The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

* * *

Thump.

"Ah... Ah... I'm going to die for real..."

"Wow... How did you already get here?"

Sung JiHan looked at Yoon Se-ah, who was panting heavily and sitting down, and smirked.

Judging by the footprints behind her, the weight of the armor was the same as before.

No way...

"Uncle, I guess the Silver Map is really good."

Sss-

Yoon Se-ah sat down and drew a V with her finger.

"My stamina has increased."

"You... Then maybe..."

"Yeah. I finally 'achieved my goal!'"

Could it be because the concentration growth that Lee Ha-yeon obtained was applied?

Yoon Se-ah's stamina had already increased by 1 in that short amount of time.

'Finally, stamina has turned into perseverance.'

Seeing that she could still run even with the added weight from Arielle, it was without a doubt due to the rare stat 'perseverance' that was twice as efficient as stamina.

"Great. Then let's take off that armor and get ready for battle."

"Got it!"

Yoon Se-ah eagerly removed the full plate mail and picked up her bow.

"Now, let's level up for real!"

She nocked an arrow from her inventory and aimed, her enthusiasm burning.

Now that she had obtained perseverance, all that was left was the path to rapid leveling.

"Yeah. Today, I'll take the lead and help you level up."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. I'll bring the minions, so just shoot."

Sung JiHan reached out towards the small angel-shaped enemy minion unit, which was leisurely floating.

Then, the minions' shadows transformed into swords and stabbed them from behind.

Thud! Thud!

The minions were stuck with swords in their chests, unable to move.

Although they were small in size, they were actually quite powerful, at around level 50 in Silver.

They were completely defenseless against Sung JiHan's Shadow Sword.

"Go."

Without taking a step, Sung JiHan subdued the enemy unit.

Next, he brought the minions tied up with force and lined them up in front of Yoon Se-ah.

"One at a time. Just give them a finishing blow."

-This is so satisfying.

-It's like a super deluxe bus, seriously lol.

-What's with the bus? This is first-class comfort.

-He's really leveling up like crazy.

"Great!"

Yoon Se-ah happily shot arrows at the dying minions.

Normally, the arrows of a Bronze player would have been deflected by the minions, but...

Since they were already subdued by the Shadow Sword and unable to move, they died one by one.

She must have caught about ten of them like that.

"Wow. I already leveled up!"

"Level 7, right? Let's keep going until you reach level 10 today."

"That's great for me! Hehe."

During the spare time until they gathered enough buffs to capture the Seed Viscount.

Sung JiHan made up his mind to raise Yoon Se-ah's level as much as possible.

"Ah. Isn't this too strong?"

"Nah. I was just joking earlier. Since you don't have to lose to us, should we just try the Seed Viscount together?"

Sung JiHan, who had died earlier and resurrected, spoke to him again as the two players returned to the lane.

"No. Give our nephew some experience points."

"What?"

Thud!

Sung JiHan forcefully dragged them over like he was dominating minions and stood in front of Yoon SeA.

"Ugh...! This, this is bad manners!"

"Uncle, they say these guys have bad manners?"

"It's okay. It was their mistake to come back here."

- I agree...

- Yeah, it's their fault for coming back again lolololol

What does it matter if we hear them say they have bad manners?

What's important is leveling up Yoon SeA.

When Sung JiHan made a gesture of slashing his own throat with his finger.

"Oh~ In that case, I won't decline!"

Yoon SeA shot arrows at the two people who had become targets.

"Darn!"

"Let's see...!"

The two players fought with venomous expressions on their faces.

Thud!

"Ah... seriously!"

"This is just too much!"

On the second try, they were helplessly escorted to a different lane.

"Can't we at least hit some minions?"

"We want to avoid being last place on our team..."

Even on the third try, they were dragged to a different lane without any resistance, even though they had taken down the tower.

"We don't have time for that. Yoon SeA's level has already reached 10."

But Sung JiHan was firm.

"Come back to life quickly and come back."

"Ah, seriously..."

"Forget it. Let's not play the game!"

Thud!

With their middle finger raised, the two players who had fought.

After experiencing their third death like that, they never returned to the lane.

They simply decided to give up on this game.

"SeA, how much buff have you accumulated?"

"150 percent. 200 percent is the max, right?"

"Well, then it'll be over soon. I'll go jungle for a bit. I'm filling up Arielle and the remaining 50 percent."

"Got it!"

Sung JiHan summoned Arielle to the lane where the enemy players had given up.

"Take care of SeA."

"Understood, master. Can I push the tower?"

"Yes. Let's start breaking it."

As a preliminary step to capturing the enemy Viscount Naseed.

There was a need to push the enemy to their base.

Until now, they had been buying time for Yoon SeA's level up, but now they had to start moving.

"Yes. Then I'll push first."

Arielle said confidently.

[The first tower of the Angel faction has been destroyed.]

The message that the tower had been destroyed already appeared.

And it wasn't the mid lane that Baron had been heading towards.

"...This?"

It was Masid, in the top lane.

"What the... Who is this person?"

Sophia looked at Masid with a bewildered expression.

Masid, the "God of Soccer."

He possessed an SSS-level gift that was rare in the world, but due to the constraint of having to have a soccer ball at his feet, he went from being a revered soccer player to a laughingstock.

"I wasn't expecting much since he's often mentioned as an SSS-level failure... but this is insane."

The guild where only the world's top prospects gathered.

Sophia had wondered why someone like Masid was here, but now she understood the reason.

"Fireball."

Fireball.

A common attack spell thrown by low-level mages.

But when Masid unleashed it, it looked completely different.

Whoosh!

The soccer ball at his feet burst into flames and quickly swelled to an enormous size.

It was no longer a ball, but a massive rock.

Masid casually trapped the giant fireball with his foot and charged towards the enemy.

Crash!

"Crazy... Shield! Shield!"

"Ouch! The shield is melting! Why is the bronze so weak?"

"Sophia's buff was that good?"

"No! It's not that much of a scam!"

Perhaps because they were both from the same New York 1 area.

The Orange guild members who knew about Sophia's buff.

They tried to block Masid's fireball, but soon found themselves buried under the fireball.

"The buff..."

"Oh. Yes, yes!"

As the extinguished ball returned to Masid's foot, he calmly enchanted the ball and subdued the minions.

Despite being in the 20-level bronze range, Masid was leading the battle alone.

"He's incredibly agile."

Although the minions he faced were much higher level.

While easily dodging their attacks, Masid approached them and used magic.

While distance was essential for mages, Masid instead closed the distance from his side.

"I'll push slowly. Lightning."

Zap!

This time, an orb with electricity crackling appeared.

Bang! Bang!

Masid passed the minions one by one as if passing a ball.

The destructive power didn't seem as strong as the fireball, but his skill in subduing them one by one was exceptional.

"Wow..."

Sophia unintentionally let out an exclamation.

It was clear that Masid was indeed the "God of Soccer" who once captivated the world.

"Is this what a master is like?"

A lonely master who only thinks about soccer.

Perhaps he hadn't even had time to tidy up his messy and rough beard because he was so focused on soccer.

While Sophia was giving such a generous evaluation of Masid.

"Hmm?"

Masid, who was kicking the ball diligently, suddenly stopped moving.

"Thank you for the 100GP sponsorship, Kim Sung Yong. Thank you for the 200GP sponsorship, Lee Ji Sung. Thank you for the 300GP sponsorship, Park Young Pyo."

Masid expressed his gratitude for each sponsorship in unfamiliar Korean pronunciation.

Sophia looked at him, tilting her head.

She didn't know exactly what he was saying in Korean, but the way he looked up at the air and constantly bowed his head seemed like he was expressing gratitude.

"Are sponsorships pouring in?"

Even when Balran received sponsorships, he barely nodded his head.

"Without self-esteem, he looks like a corpse, but his manners are good."

It's good because it's good.

That's how Sophia was praised.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you..."

Even while surrounded by minions, as Masid continued to express his gratitude, he began to feel frustrated, as if he were swallowing a mouthful of sweet potatoes.

"Masid! What are you doing? We're surrounded!"

"I have to thank the sponsors."

"When you're in battle, you should take breaks!"

"I gave you 100GP, how can you take a break?"

"100GP? Just with that..."

"Just? It's so difficult to earn 100,000 won. Oh, there's a mission!"

As Masid looked at Sophia as if she were an innocent fool, a viewer mission appeared before his eyes.

[Yoon Heungmin has sent a viewer mission.]

-Dismantle the enemy tower first.

-Reward: 3,000 GP

"3, 3,000 GP?!"

Masid looked at the channel mission and immediately bent his waist 120 degrees.

"T-Thank you! The first tower is now mine!"

His voice was more polite than ever.

But his two eyes, lowered in respect, were burning with excitement.

"Supporter, give me a full buff! Quickly!"

"Why, why?"

"3,000 GP! I'll be the first to take down the tower! Fireball! Lightning! Magic Missile!"

Masid began to cast spells one after another.

The orbs swelled as if they were about to burst, and the three spells merged.

"Quickly! Buff!!!"

"Got it!"

Receiving Sophia's buff, Masid began to attack the tower in earnest.

Bang! Bang! Kwang!

A massive ball of magic struck the tower like a house.

In the game, the tower was tough enough to be the second strongest.

But as Masid's orbs repeatedly struck the tower like a rapid-fire cannon...

Kwarr...

In an instant, more than half of its structure crumbled and turned into rubble.

"What? It really broke...?"

No.

Even if it's bronze, it's still...

Even if he received a full buff, even if he had an SSS-grade gift...

Is it okay for the tower to be destroyed so easily?

"I did it!"

Kwaaaang!

As he watched the tower completely explode, Sophia looked at Masid with a meaningful gaze.

"...Robert will be very impressed."

A player who repeatedly bows even for small donations, desperate for money.

There was no one but Robert Gates, the chief scout of American First, who recruited such a person.

"Yoon Heungmin! Thank you so much for the 3,000 GP!"

After clearing the mission and reacting in Korean, Sophia smiled slightly as she looked at Masid.

"Now he might join the same guild soon."

As someone who didn't know that Masid owed a debt to Sung JiHan, it was a natural judgment for her.

* * *

Time passed like that.

"Now let's catch him."

The party of Sung JiHan, who completely overwhelmed the enemy and had a 200% buff, gathered near the valley where Viscount Naseed was hiding.
