The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 25

* * *

Office of the Korean branch of a Japanese trading company, located next to the Sword Palace building.

Although the office is usually tightly closed with an iron gate, it is actually being used as the Korean branch of the Sung JiHan Defense Force.

The reason why the Sung JiHan Defense Force branch was established next to the Sword Palace was simple.

To recruit Sword King Yoon SeJin.

Therefore, this office, which has become useless now, was transformed into the personal space of the recruitment manager, Takeba Kazuo.

A large desk with 8 neatly arranged monitors.

Takeba quickly finished eating the hamburger piled on top of it and watched Sung JiHan's achievements with a dissatisfied look.

"Sung Sang. If he already shows such potential... there might be offers from other countries, not just Korea."

The sight of Sung JiHan single-handedly sweeping away zombies.

No matter how much of a bronze he is, it was a scene that showed his future value is different from that of ordinary players.

Although he hasn't been active in the league for long and hasn't received much attention.

If such ridiculous scenes continue to be staged, it was certain that the surroundings would become noisy before he even promoted to silver.

"But before that, I have to somehow fill up Sung Sang..."

Takeba furrowed his brow.

If it was just a matter of money, the Sung JiHan Defense Force wouldn't have been left behind.

Sung JiHan was not the type that could be recruited just with money.

To transfer him to Japan, 'special' means were needed.

And for that...

"I need approval from the higher-ups."

However, even with Takeba's appeal, the conservative upper echelons of the Sung JiHan Defense Force did not give their approval.

There had to be a solid basis for persuading the higher-ups.

"That's the status window."

By adding the special status window data that clearly shows something remarkable to Sung JiHan's performance, it would be possible to persuade the upper echelons of the Sung JiHan Defense Force.

Chop-chop-

Takeba sipped his cola through a straw and calmly began to plan.

"Yes... Clearly, the defense map of the bronze was to protect the crystal."

The crystal floating in the center of the top lane.

Protecting it was the top priority of the defense map.

And this could also be achieved by teammates destroying it.

Tap. Tatatatap!

Takeba quickly put down the food and started typing on the keyboard.

One of the 8 monitors that were only focused on Sung JiHan showed someone else.

['Sword King 898' has entered the channel 'GyuGyuHyuk'.]

Takeba's alternate account.

'Sword King 898' entered the channel of the magician Kim GyuHyuk.

-Kim GyuHyuk! I can't stand seeing that Sung JiHan guy, who defied the Sword King, doing so well!

Takeba started his manipulation.

* * *

"Ha. This crazy guy... He's so damn strong."

Kim GyuHyuk muttered as he watched Sung JiHan, who was single-handedly taking on countless enemies.

Even though they were both bronze, what the hell was that?

"This game is a fucking mess, the balance is shit..."

Kim GyuHyuk grumbled like that and turned his gaze away.

He didn't want to see that disgusting human's impressive performance anymore.

"Ugh... It's beautiful... So beautiful!"

Kim GyuHyuk looked at BJ GeumBit, who was holding his hands together next to him, with a creepy expression.

He turned his back from the front of the top lane and slowly walked towards the crystal.

"Ha... When will this end."

At that time, he simply disliked Sung JiHan and had no other thoughts.

[Sword King 898 has sponsored 100GP.]

[Kim GyuHyuk! Please accept our Sword King's mission!]

But suddenly, on his channel, which had less than 10 viewers and was just left open, a sponsorship message appeared.

[Sword King 898 has sent a viewer mission.]

[Destroy the crystal and prevent Sung JiHan from getting first place.]

Reward: GP 50,000

Until the 50,000 GP mission appears.

Kim Gyuhyuk's footsteps stopped.

'...50,000?'

50,000 GP.

50 million won in Korean currency.

Just to break one crystal, he's spending 50 million won?

That's not all.

"-898, is this where you marked the coordinates?"

-Kiya~ As expected of 898. Your distribution skills are amazing.

-We can't just leave Sung JiHan running wild like that.

-I will also support this mission!

In his channel, which was almost like a blackout, a message from the 검왕가 (Geomwangga) appeared.

The GP invested in the mission began to increase little by little.

52,000, 53,000...

When it reached 55,000 in the end, Kim Gyuhyuk's eyes shook uncontrollably.

"I knew the 검왕가 guys were crazy, but... this is something else."

[검왕가 898 has sponsored 300 GP.]

[Kim Gyuhyuk, please act quickly! If another tower collapses, Sung JiHan will automatically achieve first place!]

At the urging of 검왕가 898, Kim Gyuhyuk smiled bitterly.

"This guy really hates Sung JiHan."

"This time, even if I'm last, I won't use any skills..."

"Of course I'll call! Just thinking about using skills because of that bastard..."

"Yeah. I'll make up for the losses with this GP!"

55,000 GP was enough to distort past memories.

Kim Gyuhyuk, whose eyes had gone blank, immediately took action.

[검왕luv124 has sponsored 100 GP.]

"Before breaking the crystal, please curse Sung JiHan like crazy through voice chat. I can't stand seeing that bastard acting all high and mighty."

Kim Gyuhyuk looked at Sung JiHan, who was far away, and nodded.

What will happen to me over there?

"Kukukukuk."

The feeling of being intimidated by Sung JiHan when he was first summoned was completely gone.

Kim Gyuhyuk approached the crystal with excitement.

And when the crystal came within the range of his magic.

He turned on voice chat.

"Sung JiHan, you motherless bastard."

---

"What's this?"

Sung JiHan, who suddenly heard a barrage of curses, was more bewildered than angry.

Troller Kim Gyuhyuk.

He was behaving well just a moment ago, but now?

"He's picking a fight at the moment I'm about to achieve 1,000 kills."

The current number of kills achieved was 920.

Why is he doing this at such an important moment when I'm about to see the next quest?

As the game was about to end, is he trying to get revenge for what happened last time?

"For now, let's ignore him."

Since it won't take long to achieve 80 kills, there was no need to pay attention to those curses.

As Sung JiHan was about to turn off voice chat to focus on killing zombies again.

Kim Gyuhyuk's curses came flying like a machine gun.

"Are you happy scamming a high school student? No, isn't it because your dad left your mom and went to Japan to play with you?"

Starting with that, Kim Gyuhyuk continued to curse, intertwining Yoon Sae-ah and Sung JiHan.

Whether he predicted that Sung JiHan would try to turn off the chat or not.

"Did the 검왕가 go to Japan because they were shocked to see you guys fooling around? Dirty bastards~ Kikik."

Kim Gyuhyuk poured out curses almost like he was rapping.

Although no more curses came out after Sung JiHan turned off voice chat.

He was suddenly in a state of immobility.

"...."

It's fine for him to curse at himself.

After all, he's just a target of curses. He's heard them countless times in his past life.

He had long since learned to ignore criticism.

However,

Messing with my nephew was a completely different issue.

And involving myself in it, making dirty remarks was even worse.

"......"

I remembered Yoon Se-ah's final moments that I wanted to forget.

The day when Geomwang slaughtered the Korean representative players and made Korea the last place in the league.

Yoon Se-ah fell victim to the terror of Geomwang.

Her face was torn apart by Geomwang, and she suffered injuries all over her body.

Even though she was the biggest victim of being abandoned by Geomwang.

Even though there was no fault on her part, either rationally or logically, in Geomwang trampling over Korea.

If a fanatic can make rational judgments, then they are not a fanatic.

'...She barely survived.'

Her torn face couldn't be restored with modern medicine.

To return to her original state, she needed care from a high-level supporter, but no supporters were willing to help her, as she was Geomwang's daughter.

However, after a month of hospital treatment, Yoon Se-ah was able to move her body.

She could stand and walk slowly.

And... her first action with her recovered body was...

'Suicide.'

Yoon Se-ah, with her unrecovered body, jumped out of the window.

There were many factors that led her to make such an extreme choice...

Sung JiHan came to mind.

The messages that she left behind on her smartphone after her suicide.

They were insulting messages left by Geomwang.

- We tore your face apart. Sung JiHan will abandon you too. Hehe. Hehehe.

- What will you do now that you can't roll around with that dirty body anymore?

After Geomwang terrorized Yoon Se-ah, she was bombarded with text messages while she was hospitalized.

What I just remembered was the least offensive one.

Most of the contents that were too dirty to remember were erased from my memory.

'...That became the final trigger for Se-ah, who was pushed to the extreme.'

And if Yoon Se-ah is watching this broadcast right now...

She would have heard those words too.

"The cooperative quest is not important."

Sung JiHan turned his back and looked at the tower.

The distance was quite far, but Sung JiHan's vision could capture every detail on top.

And he saw a sight that he hadn't expected to see there.

Kim Gyu-hyuk, who approached the crystal and created a fireball.

"Why did he suddenly curse?"

Was it because of the grudge from last time? Or was there someone instigating him... I don't know.

Whatever the cause was.

The conclusion is simple.

"I will kill that guy."

The distance is far.

The magician could easily destroy the crystal.

Just rushing like this won't get me to the top.

Simple bashing won't be enough time.

To narrow this distance, what is needed is...

"Mumyung Shingong (無名神功)."

A skill that hasn't reached level 30, an SSS-grade skill that I haven't mastered.

But because it was a martial art that I spent half of my life with, even if it's not in the skill window.

If I could gather all the power I have now.

I could imitate it.

Mumyung Shingong (無名神功).

Bobeop Step (法步步法).

Seomcheon Thunder Step (閃天雷步).

Zijijijik-

A white lightning surged from Sung JiHan's feet.

The approaching zombies that were coming towards Sung JiHan turned into ashes and disappeared.

The spell that pierces through the sky, the Thunderbolt of the Thousand Rivers.

However, Sung JiHan's feet, filled with electricity, felt heavy.

Could it be because there was no nameless martial art in the skill window?

Although he could raise his electric current, he couldn't turn himself into lightning.

"No."

Sung JiHan coldly suppressed the anger that had been welling up.

If it wasn't available in the skill window from the beginning, the electric current wouldn't have appeared.

There is clearly a way.

Zzzt-!

He tried to lift his unmovable foot with all his power.

Together with the tiles of the lower level.

The middle and upper levels reacted at the same time.

Due to his heightened senses, he could faintly detect movement.

Sung JiHan found a clue there.

"Nameless martial art... Wasn't it a martial art that only utilized the lower level?"

Until now, it was enough to use the skill through the lower level.

Sung JiHan physically realized his own speculation.

He completely pulled up his force.

Upper level, middle level, lower level.

The power of the Triple Thunderbolt gathered at once.

And in an instant, he felt his body becoming lighter.

This sensation was similar to when he used the skill before regression.

In this moment, Sung JiHan became certain.

"It's possible."

Krrrr!!

Sung JiHan's body transformed into light.

On the ground where he stood, a white current shot up high.

And soon.

Flash!

Lightning struck the tower.

* * *

[The Sword King Guild has sponsored 100GP.]

[Kim GyuHyuk. Hurry! Hurry and destroy it! Sung JiHan is coming soon!]

Kim GyuHyuk, who had been cursing in voice chat for a while, thought that he should finish the mission soon due to the viewers' sponsorship.

"What's the point of coming here? What the hell is he doing...?"

Honestly, since Sung JiHan was below the tower, he wasn't a concern.

"What are you doing!"

When BJ GeumBit, who had been filming Sung JiHan for a while, approached with a menacing look, Kim GyuHyuk decided that he had to clear the most important viewer mission.

"Hehe... Explode!"

Just as Kim GyuHyuk's pre-summoned fireball was about to fly away.

Boom!

Suddenly, his fireball exploded in mid-air.

"What, what is this!"

Thump. Thump...

Underneath the suddenly exploding fireball, a soccer ball was falling, charred and trembling.

It was obvious who the culprit was.

"Masid! You damn bastard!"

When Kim GyuHyuk shouted at Masid, he calmly extended his middle finger.

"You. Insult. A child."

Pretending not to understand Korean.
