The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 280

Sung JiHan smirked after hearing the words of the deceased star's seat.

"What's the problem with the Dragon Flame? Didn't I tell you to seek sponsorship from the Dragon Lord in the first place?"

"Of course I did. The Dragon Lord has a grand goal, so he provides a lot of support to his sponsors. But the seat that is targeting you is not one to meddle with my things. He won't even lay a finger on what's mine, he'll just help you. But he didn't tell you to obtain the Dragon Fire."

"Is obtaining this really such a problem?"

"Yes. The Dragon Fire is a stat unique to the dragon race. But obtaining it by modifying it to suit your race... Why is the purity of the fire so high?"

Kalein blinked his eyes and looked at Sung JiHan's Dragon Flame.

"What's the stat?"

"150."

"150? Such firepower comes out with that level of stat?!"

Hng. Hng.

Kalein shook his skull head and trembled with excitement.

"As expected of our head! It's worthy of being my head. Really...! Shall we merge right now? Let's go to the dead star!"

"Enough. Tell me why the Abyss has increased so much."

"It's originally a secret... But what would we hide from our head?"

Ziiing.

Laser beams shot out from the skull's eyes, revealing the ranking table of the Bronze League, which includes humanity.

"For now, the performance of the race 'humanity,' which was considered to be doomed, is too good, ranking first. The seat of the World Tree Union has been annihilated, and the Green Administrator requested debugging, which is second. The seat cannot be caught in the Bronze, but it was caught."

"Wasn't the Green Administrator full of bugs? The World Tree Union elves were also inserted into the league like that and raised issues from there?"

"Well, that's true. The Green Administrator is the highest-ranked person on Battle.net, an administrator. They cover up their own bugs internally. So the Void side wants to gather 'evidence' to sanction them, but the World Tree side is so thorough."

Evidence.

Sung JiHan remembered when he returned the modified seed of life to Battle.net.

The High Elves threatened him not to hand it over, and in the end, they turned hostile towards Sung JiHan after he did.

If evidence like that were to be gathered, would the World Tree Elves also face sanctions?

"But with these two things, the Abyss shouldn't have formed like this. The biggest problem is your Dragon's Fire."

"The Dragon Flame?"

[Sure. Yongyeom. That's the ability that the Great Sage 'Dragon Lord' shares with his bloodline. Ordinary dragons don't even possess that stat.]

"Is it really that powerful?"

[Well, there's a story that Yongyeom was given by the 'Red Administrator', who was the Dragon Lord's former mount. That's how exceptional the ability is.]

"Red Administrator?"

Sung JiHan's eyes widened.

Red Administrator.

It's a name of an administrator that I'm hearing for the first time since the Green Administrator.

"The Dragon Lord was a mount for the Red Administrator... This is the scale of an administrator."

Indeed, an administrator. It can be considered the pinnacle of the Battle.net.

[Yes. He was once the most powerful administrator, but now he's the hidden Red Administrator... The Dragon Lord or the Sun King are working hard to fill that vacancy.]

"Sun King? The one who branded you? Is he also a Great Sage?"

[Yes. That bastard is quite successful...]

Ziiing...

A light flashed on the forehead of the giant skull, and letters appeared.

[This belongs to the Sun King]

[Only he can possess it]

[Those who seek it shall perish]

Even though he was a Great Sage, Calain had the slave brand of the Sun King.

He revealed it himself and then erased it.

He continued speaking to Sung JiHan.

[Anyway, the disappearance of the Red Administrator is being closely monitored by the Void side as well. But you taming Yongyeom, which is practically the legacy of the Red Administrator... This is a matter that needs to be closely monitored by the Void side.]

"But Yongyeom, Dragon Lord has it too."

[It's different from what was given to the dragon race. It's rare for a race like humans to have such precise firepower with a stat of 150. From the Void side, they sent me to investigate if you have any connection to the 'Red Administrator'.]

"What? Me and the Red Administrator?"

What a ridiculous thing to say.

Sung JiHan responded with a bewildered expression.

"So, can I test it?"

Kalein asked Sung JiHan with a serious tone.

"A test?"

"It's to determine whether you are the successor of the Red Administrator. If the test reveals that you are not the successor, I will step down immediately."

"What happens if I am the successor?"

"Then we will have 200 Abysses here."

"What if I refuse the test?"

"Then we will have 100 Abysses. Considered a suspect."

100 Abysses.

"No matter who I am, it will be difficult for me to handle that."

Sung JiHan nodded.

"Go ahead. I'm confident that it won't be me."

"Oh, good. I'm glad you're cooperative. Well then..."

The skeleton opened its mouth.

"Kaaaah! Ugh! Kek!"

With all its might, it vomited, spewing out a purple flame.

And then, in front of Sung JiHan's eyes, a cluster of purple fireballs appeared.

"Come on, touch this quickly."

"Do I really have to make that sound? It's disgusting."

"Oh, come on. It's so difficult to create this with a clone head! Originally, we were supposed to open the Abyss and send our undead army to the surface. But I used all that power to vomit this out. For the sake of our heads!"

Pick. Pick!

Before the words could finish, half of the undead army behind Sung JiHan collapsed.

Because of this purple fireball, it seemed that a considerable amount of power had been used.

"Understood."

Sung JiHan nodded and slowly reached out his hand.

And then...

Whoosh!

The purple fireball wrapped around Sung JiHan's body.

Swoosh.

It returned to its original form, a fireball.

"Is it over?"

"Oh. Fortunately not! If it hit, the fire would have continued to burn."

"Is that so?"

Swoosh.

Kalein, who swallowed the purple fireball again, blinked his eyes.

"Oh. Fortunately, it has been revealed that our heads have nothing to do with the Red Administrator. The paranoia about the missing 'Red Administrator' from the Void side is severe."

"Why are you so cautious?"

"I don't know the details either, but apparently there was a big collision in the past. Well, anyway, it's about our heads."

Thud. Thud.

The black skull clacked its teeth and smirked.

"Shall we merge now? If you join me, you can become a Grand Seat too."

"Hey, it's over. Leave."

"Don't say that. How about merging, becoming a Grand Seat, and challenging the Red Administrator's position with us?"

"You said the Void side hates that so much. Will they allow it?"

"If you become a Grand Seat, it's legitimate to challenge the Administrator's position."

Grand Seat - Great Grand Seat - Administrator.

Is that the order?

Sung JiHan inferred this from Kalein's words and quickly extended his hand.

"Since it's done, quickly clear the Abyss and go."

[Cheh... Fine. Keep playing with the human race a little longer. Eventually, it will come to me.]

Sss...

With those words, Kallein absorbed the aura of death that spread in all directions.

However, once the test was over, he retreated peacefully.

"If it goes like this, is the Abyss problem resolved for now?"

Sung JiHan thought this, but then he remembered the message he saw in the first Abyss a while ago.

"Hey. Wait a minute. You don't have to solve the Gilgamesh problem?"

[Gilgamesh? Who is that? I was dispatched because of your request. I prepared early because it's our world.]

"In the Abyss I solved earlier, it said that hydrogen from the sky was dispatched due to the 1st Class target - Gilgamesh."

[1st Class target? That means it must have caused quite a commotion. Why are there so many bug-level existences in this world?]

"Is the 1st Class really the target?"

[If you reach 1st Class, you will be promoted to the Void Surveillance Network. If you had ascended from the flames of the Void earlier, you would have automatically become a 1st Class target.]

"I see."

[If the Abyss was created because of the existence called Gilgamesh, it can happen again at any time. Anyway, my Abyss has nothing to do with that. It was a request related to you.]

In the end, one of the newly created Abysses was Gilgamesh.

And the other was Sung JiHan himself, the problem.

"I should have left some hydrogen. But if that guy had come out for no reason, it would have been a disaster for Earth."

Gilgamesh would be somewhere in ruins.

There's no need to settle the Abyss for no reason and make only humanity on Earth suffer.

While Sung JiHan was thinking about what happened earlier.

Kallein finished preparing to retreat.

"Then, I'm going. See you next time~"

"Okay."

"Oh, and if you're going to become a Seat, come up quickly and get rid of it. It'll be easier to become a Great Seat if we merge Seats~"

Even if Sung JiHan becomes a Seat, the black skull seems to continue the story of merging.

He smirked and disappeared into the darkness.

"Hmm..."

Looking at Kallein who disappeared like that.

Sung JiHan shifted his gaze to the system window that had been in his mind since earlier.

There.

"Do you want to absorb 'Void Flame'?"

A message that had been lingering since the Void Flame enveloped Sung JiHan a while ago.

"...If it's related to the Red Administrator, the flame would have remained."

How should I interpret this question of whether it should remain in the body?

Sung JiHan thought about the connection between himself and the Red Administrator, but no matter how hard he tried to remember, there was no clue.

"For now, let's absorb this."

Sung JiHan hesitated between yes and no, but he pressed yes.

Then.

"You have absorbed Void Flame."

"Your Flame Points have increased by 10."

After reaching 150, the Flame Points that had not increased suddenly increased by 10.

"It increased a lot."

The gap with the Red Lightning, which reached 200, has now narrowed to 40.

With this, he could invest the remaining stat points to make it similar.

"For now, I should invest in Flame rather than Void and fuse this."

The Flame ability that attracts the attention of the Void.

It would be better to quickly merge this.

Sung JiHan thought that he should handle work as soon as he returned home.

Shoo!

He jumped up.

---

[Sung JiHan, handling two Abysses in just one day!]

[Sung JiHan's presence revealed once again through this incident.]

[The stock market, which had a sudden surge when Sung JiHan revealed himself, skyrocketed as Abyss was resolved.]

Simultaneously, two Abysses were created, posing a great threat to the safety of humanity.

One of them disappeared so quickly as soon as Sung JiHan entered.

-Sung JiHan really did it all;

-We were all busy with Abyss and the World Battle Net Association and the government coming up with countermeasures... Turns out Sung JiHan's call was the answer.

-I hope he handles at least one place, but they say he can't enter there yet.

-If he can just enter, Sung JiHan will probably sweep it all away again.

-Ah, I wish I held onto the stocks a little longer... So regretful ㅠㅠ

-Sigh, I should have trusted Sung JiHan.

Whenever he steps forward, Sung JiHan plays the role of humanity's problem solver.

His presence grew larger as the main game of the Battle Net progressed.

And accordingly.

-What are the other players even doing?

-Even if players gather from ranks 2 to 100, they would still be useless compared to Sung JiHan alone.

-We couldn't even enter Abyss and were scared outside... We were just like that.

-What will happen if Sung JiHan goes into long-term training... Other players need to step up too, right?

-That's right. Until when are we just going to rely on the bus ㅡㅡ

Criticism formed about what the other players were doing.

No matter how much Sung JiHan carries, it's not a good situation to just wait for one player to come out of the crisis.

"Hmm... I have nothing to say."

"Hey. Dad. There's nothing we can do! Dad also tried to enter but couldn't, right?"

"Still, the world is relying too much on the youngest son. As a top player, this situation... makes me reflect."

Yoon Se-jin, who arrived home, sighed while looking at the online reactions.

He had known since before that his younger brother Sung JiHan would surpass him.

He didn't think he would be burdened by his brother's baggage.

But looking at the current situation.

Not only himself, but the entire humanity was burdened by Sung JiHan.

"We shouldn't rely too much on one player like this."

As someone who had experienced excessive expectations and reliance from the entire nation, being called the hope of South Korea.

Even if Sung JiHan is fine now, Yoon Se-jin was cautious about the situation continuing like this.

Even if he couldn't surpass Sung JiHan, he should at least be a helper.

But the current situation seemed like Yoon Se-jin was one of the burdens on Sung JiHan's back.

"To not be a burden, we need to develop more. It's because the youngest son's growth is too fast."

"That's right. He doesn't give us a chance to catch up."

"But we can't stop his growth, can we?"

"That's true. The youngest son keeps moving forward. We'll do our best to follow from behind."

While having a conversation with his family, Yoon Se-jin, who came to his room to sleep, suddenly.

[The Seat of the "King of the Beginning" wants to sponsor player Yoon Se-jin.]

[The Seat of the King of the Beginning wants to have a conversation with player Sung JiHan as a sponsorship condition.]

[Will you accept this?]

He widened his eyes upon seeing the sudden message.

"The... King of the Beginning?"
