The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 208

Russian player waiting room.

"Mr. Vladimir. You should have told us in advance, isn't this too much?"

"To suddenly kill us...!"

The players who were already logged out tried to protest to Vladimir as he came out of the Battle.net connector.

"Shut up."

"..."

When he emitted a strong aura, they couldn't even make a sound.

The players were all powerful Diamond players who could become national representatives.

Vladimir.

No, Sung JiHan, to be precise, couldn't overcome his momentum when Longinus inside him was genuinely angry.

"Sung JiHan...!"

Blood vessels rose in Longinus' eyes.

'The power of blood...'

The stolen 'Divine Kill' from the wandering god in Longinus.

It manifested as the blood cross of blood and the spear that pierced it.

Longinus thought that only the spear of the Divine Kill was taken from the god.

But.

'From the blood cross... is my thing being pushed back?'

The situation a little while ago.

Clearly, there was room to absorb more power.

But what exploded was because he couldn't absorb the power of 'blood'.

From the blood cross, a subordinate of the god...

'...I can't be humiliated by someone other than my master.'

If it was a god, he would understand.

Because he was an absolute existence.

But no matter how much he had a soul.

He couldn't tolerate being pushed back by a human who was about to become a Diamond.

"Sung JiHan. I'm going to modify your flabby body."

"Uh, wait... what are you saying?"

He appealed, asking how he was going to handle the original owner of his body inside Longinus.

But the already insane Sung JiHan didn't answer that question.

Ssskkk!

He scratched Vladimir's face with his nails.

"What's a little scar on your face? Isn't it okay if it remains?"

Sss...

From his forehead to his chin.

Vladimir had long scars running vertically.

The Russian players around who saw that were horrified.

In their eyes.

He was a crazy person who muttered to himself and then scratched his face.

"That doesn't seem like just a scar."

"Mr. Vladimir... don't you need to see a psychiatrist?"

And.

Sss...

As red smoke rose from the wound.

Vladimir formed a cruel smile.

"Now, you will become stronger. You."

* * *

=We won the first match, but...

=Vladimir showed a completely different side than before. I almost thought he was going to lose!

A match played on one leg.

The appearance Vladimir showed here was so shocking that even after the first match ended, people continued to talk about it.

-Vladimir is so strong, isn't he? His movements were no joke.

-I thought he would be exhausted by the end. But he got even stronger when his body swelled up.

-Even the Russian community seemed confused.

We thought we would easily win, but when we opened the lid, unexpected variables appeared.

Even after winning the first game, Korean fans were more anxious than before the game started.

And Sung JiHan didn't let go of his tension.

"We won the first game, but we can't guarantee the next one."

Vladimir didn't show this side of him in the previous life.

Maybe it's because Sung JiHan gained a soul.

It seemed to be related to the divine power.

I don't know if the Holy See intervened or if another variable came into play, but one thing was certain: his abilities were beyond the norm.

"The Iron Cross seemed like a significant Achilles' heel for him... If we meet again in the next game, I should use it."

While Sung JiHan was considering the Iron Cross as a key point and coming up with his own countermeasures.

=Game 2. Russia uses a ban card on Sung JiHan!

=Did losing in the first game hurt? Russia chooses to face the Sword Emperor!

Russia chose to face the Sword Emperor in the second game.

"I thought they would choose me as their opponent... Surprising."

Since it was related to the divine power.

I thought they would definitely focus on themselves.

"Well, bans and selects are the Russian coach's job."

Sung JiHan decided to observe the situation for now.

"It's my turn this time. I'll be back, brother-in-law."

Yoon SeJin slowly stood up from his seat.

Unable to see the game with his own eyes and only hearing the commentary, he asked Sung JiHan a question.

"I heard that Vladimir has become stronger. How strong is he?"

"He's very strong. He has a regenerative power stronger than an elf, and even if his form is destroyed, he can attack by moving his blood droplets."

"Hmm... That sounds difficult to deal with."

"Yes. He was also trying to release his aura on my body, so if I allow him to attack once, I might get tired."

"I'll be careful."

The two of them continued their conversation, facing Vladimir.

"Well, do we need to be careful?"

"Yes?"

However, the national team coach, No YoungJoon, interrupted their heated discussion.

"We can also ban Vladimir. Sung JiHan."

"Ah."

"I see."

Ban cards are not something only the other side can use.

In the first game, several people used random ban cards because they didn't know Vladimir was that strong.

But now that they know Vladimir is the key card for Russia, they can focus on banning him.

"If you want to face him again, please hold back this time. We need to win the first series, don't we?"

"Well, there's a shortcut, so there's no need to go the long way."

"I will follow the coach's instructions."

And so, the second game where Sung JiHan and Vladimir were banned.

"Ah. The Sword Emperor. I summon the White Sword. 100 swords are flying towards the enemies!"

"Seeing Yoon SeJin, who slaughters the enemies with swordsmanship in the national team, is truly moving!"

"Swords are pouring down from the sky like rain. The enemies can't properly block a single sword!"

The Sword Emperor completely crushed the White Sword.

"Can only you ban us? We can do it too, lol."

"We're comfortable because we have two key cards."

"Is it true that you can only ban a specific player twice in a series?"

"You can ban them three or four times. However, from the third time, it depends on probability."

"Yeah, from the third time, it's a 50% chance."

In three games, if Sung JiHan was banned three times.

The last ban card option could be a 50% chance or not.

"Then Vladimir can just ban until the next game."

- Yeah, since 2nd game is impossible to come out, we just have to finish the game in the 3rd match.

- That's right. If we drag it out until the 4th game, it'll become a probability fight and we won't be able to win.

- Winning the first game was important, haha.

In the first game, not banning Vladimir worked out well this time.

If we ban him in the 2nd and 3rd games.

Korea could easily win 3:0.

"It was an easy game."

Yoon Sejin, the King of Swords, returned after winning the MVP in the first two games.

"I wanted to face Vladimir once, but it seems like I won't get the chance."

"We'll meet again anyway since it's a league match."

"That's true. We played against Russia so many times before. We should face them next time."

They already considered the game to be over.

If Vladimir is banned in the next game.

In fact, there weren't many variables in the game.

However.

=Korea bans Vladimir! Russia, once again, bans Sung JiHan!

=Haha. This will be a repeat of the second game, right? The map selection is important, though......

=That's right. From the 3rd game, we can choose a map where only specific classes can participate. Coach No Youngjun's map selection is Valhalla! It's a map for warriors!

=It's a map that perfectly showcases our strengths!

=And Russia's selection is...... Oh. It's "Golem Duel"!

There were still variables in the game.

"If it's Golem Duel......"

"Isn't that a support map?"

"That's right. It's a map that often comes up during support promotion matches."

A special map where only specific classes can participate.

Korea trusted their strong warriors and chose Valhalla.

Russia, on the other hand, believed in the power of their support, who they considered to be superior, and chose Golem Duel.

"This...... will the outcome be determined by the map?"

"Is Russia's support stronger than ours?"

"It seems so."

Warrior and Archer classes were considered strong for Korea.

Mage and support were considered strong for Russia.

Of course.

There was a variable that could overturn such evaluations.

"My class is useless on this map."

Golem Duel was a unique case among support-exclusive maps.

Supports who had developed their ability to care for their teammates instead of combat.

When they faced promotion matches, they either played the game as a team or had separate matches for supports only.

Golem Duel was one of those maps.

Supports gave buffs to the golems assigned to them and fought on their behalf.

They used healing magic appropriately and gave buffs according to the situation.

In Golem Duel, the golem that they represented had to win the battle.

In this map, powers other than supports were completely useless.

Supports couldn't intervene in combat other than providing buffs and heals.

"This map could completely shut me down."

Among support-exclusive maps, Golem Duel was the most restrictive for Sung JiHan.

If they were fighting on the same battlefield as the golems, Sung JiHan could just take the lead and defeat them all.

But this was a completely separate space, where they only provided buffs from the outside.

It was a map that was essentially his archenemy.

"This map...... it seems like we'll bring it a lot against Korea."

Sung JiHan saw this game as an opportunity for other countries to bring out the Golem Duel card and wondered which map would be chosen.

"Oh......! Golem Duel map was chosen!"

"In the 3rd game, it seems like Russia's coach had better luck!"

"In this case...... everything depends on the abilities of the supports."

"Generally, Russia's supports are considered to be one step ahead of Korea's supports, but......"

=But the difference isn't that big! Supporters of South Korea! We can narrow this gap as much as we want!

While the commentators were disappointed about the Golem Duel map being chosen.

The supporters argued that they could win if they did their best.

But the public...

- Look at the commentators trying to hype it up lol. There's a clear difference between Russia and our supporters lolololol

- Golem Duel is a game where the buff effect is the most important, so they definitely can't win, right?

- It's going to be a 4-game series lolololol

- Ah, what is Sung JiHan doing! Hurry up and defeat Sofia and naturalize her!

- Sung JiHan already has a wife;;

- It's for the country. Find one more person to date!

- The country recommends having two legs ㄷㄷㄷ

They already secured the 4-game series.

And the game unfolded just as expected.

=Ah... the Golem. It's going to explode...!

=The Russian supporters are strong.

=It looks like it's going to be a 4-game series!

=If it goes like this, Vladimir's ban will be lifted...!

2:1.

South Korea's lead remained, but the variable Vladimir, who had been completely blocked, was unleashed in the game.

There was a slight tension among the national team.

"This... won't end easily."

"That's how it turned out."

"If the map selection is the same as last time, it would be better to ban the enemy supporter instead of Vladimir, who can't be banned."

"Since the ban comes first, we can't know what map will be chosen."

"Russia will obviously not choose a supporter map, right?"

2:0.

In a desperate moment, Russia chose the map well and secured victory.

Of course, they will try to use the winning formula from the 3rd game again.

"If the enemy chooses a mage map, our brother will destroy them all."

"We can handle a supporter map as long as it's not Golem Duel. Once we step onto the battlefield, it's over."

"Haha. That's true. I hope Russia only gets Golem Duel."

As everyone expected Russia to struggle on the Golem Duel map,

At the 4th game coach's table, the ban cards were revealed first, Vladimir and Yoon Se-jin.

And then, the select card revealed by the Russian side was...

[Valkyrie]

It was unexpected.

"Valkyrie?!"

"Are they crazy?"

"They must really trust Vladimir..."

They discarded the winning card shown in the 3rd game and chose the map that South Korea wanted.

Russia chose Valkyrie.

=Russia...

=I don't understand this choice...

=Are they trying to give Vladimir another chance?

The commentators also expressed their doubts.

The screen focused on the Russian coach, who was sitting with a gloomy face.

Sung JiHan roughly understood when he saw that.

"It doesn't seem like his own will."

Vladimir.

No, the person related to the deity inside him must have led this.

I don't know why they would take the risk of being banned with a 50% chance.

"It's not about Russia's victory. It's about the person related to the deity."

He would only seek revenge in the first game.

Sung JiHan smirked and stood up from his seat.

"Let's finish this series."
