The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 210

The Divine Spear of Longinus.

It was a seemingly simple thrust.

The gathered energy at the tip of the spear was quickly absorbed by the entire spear.

The blood-stained spear gradually extended towards Sung JiHan's iron-blooded cross.

Its movement was slow and steady, compared to Longinus' enhanced physical abilities.

It was so slow that it seemed like a joke, considering the speed of Longinus' body.

When Sung JiHan began to wonder if this was really the Divine Spear,

"Kuk...!"

The avatar body of Avatar Vladmir, reaching out with the spear, was melting from the tip of his toes in an instant.

"Avataron... Is this the limit...!"

With those words, Longinus, who had turned into blood and been absorbed by the spear, quickly transformed.

"All of the opposing team's players have been defeated."

"The game will end soon..."

As all the players on the opposing team were defeated, a message appeared stating that the game had ended.

"What? It's over?"

No, is this a joke?

Sung JiHan felt a sense of helplessness.

He thought he would see the Divine Spear of Longinus in action.

But now it was falling apart right in front of him?

"But the spear is still coming."

Even though Longinus, who was piercing the spear, had disappeared,

The slowly approaching blood-stained spear.

Although it seemed far from being a spear that could kill a god,

"I should try to block it."

Before the game ended, Sung JiHan decided to take the initiative.

However,

"My body..."

When he tried to take a step, his body was completely stiff and unresponsive.

And it wasn't just Sung JiHan who stopped.

"...Even the system has stopped."

"The game will end soon. After that, you will be logged out."

The system message should have appeared,

But there were no more messages after that.

In a frozen world,

The spear of Longinus leisurely flew towards him alone.

"Time stop... Does this have something to do with his Divine Spear?"

Sung JiHan thought so and tried to analyze the situation to find a way to overcome it.

There were many types of power for the sake of the soul and emptiness,

"But it's hardly moving..."

It seemed like control had disappeared.

Sung JiHan's control was not working.

At least, the only thing that was trying to move was the energy of the soul and emptiness.

He tried his best to control even that,

But the slowly approaching spear was now close to him.

And then,

Thunk!

When the tip of the spear was embedded in the cross,

Sss...

A blood-red smoke rose from the tip of the spear.

And above that, faint purple letters appeared.

It was a completely new form of writing that was neither Hangul nor English.

"...Why. Can I read it?"

For some reason, Sung JiHan was able to read it without difficulty.

[Target condition, partial match.]

[Annihilation code activated.]

And then the characters disappeared into thin air.

Hwack!

The center of the Iron Cross was pierced.

Through that gap, Hyeolchang pierced Sung JiHan's body.

Pook!

The tip of the spear pierced Sung JiHan's body.

Shooooo...

The power flowing out of the spear quickly erased his body.

And what he was particularly trying to suppress was the power of the soul.

Sung JiHan could feel it instinctively as the spear pierced him.

"This power... completely antagonizes the soul. In contrast, the void... seeks to utilize it."

The soul is deleted, but the void moves according to its own will.

However, at first, Sung JiHan had the upper hand over the void.

"No, I need to see how this works."

To see how the spear utilizes the void, Sung JiHan decided to follow its movements.

As the void joined forces, the spear showed a peculiar flow from within.

"Ho..."

Even in a situation where more than half of his upper body was pierced.

Sung JiHan had no hesitation in understanding the movement of the spear.

A completely new way of devouring the soul, the spear.

But there was a consistent flow in its movements.

"Is this... related to the annihilation code?"

The word "annihilation code" that he was able to read for some reason.

Sung JiHan instinctively knew that this peculiar flow, which suppressed the soul by joining forces with the void, was related to the annihilation code.

"Good."

Even as his body was being deleted.

Sung JiHan, who had no hesitation in analyzing the spear, thought.

[Logging out.]

After the spear's time stop ended.

He could feel the flow returning.

"It's a shame."

If only he had analyzed a little more.

Even in a situation where his body completely disappeared, leaving only his head and limbs.

Sung JiHan regretted not fully understanding the "annihilation code".

"But... I did find something."

Even in the midst of a hole in his body.

Sung JiHan's eyes were clearer than ever.

The spear.

It was worth directly confronting it with his body.

Meanwhile, on Korea's Channel 0.

"Oh, the two players. I wonder what they're talking about... We can't hear it on the broadcast."

"Oh, Vladimir is creating a spear from his hand! The blood is gathering in one spot... He must be preparing a powerful technique!"

"Sung JiHan! Are you just watching this?"

While Sung JiHan and Longinus' conversation was muted.

Their clash was being broadcasted.

-Today, there have been frequent accidents during the broadcast.

-It looks like Vladimir is using a special move as he calmly collects blood on the window. Why is he waiting?

-It's a Korean rule to wait for situations like this, haha.

-No, I was falling behind, but now is the chance to counterattack. If I can't secure a win like this, what am I going to do?

People who couldn't understand why Sung JiHan was staying still because they couldn't hear their conversation.

One worry like this disappeared as Vladimir's body was soon absorbed into the blood on the window.

-Huh?

-What's this? Vladimir... why did he get absorbed into the window?

-Haha, did the special move fail?

-Haha, look at that. Sung JiHan, don't you have precognition? You were waiting because you had a plan.

-LOL, why are there so many non-believers? They said to trust only Sung JiHan, haha.

Sung JiHan was only waiting to experience the divine punishment of Longinus.

From the perspective of those who didn't know the situation, it only seemed like precognition had been activated again.

=Game, game over.

=Korea... wins against Russia with a score of 3:1!

=The final clash ended a bit anticlimactically...

=What does it matter! Victory is what's important!

That's how the broadcast ended.

After that, in the still world, the scene of Sung JiHan being pierced by the blood on the window was not captured on the broadcast screen.

Perhaps that's why.

"Wow, JiHan, did you know and wait for that at the end? Did you anticipate that Vladimir would be absorbed into the weapon?"

"Precognition is really amazing... Did you come up with something good again?"

The players approached Sung JiHan and only talked about precognition.

No one mentioned the scene that happened after the game ended.

"Precognition can't be controlled so easily. We'll have to see what happens in the future."

Sung JiHan lightly responded to those players.

"Coach, I'm going to go home for a bit."

He informed Coach No Youngjun of his departure.

"Now? But there's an MVP interview for the series..."

"Please do that for me instead. I thought of something I need to train while facing Vladimir."

"T-training?"

"Yes."

Coach No Youngjun looked at Sung JiHan with a puzzled expression.

"What kind of training is this?"

'What kind of training is this ghost doing?'

There were already rumors that he was always locked up at home training.

But still, couldn't he spare some time to give his MVP acceptance speech?

"Um... is it because you don't like the interviewer?"

"Huh? I don't even know who it is. I'll just go and see. Brother-in-law, see you later."

"Why? Let's go together."

"I'm faster on foot."

Hmph!

With those words, Sung JiHan disappeared, spreading his wings.

Coach No Youngjun watched him with an expression of disbelief.

"...Sejin, could you possibly do the interview instead?"

"Well, if it's for my brother-in-law, I'll do it."

Yoon Sejin nodded.

If it were someone else, she might not have agreed, but since it was for her brother-in-law.

She could do it in his place.

"Thank you. Huh... what kind of urgent training is this?"

From the coach's perspective, he was grateful that the player voluntarily became so strong.

But people also need time to rest.

Director No Young-jun, with an excited expression on his face, prepared for an interview with Yoon Se-jin.

* * *

The Star of the God of War, Full of Surprises.

"...You endured."

On the live broadcast screen, Longinus, who had not been caught, smiled with disappointment until the last scene.

Although Sung JiHan's body had completely disappeared, leaving only his neck and limbs.

In reality, it could be considered instant death.

"He didn't disappear completely."

"...Yes, my lord. He resisted the power of the Divine Execution."

Originally, when hit by the Divine Execution's spear, the entire body should have disappeared instantly upon contact.

But Sung JiHan remained, until time resumed and started flowing again.

For a long time, he protected his own body.

"Not bad."

From the God of War, who usually didn't show any emotions in his voice, a rare sense of satisfaction could be felt.

"But simply enduring is not enough. He must show his improved form."

"..."

"Longinus. Next time, I will allow you to use the spear against him. Bring out his limits."

"Thank you, my lord."

The wandering God of War, who was not allowed to use the spear until now.

Longinus bowed his head in front of Sung JiHan and stepped back from his position.

"Are you... alright?"

With a lifeless face, walking unsteadily by his side.

Dong Bang-sak approached, stroking his beard.

"Dong Bang-sak, did you see?"

"Yes. I also had to test him through the incarnation. I watched it for reference."

"Hoo..."

Longinus let out a deep sigh.

"The Divine Execution's spear was blocked by a mere human... It didn't taste good to begin with, but today it's even worse."

"Didn't his torso break? If more time had passed, the rest of his body would have been destroyed too."

"Dong Bang-sak... Why did you do that knowing the consequences? He is a human. When the spear touches him, his body should disappear completely. But he endured it..."

"He's a human..."

In response to Longinus' lament, Dong Bang-sak spoke with a meaningful voice.

"Do you really think so? That he is a human?"

"What do you mean?"

Sueuk.

Dong Bang-sak took out a gourd from his waist.

"Let's go inside and talk."

When he opened the gourd's stopper.

Whoosh...!

Dong Bang-sak and Longinus, the two gods, were sucked into it at the same time.

"No, who would listen all the way here in the Star of the God of War..."

In response to Longinus' complaint, Dong Bang-sak said with a smirk.

"The God of War is listening, isn't he?"

"...You mean he can't hear us here?"

"For a moment, yes."

Inside this gourd, even the eyes and ears of the owner cannot invade?

As Longinus looked around in amazement, he asked Dong Bang-sak a question.

"But shouldn't the owner hear? The conversation about whether Sung JiHan is human or not."

"Well... it's just my one-sided guess."

Dong Bang-sak glanced around and said with a smirk.

"In my opinion, that child Sung JiHan... seems to be a 'kin' of the gods."
