Martial God Regressed to Level 2 - Chapter 55
< The God of War Returned to Level 2, Episode 55 >
* * *
An ominous shimmering darkness began creeping into the sunlit arena.
A strange phenomenon in which darkness pushes out light.
Seong Ji-han, who watched the scene, raised his inner strength.
‘Overwhelming magical power that I can’t feel… … It is impossible to overcome that.’
No matter how much power and force he possesses, it is impossible to overcome the power of the Constellation at the current level.
‘I don’t even have to win one.’
Sung Ji-han recalled the contents of the Epic Quest.
[Find the Shadow Queen located in the auditorium of the Colosseum map and provoke her.]
The content of the quest he received is not to fight the Shadow Queen, but to find and provoke her.
It seemed that the prerequisite to find the Shadow Queen had been cleared.
‘Seeing that the quest hasn’t been completed… … It wasn’t even a provocation.’
How can I taunt the Shadow Queen?
Throwing a phoenix poem into the darkness again would have no effect.
Seong Ji-han was deep in thought for a while.
The phoenix that had been shot through the barrier had returned to his hand before he knew it
.
‘Even though I went in and out of that darkness, the characteristics of returning are the same.’
I thought that even a phoenix that had the ability to return to its owner with one shot would not be effective because of that powerful darkness.
Guess it was tolerated by the Shadow Queen, Phoenix was emitting an intense white light as usual.
‘hmm.’
As Seong Ji-han blew energy into the phoenix, the pure white light became stronger and illuminated the surroundings that were being eroded by darkness.
It was then.
I felt something twitch under my feet.
Seong Ji-han looked at the floor and saw that his long shadow had changed into a strange shape.
‘This… … .’
The shadow’s head was deformed like a sword.
at the same time.
Squeak!
The shadow that turned into a sword suddenly jumped up and tried to pierce Seong Ji-han’s body.
However, Seongjihan, who had been alert since the shadow changed, was able to easily penetrate the shadow.
Fish Expression –
A sword-shaped shadow that loses its shape and disappears.
Immediately, the shadow on the floor returned to its original form, but soon after, it changed back to the form of a sword.
‘The shadows are supplied with alien magical power. There will be no end like this.’
Is that all?
Aside from the shadows, the darkness outside was pouring into the arena even at this moment.
If this is the case, there is no answer.
‘I need to figure out what the situation is like.’
Sung Ji-han decided to step back.
Paji Jiji-!
The moment I tried to use the island thunderbolt like that.
“… … ?”
Burr –
I could see the speed of change in the shadow slowing down due to the slight current that rose from both legs.
‘Thunderbolt works.’
Once more.
This time, when he deliberately spilled the brain energy derived from using Seomcheonroebo on the floor, the shadow was visibly paralyzed.
‘Even if I can suppress the magic flowing into the shadows, it won’t disappear completely.’
That disparate mana did not completely disappear no matter how much Seong Ji-han tried to overcome and get rid of it.
‘I’ll have to leave it like this for now.’
Seong Ji-han, who came to a conclusion, cast a thunderbolt to find other players.
* * *
The stadium was abysmal.
“What! What shadow… … .”
“Ughhhhh!”
The screams of the players were echoing here and there.
Unlike Sung Ji-han, who was able to control the shadow and move his body freely, other players were being helpless by his own shadow that had turned into a sword.
Even if he tried to block the attack with a shield or shield magic, it was useless.
For some reason, the shadow ignored the players’ defenses and took the life of its owner at once.
[There are 5 survivors.]
[The TOP 100 Promotion Match will end soon.]
The number of survivors is rapidly dwindling.
Sung Ji-han saw the system message and felt impatient.
‘I haven’t finished the Epic Quest yet.’
How can I provoke the Shadow Queen?
I looked around.
All the barriers in the arena were dismantled, except for the one he had pierced, and darkness was pouring in from all sides.
And there were 4 players alive in the center of the arena, and they didn’t seem to be attacked by the shadows, perhaps because they weren’t under the influence of darkness yet.
However, even their shadows seemed to be moving slowly.
‘I’ll have to save it for now.’
Poof!
Seong Ji-han reached out to the survivors with the extreme power of the island thunderbolt.
“Cha charging… … !”
As Seong Ji-han approached at terrifying speed, a warrior panicked and tried to use the skill.
Tuk-tuk-
“Ugh… … ?!”
Seong Ji-han lightly bloodied the warrior’s body as if he was not worth fighting against.
and at the same time.
I trampled his shadow with my electrified feet.
Support Jijik-!
Then the sword of shadow that tried to threaten the player disappeared and returned to its original form.
‘what… … Why are you helping me?’
Awesome. Awesome.
The Warrior, who had been turned into a log by getting point blood, was only blinded by the absurdity.
Seong Ji-han lifted him up with the force and rescued the other three survivors in the same way and moved them to the center of the arena.
“… … .”
A situation where all four players are standing side by side in the center of the arena with wooden stones.
There was nothing they could do, so they stared at Sung Ji-han with their eyes wide open.
If you just let it die, you win, so what the hell are you thinking?
The four people looked at Sung Ji-han with puzzled eyes.
However, Seong Ji-han stared at the darkness coming from all sides without even paying attention to it.
The result of observing that darkness so far.
On the outside, they all looked the same, but there was clearly a superiority and inferiority in strength.
‘To check that… … .’
supportive!
Sung Ji-han passed electricity through the five shadows, including the four players.
The shadows that wriggled to turn into swords returned to their original form in an instant, but still did not try to stop the transformation.
However, Seong Ji-han’s intention was not to completely subdue the shadows.
When a strong stimulus is given to the shadow, which side of the darkness that surrounds it on all sides does the magic flow in.
It was to watch it.
It wasn’t long before I felt a strange energy creeping out of the darkness to the northeast.
At the same time, the shadows that had been completely subdued by the Brain Machine could be seen quickly recovering.
‘Over there.’
sure
The Shadow Queen was where she had pierced.
Now that we’ve figured out her location, all that’s left is to taunt her with blows.
However, it was a long way from reaching the Shadow Queen with the three martial arts.
Samjae Mugeuk is also a powerful enough martial art, but the opponent was so out of standard.
In fact, it was only natural for Seong Ji-han to use whatever martial arts he was capable of at this point.
but.
Only one of the weapons available.
There was a way to hit the darkness by using the opponent’s weak point in the brain.
Furrrrrr-!
Phoenix City flared up again.
This time, it did not contain only white flames, but even blue electricity.
‘Even though I haven’t been able to fully learn the unknown art… … .’
It was not a martial art registered in the skill.
Still, the body remembered it well.
The rise of the unknown god.
three divine deities.
Seong Ji-han performed the most suitable martial arts to overcome this situation.
Thunder God’s martial
arts,
one
of the rising martial arts of the Unknown Singong.
This power, which is the best in subduing darkness and demons, was actually too high-level martial arts for Seong Ji-han now.
Even if he had completely inherited the unknown new skill from a wandering god of war, he would not have been able to fully develop it.
but.
‘If you don’t have enough status, you can borrow it from Phoenix City.’
Phoenix, an item with the limitation that it disappears after firing five times.
Aside from one limitation, if you look only at the power, the Phoenix had powerful power comparable to that of the SS class.
In this way, Seong Ji-han drew a level that was insufficient to spread thunderbolt flashes in Bonghwang-si.
Chiyiik-!
Seong Ji-han’s right hand, holding the phoenix poem, couldn’t overcome the heat and burned.
It was a side effect of trying to use the ascending martial arts in a situation where the unknown god’s skill did not support it.
Intense pain passed through his hands.
It was the result of not using the battlenet connector, but Seong Ji-han did not frown his eyebrows, but rather smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Kurur-!
It was because thunder rang out in Phoenix City.
“success… … You did.”
Seong Ji-han took a javelin stance.
All the muscles in his upper body, including his arms and shoulders, contracted as if they were going to burst at any moment.
The shoes on the floor were ripped off by the destructive leg force.
and soon.
—–!
An air-shattering sound echoed from Sung Ji-han.
The phoenix that left his hand became a thunderbolt containing white flame, cutting through the darkness as it was.
at the same time.
The darkness that seemed to completely engulf the stadium lifted itself and a being appeared.
It was the dark-eyed dark elf who had been eyeing Seong Ji-han until just now.
Sung Ji-han’s eyebrows narrowed.
To think that the person presumed to be the Shadow Queen would appear in person.
Moreover, the place where she was standing was in front of the orbit of the flying phoenix, emitting destructive power.
but.
“… … Tsk.”
The flying phoenix stopped right in front of the Dark Elf’s nose.
[——–.]
Let her recite an unknown language.
The fire of the phoenix slowly died down, and the brain energy gradually lost its power.
The Phoenix, which seemed to swallow the Dark Elves completely, soon changed to its original form, like a pure white spear.
It seemed that the herbivore that Seong Ji-han threw with all his might went back to nothing.
That moment.
supportive!
A line of pure white thunderbolt passed the Dark Elf’s left cheek.
The second thunderbolt that Thunderbolt possesses.
The brain energy from Seong Ji-han’s completely burnt right hand followed the phoenix.
‘I couldn’t release all the power of the thunderbolt, which is an ascending martial art, so it became a time lag attack… … .’
Rather, it was an advantage.
And for a very short time.
The dark elf’s left cheek was slightly tanned, then returned to normal.
[…] … .]
The dark elf stopped talking and stroked his face.
Even the second attack prepared by Sung Ji-han did only minor damage to her.
[You have provoked the Shadow Queen.]
[You have cleared the Epic Quest.]
[You will receive 50000 Achievement Points as a reward.]
That was enough for Seong Ji-han.
After all, this attack was meant to provoke the Shadow Queen.
[———–.]
The black-eyed dark elf opened his mouth and stretched out his right hand.
Then the darkness that enveloped all sides disappeared in an instant, and they all came together in her hand to create a single sword.
A black sword of overwhelming size that stretched from her hand to the sky.
Suuuuu-.
At the same time, the shadows of all living players ran amok.
Until now, the shadows were unable to move because they were blocked by the current of Holy Jihan, but when the Dark Elves exerted their power in earnest, the shadows could no longer be suppressed.
Jjiik-!
Arms and legs are bound in an instant by the shadows.
All five, including Seong Ji-han, were confined to the death penalty.
At this rate, it is clear that he will not even be able to resist and will be cut with a single knife.
In particular, the first person to be executed here was Seong Ji-han.
The situation where the first place before promotion will fly away.
However, he never lost a smile on his lips.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you die.”
“Ouch… … !”
The players behind them groaned in unison.
Then, one by one, the players disappear into the light.
When the four survivors disappear, there is only one left.
There was only holy ground.
[——?]
The dark elf’s eyes widened for a moment.
Seongjihan’s power was already restrained by the shadows.
You wouldn’t be able to do anything in front of yourself with overwhelming power, but why… … .
are they dying?
“Then see you next time.”
[You won the TOP 100 Promotion Match.]
[You will be logged out in 5 seconds.]
Shu-Woong!
before 5 seconds pass.
A huge black sword struck him in order to split Seong Ji-han’s body apart.
Awesome!
Seong Ji-han, who thought he was completely restrained, twisted his body to avoid the blow.
Instead, I couldn’t completely avoid it, so my left arm was cut off and I fell to the ground.
‘I made a good save with this.’
Seong Ji-han finished the logout with a smile despite the pain of his broken arm.
[The constellation ‘Shadow Queen’ shows interest in you.]
[The ‘Shadow of the Sun’ dwells on your left arm.]
Without seeing the last system message that popped up.
