The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 326

"Longinus is dead... I can't believe it. Can you show me their battle?"

"Explain why you told Sung JiHan about Enkidu."

Chi Yiik...!

From the Eastern Dagger, white and black sword energy simultaneously emitted light.

Even after splitting the Babel Tower with a single sword, they seemed relaxed.

Gilgamesh lowered his gaze while observing this.

"As expected of the Eastern Dagger... Is he the strongest?"

The five divine warriors.

Among them, the one with the greatest power was undoubtedly the Eastern Dagger.

When the divine warriors went on a hunt for the Holy See, the other divine warriors were not mentioned much in the universe.

Except for one.

The Eastern Dagger was known as the Cosmic Horse, reigning as a figure of terror.

Especially the Taegeukma Sword, an undefeated sword that has never been blocked.

Gilgamesh could handle the other martial arts of the Eastern Dagger, but when it came to the Taegeukma Sword, he had no confidence.

"Alright. Explain the reason."

There was no need to clash with the strongest warrior and cause conflict over this matter.

Gilgamesh cooperated willingly with the Eastern Dagger.

"I was just trying to awaken the third."

"The third warrior..."

"Yes. Have you ever seen them? Even once?"

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's words, the Eastern Dagger stroked their beard and thought for a moment.

The third warrior of the divine warriors.

Although Gilgamesh, the fifth, had been asleep for a considerable time, he still occasionally appeared when the divine warriors took their rest.

But the third warrior had never shown themselves even once.

"...No."

"I see. A warrior who never awakens. I had to awaken them."

"Even if it meant killing Longinus?"

"To be honest, I wanted Longinus to lose. But I didn't want them to be completely annihilated. In fact, I was certain that annihilation was impossible from the beginning."

"And you expect me to believe that?"

"Show me the battle scene. Then I'll make you understand."

Gilgamesh confidently spoke.

The Eastern Dagger glanced at them for a moment, then let go of their sword.

And then, the Eastern Dagger's sword disappeared into thin air.

Instead...

Ziiing...

In front of them, a screen appeared.

What played on the screen was the battle between Sung JiHan and Longinus.

Longinus used the Divine Spear of Annihilation on Sung JiHan, but was initially hindered by Enkidu.

And on the second attempt, it was blocked by the management of the Battle Net.

Gilgamesh casually opened his mouth as he watched the scene.

"In the end, luck was not on their side."

"If you didn't have Enkidu, that last moment wouldn't have come in the first place."

"I admit that."

Even though their spear was blocked, Longinus was annihilated when the destruction code was used against them by Sung JiHan.

Even though they were of the same kind, they calmly watched this scene with indifferent expressions.

Furthermore...

"To be defeated by someone other than the Holy See... Even if they were the weakest among the divine warriors, it's disappointing."

They showed contempt towards the defeated Longinus.

Because the Divine Spear of Annihilation was so powerful.

In fact, in terms of strength alone, Longinus was the weakest among the divine warriors.

If they were not allowed to use the Divine Spear of Annihilation by the gods, their achievements were always the lowest among the divine warriors.

"You're not the one to speak, who taught Enkidu."

"Hmm. I didn't have high expectations even though you told me. How could a human defeat the Holy See? But Longinus quickly showed his limits. It's a shame to waste the bloodline inherited from our ancestors."

And then, a blue flame blossomed.

"Stop and look. This is it."

Gilgamesh pointed at the fire with his hand.

"This is the power of the third spear."

"That fire?"

"Yes. And that fire is the true source of our immortality."

"It's related to immortality..."

Dong Bangsak paused the screen and looked at the blue flame.

Just blue in color, the flame didn't seem particularly special.

Dong Bangsak turned his gaze to the split Tower of Babel and spoke.

"I thought that the immortality and eternal life given by the gods were related to you."

"My power is something that the gods cannot fully execute. The source of eternal life that the gods promised you actually comes from that fire."

"Hmm..."

"When the blue flame blossomed from Longinus' body, he should have come back to life. No matter how you put it, even if he was 'annihilated.' But somehow, Sung JiHan... extinguished the fire."

Gilgamesh's eyes sank coldly.

Sung JiHan.

Since reading and writing the code, he had always been a presence that exceeded expectations.

But he didn't know that Sung JiHan could extinguish the blue flame.

"Could it be Sung JiHan? Is he a being related to the third spear..."

No matter how much he thought about it, he wasn't just a simple human.

While Gilgamesh was looking at the screen, questioning Sung JiHan's identity.

Whoosh.

Dong Bangsak paused the screen and opened his mouth.

"So, in the end, your intention was to defeat Longinus and bring out the blue flame. And through this, awaken the third spear?"

"That's right."

"Why go to such lengths to awaken the third spear?"

"That's..."

At that moment.

Kururur!

The entire ground began to shake violently.

On this star that was usually motionless, such a strong earthquake was rare.

When Gilgamesh felt the vibration, his eyes sparkled.

"Has he finally awakened...! Dong Bangsak, I will explain the reason later. For now, we must meet him!"

"If you're just fooling around, I'll cut your throat right away."

"Fine. Cut me down as much as you want!"

Gilgamesh stepped out through the crack in the tower.

Outside, in the distance.

A blue light soared into the sky.

That place was where the third spear was buried.

"There it is!"

Gilgamesh smiled with satisfaction.

Sung JiHan's actions were unexpected, but...

Once the third spear awakened, things would go back to the original plan.

Thinking that way, Gilgamesh flew at full speed.

"He still has quite a bit of power hidden."

Dong Bangsak, who was closely watching Gilgamesh's movements, followed closely behind.

They quickly arrived at the place where the light burst out.

On the ground, light was exploding like fireworks.

"Oh, third spear! Have you awakened?"

Gilgamesh shouted loudly as he looked at it, but...

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The blue light that soared into the sky couldn't rise any higher and fell towards the ground.

And.

Shuuuuu...

In the sky, a giant black hand emerges.

[Gilgamesh.]

From within, a gloomy voice spread.

[You've caused quite a commotion.]

"Mu Shin... How...! This is a violation of the contract!"

Gilgamesh shouted in disbelief upon hearing Mu Shin's voice.

"What you've touched takes precedence over our contract..."

The black hand struck the ground.

Thud!

Then, the blue light completely stopped.

The split and glowing earth fused back together.

The place where the third bell had fallen asleep returned to its original state.

"The third takes precedence over our contract..."

While Gilgamesh looked on with a desolate expression.

Sss...

From the crumbling black hand, Mu Shin's voice was heard.

[Sung JiHan... You've become a target for management. Dong Bang Sak.]

"Yes, my lord."

[As soon as he is released from management, you must kill Sung JiHan. Take out the Taegeuk Sword and completely annihilate him.]

Just like when Longinus ordered the Spear of Divine Execution.

This time, Mu Shin ordered Dong Bang Sak to completely annihilate Sung JiHan with the Taegeuk Sword.

"I will obey your command. However, if I take out the Taegeuk Sword on Earth, the planet could be greatly distorted..."

[It doesn't matter. It's fine even if half of humanity disappears.]

Whether it was Dong Bang Sak, who believed that the Earth would be distorted if the Taegeuk Sword was taken out.

Or Mu Shin, who anticipated that half of humanity would disappear.

At first glance, it sounded like an absurd story.

"But if that's the case, it's entirely possible."

Gilgamesh, who was listening from the side, didn't find it strange at all.

Dong Bang Sak's Taegeuk Sword.

It was an absolute sword that went far beyond common sense.

Sss...

[Remember. You must kill him with the Taegeuk Sword...]

After sealing the third bell again, Mu Shin's energy disappeared.

"I understand... Then, when he becomes the Holy Seat, I will personally take action."

Dong Bang Sak bowed in that direction.

* * *

After the battle in the sky ended.

The Sung JiHan family, who had settled the chaos in Gangnam, could finally return home late at night.

"It's fortunate that there were no casualties."

"That's right. When the sky was filled with bright lights and explosions, I thought it was doomsday."

As they said that, Yoon SeA turned on the TV.

Coincidentally, the news was on.

-Wow... Amazing. I'm riding a sword.

-He told us not to take pictures... How can we not take this?

Videos of ordinary people riding the Sword of the Sword King were being shown.

"Wow, they didn't just take pictures, they even recorded videos when he told them not to."

"Dad... Those people don't listen to what others say. But it looks fun. Ride me later!"

"Really? Do you want to ride? Should I take you out now?"

Seeing Yoon SeA wanting to ride, Yoon SeJin immediately went outside to take her.

"No, I'm tired today... I also rescued people in my own way."

"Okay. Let me know when you want to ride."

"But Dad, you seem stronger than before."

Yoon SeJin smiled and looked at Sung JiHan upon hearing those words.

"Our Holy See has granted me strength."

"Brother-in-law, that's temporary, isn't it? Isn't it ineffective now?"

"It's not as explosive as before, but it seems to still have about 30% effectiveness. It's not completely ineffective."

"Really?"

Sung JiHan's eyes lit up at those words.

30%...

I don't know how long this effect will last, but even if it lasts for a day, it's not bad, is it?

"I should prepare more sponsor players."

Originally, I didn't have any intention of sponsoring players because I thought I would only occupy the Holy See slot.

But if there's still a 30% effect, the story is different.

Sung JiHan thought that he should go down to the guild tomorrow and select some sponsors.

Meanwhile.

On the way home, Yoon Sae-ah, who heard that Sung JiHan fought with the Holy See in the sky, asked curiously.

"Uncle, did you drop any items when you fought the Holy See? I should receive a good reward in situations like this!"

"Did I get anything?"

"Yes, I caught the Holy See! In situations like this, you should receive a good reward!"

"I did get something."

Sung JiHan opened his inventory and took out the item he obtained earlier.

"...What is this? A stick?"

"It's a spear."

"It doesn't look like a spear... It doesn't even have a spearhead."

The spear of the bloodline that he obtained when Longinus' data disappeared.

At first glance, it was just a black wooden spear.

More like a staff than a spear.

"It's a bit disappointing to call this an item given by the Holy See..."

"No, I think I know the usefulness of this somehow."

Sung JiHan recalled the bloodline that wrote on the spear in the permanent preservation data.

And he threw it at the giant impaled on the cross and killed it.

"The annihilation code is currently very inconvenient because it can only be used by direct access. However, if I can activate the power of annihilation remotely using this..."

Then, the utility of the annihilation code will increase even more.

Sung JiHan smiled.

Longinus.

He gives generously even after death.

"I have to go experiment. I'll go first, brother-in-law."

"Sure. Go ahead, nephew."

"Oh, uncle. Are you going to the training ground? Come back~"

Yoon Sae-jin, who saw Sung JiHan off, came out of the house and entered the Void Training Ground.

A newly obtained item.

I have to use it properly and learn how to use it.

With a full heart, Sung JiHan entered the training ground.

But as soon as he entered, he was greeted by someone.

"I've been waiting for you."

The one who greeted him as soon as he entered was a figure made of pure white light, with eyes and a mouth.

"Can I bother you for a moment?"

"...Are you the owner of the Arena?"

At first, Sung JiHan responded to him with a sullen expression.

"Yes. I came here urgently today for an important transaction."

"Transaction? What is it?"

"I will release the Witch of Void for you."

"...What?"

His expression changed 180 degrees after hearing his proposal.
