The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 228

Space League match, held as the second match in March.

This match, just like the opening match, drew attention from around the world.

And rightfully so.

=Of course, there won't be any unimportant games in the Space League...

=But today's match is especially important.

=Among the winning races, we are in last place.

=The score difference with the 11th place World Tree Elves 71 is not that big anymore.

The current ranking situation of humanity is not very good.

-There are more and more dungeons appearing now.

-Even in the North Korean land that the Sword King completely subjugated, the dungeon portals are appearing again, right?

-Yeah... and the GP is also increasing in price.

When we were tied for first place, it seemed like the world had gotten better than during the tutorial.

But as the point difference between the races gradually increased, humanity dropped to 10th place and the situation became worse than during the tutorial.

However, humanity still had control over the level where they knew how to conquer dungeon portals.

If we drop further in the rankings, I don't know what will happen.

=Fortunately, the opposing race is the lowest, the Urk.

=These are the same race we encountered during Sung JiHan's promotion match.

=Their faces resemble pigs, but their bodies are all strong warriors.

=During Sung JiHan's promotion match, we easily suppressed them, so we didn't really get a proper grasp of their strength.

=All races that go against Sung JiHan's player are not easy, right? Haha!

Fortunately, the opponent was ranked 20th from the bottom.

The outlook for this game was positive.

-Urk doesn't seem to have anything special, haha.

-What could be the reason for being at the very bottom?

-They were just used up during the promotion match as well.

The opposing race, Urk.

In the Battle.net dominated by powerful alien races, they were the most manageable opponents.

Everyone was optimistic about winning the second game.

"This is really. It's as burdensome as the opening match."

In fact, that's why Coach Davis felt the pressure for this game.

He didn't know what hidden cards the opposing race might have.

Since everyone thought they would all win.

He looked around the players in the Battle.net waiting room with a serious expression.

When his gaze stopped at Sung JiHan, his face softened.

"Sung JiHan player. You managed to keep 11th place after all. Thank you very much."

Davis approached Sung JiHan and extended his hand for a handshake.

As requested last time, Sung JiHan stopped the world player ranking at 11th place.

A player who can play any position without being affected by ban cards.

A player who shows overwhelming strength.

From the perspective of a coach, being able to utilize such a player was like a blessing.

"We must keep our promise."

"Haha. This time, I might not even participate in every game. Please take care of me."

"Then let's finish it in just three sets and go home."

"As expected, you are reliable."

With Sung JiHan's words, Coach Davis smiled satisfactorily.

[Summoning both team coaches.]

"Then, I'll go and see."

They were summoned to a separate space by Battle.net.

=Coach Davis, who was having a conversation with Sung JiHan, has been summoned.

=The screen is changing.

=Just like last time, the coaches are summoned to the representative office.

=Urk's coach... is translated as the Great Tribe Leader.

A pure white table suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The figure standing at the ends of the large table was Davis, the supervisor of humanity.

He was a giant orc, 1.5 times larger than Davis.

"Krrr..."

With fangs protruding high as if to pierce the eyes, the towering orc growled while looking at Davis.

"Human... Are you a species with a hidden boss?"

"Ah. If it's a hidden boss..."

"Is it about Sung JiHan?"

"He's infamous on Earth too! The hidden boss of one-shot, one-kill!"

"By the way, it was said that a notice was sent to each guild to maintain Sung JiHan's 11th place ranking. They were told not to challenge the hidden boss and just ignore him."

"I see. It's a strategy to prepare for a ban card. Since it will take up to 10th place!"

"Yes. However, according to the players we interviewed, they were all running away even before the notice was sent. No matter how good the rewards are, they don't have the courage to challenge anymore!"

"Why bother when one swing of a sword can cut you in half?"

Sung JiHan, the hidden boss who has gained notoriety in dungeons across multiple worlds, including Earth.

It seems he is also active on the Orc planet.

The chieftain mentioned Sung JiHan as soon as he met Davis.

While doing so, he looked at Davis with sharp eyes.

"You... You're weak. Why did you become the representative of your species?"

"Because I'm the team coach."

"Coach? Krrr... A coach without any combat ability, I don't know what use you have."

The chieftain who sneered at him in front of Davis.

[Choose the ban for the first match and place the select card on the table.]

"Here it is."

When the system's guidance appeared.

He took out the prepared card.

"Our select card is..."

"The Mage's Tower!"

"Wasn't this map for individual matches for mage classes?"

"In the Space League, it changes to a team match map. 100 players will participate!"

The Mage's Tower.

This map had two giant towers placed at a certain distance.

The mages stayed there and unleashed their firepower at each other.

"There is an interesting fact about this map."

"Yes. During the match between Korea and China, Sung JiHan participated as a mage!"

"Zhuge He, the best mage in China, thought he would end the game. But it was a game where he was reversed by Sung JiHan. It is known as a game where Sung JiHan's all-class has tremendous utility."

"Today, did Davis choose this map to aim for Sung JiHan's participation?"

As the commentators explained.

"Orc... It might be a prejudice, but judging by the appearance of the species alone, it seems that warriors would be stronger than mage power."

Davis had his own plan for bringing out the Mage's Tower.

Among humanity's forces, the most powerful were the warrior lineup led by Sung JiHan and the Sword King.

But if you only looked at the rankings, mages were the most prevalent in the top 10.

If it weren't for Sung JiHan as a regular, mages would actually be stronger than humans.

On the other hand, although the data for the orc was only from Sung JiHan's promotion match.

"In that game, only warriors and archers were active when facing the undead, and there was hardly any presence of mages or supports."

In that case.

There was no need to have warriors who seemed strong against each other.

It was the best move to bring the game to the mage map and add the hidden card, Sung JiHan.

Meanwhile.

"The chieftain of the orc also takes out the select card. It's a relief that he's not doing anything strange like with the elves."

"The map is called the Valley of Warriors... It's a large-scale battlefield where only warriors, 2000 of them, participate!"

"2,000? Is that possible for the national team?"

"Not for the national team, but it is said that players from the warrior rankings 1st to 2000th of the species will all be drafted and play."

"To choose the mage map even though there is a hidden boss... Do you warriors have no pride?"

The chieftain laughed at Davis while holding his card.

He seemed convinced that the hidden boss, Sung JiHan, was the ultimate warrior among warriors.

"Much more comfortable than when I was an elf."

Unlike the elves who couldn't reveal their true feelings because they didn't take out their cards.

Director Davis smiled back at Orc, who openly pushed forward the warrior card.

"Why. Don't you have a shortage of mage power?"

"Hmph...! Orc is superior to you in every aspect!"

"Then why don't you take out the mage's top card?"

"We can't do that! We are going to face the hidden boss. The strongest warrior is not him, it's me!"

Thump. Thump!

The chieftain pounded his chest strongly.

As the desk trembled, Director Davis secretly wiped away his cold sweat.

No, why are the elves like that too?

Do all the representatives have to be powerful players?

"Of course, Sung JiHan is unlikely to lose to that chieftain, but we need to thoroughly expose his weaknesses for the victory of humanity."

Director Davis decided not to choose the warrior map and took out the ban card.

"Among the top 1-10 players of 'Orc', 3 players are banned."

"The players ranked 1, 7, and 9 are banned. They cannot participate in the first game."

"Among the top 1-10 players of 'Humanity', 3 players are banned."

"The players ranked 2, 3, and 10 are banned. They cannot participate in the first game."

The two races exchanged bans of three players each.

As he quietly watched the ban results, Sword King Yoon Se-jin spoke up.

"I've been banned. Should I have aimed for first place even if it was a bit unreasonable?"

"Oliver has closed the gap a lot. Won't he surpass you next month?"

"Yeah. I should taste the top spot for a moment before my brother-in-law takes first place."

"That's right. You should go quickly."

"...Sung JiHan, it's confirmed that you will be ranked first."

Listening to their conversation, Ha Yeon-joo looked at Sung JiHan with an incredulous expression.

"Of course."

Ranking first was a natural course for Sung JiHan.

"In the current situation without national bonuses, even if I wanted to fall behind in the rankings, I couldn't."

In the past, he fell behind in the rankings as a latecomer, thanks to the large influence of national bonuses.

But now, without national bonuses, the level was the top priority factor.

Perhaps because Hidden Boss Sung JiHan was so powerful, he couldn't earn as much experience points as when he first appeared.

But still, his level was already approaching 249.

"But Orc. Are only warriors strong? Maybe they're hiding their true power like the elves did..."

"That's right. Brother-in-law, do you have any dreams?"

"Premonition? I didn't have any premonitions."

Sung JiHan carefully watched Orc Chieftain on the screen.

The warrior chieftain who was the most powerful before being executed by the elves.

The player who defeated the Sword King in the second game of the previous life.

'And the fact that Orc Planet was selected on BattleNet means there's something...'

Even though they were a race that played together in the relegation zone later on.

He couldn't let his guard down.

Sung JiHan pointed at the chieftain and said,

"That chieftain seems quite strong."

"Hmm... I thought so too. If the warrior map is chosen, we should be careful when facing him."

"Is there no way to hide the mage power?"

"Not really."

Even in the previous life, Orc's weaknesses were mages and supporters.

They were races that were as they appeared.

When Sung JiHan confirmed it so decisively,

"Phew..."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Sung JiHan."

Not only Ha Yeon-joo, but also the players who were listening to his words around him let out a sigh of relief.

Although they were suspicious of everything because they had borrowed so much from the elves.

Sung JiHan, who has the ability of dream prediction, told me so, and I felt relieved.

And.

[The map for the first match has been determined.]

[The first match will take place in the 'Wizard's Tower'.]

"Oh!"

"So it's the Wizard's Tower."

"That's a good result!"

"The coach is lucky."

According to Coach Davis's intention, the map for the first match has been decided.

Upon seeing this result, Chief Uruk frowned.

"Humans. Even though they have a hidden boss, they lack enthusiasm."

"Don't expect too much from the superior wizard power."

"Hmph...!"

Although Chief Uruk snorted at Davis's sarcasm.

But once the match started.

"Krrr..."

He turned his gaze away from the screen and closed his eyes.

Because.

=Uh...

=Uruk's magic. It's weaker than I thought.

=The enemy's magic can't even reach our tower.

=Oliver and Jegalheon, bomb the enemy's tower as if competing!

The match was too one-sided.

"At this time, Uruk's wizard level was more pathetic."

The map used in the Space League, the Wizard's Tower.

This place, where two towers stood tall, boasted a considerable distance between them.

However, compared to the human wizards who bombarded from afar without being constrained by that distance.

"Krr. Krr..."

"It's too far..."

Uruk's wizards were struggling because they couldn't even aim their magic properly.

A battlefield resembling a battle between cannons and bows.

=Sung JiHan, the player. He's flying towards the enemy's tower...

=But the game... is already over?

=Uruk can't even become a match for the enemy in terms of firepower!

Sung JiHan tried to use his ultimate move, as promised with Pitya, but.

"...Is it over?"

Before he could use his martial arts, the game ended.

=The first match... is an easy victory!

=Sung JiHan, the player. You stopped flying in the middle.

=The game ended before you could fly, so there's nothing you can do!

The game ended with Oliver from the United States being selected as the MVP.

Coach Davis looked at Chief Uruk with a more relaxed expression and smiled.

"You have an impressive wizard power."

"...Magic is nothing more than sorcery. Uruk only worships power!"

"Is that so? The wizard map is a must."

Unlike the transparent Uruk, who was an elf.

Coach Davis also chose the wizard map for the second match.

"Krrrr..."

But luck didn't favor them this time.

[The map for the second match has been determined.]

[The second match will take place in the 'Warrior's Valley'.]

"Great."

Chief Uruk revealed his vicious fangs as he looked at the result of the select card.

"Bring out the hidden boss right away. I'll kill them all."
