The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

"It's unexpected."

"Why do you think that way?"

"I didn't know you would help me. Didn't you also not take Sung JiHan's side last time?"

Before falling asleep, Mousin ordered Longinus to assassinate Sung JiHan.

Gilgamesh said that Mousin only gave the order to Longinus and told Dongbangsak not to intervene.

His attitude at that time was clearly to protect Sung JiHan.

But now he's helping with his recovery.

Longinus couldn't understand his intentions at all.

"Hehe, well. This might not be helping."

"What do you mean?"

"Helping with the recovery doesn't mean you will fully recover. It just means you'll be in a state where you can manifest your powers. You won't be able to give it your all."

"...Even if I can't give it my all, if I recover enough to manifest my powers, I can defeat that guy."

"Do you really think so? The opponent is someone who possesses Mousin's soul. Besides that, he has many immeasurable powers. Can't you tell from seeing Master challenging Space Area 3?"

Longinus couldn't definitively deny what he said.

Sung JiHan, who fought through his avatar, was definitely not an easy opponent.

If he could use all his power, who knows.

If he fought on Earth to the extent that he could manifest his powers, he couldn't guarantee that he would win.

"...What is your intention?"

"To me, your clash is important. It doesn't matter who wins."

"..."

"Originally, I was waiting for the battle after you recovered, but he caused an accident, so I couldn't just wait. That's why I'm making this proposal. What do you think? Will you accept my help?"

"In the end, you're helping to start a fight."

As Gilgamesh nodded, Longinus frowned and asked.

"Why do you want me to fight him so badly?"

"I can't tell you that. Instead, if you accept this proposal, I promise you a certain death that you desire."

"...Can you really give me that?"

"Yes."

Even before becoming Mousin's servant, he had an immortal body.

Longinus, who cursed his eternal life, nodded at his assurance.

Yes.

If he could just die.

He didn't want to know about the complicated circumstances behind it.

However.

"Why is that? Can you tell me? I'm genuinely curious."

"Are you talking about the limit of evolution?"

"Yes."

"The reason you became an immortal body is because of that."

"Well..."

"At the beginning, there were many things."

Gilgamesh smiled and looked at the screen.

"You already know about it. It's just sealed in your memories."

Sealed memories.

Longinus pondered.

He was born to kill the "god."

After losing that job to Mousin, he became his servant and lived only to do what he was told.

In this life, there were no sealed memories...

"Do you have any memories before the job of killing the god?"

"There's nothing particularly special."

"Then I have nothing more to say."

"Can't you just tell me?"

"I want to tell my 'old comrade' too."

Thump. Thump.

Gilgamesh sat down and tapped the ground.

"Telling the story of the beginning would violate the agreement with the owner of this star."

"...Huh, how boring. But then, old comrade?"

"Yes. We've been in a cooperative relationship since a long time ago..."

Zzzing.

As soon as he said that, Gilgamesh's body momentarily became transparent and then returned.

"Oh, this kind of story also falls under Mousin's prohibition."

"...Fine, then."

"Alright. I'll help with your recovery."

"Okay."

After listening to Gilgamesh's story, Longinus's head became even more complicated.

But for now, he accepted his proposal because it involved the possibility of death.

And with his permission granted.

Sssss...

"Well then, let's begin."

From Gilgamesh's body, chains began to emerge.

* * *

Round 20.

It was different from the defense and gameplay style that had been going on until now in the Northern Wall.

"Summon the strongest individual from the 'Waiting Guild' in the Realm of the Dead."

Flash!

Sung JiHan, who had his arms crossed, was summoned to a new space, the Realm of the Dead.

"The total assault of the dead begins. Defend against the enemy's attack."

On the remaining guild members standing on the castle walls,

There were a significantly larger number of ghosts being summoned compared to before.

A significantly larger number of enemies compared to the previous round.

And with Sung JiHan being summoned elsewhere, it didn't seem easy to defend against them.

"There are quite a lot of them..."

"No matter if they're ethereal, why are they so big?"

"The momentum seems much stronger than before."

"It seems difficult to defend against them without Sung JiHan..."

"Is this the final round after all..."

They were rankers who had been thriving, receiving 3% of Sung JiHan's power until round 19.

But the scale of the enemies was so different that they judged it would be difficult.

"Based on the accumulated score of each player so far, the players will be strengthened."

It seemed that the players were being strengthened based on the score they had accumulated until now, as if there was no such thing as being left behind.

"Defeat the leader coming out of the Realm of the Dead. Each time you defeat an opponent, special buffs will be granted to guild members."

Depending on Sung JiHan's performance in the Realm of the Dead,

There was a way for the guild members outside to become stronger.

=What Luié Investment Octain said was really right! After the players were strengthened based on the score, their movements became much lighter!

=Sung JiHan's 3% buff is still in effect. With this, we can confront the enemy with much stronger power than usual!

When countless humans, including the commentator, were paying attention to the final round.

Sung JiHan was examining the warped Realm of the Dead.

"The things spread all around... are eyes?"

The Realm of the Dead.

Except for the wide, white marble floor,

All directions were filled with giant red eyeballs.

All the eyes were moving and focusing on Sung JiHan.

But that attention was only for a moment.

"This is the strong one,"

"To think that it would be such a trivial body to settle down,"

"I won't aim for that,"

Voices were heard from the direction of the eyes,

And one by one, the eyeballs began to close.

Among the red eyes of various sizes,

Especially the large ones closed first.

That way, the opponent didn't appear, and the eyes in all directions gradually disappeared.

-What is this? Why isn't the enemy coming out?

-It seems like those eyeballs are disappointed when they see the physical bodies of humans lol

-Ugh, we're in the middle of a battle outside, the enemy needs to come out quickly -_-

-Even with Sung JiHan's buff + score buff, it looked difficult... Do we have to get another buff here to withstand the Northern Wall?

-Does Sung JiHan have to do it again?

-Yes, Sung JiHan was born as a human, so there's no choice;

The viewers were getting impatient because the guild members of the Northern Wall had to receive buffs in the Realm of the Dead to survive.

But since the enemy didn't appear.

However.

"I, I will take that at least!"

A light burst out from a small eye.

"The Fragment of the Seat, '??,' challenges you."

An enemy named ?? appeared in front of Sung JiHan.

The enemy, whose body was only half left in a vertical state in an ethereal form,

Was a bipedal species with a wolf's head.

"The momentum seems quite strong."

Perhaps because it is a fragment of the Holy See.

Although it was only half of an entity, the momentum he emitted was considerable.

In terms of strength alone, it was comparable to the remnants of the former divine messenger.

"Submit yourself!"

With his mouth wide open, the wolf head kicked its feet.

Then his entity disappeared in an instant.

The enemy charging fiercely with intense momentum.

The visible strength was not to be underestimated.

However, with that level of speed, it was an easy opponent for the current Sung JiHan.

Hunwon Divine Art, Samjae Muguk, Taesan Apjeong.

Chaahk!

As the dark eclipse drew a vertical line, the wolf head, already split in half, split once more.

"This, this power... could it be!"

Before he vanished, he looked at Sung JiHan's sword strike with astonishment.

Taesan Apjeong.

In a way, it was nothing more than an extreme vertical slash.

He had a feeling that he knew this attack.

"Why the power?"

Sung JiHan muttered, swinging his sword horizontally this time.

"This... is it really the power of a divine being..."

Chaahh!

The wolf entity was ultimately quartered, compared to its initial state.

A message appeared for all guild members: "A portion of the power of the Holy See's fragment '??' is bestowed upon all guild members."

"Strength and regeneration greatly increase."

A message that appeared for Sung JiHan and all guild members.

He clenched and opened his fist.

"It must be the power possessed by the Holy See's fragment. I can feel it a little."

Even for Sung JiHan, who possessed a soul, it was a powerful buff.

If he was at this level...

"Oh...! As expected! I believed in it!"

"That ?? buff is amazing! The warriors at the North Wall are being completely regenerated right now."

"I didn't even receive healing when my arm was cut off, but it's growing back. LOL"

"It's like an elf, isn't it? Did only you guys enjoy this kind of thing? It's awesome, seriously. LOL"

For the warriors fiercely fighting at the North Wall, this buff was even more strongly felt.

When the front line, which seemed to be completely overwhelmed, was able to withstand a little longer thanks to this buff.

"Oh, could this be...?"

"Is it the power of a divine being?"

"Next time, I'll take the lead."

In an instant, within the resting place of the dead.

The almost vanished pupils gradually revealed themselves one by one.

When they saw Sung JiHan's body, they were disappointed.

When they saw Taesan Apjeong and Hwangsacheon-gun, everyone exuded a gloomy atmosphere.

* * *

The atmosphere changed as soon as Taesan Apjeong and Hwangsacheon-gun were shown.

"Step aside, you pests. How long has it been since I became the Holy See? Are you trying to surpass me, you young ones?"

"No, isn't seniority important? Strength is important."

"If you lack seniority, you lack strength."

"Look at the entities. I was cut less by the divine beings than you!"

The red eyes fought among themselves, claiming that they would go first.

In the end, they established an order and summoned one strong individual at a time.

"Divine being! What is your relationship with that monster who destroyed my world?"

The Holy See's fragment summoned this time was a grotesque monster with only a giant head and three hands remaining.

However, his power was tremendous even though only the fragment remained.

"This one is not bad."

Crack!

The marble floor shattered with each movement of his hand.

And beneath it, the blurry entities all glared at Sung JiHan.

The place, which was supposed to be a resting place for the dead, was filled with a sinister atmosphere, far from being a place of rest.

When Sung JiHan used the martial arts of the "Wandering God," everyone became agitated and tried to capture him.

"Wow... The fragments of the Holy See, they're really rare."

"Sung JiHan is fighting on equal terms."

"That wolf head earlier was really weak."

"Indeed, it seems that the Holy See is truly powerful..."

"Uh, it looks like it's getting difficult to hold the North Wall."

Kaaaah!

With blue flames spewing from his mouth, the ethereal being moved his three hands in a frenzy.

His attacks were undoubtedly formidable among the opponents he had encountered recently.

"He must have been quite powerful even during his time in the Holy See."

Although Sung JiHan had become stronger by gaining stats, his opponent was not an easy one.

Indeed, it seemed that he was not yet ready to fight against someone on the level of the Holy See.

"Why don't you ask what kind of relationship you have with the god?"

"I wonder? You seem like you've been killed by a god, so why aren't you floating around covered in blood?"

"What do you mean by floating around covered in blood?"

"Don't you know because you're dead? The Holy See members that the god hunted are floating in the sky in the form of weapons."

"What...?"

When Sung JiHan's words were heard, the enemy paused for a moment.

He used a special martial art.

Honwonshingong (混元神功)

Myeolsingyeol (滅神訣)

Mangwibongsin (萬鬼封神)

Mangwibongsin, which demonstrated absolute power against ethereal beings.

Until now, he had been able to win without using it, but this time he had to use this ability against the three-handed opponent.

Perceive!

As the sword pierced through the air, patterns were instantly created.

Seeing that, the opponent's reaction became even more intense.

"This, this is the move that finished me...!"

Shooooo!

Before his words could finish, the energy of Mangwibongsin moved.

"Hehehe...!"

"That, we should avoid that...!"

"I'd rather stay here. Don't ever go inside!"

"Forget about revenge...!"

The fragments of the Holy See that had been watching Sung JiHan from all directions began to retreat in surprise when they saw Mangwibongsin.

The eyeballs disappeared in an instant.

"Aaaah!"

And the three-handed enemies, unable to resist Mangwibongsin, were sucked into it.

"As expected, Mangwibongsin is the best against ghosts."

Sung JiHan thought so, and waited to see what kind of buff he would receive this time.

"...Nothing?"

Unlike when he eliminated the other fragments of the Holy See.

The enemies absorbed by Mangwibongsin did not receive any buffs from the Battle Net.

If buffs don't reach the allies on the North Wall, it will be difficult to hold on.

"Guys, I won't use this. Do you want to come out and fight?"

Sung JiHan shouted while looking around, but all the eyes had already disappeared.

Because of the enemy who was scared by Mangwibongsin and the enemy who was completely overwhelmed, he couldn't fight even if he wanted to.

"The guild members of the North Wall have been wiped out."

"The guild mission is over."

In the end, the game ended like that, with buffs being cut off, guild members being wiped out, and the mission being terminated.

Sung JiHan frowned.

He didn't expect this.

"There's nothing I can do."

Thinking that he should use Mangwibongsin more sparingly from now on, he tried to log out, but...

Sssss...

Suddenly, the Mangwibongsin he had created earlier appeared in front of him again.

Boom!

It expelled something outward.

"This is... a glove?"

It was a white glove that looked exactly like the ghostly hand from earlier.
