< The Warlord Returned to Level 2 Episode 9 >
* * *
– In the past, the price of sacred objects was very cheap.
The saintess remembered the past.
-It’s a holy relic and the item grade was high, but the stats weren’t good.
– Was it?
-yes. Still, in 2010, when the earth tutorial first started, the price was high, thinking there must be some secret… … .
The saintess spread her hands and said.
-After 10 years, the secret of the sacred object was not solved, so the price hit the lower limit.
-so? get to the point
-He has a quick temper. I was going to tell you the history of collecting the holy relics.
She pouted and got to the point Seong Ji-han wanted.
-There is an alien relic among the relics.
-know.
– If you hold on to it while praying and concentrating your divine power, you can gain divine power by saying ‘I understood the god of the alien world’.
-… … is that the end?
-yes. It must be an alien relic. And you have to hold on to the holy relic for quite some time.
– It seems to be an easier condition than I thought, but I don’t know why it wasn’t widely known.
-As a supporter, there is no need to use alien relics. Holy relics passed down from Earth’s religions, such as Christianity and Buddhism, give supporters a direct divine power bonus. There is no such thing as an alien relic.
The saintess then tilted her head slightly.
– But now that I think about it, I don’t think I’m the only one who knows this method. There was someone who constantly bought alien relics.
-okay?
-yes. Although it has disappeared since 2019.
Even then, I didn’t take her words seriously.
However, Seong Ji-han was able to find out who the other buyer she was talking about was in the process of searching her brother-in-law’s penthouse.
‘It was my older sister.’
Seong Ji-han’s older sister, Seong Ji-ah.
She is also the top class among Korean supporters.
It was a ‘saint’.
And she sacrificed herself to prevent a huge ‘accident’ that happened in Korea in 2019.
As the American saint said, it coincided in time with the disappearance of purchases since 2019.
‘and… … A pile of alien relics were found in my sister’s storage room.’
When I explored my brother-in-law’s penthouse.
Seong Ji-han found alien relics piled up in the storage area used by her sister Seong Ji-ah.
And most items.
[It was an alien relic (Class F)]
-It was an alien relic, but it is useless because its divine power has disappeared.
The item description was written like this.
However, some items were not F-grade unlike others.
‘An example is this.’ puck! puck!
Seong Ji-han broke the zombie head with an iron bar and recalled the description of this item.
[Alien Relic – Iron Bar (E-class)]
– A weapon with strong durability.
– The alien clerics strengthen their faith by slapping the heretics on the head.
Is it because, as the item description says, you have to hit Ethan on the head and strengthen your faith?
This item was still in my sister’s storage without the divine power being absorbed.
And every time Seong Ji-han smashes a zombie’s head.
[Your understanding of extraterrestrial faith deepens.]
[Holy power increases slightly.]
This message kept popping up.
Especially when dealing with powerful blood zombies.
[The holy relic is delighted to meet the terrible heresy.]
[The sacred power arises by itself in accordance with the original purpose of the holy relic.]
He was teaching Seong Ji-han, who had a low level of divine power, how to use divine power.
‘In a way, it’s similar to raising energy.’
Of course, raising energy and operating divine power had different starting points.
If Ki started from the lower part of the body, it felt like the divine power was extending from the head to the hands.
Anyway, both of them are one aura.
After receiving the guidance of divine power once, Sung Ji-han was able to naturally manifest divine power as a weapon.
Fuck!
Another Blood Zombie’s head was smashed and set ablaze with a white torch.
A feat that is too overwhelming for a level 6 bronze player.
Kill more than 100 zombies and explode 10 blood zombie heads.
[I fully understand the beliefs of the alien world.]
[Holy power increases by 1.]
[The grade of ‘External Relic – Iron Bar’ is reduced to F grade.]
The iron bar’s sacred power is absorbed and the grade is lowered.
It was believed that he understood the faith of the alien world by breaking the head of heresy according to the purpose of the weapon.
‘Even F-class is worth using.’
Only the divine power contained in the holy relic disappeared.
The rigidity of the iron bars remained the same.
‘Now I fight while saving my holy power as much as possible.’
A zombie that rushes at you without paying attention even though the heads of numerous comrades have been blown off.
puck! puck! puck!
I didn’t bother to use divine power on normal zombies and smashed them in the head.
Chiyiik-!
When smoke rises from among the zombies, he prepares for a blood zombie and raises the holy power to the iron bar.
Seong Ji-han, who kills all zombies without retreating even one step through perfect power distribution.
“and. it’s crazy… … .”
The archer stared at his back indifferently.
I wonder if Jang Panpa’s equipment is like that.
movement of the rod.
Hit the zombies’ heads one after another with terrifying precision.
It was as if he could understand every movement of the zombie.
On the other hand, Lim Ga-young was more surprised by Sung Ji-han’s power from the warrior’s point of view.
‘… … The power control is perfect.’
When it is a normal zombie, it does not express divine power.
Only when he is a Blood Zombie, he conserves his strength by using his divine power right before smashing his head.
Lim Ga-young was also bronze, but thanks to her excellent gift, she was able to handle sword skills.
I knew how difficult that was.
‘… … according to the lady’s words. I’m lucky I didn’t meet the author at the Colosseum.’
sacred.
His strength was unparalleled.
An iron bar that destroys zombie heads like breaking a watermelon.
‘Can I avoid that?’
Lim Ga-young was not confident.
Dozens of minutes have passed since I filmed Musou with such a holy spirit alone.
A change has occurred in the game.
“oh. All other towers have already been eliminated! Not last! Not last!”
Archer was delighted as he checked the scoreboard.
Top 10 with 430 kills and last place.
This one was located in 5th place at 478 km.
“We can help him too! We need to increase the number of kills even a little!”
The archer made a fuss and fired an arrow at the string.
Her attitude has changed 180 degrees compared to when she said something to Seong Ji-han earlier.
If 5 towers are eliminated, the next ranking is based on the number of kills, so I had to kill at least one more zombie.
“Can I join the battle?”
When Lim Ga-young asked Seong Ji-han for permission, he looked at the scoreboard.
‘478… … After all, it would be impossible to eliminate 1,000 of them.’
A chain quest to eliminate 1000 zombies.
Even though I beat the zombies by myself without rest, it was impossible to clear it due to time constraints.
‘As the level rises, other tower competitors will be matched with stronger opponents, so there will be more room.’
However, in the new game, it will be different from the situation in which the troller kills the zombies alone.
‘also… … Should I go down and break this achievement?’
Seong Ji-han grabbed the zombie and looked down the tower.
The number of zombies on the ground is incomparable to the number of towers.
No matter how strong the stat support was, it was impossible right now.
‘I’ll have to grow up and challenge myself later.’
Seong Ji-han postponed the clearing of the linked quest for the time being and answered Lim Ga-young.
“Do by that way.”
“yes!”
Seureung-
When Seong Ji-han’s permission was granted, Lim Ga-yeong vigorously drew her sword.
Its appearance is closer to that of a Chinese Hansword rather than a Western-style sword.
When she took out her sword, it smelled of plum blossoms.
And when Sung Ji-han smelled the scent, he was able to recall who she was in the past.
‘Im Ga-young. Someone said… … Was it the plum sword?’
Maehwagum Lim Ga-young.
After the sword king Yoon Se-jin left Korea, he was in the limelight as the representative of Korea’s next warrior class.
Around the time Seong Ji-han was growing up quickly after belatedly awakening to Gift and gaining an unknown new skill.
She was already one of the top players in Korea.
‘… … But it didn’t end well.’
In the final match of the Northeast Asia League, which caused Korea to collapse, she participated as a Korean representative and was killed in action.
With the hands of Sword King Yoon Se-jin, who became Japan’s top player.
‘You won’t die this time, so you should thank me.’
Seong Ji-han, who naturally thinks that he will be the representative of Korea.
He was displaying a force worthy of that idea.
“Oh oh… … ! Two more towers were dropped. We are 3rd! The difference between the first place and the first place is 10 zombies!”
The archer shouted excitedly with the scoreboard floating.
He was shooting arrows in his own way, but now he was more like a commentator than a player.
Seong Ji-han heard that and decided that it was time to raise the odds.
“Ten will be over soon, so let’s try to overdo it.”
“… … ?”
“Fix your position, please.”
How can you push yourself further here?
Lim Ga-young was puzzled, but nodded.
OK.
“Then let’s go.”
Flash-!
At the end of the iron bar, a dazzling white light bloomed.
Sung Ji-han fell down the tower in that state.
“Heh heh… … 12 kilos. the difference gets bigger. Give it a little effort… … Eh… … ! Where are you going!”
The archer, who was absorbed in the commentary for a while, was shocked when Sung Ji-han fell down the tower.
“uh… … ? The number of key kills… … ! Catch up with the kill difference in seconds! Number 2 now! Three more kilometers!”
Soon, he couldn’t hide a smile on his lips as the number of kills increased in an instant.
A mountain of zombies spread out under the tower.
It was because the iron bar wrapped with divine power was being burned.
‘Anyway, it’s over now. It’s time to use all the divine power.’
Fire!
The holy power rising long like a comet easily tore through the crowd of zombies and burned the entire body with torches.
And the fire quickly spread to the surrounding zombies.
Chiyiik-!
It didn’t take long for the mountains of zombies that had built up to the top of the tower to be covered with white flames.
“This number one!!! 1st place! It’s first class! Mr. Wow! this really… … Does that make sense? A supporter?”
The archer danced in disbelief.
Of course I thought I was in last place, but I was in first place with 561 kg!
On top of that, Seong Ji-han did 550 kills.
‘Are you really the person who did the tutorial with me?’
And Lim Ga-young saw the scene under the tower and felt dejected.
Alien game Battle.net.
No matter how famous this shit balance is, there’s a degree to it.
A player in the second game showing off what even a silver level player would have thought possible?
‘… … Should I quit the game?’
For the first time, Lim Ga-young felt a wall she had never experienced before.
[5 towers have been eliminated.]
[Defense game – 10 towers have ended.]
Flash.
When the game ended, Sung Ji-han, who had fallen down the tower, was summoned up again.
Zombie blood was all over his clothes, but his body was fine.
“and… … Thank you very much for your hard work! Thanks to you, I’m trying to get first place! I will finally be level 10!”
An archer who shouts excitedly, greets like a machine, and logs out.
He seemed very excited when he won first place in a game he thought was ruined.
“excuse me. Seong Ji-han.”
When the archer disappears, Lim Ga-young quickly approaches Seong Ji-han.
Forgetting her discouragement earlier, she opened her mouth with a determined face.
Seong Ji-han, who was about to log out, looked at Lim Ga-young.
“Do you know me?”
“I… … .”
her lips were swollen.
I’m Lim Ga-young from the Lee Sung Guild.
The guild would like to contact you to inquire about recruiting, so could you give me a phone number where I can contact you?
Although she had something to say in her head.
“Give me your number.”
Is it because I am in a hurry?
Without an introduction, the main topic came out straight ahead.
“… … .”
“ah. that is. I’m from the opposite sex guild… … Because of recruitment… … .”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t remember my number.”
“… … yes?”
“I’ll let you know when I see you later.”
You don’t know your cell phone number?
‘What nonsense is that… … !’
At the same time, Ga-young Lim watched blankly as Seong Ji-han logged out.
‘Am I black?’
