The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 262

Space League match against the Dragons.

Looking at the state of the game during the first match, it seemed like humanity was losing with a score of 3:0.

However, the result was a 3:1 victory for humanity.

= The representative of the Dragons. I regret giving Sung JiHan two wins like this!

= That's right! I didn't even realize we would be so one-sidedly behind in the fourth match!

= Humanity is racing with joy, winning three consecutive matches!

Humanity, who was in second place, pulled down the Dragons and rose to fifth place.

- Ah, three consecutive wins are so sweet~

- Why is Sung JiHan so strong by himself?? The skill gap is insane.

- It seems like he's getting stronger and stronger lol.

- When we faced him as enemies, I was so annoyed by all those things, but now that we're on the same side, it couldn't be better...

People who witnessed Sung JiHan's overwhelming power in the fourth match could fully understand how it feels to be on the same team as him.

- But Sung JiHan's honey will end soon... Next time, he'll be ranked first and get focused bans lol.

- It must be tough to keep staying in second place, right?

- That seems impossible. If that were the case, Sung JiHan shouldn't play the game at all, right?

- We should be satisfied with banning the opponents' cards.

- But still, when we face a team that doesn't know about Sung JiHan, we won't ban him right away. Then we won't get a win in the series, right?

- So we'll always have a record of 1 win and 3 losses? Ugh.

The viewers, while worrying that Sung JiHan will face concentrated suppression after becoming the top-ranked player, still enjoyed today's victory for now.

Meanwhile,

After the BattleNet game ended, Red Dragon Altkaizen was summoned back to the coach's office.

[...I can't believe it. To lose like this... How could such a mutation come from a lowly species? If I had known, I wouldn't have given him two wins...]

The confident momentum he had when giving two wins in the beginning was nowhere to be found, and he kept repeating that he couldn't believe it, with his head bowed low.

[After a while, you will be logged out of the coach's office.]

Sung JiHan looked at the system message that appeared before him and asked Altkaizen.

"Hey. Do you know anything about the Dragon Lord?"

[...Why are you suddenly talking about the Dragon Lord?]

"Maybe you'll become my sponsor."

[What, what?!]

Altkaizen raised his head in surprise at Sung JiHan's words.

[That can't be... How could the Lord sponsor a lowly person like you?!]

"Who got fooled by a lowly guy?"

[Kuh...!]

"Anyway, do you know anything?"

[...Even if I do, do you think I would tell you?]

"I guess you don't know. It's really far-fetched."

[...]

Since there was still time until logout, Sung JiHan asked out of curiosity, not expecting much from Altkaizen's side.

He was about to log out in that state, but...

[Sponsor Seat 'Seat of the Dead Star' has sent an urgent message.]

[Blocked seat. Would you like to unblock it?]

Just like when the Cosmic Tree Egdrazil proposed to Sung JiHan before, the sponsor seat 'Seat of the Dead Star' sent him an urgent message.

"I guess I should unblock it for now."

Although the Seat of the Dead Star kept telling him to become a head, it was still useful for obtaining information.

When Sung JiHan unblocked it, the Seat of the Dead Star quickly sent him a message.

[The sponsor seat 'Seat of the Dead Star' recommends you to receive the sponsorship of the Dragon Lord.]

"However, it is emphasized that he should not easily give in to what he wants."

"Do you recommend receiving sponsorship?"

Unexpected.

Sung JiHan's eyes widened.

When it came to the Cosmic Yggdrasil, he opposed it, but when it came to the Dragon Lord, he was rather positive.

"I want to ask other Archbishops as well, but the Brain God is already finished with the Godless."

The disappeared 'Brain God' in the Sponsorship Archdiocese.

Instead of the Brain God, Sung JiHan asked Ariel, who had been silent all along when fighting the dragon.

In fact, he even speculated that Ariel herself was the Shadow Queen of the Archdiocese.

He thought she might have some information.

"Ariel, do your Shadow Elves know anything about the Dragon Lord?"

[...We do know, but we cannot mention it. However.]

"However?"

[Since the Master has already been marked as an enemy of the World Tree Elves, it would be worth listening to the story.]

Sung JiHan raised his head.

Since he had a strained relationship with the World Tree Elves anyway, it didn't matter.

"Is the Dragon Lord an enemy of the Elves? But the dragon seems to be too submissive to the elves."

[What? Submissive...!]

"Isn't that right? You were always getting angry and saying otherwise."

[This guy...!]

Even though Altkaizen, who was on the other side of the director's waiting room, got angry, Sung JiHan calmly retorted.

After fighting directly, he realized that the dragon was definitely not an opponent to be underestimated by the elves.

But looking at the fact that the dragon was always pushed back by the elves when he was demoted in his previous life, and even Altkaizen, who could only get angry and deny it when the elves were mentioned.

The relationship between dragons and elves seemed to be clearly in favor of the elves.

"I should listen to the story at least once."

Sung JiHan pressed 'yes' to the sponsorship message proposed by the Dragon Lord.

Then.

[Player Sung JiHan accepts the sponsorship proposal from the Grand Archdiocese 'Dragon Lord'.]

[The Grand Archdiocese 'Dragon Lord' is trying to summon the player as his rare for full sponsorship.]

[Player Sung JiHan does not have the qualification of an Archdiocese and therefore does not qualify to respond to the summon of the 'Grand Archdiocese'.]

System messages appeared one after another.

The message that the summon was impossible because he was not an Archdiocese.

"The conditions are quite strict."

The condition to go to the Dragon Lord's rare was the qualification of an Archdiocese.

Does this mean that the sponsorship process will not be properly carried out?

While Sung JiHan was thinking that he might have given the sponsorship Archdiocese for no reason while looking at this message.

Thud...!

Altkaizen's body on the other side of the director's office suddenly began to twist.

[Ku. Kua...!]

The Red Dragon, who couldn't even scream properly because his head was completely twisted.

Not long after, flames erupted from his head.

And within it, a voice different from Altkaizen's could be heard.

[Hmm... I see. So this was the Bronze League. I thought it was an Archdiocese, of course...]

"Dragon Lord?"

[That's right.]

Roar...!

The flames that started from Altkaizen's head continued to burn.

Before he knew it, Sung JiHan had completely swallowed his body.

At first, the fire seemed to be in the form of a dragon, but it condensed into a massive sphere.

[It's rather impressive. Even though you're not a Saint, you possess such talent.]

"Why did you sponsor me?"

[If you become my Rare, I'll tell you.]

The Dragon Lord didn't want to have a detailed conversation outside.

Is this really the end?

Swoosh.

Sung JiHan reached out his palm towards the massive sphere.

"So until I become a Saint, there won't be any sponsorship? Great Saint."

[You're audacious. It's a good attitude. You have to demand what you want.]

Shooooo...!

The flames in the massive sphere were extinguished in an instant.

What appeared in the extinguished flames was a fist-sized red gem.

"This is...?"

"It's a Dragon Heart."

"Is it the Red Dragon from earlier?"

"That's right."

"Then is that guy dead?"

"No. He's not dead yet. He's sealed within the Dragon Heart."

Whoosh!

Before the Dragon Lord finished speaking, flames surged up from the gem.

"In order for my descendants to survive, they will continue to wield the flames."

"Hmm..."

"You, dominate the Dragon Heart and suppress such rebellion. You can completely extinguish the flames and absorb them, or you can make them your own, including the flames. Whatever you become, if you make the Dragon Heart yours... I will give you an even greater gift later."

The Dragon Lord, the ancestor who wanted his descendants to be firmly controlled.

Sung JiHan couldn't grasp why the Dragon Lord was giving him this, but...

"For now, let's accept it."

Because the power of the flames shown by the Dragon Heart was overwhelming, he decided to take it for now.

"Alright. I'll become a Saint as soon as possible."

"Understood. But can I ask you one thing?"

"What is it?"

"What is a Great Saint?"

"It is a being one level higher than a Saint. It is also a qualification that is essential to become a Battle Net administrator."

"So it's a lower rank under the administrator."

"That's right."

Sung JiHan nodded and remembered the time when he received the Seed of Life from the Green Administrator.

"The Green Administrator... was an incredible being."

He thought that there couldn't be anyone like that when he received the suspicious seed as an apology, but it turned out to be a highly-ranked existence.

While the Dragon Lord was a lower rank under the administrator, the World Tree Elves already had an administrator.

Perhaps this is why the Elves have the upper hand over the Dragons.

"Well... I guess I can ask the Dragon Lord about the Elves after all."

It would have been fine to ask Red Dragon Altkaizen directly since he didn't have any regrets, but there was no need to ask sensitive questions to the Dragon Lord, who might sponsor him.

"Understood. I'll do my best."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Flash!

After the Dragon Lord disappeared.

[Logging out.]

As if the Battle.net system had been waiting for him to leave, it ejected Sung JiHan from the control room.

And.

"Ah, Sung JiHan! You finally came out!"

"Was there something going on inside?"

The reporters who had been waiting in advance to interview the winner, Sung JiHan, asked him questions.

"Did I come out late?"

"Yes. When Davis was the coach, he would log out immediately from the control room after the game ended. But this time, it's already been an hour..."

"People were worried."

"It's been an hour?"

The conversation with the Dragon Lord wasn't that long.

"Interesting."

Is this also the power of the Great Sage?

Thinking that, Sung JiHan conversed with the reporters.

"Sung JiHan! Can we do the winner's interview?"

"But... what is that giant ruby you're holding in your hand?"

"Oh, this. I received it as a gift from the dragon."

"The, the dragon?"

"Yes. It gave it to me generously."

Hwarr...

As if the Dragon Heart in Sung JiHan's hand was reacting to those words, flames flickered, but...

"Th-the fire...!"

"Ah, it's okay."

Sung JiHan calmly absorbed the energy of the fire into his body and his eyes glowed.

"This is quite useful."

The mana of the Dragon Heart.

Its purity was far superior than expected.

"Let's do the interview then."

"Yes. Understood!"

Sung JiHan conducted the winner's interview with a smile, unexpected item acquisition.

* * *

Humanity achieved three consecutive victories in the Space League and rose to 5th place.

They were sailing smoothly in the league, receiving less threats from dungeon portals than before.

-The GP exchange rate is low, and it's definitely worth buying more.

-I failed when I tried to hoard GP... I thought I would lose at least once.

-I should have trusted Sung JiHan, where did all the opposing bets come from?

-LOL, it's like betting on humanity's downfall.

There were a few victims, but most people were feeling relieved, looking at the stable world and enjoying the victory while coming together regardless of nationality or race.

But, this was only temporary.

[The first three games in the Space League have ended.]

[From now on, bonuses will be given to all races for a smooth league progress.]

[Please select a bonus item.]

A seed of discord fell from Battle.net to the harmonious humanity.
