The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 283

=Player Vladimir...

=Could it be that the Holy See has descended?

=Yes. After watching the Russian footage, it definitely seems so! Player Vladimir completely annihilated his own teammates and even absorbed the blood of the surrounding monsters!

Except for Vladimir, the Russian national team was wiped out.

Around him, the bodies of numerous monsters lay scattered, their blood spilled.

Compared to the battle between Sung JiHan and Valhalla in the Holy Land, it seems like Vladimir absorbed even more blood.

Vladimir's momentum was definitely stronger than before.

"If it's at that level, I'll win."

Compared to before, Sung JiHan had also become stronger.

"There are many eyes watching."

When Vladimir raised his hand.

Splat!

Blood burst into the air.

"Oh... the screen is covered in blood again!"

"Why is Vladimir covering the screen again when it's already been revealed that he is the Holy See?"

"Of all times..."

The broadcast screen was dyed in blood.

He, who had blocked the external gaze like last time, looked at Sung JiHan with a cold gaze.

"Sung JiHan... you've grown quite a bit in that short time. I couldn't understand the order to kill you from the owner, but seeing you in person, I can understand a bit."

"I can say the same after seeing you in person. You seem easier to deal with than I thought."

"Where?"

Sss...

Blood surged through Vladimir's body.

The blood vessels soon transformed into armor, covering his entire body.

And soon, a giant blood cross sword appeared in his hands.

"Prove those words!"

Shoo!

In the blink of an eye, Vladimir rushed towards Sung JiHan.

His movements were much faster than when they faced each other last time.

But...

"He's not as strong as the High Elf."

Compared to when he fought the High Elf who was at the level of the Holy See, his movements were clearly visible this time.

Swish!

The blood cross sword struck Sung JiHan forcefully.

Creak...!

The Phoenix Wing, stained with blood, easily blocked the attack.

And more.

Hunwon Divine Skill, Hwanyeorin's Flame, Red Thunder Cannon.

Just when the attack seemed to stop for a moment.

Immediately, from the tip of the spear, a fierce red lightning burst out.

The Red Thunder Cannon, which is activated instantly without any forewarning.

Then, Vladimir's blood cross sword, which was instantly stained with the Red Thunder, visibly shrank.

"Hmm...!"

Vladimir, who swallowed his anger, tried to increase his momentum and make the blood cross sword bigger again.

Creak...!

But...

The Red Thunder Cannon continued to pour down multiple times, striking Vladimir's entire body.

The blood armor initially deflected the attacks several times.

Crack...!

But...

Unable to withstand the continuous attacks, a crack appeared in one part of the armor.

And then, a gap appeared.

Whoosh!

The Red Thunder seeped inside, instantly engulfing Vladimir's body from within.

Then, the blood armor disappeared in an instant.

The blood cross sword also rapidly shrank and disappeared.

"This... is too easy."

With the Red Thunder and Dragon Flame, Sung JiHan's power, combined with the Jaha Divine Skill, was on a completely different level from before.

"If it's already at this level without even combining the stats, I can expect even more in the future."

Sung JiHan decided to invest all of his remaining stats into Yongyeom.

As a result of pouring all of his stat points, the Yongyeom stat reached 197.

The difference with Jekroa was only 3.

In fact, with this level of stats, he could try fusion once.

However, because there was a possibility of failure with a difference of 3, Sung JiHan planned to attempt fusion when both were at 200.

But even without fusion, perhaps because he had invested in Yongyeom.

The power of fire contained in Jekroa was much stronger than before.

Vladimir, who had gathered much more blood than before, was engulfed in flames.

"Stronger than expected."

At that moment.

From a pool of blood in the distance, Vladimir suddenly appeared.

"One. It starts now."

Swoosh!

The blood scattered on the ground was absorbed back into Vladimir.

He grew slightly larger than his original form.

As a blood knight, wearing a blood-red armor and wielding the Holy Cross Sword.

He, in that state.

Whoosh!

Instead of approaching Sung JiHan, he rushed towards the monsters behind him.

Boom! Boom!

The horde of monsters exploded in an instant.

The giant monsters and flying species all sucked blood whenever the blood knight approached.

"Hmm."

Sung JiHan watched quietly with his arms crossed.

Vladimir, who absorbed the blood of the monsters and grew stronger.

If it were a real battle, he would have approached and restrained him as much as possible.

"But the current avatar form of Longinus is not my opponent. I need to become as strong as possible here to prepare for the real arrival of the Holy See Longinus."

On the contrary, in the game, there was no big penalty even if he lost.

It was better to let him grow rebelliously rather than easily blow him up like before.

That way, he could fight against the stronger Vladimir and gain useful information for when he actually clashed with Longinus.

And.

"This should be the limit of this avatar..."

As Vladimir, who had grown about twice as large as before, muttered.

"Is that so? Then let's go."

Swoosh!

Sung JiHan released his crossed arms and immediately approached him.

"Blood transfusion!"

Vladimir, who had become much stronger than before, reached out to Sung JiHan and tried to extract his blood like he did with the monsters.

But his blood could not penetrate Sung JiHan's soul at all.

"Is this the end?"

Crack!

In an instant, the enlarged Eclipse split Vladimir's body.

Squelch...

The blood that came out of Vladimir's body healed the torn body.

Compared to when he was hit by Jekroa earlier, Vladimir's injuries were easily restored.

He looked at the soul-reaping scythe in his hand and asked Sung JiHan.

"...Aren't you going to use the red brainwave from earlier? With this kind of blow, I can regenerate no matter how many times."

"Well, it's too easy if I use that."

"Hah, you're getting cocky...!"

Vladimir reached out his sword towards Sung JiHan in frustration.

Clang! Clang!

The two swords clashed several times.

"Hmm...!"

Squeak...

Not long after, the Holy Cross Sword split.

Thud. Thud...

Even his neck fell to the ground, rolling.

"Look at this. It's easy, right?"

Swoosh.

Sung JiHan picked up the sword and looked at the fallen head.

"Isn't it?"

"I see. No matter how much power I gather, there is a limit to what I can achieve by manifesting as an avatar."

Vladimir, opening his mouth in a weakened state.

His attitude seemed indifferent, as if he had expected this defeat.

"I admit it. I cannot face you as an avatar."

"Why...did you call me?"

"What?"

"If you were going to kill me according to the orders of the gods, wouldn't it have been enough for the Holy See to descend to Earth and stab me? Why fight me through the avatar in the game?"

Sung JiHan, who had said that he would use the spear of divine punishment to eliminate him if he appeared in this game.

However, he was overwhelmingly losing without even touching Sung JiHan.

"The reason is..."

Sung JiHan's question made Vladimir's face disappear, replaced by fatigue.

His head was regenerated from the body of Vladimir that had been blown away.

"You modified my work to suit your taste."

"You mean the Iron Blood Cross? That's right."

Sung JiHan drew a cross with two index fingers.

Then.

Hunwon Divine Art

Myeolsin Gyeol

Iron Blood Cross

Boom...!

A white cross rose in front of Sung JiHan, protecting him with a bright light.

The Iron Blood Cross, which used to require crossing the cross with a weapon to manifest.

Now, it was easily manifested with just two fingers.

"...To think that you can manifest it with your fingers."

"People need to evolve."

"Ha."

Vladimir's expression crumpled at those words.

Sung JiHan, who completely destroyed the established method of the 'work' and modified it to his own taste.

Every time he saw that, it was difficult to control the instinctive discomfort that rose within him.

However.

"...So, is that the end?"

Suppressing those emotions, Vladimir asked Sung JiHan.

"What?"

"I asked if modifying my work was the end."

"I don't know. I don't use it much these days."

"Is that so?"

Boom...!

The Iron Blood Cross disappeared from Vladimir's hand.

"Then, let me modify my work from now on."

Instead, the Blood Spear slowly began to manifest.

"If you can't do that, you will eventually die by my hands."

The Blood Spear, which could only be used with permission from the gods.

It was clenched in Vladimir's hand.

* * *

Longinus' Blood Spear.

Sung JiHan knew very well about its destructive power.

"The spear that broke through the barrier of the Brain God was Longinus' spear after all."

That powerful god had drawn that spear when he was blocked by the barrier.

Although there was a significant difference in power between the spear used by the god and the one used by Avatar Vladimir.

Nevertheless, the mere appearance of the Blood Spear exuded a strong presence.

"Didn't you tell Vladimir to tell me? That spear. It was too luxurious for me to use?"

Sung JiHan said as he carefully observed the appearance of the Blood Spear.

"I won't stab you right now."

Thud. Thud...

Longinus, who was bleeding on the ground, spoke.

Since summoning the Blood Spear.

Vladimir's body was rapidly losing its form.

However, he didn't care about his own physical condition.

"I'm just restraining myself."

He aimed the tip of the spear at Sung JiHan.

And then.

Thud.

Sung JiHan's body stiffened.

"...This is..."

The phenomenon he felt when he was hit directly by the spear of the former god.

Not only did his physical control disappear.

Even Vladimir's body, which was rapidly crumbling, froze with droplets of blood suspended in mid-air.

He stood still.

"Is this time stop...? I felt it before, but my body is barely under control."

Compared to before, Sung JiHan had become significantly stronger.

But when the spear of the former god targeted him, his body didn't move at all.

The only thing that tried to move from within was the power of the soul and emptiness.

The newly acquired lightning and dragon flame didn't even twitch.

In this situation where everything came to a halt.

Sss...

Only the blood spear wriggled, and a blood-colored smoke rose from the tip of the spear.

And faintly rising above it, purple letters.

[Target condition, partial match]

[Annihilation code activated]

It was the same as the letters he saw when he was stabbed by Longinus' spear before.

Now he was just standing still.

If the spear were to stab him, that 'annihilation code' would instantly erase Sung JiHan.

In fact, even if he died in the game, it wouldn't be a big loss for Sung JiHan.

"...If I can't even move like this against the spear created by the avatar, I won't be able to respond to the spear of the Holy See, Longinus."

The time stop possessed by the spear of the former god.

If he couldn't overcome it, death would be inevitable.

"It's not like my energy isn't moving at all..."

The strengthened soul and emptiness, which had become much stronger than before, tried to move somehow and overcome this situation.

But Sung JiHan's body didn't even twitch.

"This won't do."

When Sung JiHan, who had been relaxed until now, focused all his attention on the current situation.

"Sir Sung JiHan...! I will help!"

Suddenly, the form of the blood spear disappeared.

Different from the previous Holy See, Longinus.

Vladimir, the player who provided the avatar, urgently spoke up.

"What the hell...! What are you doing!"

"Even if you are the Holy See... I can't just let you kill Sung JiHan!"

"This bastard...!"

The Holy See and the player Vladimir mixed together.

An avatar where two existences converse with one mouth.

Sung JiHan sighed when he saw that.

It's not like he's really going to die.

Why did he pop out at this crucial moment?

"Vladimir. It's okay."

"But...!"

"Rest. This is my chance."

"Ah. Did I mess up?"

"If you keep staying, it seems like you will."

"Yes..."

Vladimir, who had been eager to help Sung JiHan, disappeared with a gloomy face.

Longinus, who regained control of his body, looked dumbfounded.

"...Ha. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the spear of the former god is raised, the avatar rebels. How ridiculous."

"Hey. Can you do it again?"

"...It is possible."

"Then wait a moment."

Sung JiHan opened his status window.

Emptiness and soul.

With just the two, he couldn't overcome the time stop.

"I guess I have to fuse the dragon flame and lightning... and the void."

A new ability that combines the two unique stats.

It was time to experiment.
