The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 133

Sizuru is targeting Yoon Se-ah.

Sung JiHan wiped his chest.

"If it weren't for Ariel, it would have been a big problem."

If she hadn't bought time in the middle, Yoon Se-ah would have followed Sizuru.

"I can't just let this happen."

The best defense is offense.

Sung JiHan decided to lay the groundwork for a counterattack.

And for that, information is necessary.

"Let's take her and interrogate her right away. We need to extract all the secrets from her."

At Sung JiHan's stern appearance, Ariel, who had become a shadow elf, changed her form.

"Interrogation? That's my specialty. Master, can't I join in?"

"You... You're quite cooperative."

"She humiliated me quite a bit. I struggled quite a bit against the Crimson Dagger."

"The dagger you transmitted on the laptop screen?"

"Yes. At the very least, it's SS-grade... No, it's... I'm sure. It's an item with SSS-grade performance. That woman, she spent a lot of money on her whole body."

Was the dagger that emitted only a red light such an exceptional weapon?

It seemed that it wasn't a lie to call it a national treasure.

"Alright. Let's do it together."

They were the two who were having a gloomy conversation while interrogating.

But when it came down to it...

[Wait, wait! I'll tell you everything!]

Akari, who was to be interrogated, had no intention of resisting at all.

"What?"

[Because of that woman Sizuru, I thought I would lose my body and live as a puppet until I die. I'll cooperate actively!]

Shivering-

Akari trembled, clutching her arms.

"And then... She took control of my body and said she would definitely control it. She killed my parents with my body... and then she laughed at me, saying I couldn't resist."

"...I see. Master."

Tsk-

It was a statement that made his tongue involuntarily click.

'She was a woman more vicious than I imagined.'

In this way, Sung JiHan acted as a translator through Ariel and had a conversation with Akari.

"Where do you live?"

[Me? I...]

"Not you, Sizuru."

"Ah. Yes. I have a house in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. Mainly in Tokyo..."

Akari immediately answered the questions about where she lived.

She didn't stop there and voluntarily revealed all she knew about Sizuru's weaknesses.

"Sizuru was obsessed with the Akashic Pages. She even created a comprehensive trading company that specializes in purchasing Akashic Pages."

"She created a company just for the Akashic Pages?"

"Yes. It's called SZ Trading. It's a global company that is spread all over the world... and there..."

Akari revealed everything she knew about Sizuru.

Among them, it even included the murder case that Akari herself committed under Sizuru's orders.

Sung JiHan listened to her story and thought.

"What supports Sizuru is the Akashic Pages themselves."

The Akashic Pages that enhance the performance of Support Gifts.

Sizuru was using her abilities beyond their limits by acquiring them as soon as they became available.

"The Akashic Pages seem to be the problem. I want to cut off the supply altogether."

"Well, after the tutorial ends, the Akashic Pages won't appear much. They'll disappear in a few months."

"Is that so? But I don't like seeing her so confident until then..."

He looked at Akari.

"The things you've said so far. Can you say the same things on the Battle Tube broadcast?"

"...Yes. Of course. I'll do anything that could harm her."

"Good. We'll prepare a place soon. And Se-ah, you..."

Sung JiHan looked at Yoon Se-ah, who was standing with her head down.

"Why are you like that?"

"Ah, Uncle. I'm sorry about today's incident..."

"What is there to apologize for? I didn't expect something like this to happen either."

This is not something the victim should apologize for.

Instead, we should be grateful for being unharmed.

"But you should stick with me until the Shizuru situation is resolved. We don't know what crazy things this woman might do."

"From now on, I'll stick to you like a magnet!"

"That's a good idea. But... are you okay wearing the Void Veil?"

"Well... I did see a gray mist-like thing swirling in the distance."

"Really?"

When I was turned upside down, nothing happened.

If I had been a little late, I could have been buried in the Void without being harmed.

"And... I didn't notice it earlier because I was shocked, but there's a new class called Void Archer that has been added to the class evolution."

"Void Archer?"

"Yes. It shines much brighter compared to other classes."

A shining class?

Ariel, who was listening from the side, asked.

"What color does it shine?"

"Gold."

"Unique... class."

"Oh. Unique, you say? Is this it?"

"Yes. It seems you obtained it by witnessing the Void. Void Archer... originally, they say not to get involved with the Void."

"Why?"

"They say if you get involved with it, you might disappear without a trace at any time."

"I see."

Yoon Sae-ah, who was initially excited about the Unique class, couldn't hide her disappointment at Ariel's words.

"Then I guess I should give up."

"But it would be a shame to give up the title of Unique. The information about the Void is just a rumor. It's better to choose what you want if you want power."

"Really? Hmm... I need to think about it."

An unexpected class obtained through the Void Veil.

Yoon Sae-ah decided to think a little more about whether to change to this class.

Meanwhile, Sung JiHan gestured to Akari and said,

"Shall we go up and start the broadcast?"

* * *

"We've been attacked."

Sung JiHan's channel, which now has millions of subscribers.

As soon as the word "attack" appeared in the title of the live broadcast video, the waves of reaction began to rise.

- Wait, Sung JiHan was attacked?

- Huh? What kind of attack all of a sudden?

- I heard there was a commotion at the Sword Palace underground mart earlier?

- Sung JiHan fell from a penthouse, they said.

- Huh?? Why did he fall? Is he alive?

- He's alive, so the channel is still running, lol. It seems like he's trying to go down quickly.

Rumors of the incident were already spreading.

People were eagerly waiting for Sung JiHan to start the broadcast.

And soon, the broadcast began.

- Huh? Who is that?

- I've never seen that woman before.

Viewers were puzzled.

There was a woman sitting in the center of the screen with a tense expression.

And Sung JiHan was standing with his arms crossed at the edge of the screen.

- Could it be his girlfriend?

- He rejected Sophia and is with that woman...? No way, right? Haha.

- That person! She's a Japanese ninja otaku.

- Wow, she's the one who attacked Sung JiHan last time?

- Yeah, she was quite famous in Japan. After she broke Sung JiHan, she stopped broadcasting.

As the number of viewers watching the live broadcast exceeded 100,000, many people knew about Akari's identity.

Were the two of them not enemies?

Why suddenly appearing on a broadcast?

Around the time when people were curious.

[I am Kato Akari....]

She opened her mouth.

-Is this the real deal? Seems legit.

-I should turn on the translation function.

At first, the viewers didn't pay much attention.

"Today, I have come to reveal everything about the vile woman, Ito Shizuru, who is dominating Japan...."

Starting with those words.

She exposed everything she knew on the broadcast.

Sometimes rambling, but revealing all the information about Ito Shizuru.

The viewers were shocked.

-Wow... This isn't breaking news?

-The brainwashed killer, controlling the players' bodies too? Who is she, a god?

-The editing is a joke, can't they do anything right?

-Is this just Akari sucking up to someone?

-Even though it's like that, it's still a big deal.

[And...]

The broadcast time had already passed 30 minutes, but Akari didn't stop talking.

That's how much Ito Shizuru's crimes overflowed.

-How can we believe this? Is Akari being threatened and just saying whatever? lol

-What are you saying? Isn't it strange that she's in Korea in the first place? lol

-Why is a Japanese person in Penthouse? lol

Some people said that Akari's revelations were a collaboration with Sung JiHan.

But since it was an unbelievable story, they were being refuted by the viewers.

[And there... Ah. Ahhh...!]

While Akari was talking for a long time.

Suddenly, she grabbed her head.

"This... crazy woman, how far is she going to talk...!"

And then, a different voice came out.

Akari's face started to twist in a grotesque way.

From her original appearance, her face was transforming into the former goddess-like beauty, Shizuru.

But with half of her original face mixed in, it was no different from a monster.

-What the hell is that?

-Ugh, what is that?

-Ah, damn it. I can't even watch horror movies, why did I turn on the broadcast?

"Die!"

Shizuru's doppelganger, trying to stop Akari's revelations.

She tried to take control of her body and attempt suicide.

"She's still here."

Sung JiHan grabbed Akari's head.

The strange energy that wasn't there when he looked earlier was hidden in her mind.

"Here it is."

Shhhhh....

When Sung JiHan extracted that energy, smoke rose from Akari's head.

[Kyaaaah...!]

Then, with a scream.

Akari's distorted face returned to normal.

Because of the commotion earlier, she was continuously sweating.

"...Did you see it? Everyone."

She resumed her revelations.

After more than two hours of broadcasting.

"If you remember anything, I will tell you again."

Akari's revelations were over.

But the aftermath of this broadcast was just beginning.

At the Shizuru Mansion in Tokyo, people were already gathering to see it after the address was revealed on the broadcast.

"Yes. Yes, Prime Minister. No, it's not me. Do you trust me? It's Akari's one-sided argument."

"Why would I become a murderous teacher? Did the chairman see me as that kind of person?"

Shizuru was overwhelmed with incoming calls.

If she was worried last time,

This time, the purpose of the call was to confirm the truth.

She frowned as she checked the list of callers, furrowing her brow.

"Only the people whose infatuation effect has diminished are calling. I need to meet them and strengthen it even more..."

But for that, she needed Akashi's page.

She thought about Akari, who had exposed the existence of SZ Corporation.

"A decoy. She's really useless. Can't even commit suicide?"

Instead of wasting time making crazy noises, she should hurry up and commit suicide.

If she gets suppressed by Sung JiHan, what can she do if she keeps running her mouth?

"Shizuru, are you okay?"

"...Yes, Ryuhei."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

She looked at the Sword King, who was looking at her with worried eyes, and blinked.

Even though he witnessed the exposure of herself and Akari.

The Sword King, who always supported her, was reliable.

"Yes... As long as I have the Sword King in my grasp."

In the Japanese national team, the position of the Sword King is absolute.

As long as he firmly supports Shizuru, even if her current position is slightly shaken, it will not be overturned.

"Ryuhei, I... It's difficult..."

She hugged herself in the Sword King's arms, with a face that seemed like she was about to cry.

"I did it for the sake of the country..."

"I'm here by your side."

"That's right... You'll stay with me, right?"

Shizuru shed tears and trembled, but her eyes were deeper than usual.

* * *

Meanwhile, at the BattleNet Center.

Kim Dong-woo, the leader of the National Warrior Team, was contemplating how to greet Sung JiHan.

"He's an annoying guy... But in this world, strength is everything, so I have to show it."

Having been overwhelmingly defeated by Sung JiHan, he was planning to smoothly integrate him into the national representative warrior team without causing any more trouble.

"As expected, what brings men together tightly is alcohol and women, right?"

Kim Dong-woo thought so as if it were common sense.

"Coach, would it be okay to have a welcome party for Sung JiHan?"

"A welcome party...? Wasn't there a commotion over there? Is it okay?"

"Well, in such a situation, wouldn't a welcome party be necessary?"

"Hmm. Alright. But, you're not inviting outsiders, right?"

Kim Dong-woo chuckled and clapped his hands at the coach's concern.

"Oh, outsiders? We just want to have a congratulatory party among ourselves."

"Hmm... I hope it goes well without causing any trouble."

"Thank you."

After receiving permission from Coach No Young-jun, Kim Dong-woo immediately called an outsider.

"Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?"

[Huh? Oppa, it's a weekday tomorrow. I have to do the news.]

"We're planning a congratulatory party for Sung JiHan. Can you bring some friends?"

"Oh! Really?! Sung JiHan is really coming?"

"Uh, yeah. So if you come alone, I'll cut you off at the entrance. Bring a lot of people."

"Oh my... Of course. If Sung JiHan is coming, everyone would want to see him, right?"

Sung JiHan's popularity in South Korea was overwhelming since the Sword King.

If they could meet him, even top celebrities would be envious.

"I'll get to see some new faces."

Kim Dong-woo thought with a satisfied smile.

"That guy, it seems like he doesn't even have a girlfriend. I should arrange one for him."
