The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

"I didn't expect such a proposal."

The Red-haired Dragon Tribe.

This tribe, in their previous lives, did not mix with humans or horses.

Just like when they silently stared at Coach Davis before the first game.

The Dragon Tribe dominated over humans in every match, and in the process, never attempted to have a conversation.

It was as if they believed there was no value in talking with a lower race like you.

But now, a tribe like that is asking you to become one of them by marking your forehead.

"I heard rumors circulating in society. Rumors that the elf's scheme failed and they were executed. The one who carried out the execution called them a worthless race."

"......"

"Furthermore, I witnessed the appearance of a hidden boss with a deadly power. Despite being a fundamentally weak race, they showed astonishing strength. Our Dragon Tribe also had quite a hard time dealing with them. And now, that hidden boss who was in hiding, you resemble them quite a bit."

"A hidden boss? So they were caught."

Having a hard time dealing with them ultimately means they were caught.

Sung JiHan smirked and said, and the Red Dragon exhaled a breath of fire.

"It's a matter of race. If you were a Dragon Tribe, you would have remained as an invincible existence. If you want to surpass the limits of your race, become a member of our tribe."

Recognizing him as the hidden boss, the Dragon Tribe representative confidently made an offer to him.

Sung JiHan questioned him.

"But is that even possible? To become a member of the tribe."

"It is possible. Just put yourself in a dragon's egg."

"...Put myself in an egg?"

"That's right. You... especially me, Altkaizen, will put you in the egg. Although I am from a distant dimension, I am the bloodline of the 'Dragon Lord' who rules over the dragon tribes of the entire universe. It will be an unparalleled honor for you."

"Are you telling me to become your child?"

"Child..."

Fwoosh!

Flames rose up in front of Red Dragon Altkaizen.

A giant red egg floated up like an illusion.

"Yes. If you successfully hatch inside this, that's how it will be."

Altkaizen, who insisted on using the word "successfully,"

No. What kind of trick is this Dragon Tribe representative playing?

=You want me to become a dragon? Wouldn't that be suspicious no matter who does it?

=Sung JiHan, I believe you will make a wise decision!

The commentators couldn't hide their nervousness in their voices as they said this.

Because the power shown by the Dragon in the first game was so overwhelming.

They wondered what Sung JiHan's choice would be, whether he would become a dragon.

- Wow, Sung JiHan was even offered to become a dragon...

- Fragile humans who can't even live for a hundred years vs. powerful lizards that live for thousands of years. Isn't it obvious who to choose?

- Yeah, go ahead and become a dragon~ If you get demoted, that's it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- No way, if Sung JiHan becomes a dragon, we'll be in last place ㅡㅡ

- I won't do it... Accepting such a suspicious offer?

When people's attention was focused on Sung JiHan's mouth,

"Hey, I have a question."

[What is it that you're curious about?]

"Why are dragons losing to elves?"

He asked the representative of the dragons in return.

[What?]

"I understand that dragons are amazing in the previous games. But I'm curious why the top team in our league is elves and the second team is you. The number of wins is the same. Shouldn't the points be naturally higher for dragons?"

Sung JiHan never had the intention of becoming a dragon in the first place.

He took this opportunity to talk to the dragons and asked the question he had been curious about for a long time.

When he met the dragon race in his previous life on Battle.net,

In the first game, the team was completely wiped out by the breath that came from nowhere, just like in the first game.

He managed to stick with the World Tree Elves and at least exchange blows.

But when he fought against the dragon, humanity was simply overwhelmed by the overwhelming difference and fell into despair.

But why is such a strong race ranked 6th behind the elves?

This remained a mystery that couldn't be solved for humanity even in his previous life.

"I should ask when I have the chance to communicate."

Sung JiHan asked the question with a light-hearted attitude, but

The opponent's reaction was stronger than expected.

[Being overshadowed by the elves... sigh. It's unpleasant.]

Whoosh!

The red egg that Dragon Altkaizen had summoned disappeared in an instant.

"You cannot enter my egg."

"Just because I asked a question?"

"Yes. Those who doubt the dragon are not qualified to inherit the bloodline of the Dragon Lord."

"I was just curious. Are there really elves and dragons...?"

Flash!

At Sung JiHan's words, a yellow light burst from Altkaizen's eyes.

If this wasn't inside the game but in the director's office...

He would have immediately devoured Sung JiHan with his gaze.

"I wonder if their relationship with the elves is a burden to them. Their reaction is quite intense."

While Sung JiHan thought that, he calmly met the gaze of the dragon.

Unlike Director Davis a while ago.

The dragon's eyes may have flashed, but Sung JiHan did not flinch.

And...

"The opposing race, 'Red-haired Dragon Tribe,' forfeits 2 matches. Humanity wins by default."

"The opposing race, 'Red-haired Dragon Tribe,' forfeits 3 matches. Humanity wins by default."

As promised, Altkaizen handed over 2 matches.

Then he opened his mouth, revealing his teeth.

"I handed over the two matches as promised. But... now, there will be no mercy."

Growl.

And then, a card emerged in front of Sung JiHan.

Unlike the first match, there was only one card that emerged.

=Dragon Tribe! We will not use a ban card. And for the select card... it's Valhalla! We will choose the map we want from over there too!

=Compared to the elves, does it make dragons so angry? We can feel your determination to crush us on the battlefield!

=Regardless of what happens, it is the best result for us!

=That's right! With this, Sung JiHan will also remain in humanity, right?

=I believed in you from the beginning!

Regardless of whether the opposing dragon was angry or not, it was the best result for humanity.

Not only did they get 2 wins for free, but Sung JiHan also won the 4th match and got stuck with the Valhalla map.

"I should pick too."

Sung JiHan drew the select card and ban card, and submitted them himself.

Then...

"Three players from the 'Red-haired Dragon Tribe' ranked 1st to 10th are banned."

"Players ranked 2nd, 6th, and 7th are banned. They cannot participate in the 4 matches."

It was a result that was worse than Director Davis, who had banned the 1st, 3rd, and 5th ranked players.

"The maps for the 4 matches have been decided."

"The 4 matches will take place on the warrior-exclusive map, 'Valhalla.'"

Humanity got what they wanted, and the map was confirmed to be Valhalla.

"Humanity... I will personally show you how inferior your race is."

Just before the 2nd match, Altkaizen said that.

Sung JiHan lightly retorted, "Either defeat the elves or come back like me."

"You...!"

Unable to hold back his anger, Altkaizen growled.

For the dragon, mentioning the elves was like pressing the rage button.

"Before accepting you as a clan member, I should start with some mental education!"

"Who asked for your opinion?"

With that warning, Altkaizen entered the game.

"So this is how the player selection works."

As Sung JiHan, who came out as the humanity coach, selected 50 warriors in rank order from the selection window that came to mind.

He also connected to the game himself.

* * *

The warrior's map, Valhalla.

In this map, 50 warriors from each team are selected to compete in the grand hall of Valhalla.

[Race adjustment is applied.]

[For each dragon, 10 players are summoned equally.]

Unlike the Chaos Battlefield, the race adjustment ratio has changed to 1 dragon for every 10 players.

= It's a shame that the exchange rate is 10 to 1! Even in the Chaos Battlefield, where it was 50 to 1, it ended in an instant.

= Maybe the Valhalla map is relatively small?

= Actually, the size of the warriors' hall in Valhalla is not small...

= But with the dragons here, it feels cramped.

The warriors' hall located in Valhalla.

In this place where 50 warriors fought fiercely, divided into teams.

Flash!

A bright light flashed, and a massive red dragon descended.

A giant red dragon that seemed to touch the ceiling of Valhalla.

"Wow. It's really big..."

"Shouldn't Battle.net match giant monsters like that with other giant monsters? How are we supposed to fight against something like that..."

"Should we try attacking with our swords?"

"Looking at the flames rising between its scales, it seems like it would just burn us if we get close."

"But why is there only one on the other side?"

The 50 warriors looked up at the summoned dragon, Altkaizen.

Seeing that there was only one dragon instead of five, they were puzzled.

The race adjustment was clearly 10:1, right?

At that moment.

Flash! Flash!

Around the dragon, four additional giant eggs were summoned.

"Aren't those the eggs that the younger brother told us to come and see?"

"That's right."

In the previous life, there were several matches between humans and dragons.

But until now, the eggs had never appeared.

"Is it because we talked about the eggs earlier?"

How strange.

Sung JiHan thought so and was about to prepare for battle.

[Unawakened eggs, awaken.]

Altkaizen gave the command.

Whoosh!

Flames burst out of the giant eggs, and soon they transformed into the shape of dragons.

No, to be precise, except for their faces.

"...Why does that fire dragon have such a strange face?"

"It doesn't look like a lizard."

"Doesn't it look similar to the Urk we saw last time?"

"That one is an octopus..."

The fire dragons that emerged from the eggs.

Their bodies were that of dragons, but their faces were completely different.

From pigs to octopuses, heads resembling horses, and more.

They were all heads that didn't match the bodies of dragons at all.

[Unite.]

And when Altkaizen commanded.

The fire dragons with different heads began to be quickly absorbed by the red dragon.

"Aaahhh...!"

"Again, again...!"

Each fire dragon screamed as they were absorbed.

Whoosh...!

After absorbing the four flame dragons, a massive flame rose from Altkaizen's body.

"...Younger brother. You did well not becoming a dragon's egg. You could have easily become fuel for that dragon."

"That's true."

Originally, there was no intention of becoming a dragon.

But as they watched the fire dragons suffering and being absorbed by Altkaizen, the thought disappeared.

Here it is.

Hmm.

What's up?

"What?"

"Do you regret it?"

"......"

Alt Kaiser, who absorbed the fire, solemnly spoke while looking at Sung JiHan.

"It means missing the opportunity to merge with me."

What is that?

Is this a sincere story?

"If I successfully hatch, I become your child?"

"Child... Yes. As you saw earlier, didn't I become your child? And very successfully, I became a part of you."

The concept of a child seems a bit different from humans.

Sung JiHan looked at Alt Kaiser, who was sincerely proud, and pressed the seizure button again.

"But you're strong. Why do you lose to the elves?"

"Ha. This guy really...!"

Chiiing...!

With that one word, the body of the Red Dragon, which was tinged with a pale yellow light, changed.

Light spread in all directions.

"Dragon Flare."

Kwakwakwakwak!

An overwhelmingly intense explosion erupted around him.

"Ah...!"

"Sh, shield...!"

Without any chance to respond, the warriors disappeared in an instant.

The explosion that erupted from Alt Kaiser's center.

Not only the players, but even the Valkyrie's palace collapsed in an instant.

=The, the map...

=It's destroyed again! The Valhalla map. I thought it would be a good place to fight because of its narrow terrain...

=In an instant, it became wider!

=50 warriors... annihilated in an instant! Only 2 survivors!

Shuuuu...

In the place where the intense flames swept through.

Sung JiHan and Sword King Yoon Sejin somehow managed to survive even in the midst of the explosion.

Compared to Sung JiHan, whose whole body was just slightly burned.

Yoon Sejin's body was mostly charred and burned to death, with his twin swords partially melted.

"Ha... It's crazy power."

Still, he could speak, and his lifeline was still attached.

And.

"Oh... You're alive too."

Alt Kaiser looked at Yoon Sejin with an interesting gaze.

"With this level, you're not bad as a candidate for the dragon."

Chiiing!

Before the dragon's words could finish.

A bloodline appeared on his head.

And then, the head split in two.

In Sung JiHan's hand, Eclipse, the dark sword, was suddenly held.

"Is this all you've got? How can you become a father like this?"

Then, Sung JiHan's words were cut off in a terrifying manner.

Chiiing!

The dragon's head, which had been split, rejoined and spoke clearly.

"These children are rebellious. They need discipline."

The title has changed to children.

And then.

"Dragon Flare."

The dragon's body was once again tinged with a yellow light.
