The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

"Is that an elf?"

A dark elf with black eyes.

Without a trace of white, their eyes were so eerie and dark that it sent shivers down one's spine.

"Indeed... They look quite extraordinary."

However, their appearance itself was ordinary. Of course, by elven standards.

They were just as beautiful as the other elves sitting in the stands.

"Where...?"

Sung JiHan aimed the Phoenix Arrow at the barrier.

A massive barrier that completely blocked the arena and the stands.

Although it was currently only bronze, Sung JiHan, who had once held the strongest position in his past life, knew how strong this barrier was.

"It's as strong as a Platinum... No, it's similar to the barrier created by a Diamond League supporter."

Diamond League.

It was the highest level league where the supporters who participated in today's national team match belonged.

Even though Sung JiHan had shown his unrivaled strength by destroying the ecosystem of the Bronze League alone.

The difference in league rank was not just one or two levels, but four levels, making the Diamond League a world with a level that was too high.

However.

"That's why it's worth challenging."

Sung JiHan smiled with joy on his lips, even in the face of such a powerful obstacle.

His lower-level inner energy soared.

The power of the middle-level and upper-level inner energy gathered in the Phoenix Arrow.

Whoosh-!

Then, at the tip of the arrow, a white flame bloomed.

Just like when the statue of the conqueror pulled the bowstring.

The Phoenix Arrow, empowered by Sung JiHan's energy, unleashed tremendous firepower.

"If I throw this, I can definitely break through the barrier."

The Phoenix Arrow had a limit of five shots.

With such conditions, the power when the arrow was thrown was restrained.

No matter how strong that barrier, which boasted Diamond-level defense, was, the flames of the Phoenix Arrow used as an arrow could break through it.

However.

"For now, I'll use it as a spear."

The nameless divine technique.

The three-fold ultimate martial art.

The immortal's guidance.

The extreme thrust, the immortal's guidance.

The three-fold technique originally started with swordsmanship, but the three-fold ultimate martial art, which reached the extreme, could be freely displayed with any weapon.

The Phoenix Arrow Sung JiHan was holding was the same.

Its original use was as an arrow, but due to its size, it could also be used as a spear.

Kwang!

The Phoenix Arrow, engulfed in flames, collided directly with the barrier.

Chiiiiing-

From the tip aimed at a single point, a smoky aura rose, and the battle of strength began.

The white flames were exerting all their strength to push away the blue protective shield, but...

It was still impossible to break through the Diamond-level barrier.

-Hahaha, it's not working after all.

-Damn it!!! If this breaks through, it'll be a huge leap forward.

-Yeah~ I've already made a huge leap forward~

-Still, breaking through the barrier is too much.

-Yeah, even for a shitty game, it doesn't make sense.

The viewers thought that at least BattleNet had some conscience when they saw Sung JiHan's spear being blocked.

Even though Sung JiHan had easily defeated the Flash Golem and received recognition from the Conqueror's Statue.

But still, that was only defeating a boss-level monster that appeared in the game.

However, this barrier was a system element that forced the systems to kill each other. Would it make sense to break it?

The viewers thought that the survival map was flowing too easily, so Sung JiHan was trying a different challenge for their sake.

- It didn't break through? LOL

- Is it starting to get boring?

Because of that, Sung JiHan thought Sung JiHan would give up soon...

But Sung JiHan wasn't like that.

"Is it possible?"

Sung JiHan put away the Phoenix Feather and unfolded the Seoninji once again.

Chiik-!

Flames blossomed on the barrier once again.

The target was the same as before.

The barrier was slightly concave compared to before.

"It's possible."

Bang! Bang! Kwang! Bang!

The Seoninji unfolded consecutively.

Continuous thrusts.

The inner energy of the lower body disappeared rapidly.

The power of the upper and middle body also quickly depleted...

But Sung JiHan's attacks became faster and faster.

-??????????????

-What's going on? How many times did he thrust? Why is the speed getting faster?

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa... 10 times...?!

-Count it again

-It's the 13th time! So fast, crazy!

And on the 14th Seoninji.

"This is my last inner energy."

With a thrust that gathered all the power of the single attacks.

Poof-!

The protective shield couldn't hold on any longer and was pierced by the Phoenix Feather.

Of course, even if it was pierced, the entire shield didn't break.

Just a small point.

Only a small hole was created where the Phoenix Feather had repeatedly struck.

One.

But that alone was enough to astonish the viewers.

-Wow...

-Did it really break through? This?

-Wow, with this level, he should quickly reach Silver at least.

-What's Silver? LOL, he can just go straight to Gold.

How can a Bronze break through a barrier that the game system forcibly imposes?

While the viewers were amazed, they also felt a bit disappointed.

-Still, the hole that was pierced is small.

-I guess I won't be able to meet an Elf after breaking the barrier.

-LOL, if that happened, his subscribers would skyrocket, right?

The fact that the barrier was pierced itself was amazing, but it was a size that a person couldn't pass through.

Since he had already broken through, if it had been a bit bigger, he could have actually approached the Elf in the spectator seats.

The viewers were disappointed that such a situation didn't unfold.

On the other hand.

Sung JiHan smiled bitterly at the sight of the Elf spectators in the spectator seats who showed no particular interest, even though he had pierced the barrier.

"It's not even a provocation at this level."

Especially the Dark Elf with black eyes, who was his target, was looking at him with the same ominous eyes as before.

"Hmm..."

Sung JiHan looked at the hole in the barrier where the spear was stuck.

With a size like that, he could meet the Dark Elf without the barrier's blocking effect.

Since he had already exhausted all his inner energy, there was nothing he could do now.

Sung JiHan made up his mind to look at the Elf in the darkness through the hole.

Swoosh-

Let's remove the barrier, even though it was trying to regenerate in an instant.

Sung JiHan was able to see beyond the spectator seats through a hole before the barrier was filled.

And...

"This is...!"

For the first time since his regression, Sung JiHan felt a chill down his spine.

The space beyond the pierced barrier.

It was darkness.

Like the black eyes of a dark elf in the depths of darkness, a gloomy darkness without a trace of light was swirling inside.

"That... was the entity beyond the barrier."

Sssss-

And soon after the barrier was restored, the scene beyond the barrier transformed into the same spectator seats as before, with the elf receiving attention from the dark elf and the dark elf in the back row looking at Sung JiHan with distant eyes.

As Sung JiHan watched the dark elf in the depths of darkness, cold sweat ran down his spine.

"...That power is unexpected."

The darkness that appeared beyond the barrier was an incredibly powerful force, even when compared to the standards before regression, not just Bronze's perspective.

It must be at this level to be considered a Holy Seat.

---

-Why did it suddenly become like that?

-It's the first time I've seen Sung JiHan surprised lolololol

-What is it!!! What did he see!!!!

-He peeked through the barrier and saw the elf... but there was only...

-Shh!

The viewers who were watching Sung JiHan's broadcast were bewildered.

They only saw Sung JiHan's surprised expression as he looked into the hole, unaware of the darkness.

Sung JiHan was the only one who observed the unprecedented power.

[There are 50 survivors.]

[Survival game will end.]

Sung JiHan's eyes, looking at the message, sank.

"I'll try testing the other directions as well..."

South and north.

Although Sung JiHan would try the same attempt in the direction where the two elves, who looked like queens to anyone, were, he was already half convinced.

The dark elf in the depths of darkness, and the darkness he saw earlier, were related to the Holy Seat 'Shadow Queen'.

[I achieved first place in the survival game.]

[Level increased by 1.]

[As a reward for first place, experience and GP acquisition rate increased by 50%.]

[Acquired 1,500 GP.]

Sung JiHan cleared away the system messages that had become commonplace.

"I leveled up in just three games."

Now that he was in his twenties in terms of level, the leveling speed had slowed down.

"This is not enough."

Sung JiHan clenched his fist and sighed.

It was the first time he had become dissatisfied with the growth speed.

To resist that intense darkness, to provoke the Shadow Queen, he needed more power.

That's why Sung JiHan finally made up his mind to use the achievement points he had accumulated so far.

"I have accumulated 75,200 achievement points so far."

Although he had already completed all the major achievement quests in the game.

[The channel's subscribers have exceeded 50,000.]

[Completed the general achievement, 'Recruiting Subscribers (2)'.]

[Acquired 3,000 achievement points as a reward.]

By progressing through the game from level 16 to level 22, Sung JiHan was able to accumulate a little more achievement points by completing minor quests including the subscriber quest.

"Now is the time to use this."

Sung JiHan opened the achievement store and spent 50,000 points to upgrade the store.

[The achievement store has reached LV.5.]

[From now on, the limit for lower-level upgrades will increase to LV.2.]

['Additional Holy See Slot' item will be added.]

Sung JiHan nodded as he read the scrolling system message.

Additional Holy See Slot.

"I knew it would come out someday, but it came out earlier than expected."

Another system message appeared.

[Currently, Earth is in the tutorial season. Even if you purchase the 'Additional Holy See Slot' item, it will not be displayed in the status window.]

"Well, there is no concept of the Holy See right now."

Sung JiHan opened the upgraded shop.

[Achievement Shop LV.5]

- Achievement Shop Upgrade - 100,000P

- Status Window Expansion LV.1 - 10,000P

- Class Slot Addition LV.2 - 50,000P

- Inventory Expansion LV.1 - 10,000P

- Title Slot Addition LV.1 - 10,000P

- Emergency Recovery (Item) - 10,000P

- Holy See Slot Addition LV.1 - 50,000P

The prices made his eyebrows furrow.

"It's expensive...."

When the shop reached level 5, the consumption of achievement points increased significantly.

The Class Slot Addition LV.2 also consumed 50,000 points, and the Holy See Slot Addition consumed 50,000 points, unlike the other items listed above.

"The shop's effects are so outstanding that it's natural to pay this much."

Yes.

Why didn't the Achievement Shop have such a scam-like effect on the system?

Sung JiHan accepted it and thought about the problem he faced, the 'power to resist the Shadow Queen.'

"For now, adding a class is impossible."

He currently has 25,200 achievement points.

To add another class, it would cost 50,000 points, and he didn't think he would gather the remaining points until he was promoted based on his experience.

"Expanding the inventory or the status window is useless."

Having both would be nice, but there was no immediate addition to his power right now.

The only thing that could be helpful among the currently upgradeable items is...

"A title."

Sung JiHan looked at the title he was currently equipped with.

[The One Who Conquered the Tutorial - Bronze]

-A title given to the player who ranked first in the tutorial.

-Within the Bronze League, all stats increase by +1, and there is a 20% increase in experience gain.

It was a basic title, but it was still quite useful.

"And now, when I reach level 25... I can get another title."

Level 25.

It is the end of the Bronze and the level at which promotion matches are possible.

However, simply reaching the Bronze limit level does not automatically grant a title.

"But I'm different. Because I have Strength 30."

Strength 30.

This was the 'condition' required to obtain the Nameless Martial Art.

And if he successfully obtained the Nameless Martial Art here...

"I will obtain [Successor of the God]."

The title, [Successor of the God].

It was an incredibly powerful title that Sung JiHan used until just before he died in his previous life.

If he equips it, it will greatly help his power.

Sung JiHan decided to add a title slot.

[Purchased Title Slot Addition LV.1.]

[10,000P will be deducted from your achievement points.]

When he spent his achievement points like that.

Knock knock!

He heard a knocking sound at the door.
