The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 614:

'White Light has finally reached 100.'

White Light had been steadily increasing daily while operating the Tower of Martial Gods.

Even after the system changed to Tower, its growth continued.

And now it has finally reached the first goal of 100.

'They said not to expand the authority of light here.'

The opportunity to expand authority was said to be given randomly when White Light reached 100.

He shouldn't choose this here.

Both the Black and White Administrators had informed that this would prove he was a 'lazy one'.

So at this timing, it would be right not to choose to expand authority.

Zing...

As the light flashed towards Dongbang Sak,

'This is...'

Instinctively, he could understand what it meant.

If he expanded the authority of light, he could take Dongbang Sak out of the tower.

'And if I expand the authority of light and take him out of the Tower... We can launch a preemptive strike against Urd.'

Dongbang Sak's proposal to jointly attack Urd.

It was a very appealing proposal to Seong Jihan.

Seong Jihan, who had been facing Dongbang Sak, knew well how strong he was.

It certainly seemed possible to subdue the incomplete Urd.

However, he thought it would be difficult because Dongbang Sak couldn't leave the Tower...

'If I give up the title of lazy one, it's possible...'

Seong Jihan fell into contemplation.

Should he become a lazy one and be included in the light clan?

Or should he take out Dongbang Sak now and have a showdown with Urd?

After pondering for a while,

'Hmm... Instead of worrying alone, I should ask them too.'

He brought up this story to the two.

"Dongbang Sak. There's a way to get you out."

"Oh... Is that so? As expected of you."

"However, there's something I have to give up for it..."

As Seong Jihan started like this,

He told them about the 'light clan'.

"Hmm..."

Stroking his beard and lost in thought, Dongbang Sak said,

"This is just my personal opinion, but I think it would be better for you to become part of the light clan than for me to go outside."

He gave up the method to go outside the Tower and advised Seong Jihan to become part of the light clan.

And,

[I think the same.]

The Red Administrator had the same opinion.

"Why?"

[We need to figure out the mechanism of how the light clan operates this 'server'. For that, you entering it is the top priority.]

"I agree. Even if we subdue the incomplete Urd... we don't know where she might pop up again. We definitely need to find out how they move."

Seeing the Red Administrator and Dongbang Sak agreeing like this was quite an unexpected sight.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan nodded.

"I understand. Then, let's try becoming a 'lazy one' for now."

As Seong Jihan didn't expand the authority of light,

The pure white light that had been flashing towards Dongbang Sak gradually weakened.

Was this how the opportunity to expand authority disappears?

And after about ten minutes, the light completely vanished.

The message window saying he could expand authority, which had appeared before Seong Jihan's eyes, had also disappeared.

Instead,

[By not expanding the authority of light, the 'power of light' applied to the Tower is strengthened.]

The power of light, which was said to implement the Tower's content more vividly, had been upgraded one step further.

'What's improved with this?'

Seong Jihan tilted his head, looking at the power of light applied to the Tower.

Even if it was said to implement content more vividly, from the perspective of the person involved, it was not really noticeable.

At that moment,

"Hmm...? My body feels lighter. Did you decide to take me out?"

Dongbang Sak, stroking his beard, blinked and asked Seong Jihan.

"No. When I didn't expand the authority, the existing one was strengthened. It's said that the Tower's content is implemented more vividly... I think that's what's been applied."

"I see..."

[Then, is it possible that you haven't become a 'lazy one'?]

"Hmm. We should verify it."

At the Red Administrator's words, Seong Jihan took out the tester button from his inventory.

Every time he pressed it before,

-You are too diligent.

This message would appear on the tester.

But when he pressed the button now,

-'White Light' is 101. It hasn't reached 200.

Only a message saying White Light hadn't reached 200 appeared.

The message saying he was too diligent had disappeared.

Did this mean the other two conditions had been met?

'It seems even if the existing authority is strengthened, being lazy is still recognized.'

Could this really be considered lazy?

Rather, it feels like focusing on one thing without getting other characteristics.

Seong Jihan found the tester's judgment criteria questionable, but.

'Anyway, does this mean I just have to wait until White Light reaches 200...'

White Light, which used to increase by 1-2 per day.

However, after the Tower of Martial Gods changed to Tower, the growth rate had become faster than before.

At this rate, the stat might reach 200 within a month if things go well.

"It seems I've met the conditions for being a lazy one. Now I just have to wait until White Light reaches 200."

"Wait... Hmm. What method are you using to gain White Light?"

"This is an ability obtained through BattleTube, but..."

Seong Jihan told them about how he obtained White Light and how much the stat increased per day.

Dongbang Sak slowly stroked his beard.

"Hmm... So at this rate, it will take a month."

"Yes. This is already much shortened."

"I see... But that's also enough time for the incomplete Urd to become complete."

Seong Jihan nodded at those words.

Before, he would have just been happy that the period was shortened to a month.

But after learning about Urd's true power through Dongbang Sak, even the shortened month felt too long.

Still,

[There's no particular way to gain White Light faster, is there?]

As the Red Administrator pointed out, it was impossible to shorten the period further in the current situation.

Now, they could only wait.

As Seong Jihan was recognizing the current state,

"No. There is something worth trying."

Swish...

A Taiji rose behind Dongbang Sak's back.

And putting his hand into it to take out the Taiji Sword, he said,

"You said you could feel the power of White Light in this Taiji Sword, right?"

"That's right."

"Then, how about absorbing the power of light from here?"

"From the Taiji Sword...?"

"Yes."

He looked at the sword flashing intensely with pure white light with calm eyes.

* * *

Three days later.

[Stat 'White Light' increases by 2.]

'Wow. This actually works.'

Seong Jihan just blinked at the message window that appeared before his eyes.

At Dongbang Sak's suggestion to absorb the power of White Light that sealed the Taiji Sword in reverse,

[Gaining power in reverse from a seal? Is that even possible...?]

The Red Administrator, listening from the side, showed a skeptical reaction, but.

-I can't perceive the power of light, but you, who possess White Light, should be different.

Dongbang Sak urged Seong Jihan to try absorbing the Taiji Sword, saying they should at least attempt it.

And following his advice, as he continued the work of absorbing light from the Taiji Sword,

By just the third day, Seong Jihan was able to absorb White Light from the sword.

'Having a guide or not makes a world of difference.'

If he had tried to absorb the light from the Taiji Sword alone, he would probably have gone through tremendous trial and error.

But with Dongbang Sak giving one-on-one tutoring beside him, it only took 3 days to absorb White Light from the sword's seal.

Moreover,

'It took time because we were trying not to cause errors, if we had proceeded right away without considering that, I would have absorbed it in a day.'

-Unidentified errors continue to occur.

-If errors continue to progress, all current data will be deleted and replaced with backup data.

The message that appeared when burning the light of the Taiji Sword with blue flame.

Keeping this in mind, it took 3 days to gradually swallow the light without causing errors.

He said his teaching was clumsy before, but now it was not at all.

'Rather, through this teaching, even Infinite Annihilation God has developed.'

Infinite Annihilation God, which contained part of Dongbang Sak's martial talent.

The ability that showed little sign of development even with solo training had greatly grown through 3 days of teaching.

Was this why a master is needed?

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

"You. Your comprehension seems to have become faster than before. Your martial talent must have improved a lot."

Dongbang Sak was smiling with satisfaction as he watched Seong Jihan absorb light from the Taiji Sword.

"I've taught numerous disciples, but you're the best. As expected, you're worthy of the title 'Martial God'."

At his praise, Seong Jihan gave an embarrassed smile.

"If I had a disciple like you, a martial artist who reached the realm of nature would have appeared long ago. Then I wouldn't have had to fight aliens just to complete Infinite..."

As he continued to praise, Seong Jihan told the truth.

"Um. Actually, my skill contains your martial talent."

"...? My martial talent, what do you mean?"

Seong Jihan showed him the skill description of Infinite Annihilation God.

Skill Grade: EX

A power created by Dongbang Sak, the true master of Nameless Divine Arts, to destroy the wandering Martial God.

It contains the martial talent of Dongbang Sak, an out-of-spec being, but due to system limitations, only a part can be implemented.

When equipped with the title 'Martial God', the implementation level of martial talent increases.

Infinite Annihilation God, which was EX grade even though it only contains part of Dongbang Sak's martial talent.

"Hooh... BattleNet has highly evaluated my talent."

Dongbang Sak seemed pleased seeing this, then,

"But, this changes things."

Snap.

Suddenly breaking off a strand of his beard, he spoke to Seong Jihan with a serious face.

"If you've inherited my martial talent, you need to become stronger here."

"Pardon...?"

"As long as you have that skill, you're no different from my successor. And my successor should ultimately become stronger than me."

No, how could he become stronger than Dongbang Sak?

As Seong Jihan was dumbfounded hearing this,

"Now. Until White Light reaches 200, let's do closed-door training here."

After seeing the Infinite Annihilation God skill, Dongbang Sak seemed to consider Seong Jihan as his complete successor.

He was eager to teach martial arts.

'Well, if Dongbang Sak is teaching directly, it's certainly welcome, but...'

If he entered closed-door training, he couldn't leave here.

He should tell his family.

Especially since he didn't know how long he'd be away after White Light reached 200 and he became part of the light clan.

"I'm glad you're offering to teach, but I'll just go tell my family and come back."

"Alright. Go ahead."

As Dongbang Sak nodded,

Seong Jihan opened a portal to return home from the Tower.

Flash...!

And as he stepped into it,

"Oh. Uncle. You're here?"

Yoon Seah, sitting on the living room sofa, greeted him.

"Perfect timing. Sophia said she was coming over."

"I'm about to leave though? I have to do closed-door training."

"No... What closed-door training does an expert like you need?"

"Just a good opportunity came up. I'll be away for a while, so I came to let you know that."

It would be too much to tell them that Dongbang Sak was alive.

After explaining like this, Yoon Seah nodded.

"Ah. I see. But Sophia's purpose for visiting our house seems to be you, uncle..."

Just as Yoon Seah finished speaking,

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang at the entrance.

"Perfect timing. Then say hello to Sophia before you go for training."

"Alright."

Well, just a greeting.

As Seong Jihan nodded,

"Jihan!"

From the entrance, Sophia came running with a delighted expression.

This...

She was so happy that it was sad to say he had to leave immediately.

As Seong Jihan was thinking this inwardly,

'...Huh?'

Flash. Flash.

Above her forehead,

The divine eye he had seen before was sparkling.

'That... I think it reacted like this when I was Kim Jihun too.'

It hadn't activated since then.

Why was it doing this again?

As Seong Jihan was looking at the eye of light curiously,

Swish...

The light of the divine eye seemed to weaken,

And its shape changed to that of an eyeball.

'Until now, even though it was called the eye of god, it looked like a crystal of light...'

This form was a first.

Seong Jihan was looking at Sophia's divine eye with fascination, when suddenly, he realized he had seen this somewhere before.

'This... Isn't this exactly the same shape as when Urd detected Dongbang Sak?'
