The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Chapter 215

***

***

Thud! Thud!

The first race that arrived was a bipedal monster wearing red armor all over its body, with brown skin.

The monster, twice the size of a human, with long protruding fangs, wandered around Seong Jihan’s mid-boss room.

[Is anyone here?]

The monster scanned Seong Jihan’s mid-boss room,

searching for the owner of the passage indefatigably.

Then,

[Over there, below.]

One of them spotted Seong Jihan, pointing at him with their finger.

[A race as diminutive as a child, it seems.]

[He doesn’t seem like a mid-boss.]

[But I can’t see the face well… It’s covered in darkness.]

Due to the hideout effect, Seong Jihan’s appearance was not visible to this race. However, since the rough silhouette was revealed, the monsters ignored him, judging only by his size.

[Standing there all alone… could it be a trap?]

[Let’s get rid of it first.]

[Once we do, the mid-boss should show up.]

[Kill it!]

Flash!

The long protruding fangs turned bright red, and the monster’s skin instantly turned red.

And in an instant, a horde of monsters rushed towards Seong Jihan.

Although they talked about it being a trap, there was no hesitation in their advance.

‘The color is slightly different, but the appearance is quite similar to the troll race.’

Trolls, possessing powerful physical abilities and overwhelming regenerative powers.

The red monsters in front of him looked quite similar to those who occupied the middle and lower ranks in the Space League where humans belonged.

Is the troll race not exclusive to a single planet?

‘Are the weaknesses the same?’

Swoosh…

Seong Jihan’s Eclipse, the shadow sword, revealed its appearance in his hand.

The sword lightly drew a horizontal line.

Nameless Divine Art, Triad of Martial Mastery – Total Annihilation

Then,

Snap!

The fangs of the red troll were split in half.

[Kook…!]

[Th-the teeth…!]

The trolls that were quickly advancing all fell, rolling on the ground.

‘Their weakness is also their teeth.’

The teeth of the trolls.

While it was a crucial means to enhance the trolls, breaking them greatly weakened their power.

However, the strength of their teeth was incredibly hard, so attacking them as weaknesses was generally ineffective. Still, once they were broken, it significantly weakened their strength.

‘As I expected, its too easy.’

To Seong Jihan, they were just monsters that were easy to deal with.

Swoosh!

As the sword moved again, the necks of ten trolls fell simultaneously.

[You have repelled the invaders].

[Boss points increased by 100].

He earned points from them.

Is it giving 10 points for each?

“Scoreboard.”

Seong Jihan opened the scoreboard to check his rank.

1st – Artemus Legion (Artemus) – 192,340 [Open]

2nd – ?? – 97,220

3rd – ?? – 72,770

4th – ?? – 40,410

……

11th – Nameless (Seong Jihan) – 100 [Open]

‘…Why is there such a big difference between 1st place and me?’

Perhaps because he had intruded in the middle of a special dungeon map.

The gap between him and the first rank was surprisingly wide.

Seong Jihan looked behind his scoreboard.

From 2nd to 10th place, there was a [?] mark, indicating that their information was not revealed.

The fact that all information about 1st place was visible was probably because he had revealed the mid-boss room.

[Press [Open] to view the publicly available boss room of the competition.]

[Do you want to inspect the opponent’s boss room?]

Following the system message below the scoreboard, Seong Jihan immediately clicked [Open] for first place.

Then, a large screen appeared in front of him,

[Publicized boss room, replaying the interior of ‘Artemus Legion.’.]

The appearance of Artemus Legion, the 1st place boss room, was revealed.

-What is that….

-Dwarves?

-The first-placed boss looks so underwhelming, right?

Viewers who were watching Jihan’s channel through the screen expressed their confusion when they saw the appearance of the publicly disclosed Artemus Legion.

[Artemus Legion. Get ready!]

The Artemus Legion on the screen looked like a weak dwarf race at first glance.

Their size was barely half of a human, and the boss room was filled with numerous dwarves.

Behind Legion, various weapons were piled up like a mountain.

-The weapons look quite good.

-What… is it? Dwarves?

-A blacksmith race? The appearance is somewhat similar.

While the viewers commented on the first-placed boss room,

Thud! Thud!

Many invaders entered the boss room of Artemus.

[The treasures of Artemus are here!]

[Ignore the legion! It’s profitable even if we only take the weapons!]

Invaders more intent on grabbing the weapons behind the dwarves than fighting legion itself,

[Charge!]

The dwarfish legion moved in unison to block them,

clinging to the colossal invaders in a flash.

[Annoying little…]

Boom! Boom!

Countless dwarves exploded while trying to withstand the attack of the giant invaders, but…

Swooosh…

Even if they died and disappeared, similar-looking dwarves continued to emerge from the ground.

[Deal with them roughly and grab the weapons!]

Unable to withstand the continuous assault of the dwarf legion, the invaders focused on grabbing weapons while ignoring the dwarves.

[Argh… there it is…!]

[Uh, secured. Put it in the inventory!]

Thunk! Thunk!

While being overwhelmed by the concentrated attack of the dwarves and gradually dying one by one, the invaders who managed to get their hands on the weapons died happily.

-Dwarves’ supply assault lol

-But are the weapons really that good? They seem to love dying.

-Invaders keep coming, wow

-Tactics of luring monsters for treasures, it seems.

The seemingly weak dwarves guarding the treasure, coupled with the tempting treasure, explained why numerous invaders were flocking towards them.

However, as Seong Jihan observed the dwarf legion, his gaze turned cold.

‘Externally weak, but… their actual power might be different. It can’t be weak; otherwise, they couldn’t keep 1st place.’

If the displayed power was everything.

Artemus wouldn’t have been able to maintain 1st place until acquiring 190,000 points.

artemus

Behind the seemingly weak appearance, there must be hidden strength.

-Artemus. Playing pranks again.

-Newbies always fall for it.

And the extraterrestrial viewers who entered Seong Jihan’s channel, After seeing Artemus’s boss room, they evaluated it as bait.

Perhaps this was a well-known method already.

‘But the strategy seems quite solid, doesn’t it?’

Seong Jihan’s eyes gleamed as he continued to watch Artemus’s boss room, where intruders kept coming without a break.

Even if it was a bait, the weapons seemed so tempting, and the continuous influx of intruders increased Artemus’s point acquisition speed significantly.

‘I need to benchmark this.’

Seong Jihan turned on the dungeon manager option to review the items once more.

[This is it!]

[He really is unprepared, isn’t he?]

[Even the name on the passage is Nameless!]

As various races continued to invade the dungeon,

“Wait a second, I’m busy.”

Whoosh!

When Seong Jihan swung his sword once, all of them were split in half.

-A boss worthy of his rank.

-He should be in the upper ranks with that strength.

After Seong Jihan cut down the invaders with a single stroke, the extraterrestrial viewers raised their evaluations.

-But still, the limits of the race are clear. Despite that, it’s still worth invading compared to other routes.

-Let’s unite on this route. If we attack together, we might be able to block them.

-Okay.

Putting limits on human potential, they even planned a joint attack.

-Why are those guys openly plotting in someone else’s chat room? Ugh.

-Now even aliens are messing around lolol

-Shouldn’t public access be stopped now? ㅠㅠ

└└ You have to attract a lot of enemies to raise your ranking.

While viewers were bewildered by these extraterrestrial races, Seong Jihan noticed something interesting.

‘Oh, there’s such an option.’

Seong Jihan’s eyes twinkled as he looked at an item he had passed by in the dungeon manager options earlier.

* * *

“Alright, let’s decorate the room a bit.”

Tap, tap.

As Seong Jihan organized his thoughts, he touched various items in the manager options.

[1,000,000 GP has been consumed.]

[1,000,000 GP has been consumed.]

With a million GP disappearing each time, brilliant gold bars began to materialize in all directions.

Simultaneously, the dim space transformed.

The floor was adorned with pristine white marble, and the walls were covered in gold.

-Oh… the room suddenly became splendid.

-What are those gold bars? They’re shining so brightly.

-It turned into a treasure vault all of a sudden, lol.

As viewers observed the abrupt changes with fascination:

“So, each of these gold bars is worth 1 million GP.”

Thud, thud, thud…

Behind Seong Jihan, the gold bars started piling up like mountains.

-Are you trying to follow artemus? How much will those GP bars get you…

-Don’t need to do that; they would invade since it’s so easy anyway.

-Well, that’s great. Overpower him and gain GP.

At first, the extraterrestrial races viewers responded indifferently to Seong Jihan’s ploy, but then,

“Okay. These diamonds… they give stat points, don’t they?”

Surprise overcame them as he placed giant diamonds atop the gold bars.

-What?

-That’s a 5 stat point diamond!

-He summoned another one!

-Did he really just summon that… Is he crazy?!

Giant diamonds that one could only summon at the risk of their own stats.

Since extra stat points were the most precious commodity in BattleNet, the extraterrestrial beings watching Seong Jihan’s channel went wild.

-No need to form an alliance!

-It’s ours!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With giant diamonds placed, the noise in Seong Jihan’s boss room intensified rapidly.

Rumble…

As the doors of the boss chamber opened on their own,

[Out of the way!]

[We’re first!]

[There really are stat diamonds…!]

A plethora of monsters, their eyes bloodshot, began to pour in.

“Good effect.”

Swooosh!

Seong Jihan grinned and raised his sword.

Cheeeeeek!

They got cut in half by Seong Jihan’s sword

There were all kinds of races, but Seong Jihan’s sword split them all equally in half.

[He’s strong!]

Then, the enemies behind him hesitated for a moment.

[Still, I can’t miss the stat diamond… … !]

[Warriors, prepare yourself for defense and go!]

[There is no need to fight him. Just take the diamonds!]

Stat diamonds made them forget their fears and Various monster races advanced again.

Seong Jihan looked at them and smiled.

‘Diamonds definitely work better than gold bars. huh… … .’

Swoosh!

Seong Jihan once again wiped out the enemy with one sword.

Through manager options, the dungeon name was changed from nameless.

11th place – I have 10 diamonds (Seong Jihan) 700

As a latecomer, attracting customers is Seong Jihan’s top priority.

He decided to put diamonds, which everyone was passionate about, at the forefront.

-Wow, the name of the dungeon is to try and attract bait lol

-If the diamonds were taken away, won’t Seong Jihan’s stats disappear??

-No way he’s gonna let that happen

-But if a lot of enemies come… … .

Human viewers were happy at first when they saw the dungeon name but

-Are you fr?

-10 diamonds?

-It’s real.

-There are 10 diamonds. It really exists!

Suddenly, viewers with star marks started flowing in like crazy.

-… … Isn’t this dangerous?

-There are so many extraterrestrial races here.

The viewers started to slowly worry.

and

thud! thud! thud!

The door to Seong Jihan’s boss room opened.

Enemy races gathered in countless numbers, incomparable to before.

[There it is!! The real diamond!]

[Charge!!]

They start rushing towards the diamonds fearing nothing.

“It’s effective.”

Seong Jihan took out the sword and the phoenix flag.

[W-what… … .]

[This monster… … !]

In one day, he surged up to 7th place in the rankings.

And then,

“There are 10 diamonds…? I guess I should go see this.”

Not only the invaders from the dungeon but also unexpected entities began to take notice, earning Seong Jihan even more attention.
