Martial God Regressed to Level 2 - Chapter 553
War God Returned to Level 2 Episode 553
[The World Tree Alliance once asked me for a request.]
“They asked you, an undead, for a request?”
[He wanted to save Gilgamesh, but he said he wanted to test it with necromancy.]
Seong Ji-han recalled the fragment of Gilgamesh he had obtained the other day.
The fragments that were planted in the three heads resembling Sung Ji-han.
I gave him a gift blue atmosphere and even upgraded it.
As a result, the upper limit of the increased stat blue is +30.
In order to improve the current ability, it was urgent to raise the grade of the gift ‘Blue Air’.
“But saving lives isn’t a green manager’s specialty? Well done to you.”
[Your route is completely opposite to mine, right? They gave me a part of Gilgamesh’s body to test my abilities. To be honest, I didn’t even know that Gilgamesh was even when I was commissioned. Because I sent only one piece of flesh.]
“Only flesh?”
[uh. I analyzed all of them and found out.]
It’s amazing what you found out with that.
Seong Ji-han nodded, and Carlaine tilted her head.
[But how do you know something? I’m not really surprised.]
“I got a fragment of Gilgamesh while robbing the Union’s lab.”
[Oh yeah? Then, by any chance, was the location of the laboratory on the ‘root of the cosmic tree’ series planet?]
“No. It wasn’t that tidy.”
The root of cosmic water.
A planet that Yggdrasil had been subjugated to since the Constellation days before becoming a manager.
It was the place where the at least S-class World Tree was located.
‘The last time we went in, we faced quite strong resistance.’
The biggest problem there, of course.
Although it was absorbing an S-class world tree and absorbing an excess of enemies.
So after that, I decided to rob the lower planet rather than the root planet of the Cosmic Tree…
“Is the laboratory you know at the root of the Cosmic Tree?”
[uh. It was there when I completed the quest and returned the flesh to the World Tree Alliance.]
“Hmm. I need to get ready and go in.”
The root of the Cosmic Tree that I robbed last time was easy to achieve because the target was the World Tree in the first place.
This time, he would have to spend more time there as he had to find the fragment of Gilgamesh.
Then it’s not easy to hit and run, so Yggdrasil might descend directly.
It wasn’t like going to the next town as it is now, it was a portal ride, but careful preparation was needed.
[Rather than going right into the root of the cosmic tree, I recommend looking for more fragments in other laboratories. Yggdrasil’s defensive stance must have been stronger than last time.]
“That would be good. Calleine, tell me the location of the lab you found out earlier.”
In the words of Sung Ji-han.
A light flashed in Calane’s eyes, and the coordinates of the planet came to mind.
[These are the coordinates I returned the flesh to.]
“Yes. In addition to this…”
Jihan Seong showed a collection of coordinates of the World Tree Alliance that he had previously captured on the bulletin board.
“If you know the location of a planet belonging to the World Tree Alliance other than these planets, let me know.”
[ah. okay. I’ll inquire and find out. So… Can you communicate with Battlenet?]
“I restored some functions, but I can’t communicate. You will hear it often, so hand it over then.”
[Yes, it’s the head. I’ll be ready.]
Seong Ji-han asked Carlein to investigate.
‘I must plant a shadow on Kim Ji-hoon now.’
I finished my work here and returned to Earth.
* * *
The living room of the penthouse.
“Wow, so the Shadow Queen is the one who created that male half-elf?”
“…no wonder. Since then I’ve been avoiding it. You did that.”
Let Seong Ji-han tell her family about the Shadow Queen incident.
They made a puzzled look.
“The Queen is really disappointed…”
“So what did the Shadow Queen do?”
“The Queen’s soul is sealed, and I will only use the shadow.”
“Only the shadows?”
“huh. I want to plant it in Kim Ji-hoon’s body.”
Then Ji-Han Seong spread his palms.
Suss…
Black smoke rose gently above it.
“What if I plant it?”
“Even while I’m away on an expedition, I’ll be able to control Kim Ji-hoon’s body.”
“aha. But wouldn’t that shadow be seen from the body?”
“I will plant it in the void you put it in.”
The void Yoon Se-ah infused into Kim Ji-hoon’s blue sword.
If you breathe shadow energy into it, no matter how much you search Kim Ji-hoon’s body, you won’t be able to find it.
“Then I’ll go do some work.”
“huh. See you next time Uncle.”
So Seong Ji-han went back to the room below and looked at the elf escort first.
She keeps looking at Kim Ji-hoon, but her pupils are slightly dilated.
‘The Phantasm effect is applied well.’
Now he doesn’t have to worry about it.
Sung Ji-han thinks so.
I put my hand on Kim Jihoon’s head.
Sussss…
Then the black smoke that passed through his hands seeped into him.
‘It worked right away.’
Through the shadow, Kim Ji-hoon’s sense sharing was clearly progressed.
Until now, I had to enter his body and control him.
Now, through the shadows planted, it is possible to do it indirectly from afar.
‘It’s a bit awkward to multitask.’
Although the control itself was doable.
He wasn’t used to the feeling of manipulating people other than me.
Still, to live a double life, I have to get used to it.
He moved his two bodies through sensory sharing for about an hour.
‘Now I can get a feel for the control itself.’
Now I decided to go one step further.
‘It’s meaningful when I can move while robbing the world tree planet at the same time.’
Right now, I controlled it right by my side, but will it really work well in real battle?
To test it, Seong Ji-han went to rob a D-class World Tree, which is no different than a stat enemy charging station.
‘This… isn’t easy.’
It’s definitely because the distance is so far away.
Sharing the senses through the shadows was on a different level from doing it next to me.
Seong Ji-han’s intention was for Kim Ji-hoon to get out of bed and walk.
thud…!
He didn’t get up and fell off the bed onto the floor.
And when trying to stand properly after falling off the floor.
Quadang…!
Instead of getting up on his feet, Kim Ji-hoon rolls over again after trying to do a handstand with his two palms.
‘Is it because it’s too far away? It feels like the signal isn’t going properly.’
Should I have gradually increased the distance?
Seong Ji-han remained floating in the atmosphere like that.
He was only focused on controlling Kim Ji-hoon.
I wonder if 30 minutes have passed since I did that.
‘…I did a good job of calling the elves into a phantasmagoria.’
Jihoon Kim was still unable to stand upright on the floor.
The surroundings became a mess thanks to the rolling on the floor so much.
Several blue bruises were showing on the body of the resilient half-elf.
If the elf escort had looked directly at this, they would have intervened long ago.
‘If this is the case, I planted the shadows for no reason.’
Honestly, what does it mean if you can control it well on Earth?
Even when you go on an expedition like this, you need to properly share your senses to plant a shadow.
When Seong Ji-han is having such a hard time in the test.
[…Can I help you?]
A familiar voice came from the shadow of the sacred body.
* * *
“Shadow Queen? You should have been sealed.”
Sung Ji-han opened her inventory.
Then, the sealed soul of the queen was clearly in place.
‘Even if the soul was sealed, do remnants remain?’
What a tenacious guy.
Should I just give up on the shadows and get rid of them all?
When Seong Ji-han thought so.
[Owner, I am Ariel. Don’t you remember?]
The shadow revealed its identity.
“…Are you Ariel?”
As the shadow queen’s alter ego, Ariel served as the sword of Holy Land.
However, after rescuing the Shadow Queen in the past, she merged with the Queen and disappeared.
Although it was a pity that her seat was empty at one time.
Since she was originally born as an alter ego of the queen, since she was rescued, I thought this was the prescribed procedure… [
My consciousness, which disappeared after being fused with the queen, returned this time…]
“Is it because the queen’s soul is sealed? . Still, I didn’t know that you, an alter ego, could remain so independent.”
[…I’m also curious. I shared my memories with the Queen, but they are not perfect.]
Then Ariel spoke cautiously.
[That… I also can’t trust the traitor’s alter ego?]
“Hmm… How were you trying to help?”
Ariel, the faithful alter ego of the Queen.
It was unreasonable to fully trust her, but I could hear the method.
[I’m sure there’s a way to dwell on that alter ego, but…]
“That’s not okay. I still can’t believe it.”
[…I guess so. Instead, I will amplify the signal sent to the shadows. If the owner knows the trick, he will learn it right away.]
“Really? Give it a try.”
Susseu….
After Seong Ji-han’s permission was granted, the shadow energy moved in earnest.
Ariel became a medium in the middle and the signal was amplified.
‘Oh, I woke up.’
Kim Ji-hoon, who had been rolling around on the ground, got up easily.
[If I act as a medium in the middle, I can receive the senses from a distance.]
“I don’t think there’s much of a difference between me and me…”
[Hmm… Maybe I, a shadow elf, became the medium. seems to increase the stability.]
If this is true.
It’s a story that Ariel is indispensable to control Kim Ji-hoon when he goes out on an expedition.
‘Anyway, I’m going to use it as a medium right now.’
Seong Ji-han thought so when he saw that Earth’s alter ego was well controlled.
Vigorous movements are difficult, but Kim Ji-hoon is capable of basic movements such as walking and sitting.
In order for this remote control system to settle down properly, Ariel had to be used.
“I will go with you for a while.”
[For the time being… is it?]
“I can’t help it. I have business with the Queen, so 100% trust is impossible.”
[…I understand that decision. What the Queen did was such a betrayal of trust.]
“I heard that your memories aren’t perfect yet, so you’re familiar with that, don’t you?”
Ariel answered with a calm voice to Sung Ji-han’s question.
[Anyway, that day was the day the queen betrayed her master and gave up the salvation of the shadow elves at the same time.]
“She even gave up on salvation?”
[Yes… when the World Tree Alliance is in danger of being captured again. The Queen faced her inner thoughts. Revenge and the salvation of the race are in fact just good excuses… The Queen, who was once severely tortured by the Alliance, just wanted to live freely.] In the past, the Shadow
Queen was tortured severely.
Rather than the cause of saving the Shadow Elves after going through that.
Pursuing personal happiness was something that could have happened.
still.
“If that’s the case, why are you on Earth? You shouldn’t have sold my biometric information.”
[…That’s right.]
After taking a deep breath, Ariel spoke to Seong Ji-han.
[Anyway, I am the traitor’s alter ego. The owner uses it as a medium in moderation and then disposes of it. I accept death anytime.]
Being detached from death is better than the main body.
Sung Ji-han nodded and looked down.
‘I’ll have to rob it while I’m here.’
Class D world tree.
All you get is charging the enemies.
Still, I’ve come this far, but it’s just a pity to go back.
Seong Ji-han of red manager status.
Wow…!
It fell right near the World Tree.
Then there.
“You are finally here.”
“The manager in red…!”
100 High Elves were building a defense with blue swords.
That too.
‘…Did you change everything to that face already?’
All 100 people.
With Yoon Se-ah’s face on.
