The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Whirrr!

The phoenix's white flames instantly engulfed Akari.

True to its nature as a phoenix, the flames were intensely fierce, becoming even more powerful when thrown.

-I won!!

-Is that person really dead?

-Did Sung JiHan win against Diamond? Or Silver?

-This is insane; even when watching from a shared perspective, I can't understand how they won.

-When their arm was cut off, they screamed with genuine pain... Phew, luckily...

Even though the viewers were sharing the perspective with Sung JiHan.

They couldn't understand how the situation had turned out this way.

The battle had progressed so quickly that it was impossible for ordinary people to properly grasp what was happening.

They would have to watch it in slow motion after the broadcast ended to barely understand how the battle unfolded.

-But... wasn't this a live broadcast of a murder case?

-It was self-defense, not murder.

-Still, they killed someone. This could lead to a national conflict, couldn't it?

-So should Sung JiHan have died instead? Or should only their limbs have been cut off and their torso transported to Japan?

-For real, we should protest to Japan about this.

-No need to go all out... I'm worried about going to court for no reason...

Meanwhile, in reality rather than on BattleNet, as Akari was engulfed in flames, the viewers were engaged in a heated debate about Sung JiHan's actions.

It was impressive that they had defeated Diamond with Silver.

However, since this wasn't a game but something that happened in reality, it seemed to have the potential to become a legal issue.

But...

"She's not dead."

While the viewers believed that Akari had already died, Sung JiHan saw through the fact that she was stubbornly holding on to her lifeline within the white flames.

"If only it wasn't a tutorial's golden rule, I could have ended it with a wall-breaking explosion."

Stats like power and force were relatively free in the tutorial's golden rule, but even in a BattleNet game, they couldn't fully exert their strength.

Using the Rising Martial Arts of the Nameless was even more difficult. It was only possible because of the Eclipse Shadow Sword.

[Haah... Haah...]

Thud, thud.

Within the white flames, a black silhouette rose.

"How... is this possible..."

And when Akari's voice, deeply submerged, flowed out from there, the viewers were astonished.

-Oh shit, curses are coming out.

-Can she still live after taking that hit?

-As expected of a Diamond with no restraints... Impressive.

-Isn't this dangerous for Sung JiHan?

-While that person is still out of their senses, they should run away...

At that moment.

Bang! Bang!

"Sung JiHan, please dodge!"

"From now on, we'll take care of it!"

With the sound of gunfire, the special forces of the National Police Agency appeared.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!

Without any hesitation, the special forces began shooting towards where Akari was.

When powerful players caused a disturbance, the damage they inflicted was beyond imagination, so there was no room for the special forces to hesitate in their actions against them.

No matter how skilled the players were, modern firearms were powerful.

If they were subjected to concentrated gunfire like this, even the strongest players would find it difficult to survive...

"The opponent is tough."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Akari's body became transparent, and the bullets passed right through her.

It was a unique skill that all assassins possessed, called 영체화 (Spiritualization).

"What the heck? She suddenly became a ghost."

"All assassins can use that."

"That's cheating. But why doesn't Sung JiHan use it when fighting Akari?"

"If he uses it, his stats will significantly decrease. Plus, Sung JiHan can also use aura, so it would actually put him at a disadvantage."

"I see. Wait, but... she's flying away?"

Shooooo-

Akari's spiritual form floated up into the air, evading the concentrated gunfire.

The Amhonwaryu that had been swirling around and restraining Akari had shrunk in size, allowing her to regain her freedom.

"If I had a little more strength, it would have been better. What a shame."

If she had held onto Akari a little longer with Amhonwaryu, she could have definitely taken her down.

This is as far as I can go with Silver's power.

Sung JiHan made his arm fall towards the direction where only the Amgeom remained after Amhonwaryu disappeared.

And then...

Swoosh!

The Amgeom stuck to Sung JiHan's empty arm, and his left arm began to regenerate rapidly.

The surrounding police special forces watched in awe as Sung JiHan's hand was being created in a strange spectacle.

"Hmm. You move well."

Although his arm was covered in pitch black from the elbow to the fingertips, his left hand was perfectly fine.

[Heh... The owner's crazy idea actually became a reality. Who knew he could cut off his own arm.]

"That was the best option at the time."

In that situation earlier, there was no way to stop Akari's attack.

It was a predicted outcome that her arm would be severed by Akari's sword strike.

If her enemy's sword had cut her, the Gwigamigui would have infused the severed area, causing Amgeom Eclipse's Amhonwaryu to quickly lose its power.

[But if the fusion of the sword and arm hadn't been properly done, she would have lost her entire body. Humans aren't sensitive to physical loss because they can regenerate.]

"We can regenerate. There are plenty of good supporters in Korea."

Sung JiHan casually remarked.

Even in his previous life, he had lived as a warrior and had been cut and lost body parts countless times.

Now, crying over losing one arm would be pointless, considering the brutal battlefields he had experienced since his past life.

"But..."

Sung JiHan pulled out the Bonghwangshi that was stuck in the ground with his right hand and looked up at the sky.

He didn't run away, nor did he charge in recklessly.

Akari was just floating aimlessly, unable to find an opening.

"She's still not gone?"

His eyes gleamed ominously, like a predator targeting its prey.

"The hunt for diamonds begins again."

Mumyongshingong (Nameless Divine Technique)

Bobupbo (Walking Law Step)

Seomcheonroebob (Flashing Thunder Step)

When Akari flew towards Sung JiHan like an arrow, her face became filled with frustration.

"Are there really humans like that..."

Just a moment ago, she was on the verge of death.

She barely survived the attack because the ninja suit she was wearing was an SS-grade equipment, and she was able to use all of Daiyari's abilities.

If even one thing had gone wrong, she would have died in agonizing pain.

"Until the Gold Restriction is activated again... 1 minute."

She still had some strength left.

She was ready to face Sung JiHan head-on.

Objectively speaking, she would still have the advantage in a battle.

But...

"Can I subdue him within a minute?"

I had no confidence.

Furthermore, as I looked into Sung JiHan's eyes, filled with a sense of impending doom...

[.......]

I was scared.

He was the real deal.

If I couldn't subdue him within a minute...

So, when the tutorial's golden restriction is lifted, Sung JiHan will gain the upper hand against me.

No, it's not about gaining the upper hand... I'll die.

Akari trembled.

She had died countless times on BattleNet, but that was just a game.

Death in real life was a completely different matter.

Until now, she never thought she would die, so she believed she could overcome the fear of death.

But facing Sung JiHan's true aura, she realized that her thoughts were just delusions.

"I..."

Sizzle!

Suddenly, Sung JiHan's sword, which had approached within arm's reach, grazed her face.

With the power of the unleashed Diamond, she could easily dodge and counterattack.

However, Akari only focused on avoiding the sword.

She couldn't think of counterattacking.

"...I can't win."

The feeling of defeat had already deeply settled in her heart.

The only reason Akari stayed here was because of the order given by her lord, Ito Shizuru, sacrificing even her own clone.

At that moment.

[Akari. It's over now. Leave the battlefield.]

Ito Shizuru's voice echoed in her ears.

It was like a savior's voice, giving her a reason not to run away.

[Understood. I'm sorry... my lord.]

Akari turned her back as if she had been waiting.

And she used the remaining one minute of power she had to desperately escape.

Whoosh!

With a gust of wind, Akari disappeared in an instant.

The escape using the power of the unleashed Diamond was no different from the speed of light.

***

"Ha. You're fast."

Since there was already a huge difference in stats from the beginning, Sung JiHan couldn't keep up and could only taste defeat.

"Well, it's a shame, everyone."

-Wow, this is crazy, lol.

-Is it true that the Diamond chick ran away? Lolololol.

-K-Silver's class is so majestic...

-What's K-Silver? Lololol. If all the Silvers in Korea are at that level, then Korea has already conquered the world.

-Wow... I want to donate, but I only have a million won in my bank account...ㅠㅠ

-The limit is 10,000 GP, bro ㅠㅠ

The chat window scrolled rapidly.

If the minimum donation limit wasn't ten million won, it would have been flooded with donation messages due to the excitement of the people.

"Just having your support is enough. Instead, I opened the Akashi page today."

Sung JiHan took out the three Akashi pages that he had put in his inventory.

-Wow... how much did you earn today?? ㄷㄷㄷ

-Ahahaha, that's a different story, right? You don't even need to accept those small donations!!

-But Japanese people are so persistent. If you used three Akashi pages... how much money did you spend?

- Wow, I'm getting goosebumps.

- Ah, but I really want to see the goddess again...ㅜㅜ

- Seriously, she's so beautiful.

- Sigh... I should rewatch the broadcast...

Viewers who couldn't forget the face of Ito Shizuru that they briefly saw.

Thanks to Sung JiHan's timely use of the Memory Manipulation, otherwise all the viewers would have become her slaves.

"If the enchanting power still remains in the video, I should delete it."

Sung JiHan thought so and looked at the Archive page she took out.

Two out of the three pages had been used, so the golden color had faded a lot.

But the one that Takeba hadn't used yet emitted a brilliant golden light.

"Thanks to Takeba, at least one is intact."

- Takeba did a good job, lol.

- Takeba's gift was an exchange? I want to experience that too... to feel like I'm meeting the goddess.

- These crazy bastards... do they think Sung JiHan should go to Japan?

- Hey, even if he goes through that, it's not a big deal. We're the ones with the problem, lol.

She had been trying to obtain the Archive page anyway.

It worked out well since she could get it for free.

Although she couldn't kill Akari, she was still satisfied with the loot she obtained.

[★☆Takeba☆★ has sponsored 10,000GP.]

[Sung Sang... Tasukette....]

Suddenly, a sponsorship message appeared on the channel.

- ?? What's this all of a sudden?

- Come to think of it, is Takeba still inside?

- That guy typed "Tasukette" in Korean, lol.

- Hey, localization is too good, lol.

- What does "Tasukette" mean?

- It means "save me."

Sung JiHan chuckled as she read the message.

She didn't know what chaos was happening inside the cafe.

It seemed that Takeba was in a situation where he couldn't escape.

"I should capture him as a prisoner."

Whoosh!

Sung JiHan flew back to the cafe and was able to find Takeba lying among the debris of the collapsed building.

With his lower body pinned down, he awkwardly smiled at Sung JiHan while holding his phone.

"Heh. Hehe... Sung Sang."

"It's not too serious."

"Ah... It's not serious. It hurts... I can't feel my lower body..."

"As long as you're not dead, it's fine."

Sung JiHan lifted the debris with force and pulled out Takeba.

"Alright, everyone. Since we've captured Takeba as well, today's broadcast will end here."

With those words, she ended the live stream.

* * *

That day's broadcast.

Not only in Korea, but also in Japan...

And beyond that, it captured the attention of the world.

Within just 24 hours, the video that surpassed 10 million views.

"...Shizuru. What is this broadcast?"

And among those 10 million viewers.

The King of the Sword, Ito Ryuhei, who resides in Tokyo, was also included.
