The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 196

Yoon Se-ah calmly turned around without being startled by the sudden voice.

A man with a black mask on his hat, a giant figure, stood with his arms crossed, silently looking down at her.

Seeing that he had entered the hospital room without any signs, she was certain that he was a player.

"...Why do I have to die?"

In response to Yoon Se-ah's question, he reached out his hand to her.

In his hand was a yellow talisman.

"You're a brave child. Blame your gift."

"...What? My gift?"

"Miss, you said you can't go to the Gold, right?"

"What on earth... are you talking about?"

"There is such a thing."

Tap.

"Kang Si-hwa."

As he attached the talisman to Yoon Se-ah's forehead, her body stiffened.

With her pupils dilated and her vital functions stopped, she was in a state of paralysis.

"Get up. My servant."

And in that state, Yoon Se-ah got up from the bed and slowly walked towards the window.

Creak.

Yoon Se-ah opened the window herself and fell outside.

"Success."

The masked man wiped away his traces once again and licked his tongue.

"Miss, even if you push so hard, you can't go to the Gold and resort to murder..."

With that last word, the man disappeared.

And not long after.

"Se-ah. Uh... Se-ah, where did she go?"

Sung JiHan, who had finished the call outside, looked around the hospital room with a puzzled expression.

The illusion was over.

"Uh..."

Including Sung JiHan and his party, even Christoph and Sofia.

When the illusion ended, they all looked at Yoon Se-ah with surprise.

Especially the most bewildered one.

"What is this? Why did I die?"

There was Yoon Se-ah, who had died there.

"Why were you even in the hospital in the first place? Uncle... why did you take out a loan?"

"...Even though I'm blind, I saw this illusion. A man who uses Kang Si-sul... Who is he? We need to investigate and eliminate him immediately."

No matter how much it was an illusion, Yoon Se-jin was greatly shocked to see her daughter being killed.

With his fist clenched, his body trembling.

Yoon Se-ah thought carefully and recalled a hint from the murderer's words.

The girl who couldn't go to the Gold.

And her gift.

Could this be the story of Jin Yu-hwa from China that Sung JiHan eliminated last time?

"Oh! Uncle, but what the murderer said...!"

"That's enough. It may be a long-standing grudge, but it's not the time to bring it up here."

"...What is it?"

Sung JiHan quickly interrupted, preventing Yoon Se-ah from talking about the long-standing grudge.

'This illusion seems to have reproduced the events of the previous life...'

Sung JiHan bit his lip as he saw scenes related to Yoon Se-ah's death that he didn't even know about.

If he had known that she was murdered, not committed suicide, in the previous life.

He would have killed Jin Yu-hwa since the previous life.

It was regrettable that he had given her such a comfortable death this time.

'But how does my sister know about this? No, is she... really my sister?'

As the illusion of the previous life unfolded, Sung JiHan's doubts only grew.

"...There are still more giant dungeon portals left, so let's investigate them all. Christoph, is the next one possible?"

"Yes! It's possible. I also received the Akashic pages, so we have to put in effort!"

"Then let's depart right away."

And so, they arrived at the third dungeon portal.

With their hearts racing, Sung JiHan and Geomwang swiftly conquered the dungeon.

"Here it is!"

As soon as Christoph found the dungeon core, the other members of the investigation team became mere spectators, watching from behind.

"Wow... They're really fast."

"Was the giant dungeon this easy?"

"With the world's top warriors and S-class explorers, it's like bulldozing through."

"But isn't this the part that takes the longest in terms of travel time?"

"Isn't this useless for us?"

The investigation team watched in awe and disappointment as Sung JiHan conquered the dungeon.

"But why are we in such a hurry?"

"Maybe there's something related to the dungeon core that we need to investigate."

"Maybe they want to finish the North Korea exploration quickly and have Geomwang return."

"Ah, now they can start the league again. If they have good results, they'll probably send him back quickly."

"I'm going to the Korean Championship, hey!"

Since they didn't know about Sung JiHan's family situation, the investigation team concluded that Sung JiHan and his group were in a hurry because of the national competition.

Separated from the investigation team, Sung JiHan and his group, who had discovered the third dungeon core, said,

"Alright, Sae. Let's begin."

"Yes, Void Arrow."

Whoosh!

As the arrow of emptiness appeared, a burst of purple energy exploded.

And the group encountered another illusion.

---

Inside the dungeon portal, filled with a purple haze.

Thump. Thump.

Geomwang Yoon Se-jin entered the portal, with two necks impaled on the ends of his twin swords, restlessly moving inside.

The owner of the necks, although it was difficult to recognize due to the progressing corruption.

"Shizuru... and Akari?"

Sung JiHan could roughly identify the two.

"This must be what happened when my brother-in-law went missing in my previous life..."

In his previous life, Yoon Se-jin was the strongest warrior and continued to grow.

If a high elf could punch, he had grown to the point of wielding a neck sword.

So, when he was hit by the neck sword of the World Tree in a panic, he came out of the game.

The current illusion seemed to be an event that occurred after that day.

"You're... alive."

The current Geomwang, who had the Aegis Ring hanging around his neck.

He looked at something in the purple smoke.

Although the dark shadow rising from the smoke didn't reveal its form.

"Jia..."

Yoon Se-jin saw it and was certain it was Sung Ji-ah.

[Why did you come?]

"Why did you come! Now that I know you're alive, I have to take you out of here...!"

[Is that so? Then come this way.]

Saaa...

The black shadow grew larger, and an ominous energy overflowed.

Although it seemed like something they shouldn't enter no matter how you looked at it.

"...Alright."

Yoon Se-jin clenched his lips and entered it.

Then.

Thump. Thump.

As the two necks impaled on the twin swords fell, Akari's disappeared in flames.

Shizuru's began to turn a sickly color.

"I... I saw everything. Yoon Sejin."

"You saw...?"

"Yes. You abandoned your daughter and went to Japan. And then, Se-ah was killed... and she became the eternal prey of the monster... "

"..."

"I was already dead... so it was okay for me to meet a new woman. It didn't matter if I left the country after finding new love. But... what about our daughter? Was Se-ah only my daughter? Wasn't she your daughter too?"

In the darkness, Sung JiHan whispered softly to Yoon Sejin.

Upon hearing her words, Yoon Sejin knelt down on the ground.

"...I'm sorry. My sins were too great. That's why I wanted to set you free and die..."

"Die? Who said you could do that? That's a luxury. You should suffer more."

Sss...

Like the sound of a scissor.

Yoon Sejin's body began to be engulfed in darkness.

"The Witch of Emptiness commands. Become the apostle of the end, Asura. Yoon Sejin."

Crackle. Crackle.

As Yoon Sejin's body became uneven, a monster's arm protruded from within.

In an instant, he was no longer human.

Yoon Sejin had transformed into a monster with three heads and six arms.

He calmly looked at his own appearance and lowered his head.

"Go to China and seek revenge for our daughter. That is the only thing you must do."

"...Alright. If that's your wish."

"I don't even want to talk to you anymore. Go insane. Become a monster, shining with madness."

"...Kuh, kuhahah...!"

As Sung JiHan took away his sanity, she burned with hatred.

With Yoon Sejin completely transformed into a monster, the illusion came to an end.

* * *

"My brother-in-law... was Asura."

The final era of humanity.

The apostles of the end summoned from 20 different countries.

Among them, the one summoned in China was the giant monster Asura.

"When the Thousand Demon King Lin Donggui appeared, China barely managed to capture Asura."

Just like how the Succubus Queen made LA disappear in the United States.

Asura also devastated several major cities in China.

Among the ten surviving countries out of the twenty where the apostles of the end appeared.

China suffered the most casualties, more than the United States that detonated a nuclear bomb in LA.

"The Witch of Emptiness... Can that existence create the apostles of the end? But to think it's my sister..."

The Witch of Emptiness had more authority than he had expected.

And it turned out to be his missing sister.

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow as he thought.

"And my sister... does she have some kind of precognition ability?"

While Sung JiHan was contemplating about Sung JiAh, who seemed to be speaking to him.

"...It's still a mess."

Thud.

Yoon Sejin sat down and weakly lowered his head.

"If, by any chance, something happened to Se-ah... even if she's treated like this... I would still consider it cheap..."

"..."

"I would have been grateful if it gave me the power to seek revenge. To JiAh..."

Meanwhile, the Sword King, who was feeling gloomy,

Smack!

"Oh my! How dare you. What are you saying in front of a living person!"

Yoon Sae-ah smacked him on the back.

"Ah, S-Sae-ah..."

"I'm alive and well, Dad! Right now, this isn't a bad ending situation!"

"...That's true."

"Let's gather our strength and quickly rescue Mom. Anyway! What's with this empty witch? Doesn't Uncle say he became a monster's servant?"

"Ji-han, who is the servant?"

"It's not like that."

There's no need to talk about the gods.

Sung JiHan smirked and looked around at the group.

"Is everyone still in good health?"

"Yes, Ji-han, aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine. Then, let's go and clear the final dungeon."

In the next dungeon, will we find out how he became a servant?

While thinking that, Sung JiHan led the group to the fourth dungeon.

***

On the other hand,

The star of the gods, filled with energy.

Krrrr...

"Emergency, emergency!"

The ground shook, and a person wearing full armor jumped out.

Through the helmet that covered her face, her long golden hair flowed.

Her bright-toned voice was that of a woman.

"Huh? What... why did you wake up?"

"It's strange that the fourth one woke up before the third."

Longinus and Dongbangsak, who were preparing to descend to the surface,

looked at the suddenly awakened woman in surprise.

"Jan... Weren't you supposed to wake up when the end of your world was near?"

"When did you become so formal? Nostradamus is the latest model."

"That name is too long."

"Then just call me Pithia. I don't like Jan. Your name, like Gang Sang-cheo."

Dongbangsak stroked his beard and let out a bitter laugh.

The fourth apostle with the power of prophecy.

She must really hate the name "Jan Dark."

"...Fine. Pithia, why did you wake up?"

"I saw a terrible prophecy!"

"What is it?"

"The one who was supposed to become the witch of emptiness has been released!"

"Why is that terrible?"

"Then I have to take charge of the end in her place. That means I can't be the navigation of this star for a while."

"I still don't understand what you're talking about."

Longinus shook his head excitedly as he watched Pithia, who was causing a commotion by herself.

Among the seeds of the gods, she had a unique position as a prophet.

Most of the time, her words were not understood at the time.

"Anyway... Ah, right. It's good. You said you would give me a prophecy last time, right? Take a look at her."

Hmm...

Longinus took out his phone and showed a picture of Sung JiHan.

"What do you think her future will be like? Will she be crushed by the fate of being a wanderer?"

He showed her Sung JiHan, thinking that she would have a fate of being trampled on, but...

"...Her future doesn't work with prophecies? What is this?"

Pithia looked at Sung JiHan with a serious expression.

"This kind of human case... There's only one owner, right?"
