The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 431

-Suddenly... sponsorship?

-The Sung JiHan candidate is trying to devour the Grand Sung JiHan.

-For him to come out like that to the Sun King, he really has no fear.

-He must not know his notorious reputation, right?

Suddenly, when Sung JiHan brought up the sponsorship request, the viewers were all bewildered.

Despite the intense confrontation they had been having, such as burning the Sun King's slaves.

What's with the sudden sponsorship?

[The Sun King has sponsored 1 billion GP.]

[Are you crazy?]

And immediately, the Sun King's reaction came out.

Sung JiHan smiled while looking at this message.

"I can lay my hands on the 'Special Truth' for the Dragon Lord, but not for you, right? If the Dragon Lord comes this way, I would have to hand you over, but I have no way to do that."

From Sung JiHan's perspective, although the Dragon Lord was a more friendly Grand Sung JiHan than the Sun King.

Still, both of them were monsters who wanted the Red Hand.

It was better to have a means to restrain each other.

"The method of sending the 'Special Truth' to the Grand Sung JiHan should also apply to the Sun King."

After Sung JiHan expressed his intentions like this, the viewers finally understood his proposal.

-Oh... so they want each other to restrain each other.

-You can't fully trust the Dragon Lord either.

-Well, the Dragon Lord was also famous for being ominous, so he's not someone you can trust.

-Just stop with the nonsense and let's have a tournament.

And from the Sun King's side, who understood the true meaning of this proposal, a message arrived immediately.

[The Grand Sung JiHan 'Sun King' is interested in you.]

[He wants to sponsor you. Will you accept?]

He showed his pride, but he still didn't give up on the deal.

Sung JiHan looked at it quietly and pressed 'yes'.

Then.

[Player Sung JiHan accepts the sponsorship proposal from the Grand Sung JiHan 'Sun King'.]

[Received sponsorship from both Grand Sung JiHans.]

[Player's attention exceeds the threshold, and the level of the Holy Nova rises to 2.]

"...Why did it go up?"

The Holy Level effect, which was in the category of Star Buffs, rose because it received sponsorship from the Grand Sung JiHan.

This was a completely unexpected effect.

"If I hadn't gotten involved with these guys, I wouldn't have known the level-up conditions at all."

Sung JiHan thought like that and observed the effect of Holy Level 2.

[All stats are amplified by 130%.]

[The amplification efficiency of the designated stat can be increased by an additional 40%.]

Compared to Holy Level 1, all stats increased by an additional 10%, and the designated stat also increased by an additional 10%.

This was a decent reward for an unintended compensation.

Sung JiHan raised the corners of his mouth.

"Well then. The Sun King has also become a sponsoring Grand Sung JiHan... Let's end the game for today."

When Sung JiHan raised his arm above his head.

The Bonghwanggi, which had been thrown into the sky a while ago, came back to his hand on its own.

Since it had swept away even the allies with the Heavenly Dragon Thunderfire, he had to take care of his share now.

When Sung JiHan was about to step forward.

"To commemorate the Sun King becoming a sponsoring Grand Sung JiHan, he says he will give a special gift."

Whoosh...!

The dying embers of the Sun King's slave, who was about to leave, flared up.

"What kind of gift all of a sudden?"

He didn't even ask for it, but they're making sponsorship items for him.

It's suspicious.

[The Great Throne 'Sun King' says that if opportunities don't come often, the player should take out the piece of Sun Core they possess.]

"Piece of Sun Core?"

[The Great Throne 'Sun King' asks the player if they have anything obtained from the planet of Mecan.]

"Oh."

Sung JiHan thought about the piece of Sun Core mentioned.

-That's the Sun Core that was at the center of the planet Mecan. There were three of them, and I was planning to use two of them to track the Sun King.

Sung JiHan revealed the relationship between them and the Sun King during the Space League match with the planet Mecan.

The piece of Sun Core that the Seat of the Dead Star personally swept away and collected from the planet Mecan.

He took two of them for himself to track the Sun King, and one was given as a commemoration.

Sung JiHan took out the piece of Sun Core that was stuck in the corner of his inventory.

[Sun Core Piece that Lost its Light]

-Grade: SS

-A piece of Sun Core bestowed with the power of the Great Throne, Sun King.

-It requires charging.

Even though it lost its light, the piece of Sun Core is of SS grade.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

[The Great Throne 'Sun King' says to bring the Sun Core into the fire.]

The Sun King is going to give such a valuable item.

"He definitely played a prank on me."

Sung JiHan was convinced, but for now, he put the Sun Core into the fire.

And then.

Shooooo...

The sparks were absorbed into the Sun Core in an instant, and a yellow light flickered on the piece of Sun Core.

[Activated Sun Core Piece]

-Grade: SS+

-A piece of Sun Core bestowed with the power of the Great Throne, Sun King.

-It has started charging its light.

-If it continues to receive sunlight, it will upgrade to a more advanced Sun Core.

[The Great Throne 'Sun King' informs that if the Sun Core is left under the light, it will develop on its own.]

Sung JiHan raised the corner of his mouth at the message.

Since when did he become so kind?

But still, he had to pretend to overlook it for now.

"Alright. I got it. I'll take it."

After storing the activated Sun Core back into his inventory, Sung JiHan took a step forward.

And in front of him.

"Kuh, kkuuugh...!"

The one-eyed giant who had asked Sung JiHan to join the battle earlier was lying on the ground.

"Oh, you're still alive?"

"Y-You..."

"I'm going to end the game now. If you want to get the victory reward, don't die."

Upon hearing those words, the one-eyed giant clenched his wounds with his hand.

Considering the martial arts Sung JiHan had shown earlier, this was a story that could be easily realized.

However.

"Hah. What can you do even if you're alive?"

"End the game? A weak species that can't even be seen properly is boasting."

"Author, you're smaller than my hand."

"Let's finish this quickly. We have to go to Challenger 7."

The opposing group of species on the other side of Sung JiHan were unfortunately approaching him without recognizing him.

-Sung JiHan doesn't know them?

-Not all players in the world know Sung JiHan lol. I also joined recently because of the extermination.

- But they're still challengers.

- Do you even know all the opponents in Challenger...?

- The player who used the Flame of the Sky earlier doesn't seem to think it's this person.

The reaction of not knowing Sung JiHan yet.

Amidst the coexistence of reactions like "How long has it been since he became famous, players should know" and "Thank you for coming on your own."

"Thank you for coming, guys."

Sung JiHan.

The bonghwanggi held by Sung JiHan moved lightly.

Honyeonsingong.

Samjaemuguk.

Hwangsocheongun.

Chi-iiiiik!

A trajectory that goes straight.

"Uh..."

"What, what is this?"

"It doesn't regenerate..."

The opponents who were trying to trample on Sung JiHan as he was, in their original size.

All of them were torn apart, instantly engulfed in flames.

Uh...

Without even burning for long, they turned into ashes in an instant.

- Well, now they'll know... Sung JiHan.

- They won't forget it for the rest of their lives lol. They gave up the game to me.

When messages like this appear in the chat window.

"What, what is this...!?"

"Why is my body suddenly...!?"

The power of Hwangsocheongun continued to spread endlessly, cutting all the surviving players on the battlefield in half.

Roll. Roll.

The one-eyed giant, lying down, only moved his eyeballs aimlessly.

"It's a good thing I was behind that person. If I was in front..."

If he had been cut like that, he would have burned to ashes too.

And not long after.

[The game will end.]

In front of the one-eyed giant, the game end message appeared.

This battlefield was clearly a huge battlefield where 100 vs. 100 clashed.

But when that small player threw and swung his spear, it exploded.

The giant thought.

"...Let's not do matchmaking for a while. Until that monster climbs to a higher league."

This time, he got a free victory, but next time, he might meet the author as an enemy.

If he becomes an enemy and gets wiped out in one go, he felt a sense of futility in trying hard on Battle.net.

"...Alright. Let's take a vacation."

The one-eyed giant decided to take a week off while looking at Sung JiHan like that.

* * *

After the game ends.

"I should check this guy first."

Sung JiHan immediately entered the Void Training Grounds and took out the Solar Core that the Sun King had charged.

Ziiiiing...

Perhaps because there was no sunlight inside the training ground.

There was no absorption of light, only a faint yellow light emitting from the Solar Core.

"Where... If I change the map settings..."

Sung JiHan changed the map inside the training ground a little while ago.

He tried changing it to the battlefield map where the sun was.

And then.

Flash!

As the light emitted, the Sung JiHan thought that the solar nucleus, which seemed to absorb the sunlight of the battlefield map for a moment, had returned to its original mode again.

"It has changed back to its original mode again."

Without consuming any more light, it had transformed back to its previous state.

Does it not absorb artificial sunlight?

"Hmm... There's no way the Sun King would just give this to me. There must be something else."

With such conviction, Sung JiHan examined the solar nucleus.

[Main body... What is that?]

The sealed red hand slightly opened its eyes, as if it had been stimulated by the solar nucleus.

"It's something that the Sun King gave. A piece of the solar nucleus."

[Solar nucleus... If I eat it, the probability of releasing the seal will increase by 1 percent. Give it to me as food.]

As if it were obvious, the hand demanded.

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow.

"No, that's not possible."

[Why not?]

"The Sun King wouldn't just give something like this willingly. He must have played a prank here."

[I think I know what he did there.]

"Oh really? What did he do?"

Is it the hand of the administrator after all?

It's quick to notice.

In response to Sung JiHan's question, the red hand retorted.

[Instead of this artificial sunlight, if you gather sunlight in reality, the Sun God function will activate.]

"Sun God?"

[When that is activated, the Sun King will break the nucleus and emerge. Look closely under the nucleus. There are characters.]

Sung JiHan looked closely at the nucleus in response to those words.

Underneath the nucleus, there were characters so small that they couldn't be seen without careful attention.

The characters spelled out "Sun God."

"You know a lot about the Sun King, don't you? What was your relationship with him?"

[The Sun King was the disciple of the red administrator. He was just a suitable disciple to be used as a worker, far inferior to the talent of his master.]

"He was his disciple? Still, he's better than the Dragon Lord."

Since the Dragon Lord is said to be the administrator's mount.

At Sung JiHan's words, the hand rolled its eyes.

[What are you talking about? The mount received better treatment than the disciple.]

"...Is that so?"

[Isn't it obvious? Pets are cuter than servants or disciples.]

"Is the Dragon Lord cute?"

[You'll know when you become the red administrator. It's quite cute.]

If I have to become the red administrator to know cuteness, I'll never know in my lifetime.

Sung JiHan smirked and looked at the solar nucleus.

If I receive sunlight, the Sun King will be summoned... That's it.

[Then, if my curiosity is satisfied, give it to me as food.]

"Hey, I'll give you something better later. I think there will be a separate use for this."

"No. I have to eat that...! That's the only way to release the seal!"

"Wait a bit."

"Ugh. Power, power... Damn seal...!"

Sung JiHan watched as the hand was sealed at the perfect timing, then turned his gaze back to the solar nucleus.

"The solar nucleus. If used properly, it could have considerable destructive power."

It's too wasteful to give a stone that can summon the Sun King as food.

Sung JiHan's eyes flashed with determination.
