better control the power of the heavenly thunder that spread out in all directions.

Sung JiHan gathered his strength.

Nameless Martial Arts (無名神功)

Heavenly Thunder Secret Technique (天雷神訣)

Wall-Shattering Lightning (霹靂閃雷)

The phoenix falling from the sky.

The lightning contained within it turned into a massive thunderbolt.

[The divine messenger uses a secret move to prevent the humiliation of the sanctuary.]

[The divine messenger's scythe splits, strengthening the sanctuary.]

Before the lightning struck, Sung JiHan had already predicted that he wouldn't be able to stop it.

The system message saying that the divine messenger's scythe had split appeared before Sung JiHan's eyes.

However.

"It doesn't matter."

Chi-ik!

When the dark protective barrier was temporarily breached, the bodies of the five players inside turned into charcoal.

Although the massive wall-shattering lightning had briefly pierced through the divine messenger's scythe, it was blocked.

But the players inside couldn't withstand the brief firepower.

[Penta-kill!]

[Player Sung JiHan has achieved a penta-kill!]

A power that was much more overwhelming than when he pierced through the protection of the Archangel.

This was possible because Sung JiHan's level had increased by 5 compared to before, and he used the most powerful Heavenly Thunder Secret Technique among the three secret techniques of the Nameless Martial Arts.

[Obtained fragments of the divine messenger's scythe.]

[Quest item. Automatically stored in the inventory.]

[Linked quest - Traces of the Apostle (1) cleared.]

[Obtained 20,000 achievement points as a reward.]

[The linked quest continues as Traces of the Apostle (2).]

"I finally cleared it."

Sung JiHan smiled lightly and examined the contents of the linked quest.

[Linked quest - Traces of the Apostle (2)]

-The apostle, who does not belong to either light or darkness, has devised a plan to exploit the conflict between the two factions and is hiding beneath a deep lake.

-The cunning apostle, "Viscount Naseed," will move upon seeing the destruction of the weapons of the Archangel and the divine messenger.

-Throw the fragments of the two divine waters into the lake and subdue the viscount in the lake.

-Reward: Void Curtain / Achievement Points 50,000

*Note: This quest will disappear when promoted to the Silver League.

"Really, catch the Seed Viscount?"

Sung JiHan, who checked the linked quest, was dumbfounded.

The reward itself was enormous.

Just like when he completed the Shadow Queen-related quest, he would receive 50,000 achievement points.

The reward called "Void Curtain" didn't seem ordinary either.

However, there was a reason for giving it like that.

"The Seed Viscount... It's a monster that Platinum players hunt in groups."

Starting from level 100, the Platinum League.

The Seed Viscount was a monster that could only be hunted after receiving full buffs from the five players belonging to it.

It was a quest with such a good reward to ask a Silver player to hunt a monster that required five Platinum players to defeat.

"It's impossible to catch it right now."

Sung JiHan made a calm judgment.

He was lacking the power to catch the Seed Viscount with his current strength.

"I should challenge it when I'm close to level 50."

Thinking that he should level up more for now, Sung JiHan watched as the demon faction's main base exploded.

[Achieved a Penta Kill in the sanctuaries of both factions.]

[Cleared the hidden quest, 'Total Domination.']

[Obtained 30,000 achievement points.]

The angel and demon factions.

Rewards for achieving a Penta Kill came from both sides.

"This game is quite profitable."

Sung JiHan logged out with a satisfied smile.

* * *

The exclusive terminal for private planes at Gimpo Airport.

There, the private plane of the American First Guild landed.

The people who got off the plane were two blond white men and women.

Both of them had outstanding appearances and tall heights, making them stand out.

Click. Click.

"Oh... They really came."

"Baron and Sophia, did you really come to join the top guild?"

"American First sent two people... So they make 10 billion won a month?"

"It's a cheap price considering they're raising promising talents."

The reporters chatted among themselves and took pictures of the two promising talents.

Although they were both only Silver-ranked.

Since the two people, who possessed SSS-grade and SS-grade gifts, were already widely known in the BattleNet industry, they had value to be covered.

While watching the flashes popping from all directions, Baron frowned.

"Damn... They're taking pictures of me even in this country? How did they find out? Did Sung, that bastard, send them?"

Sophia, who was listening to his words, blinked her blue eyes.

"Baron. Do you really think Sung would do that?"

"It's possible. Even if the Guild Master of the top guild comes to the United States, what do you think is the reason for calling us here?"

Robert Gates politely requested that the Guild Master come to the United States.

He even promised to give substantial additional rewards, in addition to the GP to be paid for the existing lease contract, if the Guild Master came in person.

"I heard that the female guild master had a quite positive attitude towards her business trip to the United States. Since the travel expenses were considerable."

"But Sung JiHan told her not to go?"

"Yes. Why do you think he did that? It's just to restrict my growth."

"...What a misunderstanding."

It was obvious that Sung JiHan was conscious of Sung JiHan, but it seemed like he didn't have much thought about her.

Sophia didn't bother expressing her thoughts out loud.

"Shit. Is there only one limousine?"

"Ha. Why is it so small? Is this the standard for Korean limousines?"

"Is alcohol the only thing they have? I can't drink this cheap stuff."

Baelan complained incessantly while getting into the limousine after leaving the airport.

Sophia, who was sitting next to him, couldn't bear to listen to his complaints, so she took out her tablet PC.

Plugging in her wireless earphones, Sophia connected to BattleTube.

She lit up when she saw a video uploaded to the channel she subscribed to.

"Sung... He was playing a game?"

Player Sung JiHan.

She first learned about him during the TOP 100 match.

The match where he retired Baelan, who was opening a champagne bottle in the limousine, with a single blow.

Sophia was fascinated by Sung JiHan at that moment.

"As expected, he's so cool...!"

She had always preferred warriors who fought at the front rather than mages or archers.

Watching Sung JiHan's unrivaled power that could destroy the game on his own, she fell deeply for him.

Of course, there were many people stronger than Sung JiHan right now.

But they couldn't overwhelm the league they belonged to as much as Sung JiHan did.

Bang!

Sung JiHan blew up a jungle monster with a single strike.

"Wow...!"

Sophia let out a small exclamation.

Sung JiHan, who destroys everything with a single blow.

Even if she looked for it with her eyes closed, she couldn't find anything like that in blockbuster movies, let alone Sung JiHan's channel.

Sending enemies with a single strike, an extreme cider.

It was perfect for Sophia's taste.

"Tsk...!"

As Sophia watched Sung JiHan's channel with great interest, Baelan looked at her with an unpleasant gaze.

Such envious eyes should only be directed at him.

Since Sung JiHan suddenly appeared in the TOP 100 match, everything started to go wrong.

"Oh my god...!"

"What the hell is 'Oh my god'!"

As Sophia continued to exclaim in excitement.

Crack!

He grabbed the champagne bottle that he had just called cheap and drank it all at once.

"To restrict me, he called me all the way to Korea... and he's playing games?"

Baelan firmly believed that the reason he was called to Korea was to restrict him, his rival.

He was determined that he would quickly turn the tables once he joined the guild.

"If I just join the guild, I'll grow quickly and turn the tables...!"

Until the limousine arrived at Sword Palace, he didn't let go of the bottle of alcohol.
