The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 80

* * *

-That's not a Death Knight, it's just a skeleton, right?

-Yeah, it can't be a Death Knight lolololol. It's a mob that can only be defeated by a level 80 warrior... Damn, Sung JiHan is crazy strong against skeletons!

It is a fact that anyone who watches his channel knows: Sung JiHan is strong.

From the very beginning of his first stream until now, the performances he has shown always seem to mock common sense.

If there is a reason why viewers continue to be amazed, it is because the scale of his "performance that mocks common sense" was unpredictable.

Just like now.

The defense game, "One Leg," was a map used from gold to diamond.

Not only did Silver Rigger Sung JiHan participate, but he also showed remarkable performance, surpassing other players.

Especially the sight of him standing alone against countless Death Knight legions and defeating them.

The performance Sung JiHan is showing now is an achievement that even Platinum Riggers find difficult.

After the TOP 100 promotion match, Sung JiHan's fandom began to grow excited.

-JiHan-ni ㅠㅠ Can't he just be selected as a national representative?

-That's right. He seems much better than the current national team.

-Silver? Is there a last place in the league?

-Yes~ We're already in last place~ kekekuㅠㅠ

-Wow;; The fandom has become even more intense with the appearance of the Sword King family;; Please understand the topic;;

Although it may be too early to become a national representative, the fans' statements were a minority opinion among viewers.

Regardless, there was no disagreement that Sung JiHan's power was "unrivaled."

While viewers were arguing.

Sung JiHan, who annihilated the Death Knight legion, was waiting for the next wave.

Thud-thud-

This time, the Death Knight cavalry, riding skeletal horses, charged at Sung JiHan all at once.

Unlike the previous Death Knights, these knights of death wore white armor with a black bird engraved on their chests and began their assault with giant spears.

Hundreds of cavalry charging with lances.

-Lance charge!!! Watch out for the damage!!! Hide in the corner!!!!

-Domhwangchaaa!!!!!ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

Despite their tremendous courage, viewers thought that this time it might be dangerous.

Creak-!

Sung JiHan, with lightning crackling around his blue staff, leaped towards the cavalry.

"This time, I will train my force to the limit."

Then, as if on cue, sharp spear tips came rushing towards Sung JiHan from all directions.

The simultaneous attacks, coming at regular intervals, reminded viewers of an iron maiden without a lid.

A perfect encirclement. A crisis where there was no room for escape.

But Sung JiHan embraced this situation.

"I will create an opening with the power of force."

Some attacks were faster than the enemy intended.

Some attacks were slower than the enemy intended.

Shoo-shoo- swoosh!

With the attacks that were coming at him, a time gap was created.

"This is how it's done."

Sung JiHan lightly stepped on the entangled spear tips like stairs, narrowing the gap between him and the enemy.

As the distance closed and the spears became unusable, the Death Knights tried to draw their swords.

But Sung JiHan's blue staff was faster.

Bang!

Starting with the decapitation of one Death Knight's head.

Sung JiHan skillfully maneuvered through the cavalry.

Although the Death Knights tried to resist in any way possible, it was all in vain.

The misfortune of the Death Knights was not the only thing.

* * *

[Sung JiHan detects the fallen Sung JiHan artifact, 'Toe Bone of the Divine Bird of the Fallen Deity'.]

[As intended, the bone begins to burn.]

At some point, white flames started to rise from the blue staff that Sung JiHan was holding, easily incinerating the Death Knight.

"The black bird pattern armor... was there a connection?"

This won't be a good practice.

Sung JiHan briefly felt a bit of dissatisfaction while looking at the rapidly accelerating toe bone.

[I completely understand the faith of the extraterrestrial.]

[Divine power increases by 1. Integrated into Force.]

[The grade of the extraterrestrial artifact, 'Toe Bone of the Divine Bird of the Fallen Deity', decreases to B.]

[The extraterrestrial artifact, 'Toe Bone of the Divine Bird of the Fallen Deity', fulfills its mission.]

[Divine power increases by 3. Integrated into Force.]

[The grade of the extraterrestrial artifact, 'Toe Bone of the Divine Bird of the Fallen Deity', decreases to E.]

[The artifact cannot overcome the power of the fallen deity and disappears.]

"Divine power... 4?"

Other A-grade artifacts only increased by 1 each.

Perhaps because he now knows its definite use, the toe bone gladly fulfilled its duty by increasing the divine power by 4.

With this, naturally, the Force stat that he wanted to increase also went up.

[Force increases by 2.]

[Strength and stats are in a shared state. Strength increases by 2.]

Even the strength linked to Force and the Threefold Battle Formation increased together.

"Ah, there's no need for practice."

The dissatisfaction he felt a moment ago disappeared completely.

Sung JiHan looked at the toe bone, which turned into dust, with a tender gaze.

"Farewell... dear toe bone..."

[From now on, you can only absorb divine power from SS-grade or higher artifacts.]

Although the system imposed restrictions to prevent him from continuously gaining benefits, Sung JiHan decided to enjoy the present moment.

"Inventory."

Replacing the disappeared toe bone with the Phoenix Feather, Sung JiHan continued to subdue his enemies.

* * *

Thud!

Sung JiHan crushed the head of the last remaining Death Knight.

[Normal quest, 'First Leg of the Water Defense' achievement cleared.]

[Obtained 1,000 achievement points.]

[Hidden quest, 'One-Man Army' cleared.]

[Obtained 10,000 achievement points.]

"The map has changed, it's great."

There were no more places to obtain achievements in the Gorge map.

But now that the map has changed, he was able to gain achievement points just by dealing with the likes of the Death Knights.

Sung JiHan's mouth curled up in satisfaction at the rewarding compensation.

"Did you have fun?"

Thump. Thump.

On the other hand, Bi Jang, who used to insult Sung JiHan as a parasite, approached with a much more relaxed expression.

"It seems like the thunder keeps bothering me. I recommend you as the next Imperial Gatekeeper. Seems like you want to serve me as your master."

As Bi Jang spoke.

Crackle!

In response to his words, electricity flashed from the seven brain spears that make up the Heavenly Thunder Brain Spear.

"But that can't happen anymore."

Bi Jang pointed beyond Sung JiHan's legs.

Although the Death Knight unit was completely wiped out.

On the other side of the giant bridge, several flags fluttered, depicting a black bird with its wings spread wide.

And there were cavalry soldiers in black armor lined up densely.

"The elite of the Wind Empire, the Bonghwangdae has arrived... The position of the Imperial Gatekeeper must be coming to an end."

The Undead Legion is just a faction within the vanguard forces.

The true main force of the enemy was the elite of the elites, incomparable to the Undead Legion.

The Black Spear Soldiers, the Bonghwangdae.

In one leg of the map, the most difficult second wave was about to begin.

Thump. Thump.

Among the enemy spear soldiers, a giant figure walked, even larger than a soldier on horseback.

Not only in size, but also in the twisted face, the giant looked like a brother to the Sung JiHan.

Sure enough, he opened his mouth towards Sung JiHan.

"Brother JiHan."

"Hojo Ah...!"

The leader of the Bonghwangdae, Hojo.

He glanced at Sung JiHan.

"...You've raised a good disciple."

"This guy is not my disciple. How could I have someone like him as my disciple?"

"That's true. His face looks quite weak. He seems to have some skills, but with that face, he can never become a true warrior."

"Yeah. That's a shame."

The appearance of the two giants speaking sincerely left the viewers dumbfounded.

-Those guys with their faces blown up are judging others ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Yeah, that's not the face of a true warriorㅇㅇ Sung JiHan should also get his face smashed.

-ㅡㅡ Are they crazy?

-I can't even look at them with their faces like that;;

The conversation didn't last long.

Swoosh-

Hojo drew a giant sword from behind.

"Brother JiHan. As a member of the giant race, I will give you one last advice. Do you not have any intention of naturalizing to the Wind Empire?"

"I cannot do that. The Emperor of the Luck Empire is my brother. I cannot betray the righteousness of brothers."

"What kind of brother leaves his younger brother alone like this? Brother JiHan, you have been used."

"Kuh...! That's not true... My brother will come to protect the leg."

There was no strength in the voice of Baejang as he spoke.

It seemed that he didn't really believe that the rescue force would come.

"Hahaha! Brother JiHan! Do you really not know why the Emperor of the Luck Empire told you to protect the leg with just that mediocre power?"

Swoosh.

Hojo pointed his sword towards the other side of the leg.

The 50 players summoned in this game, along with the soldiers supporting them.

He concluded that they were just mediocre.

"Look at this!"

Shooooo...!

As the wind gathered on the tip of the sword.

When the giant swung his sword, a storm swept through.

That wind was not just a simple wind.

It was a powerful storm that would cut through anything it touched, a fierce blade wind.

'This is nothing.'

Sung JiHan suppressed the wind with the power of his force and easily let it pass.

"Clang!"

"Ahhhh...!"

From behind the leg, screams of various tones could be heard.

To think that he would slaughter the enemies on the other side of the leg with a blade wind from such a distance.

'He's strong.'

As Sung JiHan admired Hojo's sword, he suddenly frowned.

Come to think of it, there seemed to be too many screams coming from behind.

"Surely... the game isn't over, right?"

In the defense game, when half of the survivors are left, the game ends.

Suddenly, the basic rule came to mind.

Ah, it can't be, right?

I can't believe that the game would end just because I couldn't block a single gust of wind.

But I'm still a gold rank, right?

Sung JiHan tried to think positively.

"There are 15 survivors left."

"The game will end."

The ominous premonition became a reality.

***

"Hahaha. Isn't it pathetic? There's hardly anyone left!"

Hojo pointed across the leg with the tip of his sword and laughed mockingly.

"Your brother doesn't have any intention of helping you. Instead, he probably wants you to die here!"

"Hojo! Don't insult my brother!"

"Is it meaningful for you to lead those incompetent fools and protect this leg? You should know what that command means...!"

"I understand!"

As the Thousand Thunderbolts were collected and the Thunder Spear returned to the hands of the Secret Weapon, Sung JiHan hardened his expression upon seeing that sight.

This... is an event that occurs when one leg map ends.

"Secret Weapon! Come to the Wind Empire instead! The Emperor will greatly value you. Look at me. As a member of the Giant Tribe, I have been appointed as the Grand Duke of the Phoenix!"

"I can't do that. I can't betray my brother's righteousness."

"Betrayal... He was the one who betrayed first!"

In response to Hojo's words, Sung JiHan clenched his lips and did not answer.

Instead...

He grabbed Sung JiHan's shoulder.

"You... will live."

Whoosh!

Unlike when he was kicked off the leg for the first time...

This time, maybe because it was the event phase, he couldn't resist.

As Sung JiHan flew behind the leg, Hojo's sword aimed at him.

"I have to cut off any potential threats...!"

"No way!"
