The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 279

[Sung JiHan, the Seat of Emptiness, asks you where the sacred place is.]

Sung JiAh, who is the seat of Yun SeA, who has not talked about the stars for a while.

A few days ago, she suddenly found the sacred place.

"Mom, it's been a while. Why is Uncle not here? Can't see him practicing right now."

At that time, Sung JiHan was at Artmu's blacksmith shop, strengthening his dragon flame.

Not knowing the details, Yun SeA said to Sung JiAh.

Then.

[The Seat of Emptiness, the Witch of Emptiness, says that if she wants to maintain the lineage of humanity a little longer, she tells Sung JiHan not to strengthen the emptiness anymore. She asks why he became a 'target of detection' for the will of emptiness and tells him to be careful.]

[Also, I inform you that there is a significant difference in power between humanity and the reported data of NO. 4212, so the surveillance network of emptiness towards humanity will become stronger. Be careful as two more Abysses will appear.]

"No. What? Mom. Does that make sense? Is it a sin to do well in school?"

[The Seat of Emptiness says that anyone would suspect if the last place student suddenly becomes first.]

Yun SeA heard Sung JiAh's metaphor and recalled the report on humanity that Sung JiHan had previously made public.

No investment value.

The possibility of staying in the league was 0.3 percent, right?

While it made sense to think about it, she felt unjust deep down.

"No... well, that's true. But humanity has been benefiting from Uncle's favoritism. Does it make sense to make more Abysses because of that? So even though I did well, more dungeon portals will appear?"

[The Witch of Emptiness says that it will depend on who becomes the owner of the newly created Abyss.]

"The owner..."

[When Sung JiHan returns, it is better to deal with this before the owners of the two newly created Abysses are assigned.]

"Got it. But can we handle the already created Abyss? Won't more appear?"

[If you can handle the Abyss, it will prove that humanity has the ability to be in the current ranking, so it's okay. However, when an owner is assigned, it will be almost impossible to conquer, so it is better to quickly eliminate it as a warning.]

"We need to deal with it quickly."

After hearing Sung JiAh's warning, Yun SeA impatiently waited for Sung JiHan to return.

She stopped leveling up twice a day, continuously.

"...But I didn't expect it to be the 15th."

"I thought he would come at the end of the month. May was supposed to be a relaxed schedule."

"Well... that's true. Anyway, things have gone crazy now."

Beep!

Yoon Sae-ah picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

A breaking news alert appeared on the screen.

= Near Pyongyang, a newly formed rift. This is the appearance of the Abyss. The crimson crack is gradually widening, accompanied by powerful earthquakes.

= Unlike the first Abyss, the newly formed Abyss does not receive support from a giant dungeon portal. The size of the rift is relatively small. However, as the cracks in the rift gradually widen, both the government and the World Battle Net Federation have declared a state of emergency.

= The World Battle Net Federation has sought cooperation from 'Christoph', who possesses exceptional exploration skills, and the strongest player in humanity, 'Sung JiHan', regarding this incident. However...

The screen then switched to a different scene.

Yoon Sae-ah was being interviewed with a bewildered expression.

= Uncle... I've been waiting too. But I don't have any schedule until the end of this month, so I was told to continue training and come back. I don't know when you'll be back.

= As such, Sung JiHan is currently absent.

"...When did you do the interview again?"

"The government and the association called, and the reporters were really persistent. It was a situation where I had to do the interview."

"I see. So, Christoph is Korean?"

"Yeah. He's going to explore the Abyss. He's currently forming an investigation team with my dad."

"You too?"

"I have to go too. Unlike before, I'm now a top-tier player, you know?"

When Yoon Sae-ah first went on an Abyss exploration, she was only at a level beyond ordinary.

But now, due to her potential for greatness, she had grown into a player who could be counted on one hand in Korea.

Of course, for the safety of her nephew, it would be better for her to stay at home.

But knowing Yoon Sae-ah's personality, that wouldn't be possible.

"Yeah. Let's go."

"Yeah. Everyone is gathering at the Battle Net Center right now. I'll let them know."

As soon as Sung JiHan returned, he left the house.

* * *

The new rift, in front of the Abyss.

"It seems that monsters don't come out like in the existing Abyss."

"Yes, earthquakes occur intermittently, and each time the cracks are gradually widening."

"In that case, how does the size compare to the original Abyss?"

"It's about half the size."

The investigation team dispatched by the Battle.net Federation was closely analyzing the Abyss, which had not yet fully activated.

However, there were limitations to understanding the Abyss no matter how closely they observed it from a distance.

Sung JiHan stepped forward as the vanguard of the investigation team.

"You continue the investigation outside, and I will enter first."

"Should I come too?"

Chrisdoph, the scout, raised his hand among the investigation team.

"No, I will go in first and take a look. We don't know what's inside."

Sung JiHan decided to enter alone.

Swoosh!

Jumping into the crack, he began to fall endlessly inside the Abyss.

"This time, it doesn't seem to repel like the previous Abyss."

When Sung JiHan and Geomwang entered the Abyss together before,

The owner of the Abyss changed the entry conditions and said that they could only enter if they were part of the Grand Master League, and they were bounced off.

This time, the Abyss seemed to have no owner, so the entry itself was smooth.

However,

"It's endless."

Shoooo!

Even though it seemed like he should have arrived by now, Sung JiHan continued to fall.

While falling, he recalled what Sung JiAh had said.

"If you want to maintain the lineage of humanity, don't strengthen the Void anymore? And I became a target for the will of the Void...."

For Sung JiHan, the Void stat was an essential ability.

Especially in the current situation where he had to fight against Longinus, the High Elf.

When he eliminated the High Elf and upgraded his title, which went against the order, he wondered when that would happen.

Why did the fate of humanity suddenly become connected to Sung JiHan's Void, and even the Abyss started to pop out?

"Hmm...."

Thump!

Putting aside the unsolved mystery for now, Sung JiHan landed on the ground.

A space engulfed in darkness where not even sunlight could enter.

When he lightly spread his index finger,

Whoosh!

The underground space quickly brightened like daylight.

"I didn't know I could use Dragon Flame as a torch."

Investing most of his GP, he found out that the initial use of the ability with a raised stat of 150 was as a torch.

Sung JiHan chuckled and looked around.

"There's nothing here."

Unlike the presence of the crack revealed on the surface, the interior was empty.

However, the ground was shaking, and the cracks were gradually widening.

Thinking that there must be a force acting from the inside, Sung JiHan spread his soul widely and did his best to sense the power.

And soon.

"I can feel the power of the Void over there."

The Void was so scarce that it was difficult to detect even with the spatial dominance of the soul.

Sung JiHan followed that small clue and walked inside.

Then.

Swoooosh....

In the darkness, the aura of the Void, which had been hiding its appearance,

Spread in all directions and began to form letters.

Although it didn't belong to any country in this world, Sung JiHan could strangely read the characters.

["Level 1 surveillance target - Gilgamesh has been detected in this world...."]

["Dispatching 'Hydrogen with Seven Colors of the Sky'."]

["Summoning is in progress."]

"Was the Abyss created because of Gilgamesh? Not everything my sister said was correct."

Gilgamesh, the first-class target.

Sung JiHan sacrificed his body as an offering to achieve the Heavenly River Divine Spirit, and as a result, he awakened.

Is the Abyss created like the butterfly effect?

But why is it trying to capture Gilgamesh from the Void?

When Sung JiHan had doubts.

[Summoning in progress....]

In the last sentence, the dots began to increase gradually.

Then.

The hydrogen characters in the sky became clearer and clearer.

The faint emptiness within it poured out explosively.

"Even if Gilgamesh is the target, it would be troublesome if the owner of the Abyss is summoned."

Is there any way to stop it before the summoning?

While thinking about this, Sung JiHan brought his hand closer to examine the characters.

Then, when his finger, which was emitting dragon flame, touched the characters.

"Hmm...."

Whoosh!

The flames spread rapidly on the characters, starting to burn the sentence created by the Void.

"Did these characters... originally disappear like this? Or..."

Creak!

Sung JiHan put away the dragon flame and instead summoned a lightning strike.

Shoo...

As the flames of the dragon flame disappeared, the burning characters quickly extinguished and returned to their original state.

The emptiness within them had weakened compared to before.

In addition, Sung JiHan used lightning strikes instead.

"This doesn't work."

Fizz!

The lightning strikes simply passed through the characters.

Although the lightning strikes contained a strong aura of fire, it did not affect the characters.

When Sung JiHan changed the lightning strikes back into dragon flame, the characters started burning again.

Whoosh...

The characters were quickly incinerated.

The fire that burned all the characters of the Void created new characters.

[Summoning circle has been deleted.]

[Summoning failed.]

[Abyss without an owner is closing.]

Flash! Flash!

As soon as the message saying that the Abyss was closing appeared.

Light burst out from the cracked ground, and Sung JiHan's body flew upward above the crack.

"Uh..."

"W-What just happened?"

While the people investigating the Abyss on the ground were confused.

Thump!

Sung JiHan, who had escaped from the Abyss, landed on the ground calmly.

And as he came out.

Kururur...

The cracked fissure closed quickly.

"Uncle! W-What did you do?"

"Sung! How did you find the Dungeon Core? Do you also have the ability to search?!"

After Sung JiHan entered and less than ten minutes passed, the fissure disappeared.

Everyone looked at him with surprise.

Well, they already knew he was a monster, but to make the Abyss disappear so quickly?

"No. The core doesn't exist yet. I only destroyed the summoning circle."

"Summoning circle...?"

"Did my brother-in-law go to the second Abyss?"

"Yes. The Sword King was dispatched there."

"I'll go there first. Take your time."

Swoosh!

With that word, Sung JiHan disappeared.

The investigation team dispatched to the rift looked at each other with bewildered faces.

"Sung... wouldn't it be better if we went together in a car?"

"Uncle, Sung is faster than a car."

"Ah, if it's Sung... I guess so..."

"It seems like everything will be finished by the time we arrive there."

"That's right."

Indeed, with Sung JiHan's intervention, everything was resolved in an instant.

The members of the investigation team, grateful to be dispatched with Sung JiHan, prepared to leave.

And the members of the second rift arrived.

"Dad, what are you doing there?"

"Hmm... let only my nephew go in. I'm deflecting the barrier."

"When did Uncle go in?"

"It's already been two hours."

They stiffened their expressions after seeing the situation in the second rift.

Unlike before, it wasn't easily resolved here.

* * *

Inside the second Abyss.

"Here, something has already been summoned."

Kaaaah!

Sung JiHan was entering the interior, annihilating various monsters pouring in from all directions.

Unlike the empty Abyss from earlier.

This place was filled with monsters in every direction.

And...

"There are only undead here."

Starting with ghosts.

Various giant monster bones and corpses were attacking Sung JiHan from all directions.

They were not easy beings to deal with for other human players.

Whirrr!

"Yongyeom, you're useful."

With the fire of the dragon that Sung JiHan summoned, even the largest beings turned into ashes without any resistance.

He easily swept away the undead and headed towards a place where a powerful energy could be felt.

Judging from the pouring undead...

The owner of this Abyss must be related to the undead.

"But... this energy. It feels familiar."

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow.

The more he went inside, the energy he felt...

It was something very familiar to him.

Similar to emptiness, a strong energy of death.

This is...

[Hey, Head!! Long time no see!]

Snap! Snap!

At the deepest part of the rift.

A giant black skull clashed its teeth and confronted Sung JiHan.

"...Kalein. Were you dispatched here?"

[That's right! Head. You... what kind of trouble did you cause? Why did you get caught?!]

"Me?"

[That's right! The fire of the dragon, that naughty thing... where did you learn it?!]

Kalein welcomed Sung JiHan.

While doing so, his red eyes flickered towards Yongyeom.
