The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

In the previous tournament, Sung JiHan defeated the Avatar of the Dragon Lord.

Afterwards, Sung JiHan didn't really feel much because he was busy talking with Gilgamesh.

- Even though he trampled on the Avatar of the Dragon Lord like that...

- Who would dare to challenge him?

- I don't think anyone will apply until level 9.

Currently, this matter was gathering the most attention on BattleTube.

- The Avatar of the Dragon Lord was different from the level 9 Thrones.

- Yeah, all the participants were trampled by the Dragon Lord's race Thrones.

- But Sung JiHan easily crushed them...

- Tell me honestly. Are you the administrator?

- Are you really the administrator of the Red Faction?

- Yeah, you freely use the power of the Red Faction too.

The Avatar of the Dragon Lord, who grew by devouring level 9 Thrones, was overwhelmingly powerful to anyone who saw it.

It was to the point where there were rumors of a collaboration between Space Arena and the Dragon Lord's race.

However, Sung JiHan completely overwhelmed such a Lord's Avatar in the final battle.

Furthermore, even though the hand of the Red Faction was sealed, he freely used the power of the Red Faction, showing who the owner of the flames was.

- If the Dragon Lord were to fight in his Lord state, wouldn't it be difficult?

- That could be possible. Yeah, all fire and speech were blocked.

- But he still showed some resistance when fighting with high-level magic...

- In the end, Sung JiHan won.

- Do you know what's surprising? Sung JiHan is still not a Throne... There is still room for growth.

When BattleTube was first revealed to the aliens, many viewers used to bet on Sung JiHan's defeat.

Sung JiHan's recent performance was so outstanding that even though he was bound to the human race, the evaluation of him was completely reversed.

"The atmosphere seems like the level 9 Thrones won't participate."

After the Dragon Lord's defeat, will the level 9 Thrones, who were left behind by the Dragon Lord's race, really participate in the battle?

Of course, Dong Bangsak might participate regardless of this.

"So, if that's the case, there's no meaning in hosting this tournament."

The reason for holding the tournament with the hand of the Red Faction as a prize was to suppress the Thrones and become the administrator.

As a side effect, they also received bonuses for the human race.

"If the participation rate of the level 9 Thrones is low, the bonus will also be reduced..."

If they were really unlucky, instead of a tournament, it might have just become a one-on-one match with Dong Bangsak.

There was no need to create such a situation.

"It seems like the atmosphere is that the level 9 Thrones won't participate in the tournament either. In that case, we have no choice but to confirm Challenger 5 and then proceed with the tournament. Will the Thrones participate?"

The current level is 635.

To reach Challenger 5, which is possible at 640, it would be enough to raise the level by only 5, so there was no need to postpone the schedule.

Sung JiHan announced that he would hold the tournament after becoming Challenger 5 in order to face the Thrones head-on.

- Well, if we hold the tournament in Challenger 6 state, there won't be any guests.

- So, who defeated the Dragon Lord so mercilessly?

- But even though he became Challenger 5, the Thrones aren't participating, right?

- Hey, don't ignore the Thrones. Maybe they can participate as their true selves.

No matter how easily Sung JiHan defeated the Avatar of the Dragon Lord.

If the Grand Seats could participate in person, they would naturally join the game.

Sung JiHan, of course, and most of the viewers thought so too.

[The Dragon Lord has sponsored 100 million GP.]

[I will not participate in the Space Arena. The arena map has been manipulated.]

A message appeared in the sponsorship window that was the opposite of their thoughts.

* * *

"...Map manipulation?"

Sung JiHan looked at the sponsorship message with a bewildered expression.

At first, he thought he had seen it wrong, so he blinked his eyes, but it was definitely the message from the Grand Seat Dragon Lord this time.

-What... Did Dragon Lord boycott the Dragon Lord Tournament? Wow.

-Don't tell me it wasn't because of his skills that he lost last time, but because of the arena?

-Wow, complaining about the map...

-Is it impersonation? Did Dragon Lord really send this?

-Who impersonates someone while sponsoring with 100 million GP?

The Grand Seats blamed the arena and boycotted the next tournament.

When the viewers were taken aback by the unexpected message.

Sung JiHan asked in disbelief.

"Could it be that our Dragon Lord was scared after the last defeat? Did the Grand Seat lose so miserably to the Seat Candidate?"

[The Dragon Lord has sponsored 100 million GP.]

[The reason my power doesn't work is because the emptiness operates the arena map. You and the owner of the arena manipulated the final battle map.]

Sponsoring while sending messages like this is really shameless.

Sung JiHan raised the corner of his mouth and retorted.

"You were the one who manipulated it in the first place. Does it make sense to bring in 128 dragons in the round of 256? What kind of trick did you play as the owner of the arena?"

[The Dragon Lord has sponsored 100 million GP.]

[That is a just price paid to the emptiness and a purchased participation right. It is different from players like you who manipulated the map.]

Putting in 128 dragon seats was legitimate, but losing in the final battle was manipulation?

-Wow, this is...

-Did Dragon Lord really say this? He had the image of a great ruler who revived the dragon race...

-But could it really not be map manipulation? Honestly, it doesn't make sense for the Seat Candidate to defeat the Grand Seat Avatar.

-Why would they manipulate in the arena?

-It's hard to believe in the fairness of the arena, they already let 128 dragon seats participate.

Many viewers criticized Dragon Lord after seeing his message.

But there were also opinions that it might not be real manipulation.

That's how unbelievable the previous battle result was.

"This guy won't come."

Sung JiHan cleanly gave up on the whining Dragon Lord.

There are other Grand Seats, and there will be other participants.

"Yeah. Don't participate. Even if you do, it's obvious that you'll lose. At least protect your pride."

Sung JiHan waved his hand, telling him to go away, but...

[Dragon Lord has sponsored 100 million GP.]

[I warn the high-ranking officials who show interest in this tournament. Do you really think that this result makes sense? My avatar originally had the ability to unleash 50 percent of the power of my true self.]

Dragon Lord not only boycotted participation, but also warned other high-ranking officials not to participate.

"...So that was only 50 percent? You're weak, aren't you?"

[Dragon Lord has sponsored 100 million GP.]

"Am I weak? It's ridiculous that you won in a manipulated map. If you're really that strong, prove it to me by fighting against me with your true self. Then I'll fight you with my true body."

And beyond that.

The 'special revelation' that used to be a method of sending severed hands.

Dragon Lord was telling Sung JiHan to use it on himself.

-So Sung JiHan is going to Dragon Lord's lair in the end?

-Is he going to call the high-ranking officials to his home ground?

-Still, I can't believe that Dragon Lord's power was 50 percent in the last match. Even with that power, he lost so easily...

-Is the map manipulation true or not?

-What manipulation... It seems like the dragons have entered the chat box, lol.

-He seems to be spreading the rumor of manipulation.

And after Dragon Lord mentioned his power being 50 percent, chaos erupted in the chat box.

The chat was filled with arguments about whether there was map manipulation or not.

'Dragon Lord... Seeing him come out like that, I guess he judged that it would be difficult to defeat me.'

Even though the enemy's power and compatibility were not good, Dragon Lord was too unfavorable.

During the battle with him, Sung JiHan was in a state where he didn't even use all the buffs he could summon.

Yet he managed to overpower an avatar with 50 percent power.

Even if he were to face the real Dragon Lord, if he activated the High Seat mode and fully utilized the Void, he would be able to fight.

Dragon Lord also seemed to have calculated to some extent and acted like that because he couldn't come up with a size.

'I should have won the last match with a little more effort.'

But that would have been too weak.

As the stats get stronger, such problems arise.

Sung JiHan decided to give up on Dragon Lord for now.

If he really wanted to catch him, he could go fight him through the special revelation, but...

'Even if I go and win, the problem is how to return.'

He didn't even know where Dragon Lord's lair was in space.

There was no need to go all the way there.

After all, he only needed to defeat one high-ranking official.

"As you can see, Dragon Lord didn't fight and admitted defeat. It seems that he was too overwhelmed in the previous battle. Let's continue the tournament with the others."

Sung JiHan said that and was about to turn off the BattleTube.

But before he left.

[Dragon Lord has sponsored 100 million GP.]

[It seems you're avoiding the special revelation. Do you not have the courage to fight me in a place that is not a manipulated map? Then... I'll make sure you gain the courage.]

Dragon Lord sent a meaningful message while shooting 100 million GP until the end.

'...What is he trying to do?'

Sung JiHan frowned as he read the message.

Somehow, it seemed like it would become quite bothersome.

* * *

4 days later.

=Everyone! You've waited a long time. The Space League match... will now begin!

=The opposing race is the 'Red-Haired Dragon Tribe'. We've encountered them once before!

The regular match of the Space League for humanity has begun.

"We've encountered the Dragon Tribe again."

"There are still other races we haven't encountered yet, but we're fighting against the same opponent again... I don't know how the schedule is arranged."

Just like during the World Tree Elf incident.

Why do we meet the Dragon Tribe so quickly again?

When the players wondered why the match schedule was arranged like this.

"Uncle, do you think the dragons will cause trouble today?"

Yoon Sae-ah looked at Sung JiHan with a serious expression and opened her mouth.

"Why all of a sudden?"

"Well, for the past few days, the dragons have been causing a ruckus on the channel. Now that the elves have quieted down, the dragons are... "

Ever since the Dragon Lord spread the map manipulation theory.

Every time Sung JiHan matched a game and turned on BattleTube, the dragons would rush in like crazy and flood the sponsorship message window.

[Sung JiHan, explain your connection with the arena.]

[Apologize and compensate the victims who suffered from the manipulated map!]

[The tournament was manipulated!]

The Dragon Tribe spread the manipulation theory while flooding these messages.

The Dragon Tribe's attempt to cover up the Dragon Lord's defeat with the manipulation theory was somewhat successful.

On BattleTube, there were quite a few videos uploaded in the past few days that dealt with the Sung JiHan-Arena connection theory.

From the perspective of the victims, it was quite annoying.

"Thanks to that, my wealth has increased significantly."

The actual party involved, however, was indifferent.

"The dragons have a lot of money."

"Ah... To send sponsorship to Uncle, I have to pay 100 million GP now?"

"Well, if you're going to spread the manipulation theory even after paying that money, I'll accept it."

When the Dragon Tribe flooded the sponsorship message window, Sung JiHan set the price high so that he had to pay at least 100 million GP to send sponsorship.

In reality, it was a price that practically meant not to send sponsorship.

However, the Dragon Tribe's messages only slightly decreased, and the flooding did not stop.

Sung JiHan's already abundant GP had been further upgraded.

'I need to find a way to use this overflowing GP...'

Is there a way to increase my abilities with this GP?

As Sung JiHan looked at his continuously increasing wealth, he pondered happily about such a pleasant dilemma.

=Both team coaches, please enter the coaching room.

=Ban for the first game, select. We are about to begin!

The human coach, Davis, and the 'Red-Haired Dragon Tribe' coach, Altkaisen, entered the coaching room.
