The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 132

“Shizuru…!?”

Yoon Seah hastily retreated.

The message that had appeared to Shizuru was also looming similar for Yoon Seah.

[The Seal of Thunder resists mental contamination.]

[Cannot completely resist ‘Enchantment’.]

[Cannot completely resist ‘Obedience’.]

“Ugh…”

Even as she looked at Shizuru, who wore a common face under her disguise, Yoon Seah’s heart pounded.

Although not entirely enchanted, for some reason, she felt an urge to kneel and worship her.

“Yoon Seah! Snap out of it!”

Only when Ariel shouted did she startle and quickly withdraw.

“Oh dear, where are you going?”

Thud!

Shizuru, swatting off Ariel’s shadow hand, spoke leisurely to Yoon Seah.

The chance to easily take Yoon Seah was gone.

Yet, she didn’t lose her confidence in this situation.

‘It’s just a summon, not Seong Jihan. I can quickly defeat it with Akari’s body.’

Swish!

Shizuru drew a dagger from her inventory and swung it.

The red dagger, obviously extraordinary, shone at first glance.

Swoosh!

Her skill with the dagger, compared to the body’s original owner, Akari, was considerably clumsy.

However, as the blade flashed red,

“Uh…!”

Ariel’s arm split in half, with a flame surging through the gap.

Although she tried to regenerate her body using the power of shadow,

The fire stubbornly burned, interfering with the recovery.

“That’s a good weapon.”

“Thanks to many sponsors.”

Shizuru, though less skilled than Akari, compensated with items.

Being nearly the top player behind the scenes in Japan, she was fully equipped with everything money and power could buy.

‘I can’t stop her alone.’

Ariel quickly assessed the situation and shouted to Yoon Seah.

“Seah. Run! And contact Master.”

“Ah, got it…!”

“Seah~ where are you going? Come here. Don’t you want to see your Dad?”

“How dare you speak of Dad…!”

“Hehe. From now on, you can call me Mom.”

Call her Mom?

Yoon Seah clenched her fists.

It was like cold water being poured onto her Enchantment-muddled mind.

‘I absolutely can’t be caught here!’

Thanks to her Seal of Thunder, she resisted once, but if caught again, she couldn’t guarantee what would happen next.

If she were to be enchanted and obedient and taken to Japan,

She might have to call that woman ‘Mom’ for real.

‘It’s better to die than that…!’

Yoon Seah, gritting her teeth and fleeing, called Seong Jihan.

“Uncle! Shizuru is here in the underground mart…!”

[What?!]

Even before the call ended,

“Shizuru? You should call me Mom, Seah.”

Shizuru, now transparent and in a spirit form, approached Yoon Seah, ignoring Ariel’s attacking shadow sword from behind.

“This. Crazy… how many items does she have?!”

The cause was an item, again.

Although the clothes Shizuru wore—a t-shirt and shorts—offered no defense,

Thump!

Even as the shadow sword tried to pierce her chest,

A talisman popped out of nowhere, blocking the attack.

A single-use protective talisman that automatically blocks an attack.

Despite its phenomenal performance, its astronomical price deterred even top players from purchasing it.

But as Ariel attacked, they continuously popped out of Shizuru.

“I already spent 50 billion yen because of our Seah… you should compensate for this.”

Swiiiish!

Shizuru, dissolving her spirit form to touch Yoon Seah, smiled triumphantly.

There was a moment of resistance, but once captured, it would be the end.

Even though Yoon Seah was an outstanding player, she was just a Silver.

She would not escape from the grasp of herself, a Diamond Rank, any longer.

“…Inventory.”

Then,

Yoon Seah hastily pulled something out of her inventory and raised both hands.

“Heh. What are you doing?”

At first, Shizuru, seeing Yoon Seah acting strangely in mid-air, scoffed.

“…Huh?”

As Yoon Seah’s figure disappeared completely, Shizuru’s expression hardened.

What’s going on?

She was a fish already caught.

Where did she go?

‘Is it a cloak of invisibility or something?’

Shizuru hastily reached towards where Yoon Seah disappeared, but.

‘…She’s gone.’

Nothing, there was nothing to grasp.

* * * * *

In the past, Seong Jihan handed over the Veil of the Void to Yoon Seah in preparation for Xin Youhwa’s air raid.

Although it became useless after Xin Youhwa died.

“Uncle, I don’t need this anymore, right? You should take it.”

“No, keep it with you. What do I have to hide from?”

He had no particular reason to hide, so he completely handed over the Veil of the Void to Yoon Seah.

“Just, don’t hide for too long. You can get buried in the void.”

The hiding effect of the Veil of the Void was outstanding.

But due to the creepy penalty, Seong Jihan instructed to only use it in real danger.

After reading the item description, Yoon Seah tried not to use the Veil of the Void unless necessary.

The only time she actually used it was the first time during practice.

‘I was told not to move…….’

The world inside the veil.

It was not particularly different from the real world.

It’s just that the world moved about twice as fast as usual.

Yoon Seah watched with trembling heart as Shizuru reached out to her, but

Swoooosh!

The hand passed through Yoon Seah’s body as if through thin air, and came back.

‘Phew.’

It really works. She sighed inwardly.

‘Now, do I just wait for Uncle to come?’

Thinking so, Yoon Seah suddenly felt pitiful.

‘……I can’t do anything without Uncle.’

Thanks to Seong Jihan’s Seal of Thunder and Ariel.

And thanks to the gifted Veil of the Void, she was able to escape the crisis.

If even one of these wasn’t available.

She might have already been calling Shizuru “Mom” and following her to Japan.

‘Mom? That crazy…….’

Thinking of calling Shizuru her mom, she felt her blood surge.

How can one refer to oneself with such a loose-lipped manner?

Shizuru was the first person to be targeted of Yoon Seah’s murderous intent.

‘If I could, that woman. I want to beat her with my power…….’

Looking at the enemy in front of her, Yoon Seah harbored her grudge, but no matter how great her Gift was, she had no power at the moment.

Chewing on her powerlessness and trying only to stand still, Yoon Seah,

‘Uh…….’

Saw a light blue mist rising in bunches from afar. A change was beginning to occur in the world inside the veil, which was identical to the real world.

While watching it, she recalled the penalty of the Veil of the Void.

‘Could that be, the void…….’

* * * * *

Swish! Swish!

Shizuru reached towards where Yoon Seah disappeared several times and then looked back at Ariel.

“You…… know something?”

“Even if I know, should I tell?”

“Shouldn’t you tell me?”

Swinging her dagger three times, Shizuru spoke.

Whooosh……!

Then, Ariel’s arms and legs were all cut and began to burn.

“Consider it an honor for a summoned creature like you to serve me.”

Shizuru sincerely said that and approached Ariel.

Even though her supporting gift was exceptional, it had significant limitations in Enchantment and Obedience.

So, originally, she wouldn’t have used Enchantment on such a summoned creature because it would have been wasteful.

‘I need to take her quickly.’

In order to kidnap Yoon Seah, Shizuru steeled herself to use Enchantment on the summon as well and reached out.

Thump!

Just as she was about to place her hand on Ariel’s face and cast Enchantment, she,

“Uh……”

Was astonished and gaped.

“You…… what are……”

“Do you think I will fall for the Enchantment of such a lower-ranking species? Me?”

“The difference between species……?”

With a face full of astonishment, Shizuru stared at Ariel.

Although it was her first time using Enchantment on a different species, the moment she opened Ariel’s status window, she instinctively felt an overwhelming difference in rank.

‘This isn’t just a difference in species, it’s more than that!’

Is this really the summoned creature that easily lost its limbs?

She hastily removed her hand from Ariel, shaking.

“Hooh…… you do have eyes to see.”

Despite losing its limbs, Ariel spoke leisurely.

Shizuru bit her lip.

Subduing Ariel was impossible, and if she wasted more time here, Seong Jihan would arrive.

“……I’ll have to wait till next time.”

Swooosh!

Her body slowly became transparent.

“See you again. Daughter.”

Waving towards where Yoon Seah disappeared, she concealed herself.

And almost at the same time.

“Ariel!”

Seong Jihan appeared.

“Master. You came quickly.”

Swooosh!

When Seong Jihan arrived, Ariel, empowered by the shadow energy, restored her limbs and stood up.

“How did it go? Where’s Seah?!”

“Over there.”

As Ariel pointed to the thin air and pretended to flip something, Seong Jihan let out a sigh of relief.

The Veil of the Void… It was good that it wasn’t taken back.

“Shizuru? Did she run away?”

“Yes. But I’ve attached a shadow to her.”

Ariel hadn’t been idle either.

A little while ago, when Shizuru touched Ariel, she discreetly attached a shadow to her.

Ariel, now recovered, briefly closed her eyes and soon located Shizuru.

“Interestingly… she’s in this building.”

“Where?”

“On the 19th floor. Seems like she rented an officetel.”

“Really? Seah, let’s go.”

When Seong Jihan called Yoon Seah, she popped out of the thin air.

Her face was dazed, stunned.

Snap!

“Ah…!”

When Seong Jihan clapped his hands in front of her, she quickly came to her senses.

“Let’s go quickly. We need to suppress Shizuru before she escapes.”

Seong Jihan had a murderous air about him.

Yoon Seah had never seen her uncle so angry before.

“Am… Am I a hindrance?”

“If a dangerous situation arises, use the veil again. Leaving you here alone is rather worrisome.”

Saying that, Seong Jihan embraced Yoon Seah’s waist.

“Hold on tight.”

Flash!

Seong Jihan, moving at ultra-high speed, exited the mart.

In an instant, he came out of the building and

“Is that the place?”

He flew straight towards a window on the 19th floor.

Crash!

Glass shattered.

“How… How did you know?!”

Shizuru, who was grabbing her laptop, looked at Seong Jihan with a defeated expression.

“Why so fast….”

Before Shizuru could finish speaking, Seong Jihan swung his black sword.

Screech!

Then, dozens of talismans sprang from Shizuru’s bosom and burned up all at once.

Talismans that had the effect of preventing fatal injuries, dozens of them disappeared with a single strike.

“Mon… Monster!”

Seong Jihan.

Had this human become an even more insane monster than before?

Shizuru quickly assessed the situation.

She can’t escape this.

In that case…

Swoosh!

She opened the laptop screen and threw the dagger she was holding into it.

The red dagger that had easily incapacitated Ariel.

Then.

Whoosh!

Instead of breaking the screen, the dagger was sucked into it.

“I should send the national treasure away.”

Simultaneously with those words.

Screech!

Shizuru’s body split open, and blood veins were exposed.

Now that all the protective talismans were shattered, there was no defense.

Looking at her own body, Shizuru, feeling no pain, merely commented, seemingly regretful.

“Ah. What a waste… how I had controlled this body. It’s dying so soon.”

Swooosh!

Shizuru’s face, which had been ordinary, began to change.

Transforming into the bewitching appearance she had shown when enchanting Seong Jihan before,

“Seah, if you want to see Dad, come to Japan. I’ll be waiting.”

With those last words.

Her face changed back to that of the original owner of the body, Akari.

“Ah… I… I am… Aaaaah!”

Then, Akari, feeling extreme pain unlike Shizuru just a moment before,

[Wh, wh, where… is this… You’re Seong Jihan…!]

Contrary to before, she babbled in Japanese.

“What is she saying?”

[She’s asking where this is. Seems like a different person.]

“Hmm…”

It didn’t seem like an act, considering her inexplicable appearance.

Swoosh!

Seong Jihan sheathed his sword and reached out to Akari.

“Great Heal.”

With that, Akari’s split body began to heal rapidly.

Although new Support skills couldn’t be learned All For One, he could still use the ones he had.

And with Martial Soul achieved, the effect of the heal was incredibly enhanced, so Akari, who seemed about to die any moment, quickly returned to normal.

[Wh, what did… you do?]

“Nothing much. Your body should be healthy now since you don’t feel any pain.”

Seong Jihan glared at Akari with menacing eyes.

“I need you to spill… information about Shizuru. Without omitting a single detail.”
