Martial God Regressed to Level 2 - Chapter 172

< The God of War Returned to Level 2 Episode 172 >

“Mom… … .”

Yoon Se-ah opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Mom… … you died… … .”

Seongjihando nodded beside him.

sister’s death.

Didn’t the whole country watch it live?

“Yes, I ended up using the self-sacrifice spell while blocking the dungeon break in the north… … .”

North Korea was the first country in the world to be destroyed by dungeons.

While not raising players who might threaten the regime, and keeping them in check.

In the already difficult Northeast Asian league, they finished last with an overwhelming score.

There were several dictatorships besides North Korea that didn’t want to nurture players.

Those countries didn’t have a tight regional league like North Korea, so they didn’t come in last with less points in league points.

In North Korea, where dungeons began to form in 2011, the whole area was soon engulfed in dungeons.

‘Abyss came into existence.’

A higher level dungeon created by combining several dungeon portals.

‘Abyss’ encroached on North Korea.

Unlike the dungeon portal, extremely powerful monsters emerged from the dark red cracks encroaching on the ground.

In particular, Ghost-type monsters that protruded from the Abyss of the North are not capable of modern firearms.

North Korea could not stop the enemy even if it mobilized its entire army.

By the time North Korea was destroyed, five years had passed.

As a group of North Korean survivors, who thought they were all dead near the 38th parallel, moved south, human rights groups began to argue that North Koreans should be rescued.

‘Unlike the early days of Battle.net, the players have grown a lot, so the government responded positively to it… … .’

The result was a miserable failure.

The monsters summoned to North Korea continued to pop out of the dungeon portal even after they were killed.

In particular, most of them were ghost monsters as they went further north, so the army couldn’t use much effort.

When the reaction to retreat began to emerge.

When a player accidentally steps into the realm of the Abyss, a new message pops up in the system.

[The owner of the Abyss ‘??’ is enraged that his territory has been invaded.]

[The dungeon break is activated. Monsters belonging to the dungeon portal move out of the area.]

[Stop the enemy invasion!]

With that message, North Korean monsters are moving south in large numbers.

At first, it was started with good intentions of rescuing North Koreans.

The return result was a terrible disaster.

A large-scale group of ghosts moved south.

Korea’s gold players or higher were recruited to block the 38th line.

Although the first invasion was still held off with few casualties.

As the second and third invasions began, casualties began to occur.

Then, on the 4th, a huge darkness came from the north as it was.

Korean society fell into a panic.

It was too large to block no matter how many players were gathered.

When I wanted to break through the defense line like this.

-I am… … I will write a gift.

Sung Ji-ah used her gift ‘sacrifice’ to the limit.

Then her body lost its vitality and turned to hard stone.

The darkness that had been pushed in like a tsunami by the light that exploded in all directions hesitated and then stopped moving.

[If you are a saint… … Not suitable for sacrifice.]

With that last word, the darkness engulfed Seongjiah and withdrew.

The sacrifice scene of Sung Ji-ah, watched live by the whole nation.

People said she was a true saint and would not forget her sacrifice.

For the families left behind, this incident was completely different from lightning.

The Sword King, who was dispatched to block other regions, started looking for alcohol after this day, saying that I should have been next to Jia at that time.

Seong Ji-han locked herself in the house and fell more in love with gambling.

Yoon Se-ah tried to act as brightly as before, thinking of the depressed family atmosphere, but the forced smile was obvious.

The death of Seong Ji-ah was such an event that completely changed the Yoon Se-jin family.

however.

“How are you going to find your dead sister with this ring?”

Sung Ji-han looked at the Aegis and asked, and the Sword King slowly opened his mouth.

“I remembered what Shizuru said before remodeling the ring. She looked at the options on the ring and said it had an owner.”

“Isn’t it because your sister owned the ring?”

“no. It’s an item that chooses a new owner when the owner dies, and it’s amazing. I wonder if your wife is alive. Still, he provoked me by asking if it would be okay to live with me.”

“Hoo… … .”

Seong Ji-han’s eyes shone.

Shizuru, who had already charmed the Sword King, would have no reason to lie.

Does that mean my real sister is still alive?

Even though I was petrified and eaten by darkness… …

“Do you have any ideas? Find your sister?”

“I tried to search the dungeons in the north.”

“… … Is that the end?”

“hmm… … If I keep track of Jia’s keepsakes and rings, won’t I find them someday?”

I asked for a ring, so I thought there was something innovative.

It’s too staged, isn’t it?

“Just haphazardly? What if a dungeon break happens again after stepping into the Abyss like the last time?”

“that… … Can’t we avoid it somehow?”

“… … Seeing him being staged like this, he’s a real father.”

Yoon Se-ah looked rather glad to see Yoon Se-jin, who said she would leave for North Korea without any plan.

Outside, he maintains a dignified appearance as an unrivaled warrior player.

At home, my mother always scolded me for not thinking about you, but I was just the same as before.

“… … Please wait a moment. Ariel.”

Still, if you send it like this, there may be a big division.

Seong Ji-han summoned Ariel from her arm.

“why?”

“How does the Abyss deal with that world?”

“Abyss… … Are you talking about a group of dungeon portals?”

“uh.”

“You really don’t know anything about your world. Well, I didn’t even know how to get rid of the dungeon portal… … .”

Ariel spread the shadow energy in the air and drew a circle.

A large circle is in the center.

Black dots were sparsely placed around it.

Ariel pointed to the black dot among them.

“The Abyss is strengthened by absorbing the magic of the surrounding dungeon portals. In order to get rid of this, it is urgent to get rid of the dungeon portals around it.”

“Hmm, the solution was simple.”

“okay. In the first place, other planets don’t have abyss unless it’s the time of the end. Before that, I quickly clear the dungeon portal by searching.”

“The Abyss only appeared in extreme situations where even the portal couldn’t be erased.”

“that’s right. So the planet from which the Abyss was created will soon be endless. to destruction.”

Is that why the northern darkness was so powerful?

The abyss that appear when the game is over in other worlds were created during the tutorial here.

After hearing Ariel’s simple strategy for the Abyss, Yoon Se-jin opened her mouth in an interesting voice.

“Oh, this being… … It’s your summons. Then we can proceed by clearing all the dungeons around North Korea.”

“To get rid of the dungeon portal, you need a player with the Search Gift.”

“That’s right, if you give me a lot of GP, can’t I get it somehow? It’s GP… … .”

The sword king’s voice, which had been speaking confidently, gradually faded.

“… … Well, I gave it all to Shizuru… … .”

“Are there none?”

“I only received a decent maintenance fee to use when spending money urgently. Looks like you only had 1 million GP left… … .”

If it was 1 billion, it was a huge amount in the eyes of the general public.

From the point of view of the Sword King, who possessed more than a trillion units of property, everything he had was stolen.

“I’m so ashamed to say that after I rescued my brother-in-law, they seemed to ask me to hand over the bundle… … Can you lend me some GP?”

Seong Ji-han sighed at the sad reality of being the world’s No. 1 warrior.

“I can lend you any amount of money. If you want to clear the northern dungeon portal, you’ll need to prepare properly. You won’t be able to go alone with only the searcher.”

“Um… … .”

North Korean dungeon portal investigation.

If Sung Ji-ah was really alive, it was a must-do.

However, it was an uneasy situation to leave it to the sword king alone.

Seong Ji-han wondered if he should contact the association and set up an investigation team.

‘Oh yeah… … I guess I can use them.’

His eyes flashed as if he had a good idea.

* * *

World Battle.net Federation based in New York.

There, discussions were going on for a long time about the future of the Sword King.

“How would you like to deal with the sword king issue?”

“Notifying me that I will not be participating in the Space League. I don’t mind it, but… … It is true that he is what the Space League needs.”

“that’s right. If you don’t come out of the sanctuary limit, the damage will be great. There is no player to replace them.”

Representatives of many countries denounced the request of the Sword King, but the opinion was gathered that somehow they should participate in the space league.

“hmm… … But if the Association succumbs to the player’s intimidation, it will look very bad.”

“that’s right. So who will listen to the Society now? Rather than granting their request, would you rather go without one?”

Representatives of associations belonging to the Northeast Asian League maintained a tough stance.

‘Even if I can’t get it until the permanent disqualification of the player… … .’

‘Some degree of discipline must be fed. Otherwise, Korea will unconditionally take first place.’

Representatives from other countries. I had no chance to meet Korea except during the Champions League anyway.

Countries belonging to the same regional league will play on fictitious days.

The psychology of check against the duo of Seong Ji-han and the Sword King was very severe.

“To go without the two of you. Are the Space Leagues a joke?”

“What are you going to do with more dungeons? There might be some penalty!”

Around the time the discussion related to the Sword King intensified.

“The Sword King presented a new plan.”

The Korean representative came with a proposal from the King of Swords.

“Even though I didn’t kill Shizuru Ito, do you think relaying the murder through the Battle Tube was an inappropriate move… … As punishment for this, he said he would apply for dungeon exploration for six months.”

“What kind of dungeon exploration… … .”

“Is that what the Sword King does?”

Dungeon Portal Exploration.

Since it was known by Seongjihan that the Search Gift can remove the dungeon portal.

The World Battle.net Federation created a dungeon exploration team to test it.

And although it turns out that actually taking players with the ability to explore here can clear the dungeon entirely.

A serious problem arose during the demolition process.

“There was a problem with the boss monster popping out randomly when the dungeon core was cleared, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s why a lot of Somalia’s dungeon portal investigation team died. After that, they say that player applicants have been cut off.”

Because of the boss monster that appears when the dungeon core is removed, the standard for players required by the investigation team has been greatly raised to level 150 or higher.

It was very difficult to find a player of this level in the association.

From a player’s point of view, when you reached that level, there were many places to call.

There was no need to risk death to join the investigation team.

“Hmm… … That’s a good suggestion… … .”

“If the Sword King participates in the investigation team, there will be no worries in terms of force.”

“No matter what boss monster comes out, there won’t be an accident like last time.”

Let the atmosphere in the crowd flow in a positive stream.

Korean representative.

“Instead, you said you would only explore dungeons in North Korea.”

“North Korea… … Isn’t that where the dungeon break first exploded?”

“There is an Abyss, isn’t it dangerous?”

“He said he would look at the situation while removing the outermost dungeons in turn.”

“As long as Korea agrees, it’s good for us. It is easier for the investigation team to go there than in other countries.”

A dungeon that only appears in the bottom 10 percent of countries.

The country that belonged to this category was originally not very safe, but with the advent of dungeons, social collapse accelerated and the situation was very bad.

It was much better from the federation’s point of view to investigate North Korea in a stable country like South Korea rather than having an investigation team base camp in such a place.

“Six months. It seems too short… … !”

“Hehe, please refrain from making any more unreasonable demands on the Japanese side.”

“you’re right. Wouldn’t investigating the dungeon portal be the most important thing for humanity?”

“is it so. Is it true that Shizuru is really dead? The Japanese side also lacks grounds to reverse their claims.”

“Um… … .”

The representatives of Northeast Asia, who had been aligning themselves with the sword king, looked at each other.

‘No more.’

‘It may face a backlash from public opinion.’

For a person of the level of the Sword King to join the investigation team, it is the same as saying that he would serve as the White Army.

It was too strong to ask for more punishment here.

“… … All right.”

Let’s accept the Sword King’s offer, even to the Japanese representative.

The World Battle.net Federation took care of things in a flash.

The dungeon portal investigation team belonging to the federation departs for Korea.

Several artificial satellites were also mobilized to determine the area of the Abyss dyed purple.

Let the Federation mobilize all its strength to support itself.

Yoon Se-jin stuck out her tongue.

“Your brother-in-law is amazing… … I never thought I would use the Federation like this!”

“What a simple thing. Because they also needed to investigate the dungeon portal.”

Sung Ji-han answered easily and asked Yoon Se-jin.

“If you find any trace of your sister, please contact me right away. I will join you immediately.”

“Yes, I will definitely find it.”

“dad. Don’t push yourself too hard and come home whenever you have time. Isn’t it right when you come riding the sword?”

“… … Yes, Seaya. I am always grateful and sorry.”

The Sword King joined the investigation team after giving Yoon Se-ah a hug.

Sung Ji-han looked at the calendar.

It has already been 20 days since the series of courses that started with Shizuru ended.

If this amount of time had passed, there was no need to delay leveling up any longer.

‘Maybe I can start the game again.’

Seong Ji-han decided to turn on Battle.net after a long time.
