The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

"Sung JiHan... hosting a Battle Tube broadcast."

Ju Eunji furrowed her brow.

It was now clear.

Sung JiHan had only pretended to be fascinated all this time, but in reality, he wasn't affected.

"We can't drag this out any longer."

The Korean government is not foolish.

In this live broadcast situation, Sung JiHan wouldn't be witnessing a kidnapping in Gangnam.

If they delay here, they will be in trouble.

They needed to handle the situation quickly.

"Mr. Sung JiHan, you are truly a troublesome person."

Ju Eunji stood up from her seat.

Her supporting gift.

To use "editing," there were two methods.

The first was contact.

By touching the flesh, you could edit the other person without even speaking.

This contact was the method she had tried several times with Sung JiHan.

And especially when the other person was on guard like now.

Instead of contact, there was another method.

"Player Sung JiHan. I will 'edit' you."

Woo-woo-woo-

The center of the table and the ceiling shook, and a golden light flashed.

A hidden Akashic page that had been concealed, different from what Takeida had heard.

It was utilized, and Ju Eunji's 'editing' was applied to Sung JiHan.

[Ito Shizuru's avatar adds the status ailment 'fascination' to Player Sung JiHan. The target of fascination is Ito Shizuru.]

[Ito Shizuru's avatar adds the status ailment 'subjugation' to Player Sung JiHan. The target of subjugation is Ito Shizuru.]

A message appeared in the system window.

This could be seen by all the viewers who shared Sung JiHan's perspective.

-Fascination... subjugation?

-Ito Shizuru??

-Ito? No way...

-Oh. Well, well. Why does that woman look so beautiful?

-Wow... damn...

-He... hehehehehehe...

In Sung JiHan's view, with the added status ailments of fascination and subjugation, Ju Eunji appeared as a goddess who was no longer in this world.

"Stronger than last time."

Last time, she used one Akashic page to apply three status ailments: fascination, subjugation, and fanaticism.

But this time, she focused on fascination and subjugation with two pages, so the burden on Sung JiHan was much greater than last time.

"But I knew this would happen, so it's useless."

Mumyong Shingong (Nameless Divine Technique)

Simbeop Sinpae (Heart Method)

Yusim Sojo (Mind-Only Creation)

Sung JiHan calmly used his Simbeop despite the beautiful transformation of Ju Eunji before his eyes.

No matter how much Ju Eunji tried to use the Akashic page to fascinate him, her power was not comparable to the Succubus Queen.

Since he had been on guard against her in advance, he could withstand this much.

-Hehehe... huh?

-What! Where did the goddess go!

-Ah, give her back!

-I kneeled and watched, but what is this again?

-How... how can someone look like that in this world?

-Ah, Sung JiHan, don't resist!

The viewers' resentment flooded the chat, but Sung JiHan remained steadfast in his composure.

Then, Joo Eunji returned to her ordinary face, no longer in her goddess form.

"Editing... Is this Ito Shizuru's power?"

Among the support gifts she had experienced so far, this was the most deceptive ability.

While Sung JiHan was thinking this, Joo Eunji widened her eyes.

I thought she would be shaken a little, but it seems like nothing is affecting her.

"I'm sure it had some effect last time...."

Up until now, she hadn't considered this possibility.

With this level of power, even the Sword Emperor Yoon Sejin would have been overwhelmed without a doubt!

"What kind of trick did you use?"

"I have no obligation to tell you."

Sung JiHan reached out his hand.

The ceiling and the table.

Hidden in these two places, the Akashic pages that had not completely disappeared were sucked into Sung JiHan's grasp.

Just these two pages alone were worth billions.

Since he had come to the cafe to compete against Joo Eunji, Sung JiHan decided to take them as his spoils.

From Joo Eunji's perspective, it was an extremely valuable item to be taken away....

"I have to subdue Sung JiHan first!"

She calmly assessed the situation.

The Akashic pages can be bought again.

However, if Sung JiHan is not captured now, it will be too difficult to extract him from Korea.

Even if it's just a piece of scrap paper, she had to somehow control her new recruit.

[Akari. Don't worry about the Akashic pages, prioritize subduing Sung JiHan!]

[I understand.]

Whoosh-

Akari, who was near Takeida, instantly leaped through space and attacked Sung JiHan.

Akari's infiltration was secretive and swift.

Although there was a tremendous gap between Sung JiHan and Akari, with a minimum level difference of over 100....

[Master. It's on the left.]

Sung JiHan, who had the 'Shadow of the Moon' gift.

He was able to easily perceive Akari's movements, who had chosen skills related to shadows in her assassin skill tree.

In addition, she had the unique stat 'Strength' that allowed her to use all her power in the real world.

And with the power to dominate space, 'Force.'

"Oh. You're fast?"

Sung JiHan easily dodged Akari's dagger and used force to snatch the Akashic page she was holding.

[You...!]

-Key, Kitsama!

-I heard Kitsama with Jinten ㄷㄷ

-Is that important right now? We need to report it quickly!

-Sung JiHan is about to be kidnapped right now! I saw that ninja. She's a Japanese ninja otaku named Akari!

-Oh, I saw her too. She's a noob assassin. But she's a diamond playerㄷㄷ

-Hey, this is a real situation, right? Report it quickly!!!

[Akari. Don't worry about the Akashic pages! Just focus on securing the target!]

[Understood!]

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As if to demonstrate the difference between diamond and silver, Akari swiftly attacked Sung JiHan.

Multiple daggers danced in the air, threatening Sung JiHan, and her shadows tried to envelop him from all sides.

Clang! Clang!

If Sung JiHan hadn't quickly pulled out his black sword from his left hand and deflected them all, they would have all turned into dust.

-Ow... She's so fast, seriously;

-Is an assassin this strong??

-In reality, it's the most useful for espionage purposes.

-You, Sung JiHan, are the one who can stand against that diary on equal terms!!

-I, I just got a signature from Sung JiHan! The building next to Sword Palace, address 134 Gangnam-gu...

-We need to come support quickly! We might get kidnapped!!

When it was revealed that the opponent's identity was Akari, the assassin of the diary, the chat room went crazy.

But the actual situation wasn't that threatening.

"Bless. Strengths. Haste."

Sung JiHan, who activated the self-buff set of three, confidently clashed swords with Akari.

"Ugh...!"

Clang! Clang!

As Sung JiHan's dark sword Eclipse and Akari's dagger collided, sparks flew.

Akari clearly had the advantage in terms of abilities.

Not only the speed of the sword, but also the difference in power felt when the weapons clashed, Akari was much stronger.

However.

"...This can't be."

It wasn't the perspective of a third party watching from the outside.

Akari, the person involved, could clearly feel it.

She was being blocked.

Every attack she made was being completely blocked and read by her opponent.

Am I slower than the opponent?

No.

I'm much faster.

Does that mean I'm weaker?

No.

I can push the opponent back.

But... why?

Kaaang!

Even though it was clearly a well-executed strike, mixing several feints.

She was being pushed back.

Even though she could push the opponent back, she was being pushed back.

It was a contradiction that couldn't coexist.

But, swinging the weapon made her realize.

With each strike, she was already within her opponent's calculations.

"This can't be...!"

Even though the in-game rankings may be Diamond and Silver.

There was already a significant difference in weapon handling skills.

Yes.

That difference in ability was compensated by the user's martial arts.

"Now that it's come to this, I'll go with the intention of defeating you!"

Akari pressed Sung JiHan more aggressively.

At first, she consciously avoided vital points, but now she attacked without hesitation.

She also actively launched surprise attacks from behind using shadows.

However.

Clang! Clang!

"It's useless, no matter what you try."

Even if she put all her effort into her attacks, everything was blocked.

As if her mind was being read completely by the black sword, everything she did was in vain.

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

Unbeknownst to herself, Akari's strength began to wane.

"It's ridiculous for an assassin to engage in a direct confrontation."

As Sung JiHan spoke, Akari's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

I didn't fully understand what the Korean man was saying.

But it was clear that it was a provocation.

I couldn't afford to lose like this.

No matter what it took, I had to subdue him.

She used her most confident skill.

Insool (Ninja Arts).

Hwanyeong Surigum (Phantom Shuriken).

Whirly-lick!

Black spears flew in all directions around Sung JiHan.

Some had substance, while others did not.

As befitting an assassin's skill, the Insool (Ninja Arts) Hwanyeong Surigum (Phantom Shuriken) skillfully blended illusion and reality.

However, Sung JiHan had an easy way to bypass it.

"Ariel."

"Everything except the two behind is a decoy."

"You can handle it, right?"

"Of course."

In terms of shadow abilities, Ariel boasted unparalleled skills.

She thoroughly grasped Akari's illusions and reality, and blocked all the attacks coming from behind Sung JiHan.

Shuuuuu-

From the Eclipse of the Shadow Sword, some shadows escaped and blocked the spears flying towards Sung JiHan from behind.

Kang!

With a black sword, she pushed Akari back.

"Kuk...! What the...? Isn't he a Diamond opponent?"

"I called 112 and 119, and even submitted a petition to the Blue House begging them to save Sung JiHan... Was it all in vain?"

"No, you did well. That's normal. Sung JiHan was just crazy."

"I can't stand anyone insulting Sung JiHan!"

"Hey... That's a compliment."

"Maybe we'll become worse than the Royal Guards, haha."

Sung JiHan's fans, who couldn't even tolerate small insults, became more enthusiastic.

Silver dominating Diamond?

Clearly, the enemy's stats were stronger and faster.

But Sung JiHan, who opposed them, was pushing them back with mysterious movements.

"Akari...! I will strengthen you. Watch this match!"

Ju Eunji shouted loudly towards the gradually retreating Akari.

She had been watching Akari's Diamond dignity for a while, but the situation had changed.

Akari was gradually falling behind in the 1:1 battle against Sung JiHan.

"I can't believe it."

Ju Eunji's eyes were filled with confusion, but also excitement.

"Sung JiHan. I will... I will definitely have you."

He shattered all predictions.

He even defeated the enhanced supporting gift 'Editing' due to the Akashi page.

And he was even winning against the giant Diamond Akari's assault.

This player was an existence beyond the norm.

If he wasn't captured this time, he would definitely regret it later.

Ju Eunji used her last resort.

"Player Gato Akari. I will edit you and unlock the restrictions of the tutorial."

This time, the target she edited was not Sung JiHan.

It was Akari, who was restricted by the tutorial and couldn't fully utilize her abilities.
