The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 165

Bang! Bang!

Shizuru clenched her teeth as she looked at the BattleNet connector that seemed like it could explode at any moment.

"I can't hold on for much longer."

If she had known this would happen, she would have added more devices to the BattleNet connector, just in case the King of Swords regained his status during the game.

Although she had added a function to forcefully log him out, that was all she had done.

After all, she thought she had complete control over the King of Swords.

She had decided to conserve the power of the gift in the BattleNet connector.

But now, it had come back as a mistake.

"If I want to use the enchantment again in this situation, I only have one means."

She needed to release the enchantment and focus the power of the gift on the King of Swords, freeing herself from the influence of the Japanese government officials.

Shizuru quickly thought about who to release from the enchantment and who to keep.

"The Prime Minister and the chairmen should be kept..."

Excluding the key officials of the Japanese government, she released the enchantment on everyone else and took a deep breath.

She could do it.

After all, she had overcome the King of Swords once before.

With this level of power, she could definitely enchant him again.

Bang!

The BattleNet connector finally exploded.

And in that spot, the King of Swords slowly stood up.

Radiating with life.

Looking at Shizuru, who was standing calmly, he asked with a hint of curiosity, "Who are you?"

Unlike when she had enchanted him, the King of Swords now spoke in fluent Korean.

Shizuru replied in the fluent Korean she had learned when seducing the King of Swords, "Don't you remember me?"

"Who are you?"

"Thank goodness."

When Sung JiHan had used a strange trick in the game, it seemed like he couldn't remember the current situation.

If he had remembered, he would have killed her instantly.

But without his memory, there was plenty of opportunity to enchant him.

With sad eyes, Shizuru slowly approached Sung JiHan, taking out a handkerchief from her pocket.

"I... I was sent by Sung JiHan."

"Sung JiHan..."

As she mentioned Sung JiHan's name, she softened his guard.

"Yes. To rescue you from the hands of Japan, the National Intelligence Service and other people have been making efforts."

Saying that, she casually approached Sung JiHan.

"Me, why am I in Japan..."

"That's a long story."

To the confused Sung JiHan, Shizuru, who was now close enough to be intimate, embraced him.

"I, I love you so much."

With those words.

Enchantment, dependence, and obsession.

Shizuru used all the status effects she could.

"Kuk... You, you were the cause!"

Sung JiHan opened his eyes wide and quickly moved away.

At first, his face was full of anger.

But as he looked at Shizuru's transcendent beauty, his expression gradually softened.

She smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

"I succeeded."

If it had gone this far, it was over.

At first, he might resist a little.

But what could a mere man do?

"Ugh... You... you bitch! Die!"

As the twin swords were summoned, a powerful sword energy was released towards Shizuru.

If it were anyone other than Shizuru, it would be a power strong enough to cut her in an instant.

But she remained unfazed by the King of Swords' attack.

"Aegis."

Wiiiiing...!

As if protecting Shizuru, a massive shield was created.

The rainbow-colored shield had an additional pure white shield in front, deflecting all the sword energy.

Seeing that, the King of Swords widened his eyes.

"Why do you have Aegis' ring?"

The ring of Aegis.

The Sword King had a ring he obtained from Battle.net that had the ability to summon the Absolute Protection Shield Aegis for 5 minutes.

This ring originally belonged to Sung JiHan, the Sword King's wife.

"Oh, did you say this belonged to your wife? But you gave it to me as a proposal gift. Hehe, don't you remember?"

"S-Sizuru...!!"

"You're getting angry after giving it to me. How amusing."

Ito Sizuru was thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Quickly, come back to me, Ryuhei, as my love."

Ryuhei.

Upon hearing that name, the Sword King's face completely stiffened.

He recalled how many times Sizuru whispered that name to him.

The memories of sharing love with her and willingly serving as her subordinate flashed through his mind like a mirage.

"Ha, hahaha...."

Strength drained from the hand holding the twin swords.

As a man, he couldn't resist Sizuru.

She was... such a being.

The anger that had surged up from his chest disappeared, replaced by a desire for her.

He wanted to stay by her side.

When the Sword King gradually gave up his resistance, his emotions rapidly changed.

Shuuuu....

'This is...'

An unfamiliar energy began to move within his body.

Then, his hazy mind in front of Sizuru cleared once again.

- Sae. I want to raise her like my own daughter.

Suddenly, Sizuru's words from before came to mind.

-In Japan.

'She... even aims for Sae.'

Sizuru said she would bring Sae.

She said she would raise her like her own daughter.

But it was clear that Sae was merely a means to bring Sung JiHan.

And once she captured Sung JiHan...

What would happen to Sae?

If she was useless, she would be discarded.

If she was useful, she would serve as her subordinate like herself.

"Kuk... Kukkuk...!"

He couldn't allow that.

He couldn't bear to see that.

He was enough to become like this.

He couldn't let his daughter fall into this abyss.

Yoon Saejin looked at Sizuru.

Such a charming woman.

Even in the midst of his anger that was boiling due to her beauty that shook the world, his mind was captivated.

'Yes... that's the problem.'

The problem was that he kept seeing that transcendent beauty.

It was these 'eyes' that were the problem.

Sueuk.

When the Sword King raised his sword.

"You're being quite rebellious. I'll scold you later."

Sizuru spoke calmly, trusting in the shield of Aegis.

But when the tip of the sword aimed not at her, but at the Sword King himself, her face stiffened.

No, more precisely...

The tip of the sword was aimed at her eyes.

"W-Wait...!"

Thud...!

The Sword King's twin swords pierced through his own eyes without any hesitation.

* * *

Thud. Thud...

Blood flowed and fell to the ground along with his eyeballs.

"How refreshing."

As the chilling aura once again dominated the space.

Ito Sizuru asked with a trembling voice.

"Y-You... have you gone mad?"

In response to her words, the Sword King smiled, baring his teeth.

"Yes. I have gone mad."

[Failed to activate the abnormal status 'Enchantment'.]

[Failed to activate the abnormal status 'Dependency'.]

[The abnormal status 'Obsession' is activated.]

Sizuru opened her eyes wide while reading the system message.

"Failure in fascination and dependence, only obsession succeeded?"

"This is the worst...!"

"My brother-in-law said. He told me to cut off your neck. Then he would acknowledge me as Se-ah's father."

Swoosh.

Soy sauce drew a horizontal line.

Crash!

A loud explosion sound erupted.

A stronger force than before.

Was it because she stabbed her own eyes, blocking her vision?

The Sword King was able to truly exert his power on Sizuru.

"But I think differently. I am not worthy of forgiveness. And... I have no intention of leaving your neck in this world."

Sigh...

Soy sauce and Makyah emitted intense sword energy.

The vitality around the Sword King's mouth became stronger.

"I mean, Sizuru. I don't want to leave any trace of you in this world. If you leave your neck, you'll find a way to survive because you're a woman."

Perhaps it was because the activated state was an obsession.

"Right. I will tear apart all your flesh and turn your bones into dust... That's all I want."

The Sword King's killing intent, which meant tearing Sizuru apart, grew stronger.

Sizuru had no choice but to admit that the plan had failed.

Rather, now...

Bang!

"If this continues, even Aegis will be shattered...!"

Instead of being captivated by the Sword King again, she had to worry about her own life.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have released the fascination of the key personnel and only secured the Sword King...!"

Because she left the fascination of the Prime Minister and the Chairman, she couldn't fully execute the Sword King's brainwashing process.

Sizuru regretted her previous choice.

Considering the situation, she had to run away right now.

"But how can I escape... If I miss the Sword King here, it's over... Should I release the Prime Minister's fascination now and try again?"

Because of her lingering attachment to the Sword King, she hesitated for a moment.

Poof!

"Ack...!"

Aegis' shield burst.

As the protective barrier collapsed and the sword energy grazed her face, she finally regained her senses.

Step, step.

Unlike when the sword energy grazed her face, her entire face was covered in gold.

She felt her face breaking and clenched her teeth.

"My face...!"

"Don't worry. I'll tear it apart first."

Whizz!

When the sword energy pierced through Aegis' shield again, Sizuru quickly grabbed her necklace.

Flash!

Her body disappeared, wrapped in light.

As the Sword King, who lost sight of her, felt her presence disappear, he licked his lips.

"Ha, she escaped. She really cherishes her own body..."

How many items were she wearing as alternative means of protection?

She really had a variety of them.

At that moment.

"Um... Are you okay?"

Due to the continuous explosions, a Japanese staff member came into the room to observe the situation.

"He, heek...!"

And when he entered the room, he was startled to see the Sword King bleeding from his eyes and sat down on the floor in surprise.

More precisely, he was more scared of the Sword King's killing intent than seeing him bleeding.

And...

"Oh..."

As the Sword King, who had lost his eyes, felt his presence, he let out a cruel laugh.

"Good. There are plenty of hostages here."

=Game 1 and 2. Both won by Korea...!

=With the Sword King gone, the Japanese team couldn't stop Sung JiHan!

=But what happened to the Sword King...?

The course of the game between Korea and Japan took a completely unexpected turn.

When the Sword King logged out.

With no player to stop Sung JiHan, Japan, who had no choice but to crumble in disappointment.

"Ha, unbelievable."

However, Sung JiHan's expression remained unchanged despite winning two consecutive matches.

And that's understandable.

After all, it was enough to defeat Heukyeongseungcheon and all he had to do was feed it leaves.

But suddenly, Geomwang logged out, leaving him dumbfounded.

"Editing ability... How far is it possible? Controlling the BattleNet connector as well. It's really a headache."

At this level, shouldn't it be given an EX instead of SSS?

Sung JiHan blamed himself, saying that he should have just opened his mouth and fed the leaves to Geomwang without talking to him.

"Brother-in-law, are you being fascinated again...."

I should probably get stronger quickly and go to Japan myself.

Judging by Geomwang's skills, he would reach Diamond level, and once he reaches around level 200, he can easily overpower him.

I should grow to that extent, force-feed leaves to my brother-in-law, and turn Ito Shizuru into dust.

Sung JiHan thought about Shizuru.

"JiHan, are you okay?" Coach No Youngjun asked cautiously.

Even though he easily won two matches against the formidable opponent Japan, Sung JiHan was in a low-pressure state.

The coach had a rough idea of why Sung JiHan was like that.

"It must be because of Geomwang. It seems like JiHan has used up some of his energy...."

From the coach's perspective, thanks to that, they were able to win the Korea-Japan match, so that alone was enough.

But Sung JiHan's perspective would be different.

"If you're not feeling well, you can rest for the next matches."

Coach No Youngjun tried to persuade him carefully, considering Sung JiHan's feelings.

"No. I have to crush those bastards."

Sung JiHan stood up while saying that.

There's no time to rest.

I have to trample them.

"Well, okay...."

Coach No Youngjun tried to maintain a calm expression in response to that answer, but he couldn't hide his joy.

Honestly, if Geomwang and Sung JiHan fought separately,

I was worried if Korea could win against Japan.

But if Sung JiHan participates, there's no need to worry.

"You're really a lifesaver."

That's how the three matches unfolded.

= So it was Train in all three matches.

= Actually, now everyone's attention is focused on whether Sung JiHan will participate or not, rather than the map of the match. Ah... Sung JiHan. He didn't participate again!

= Yes. If you watch the replay of the first match, you'll see that the conversation between Sung JiHan and the Sword King was very significant. It was as if the Sword King had no recollection of what had happened so far!

= Um... I wonder... what kind of brainwashing has been undone...

= We can't jump to conclusions yet... Sung JiHan. What a remarkable move you made... In the first match, it seemed like you were falling behind the Sword King in the end!

= The explosion of the sword seems intentional now that I think about it!

= Anyway, if the Sword King doesn't participate in the three matches... we can expect the outcome of the match!

The voice of the commentators was filled with excitement.

When Sung JiHan was falling behind the Sword King, they had a sense of impending defeat.

They couldn't hide their excitement as the unexpected 3-0 victory became a reality in the Korea-Japan match.

- No. But seriously... what's happening?

- Is the Sword King really coming to his senses?

- The Japanese national team players were also quite nervous. They were all confident when the Sword King was there, but now they're all flustered.

- Wow, for once, if the Sword King comes, it feels like the Korean national team will sweep everything with Sung JiHan and the Sword King as a duo. Please, get your act together, old man.

Meanwhile, the chat room was completely focused on the Sword King, rather than showing interest in Korea's 2-0 lead.

- Sung JiHan! We thought you would do something for our Sword King!

- The Sword King's guys are still alive? Wow.

- The ones who cursed Sung JiHan the most were them, but they have no shame. Haha.

Especially with the recent reactivation of the Sword King's fans, who had been quiet for a while, they actively supported Sung JiHan, whom they used to criticize the most.

Until now, they secretly supported the Sword King from the shadows.

Thanks to Sung JiHan's attempt, if the Sword King just regains his senses, they could resume their activities together.

- Sung JiHan! Sung JiHan!

- Please save the Sword King!!

They actively cheered for Sung JiHan, whom they used to criticize the most.

And when the Train match started, not even five minutes had passed.

= Um... this is strange. Sung JiHan's attacks haven't even landed yet...

= The Japanese players are starting to log out...!

Following the Sword King's log out in the first match,

In the three matches, players from the Japanese national team were

"What? What is this?"

"Why are they logging out...!"

One by one, a unprecedented situation of forced log outs occurred.
