The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 375

"I knew it would be fast."

Sung JiHan frowned as he read Dong Bangsak's message.

"It hasn't been long since the destruction of the remote outpost, and he's already calling."

"The more I know, the more it seems like interest is the highest."

Sung JiHan knew quite a bit about the martial arts displayed by the owner of Dong Bangsak, Mu Shin.

He could now use the basic technique, Sam Jae Mu Geuk, and the ultimate technique, Myeol Shin Gyeol Do.

Of course, Mu Shin's martial arts were different in terms of output from Sung JiHan's own, but he could still understand how to use them through the Honwon Shin Gong.

However, in the case of Dong Bangsak, not only was the martial arts itself outstanding, but there was also the Taegeukma Sword that was still causing trouble in the analysis, making him appear stronger than Mu Shin.

"Of course, since I haven't really seen Mu Shin's power properly, I don't know if he has another martial art..."

Sung JiHan thought of the owner of Abyss, 'Taegeuk's Lost Soul'.

There, the souls of the enemy tribe, the Mok Shin tribe, and the fragments of Sung JiHan were all gathered.

And the fragmented Sung JiHan had died and become that way because of Dong Bangsak.

Now, was he going to get involved there too?

"I can't die now."

Although humanity had become a lower race and had gained an advantage over the lowest-ranking races, Sung JiHan had no confidence in being able to win against the Bronze mid-ranking races or the top-ranking races.

Especially in the case of the five World Tree Elf races who were in the same league, they would happily trample on humanity if Sung JiHan himself wasn't there.

Until humanity escaped from BattleNet, they had to survive somehow.

Still, he couldn't ignore this invitation.

"It would be more troublesome if I didn't go and came here instead."

Rather than meeting Dong Bangsak in the middle of Gangnam, it would be better to see him from the bottom of the sea.

And now that he was a candidate for the Holy See, he wouldn't try to kill him right away.

"Let's go now."

After replying to Dong Bangsak's message, Sung JiHan immediately moved towards the direction of Gugung Palgwado.

And arrived at the bottom of the West Sea.

"Have you come?"

Dong Bangsak, in his ethereal state, absentmindedly stroked his beard as he looked at Sung JiHan.

"You've managed to break a part of Gugung Palgwado."

"I found out quickly."

"Who else on Earth can wake up Jin other than you?"

There was no one who could be a suspect.

Sung JiHan nodded and asked Dong Bangsak.

"So, did you call me here to stop Jin from breaking more?"

"......"

Dong Bangsak silently looked at Sung JiHan.

In his field of vision, a few moments ago.

The phrase shown on the third piece of paper appeared as if in a mirage.

"Guse Je Min (救世濟民)."

A phrase that means to save the people of the world.

This was something that didn't suit Dong Bangsak at all.

He had never had any interest in the people of the world in the first place, and had only been devoted to perfecting his martial arts.

"[As soon as you are released from management, kill Sung JiHan. Take out the Taegeukma Sword and completely annihilate him.]"

"I will accept the order. However, if I take out the Taegeukma Sword on Earth, the planet could be greatly distorted..."

"[It doesn't matter. It's fine even if half of humanity disappears.]"

Even when Sung JiHan became the Holy See and was ordered to take out the Taegeukma Sword by Mu Shin, he had no sympathy for humanity, who would be sacrificed.

But now he was the one who was supposed to save the people.

If he had seen this elsewhere, even if the handwriting was his own, he would have dismissed it as a lie.

"......I have to believe in the words of the third piece."

Such a strange belief was rising from deep within his heart.

In the forgotten past, what kind of connection did Sung JiHan have with him?

Is it possible to trust someone to this extent?

Dong Bangsak continued to recall the words of the third bell, in a state where he did not understand himself.

- If he can't even do this much, then this world will end according to the will of the god...

- I earnestly request you. Please wait a moment for Jin to be broken by him. If you only have the intention, can't you break Jin in no time?

The third bell, Sung JiHan, said to let Jin be broken.

At the same time, he added the meaningful word 'this world'.

As if he had seen not only this world, but also many other worlds.

"...In the end, if I let him go, it means that the world will not end according to the will of the god."

Dong Bangsak looked at Sung JiHan with a complicated expression.

Rationally, he couldn't just dispose of him as a management target.

He had to strengthen the seal here and prevent him from doing anything more.

But...

Why did he feel in his heart that he had to stop it from flowing according to the will of the god?

'....'

He slowly opened his mouth.

"What did you see inside?"

"I saw you."

"Me?"

"More precisely, I saw Kang Sang. He was protecting the World Tree."

"I protected the World Tree?"

"Yes. I said I would prevent the release of the Giant's soul."

"...Me?"

Dong Bangsak pointed to himself with his finger several times.

"Could it be that I saw it wrong?"

"The beard was similar too. I cut it in half myself."

"You..."

He cut his beard in half.

Wrinkles formed on Dong Bangsak's forehead.

'A while ago, I unknowingly touched the middle part of my beard and thought it was strange...'

The time when Jin was released and the time when the outer seal was broken strangely coincided.

Then, Sung JiHan's words.

Could it be that it wasn't a complete lie?

Sigh.

Dong Bangsak turned his gaze to the sealed Jin.

Although the outer seal was broken, the inner seal was still intact.

Inside, there must be the World Tree and his forgotten memories.

If it were to be opened, it could be opened even with a physical body...

"If I open it myself, everything will be destroyed, right?"

Dong Bangsak recalled the warning of the third bell and opened his mouth while looking at Sung JiHan.

"I will give you a chance."

"A chance... you say?"

"Yes. You have the opportunity to dismantle Jin yourself."

"Oh..."

"But."

Snap! Snap!

At the same time, Dong Bangsak's fingers swiftly pierced Sung JiHan's body.

Like water flowing through Sung JiHan's territory, his fingertips grasped his entire body.

He tried to resist in his own way, but Dong Bangsak showed overwhelming strength even in his ethereal state.

After 72 presses were finished.

"The power of the soul has been bound..."

Sung JiHan felt that the power of the soul had been greatly restricted.

At the same time, his body became heavier.

It seemed that the efficiency of his soul had been greatly enhanced by Dong Bangsak's trickery.

Seeing Sung JiHan's perplexity at his own transformation, he stroked his beard.

"Before you go in, you should release this yourself."

"This is..."

"역천혼류逆天混流. It's my own blood manipulation technique that I can use against those who dominate space. I mainly used it when capturing the Holy Seats."

Although blood manipulation was used to block the flow of energy in the blood vessels, Dong Bangsak's mentioned 역천혼류 seemed to be a blockade of the energy surrounding Sung JiHan himself.

"To call this blood manipulation... it's ridiculous."

Sung JiHan thought carefully about his body condition.

Dong Bangsak's 역천혼류.

In his current state, it was difficult to break it with just his soul.

"But if I use emptiness or eternity, I might be able to erase it."

Although his soul was greatly blocked, the rest of his stats were not as restricted, so they could still be utilized.

If he used all of them, he might be able to break Dong Bangsak's blood manipulation.

But...

"With your abilities, you should be able to release 역천혼류 right now. If you just explode emptiness, my blood manipulation will become weak."

"..."

"If you release the blood manipulation using such a trick, you won't survive inside the Nine Heavens Palace. Why don't you try releasing it properly?"

"Are you suggesting I use my soul?"

"Yes."

Dong Bangsak warned that if he couldn't release 역천혼류, he wouldn't be able to withstand the next stage of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Sung JiHan could tell that he was speaking sincerely.

And why wouldn't he?

Dong Bangsak had taught him the trick to release 역천혼류.

"Hmm. Then I guess I have to go back and seal it again."

"...What?"

"Like this."

Whoosh!

A purple flame flickered from Sung JiHan's body, and the suppression of 역천혼류 disappeared.

The fire created by the combination of emptiness and hostility had completely released Dong Bangsak's blood manipulation.

"Tsk. I told you not to release it like that..."

Dong Bangsak clicked his tongue and looked at Sung JiHan disapprovingly.

"Isn't this how it's done?"

Thump. Thump.

Sung JiHan touched his body with blood manipulation, just like Dong Bangsak had done, accurately hitting the 72 acupuncture points.

Shoo...

The power of the soul was sealed again.

"..."

"Unlike the Taegeuk Sword, this can be acquired directly through the soul."

"By the way, you also took the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts. I really don't like that ability of yours."

After having his hard work of creating 역천혼류 taken away in one fell swoop, Dong Bangsak turned his back as if he couldn't stand the sight of Sung JiHan.

"From now on, do as you please."

"Yes. I've learned well."

"Hmph!"

He let out a sigh and disappeared completely, leaving only Dong Bangsak's ethereal body.

Sung JiHan quietly watched his figure.

"He must be frustrated that he couldn't teach me."

The blood manipulation technique that seals space.

This was a method of imposing constraints on the opponent by implementing a part of the Gugung Palgwedo through acupuncture.

And although it was different from the usual level, it was also included in the martial arts of humanity.

Sung JiHan was able to instantly realize this through his soul.

"But releasing this is a bit different from acupuncture."

With the general acupuncture method, if you know how to acupuncture, you naturally know how to unlock this.

I understand how to use the Dongbangsak's Yeokcheon Honryu, but I couldn't grasp how to release this.

"Of course, using a different power can release the constraints, but it's not easy to unlock it with just the soul."

Sung JiHan looked at the Gugung Palgwedo drawn on the floor.

Before entering there, I have to release the Yeokcheon Honryu with my soul.

"The training room is also under repair, but I have something to research in the meantime."

Sung JiHan's eyes sparkled.

***

A few days later.

-Is this another regular game match? It's going to end easily.

-The opponent who gets matched is pitiful.

-Isn't this person supposed to be matched with the Holy Seats?

-That's right. With three stats sealed, he wipes out the enemy in one strike... I've seen players who destroy the balance, but there are very few like this.

"Even though it's a game that is far from fair, at least there should be some minimum balance, right? Why are there guys like that?"

On the Sung JiHan channel, which became a hot topic with the appearance of the owner of the Cosmic Tree Yggdrasil and the Arena.

There were many more alien viewers gathered than before.

They looked at Sung JiHan, who was matched in a regular game, and concluded that the broadcast would end soon.

They were not watching the game and were discussing about the balance of the Battle.net.

It's a regular game with a survival map, so the game will end in a few minutes.

Both alien viewers and human viewers thought the same about the game time.

-But... Sung JiHan's movements don't seem good today?

-?? Hasn't it ended yet?

Strangely, this game was not ending with a single sword.

Chwaaak!

"Kuh, kuhuhuk..."

After a fierce battle with a player, Sung JiHan, who finally snapped the opponent's neck.

He frowned as he looked at the body that didn't move as he pleased.

"I didn't know that the Yeokcheon Honryu state would be maintained even in the game."

After studying the Yeokcheon Honryu for a few days, Sung JiHan, who logged into the game for the first time in a while in that state.

He was fighting unexpectedly with the same acupuncture body in the game.

"Since the stats are sealed, I can't even release the Yeokcheon Honryu."

The Grandmaster League, where fighting with just the soul was enough.

But now that one is sealed, each player he faces is a formidable opponent.

"If the Star Buff hadn't been activated, I would have already died."

Fortunately, thanks to the Star Buff that jumped up to 60 percent performance this time.

He was able to somehow pull up the sealed soul and continue the fight.

Chiiing...

"This, this guy... barely defeated me with that much power...!"

Thump!

At the end of the intense battle, the second opponent's neck fell.

"Hoo..."

Sung JiHan was catching his breath.

What a struggle because of the Yeokcheon Honryu.

I have to release it for sure next time.

While he was thinking that.

[Level up to level 1.]

"Hmm..."

The level that didn't rise even after finishing the game.

Suddenly, it went up.
