The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 258

Dragon tribe.

Humanity had encountered this tribe once before.

- The dragon tribe appeared in the rehearsal game, right?

- Yeah, they shot a breath as soon as they entered the map. They were strong.

- But Sung JiHan was able to take them down.

- Well, Sung JiHan was a Hashling at that time....

The "Blue Dragon Tribe" showed a strong presence in the rehearsal map opened by Sung JiHan in the chaotic battlefield.

They were eventually subdued by Sung JiHan, but they gave a strong shock to the viewers.

Are they going to fight those monsters in the Space League and make them crumble, the dragon tribe that made people shrink?

In just the third game, they ended up playing against humanity.

= "Red-haired Dragon Tribe". They are currently in second place.

= If they're in second place, it means they've won both of their first two games and are also earning points.

= We must win this time and change our ranking position.

As the third game opponent was determined, one of the ranked tribes appeared as "???".

The "Red-haired Dragon Tribe" is a top-ranked tribe that ranks second among them.

Sung JiHan thought as he heard the ranking of the dragon tribe.

"They still haven't met the elves."

If we judge only by the tribe's specs, they are definitely superior to the elves.

However, they have always shown a weak side to the World Tree Elves.

After all the tribes in the league were opened.

Every time their game results came out, the dragon tribe had never defeated the World Tree Elves.

"Well, besides the dragon tribe, there's no other tribe that has defeated the World Tree Elves...."

The World Tree Elves, who ranked from first to fifth in the Bronze League in the Space League.

Except for the matches among themselves, they had no losses.

Still, no matter how strong the elves were, the dragon tribe could win one or two games.

Until humanity was demoted, the World Tree Elves firmly held the 1-5th place.

"This time, let's shake up the stagnant top rankings."

Unlike the previous life.

This time, Sung JiHan decided to step forward and shake up the rankings himself.

He watched as the coaches of both tribes came out.

And on the screen.

= Uh....

= This time, the table isn't coming out?

= Is this... above the clouds?

The coaches' room where the two tribes revealed each other's hands.

It had a completely different scenery from usual.

"Hmm...."

As he entered the coach's room, Davis, who was standing on the clouds, rolled his eyes and walked slowly forward.

Thump. Thump.

He was worried that he might fall if he took one more step forward.

"Fortunately, these clouds can be stepped on...."

The clouds didn't disappear like smoke, they supported Davis's body.

Feeling relieved, Davis walked slowly.

Sssss.

Suddenly, as he saw a shadow falling towards him, he looked up.

And then...

[.......]

A massive red dragon, like a mountain, suddenly appeared without any warning.

"Th-that person... is it a dragon...?"

"Wow... It's much bigger than the dragons we saw during the rehearsal!"

During the rehearsal, the dragon was several times larger than the hatchling.

When Director Davis saw the gigantic creature, he realized why his office had transformed into a cloud.

The previous office wouldn't have been able to accommodate such a massive being.

And then...

Sssss...

As the red dragon's yellow eyes moved, it looked down at Director Davis.

"Uh...!"

Unconsciously, Davis sat down on the cloud.

There was no special power in the dragon's gaze.

Even if there was, the mental protection provided by the BattleNet would have blocked it.

"Just the dragon itself is terrifying..."

Just by being looked down upon by such a massive creature, Director Davis felt an instinctual threat.

-Davis, why are you so scared? Haha, you'll lose your momentum in a fight like this!

-Well, if I were there, I would've peed myself...

-Oh, but you're still standing. Though your legs are shaking.

-Yeah, let's select and ban.

As Davis sat down, he somehow managed to stand up and hold the select and ban cards in front of him.

"For now, I need to do a scouting mission."

Since there was no information about the dragon race.

Director Davis chose the most versatile option among the ban cards.

The option to ban three players randomly from the top 10.

"And for the select card... Valkyrie."

Among the human players, Sung JiHan, who was in a league of his own.

To firmly push him, Director Davis took out the warrior map, Valhalla.

And then...

Flash!

As a light burst in front of him, he startled and stepped back.

"Ah... It was a c-card."

After the light disappeared, what he saw were two cards flipped by the opponent.

Among them, the ban card was flipped first.

"The dragon's ban card is the same as Director Davis's. Three players from the top 10 will be banned!"

["Among the top 1-10 players of 'Red-haired Dragon', 3 players will be banned."]

["Players ranked 1, 3, and 5 have been banned. They will not participate in the first match."]

["Among the top 1-10 players of 'Human', 3 players will be banned."]

["Players ranked 3, 4, and 7 have been banned. They will not participate in the first match."]

-Oh, Sung JiHan survived!

-And they banned the top-ranked dragon too, haha!

-This director is definitely good at banning. He's lucky, haha.

The same option was chosen, but the ban option went in favor of the humans.

Director Davis let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Sung JiHan, who ranked second, had survived.

"Now all we need is for the select cards to work well...!"

If only the Valhalla map is chosen, it will be the best outcome.

Whoosh!

Director Davis watched as the opponent's select cards were flipped.

=The opponent's select cards... Oh, it's the Chaos Battlefield! Wasn't this the map we played during rehearsal?

=Yes, at that time, the game was played with 10 different races taking turns. This map can also be used for 1v1 matches.

=It was a map that favored the flying race. It seems like they chose a map that maximizes their own strengths!

Director Davis couldn't help but smile at this.

"Sung JiHan showed his winning strategy on this map."

In the Chaos Battlefield, if the number of players participating in the game falls below 10 percent, it results in defeat.

Sung JiHan overcame this penalty by trapping the human players in a corner.

"Being caught in a warrior map is the best option. But even if it's the Chaos Battlefield, it's not that bad."

Director Davis thought positively when he saw the opponent's card being revealed.

[The map for the first match has been determined.]

[The first match will take place on the survival map, 'Chaos Battlefield'.]

Sung JiHan, who saw the map being determined in the waiting room, predicted the game result with a calm face.

"The first match will be tough."

* * *

Chaos Battlefield.

The start of the first match seemed to be going well.

[Race adjustment in progress.]

[For each dragon race, 50 players will be summoned as equals.]

Just like in rehearsal, in the Chaos Battlefield, 50 humans were summoned for each dragon.

Flash! Flash!

The representatives of humanity began to be summoned from all over the Chaos Battlefield.

"Oh... Am I participating too?"

"I thought I would be on the bench forever..."

The battlefield where 2,000 players from the representative team revealed themselves.

[All players selected as representatives of their races have been summoned.]

[3,000 more players are needed.]

[The remaining players will be summoned according to their rankings.]

To fill the remaining spots, even those who were not selected for the representative team were summoned from Earth.

"Oh, I'm participating after watching TV!"

"It was the same during the Orcs... I surprisingly have many opportunities to participate!"

"Great!"

The top players who were not part of the representative team were happy to have the chance to participate.

"Oh... Summoning 5,000 human players... Does that mean there are 100 dragons?"

"Yes! And unlike the rehearsal map, the human players are scattered in various regions! They are divided into groups of 500 and placed in 10 different locations!"

"Ah, and unlike the rehearsal, the defeat condition is if the number of survivors falls below 20 percent...!"

The voices of the commentators, who were watching the game situation, became serious.

The start of the game was unfavorable for humanity, unlike during the rehearsal.

-If the number of survivors falls below 1,000, is it over?

-Oh, with them being scattered all over the place, Sung JiHan can't confine the players like last time -_-.

- Seriously, back then it was so easy to carry the team by myself...

- Ah, the players back then and now are completely different. Back then, they were just baggage, but now they're representatives of humanity. Do you really think you can hold back Sung JiHan?

During the rehearsal, the skill level of my fellow players was low.

But the players participating in the Space League matches are the strongest among humanity.

Viewers felt a sense of unease about the lineup, but they didn't think humanity would be easily defeated.

And it wasn't just the viewers who thought that.

"Inventory."

As soon as Sung JiHan was assigned to the battlefield of chaos, he tried to take out his sword from his inventory and use the Full Moon Devotion.

At that moment, Baran, who was watching him from the side, spoke up.

"Jihan... You're not thinking of trapping us inside that sword like during the rehearsal, right?"

"That's the plan."

"No! Don't do it!"

He urgently stopped him.

"We are representatives of humanity! Not just baggage like during the rehearsal! We can also stand against dragons!"

"We have to save a thousand people. Didn't you see the conditions for defeat?"

"Before we lose a thousand people, can't we just bring them down to less than 20 percent? Why do you think we'll lose without even trying? We are the strongest of humanity!"

Hoo.

Sung JiHan let out a small sigh.

This guy. Why didn't he just troll?

He looked around.

"Yeah... Do we have any reason not to fight dragons as representatives of humanity?"

"Dragon Slayer. If not now, when?"

"During the last rehearsal game, the participating players were platinum, that's why we were pushed back like that!"

Many players listened to Sung JiHan and Baran's conversation and whispered to each other, sympathizing with Baran.

Perhaps because they were chosen as representatives of the human race, they were all reluctant to fight and be trapped in the Full Moon Devotion.

"Inventory."

Seeing their reaction, Sung JiHan put his sword back into his inventory.

Ignoring their resistance, he could have used the Full Moon Devotion like a dictator.

"But even if we do that, if a few manage to escape, we'll still lose anyway. It's better to experience it once."

The battlefield of chaos, where the chances of winning were slim anyway.

Sung JiHan decided to wake up the players of the human representative team to reality.

"Alright. Let's fight."

"Oh. Great! I'll use my ultimate magic right away...! Where are those dragon bastards?!"

Baran was about to use magic excitedly when Sung JiHan calmly said, "No. Try to block that with your magic or whatever."

"What...?"

As he pointed his finger towards the sky, his eyes widened in astonishment.

And for good reason.

"The breath is coming towards us."

A massive flame engulfed the entire sky.

It was rapidly descending towards them.

"Ah. Absolute Shield...!"

The players who wished for Baran quickly used defensive magic.

Whoosh!

The Fire Breath swept away the players as it was.
