The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 251

"We won."

"Great job!"

The Chinese coach smiled as he received congratulations from the coaching staff.

With a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, they entered the fourth match of the "Golem Battle."

Now victory was within their grasp.

"The third match was the most challenging. We were lucky."

If the Valhalla map had been chosen or if Sung JiHan had been unbanned, they would have lost the three matches.

Fortunately, both variables favored China, giving them the advantage.

If even one had gone wrong, they might have lost this series.

The Chinese coach thought to himself, "We must win the Champions League this year before Korea rises further."

After Sung JiHan's appearance, the Korean national team suffered a sudden decline.

The coach believed that this team would become even stronger in the future.

Not only did Korea have Sung JiHan, but they also had the guild he created.

"For now, we accept players from all countries, but we must keep our arms folded inward. If another Korean talent emerges, we will push them forward intentionally."

If players like Yoon Se-jin and Yoon Se-ah were added to the current Korean national team.

China would not be able to overcome their weakness in the regional league against Korea.

In fact, today's game was only won due to luck.

If the map selection had been unfavorable, the game could have been turned around at any moment.

"We will take first place this year."

The Chinese coach crossed his arms and looked at the game screen.

On both ends of the grand stage.

Ten giant steel golems stood side by side.

The Korean golem at the eastern end and the Chinese golem at the western end.

The supporters participating in the game were not visible on the stage.

They were working in a separate space called the "Golem Control Room," providing buffs to their respective golems.

"Indeed, our golem is bigger."

"Korean supporters are not up to par. It's the expected result."

The Chinese golem and the Korean golem.

The difference in size was evident at a glance, with the Chinese golem being 1.5 to 2 times larger.

It was like an adult facing a child.

The size of the golem varied depending on the buffs given by the supporters.

"Was the Korean support really at that level? The difference in size is greater than expected."

"The influence of player Lee Jin-wook being banned is also significant. He was a key supporter for Korea."

"Haha... Anyway, this game. The outcome is already decided."

Seeing the size of the golems, the Chinese coach became even more confident of victory.

"I should prepare for the victory interview."

"Yes, the reporters are already waiting."

While contemplating what to say during the interview, the Chinese coach suddenly exclaimed, "Uh... What is that?"

"Co... Coach, look at that."

"There's something strange about the Korean golem!"

Looking at the screen, the coaching staff were surprised, furrowing their brows.

What's wrong all of a sudden?

As he turned his head, he saw.

"...What, what is that? That plant golem..."

Thump! Thump!

A golem with stems and leaves growing abundantly on the steel.

It charged forward, pounding the ground.

* * *

-We lost...

-It's a big blow to lose three matches...

-Valhalla didn't trigger, and Sung JiHan was banned. Why is the probability like this, seriously...

-The Chinese coach is so ruthless, banning Lee Jin-wook.

-Even if they didn't ban him, you guys would have won...

Korean fans accepting defeat as the golem battle map was determined.

Before the players in the golem control room appeared, they gave up completely after seeing the difference in size between the two countries' golems.

-Look at the size difference, haha. It's like a fight between a child and an adult.

-Why is the difference in supporters so significant? We didn't even see Joo Ryung-ryung.

-Didn't you see the warriors dying in the first match? Except for top-tier players who survived the competition among 1.3 billion people, the basic skill level is different.

- This can't go on any longer... Bring Sophia to naturalization quickly!

- To win the championship, we need to bring Sophia;

- Facing four consecutive losses.

- Korean fans who started the campaign to naturalize Sophia as a joke are now pushing it seriously.

- However, when the screen that initially showed the waiting golem switched to the golem control room,

- Everyone raised question marks in the chat.

- ???

- Did I see something wrong? Isn't that Sung JiHan?

- Yeah, Sung JiHan. Why is he there?

- No wonder China said our golem is too small... We didn't even have one supporter, lol.

- Wait, did he want to participate in all four games...

- Sung JiHan, who became one of the ten supporters, confidently joined the battle.

- "Now, should I give buffs and heals to that golem core?"

- He asked the supporter next to him while looking at the golem core assigned to him.

- "Yes, that's right. If you give buffs to that golem core, the assigned golem becomes stronger. If it's heavily damaged, you can heal it to restore it."

- "I see. But the size difference between us and China's golem is significant. Why is that?"

- "The size is set initially based on supporting skills, abilities, and equipment. Maybe... that Sung JiHan player doesn't have the relevant abilities, so our golem looks small on their side..."

- The female supporter explained kindly to Sung JiHan, but her voice trailed off.

- Sung JiHan had something to experiment with, only when he joined the ten supporters.

- He had expected that his amazing ability would strengthen the base of the golem,

- "Not at all."

- On the contrary, the Korean golem was even smaller and more pathetic than expected.

- Did Sung JiHan's participation ultimately result in failure?

- "Understood. Then, let's try the experiment."

- "Ah. Experiment... Isn't it over?"

- "It's just the beginning now."

- Sung JiHan looked at the golem core under his jurisdiction and reached out to it.

- The spherical object of red light, the golem core, didn't move even when his hand touched it,

- "Let's use the Divine Skill of the Fifth Immortal, Cheonsugangshin, in this state."

- The martial art known for implementing powerful regeneration like an elf to the user when their body is torn apart by the Eastern Dagger.

Sung JiHan used the Golem Core while holding it.

Perhaps because his current physical condition was normal, the life force that had been swirling around Sung JiHan's body subsided.

Flash!

The red Golem Core flickered, and green light flashed.

Sssss...!

Leaves and stems began to grow on top of the Steel Golem's body.

"Uh... Uh... The, the Golem...!"

The supporter who had been watching Sung JiHan from the side was startled and trembled in surprise.

"I'm not sure if this is working well."

Even though Sung JiHan saw that his Golem's appearance had changed, he smirked.

It seems like the effect of the Divine Blessing is in it...

"How does this move?"

"We can only give buffs, we can't control it. When you give the command to charge with the Golem Core in hand, that's when the battle starts. It's common for everyone to shout 'charge' when the other supporters are ready..."

"Charge."

Sung JiHan listened to the supporter's words that they should all do it together.

He immediately commanded his Golem to charge.

And then...

Thud! Thud!

Sung JiHan's Golem, standing side by side with the other nine Golems, started running first.

"What... What is it? Why did he rush out first?"

In a battle where charging simultaneously is important...

One Golem acting on its own, a supporter shouted angrily, asking what the other supporter was doing.

"Oh... That, that's Sung JiHan's Golem."

"Yeah, right? Well, he could charge. Wow! The appearance is different, isn't it?"

When they heard that it was the Golem controlled by Sung JiHan, the supporter who had been speaking loudly quickly lowered his tone.

It wasn't just anyone.

It was Sung JiHan, the core of the national team, so they couldn't dare to question why he didn't follow the lineup.

"I'm sorry. It's my first time giving orders, so I didn't have time to line up."

"I-It's okay! Anyway..."

It's a game, after all.

The supporter who was about to say that widened his eyes as he watched the game screen.

Bang!

It was Sung JiHan's Golem that rushed forward alone.

He crushed one Chinese Golem.

"That... it breaks so easily like that?"

In a Golem battle, if the size of the Golem is 1.5 to 2 times larger, it means that its performance is also that much better.

It was impossible for the body to crumple like that from a small Golem's punch.

"Sung JiHan came to experiment... Did he see some kind of effect?"

The supporter's eyes gleamed as he shouted to his teammates.

"Everyone, charge!"

Thump. Thump.

Following Sung JiHan's Golem at the forefront, the nine Korean Golems quickly charged towards the Chinese camp.

The usual Golem battle started earlier than usual, with all the buffs applied.

* * *

"Ah...! The clash of the Golems from both countries. Now... the outline is starting to show."

"Five Chinese Golems destroyed. Korea... has lost eight!"

A fierce battle between the Golems of both countries.

The number of surviving Golems was as expected before the start of the game.

China had more.

If we only consider the surviving Golems so far, it seemed that the victory would ultimately go to China.

-Wow...

-Sung JiHan's Golem. It's alive again?

The situation didn't flow so one-sidedly.

"We need to kill him quickly! What are you doing?"

The Chinese coach, who was preparing for a victory interview before the game, scolded the screen with a frustrated face.

In the screen he was looking at.

Bang! Bang!

The five Chinese Golems were surrounding and attacking Sung JiHan's Golem together.

With a powerful strike!

Against the fierce attack of a Golem twice its size.

As its stems and leaves were trampled, Sung JiHan's Golem's body crumpled.

But then...

Flash!

As if the crumpled body was shining with green light.

Sung JiHan's Golem returned to its original state.

-Wow, it regenerated again lol

-What kind of buff is he using to be immortal? ㄷㄷ

No matter how much it was crushed, Sung JiHan's Golem restored its original form.

Even when it was being hit like that.

Whoosh!

It grabbed the foot of the Chinese Golem that was attacking it and started rolling on the ground together.

They started a mud fight.

Thump! Thump!

Even if it was being attacked from all sides.

Sung JiHan's Golem mercilessly struck the body of the Chinese Golem.

Bang!

When Sung JiHan's Golem struck the inside of the Golem's body properly.

The Golem core exploded, and the movement of the Chinese Golem stopped.

"Chinese Golem. One more destroyed!"

"We also had one more destroyed..."

"It's 4:1, but somehow, I feel like we can still win!"

Thinking that they had lost four games and feeling exhausted.

As the game progressed unexpectedly, the tone of the commentators became more excited.

But the ones who were more excited were undoubtedly the Korean fans.

"One more kill added lol"

"He gets hit like that and still gets up... wow..."

"If it's like this, even the Golem battle can't stop Sung JiHan."

"He's doing it all by himself, really lol"

"The Republic of Korea's championship is showing..."

If the weakness of the Korean national team, the Golem battle map, is overcome like this.

The only thing left to stop Sung JiHan is a ban.

Boom! Boom!

Sung JiHan's golem knocked down one more.

When the score was rearranged to 3:1, Korean fans became even more excited.

"Cheonsugangshin... Now it's losing power."

Sung JiHan, who was infusing the golem core with the vitality of life, reached his limit.

Because he continued to bestow the power of Cheonsugangshin on the golem core instead of using it on himself.

There was a limit to his strength.

"Uh..."

"The leaves... are disappearing...!"

"The stems won't regenerate either."

And, in the situation where it was 2:1.

The leaves on Sung JiHan's golem fell to the ground.

It began to lose the regenerative power that was like an immortal.

Then, Sung JiHan's golem, which was powerful compared to its size, also lost its strength.

Thud! Thud!

The Chinese golems started attacking like crazy.

"Oh... H-how can this be?"

The supporter who had been watching the game from the side in spectator mode said with a heavy heart.

"It seems impossible. The power has weakened."

Sung JiHan calmly assessed the situation.

Unless the effect of Cheonsugangshin was activated again, the game was over.

"I will win next time."

He made up his mind to further improve his proficiency in Cheonsugangshin and win the next game.

While Sung JiHan was making that decision.

Thud.

Thud thud.

As Sung JiHan's golem was being attacked and broken.

It started to twist strangely.

"Uh... Is it regenerating again?"

"No. Just for a moment."

"Oh. I see."

After quietly silencing the supporter next to him.

Sung JiHan carefully watched the transformation of his golem.

The body of the steel golem, which had a bipedal form, twisted.

Clank! Clank!

It soon transformed into chains.

"No... What is this?"

"This is...?"

Before he knew it, Sung JiHan's golem had only the golem core left.

The long chains connected to it transformed into a shape resembling a long rope.

Swoosh.

Swoosh swoosh!

Those chains spread out in all directions.

They wrapped around the Chinese golem and went further, towards the sky and the ground of the stadium.

Extending towards the entire field.

"...What is that?"

Thud!

When the chains wrapped around it, the Chinese golem instantly crumpled.

It was nothing more than a minor thing.

Thud. Thud.

The chains that extended to the sky and the ground also wrapped around them.

Krrrr...

They began to narrow the distance between the sky and the ground.

And when the chains were about to start moving in earnest.

[The fourth game is over.]

[Korea wins.]

The game ended with the game over message and the screen went dark.

"This is..."

Korea's victory that reset the score to 2:2.

But for Sung JiHan.

The sight he had just witnessed didn't leave his mind.

"Is that... the true face of Cheonsugangshin?"
