The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 259

The representative team, consisting of individuals who are considered the best in the world rankings from 1st to 3000th place, represents humanity.

Most of the players in the representative team, who are well-known in their respective countries, had a strong sense of pride in themselves.

They thought highly of Sung JiHan's achievements and considered him reliable.

However, they felt a sense of reluctance towards doing nothing and just taking the bus while being trapped in a deadlock.

They were people who wanted to be supporting actors, even if they weren't the main characters in the Space League.

But it was difficult to do so.

The level of the opposing race, the dragon race, was overwhelmingly different.

"Um, during the rehearsal... it wasn't like this...!"

Whoosh!

Bae Ran bit his lip as he watched the Absolute Shield melt away in an instant.

The dragon during the rehearsal game was strong, but not to this extent.

He thought that he had also grown a lot and would be able to compete with his opponents.

He didn't expect to be overwhelmed by a flame breath that he couldn't even tell where it came from.

Meanwhile,

Even in the midst of the pouring fire breath, Sung JiHan, who was standing unscathed, smirked.

"You thought you could fight while thinking about the rehearsal? At that time, the dragons were also platinum-ranked. Just like you, the dragons have become stronger."

"But, still... I didn't expect the gap to be this big!"

"You should always think of the worst."

Chiik!

As the barrier completely disappeared, Bae Ran, who was instantly engulfed in flames, looked at Sung JiHan with a disappointed gaze.

While the whole world was a sea of fire, he felt like he was the only one in a different world, not even a single piece of his clothes burning.

"How... are you unharmed?"

"I have my ways."

Suuu...

A purple light spread throughout Sung JiHan's body.

The fire breath was blocked perfectly, unable to invade the space where he was.

Although he hadn't completely mastered the purple light energy of the HaShinGong that he learned from Dong BangSak, there were still many useful aspects to it.

'HaShinGong itself acts as a barrier.'

The energy that he couldn't fully comprehend was floating around Sung JiHan, completely blocking the fire breath.

If he had used this HaShinGong on other players who didn't possess the void energy, they might have been saved from the fire breath, but on the other hand, they might have been devoured by the dragons.

The purple energy, which could be fatal to ordinary players, had the potential to be lethal.

Sung JiHan briefly looked at the HaShinGong and spoke to Bae Ran, who was engulfed in flames.

"I'm sorry. I'm not yet familiar with controlling my power. It has its limits when I use it on myself."

"...You don't have to apologize. I wanted to fight...!"

"Is that so? Actually, I'm not sorry. Next time, just listen obediently."

"Ugh...!"

With a bitter smile, Bae Ran disappeared.

Starting with his disappearance, all the players who were summoned along with Sung JiHan began to disappear.

The players representing humanity, who were hit by the fire breath bombardment from long range without even seeing the dragon, disappeared.

=The human side, trapped in the fire breath, has been completely annihilated!

=Only 500 people have fallen so far. Oh, no. 499! Sung JiHan is still alive!

=As expected of Sung JiHan! He even withstood that powerful fire breath!

=Wait, if they were going to be wiped out so easily, they should have just obediently entered the inspection... What is Bae Ran really doing?

=Chrisdoph, the microphone is on!

=Ah, ahem. I'm sorry! My emotions got the better of me for a moment!

And in the midst of the commentators explaining the series of events, Christoph became annoyed and the broadcast continued as it was.

-The American commentator is criticizing the American promising player, lol.

-He deserves it. He was too arrogant as soon as he joined the international team and got cut in 10 seconds, ugh.

-Christopher, the commentator, definitely did that on purpose, lololol.

-Yeah, for real. He already has a strong supporting gift, lol.

-But still, Sung JiHan can't just rely on the team bus forever. The players have to fight somehow...

-If the world ranking drops, you'll take responsibility, right?

-He should create a dungeon in his own house to sober up, tsk tsk.

If the Balan and other international team players could have held on and fought a little longer...

Maybe the evaluation of them wouldn't have been so bad, being easily taken down by the Fire Breath.

And also...

=International team. It's okay. If we solve the situation with Sung JiHan as the center, we can win! Only 499 people have died so far... Ah, I, I'm a warrior. The number of casualties is increasing rapidly!

=In the chaotic battlefield, the breath is pouring down from the sky!

=But where is the dragon? It's not visible at all, whether it's high up in the sky or somewhere else!

=Ah. 3,300 warriors! More than half have already perished!

The situation itself has been overwhelmingly disadvantageous for humanity.

"As expected, this map is tough."

Sung JiHan looked up at the sky.

Although the stream of fire no longer descended where it had swept through.

In various places that seemed to be where the human forces were located.

The Fire Breath was still pouring down.

"Seeing them shoot almost simultaneously, it seems that ten dragons were summoned in similar areas. Even if they used the Gift of Resurrection, it wouldn't have been easy to save a thousand people."

Even if Sung JiHan sealed 500 people in the Sung JiHan area with the Gift of Resurrection.

Before moving elsewhere, the game must have already ended.

Sung JiHan decided to appreciate the fact that the first game awakened the harsh reality for the national team.

He looked up at the sky.

"But I still have to catch one dragon."

Swoosh!

Sung JiHan jumped into the sky to find the invisible dragon.

As he scanned beyond the clouds.

"Over 80 percent of the human players have perished."

"The game is about to end."

Soon, a message appeared indicating that the game was ending.

"Already?"

No matter how strong the breath was, this was too severe.

Before the game ended, Sung JiHan thought about finding the dragon and used all his power in the air battle.

And soon, he could see a gigantic creature in the sky.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Passing through the clouds, a red dragon with a tremendous presence was revealed beyond the sky.

With his eyes closed, the dragon slowly flapped its wings.

When Sung JiHan appeared, the dragon raised its eyelids and stared at him with sunken eyes.

"......"

Is that a dragon?

"Wow, it's so big..."

"The dragon we saw in the rehearsal game was really just a baby."

Compared to the Hatchling they saw in the rehearsal, the red dragon was incomparably huge.

People instinctively felt fear at its endless size, but...

"Shall I give it a try?"

Sung JiHan was full of the intention to attack.

Sssss...

From his left arm, the Shadow Eclipse revealed itself.

The swirling aura that flashed from his whole body was sucked into the sword.

"Since we already lost the first game, there's no need to go all out... I'll just throw some light jabs."

If I unleash a strong attack for no reason, I might become the target of focused suppression.

Thinking about the upcoming matches, Sung JiHan lightly drew a vertical line with his sword.

Hunwon Divine Art

Three Ultimate Martial Arts

Mount Tai Pressing

Then...

Chi-eeek...!

Countless barriers were created and then shattered in front of the dragon's head.

The sword energy that was tearing everything apart sliced through the dragon's forehead.

Poo-shoo-shoo...!

Amidst the Vein Sword's slash, the dragon's blood spurted in all directions.

As soon as it touched the air, it quickly boiled and turned into smoke.

"...By mixing in self-harm, the power is stronger than expected?"

Sung JiHan, who had intended to throw only light jabs, even let out a battle cry.

"The game is ending."

"The player is logging out."

Flash!

After delivering that blow, he logged out.

The Red Dragon silently watched as he disappeared.

"A mere human... how fascinating."

A glimmer briefly appeared in the indifferent eyes of the dragon.

"There's emptiness there. Perhaps..."

His voice was filled with vitality.

* * *

"We lost the first game. The game ended in an instant..."

"The Dragon. Truly a powerful presence befitting the second place in the league...!"

Defeat in the first game.

This game gave humanity a strong sense of powerlessness.

"No. How can it end just like that with a breath from the sky...?"

"It wouldn't matter if we exchanged the odds from 50:1 to 500:1, we would still lose, right?"

"We banned well, and Sung JiHan survived, but to lose so one-sidedly... is there any hope for this series?"

The game ended as the dragons unleashed their breath from the sky.

Although Sung JiHan managed to survive and inflict wounds on the dragons, it was already after the game had ended.

No matter how much the numbers were adjusted, the overwhelming difference in race couldn't be filled.

"They're strong... too strong."

Coach Davis entered the coaching room with a darker expression than before.

Dragons.

He had expected them to be strong, but...

Even though the ban cards were played well, he didn't expect to be overwhelmingly defeated like this.

"How are we supposed to fight against these guys?"

"...For now, we have to focus on Sung JiHan no matter what."

In the previous game, Sung JiHan easily withstood the breath unlike the others.

If they didn't build the game around him, there was no chance for humanity to win.

"We can't continue with this structure forever..."

A strategy that relied solely on Sung JiHan, the key player.

From the coach's perspective, it wasn't a good long-term solution.

But for humanity, who needed a win right now, there was no other choice.

Coach Davis decided to select the battlefield map of Valhalla for the remaining matches.

Walking on the clouds inside the coaching room.

"The cards will be the same as before."

The coach Davis, who was standing in front of a giant dragon, set up the ban card and select card just like in the first game.

"You insignificant being."

The opponent, who didn't say anything in the first game, spoke up.

Startled, Davis fell down again.

"Why did you fall like that today, coach -_-"

"I got scared because the dragon suddenly spoke."

"But he knows how to speak?"

"Insignificant... After watching the first game, I can't refute it. It's sad."

"What, what?"

Davis quickly got up and retorted to the dragon.

He tried not to lose his momentum somehow.

But he couldn't help his trembling voice.

The dragon, looking down at the coach, spoke again.

"Summon your true representative. I want to talk to him."

"True representative..."

"He who has hurt us. I'm talking about the mutant born from a worthless insect."

Is he talking about Sung JiHan?

Davis frowned, not knowing the dragon's intention.

"Sung JiHan is our key player... It would be a big problem if we came here for nothing and our information was exposed. There's no need to listen to the enemy's story."

That's how he tried to refuse the dragon's offer at once.

"If you summon him, I will let you lose the second game."

"What...?"

"Is one game not enough? Then I will give you the third game as well."

Lose the second game?

Davis's pupils trembled.

"How, how can I believe that?"

"I promise in the name of the dragon. We will also receive the system's certification."

"Well..."

Just by changing the coach, they would give up the second game?

And even receive the certification from BattleNet?

Davis swallowed hard.

Dragon race.

As can be seen from the first game, they are a difficult opponent to beat.

But just by talking to Sung JiHan, they would give up the second game...

"Fine. Let's start with the certification."

Davis said that he couldn't easily believe in such a good condition, but he would start with the certification from BattleNet.

"Alright."

The dragon coach accepted the offer right away and proceeded with the work.

=... What on earth is going on?

=Why is the dragon race interested in Sung JiHan?

The situation suddenly became strange, both for the commentators and the viewers.

Although they didn't understand English, they had no choice but to proceed with the work after the certification from BattleNet was completed.

"...Sung JiHan. I have a favor to ask."

"I understand. Let's go see what they mean by giving us two wins."

That's how Sung JiHan, instead of Coach Davis, stepped into the coach's room.

Flash...

"Better than expected."

The dragon's eyes lit up when he saw Sung JiHan.

"My dear, what do you think? Will you become a member of our tribe?"

"...What?"

Out of the blue, the dragon proposed a scout to Sung JiHan.
