The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 166

Battle.net Center in Japan.

"Uh... uh..."

The Japanese director sat down and trembled.

Whip! Whip!

Around him, Sung JiHan's white sword was flying, causing the surroundings to turn to ashes.

Especially, the Battle.net connector was the main target of the sword.

Bang!

With a small explosion sound, smoke rose from the Battle.net connector that was cut by the white sword.

The director tightly closed his eyes.

"Ito Shizuru, trust only you! Why did things turn out like this...!"

He had been uneasy since Sung JiHan suddenly logged out during the first round.

Shizuru ran away, and Sung JiHan was completely out of control.

The only fortunate thing was that no one had been killed yet.

Most of the staff had already fled in fear.

The security guards of the Battle.net Center were unconscious from being struck by Sung JiHan's sword.

But it seemed like he had no intention of killing anyone...

Rumble...

Seeing sparks flying from several Battle.net connectors, it seemed like someone would be electrocuted even if they weren't cut by the sword.

"Sword, Sung JiHan! P-Please stop! If this explodes... the players might die!"

"If they die, they die."

"W-What...!"

"Or do you want me to kill them myself? Haha. Come to think of it, if everyone here dies, the Japanese national team will completely collapse."

Sung JiHan laughed while touching his crazed eyes.

Intense madness could be felt from him.

"P-Please spare us...!"

"Then bring Shizuru right now."

"H-How can we...!"

"Bringing her is your job."

Sueuk.

As the white sword dismantled the Battle.net connector, people were pulled out one by one from inside.

Even though his eyes were blind, Sung JiHan skillfully used the sword like his own hand.

It was a scene that showed why he was the number one warrior in the world rankings.

"Sword Prison."

And when he said that.

"What... what is this...!"

"Wha... what...!"

The light sword extended towards the players who were forcefully logged out from the connector.

The sword, which had grown to match the size of a person.

Capturing them inside the sword, they floated and brought them near Sung JiHan.

"This guy is not it."

"Ku... cough...!"

Thud!

Some of the captured players fainted and fell to the ground as the sword prison exploded.

"This guy... yes, he's fine."

Some players, 20 of them, were trapped inside the sword.

"What is this! Please save us...!"

"Stay quiet."

"Ugh...!"

By Sung JiHan's trick, they all fainted.

Even though they were confused after being forcefully logged out from the connector.

Despite being powerful players who were selected to represent the country, they were all subdued by Sung JiHan.

Gulp.

The Japanese director swallowed his saliva.

"This monster... Am I blind? The captured players are all top-ranked!"

The players trapped in the sword prison were the top 20 in the Japanese national team.

Even though his eyes were blind, Sung JiHan had selected only the most valuable hostages.

"I'll give you 12 hours. If you don't bring Shizuru within that time, I'll publicly execute one person every 10 minutes."

"No... no... public execution. That's..."

"So, call the reporter. Ah... no, I can't trust you."

The Sung JiHan, with his twisted eyes, spoke slowly.

"System, turn on the BattleTube."

The personal channel of the Sung JiHan, which had never been turned on since being fascinated by Sizuru.

For the first time since coming to Japan, the Sung JiHan turned on the BattleTube.

Meanwhile, at the Korean BattleNet Center.

"Our team was defeated, right?"

"That's right, hyungnim."

Kim DongWoo and Lee YoonKi came out of the BattleNet Connector with bright faces.

After the first game, the Japanese representative team, which had a loose screw somewhere, logged out.

They easily won the second game due to the difference in power, and the third game also ended in a failure due to a logout.

I don't know why it turned out like this, but anyway, since they won the anticipated Korea-Japan match, the players of the Korean representative team showed a generally cheerful atmosphere.

Of course.

"What happened in Japan, really..."

"Forced logout. We've never had such a thing in a BattleNet match."

"I can play for 3 hours even during a blackout. Connector."

"If it's a national representative-level machine, it should be able to run for 6 hours, right?"

Perhaps because the accident in the Japanese representative team had never happened before, everyone's attention was focused on that.

"Coach, any news yet?"

"Well... not yet. Ah, I heard that people are evacuating from the Japanese BattleNet Center..."

Coach No YoungJun's eyes widened as he heard the news from the Japanese side.

"What? Evacuation?"

"What happened?"

Sung JiHan, who won the MVP for three consecutive games, approached Coach No YoungJun with a firm face.

Then, on the monitor he was looking at, several breaking news appeared.

-Staff urgently evacuating from the Japanese BattleNet Center!

-Evidence of Sung JiHan going crazy is emerging...! It is suspected that Sung JiHan is causing a disturbance internally.

He must have gone crazy.

But he regained his sanity.

While thinking that, Sung JiHan asked Coach No YoungJun.

"I still don't know the details of the internal situation."

"Well, yes... um. It seems that Sung JiHan touched the BattleNet Connector... What will happen..."

While the coach crossed his arms and watched the monitor with a serious face.

One of the staff members shouted urgently.

"Co... Coach! Sung JiHan's BattleTube is opening!"

"What... BattleTube?! Show the screen right away!"

"Yes, understood!"

Ziiiiing.

The BattleTube screen of the excited Sung JiHan appeared.

"Oh...!"

"Eyes...!"

From the beginning, it shocked the viewers.

Sung JiHan, with both eyes twisted, and bloodstains that hadn't been wiped away under his eyes.

His appearance was like a horrifying sight, as if he had shed tears of blood.

[Hello.]

And from Sung JiHan, who opened his mouth, Korean came out.

The Korean language that he hadn't used even once since naturalizing to Japan.

[I deeply apologize to all the fans who have supported me in Korea. I went crazy because of a woman and caused a lot of trouble.]

As he said that, Sung JiHan lightly touched his eyes.

[Finally, after removing my own eyes... I have finally awakened from the illusion.]

"Ah... you regained your sanity. Sung JiHan! Is it you, JiHan? Did you do this?"

"Yes, but... judging by your eyes, it seems like it wasn't easy."

Did Sizuru try to fascinate him again?

To stab his own eyes.

"No, eyes... can be regenerated. It's more important not to be fascinated again."

Even if the disappeared body cannot be regenerated in reality, the healing effects of the supporter will improve like a game after the tutorial is over.

If only I could cling to life.

Sung JiHan calmly assessed the situation.

"I will make the decision myself this time..."

Now, I heard the story of the Sword King returning as 'Yoon Sejin'.

"I demand the Japanese government. Bring Shizuru to me immediately within 12 hours. If you don't bring her..."

Hmph. Hmph.

Is it because my eyes are gone?

The blind Sword King, who couldn't grasp how the Battle Tube's camera was capturing him, moved the imprisoned Sword Oak roughly in all directions.

Director No Youngjun opened his eyes wide and barely grasped the players spinning inside the Sword Oak.

"Ah... Sakura is here. And Heiji too... These are players with SS-level gifts trapped in the sword!"

"Except for my brother-in-law, aren't they players who can be selected within the top five in Japan? Who are they?"

"Yeah... They were quite troublesome players when the Sword King was in Korea. But to hold them hostage..."

"I will kill one of them every 10 minutes."

The Sword King, who only held the highest-level players hostage.

When he officially declared that he would kill them if Shizuru wasn't brought, Director No Youngjun frowned.

"Hmm. To announce murder...! If you become a murderer, you will be expelled by the International Battle Net Association..."

"What happens if I'm expelled?"

"You can't become a national representative, and you will be banned from participating in international matches."

Well, that's a rule that can be applied during the tutorial.

In the world after the tutorial, which entered the era of barbarism, it's not worth a damn.

Even if I get banned from participating. It's better to pull out Shizuru, who will be a long-term asset this time.

However.

"I can't leave her like that."

No matter how absolute the Sword King's power is, there are definitely limits to where he can use his power in reality.

Although he is currently demonstrating a powerful appearance while wielding the White Sword, it is uncertain when his energy will run out.

Then, it becomes fatal in a completely hostile Japan.

When Sung JiHan was about to pick up his phone to contact Manager Park Yoonsik,

"Uncle!"

Yoon Se-ah rushed into the Battle Net Center.

"Did you watch Dad's broadcast? Looks like he's out of the spell! Was it Uncle Sung JiHan?"

"Yeah."

"Ah... as expected! But Dad's eyes! What about his eyes? Ah, seriously... who stabs their own eyes...!"

With tears streaming down her face, Yoon Sae-ah poured out her words to Sung JiHan.

Although she had been putting on a strong front without any lingering feelings towards her father who had abandoned her, now that the situation had turned out like this, her true feelings were revealed.

Worries about Yoon Se-jin could be felt.

"For now, let's contact Manager Park Yoon-sik and ask him to arrange a flight to Japan."

"J-Japan? Going to Japan?"

"Yes. You... no matter what, that's..."

When Sung JiHan casually mentioned going to Japan, everyone looked at him in surprise.

No, even if that's the case, isn't it too hasty to immediately go to Japan without observing the situation?

"Brother-in-law, you won't be able to endure for long without your eyes. You'll also need to eat the leaves of the World Tree."

"Uh... that's true, but won't it be dangerous?"

"It will be dangerous. Me?"

Sung JiHan's smirk exuded absolute confidence.

Well, he's someone who can stop bullets in mid-air with his domain control.

If Sung JiHan and Geomwang work together, from the opponent's perspective, it would be nothing short of a disaster.

"Uh... but still, even if you can't communicate and don't know the geography..."

"I will go with you."

Even though Yoon Sae-ah continued to worry, Akari, who had been silently standing behind her, stepped forward.

"In terms of combat, I might not be of much help... but I can definitely fulfill the role of a guide in Japan."

"But the problem is Sae-ah."

"I will go too..."

"That's not possible."

"Ah, I understand. Then I'll stay at home quietly! So don't worry and go with Akari unnie!"

"Um..."

As Sung JiHan hesitated at Yoon Sae-ah's words.

"Se-ah, I'll take care of it."

Ha Yeon-joo, who had been watching nearby, stepped forward.

As one of the top-level players in Korea, she was always heavily guarded.

She was the perfect opponent to temporarily entrust Yoon Se-ah to.

"...Can I ask you a favor?"

"Of course. I hope that Master Sung JiHan returns safely to Korea."

"Yeah. Don't worry about me! I'll be with Yeon-joo unni!"

In no time, Yoon Se-ah stuck close to Ha Yeon-joo and waved her hand to Sung JiHan.

Seeing this, he smirked and took out his phone.

"Manager Park Yoon-sik. Please reserve two seats on the flight to Japan."

"Oh, Japan...?"

"Yes. Right away."

---

The live broadcast of the Battle King became a hot topic worldwide.

Especially on the Battle Tube of the Battle King, viewers from both Korea and Japan flocked in huge numbers.

The number of viewers easily surpassed ten million.

-Battle King ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I believed in you, I didn't expect you to come back like this ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-What should I do with my eyes ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-There must be a way to watch it on Battle.net... Let's gather donations under the name of the Battle King!

-Wow, the Battle King is not a failure ㅋㅋㅋ There are so many comments

-Huh... Is this a real hostage situation?

-Ugh... This is why you shouldn't trust Choom...! What is the national team doing? Can one person really be treated like that?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The Japanese guys are going crazy.

-wwww

-For real ㅋㅋㅋ Give back the Battle King right away and become the bottom of the league wwww

After the Battle King went to Japan, Koreans who were mocked by Japanese netizens.

This time, the tables were turned, and they mocked them back.

But still.

-But isn't this turning into a real murder case?

-For real, will Shizuru come out? The atmosphere is getting really intense.

-What is the Self-Defense Force doing?? We should subdue the Battle King right away!

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Before subduing the Battle King, won't the hostages die first?

-If they die, won't Japan really become the bottom?

-Yes, there are only three SS-class hostages.

Although the Japanese Self-Defense Force had a special subduing unit for top players.

The player who was holding the Battle King hostage was a key member of the Japanese national team, so they couldn't easily subdue the Battle King.

"Ito Ryuhei, immediately disarm and release the hostage!"

Surrounding the Japanese Battle.net Center from a distance, they only demanded the Battle King to release the hostage through a loudspeaker.

"As expected, it seems like they don't plan on bringing him back."

Creak...!

In addition to the 20 people trapped by the sword.

Bang!

"Ugh...!"

While the others who were unconscious were showing signs of waking up.

"Who should I execute first? Is it Sakura, the most annoying one in Japan?"

The Battle King, on the live broadcast channel with over ten million viewers.

He spoke of death without hesitation.

As time passed, the atmosphere grew heavier.

'We might really die like this...!'

'What is the government doing!'

When the Japanese staff who were watching the situation from afar fell into despair.

Tap. Tap.

"Uh..."

"That person is..."

A woman entered the Battle.net Center where the hostage situation was taking place.

"I'm here... Ryuhei."

Just a moment ago, Shizuru, who had hastily escaped, had returned on her own.

And as soon as the Battle King heard her voice.

"Yeah. Die."

They swung their swords simultaneously.
