The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 200

=The league competition begins.

In the waiting room for humans, channel 0, which was also focused on Sung JiHan,

When the game started, the screen moved to the battlefield where the actual game was taking place.

=The game format of the competition is primarily focused on defense.

=The top 100 participants in the Diamond Promotion Match cooperate with each other to defend against the incoming monsters on each battlefield.

=The score of each race is determined by who blocks the waves first and how many survivors there are.

=If our team quickly suppresses the monster waves, we can choose the opposing team and send additional monsters.

It was the first time for humanity to experience a league competition.

The game method was simple.

The top 100 players gather to suppress the monster waves and survive as much as possible.

If there is enough strength, they quickly eliminate the waves and summon more monsters to the enemy's territory to compete for rankings.

"The method itself is simple... but there were various strategies for each assigned map."

Sung JiHan recalled past memories.

While humanity played the game honestly according to the given conditions,

The World Tree Elves quickly took control of the maps and made the opposing team suffer through various methods.

=The 20 races participating in the league competition are divided into 5 groups, and humanity is assigned to 3 groups.

=The map that the 3 groups progress through until stage 5 is... the "Giant Cemetery."

The Giant Cemetery map where undead monsters mainly appear.

Among the randomly assigned maps, it was a moderately difficult and safe map.

"But... if you capture the hidden points, it becomes a map where you can bring hell to the opposing team."

Sung JiHan couldn't remember the entire competition map,

But he remembered everything about the Giant Cemetery map.

The World Tree Elves had caused hell for the opposing team by capturing the special points on this map.

Humanity had also learned from their strategies.

And after such learning, the first to successfully capture the special points was

The TOP 100 that Sung JiHan belonged to during his promotion in the past.

"The problem is that only undead monsters appear on this map."

The quest from the Holy See to become the first in the league promotion using the power of the gods.

Will the power of death work well against undead monsters, or will it not work if the opponent doesn't die? I'll have to try it to find out."

Ssshhh.

Sung JiHan controlled the stat "Death" that he couldn't control well and waited for the game to start.

And soon.

Flash!

The 100 players in the waiting room were all assigned to the battlefield.

Summoned to the "Giant Cemetery" map.

"This is the Giant Cemetery map..."

"The tombstones are packed here."

"Are the defense points... better on that hill?"

The Giant Cemetery map, where white tombstones were densely packed in a desolate wasteland.

At least there were gentle hills to the east and north of the summoned area, so they could prepare a defensive posture.

However, Sung JiHan looked around the center and pointed in the opposite direction.

"No, let's go south."

"South? It will be difficult to defend because it's a downhill..."

"There are no tombstones over there."

"Ah...! That's right!"

"Oh, Uncle. You caught on right away. Did you have a premonition dream?"

Yoon Se-ah, who had just joined the top 100 in the Diamond Promotion Tournament, smiled and spoke.

Sung JiHan covered his eyes.

"This is just intuition. There are other ways to have premonition dreams."

"Oh, really?!"

"Did Sung JiHan's premonition dream... activate again?"

"Yes. I'll let you know as we play the game."

After winning the opening match dramatically, Sung JiHan's premonition dream became a hot topic among the Battle.net officials.

At first, people thought it was a joke.

But looking at the footsteps Sung JiHan had taken since awakening as a player.

Always choosing the correct answer among the correct answers.

Now, quite a few people believed that he had the ability to see the future.

"Well, if that guy said it, it must be true. I'll go first."

Showing tremendous growth with the effects of two status windows, Baerun, who had joined the top 100 this time, went south first.

Although he had been hesitant at first, he had become quite favorable since the incident in the chaotic battlefield.

He trusted Sung JiHan's judgment greatly.

"Alright. Let's all go south!"

And so, the top 100 moved smoothly.

"Oh, Sung JiHan player. Will your premonition dream be useful in this game too?"

"Haha. Such a reliable player! I'm really glad we're on the same team."

"Christophe. By the way, you've become an S-class player, but do you still need to continue commentating? I heard you received an amazing deal from American First for your incredible damage!"

"I went on a dungeon exploration with Sung, you know... Unless I'm protected by warriors like Sung or the Sword King, I still want to be a commentator! Dungeons, they're quite scary!"

"Oh, really? We should listen to your dungeon exploration review during the break time!"

"It's nothing special. I just hid behind Sung! Oh. But... a team from the same Group 3 is appearing!"

The commentators were having a small chat about Christophe's dungeon exploration when the list of different races in Group 3 was revealed.

"Finally, the list of three races is revealed. The first one is the Urk."

"The Urk race! The race we saw in the chaotic battlefield. We couldn't measure their strength because Player Sung wiped them all out, but they don't seem to be a strong race. They're currently ranked 20th in the league..."

"The second race is... Oh, machines... a machine race?"

"The race is called Mechan. We haven't seen them in the chaotic battlefield either. They're ranked 15th. They're also below humans!"

Urk and Mechan.

The muscular pig-headed creatures and the bipedal robot race seemed powerful at first glance, but their league rankings were lower than humans.

With this, Sung JiHan wondered if the allocation of races in Group 3 was acceptable.

"Uh... There's an elf at the very end! Uh, the name of this race is 'World Tree Elf - 200'?"

"No way. There were World Tree Elves again? Ah, their rankings are also revealed in the Space League. They're ranked 1, 1st place! The World Tree Elf 200, the race that holds the 1st place!"

When the name of the World Tree Elf 200 was revealed last, not only the commentators but also the viewers were all amazed.

-1st place in the league?

-The elves were 1st place? And it's the World Tree Elves again?

-I was wondering why there were numbers after the World Tree Elves last time...

-WTF, so they have all the numbers from 1 to 200?

-Those damn elves... What kind of cockroaches are they?

-Is this even possible? Battle.net's management is shit -_-

The World Tree Elves, who had dominated humanity in the opening match.

Sung JiHan caused a reversal in the fifth game and executed them in reverse, but objectively, the power balance was clearly overwhelmingly in favor of humanity.

But there's another race?

"What kind of game is this?" Viewers criticized Battle.net.

"'Downglass' has sponsored 100,000 GP."

"What do I do? I ended up on the same team as an elf ㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

Even on the Sung JiHan channel, which broadcasts the promotion match, a sponsorship announcing this news arrived.

"Is that so? We should prepare well."

However, contrary to people's surprise,

"Of course, I knew I would end up on the same team as an elf."

Sung JiHan's reaction was as expected.

"There are five elves among the 20 teams in the league, so one was bound to be chosen. Now that it's like this, I need to quickly capture the points."

The World Tree Elves who have a complete understanding of the map.

Since they were in the same group, they had to capture the special points of the map before at least the third stage.

Otherwise, they would occupy them first.

"If I can't use the power of death in the first stage, I should discard it immediately."

The power of death that is difficult to use.

Sung JiHan decided not to hold onto it for too long and to clearly organize it in the first stage.

Since there was an elf on the opposing team, they couldn't drag out the time.

"The first stage begins."

Kururur...!

As the game started, the ground in front of the tomb cracked.

Undead monsters began to emerge one by one.

Unlike typical skeleton or zombie monsters,

The Death Knights wearing thick armor were emitting an unmistakably formidable aura.

Perhaps because it was the Diamond Promotion Match, the monster waves were powerful from the beginning.

"Oh... that... looks a bit strong, doesn't it?"

"Don't think of them as weak undead. Please buff us!"

"I'll use magic first!"

When all the top 100 players were on guard,

"In the face of death, all things are equal. I, Sung JiHan, will preside over this in the name of the Reaper."

Sung JiHan used the skill 'Death Sentence' with a calm face.

To be able to use the power of death in earnest, one must recite the predetermined lines.

Yoon Se-ah, who was preparing for interception next to him, looked at Sung JiHan with a bewildered expression.

"What... are you doing, Uncle? Suddenly acting like a middle schooler?"

"I'm trying out a new skill."

"Oh~ Is that the skull mask you received? Why did you recite such lines? It's embarrassing."

"You can recite any lines you want as long as the performance is good... but I hope it performs well..."

Sung JiHan, who was looking at the blood-red light flowing from his right hand without much expectation,

"...Huh?"

Instead of the light going out,

It was growing, surprising Sung JiHan.

"What's going on, all of a sudden?"

What was barely noticed in reality,

When they entered the game, it suddenly received a tremendous response.

And.

Clang. Clang.

"...Huh?"

"Why are they kneeling?"

The Death Knight Legion, who was about to charge with a terrifying force, began to kneel one by one.

* * *

"What... What is going on? All the undead are kneeling before Sung JiHan!"

"Ah, could it be another premonition? But Sung JiHan, the player, seems a bit confused too!"

"If this continues... what will happen to the wave clear?"

The situation on the battlefield where the enemy undead legion suddenly kneels in submission.

Not only the commentator, but Sung JiHan, who had exuded an aura of death, also watched this situation for a moment without understanding a word.

"Fire Wave!"

Meanwhile, Balran, who had been preparing in advance, used his exclusive trademark skill, Fire Wave, to engulf the undead legion in flames.

[Submit to the Reaper.]

[Give me your name.]

The Death Knights, completely indifferent to whether their bodies were burning or not, all commanded Sung JiHan at once.

"Stay in that position."

Sung JiHan continued to kneel before them, looking at his right hand.

He wondered why this energy only erupted like this in the game.

[Within the BattleNet, you have brought death to countless targets.]

[The power of death is further enhanced.]

[Within the BattleNet, you have brought death to over ten thousand targets.]

[The power of death recognizes you as a Reaper.]

System messages appeared timely.

"Over ten thousand targets... Well, I guess I did kill more than ten thousand in the BattleNet. Was this the cause that differed from reality?"

Sung JiHan roughly grasped the mechanism of death.

In reality, he had hardly killed anyone, so the power of death did not respond at all.

But in the game, Sung JiHan had brought death to many.

So the power of death willingly recognized him as a Reaper.

"Only usable within the BattleNet... This is half-baked, isn't it?"

Sung JiHan looked at the surging power of death with a cold smile.

"I can't leave it like this."

Whether in reality or in the game.

He had to fully control this power.

Sung JiHan decided to thoroughly analyze the power of death in the competition.

"Everyone, get up..."

He gave orders to the undead legion.

"Dig up that hill."

Sung JiHan pointed to the hill where the top 100 players were preparing their defensive positions.

[We will... obey.]

[We will... comply.]

Then, they all stood up and walked towards the hill.

And so, the defense map began to change genres from the very beginning.
