The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 191

A little while ago.

"It's time."

In the waiting room.

Sung JiHan, who had been observing the situation, stood up from his seat.

"Brother-in-law, I'll be back."

"...Brother-in-law, did you know something?"

Yoon Sejin, who had been defeated by a high elf's kick, listened to the requirements for participating in the 5-game series and looked at Sung JiHan with a surprised expression.

"He said he had to participate in the Space League no matter what and asked for my support...."

Something seemed strange.

He didn't understand why he was so eager to participate, even giving him cold glares.

"My dream seems to fit well. It's like a premonition."

Sung JiHan replied lightly and walked slowly forward.

All the players' gazes were focused on him.

"No way, Sung JiHan... Can you participate?"

"Of course! He can play any class. He even meets the requirements for a supporter!"

"How did this situation fit so perfectly...!"

"Ah, please...!"

Just a moment ago, the players who had sent Sung JiHan unfriendly glances, wondering why he was here, all looked at him with desperate eyes.

And...

"...Player Sung JiHan. I'm counting on you for the 5 games. Please... break their plans and give them a taste of defeat."

Coach Davis, who had returned to the waiting room and saw Sung JiHan walking towards him, bowed deeply.

Whether he knew and participated, or coincidentally matched the situation with his sense of justice, it didn't matter now.

In a situation where 20% of the world's strongest players were facing execution.

The only card that could turn the tide was Sung JiHan.

When Coach Davis tried to bow his head deeply, Sung JiHan stopped him.

"Of course. But I have a request."

"A request..."

"If I win, there will be a penalty. Please execute it exactly as the enemy proposes."

"If it's a penalty, does that mean execution?"

"Yes, no matter what conditions the enemy presents, it must be executed."

"...I understand."

Coach Davis nodded, his head slightly bowed.

Returning the penalty they had set.

That's what he hoped for.

"Well then. Let's finish the 5 games."

Flash!

Sung JiHan disappeared after being summoned in the waiting room.

The players who were watching him all let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Sung JiHan has been summoned...!"

"Phew, that proves that he meets the participation requirements."

"We're alive...!"

When facing the enemy, he was scarier than anyone else.

But when he was on their side, he was more reliable than anyone else.

Now they could feel a little relieved about the 5 games.

* * *

[The 5th game begins.]

"A player who meets the requirements of the 'Elgacia Paradise' map will participate."

"The game type is survival."

The final game where the survival of 20% of the national team players is at stake.

-Whoa... So we've been played by the elves all this time...

-We could have easily won the first and second games, but did those bastards intentionally come all the way to the 5th game to execute us?

-But if they had collected 4 cards, they could have blown up the 4th game. Why did they come all the way to the 5th game?

-They say there are more options that can be changed in the 5th game, especially the penalty...

-Whoa, this is crazy... Is this the Space League?

-Oh, I'm scared to think about who will be executed...

-Even if they were Korean players... ㅠㅠ

Viewers who didn't know the details of the game's participation requirements had already given up and fallen into despair.

While praying for their own country's players to survive, those who were trembling at the elves' design...

=The 5th game begins...!

=Representing humanity, player Sung, Sung JiHan, will participate!!

=That's right. Sung JiHan, the player who can play all classes! He's a platinum player who perfectly meets the requirements for a supporter!

=If he had been on the reserve list, he would have been randomly selected, but since he's on the national team roster, he can participate immediately!

=Ah... Is the situation like this now?

When the list of participating players appeared, the atmosphere changed completely.

-Whoa... Sung JiHan is participating!

-Kya!! Hey, that bastard from earlier, come out! Why are you taking up a spot when you're not even qualified? Those bastards who were foaming at the mouth asking why he's on the team ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, seriously, isn't he amazing? The situation is so perfect ㄷㄷㄷ

-Sigh, I'm exhausted...

-Kill the elf!!

Sung JiHan's power was acknowledged by everyone.

Especially the viewers from Japan and China who were against him before, now they were all supporting him with one heart.

-This... is the taste of victory...

-Wwww, it's not just us who can't handle it. The elves should also experience Sung JiHan wwww

-Sung JiHan... you're showing your true potential as a shaman's disciple... I'll support you today.

-Shaman's disciple, damn ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, just don't associate us with them ㅋㅋㅋ

-Those guys were flooding the chat asking why Sung JiHan is on the national team just a moment ago ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

In this situation where he received the support of all humanity,

Sung JiHan, who entered the paradise of Elgashia, looked around.

True to its name, Elgashia was a map made up of peaceful green landscapes.

In the center of the map, in the sky,

A giant tree was floating.

"Is that the sapling of the World Tree?"

The sapling of the World Tree, which amplifies the power of spirits.

As Sung JiHan looked at it, he could feel that there was a power beyond spiritual power contained within it.

"It's filled with the energy of life."

The energy of life that made the Demon King regain his senses, the energy that Sung JiHan had used to its fullest.

It was pouring out from the tree, which was too large to be called a sapling.

"Should I absorb some of that power?"

While Sung JiHan was thinking about replenishing his almost depleted energy of life,

Flash!

A supporter from the enemy side, a Platinum Supporter, was summoned.

Just a supporter in name.

The elf player, who had a bow on his back and a dagger in each hand,

"You're a rookie."

Looking at Sung JiHan, he suppressed a laugh.

"You will be given a hundred chances. Until then, show me what you've got."

Whoosh!

The elf disappeared.

For a supporter, his movements were incredibly agile.

In order to become a player suitable for the map of Elgashia.

Although his class was a supporter, in reality, the elf had been trained as a warrior.

Perhaps because the map was enhanced with spiritual power.

The elf's movements seemed stronger than that of a diamond-level warrior.

=The enemy is fast...!

=Is the map designed for the elves!?

=Ah, Sung JiHan...! I hope you win...!

After losing three or four matches.

The commentators were worried that even Sung JiHan might not find it easy.

Thump.

As soon as Sung JiHan waved his hand in the air, the head of the disappearing elf was caught.

"...What!?"

"Come."

Thud!

As he clenched his hand, the entire body of the exploding elf burst out.

To prevent blood from splattering on his body, Sung JiHan isolated the space.

He muttered a few words.

"Quickly come back to life, elf."

One strike.

Without even using a weapon, as the elf burst out,

The commentators breathed a sigh of relief.

=Ah...!

=As expected of Sung JiHan! He's reliable!

=He's completely exposed!

And soon.

Shooooo....

The enemy elf resurrected in the same spot.

Boom!

"Again."

Boom!

"Again."

Sung JiHan continued to explode the elf.

Without showing any mercy, he continuously killed the resurrecting elf.

But not a single viewer frowned at this sight.

-Kill them!! Kill them more!!

-Ah, when will they die, those things -_-

-3, 4 games and all the stress is gone lol

-If it continues like this, will they be executed?

-Yes, it's the manual for dealing with new recruits. Elf, you should experience it lol

Just before the foreign player was about to be executed, the situation turned around.

Everyone watched with one heart and one mind as the elves died one after another.

The face of the Elf Chief Official, for the first time since the start of the game, lost its composure.

"Who is the author...?"

The elf who participated as a platinum supporter.

That elf was not a player who would explode so helplessly.

According to the data of the World Tree Federation, even the top-tier race supporters could easily defeat them.

Because he was thoroughly trained as a warrior player.

In addition.

'Even though there is the protection of the World Tree...!'

Although it was just a sapling, the protection of the World Tree gave tremendous power.

With the support of this, the elf who was backed up was powerful enough to overpower even a top-tier diamond warrior.

But to overpower such an elf so easily...!

'If we lose like this, it will be a big problem.'

Among the participating players, 20% were executed.

This was a penalty that was more fatal to the elves than to the inferior race of humans.

Of course, as herself, she had never imagined that this punishment would come back to them.

Seeing Sung JiHan, she realized that if they lose, this penalty would be fatal.

The population of the World Tree Elves was overwhelmingly smaller compared to humans.

So if 20% were gone, it would be difficult to raise new ones.

"It's an emergency...!"

The Chief Official, fully aware of this, reported an emergency situation somewhere.

Srrrr...

Her appearance began to change completely, unlike before.

'No, that appearance...'

Davis, the director, who had been enjoying the Chief Official's anxiety and unease from across the table, widened his eyes.

The changed appearance of the Chief Official was completely identical to the High Elf he had seen earlier.

The only difference was that her hair color was completely golden.

'...Her appearance on the Sung JiHan channel was like that too. What is this?'

I will obediently accept defeat.

What are you trying to do again?

Even in a overwhelmingly advantageous situation, Coach Davis seemed somehow uneasy.

And...

Kururur...

From the tree of the world that was in the sky,

As the dirt pile fell, the leaves also fell.

"Haah, haah..."

The elf's hair, which had been bursting out in a sorry state, shone green.

Thud.

For the first time, Sung JiHan blocked the attack.

***

Sss...

"The World Tree... has bestowed its grace...!"

The completely transformed appearance of the elf.

Just a moment ago, similar to a High Elf, with golden hair shining green.

The strengthened elf rushed forward in the blink of an eye.

Clang! Clang!

In an instant, dozens of blows were exchanged, and Sung JiHan and the elf achieved a momentary stalemate.

Considering Sung JiHan's transcendent power, such an exchange should not have been possible.

It was clear how immense the power bestowed by the World Tree was.

[Is that really a tree? Such tremendous power... The World Tree. It truly is one of the seven beings that rule the universe.]

"Can you really resist something like that?"

[...We'll try. Because that's our reason for existence.]

Even the Shadow Elf, Ariel, was in awe of the powerful ability of the World Tree.

Sung JiHan gazed at the life force bestowed by the World Tree to the elves in the sky.

The power that was much easier to absorb than when floating in the sky.

"I should take some of it."

Whoosh!

Instead of fighting, Sung JiHan intercepted it in the middle, going up to the sky.

Shoooo...

Perhaps because he had absorbed it once.

The life force that came in so naturally.

Rather than directly giving it to the elves, Sung JiHan absorbed more of it in the middle.

[Master, are you absorbing too much? You might become a slave of the World Tree!]

Ariel was astonished when she felt a much greater life force entering her body than when she absorbed from the Seed of Life before.

"Are you okay?"

[Try insulting the World Tree.]

"The World Tree is just a firework in the universe."

...Why are you okay?

Sung JiHan remained calm, not understanding the current situation.

And then...

"You, how did you... take my energy... no... isn't it, Mother...?"

The elf who was angry at Sung JiHan for taking away a large amount of life force.

Once it reached a certain level, the elf called Sung JiHan "Mother" and became confused.

And then...

"Is this... Mother's... grand plan?"

Thud.

The elf kneeled in front of Sung JiHan, unable to hide his confusion.

"Yes, my child. So, just die now."

Bang!

Sung JiHan kicked the elf, sending him flying, and looked up at the sky.

The World Tree, emitting an immense amount of life force.

Boooooom...!

The tree shone with a green light, as if it didn't care even if Sung JiHan took away its energy.

It continued to infuse him with the power of life.

As if it was a bet to see who would win.

Instead of reviving and strengthening the already dead elf.

It seemed like Sung JiHan wanted to control him by continuously infusing him with energy.

But...

"Why does he seem so unaffected?"

Is it because he is soulless?

Despite being filled with life force, Sung JiHan remained free.

Until there was no more space to contain it, he collected the life force little by little.

"Hmm..."

Lost in thought while looking at the Eclipse in his left hand.

Ameyoungsin-gyeol, the strongest skill of Ameyoungsin-gum.

The martial art that could only be used right before the destruction of the Earth when it was registered as a skill in the past.

Even in his current state, stronger than when he was the Muhon Sung JiHan, he couldn't find a clue to manifest the martial art.

But now...

"It seems possible."

With the life force condensed inside his body.

Paradoxically, Sung JiHan felt that he could manifest the martial art that suppresses life more than ever.

"Ariel."

"Why?"

"You said before that if I grow, I will show you the Ameyoungsin-gum, right?"

"Yeah... the strongest skill of Ameyoungsin-gyeol, right?"

"I'll try it once, so endure."

"Why do I have to endure if you're showing it to me?"

"Well..."

Boooooom!

The life force engulfed the Eclipse.

"Ah, ahh... what, what is this?"

"This is how it can be used."

Ignoring Ariel's scream, Sung JiHan extended his sword towards the sky.

As the form of the sword disappeared, darkness exploded.

The shadow that started to spread from the Eclipse flew towards the sky.

Mumyeongshingong.

Ameyoungsin-gyeol.

Ameyoungsin-gum.

The radiant paradise Elgashia was completely engulfed in darkness.

The World Tree, floating in the sky.

And above it, even the sunlight was devoured by the darkness.

=I can't see anything...!

=The whole map is covered in darkness!

Even the commentators who were watching the game didn't know what to say.

"This, what on earth..."

The eyes of the Elf Grand Chancellor were bloodshot as he stared at the dark screen.

[Paradise Elgashia is collapsing.]

[The 5th match is ending.]

The system message announcing the end of the game appeared on the darkened screen.
