The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 231

The second space game ended with a 3:1 victory for humanity.

The atmosphere on the side of humanity was festive.

[Victory in the battle against Urk!]

[Humanity jumps up to 7th place in the league rankings.]

[Sung JiHan, who dominated the tribe leader twice, rises as the series MVP.]

[Director Davis's tactics worked perfectly.]

Along with the special coverage of the global media,

the series MVP interview took place.

"Sung JiHan!"

"Congratulations on being the series MVP!"

The waiting room for the representative team of humanity, located within the Battle.net game.

The commentators who came here as interviewers handed the microphone to Sung JiHan with excited faces.

"You showed a much stronger performance than before. Especially in the battle against Urk, it felt like a natural disaster was happening!"

"The sky was falling frozen! No magician, not even Oliver, could have portrayed such a scene. It was truly overwhelming!"

"How on earth can you grow so quickly?"

"Just join the Waiting Guild."

"Haha! I was so excited to enter the top 200, but the competition is no joke!"

The commentators laughed and chatted with Sung JiHan.

They also brought up the topic of ranking 11, which was one of the decisive factors in finishing the game 3:1 this time.

"Looking at the situation earlier, Urk's representative, the tribe leader, mistakenly thought Sung JiHan was in first place and used the ban card."

"Well, it was understandable for him to make that mistake! In the three games, Sung JiHan didn't come out as the first, so he was banned."

"Today, this strategy was very effective, but what will happen in the next Space League game..."

"What do you think will happen to Sung JiHan's ranking then?"

In response to the commentator's question, Sung JiHan answered immediately.

"It's impossible for me to stay in 11th place."

"Of course... that's right, isn't it?"

"Yes. My hidden boss is giving me experience points. If I stop growing there, I won't be able to handle stronger enemies in the future. However..."

Sung JiHan then raised his index finger.

"Let's take first place as slowly as possible."

"First place...!"

"Yes. As you saw with Urk's tribe leader, it's a reasonable judgment for me to consider myself the number one in humanity. Isn't it a rational judgment from the perspective of our enemies?"

If another player had said that, it would have been considered too arrogant.

"That's right!"

"Urk's tribe leader's choice, we laughed at it, but it's actually a normal judgment."

"After being crushed by Sung JiHan, it's only natural to think that way!"

If Sung JiHan had said those words, it would have been a different story.

- Seriously, the tribe leader made the obvious choice.

- Did he really think 11th place was that strong? Lol.

- Today we found out who would win between Sung JiHan and the Sword King.

- Well, except for the extreme Sword King fans, everyone is raising their hands for Sung JiHan's victory lol.

- But if Sung JiHan becomes first, that's when things will get serious.

Everyone naturally acknowledged that Sung JiHan was the strongest in humanity and that the first place in the rankings was reserved for him.

People were worried about future situations, taking it for granted.

"What will we do if the enemies focus on banning the top player?"

"I saw earlier that Sung JiHan was able to clear a game without any problems..."

"Yeah, Sung JiHan didn't have the Sung JiHan buff, so the score would have been the opposite if he wasn't there."

"Even Orcs, who are considered a strong race, were at the bottom..."

"Don't let winning this game make us complacent, we need to quickly improve and strengthen other players. Once Sung JiHan reaches the top, it's almost certain he'll be banned."

In both games, humanity relied too heavily on Sung JiHan.

The coaching staff, who wished for Davis, knew this situation well.

After the MVP interview, during the subsequent victory interview,

Coach Davis spoke with a serious expression.

"We were able to easily win this game thanks to Sung JiHan's play. But this won't last forever. As you can see from the three games, there are still many areas where the representative team of humanity needs improvement. Until Sung JiHan reaches the top, we will do our best to strengthen our forces."

"Yeah, don't just rely on Sung JiHan, other players need to step up too."

"Coach Davis is reliable."

"Yeah, I think they'll keep him as the coach of the representative team."

"Right, even the execution of the Elves, well, it weakened the enemy's forces, didn't it?"

Thus, the second game of the Space League ended with a victory.

Along with the joy of victory for humanity, it presented the task of resolving the excessive reliance on Sung JiHan.

Meanwhile,

"Phew..."

Yoon Se-jin, who logged out and returned to Sword Palace,

went to the liquor cabinet, brought several bottles of liquor to the living room, and started opening them one by one.

"Dad! I mean, what kind of alcohol is this...!"

"Haha. The wall of the universe is high."

"...Is it because of the Chieftain?"

"That too. We were powerless against the Elves in the game."

Phew.

Yoon Se-jin sighed deeply and started drinking the liquor bottle by bottle.

Losing the position of the strongest warrior to his younger brother was actually a happy event for him.

"But to be completely powerless like this..."

With every important battle, he found himself losing.

It was so pathetic.

"What are you doing, brother-in-law?"

"After a series of defeats, I feel pathetic myself."

"The Chieftain... He gathered the power of other Orcs, he was an opponent beyond the norm."

Gulp. Gulp.

Sung JiHan offered words of comfort to Yoon Se-jin, who was drinking the liquor like water.

"In the third game, didn't you fight hard while everyone else was dying? I don't think you should blame yourself."

"...Still. Didn't my younger brother defeat me?"

Phew.

Yoon Se-jin sighed deeply and looked at the palm of his hand.

"I feel doubtful these days. The pinnacle of the Twin Swords. Am I really developing this ability properly? Am I just a simple lucky guy who received an SSS-grade gift?"

Sung JiHan silently watched Yoon Se-jin, who raised the liquor bottle again, filled with self-doubt.

The pinnacle of the Twin Swords.

That gift was also an area he didn't know much about.

In the end, I couldn't give any advice since it's ultimately up to the player to improve themselves.

"Thinking back to my previous life..."

The Sword King, who had been used by Shizuru as her pawn.

Even after crossing over to Japan, he did not stop growing as a warrior.

In the first place, it was because of his usefulness that Shizuru personally seduced him.

"As time went on, the number of swords decreased."

The Sword King, who used to summon the Hundred Swords.

As time passed, he actually reduced the number of swords.

In the end, he only had about 20 swords left.

Sung JiHan spoke to Yoon SeJin, who was pouring himself a drink.

"Instead of dispersing your strength with the Hundred Swords, how about reducing the number of swords?"

"Reduce... the swords?"

"Yes. The Hundred Swords are effective for ordinary opponents as a wide-area attack, but they don't work in the Space League. It would be more powerful to refine each sword and cultivate anticipation."

"Hmm... reduce the Hundred Swords..."

Yoon SeJin, who had already emptied a bottle of liquor, fell deep in thought.

Sung JiHan's solution.

It was simple, but for Yoon SeJin, who had been increasing the swords and developing the ultimate form of the Twin Swords, it was a complete change in the opposite direction.

Tap. Tap.

He tapped the empty bottle with his finger.

"Alright. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice, brother-in-law."

He stood up from his seat and walked to the training room.

"Dad! What should I do if I drink and swing a sword?"

"It's okay. I haven't even drunk this!"

Waving his hand while emitting the smell of alcohol, Yoon SeJin disappeared.

Yoon SeA watched him with a bewildered expression, then gave a thumbs up to Sung JiHan.

"Uncle. It was a great success today. I led the team to victory alone, you know?"

"I was just fooling around in the first game."

"Ah... you flew hard and then it ended? That was just a warm-up because the magician on the other side was so weak!"

As she said that, Yoon SeA raised her hand.

"But I'm here! I got a call from the coach today."

"The coach? Who? Davis?"

"No... Davis was drawing cards earlier. It was Coach No YoungJun."

"Oh. Right. Why did he call?"

"He asked if I could participate in the Korea-Japan match next week! Finally! I've been selected for the national team!"

As she said that, Yoon SeA clenched her fist and jumped around.

Sung JiHan was secretly surprised and asked her.

"Our national team's archer lineup will be tough... Did they let you in?"

"It's all because of Artemis' bow! This is so~~~ great!"

"Is it worth the money?"

"...No. I still can't afford it."

"Well, you'll be able to someday."

"Ugh. Even so, the value of 20 billion GP..."

When the value of 20 billion GP was mentioned, Yoon SeA's touch on Artemis' bow, which she had just touched, became cautious.

Seeing that, Sung JiHan smirked.

"I won't ask for money, so write it harshly."

"Ugh. How can you say that? This is the most expensive bow in the world..."

"Anyway, then the three of us will participate in the Korea-Japan match."

"That's right! Hehe. After successfully winning our debut match, we'll even participate in the Space League!"

"Hmm. In that case, do you have any other skills besides Void Arrow?"

"Oh. Well, I am practicing something..."

Yoon Sae-ah's voice became quieter at the question of whether she had any other skills.

"Ugh. Alright! Yeah. I should also go to develop my skills! I can't just sit still while Dad is training!"

Suddenly getting excited, she ran off to the training room, saying that she will also add skills.

"Yes. Work hard and make it onto the banned card."

"Got it! Uncle shouldn't be banned!"

Yoon Sae-ah shook hands with Sung JiHan and went into the training room.

Seeing her like that, he smiled slightly.

"Well... is your duty finished?"

When Pithia's voice came, he lowered his voice.

"Yes. Pithia. What did you think of your abilities, your impressions?"

"Bingcheon Geomwoo... that's what it was called. The skill from earlier."

"That's right."

"I saw it and I realized... that I was definitely deceived by him."

Her voice, convinced that she was deceived by the God of War, unexpectedly sounded dumbfounded.

"I expected that tone."

"I always had doubts about him. I can't go into detail here... but are you going to participate in the match with Japan next week?"

"I will."

"Then let's talk on BattleNet at that time."

"With you?"

"Yes. The avatar I saw before. She was Japanese."

The Asian woman who broke into the hotel.

Was that woman of Japanese nationality?

"Alright. I'll see you then."

"Okay. Until then... let me tell you one thing I realized. Bingcheon Geomwoo that you used earlier..."

She lowered her voice and explained what she understood.

"The true essence of that power lies in exploration."

With that, Pithia didn't send any more messages.

Sung JiHan, upon hearing her words, raised his head.

"...Exploration?"

Bingcheon Geomwoo.

That overwhelming destructive power that froze the sky.

It was used for exploration?

It's not easy to understand, but since it is related to her ability, it's not nonsense.

"...I should go to the training room too."

When you don't understand, you have to keep trying.

On the day he won in the Space League.

Instead of popping champagne, he headed to the Void Training Grounds.
