The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Sung JiHan looked at the stern-faced Asoka and recalled a story he had heard from him before.

"The Taegeuk Sword is the weapon of the Eastern Sakk, but... it's not necessary to follow his path all the way to the Ma Sword."

"The Eastern Sakk pursued immortality, so they intentionally excluded emptiness from the Ma Sword."

"But if you don't plan to live forever, it's natural for emptiness to be present in the Ma Sword."

"When the Ma Sword of emptiness is completed, immortality must be given up. The world tree within you will also crumble, eventually."

When Sung JiHan conveyed this to Asoka, he fell silent.

"Use emptiness if you don't plan to live forever. Did I really say that?"

"Yes."

"...So, if the Ma Sword is completed, will only the world tree disappear?"

Asoka replied with a serious expression.

"By the Ma Sword, even the internal world tree will be destroyed. Naturally, your original body won't be able to withstand it."

"I've thought about using emptiness... that power, but I haven't tried it yet because I know I'll die if I use it. It would be a waste of life, but if I die, the hostile spirits will rampage again."

Dong Bangsak, who had been watching Sung JiHan's Taegeuk with interest, also explained why he hadn't used emptiness.

In the end, the point was that the Ma Sword of emptiness couldn't precisely target only the world tree.

As Sung JiHan's body was swallowed by emptiness, the more he used the sword.

In the end, they would both collapse together...

Isn't that what it means?

"But for now, I'm still fine."

"Is that so...? Isn't there anything wrong with your body?"

"Well, rather, it's good that emptiness is disappearing."

"Emptiness is disappearing..."

"Yes. It's an ability that becomes difficult to deal with if it becomes too strong. So, it disappears when I put it in there."

"...Is that so."

Upon hearing Sung JiHan's words, Asoka pondered deeply.

Meanwhile...

"Hmm. So, are you going to continue practicing this?"

"Yes, I will."

"It's not immortality that's the problem, but you might die suddenly if you keep using it."

"I'll think about it when that time comes."

"Huh, you're truly a friend without a plan..."

Dong Bangsak was excited to hear that answer.

But Sung JiHan also had his own thoughts.

"I haven't thought that this would be harmful to me, not at all."

Perhaps because the completion level of the sword was still low.

The Ma Sword had never directly threatened Sung JiHan.

Instead, it was a useful means to remove the overflowing emptiness.

Of course, if the Taegeuk Sword developed further and became more powerful, who knows what would happen.

"Let's think about it once we reach that stage."

Sung JiHan decided to continue training with the Ma Sword of emptiness.

"For now, I'll try to make use of it."

"Hehe...! Is that so? You don't seem to have any intention of giving up. Then, can I give you some advice?"

"Sure. Please guide me."

"Then let's see. Inside the Taegeuk..."

When Sung JiHan expressed his willingness to learn, Dong Bangsak approached him with sparkling eyes.

During the time of Gangsang, he had only conceived of the Taegeuk Sword.

But now, after training for an additional 600 years, he had a better understanding of the sword and was giving Sung JiHan more efficient teachings.

...

As Asoka looked at Sung JiHan and Dong Bangsak with a complicated expression.

[Please... release the seal...]

In front of the red world tree, only the urging message to release the seal kept appearing endlessly.

* * *

The effect of Dongbangsak's one-point lesson was remarkable.

[Void decreases by 5.]

As Void decreases, the Void Sword reveals itself within the Taegeuk.

What Sung JiHan had successfully accomplished in front of Asoka was nothing more than the hilt of the sword.

Shuuuu...

This time, what was revealed within the Taegeuk was a small dagger.

Dongbangsak nodded satisfactorily while looking at it.

"...This should mean that you have some level of talent."

The Void Sword, which had evolved from a hilt to a dagger, was relatively insignificant in size compared to the light sword that Dongbangsak had previously summoned.

Nevertheless, he expressed satisfaction while looking at it.

Although the form may be lacking.

The destructive power contained within it was the culmination of Dongbangsak's pursuit of self-destruction and the power of annihilation over the years.

"Since you've been tutoring me directly, it seems to be working."

It turns out that the reason why the Immortal wanted to abandon the Earth and create a new race was because of Dongbangsak.

In terms of the Immortal, he possessed transcendent talent.

"But if it could be completed so quickly, couldn't you have just completed it yourself by turning Void into the Void Sword?"

Sung JiHan thought this while watching Dongbangsak, who had helped him create the dagger without any star buffs.

"But it's really unusual that your body didn't collapse. I would have disappeared as soon as I summoned this sword."

On the contrary, Dongbangsak was looking at Sung JiHan with fascination.

"Is that so?"

"Yes. That's why I couldn't even attempt to create the Void Sword with this power. Hm... I can't even guess how it's possible."

"Well, I have various powers, but fundamentally, I'm just an ordinary human."

"Huh. If you were just an ordinary human, humanity would have already wiped out all the enemies themselves."

Dongbangsak chuckled at Sung JiHan's words and pointed his finger at the red World Tree.

"Then, now that the sword is complete, how about experimenting on that guy?"

"You mean the World Tree?"

"Yes. This world is a sealed world of the past, right? Since the future is already determined, let me fulfill my wish here. I want to see that monster get destroyed."

Sung JiHan nodded at his words.

Since the private tutor had given him a perfect one-on-one lesson, he should grant him a wish.

Step by step.

Sung JiHan approached the red World Tree with the Void Dagger in hand.

"No, Master! Please release the seal quickly!"

As the roots of the World Tree rose from the ground, they automatically disconnected and formed characters.

"Alright. I'll release the seal. But let's see if this works first."

"Master!!"

"But why am I the master? When did we meet?"

"Don't you possess the enemy and eternity?"

"Who's your master then? Is it Gilgamesh?"

"No. It's not. Don't you know...?"

Gilgamesh isn't the master?

"Then, is that guy's code useless too?"

Sung JiHan thought so and raised the dagger.

And then.

Shuuuu...

As the aura spread from the red World Tree, a giant ghost appeared.

"Ugh... This, this power..."

"Ughhh!"

As they were sucked into the dagger Sung JiHan was holding, they disappeared.

"Oh... That annoying ghost completely disappeared."

"Indeed, it's vanishing."

"The power that suits the Void Sword the most is, of course, the Void."

And behind them, Dongbangsak and Asoka confirmed that the enemy had definitely been annihilated.

On the other hand, the red World Tree, upon seeing this sight, was producing letters even faster than before.

[Master! Please save me! Didn't I give you the fruit of the World Tree earlier...?!]

"Oh, that? Thanks for that. But you should have given me more."

[I will give you more, more!]

Hoo-doo-doo-doo!

As Sung JiHan finished speaking, apples grew rapidly from the tree.

They fell in front of him, one by one.

Just a moment ago, they were definitely there.

-It takes one year for the fruit of the World Tree to be created. When the seal is released, this time is shortened.

It was said that it would take a year to be recreated.

Was it a lie after all?

"I don't have time to eat, I should just take them with me for now."

Since the duration of the Taegeuk Sword wasn't very long.

There was a concern that the Taegeuk Sword would disappear if he ate the fruit.

Sung JiHan wiped away the hundreds of apples dropped by the World Tree in his inventory.

"Thank you."

(Hey! I gave them to you!!)

"So I'm grateful."

He raised his sword and stabbed it into the tree trunk.

Then.

Sssss...

The tree quickly turned purple.

The bark of the tree turned to gold in an instant.

Pung...!

The World Tree, at the end of the tree.

The leaves began to split.

"Stop. Stop. Stop. Please, Master. This is not right. Please release the seal...!"

"You're persistent too."

How many times has he talked about releasing the seal?

Sung JiHan didn't pay attention to the resistance of the World Tree and forcefully stabbed his sword.

Saaa...

Then, the branches disappeared along with the leaves.

The appearance of the once abundant red World Tree shrank rapidly.

"The monster doesn't regenerate..."

"The Void Sword is definitely showing its effect. However..."

As Asoka, who had been closely watching the disappearance of the tree, spoke.

"If we break the World Tree like this, the seal of this world may not be released."

"To release the seal, we said that we need to break it and return the memories to the Eastern Sage of the real world... Can't it be released by breaking it?"

"I can't be sure about that. You seem to know about releasing the seal... Would you like to try an experiment?"

"That could be a faulty code."

"It doesn't matter."

Tuck. Tuck.

Asoka smiled and patted the golden wheel behind her back.

"Because if we turn back time, it will be over."

"Save and load, is that what you mean?"

"That's what it is."

"A time-reversing golden wheel."

No matter how you look at it, that seems like the biggest scam.

"Well then, shall we try using a scam item?"

Sung JiHan pulled out the dagger he had stabbed into the tree and wrote the code that Gilgamesh had taught him next to it.

[It's time to ring the snake's neck.]

And as soon as that phrase was written.

Flash! Flash!

The red light sparkled from the red world tree.

[Gilgamesh. You may have thought you granted me authority... but the authority has already been transferred to me.]

Within that, the voice of the god was heard.

[Disappear. My foolish customer.]

After cutting the snake's neck and writing the code.

Ironically, it's this side that's being cut....

And then, a message comes to mind.

[Fake code has been written.]

[Sealing the world will be deleted.]

Along with the message of deleting the world.

On top of the tree, dozens, hundreds of destruction codes began to be written.

While spreading quickly throughout the world, the destruction codes.

As the world is covered in red characters and destroyed, Sung JiHan frowned.

'...Gilgamesh, this guy. He's useless. Seriously.'

It was strange from the moment Gilgamesh denied being the owner.

This is indeed the result.

Sung JiHan looked at Asoka and sent a signal.

"I will go back a little while ago."

"Please."

Kururur...

As the golden wheels turned back.

Time returned to the moment before Sung JiHan wrote the code.

And at the same time.

Crackle. Crackle...

The gold broke and the golden wheels shattered.

"That, was it disposable?"

"Originally, it wasn't, but this time the opposing flow was too huge."

Well.

If you make a wrong move, the whole world would have been covered in destruction codes.

It wouldn't have been easy to overturn that.

"Alright... There won't be another chance for a save load. Then I'll just break it."

[Master!!]

Paaaah!

Ignoring the characters of the red world tree, Sung JiHan plunged the sword deeper.

[Master....]

The red world tree disappeared, leaving one last character floating.

And then, as the world went dark, a message appeared.

"The collapse of the Gugungpalgwado causes the dissolution of the Six Harmonies, the Five Elements, and the Four Symbols."

"'Fragment of the Sealed World Tree-2' is destroyed."

"From the destroyed fragment of the world tree, you gain the remaining energy."

"Stat 'Eternity' increases by 10."

"Stat 'Enemy' increases by 10."

"So this was the axis of the seal, as expected."

Breaking the world tree, collapsing the foundation.

"If it increases by 10 each, it will rise abundantly."

If I eat the apple I just retrieved, I'll gain quite a bit by coming here today.

While thinking that, Sung JiHan is settling his income from here.

Ziiing...

"The proficiency of the Taegeuk Sword increases, and 'Gift - Seal of the Sword' disappears."

An unexpected message appeared.
