The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 317

"What is the purpose of the Papal Seat's reputation?"

Sung JiHan, upon seeing a reward he had never seen before, asked the Shadow Queen, who was the Papal Seat.

"The reputation of the Papal Seat? It doesn't really serve any specific purpose. It can be seen as the honor score of those who become the Papal Seat."

"Oh, so it's like achievement points?"

"Achievement points... You could say that. The achievements after becoming the Papal Seat are measured by reputation points."

Upon hearing those words, Sung JiHan's eyes lit up.

Achievement points, which were considered useless to ordinary players.

But for Sung JiHan, they were very useful through the achievement store he possessed.

"Perhaps there might be a store related to the reputation of the Papal Seat."

For now, I should gather reputation points.

With that thought, Sung JiHan took out Eclipse.

Swoosh.

He drew his sword horizontally.

And then.

Crack.

Sparks flew from the experiment room where the players were trapped, and they all woke up at once.

"Director, the experiment room should never be opened no matter what."

The small Great Spirit tried to stop Sung JiHan when he saw this.

"It's okay. I have a top-secret mission. Let the players go for now."

"...Understood."

Unable to resist Sung JiHan's words, the small Great Spirit returned to his work.

And one by one, the players stumbled out of the broken experiment room.

"Ah..."

"Phew, we're free?"

They looked at their own bodies as if they couldn't believe it.

"Log out!"

They immediately tried to log out of the game.

"Oh no, I can't log out..."

"This damn map. The World Tree Elf should have been more careful when bringing this out..."

Perhaps it was because it was a special map affected by the curse of the World Tree Union.

Even though they had escaped from the experiment room, the players couldn't log out on their own.

"If... if we kill ourselves, maybe we can escape from here...!"

In the end, a few of them attempted to commit suicide by grabbing their own necks.

"But our bodies are too healthy. It's difficult to die."

"Even if our breathing is blocked, we're still fine. What is this..."

Perhaps it was because of the treatment they received from the Great Spirit while undergoing the experiment.

They couldn't die even if they wanted to.

Especially since their weapons and everything else had been taken away, the players seemed even more unable to die.

Sung JiHan spoke to them.

"Shall I kill you instead?"

"You..."

"I'm the one who set you free."

The goal of the emergency mission was liberation.

To achieve this, there was no need to drag them around.

After all, this place was inside the game's map.

If the players died and could log out, that would also be liberation.

One of the players who were looking at each other for a moment was the first to step forward.

"Please kill me first!"

"Alright."

Swoosh!

When Sung JiHan's sword grazed the player, his body was split in half.

He seemed like an opponent who would die with a single blow.

"Huh?"

Swoosh...

Blood vessels suddenly sprouted from the split body and reconnected the body parts.

And in an instant, the body regenerated.

It was as if he was displaying a healing power similar to that of an elf.

"What, what is this? I've never seen anything like this before..."

"Is this the aftermath of the experiment? They've made it so we can't even die...!"

Is it the power of the regenerative medicine administered during the experiment?

The players had a defeated expression on their faces.

"We just have to cut them more."

Shaaaak!

Sung JiHan's sword turned purple and moved multiple times in an instant.

As a result, the players were divided into dozens of pieces.

Their blood vessels protruded as they tried to reconnect their bodies.

Whirrrr...!

A wave of emptiness surged, blocking regeneration at its source.

And then...

Flash!

A player received a complete death judgment and logged out.

[One player has been released.]

At the same time, a message appeared to Sung JiHan, confirming the completion of the release.

"Oh, they logged out!"

"Is it possible to escape from here...?"

"Please kill me too!"

Seeing this, the excited players.

Although they were different in size and appearance, they all wanted to die at the hands of Sung JiHan with one heart and one mind.

"Alright."

Chiiing!

According to the players' requests, they were logged out.

[Level has increased by 1.]

A level-up message appeared in Sung JiHan's system window.

"It's rare for levels to increase in the game."

Usually, levels only increased when defeating opponents with a significant level difference.

Normally, levels increased intensively after the game ended during the settlement.

But to say that killing a few people caused this, does it mean that their level is high?

Instead of swinging his sword, Sung JiHan asked them.

"What level are you guys?"

"I'm level 401..."

"I'm 414."

The experimental subjects exceeded the basic level of 400.

Among them, Sung JiHan had the lowest level here.

"So you guys are high-level."

"Weren't you the one with the highest level, Your Holiness?"

"Your Holiness? I'm still in the 300s."

"What? No, with that power..."

"Yeah, I'll level up a bit by killing you guys."

Whoosh!

Sung JiHan's sword moved, and the experimental subjects were sucked out.

[Emergency quest cleared.]

[Obtained 100 Holy Seat Fame.]

The emergency quest was easily cleared like that.

[Level has increased by 2.]

In addition, there was a level-up reward.

"Administrator. Logging out experimental subjects is strictly prohibited in the laboratory."

"Can you give me some regenerative medicine?"

Sung JiHan reached out his hand to the warning spirit who was warning him.

The regenerative medicine of the World Tree Union, which showed remarkable effects on the experimental subjects.

Having personally experienced its performance by cutting them, Sung JiHan decided to take it.

"We need to prioritize data transmission right now."

"Then, can you at least mark their locations?"

[It's over there.]

Flash.

In one corner of the laboratory.

As the light sparkled in the place filled with glass bottles, Sung JiHan went over there.

"There's a lot here. I guess I don't need to take only the regeneration potion."

He packed all the dozens of glass bottles into his inventory.

-Look at him sweeping everything ㅋㅋㅋ

-Sung JiHan really eats up everything, even the pillars.

-The position of the manager is so good...

I was worried that I would be executed, but Sung JiHan was acting like this place was his own home.

The viewers watched the final game comfortably, saying that it was Sung JiHan after all.

And.

"Until it's over, should I take this or something else?"

While Sung JiHan was thinking that he should take this instead of the players' items.

Flash!

From the direction of the Great Spirit that was transmitting data for a while, a bright light burst out.

[Administrator. The order to detonate the research lab has been given. Self-destruction will proceed.]

Has the data transmission finished to some extent?

Flames flickered from the body of the Great Spirit.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions began to occur from all directions.

The void rushing at a fast speed from the ground.

The Great Spirits in various parts of the research lab started self-destructing.

The Seongjo Research Institute was collapsing without any distinction between upper and lower floors.

"The end is really coming. Let's run diligently."

An opportunity for leveling up and acquiring items.

I couldn't miss it.

Ziiiiing.

The screen appeared in the air.

[...Sir. You have finally closed the research lab map. Are you satisfied?]

The branch manager with a tired expression opened his mouth.

"No, why did you close it so quickly? I still need to level up."

[Level up... huh.]

The branch manager looked at Sung JiHan, who was busy breaking the experimental rooms, as if he couldn't understand.

Thump. Thump.

He tapped his own mask and brought up the main point.

[The mask I gave you. Will you return it?]

"If I ask for it back, it won't be good."

[It was something I gave you because I thought you would become a member of the Yggdrasil clan. Although you might be fascinated by the power of the void contained in it for a while... if the user doesn't receive regular purification from Yggdrasil, they will eventually be consumed by that item.]

His words.

I seemed to know what they meant.

Even though I only briefly dealt with the void inside the mask, Sung JiHan's void value increased by 4.

If I use it a few more times, the player will eventually exceed the void value they can handle.

Then the player will be bound by the will of the void.

Yggdrasil's 'purification' would be the solution to this problem.

"Alright. Since you're worried about me, you want me to return it for free?"

[Are you someone who would give something for free? Please come to the loan counter. I will... charge you a very high price for the item.]

The branch manager said this while biting down hard.

Sung JiHan chuckled as he bit into it, thinking that he probably set up 100 traps at the loan counter.

"Let me think about it."

[...I will look forward to your wise decision.]

The branch manager's insincere response.

Beep!

The screen that had appeared disappeared with a flick.

And not long after.

"The 'Holy See Research Institute' will be closed."

"The player has escaped from the Holy See Research Institute."

"Wins in 5 matches."

In the special map, the 'Holy See Research Institute' completely exploded and was closed.

The game is over.

*****

After the end of the 5 matches.

= Humanity!! We bring victory to a difficult game!

= World Tree Elves 200... To the race that is leading in the Bronze League, we turned the game around with a score of 3:2!

= In the final match, Sung JiHan didn't escape or anything...

= It seems that the Holy See Research Institute was destroyed and received an escape judgment!

The commentators declared humanity's victory with a bright voice.

-Haha, losing to the 20th place and winning against the 1st place, the class of humanity ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Look at them dividing the points equally... Are they the guardians of balance?

-Honestly, this is just Sung JiHan's influence ㅋㅋㅋ

-For real, if it weren't for Sung JiHan, we would have been completely dominated and executed.

-If it's Sung JiHan, isn't he already qualified to be the Holy See instead of just a candidate?

-He's really something, for real.

Although he had few appearances in this series.

What determined the outcome of the game was, of course, Sung JiHan.

While viewers from all over the world were happily talking about Sung JiHan's strength.

"......"

The face of the Elf Grand Administrator who returned to the director's waiting room turned pale.

She bit her lips nervously.

Looking at Director Davis across the table, she hurriedly spoke.

"Where is the rank 1 of humanity...?"

"Why him?"

"Please call him here. I have a proposal to make urgently."

"Is it because of the mask?"

Director Davis, who had been watching the previous match, roughly guessed what she wanted.

He entered the waiting room for human players.

"Sung JiHan, what do you plan to do?"

"Let's hear it."

"Understood."

With that, the director was replaced, and Sung JiHan ended up in the director's waiting room.

He calmly asked the Grand Administrator.

"What kind of deal do you want to make between us?"

"......Return the items obtained from the Holy See Research Institute. Give them back to us."

"There are so many things I've obtained... What do you want me to give back?"

When Sung JiHan shrugged his shoulders.

The Elf Grand Administrator bit her lips tightly and spoke slowly.

"......If you return the reagents from the Bioresearch Institute, World Tree Elves 200 will definitely lose to humanity until the end of this league."

"Oh."

He had brought the regeneration potions and had about 100 glass bottles stored in his inventory.

If he gives them, they will definitely lose.

"Did these have that much value?"

When Sung JiHan thought that he should find out more about the contents of the glass bottles.

"And if you return the Shadow Queen... The three planets of the World Tree Elves currently placed in the Bronze League will definitely lose to humanity."

[...Me?]

The Grand Administrator treated the Shadow Queen as an 'item'.

She proposed a deal to give humanity victories in three places.

"Hmm..."

If the three races give victories, the possibility of humanity being demoted is zero.

Sung JiHan smiled as if he found the words interesting and looked at his left arm.

[Wait a minute. Could it be... No, right?]

From within, the trembling voice of the Shadow Queen responded.
