The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 131

"Since there's no Takehada, it's inconvenient."

Itou Shizuru, who had taken over Akari's body, furrowed her brow as she unpacked her luggage.

Because Takehada Kazuo was detained under the leadership of the Korean government due to the previous incident and was in the midst of a court trial, there was no one to assist her.

Thunk-

As Akari's hand paused while organizing her belongings, Itou Shizuru's expression became even more furrowed.

"Again."

When she had made a regular person's body into a vessel, this didn't happen. But this time, since she had made Daiyager's body into a vessel, the control was abruptly cut off.

Especially when she moved further away from Tokyo, where her main body was, the phenomenon worsened.

"Akari's ego must have disappeared... but still, I should be careful just in case."

If that's the case, I should have just sent Gwangwang to secretly kidnap him.

Shizuru regretted it for a moment, but quickly changed her mind.

"No. If something goes wrong and the fascination is released, it won't be good."

When she had put the fascination on Gwangwang, the most troublesome thing was his infatuation.

Approaching him was easy in itself.

Because he liked women so much.

But maintaining the fascination was another problem.

"It's almost halfway released just by going home."

The infatuation that kept trying to release when he saw his daughter's face.

Shizuru was able to obtain Gwangwang through long-term work without succumbing to it.

But Yoon Sae-ah decided that she must leave him in Korea.

If they went to Japan together, even if something happened between them when the fascination was released, no one would know.

"If I take her to Japan this time, I should make sure they don't meet as much as possible."

It would be enough to have her stay in a safe house in a distant area from Tokyo.

She set up her laptop in the office and thought about Yoon Sae-ah.

"She often went to the underground mart to shop."

Compared to Sung JiHan, who rarely left the penthouse, Yoon Sae-ah did come out frequently.

The reason for going out was mainly to buy side dishes.

The time was between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.

"She should be at the mart during that time."

The mart wasn't small, so it wouldn't be easy to run into Yoon Sae-ah.

Anyway, Yoon Sae-ah would be able to succeed in fascination just by making eye contact, unlike Sung JiHan.

"The way back..."

Her thoughts were roughly organized.

Now the remaining plan was to check the route to return to Japan with her.

As she typed on the keyboard for a while.

Thunk-

Seeing her finger stop, she bit her lip tightly.

"...I should go quickly."

It seemed that her body, for some reason, couldn't stay for long with this vessel.

* * *

The day after the survival game ended.

"Looks like I won't be caught up in another survival game right away."

Sung JiHan swallowed his regret as he cleared the invaded map he had played before.

He wanted to quickly obtain the World Tree's leaf that was completely engraved on his body.

Since the four game modes were randomly assigned, the chances of consecutive survival games were low.

"My level is 77..."

The leveling speed was dazzling.

Leveling up at least once a day.

At this rate, it seemed possible to participate in the promotion match this month.

"But the problem is the soul."

The stat obtained at level 72, Mu Hon.

I invested every stat point I received when leveling up to reach a value of 104.

But today, after leveling up and investing stat points, the value didn't increase to 105 and stopped.

"It's similar to what happened when I increased my strength in my previous life."

In my previous life, just like with strength, the stat points didn't immediately increase, and I had to accumulate my own training to make them go up.

This time, my strength increased steadily as I received points, but after the revamp with Mu Hon, it stopped at 105 after reaching 104.

"...I expected this."

The power of the stars, Mu Hon.

It's been a few days since I obtained Mu Hon, but Sung JiHan hasn't been able to fully utilize this power yet.

Although it's not easy to handle strength or force, Mu Hon is a much higher-dimensional power than before, so Sung JiHan thought that Mu Hon would eventually stop increasing like strength did.

"But it was faster than I thought."

In the end, is training the only answer?

Sung JiHan arrived at the training room, swallowing his regret.

"Ugh..."

There, he met Yoon SeA, who was exercising.

Yoon SeA had already obtained the stat perseverance, but she didn't stop her strength training and put down the barbell when she saw Sung JiHan.

"Ha... I'm dying... Uncle. Have you finished preparing for the training camp tomorrow?"

"Well, it's near my house. What do I need to prepare?"

"You should bring clothes. We're going to stay overnight."

"Fine. Just throw some clothes in."

"Hmm... Should I pack them cheaply?"

"Hey, am I a kid?"

The conversation seemed to have reversed the roles of niece and uncle for a moment.

Yoon SeA, who was exercising and occasionally glancing at Sung JiHan, brought up the main topic.

"Uncle, by the way... Can I invite the sisters when you're not around?"

"Sisters... Who are they?"

"The guild sisters! Ha Yeon unni and Ga Young unni."

"Huh, when did you become so close with them?"

"I became close with Ga Young unni because we exercise together as fitness enthusiasts. And I get along well with Ha Yeon unni through conversations..."

You get along well with Ha Yeon?

Sung JiHan's expression stiffened slightly.

"You, did you learn gambling from Ha Yeon?"

"Ah, no! No, why would you think that...? Don't you think you're thinking of Ha Yeon unni in the wrong way? She's so capable and smart! She may not be good at predicting outcomes, but..."

"You. Don't really predict outcomes. You earned a lot."

"Okay, I got it. I won't do it, I won't do it! I'm busy these days with growing my own channel."

Sung JiHan furrowed his brows as he watched Yoon SeA, who was clapping her hands proudly.

This seems suspicious.

"...Well. Fine. If the two of them come, they're welcome."

"Really? Okay, got it. Hehe."

"But now that I think about it, you're the landlord. You don't need my permission."

"Oh. Is that so? But I thought I should ask you, Uncle."

After answering Yoon SeA, Sung JiHan replied to Ariel in his mind.

"Ariel. Listen to what Ha Yeon has to say about gambling when she's at home."

[Master. Can't you trust SeA?]

"Yeah. It's suspicious because she's talking too much."

[Understood.]

He silently requested Ariel.

"Okay. Since I've received permission from my uncle, I'll go shopping and come back."

"Sure."

"And... I'm going to buy some alcohol?!"

"Drink up. You're an adult too."

"Is that so? Hehe."

With a bright smile, Yoon Sae-ah walked out of the training room, and Sung JiHan chuckled as if he couldn't believe it.

Is it such an exciting thing?

"Well, I used to invite a lot of friends before, but I haven't had the opportunity lately."

When the Swordmaster slaughtered the Korean national team on August 15th, all the friends scattered.

While Sung JiHan's stock was rising again, he occasionally received contact from friends who had cut ties with him.

But Yoon Sae-ah cut off all ties with these people without hesitation.

"It's better to have no relationship with those kinds of friends."

Rather than holding onto old friendships, it's better to make new ones.

The two people she became close with in the guild this time were also good people.

Sung JiHan hoped that they would have a good relationship with each other.

However.

"Ariel, you have to be vigilant about gambling."

"Got it!"

"The problem is Ha Yoon. Keep an eye on her."

"...Isn't it too much to be so wary of the guild master? But why did you give her such an important role?"

"Other than that, she's a capable person. Gambling is the problem."

The caution towards Ha Yoon, who was called Zero in her previous life, was not excessive no matter how much it was emphasized.

"Shall we start monitoring now?"

"From now on?"

"Maybe while shopping and talking on the phone, something might come up."

"That's going too far. Besides, that's an invasion of privacy."

"You never know, right? And if it's not about gambling, there's no need to let her know."

"...Well, if that's the case."

After thinking for a moment, Sung JiHan nodded.

If his niece were to become friends with a gambling addict and get involved in predicting the outcome of a match, he wouldn't even have a chance to see his sister in the afterlife.

"I have to stop it now."

Sung JiHan secretly sent Ariel to secretly follow Yoon Sae-ah.

* * *

=Sung JiHan will enter the BattleNet Center tomorrow. National team coach No Young-jun expressed his expectations, saying that Sung JiHan is an amazing player and that he will assign him a suitable role through training during the training camp...

Slurp!

Shizuru was eating cup ramen while watching the TV news.

The Korean news channel was extensively reporting on Sung JiHan's entry into the BattleNet Center.

"Now he must be as popular as the former Swordmaster."

Even though the popularity of BattleNet is absolute, the media was going crazy over one player entering the BattleNet Center.

Compared to when he came to Korea last time, Shizuru could clearly feel that Sung JiHan's status had skyrocketed.

"What if I join in this situation..."

Chuckle!

She smiled as if she was enjoying herself.

She didn't have any particular feelings about the country of Korea.

In fact, she used to be a fan of Korean idols, so she used to learn Korean until she became proficient.

But...

"Why are all the players I want here?"

What can you do when exceptional players keep coming out of Korea?

Especially, both the Swordmaster and Sung JiHan would greatly complement the weaknesses that have been evaluated in the Warrior class in Japan.

If these two players were to shine in the Japanese national team, they would easily win the World Champions League.

"Yoon Sae-ah seems promising too."

She imagined a scene where Japanese was spoken on Channel 0 of BattleNet.

When that day comes, all the hardships she has gone through will feel truly rewarding.

"That's beside the point... Sung JiHan won't be here starting tomorrow."

Shizuru threw the empty cup ramen into the sink and fell deep in thought.

Surely they wouldn't go as far as having Yoon SaeA stay in the same dormitory?

"If Yoon SaeA is left alone... it would be the perfect opportunity during the dormitory period."

Shizuru made up her mind not to miss this opportunity and decided to take another look at the structure of the underground mart.

And so, as she descended into the mart...

"Huh?"

There, she was able to spot Yoon SaeA, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.

"Unnie~ What alcohol should I buy? Ah, should I buy this much?"

With the cart filled with food, she was talking on the phone.

Her carefree manner of indiscriminately putting alcohol of all kinds into the cart was truly innocent.

"Ah... you really need alcohol for the analysis lecture? Does drinking alcohol help with analysis? As expected, it's like honey..."

She seems to be in a good mood.

Shizuru smiled at Yoon SaeA as if she was genuinely happy to see her.

"From now on, I'll make you feel even better. Our daughter~"

Yoon SaeA was already a daughter inside her.

Shizuru quickly approached her, pulling the cart.

To use the supporting gift, 'Editing,' she had to touch it.

"Beer..."

As Shizuru pretended to approach the beer behind Yoon SaeA.

"Oops."

As if her foot slipped, she lightly touched Yoon SaeA's arm while pretending.

To anyone, it could only be seen as a mere accident.

"It's too easy."

But because of that touch, the supporting gift 'Editing' activated and the abnormal status editing window for Yoon SaeA opened.

Inside it, she quickly added enchantment and obedience.

"Now, where should I give her orders?"

Should she give her orders now?

Shizuru thought it was all over, but...

Zap!

Electricity surged from the crown-shaped pattern engraved on the back of Yoon SaeA's hand.

[The seal of lightning resists mental contamination.]

[Enchantment has not fully taken hold.]

[Obedience has not fully taken hold.]

"Huh? What's this now?"

Shizuru furrowed her brows as she suddenly received a message.

The seal of lightning?

What is this resistance?

"...Huh? You..."

When Yoon SaeA looked at her in surprise.

"This won't work."

Shizuru tried to touch her hand again.

If enchantment and obedience haven't fully taken hold.

She just needs to touch her again and keep editing until it works.

But her attempt was...

Ssskkk!

Blocked by a black hand that emerged from the ground.

"You... what are you?"

Soon.

Arielle, who had been secretly following Yoon SaeA, emerged from the ground.
