The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 281

The next morning.

"...So something like this happened."

Yoon Se-jin confided in Sung JiHan about the sponsorship message she received from the Holy See last night.

"The condition for the Holy See's sponsorship is to have a conversation with me?"

"Yes. Coincidentally, they specifically mentioned talking to my brother-in-law, so they kept the message on hold without selecting yes or no in the message window."

"The First King..."

The sudden appearance of the Holy See, the First King.

Sung JiHan didn't know why he wanted to have a conversation with her, but...

"If you find it burdensome to have a conversation, press no."

In response to Yoon Se-jin's words, he replied kindly.

"No, it's not difficult to talk. But I'm not sure if it would be helpful to my father-in-law."

"Oh? Actually, my sponsorship slot has been empty for a long time. I would like to receive support if possible. Lately, I feel like my growth has been too slow."

During the Abyss incident.

Did it have an impact that she couldn't do anything until Sung JiHan stepped forward?

Yoon Se-jin expressed her determination to receive sponsorship from the First King as long as Sung JiHan was okay.

"Then let's have a conversation now. I was curious about the existence of the First King as well."

"Alright."

When Sung JiHan pressed yes in response to her words.

Flash!

A golden light spread brightly in his eyes.

"Are you Sung JiHan?"

"...Dad?"

When Yoon Se-ah, who had been watching their conversation from the side, retorted.

Sung JiHan, with his golden eyes, spoke to her directly.

"Sweetie, I have an important conversation with him, so please leave for a moment."

"Ah... Okay."

Yoon Se-ah nodded her head with a blank expression and went into her room.

Sung JiHan looked at Yoon Se-jin with cold eyes.

"He doesn't seem to be my brother-in-law... Is he the Holy See? What did he do to Se-ah?"

"Hehe. I simply ordered her to step down as the human king. Humanity should listen to my words."

"The human king..."

"Yes. I am Gilgamesh."

Sung JiHan crossed his legs and sat on the sofa as Gilgamesh entered his body.

Thump.

And when he flicked his finger, a golden barrier appeared around the living room.

It blocked the outside and the inside space.

"Yes. And I am the last god, the first god."

"You?"

Although she already knew from Pithia.

Sung JiHan looked at him with a surprised expression, pretending not to know.

One.

"I'm not very surprised. As you already know."

Gilgamesh smirked, seeing that his reaction lacked sincerity.

If it continued like this, the situation would lead to questioning how he knew.

Sung JiHan opened his mouth with a relaxed expression.

"To be honest, I saw the name Gilgamesh not too long ago. In Abyss."

"In Abyss?"

"Yes. Detected Gilgamesh, a Class 1 surveillance target. They said they're dispatching the hydrogen of the seven-colored sky."

"Class 1... Void. As expected, they're still keeping an eye on me. So you've seen your share of trouble here too."

"Here too?"

"Yes. Using the power of the gods, didn't you awaken me? The time I woke up was right before the extinction of humanity. But you became a major variable."

Gilgamesh looked at Sung JiHan as if satisfied.

"I hope you continue to remain a variable."

"Is that so?"

"But the gods think differently. They don't tolerate even small variables. You have surpassed the limits they can allow. They ordered Longinus to kill you."

"Longinus... Can the Seat of the Holy See just descend on Earth like that?"

"The rules of the Battle.net seem absolute, but there are always loopholes. Until you become a candidate for the Seat, the gods will continue to target you, even at a loss."

"A candidate for the Seat..."

Thanks to the hidden bonus option 'Chaser of Stars,' Sung JiHan could become a candidate for the Seat in 300 days. But until then, he didn't receive complete protection from the Battle.net.

"If you survive Longinus' hands, then you can guarantee your safety afterwards. The gods have temporarily closed their eyes, and I am in charge of the dirty work."

"If you're in charge, can't you prevent Longinus from intervening?"

"That's impossible. I have to carry out the order given before the gods closed their eyes. But..."

Flash!

In front of Sung JiHan's eyes, a screen appeared.

"It's possible to help you from behind like this."

In the screen, the chains that appeared when he used the Divine Skill of Annihilation were shown.

They spread to the sky and the ground, then gathered back to their original position.

And...

[Enkidu.]

When Gilgamesh said Enkidu in the screen.

Clank. Clank!

The steel chains gathered in one place and transformed into a giant figure wearing a massive steel armor with two arms, two legs, and even a head.

"This is the created body, Enkidu. Since the Divine Spear targets the gods first, Enkidu can block his attack. You awakened me and even defeated the hydrogen of the sky in my place. As a reward, I will teach you the summoning method of Enkidu."

"Enkidu..."

"Will you learn?"

There's no harm in learning.

Sung JiHan nodded his head.

Then...

Flash!

Light burst from the floating screen, and Sung JiHan began to receive information about the new usage of the Divine Skill of Annihilation.

The information conveyed by the light was so vast that Sung JiHan unconsciously furrowed his brows.

"Indeed, someone who possesses a soul."

Gilgamesh looked at Sung JiHan, who stopped at just wrinkling his brows, and nodded his head as if satisfied.

After a while, when Sung JiHan returned to his original expression, Gilgamesh opened his mouth.

"So, did you understand a bit?"

"Somewhat. Of course, I'll have to continue training."

"Good. Then, I wish you good luck. Survive Longinus' hands."

Sssss...

When Sung JiHan arrived, the golden light disappeared from Yoon Sejin's eyes.

"Wait."

"Hmm?"

"What does Enkidu, whom you taught me about... have to do with the elves?"

In response to Sung JiHan's question, Gilgamesh looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.

"...Did you deduce the connection with the elves from that information?"

"Enkidu's body is similar to the internal structure of the elves."

The internal structure of the steel giant that Gilgamesh taught him was similar to the elves that Sung JiHan had dissected and analyzed countless times.

"...You really 'understood.' You're even more exceptional than I expected. I'm satisfied that your chances of survival have increased. But I can't answer one of your questions. It's related to the 'beginning.'"

"The beginning... Were there elves back then?"

"That, too, I can't answer."

While saying that, Gilgamesh nodded his head.

Does this mean he agrees?

That's what Sung JiHan thought.

"It's too much for now. Well, I'll say it again, survive from Longinus' hands."

Shhh...

As the light completely disappeared, Yoon Sejin's eyes returned to their original black color.

"Uh, um. Brother-in-law. Did the Holy See arrive by any chance?"

"Yes. I had a conversation with him."

"...How was it? Was it not a harmful conversation for my brother-in-law?"

Whether he couldn't remember the conversation when Gilgamesh possessed him.

Yoon Sejin looked at Sung JiHan with worried eyes.

"It wasn't harmful. It was a satisfying conversation. And I received something from him."

Although he couldn't fully understand Gilgamesh's intentions.

His attitude, which was superficially revealed this time, was friendly towards Sung JiHan.

In addition to surviving from Longinus' hands, he also taught him how to summon Enkidu.

Yoon Sejin's sponsoring Holy See ended up supporting more for Sung JiHan.

"Actually, it's my brother-in-law who should receive more from the Holy See."

"Well... The Holy See seemed satisfied with this conversation and gave me an additional 5 stat points. And he also bestowed upon me the Blessing of the Beginning, which further increases growth bonuses."

When Sung JiHan said it was fine, Yoon Sejin spoke about what he received.

The rewards he received were not bad either.

"I feel like I received more. I'm sorry."

Sung JiHan looked at Yoon Sejin, who was smiling satisfactorily after receiving the rewards, and thought that he had received more.

At that moment.

Suddenly!

"Oh, Uncle! What was that earlier?"

As Yoon Sejin's room opened, Yoon Se-ah, who had obediently gone in according to Gilgamesh's words, rushed out.

"Are you back to your senses now?"

"Um... I was completely possessed. When my dad with golden eyes spoke, I couldn't help but listen."

"You couldn't resist at all?"

"No. It just felt like... I had to obey his words."

Is this also a power possessed by the King of Humans?

The last disciple of the God of War was not an easy opponent either.

"So, how did things go?"

"Ah, well done. I need to practice what I've learned though."

"Ah... going to practice again?"

Sung JiHan nodded.

Until Longinus arrives, I need to master the Enkidu summoning.

"Set the Dragon Flame to 200 and try mixing it."

The opponent is a formidable enemy.

We also needed to be fully prepared on our side.

"You can come at the end of May this month, right?"

The Space League and the promotion match were both at the end of May.

Yoon SaeA scratched her head at Sung JiHan's words.

"Well... there is a national team game. We'll take care of that!"

"Right. Brother-in-law. The Champions League is practically confirmed. We'll handle the minor matches."

"Ah, where is it?"

"Russia."

In the Northeast Asia League, Russia East was in the 3rd or 4th place.

After Yoon SaeJin rejoined, the Korean national team was joined by Yoon SaeA, who had also grown.

They definitely had the power to defeat them.

Even if Sung JiHan didn't step up, it wouldn't be difficult to secure a victory.

"If nothing special happens, I could just participate... but..."

Now, we don't know when we'll face Longinus.

We had to prepare ourselves by pulling out as much power as possible from the Void Training Ground.

"Understood. Then please take care of it."

Yoon SaeJin's wife, who was going to pass on this regional league match, asked Sung JiHan.

"Ah, did the association call?"

Ring ring...

A call came from the BattleNet Association.

* * *

=Everyone, thank you for waiting so long! The match against Russia, where we can secure our spot in the Champions League as the first place, is about to begin!

=Actually, the lineup is what people are most interested in today! There have been many discussions about whether Sung JiHan will participate or not!

=That's right. The Korean national team actually went through a tough time. There were many opinions about whether we needed Sung JiHan's help or not.

BattleNet national team.

After the Space League was launched, it lost some of its shine.

But for the players, representing the country was a great honor.

However, it was different when it came to Sung JiHan.

The national team's position was to humbly request Sung JiHan, who was the best, to participate.

=But, this time Sung JiHan has joined the lineup!

=He personally said he would participate!

=Ah, is it to achieve a perfect ending? With Sung JiHan's participation, our spot in the Champions League is confirmed!

Player waiting room.

Hayanju, the leader of the Archer team, listened to the commentators and asked Sung JiHan with a curious expression.

"Did you really come out because of a perfect ending?"

Sung JiHan smirked and answered.

"No."

The reason Sung JiHan, who could have skipped the match because of Longinus' avatar, decided to participate was because of Vladimir from Russia.

A few days ago, he remembered the call from the association.
