The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 201

"Uncle, why suddenly the hill...?"

"What I mentioned earlier is this."

"Oh, a premonition dream?"

"Yes. Let's go together, everyone."

"Yes, understood!"

Listening to the story of the premonition dream, the TOP 100 followed Sung JiHan.

They watched as the undead dug up the ground, their faces filled with astonishment.

Thud! Thud!

With swords and spears, the Death Knight Legion destroyed the hill with their respective weapons.

"So even the ground can be dug up with a sword..."

"They can even use the darkness of their swords. Those Death Knights seem to be quite powerful individuals."

"It must not have been easy to stop the first wave. Just look at them."

Seeing the power of the Death Knights, people naturally thought of the Space League.

From the first wave, formidable enemies kept appearing.

However...

Sung JiHan, who was giving orders to them, had a different thought.

"The first wave shouldn't be this strong."

No matter how strong the Space League was, the monsters that appeared in this promotion battle shouldn't be this strong.

It was customary to balance things out to allow for appropriate countermeasures.

But the Death Knights they were seeing now far exceeded that level.

"Is it because of the power of death?"

Not only did they perfectly control these countless undead, but they also strengthened them.

The power granted by the Throne of the Dead Star had a significant effect.

When it came to dealing with the undead, a necromancer would want such abilities no matter what.

"It's useful, but it's not my taste."

However, Sung JiHan, who was actually using it, felt uneasy.

He was more suited to fighting directly rather than dealing with the undead.

Despite the significant enhancement of the Death Knights, he wasn't satisfied and tried to find a way to apply it to himself.

"Let's try applying it to my body first."

Ssshhh...

A crimson light spread throughout Sung JiHan's body, partially obscuring his appearance.

His body felt lighter, as if he had received a powerful blessing magic.

The buff was effective.

Sung JiHan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"After gaining the Spirit, the blessing effect was useless to me, but this is different."

Sung JiHan, who couldn't fully tap into the potential of the Spirit, felt the additional abilities granted by the power of death.

Of course, compared to the Death Knights becoming twice or three times stronger, the effect was only about 20 percent.

"This is nothing."

The gaze of Sung JiHan, who had been uneasy just a moment ago, clearly changed.

He had to secure the 20 percent enhancement somehow.

As Sung JiHan tried to absorb more of the power of death into his body...

"I'm alive."

"It is impossible to fully merge with the power of death."

A warning message appeared in the system.

"If you want to see more effects, do you have to become a dead person like those undead?"

Even in the state of a reaper, it seemed that as long as he was alive, he couldn't go any further.

While Sung JiHan was deeply researching the power of death...

"Uncle! Over there! What came out?"

Yoon Sae-ah urgently called out to him.

She pointed to the hill that the undead had been digging for a while.

Shoooo...

Through the gaps between the swords digging up the hill, white smoke suddenly emerged.

"Ah...!"

"The Death Knights disappeared?!"

The Death Knight unit, who were digging the ground, were instantly buried in it.

And in an instant, the hill disappeared, engulfed in smoke.

In that place filled with pure white mist.

Sssss....

One by one, something began to emerge.

"What, what is that?"

"...Skulls?"

What emerged from the smoke were skulls of various beings.

Including those of the Death Knights that were absorbed earlier, and even the skulls of giant monsters.

Skulls of various colors emitting a faint light from empty eye sockets.

They all turned to look at the group of Sung JiHan.

"How dare you disturb our resting place..."

"Stop... Let us rest..."

"Or... Will you come as well?"

Eerie voices bursting out from thousands of skulls.

It was intense enough to startle even players who had reached the Diamond rank.

"Ugh..."

"My body... won't move. Protective magic...!"

"Divine Shield!"

"Hoo, hoo..."

Only after the support members' divine power was applied, could they barely withstand the sound.

But...

"Hehehehehe..."

As thousands of skulls laughed together, cracks began to appear in the divine protection barrier.

An intense and eerie laughter.

Even though he was a Platinum player, only a hundred people were selected to fly in the sky on Earth.

It was difficult to withstand the laughter of such a gigantic enemy.

"Oh... It feels like suddenly meeting the final boss!"

"Sung JiHan! Was it the right choice to dig the ground...? Even the undead army we were barely dealing with is being completely devoured!"

"Don't you trust Sung JiHan? His choices have always been right! Doesn't he have precognitive dreams?"

"If he succeeds this time too, I'm sure we'll believe in him!"

"I wonder what hint he got in his dream this time?"

Sung JiHan must have some kind of plan to face such monsters, right?

The viewers all watched the screen with anticipation, wondering what solution he had prepared.

Step by step.

In a state where he was partially accepting the aura of death, Sung JiHan approached the cluster of skulls.

He reached out his hand and released his power.

And then.

Thousands of skulls all turned to look at Sung JiHan.

"Is this... the aura of a god?"

"How can a living being..."

Thus, the cluster of skulls hesitated for a moment.

"Oh... Does the power that controlled the Death Knights work here too?"

"Indeed, Sung JiHan had a backup plan!"

The commentators, seeing that scene, already started talking as if the situation was over.

"How dare you try to control us!"

"You too, become one with us!"

Instead of succumbing to the aura of death, they showed intense hostility towards Sung JiHan.

"Kaaaaaah...."

As the skulls opened their mouths wide, white smoke rose up all at once.

They rushed towards Sung JiHan with great intensity.

Ironically, the situation only stimulated them with the aura of death.

"Div-Divine Shield!"

The players who were watching him from behind rushed to protect him, but Sung JiHan remained calm.

"He's not going down without a fight."

Even though he could control all the monsters in the first wave, it seemed impossible to defeat the hidden boss.

So there was no need to forcefully control something that didn't match his body.

"The Holy Seat quest... I just need to use the power of death, right?"

In an instant, a crimson light symbolizing the power of death surrounded Sung JiHan's fists.

"Wait, I'll be right back."

His new form was instantly sucked into the smoke.

"Haha, he's coming to become one with us...!"

"I'll be the one to drink his blood!"

"I'll have his flesh...!"

At first, the cluster of heads that mocked Sung JiHan's charge soon became flustered.

"No... why isn't it being assimilated?"

Bang! Bang!

Instead of devouring Sung JiHan, skulls were bursting from all directions.

"Well, nothing special."

As Sung JiHan started to move in earnest, dozens of skulls burst out in an instant.

* * *

"Ah...!"

"So this is the method Sung JiHan came up with!"

"Warriors truly speak with their fists! He's showing the essence of a warrior!"

Having gone through the battlefield of chaos, Sung JiHan, who was considered the strongest warrior despite being a platinum, solved the game using the methods of a warrior once again.

Half-transformed with the power of death, he didn't receive any damage from the attacks of the ghost cluster.

"This can't go on...!"

"Control it. Quickly! Swallow the author!"

"But where is he...?"

"He's too fast!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of the skulls, Sung JiHan struck faster.

Crack! Crack!

He shattered the skull bones even faster.

He continued to fight for a while.

Shhh...

As the smoke that completely occupied the hill decreased noticeably, Sung JiHan suddenly popped out.

"Come."

He reached out his hand and emitted the power of death once again.

"Now, how about this?"

Showing the difference in power, Sung JiHan used the power of death once again.

"How dare you... try to control us!"

"I am the dead. Are you afraid of extinction?"

But the enemy's attitude remained stubborn.

"Weren't you scared? You were desperately running away to avoid your head from being crushed."

"Don't insult us!"

"Is that so? Then, here I go again."

"Wait..."

Sung JiHan gave up on control and entered once again.

As the sound of breaking continued for a while, the smoke occupying the hill decreased by a quarter.

He came out again.

"Now?"

As the red energy once again shone from Sung JiHan's hand.

Sss......

[This... I can't endure it...]

[To the messenger, obey.]

[Give me the order.]

The initial rebelliousness completely disappeared.

The skull of the enemy, reduced to 1/4 of its original size, simultaneously pledged loyalty to Sung JiHan.

[Under the dominion of the 'Fallen King's Soul.']

[The power of death is greatly enhanced.]

Then, an even stronger aura of death.

However, Sung JiHan paid more attention to the name of the cluster that appeared in the system.

'Fallen King...'

A king, with only a skull remaining.

It reminded him of the dead star's seat that rambled on about its head.

He decided to slowly investigate this place.

"Guide me to your cemetery."

He decided to target the special point on the map.

[This is it.]

Then, the ethereal body of the fallen king's soul faded, and the remaining hill that had not yet been excavated disappeared in an instant.

And what was revealed there was a massive triangular building.

At the bottom, a giant skull supported it, and on top, a pyramid of reversed flesh and blood created a grotesque appearance.

At regular intervals, there were dense clusters of undead nearby.

[Grroooan...]

And every time, undead creatures were created in the smoke.

Beings similar to the Death Knights that Sung JiHan had dominated earlier were summoned from within.

'A cemetery that creates undead... It's been a while since I've seen one.'

A cemetery that creates undead for the monster wave in the giant graveyard map.

This time, perhaps because all the undead from the first wave were devoured by the fallen king's soul, production took a while.

And when the Death Knights were somewhat completed.

Flash! Flash!

Portals were created in the north, south, east, and west of the pyramid, and the skull at the bottom turned its head to the west.

[Advance!]

Creak...

Red light spewed from the eyes of the skull at the bottom.

An undead army headed towards the western portal following it.

'Our portal is in the west.'

A cemetery that creates and sends undead for the monster wave.

The default portal position that the skull at the bottom had chosen was the giant graveyard assigned to the current TOP 100.

'The elves occupied the cemetery and turned its head.'

The competition that the opposing team showed sneakily during the broadcast, showing what they were doing.

By watching it, Sung JiHan was able to understand why the elves' planet always ranked first.

The elves dug up the hill with the spirits of the land, threw special sacred items at the fallen king's soul, weakened it, and entered here to turn the head of the skull at the bottom.

'Although we can't know which direction the portals in the east, south, and north are facing, they are completely random... But I'd rather send them to the elves if possible.'

The opponent that Sung JiHan needed to suppress the most in this competition was undoubtedly the elves.

Urck was a weak race that fought for the bottom rank even in the previous life, so there was no need to suppress them.

Mechan always managed to stay in the middle rank, but its presence was weaker than that of the elves.

If possible, he wanted to bring down the first place.

"Wait a moment."

He immediately dominated the summoned undead army and entered the portal in the north to find the elves.

And...

"What, what is this? Why from the portal...!?"

Luckily, he immediately found the elves there.
