The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 211

Longinus looked at Dongbangsak as if he couldn't believe it.

"A god and a fellow race... Are you saying that Sung JiHan is not human but a divine race?"

"A divine race..."

Dongbangsak stroked his beard.

"A divine race is a concept that is difficult to define as one. Among the races in BattleNet, those who belong to the transcendent class are usually called divine races. There are divine races that are humanoid, and there are many that are grotesque and strange-looking."

"That may be true... but don't divine races have any common characteristics?"

"Characteristics of divine races... What are they?"

"Those who have been recognized as 'divine races' in BattleNet."

In the universe, BattleNet is a platform where various races participate.

To be classified as a divine race, one had to receive official recognition from BattleNet.

Before that, no matter how powerful a race was, it couldn't be classified as a divine race.

"Recognition from BattleNet... That's right. Before that, they were nothing more than half-divine races, no matter how strong they were. And Sung JiHan, it is certain that he is a divine race who has received the official recognition of BattleNet."

"Then Sung JiHan is also a divine race, right?"

"No, not exactly."

"...Didn't you say he was a fellow of the god?"

Longinus questioned as if wondering what he was talking about.

Thud.

Dongbangsak plucked a strand of his beard.

"If he is a divine race, he cannot participate in the Space League, Bronze. Isn't that a different level? He couldn't have come out as a member of humanity."

"That's true, but..."

Then why did you call him a fellow?

When Longinus looked at Dongbangsak with a puzzled expression.

Sss...

Smoke rose from the plucked beard.

Then the smoke drew the Chinese character for Dongbangsak and floated in the air.

"I called him a fellow because he saw the character of the divine race."

"The character of the divine race?"

"Yes. You were absorbed into the spear of the divine race as an avatar. At that time, you couldn't see the scene in detail... but he was definitely staring at something in the smoke of the spear. Just like what the god did."

Longinus' expression became serious.

He also knew the meaning of the purple characters that came out of the spear of the divine race.

He had been allowed to use the spear and every time he used it, the characters appeared.

He had tried to memorize the shape and interpret the meaning of this character, but he couldn't find any relevant information even after searching through various scripts from around the world.

Only the god.

Only the god knew this character...

"...That's surprising. To be able to read the characters that only the god sees. But isn't it too hasty to assume that he is a fellow just because of that?"

"When I use the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams like you, don't the same characters sometimes appear?"

Longinus nodded.

When he used the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, the form of Dongbangsak's Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams before it was improved into the Divine Bow and Arrow would sometimes come to mind, just like the unique characters in the spear of the divine race.

"At that time, the god once said that this is the script of the same race."

"A same race... Did you guess that I am a fellow just because of that?"

"Yes. The evidence is weak. So it's still in the stage of speculation. One, the fact that the soul was given to him... and the god and he are clearly closely related."

"Hmm... That may be true, but..."

The script of the clan.

Upon seeing Longinus's perplexed face, Dongbangsak stroked his beard.

"Sung JiHan. We must use him well. If we can understand the meaning of the script through him... we might be able to find clues related to our 'stolen business.'"

"Hmm..."

"So, the divine spear is blocked, and we shouldn't try to kill him by descending to Earth."

"That's too much. How can you...! I'm not someone who seeks revenge like that."

"Is that so? Well, that's fortunate."

Dongbangsak looked up at the ceiling.

The enlarged cork of the bottle was slightly shaking.

"Now we can't hide anymore. Let's go out and see."

"Understood."

Pong!

As the cork opened, the two flew out through the opening.

'Sung JiHan can read the script...'

Longinus, behind Dongbangsak, was lost in thought with a complicated expression on his face.

***

The Training Ground of Emptiness.

As soon as Sung JiHan arrived home, he immediately headed to this place.

Technically, he could have entered the training ground from the Battle.net Center as well.

'Even though I could spend a few days training there, it's not that convenient.'

Even if he was given 5.5 times more time in the training ground, he didn't know when the training would end.

So he chose to comfortably enter the training ground after returning home.

'The sensation when pierced by the divine spear. I have to make it mine before I forget.'

The manifestation of the divine spear by Longinus.

When it was stuck in his body, the movements that had occurred inside were quite refreshing to Sung JiHan.

The sense of touch that was not bothered by the sense of pain when his body disappeared, the ethereal and empty movements.

'At first... did I do it like this?'

Sung JiHan, who was trying to follow the flow from a little while ago.

[Recent battle records are saved.]

[Would you like to use the replay function?]

His eyes sparkled when he saw the system message.

'Replay... There was such a function.'

The Training Ground of Emptiness he obtained after the promotion battle.

The replay function was not activated immediately after obtaining it.

But after playing a game afterwards, it seemed like this function had opened.

"I'll use it."

The best way to study is always reviewing.

When Sung JiHan tried to use the replay, he saw another system message.

"The current replay slot cannot save the data."

"Would you like to upgrade the replay slot to the highest level?"

"Upgrading the slot will consume 1 million achievement points."

"1 million?"

1 million achievement points.

This was the value he paid when he opened the training ground in the other world.

But why does it cost this much to upgrade the replay storage space?

Sung JiHan was speechless, but...

"....But there are still a lot of achievement points left. Let's think of it as an investment."

Upgrading the slot won't take it anywhere.

Sung JiHan boldly invested 1 million.

And then...

[Today's battle record has been saved in the replay slot.]

[Players can replay the battle record from their own first-person perspective and from the third-person perspective shown by the BattleNet camera.]

The battle records of the first match and the fourth match in which Sung JiHan participated have been saved.

"This interface is similar to the BattleTube editing screen...."

Based on his previous experience, Sung JiHan also had some knowledge of BattleTube editing.

He skillfully edited the saved battle records.

"There's nothing important in the first match scene...."

The only important moment was when he was stabbed by the spear of the Divine Spear.

Sung JiHan decided to delete the record of the first match and focus only on the replay of the fourth match.

"The letters didn't appear in the third-person perspective...."

The third-person mode seen from the viewer's perspective.

The letters that appeared from the Longinus' spear didn't appear there.

Sung JiHan was impaled on the spear, and his body was pierced, even if he slowed down the playback speed, it happened in an instant.

"It's not very helpful. This mode."

After finishing the inspection of the third-person mode, Sung JiHan entered the first-person mode in earnest.

Thunk!

The spear was stuck in the cross. Smoke rose.

[Target condition, partially matched.]

[Annihilation code detected.]

There, the letters that were not visible in the third-person mode appeared.

He couldn't tell where the letters were from.

Strangely, he could understand the content of the letters.

"Oh, in replay mode, play, pause, speed control, everything is possible."

Sung JiHan watched the letters for a moment while the replay was paused.

This time, he lowered the playback speed and once again experienced the effect of the Divine Spear on his body.

"This... was worth 1 million."

The slower he played it repeatedly.

Sung JiHan learned more about the Divine Spear, one by one.

At first, he wondered why he had to spend 1 million achievement points on a replay mode.

But as he learned more about the Divine Spear, he felt that it was actually a cheap price.

"Playing it slowly makes the sensory perception last longer, although it's annoying."

Slowing down the playback makes the sensory perception last longer.

But since he couldn't block his senses, Sung JiHan continued to search for answers even in the midst of the repeated pain.

"Annihilation code detected... This method is unique."

The annihilation code of the Divine Spear, which suppresses the soul by combining with the Void.

But before Sung JiHan could find the Void within his body.

When he pierced through the Iron Blood Cross, there was no Void to combine with the Divine Spear.

Then, what caused the solid Iron Blood Cross to be destroyed in an instant?

"Let's play it even slower."

The starting point of the stab.

Sung JiHan went back to that moment and replayed it at a slower speed.

"I can't grasp it at this level."

Even slower.

Sung JiHan watched the process of the window being pierced, over and over again, more than a hundred times.

He continued to feel it in his body.

If it wasn't in replay mode, he would have missed one piece of information after another and put the puzzle together.

"From the moment the window was pierced, there was a strange flow inside the cross."

"When the annihilation code was manifested, the Iron Blood Cross responded from the inside."

"The foundation of the Iron Blood Cross is the soul. The annihilation code... ignited the soul fundamentally."

The flame that burned the soul in an instant and disappeared.

It could only be sensed for a moment after slowing down the playback speed to the maximum.

"When the target condition, partial match, appeared, the void briefly came to mind."

"That became the fuel to burn the soul of the cross...."

The starting point that eliminated the Iron Blood Cross and pierced Sung JiHan's body.

It was the flame of the void that blossomed through the manifestation of the annihilation code.

It ignited in an instant.

It extinguished in an instant, and the flame of the void that couldn't be noticed before playing at the slowest speed.

"Can I use this too?"

Sung JiHan's eyes sparkled.

If he could make use of it, this could become his most powerful weapon.

Sung JiHan finished the playback like that.

"Should I use it like this?"

"No. This is a waste. Starting from the target condition...."

"The annihilation code. I need to look at it again."

In order to use the flame of the void, he went through countless trials and errors.

And.

February 11th.

"Hmm...."

Sung JiHan, who had been in the void training ground for over 50 days,

"...Originally, this wasn't the goal."

At the tip of the Bonghwanggi's spear.

He blinked his eyes while looking at the intensified enemy lightning.

The original goal was to manipulate the flame of the void.

"Enemy lightning... is it complete?"

An entirely unexpected result came out.

He only mixed in an incomplete enemy lightning in order to produce the flame of the void....

"No, the Brain God might have a different idea."

To Sung JiHan, it seemed like a complete enemy lightning.

But from the perspective of the Lightning God, there might still be many shortcomings.

To confirm, Sung JiHan left the training ground and logged into the game, entering the Lightning God's Throne map.

"Brain God, I brought the enemy lightning."

And thus, he presented the enemy lightning.

"Ohhh...! This level of completion...."

"Is it enough?"

"Sufficient! It's more than enough!"

He received the passing score from the Brain God.
