< The Warlord Returned to Level 2 Episode 116 >
One leg.
This defense map, also known as ‘Jangpanpa’, is a map that has always been blocked from progress despite Seong Ji-han’s repeated challenges.
It wasn’t because Sung Ji-han’s ability was lacking.
It was because it was a map that had no choice but to do so structurally.
After dealing with the wave, the enemy giant leader Hojo appears without fail.
It was because the sword he threw mercilessly sliced the other players apart from Seong Ji-han.
When more than half of the players were killed like that, a forced event was triggered.
[You… … Live.]
The spleen who was guarding the bridge threw Sung Ji-han behind and self-destructed, breaking the bridge.
In this way, One Bridge became a map that could not be completely cleared no matter how active Seong Ji-han was.
but.
After Seong Ji-han became gold, I was able to relax a bit.
‘First of all, my abilities have grown tremendously.’
At level 50, the military and force stats, which had reached 68, invested all the level up points obtained during the gold promotion match.
He had grown up to 93 by receiving the guild effect of the phoenix in addition to the +5 all stats rewarded by Battle.net.
Only 7 points are left until the intermediate goal of 100 power to fuse the trilogy.
‘Still, it’s impossible to write the final resolution.’
The third divine decision among the ascendant martial arts of unknown gods.
The third divine belief, which can be said to be the final ritual that transcends the heavenly thunder and darkness, was not something that even Seongjihan, who had grown dramatically as he rose to gold, could not carelessly handle it.
‘I’ll be able to afford it only after I’ve fused the three-way battle.’
Seong Ji-han, who had been refining her memories of the last five rituals, greeted Sofia, who approached with a smile, and Yoon Se-ah, who was shaking her head excitedly.
“Jihan! Thanks for putting me in the party!”
“uncle. Sophia… … It turned out that it was my sister.”
“Um Sophia is older?”
“I talked about my birthday earlier, but the age calculation in America is different from ours.”
no wonder.
I heard in the last life that Sofia competed with Seong Ji-han’s older sister to recruit extraterrestrial relics.
I thought it was strange that I was the same age as Yoon Se-ah.
“Ah~ Why do you care so much about a one or two year age difference?”
“My country is sensitive to age.”
“it’s okay. We’ll be a family later, never mind!”
“… … family?”
“If you become the number one supporter, you and Jihan will become a family!”
Sophia smiled brightly and said so.
At those words, Yoon Se-ah put on a blank expression.
I just said that if Sophia gets to be number 1 in the support rankings, she might like it.
How far have you stretched your imagination?
Seong Ji-han said, rarely sweating.
“… … Let’s get first place and talk about it.”
“Wait. because it will be soon That’s why you boarded the bus that was so boring, right?”
A roaring flame was shining in Sophia’s eyes.
Sung Ji-han’s bus party.
This party, consisting of Jihan Seong and Sophia Yoon Seah, was a party that guaranteed rapid growth to gold.
‘I wanted to add a masid, but he refused.’
.
Diego Masid, who became silver this time, politely declined Seong Ji-han’s party offer, saying that he would try to pave his own path.
-Jihan. Thank you for driving the bus. But I don’t think I’ll be able to improve when I go to your party. I will grow up myself.
It was indeed an answer worthy of a former sports star.
Seong Ji-han opened her inventory.
‘I have to use the phoenix at this point.’
Bonghwanggi, an item that has been upgraded to SSS grade.
At first glance, this was similar in shape to the phoenix, which was a pure white spear.
However, unlike the phoenix, it was larger in size.
At the tip of the spear, pure white flames gathered together to draw the shape of a flag.
Fire-!
The phoenix is several times more intense than the previous phoenix.
Even though there was a flag at the end, it seemed like it would be much more powerful than the old phoenix even if you just hold it up and fight.
In particular, the biggest thing was that the condition that only showed power when shooting a phoenix disappeared.
‘Even so, if there’s something I’m disappointed with, it’s the attack power.’
The weapon performance of the phoenix itself was SS-class.
However, it was because of the several additional effects of the phoenix that it could be judged as an SSS class.
‘I heard that planting a flag creates a special effect.’
As Sung Ji-han put the phoenix flag on the ground, a system message appeared in front of him.
[Would you like to unfurl the phoenix flag here?]
“Unfold it.”
Roaring-!
Then, the flag of the phoenix was completely burned from the rim and disappeared.
The phoenix engraved inside jumped out and began to fly up into the sky by itself.
[The blessing of the phoenix descends on the battlefield.]
[All stats of nearby party members and allies are increased by 25%. This effect is applied as far as the phoenix can be seen.]
The shape of a phoenix shining brightly in the sky.
The size of the blaze was so large that it could be seen from quite a distance.
A 25% buff is applied to where you can see it.
‘The scope is considerable.’
In addition, the ability increase effect includes the caster, Seongjihan himself.
He looked at his lighter body and lifted the phoenix sticking to the ground with satisfaction.
The phoenix, whose flag had been burned, could be used as a spear as before.
‘It’s an SS-class weapon with a wide-area buff… … It was good to hear about that crazy constellation at that time.’
Did you say it was the constellation of the dead star, Kalein?
To get an item like this just by listening to his nonsense.
If I had the same opportunity next time, I wanted to listen to it again.
“and. uncle. what’s this?”
“The protection of the phoenix? The buff effect is great, isn’t it?”
Including the two members of Sung Ji-han’s party.
“oh? What kind of buff is this?”
“Can you give me a buff now… … omg. What is this figure?”
“We take the bus too!”
The players of the defense game were also surprised to see the effect of the phoenix’s protection.
A player who destroys the game by himself is now giving buffs.
Also Battle.net!
The game has no balance at all.
“Blessed by the phoenix… … If it’s a buff of this kind, it will overlap with my buff.”
“is that so?”
“yes. I will try.”
Sophia gives various buffs.
Seong Ji-han felt that her strengthened body had grown stronger as she received her three-fold buff.
‘I’m sure I can go all the way to wave 2 with this?’
Wave 2 couldn’t go further because it couldn’t stop Hojo’s escapade.
But this time, it looked like a possibility.
“Ariel. Act as a summons this time.”
“It seems that it is used more as a summoned beast than a sword for some reason.”
It was because the use of the shadow sword was ambiguous in this map where you had to deal with the undead.
Seong Ji-han summoned Ariel as a summoned beast and placed it behind the bridge.
“Sophia. Give others a buff too. Let’s go to the second stage this time.”
“of course. It’s my job to give buffs.”
Sophia also asked the other players for buffs.
at that time.
“noisy!!”
Boooooooong-!
The huge legs vibrated and a roar was heard that shook the heavens and the earth.
at the same time.
thud! thud!
Like announcing the start of the game.
The spleen of the imperial gatekeeper is approaching the players.
* * *
“Soldiers chattering behind the scenes while the gatekeeper fights alone!”
Imperial gatekeeper giant trumpet.
Punishing players who were summoned as soldiers was now almost a fixed repertoire.
-I’m going to stomp
my feet now.
-I guess so haha I’m much stronger now than I was back then. Looks like we’re going to wave 2.
-N-This is not okay if Seong Ji-han did well with cancer alone. If the players leave later, it’s over anyway?? Hahaha- I don’t think it will end as quickly as the last time because the buff is good…
Since the play method of the One Bridge map was somewhat standardized, viewers who watched it already knew what the game would be like. was expecting
If the spleen stomps his feet saying he can’t fight these crappy things.
Except for Sung Ji-han, all other players will be kicked out of the bridge.
but.
“But hey… … What is that phoenix?”
Spleen, a giant 4 meters tall, is different from his usual pattern.
I asked Sung Ji-han in a cautious manner.
“With the power of a divine beast like that, even the captain of the imperial guard could possess it… … Have you been chosen as Joung’s successor?”
-????????
-Hey, spleen, why are you like that?
-therefore? It seems like it’s going to go away
– but what is Joung? Is it a parody of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
-Like that hahahaha If you turn your spleen inside out, it’s a piece of equipment.
– Oh, was it like that? Well, looking at it, the good news is also wasted.
-I don’t know what you’re talking about because I haven’t seen Romance of the Three Kingdoms;
-You don’t have to know lol The relationship is weird in this map anyway.
‘It’s a big deal.’
The spleen, which always disliked itself because of what it looked like, came out like this.
For Seong Ji-han, it was nothing short of miraculous, but of course he didn’t reveal it outwardly.
instead.
‘Shall we go differently than usual?’
I decided to twist the game pattern.
No matter how I went to wave 2, to be honest, with the current power, I would have been wiped out.
There.
[Epic Quest]
– Receive the recognition of the giant spleen, the gatekeeper of the empire, and prevent his death.
A trump card that gives Seong Ji-han a low score because of his appearance.
Rather than getting recognized by him in a standard way, I decided to try a new route.
“Although he belongs to the imperial family. Please understand that I cannot tell you exactly.”
“Kuhm… … ! I am a sworn brother to His Majesty the Emperor. But are you saying you can’t talk to me like that?”
His face was full of wrinkles and he pursed his lips.
It seemed that this answer was not very sad, as her eyes became moist and even watery.
Seong Ji-han’s answer seemed to burst the emotions that usually accumulated in the imperial family.
-No, why are you whining
all of
a sudden
?
It just made me look more pitiful.
But I need to know something to tell you.
“hmm… … sorry.”
To Seong Ji-han’s answer.
bang! bang!
The spleen pounded his chest and burst into exasperation.
“It’s too much. too bad… … ! Are you saying you can’t even answer that much? I’m a spleen! I mean the imperial gatekeeper!”
“You cannot violate the imperial decree. Please understand.”
“Kuhm… … !”
The spleen undoubtedly showed displeasure when Seong Ji-han came out resolutely.
thud. thud.
He walked slowly and passed Seongjihan.
“You mischievous fools. Everyone back down!”
bang!
He stomped his feet on the floor and kicked the rest of the players off the bridge.
and then himself.
Tboob. Tboob.
I walked to the starting point of the bridge and sat down with my arms crossed.
“where. Then, let the proud imperial guest take care of it!”
-I’m pissed off.
-upset.
-It made me fight alone after matching the rhythm hahaha
-Ah, it doesn’t matter since I fought alone before
-Didn’t my spleen give me a concussion at that time? It would make a big difference if it was there or not.
-Isn’t there a big difference??? If our Jihan-nim picks it up, it’s all gone???
-Ah~ Yes~
Certainly, as the viewers said, in the last game, I benefited a lot from the spleen’s concussion.
It was because the power of Thunder was greatly strengthened, and he enjoyed the effect of perfect compatibility with the undead.
However, this time, there is no such synergistic effect at all because the spleen has been silent.
‘what. It’s about wave 1.’
However, compared to that time, Seongjihan was in a much stronger state.
“All right.”
Seong Ji-han walked to the middle of the bridge holding the phoenix flag that had disappeared.
“Kuh hmm… … ! Stubbornness! I will not help you even if you die!”
From behind, the spleen clears his throat several times and bluffs.
“Please.”
Sung Ji-han answered leisurely in front of the undead army.
