All Master of 100 Floors Episode 071

 

13th Floor. God of Weapons. Haiheimer (2)

 

A slime mass of mucus. Sharp blades don’t work on it.

 

What works is heavy strikes. Clenching his fist, he steps forward and throws a punch.

 

Thwack!

 

The mucus forming the slime bursts out. The slime doesn’t just take it lying down either. Its body becomes jagged and sharp, then explosive mucus blades bloom in all directions.

 

Swish-swish-swish!

 

He deflects and blocks the blades with his gauntlet. What he can’t block or dodge, he twists his body to minimize damage. Like this, he bursts the slime and approaches its core.

 

Thud!

 

He throws a punch. The core forming the slime shatters and mucus drips down.

 

[Your Martial Arts proficiency has increased.]

 

“Phew.”

 

He catches his breath briefly. But there was no time to rest leisurely. The terrain immediately began to change.

 

Rumble-rumble-rumble!

 

A cliff forms. And above it, a path so narrow that only one person could barely pass through juts out. The kind of cliff path where even the slightest slip would send you tumbling down below.

 

“Kieeeek!”

 

“Kaaak!”

 

And from the opposite path, goblins came charging. They weren’t ordinary goblins. Red Goblins. Variants much stronger than typical goblins.

 

What weapon should he use in this situation?

 

The decision was made immediately and his actions were swift. Kang Jun-hyeok drew both spear and shield at once.

 

“Kieeeek!”

 

“Kaak!”

 

The goblins pounded on his shield trying to drag Kang Jun-hyeok down. He pressed his body against the cliff as much as possible and put strength into his legs. Then he charged forward with his shield.

 

“Kaaaak!”

 

“Kieeeek!”

 

Unable to withstand the force, the goblins were pushed back and either got skewered on his spear or fell off the cliff.

 

If he had been even slightly late in raising his shield, he would have been caught by them and fallen off the cliff together.

 

[Your Spear Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

[Your Shield Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

Rumble-rumble!

 

The terrain changes again. This time it was a forest. A giant tree monster appears before Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

“Kuooooo!”

 

The tree monster swings its branches with a roar.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok hastily raises his shield. The branch collides with the shield and his body slides backward.

 

Strong.

 

In terms of strength, it’s no match. And since it’s a monster made of wood, simply stabbing it is meaningless.

 

So he puts away the spear and takes out the axe.

 

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

 

He blocks the swinging branches with his shield while approaching and strikes with the axe. The tree monster roars and wildly swings its branches.

 

Kugugugugung!

 

Unable to block everything, some branches strike his back and legs.

 

Enduring the impact, he strikes even harder with the axe.

 

After several minutes like this, the tree monster falls.

 

[Axe Technique proficiency has increased from F to E.]

 

[Shield Technique proficiency has increased from F to E.]

 

“Whew.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok catches his breath. His breathing had become rougher than before.

 

Kugugung!

 

But there was no time to rest. The terrain immediately changed to a colosseum. Two warriors with swords charged at Kang Jun-hyeok in unison.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok gritted his teeth and drew his sword.

 

Kagagagak!

 

The swords roughly struck his shield. Strong and fast. Their coordination made counterattacking difficult.

 

‘This is.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind raced quickly.

 

Each enemy that appeared was difficult enough for him to defeat without taking damage.

 

Not only his system stamina, but physical and mental fatigue was accumulating.

 

The conclusion came quickly.

 

If this continues, it’s dangerous.

 

He didn’t know how long enemies would keep appearing. Moreover, the opponents were getting slightly stronger each time.

 

This is a real trial given by god. With his memories of his previous life, he knows. That clearing it through ordinary methods is impossible. That some change must occur.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes grew cold.

 

Even while blocking the fierce continuous attacks with his shield, his mind remained infinitely calm.

 

Active Skills are prohibited. What he can use are only equipment and Passive Skills.

 

Among these, what could change the situation?

 

The answer came immediately.

 

[ Divine Technique]

 

His martial arts that Manbyeonggi had given him. A Unique Skill that can control and handle all weapons.

 

He focuses on it.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s movements begin to gradually change.

 

Kagagagak!

 

He strikes and deflects the swinging swords with his shield. But almost none of Kang Jun-hyeok’s strength goes into it. He uses the opponent’s force against them.

 

Teoeong!

 

He strikes the shield. He spins his body as it’s pushed back. Receiving the rebound force and acceleration, he thrusts his sword forward.

 

Kaaaang!

 

One warrior is pushed back as if bounced away. Not missing that opening, he advances forward. Using the remaining warrior’s attacking force as rebound, he drives his sword into that chest.

 

Kwadeudeuk.

 

The bounced warrior charges in. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly deflects the shield and raised his sword. The sword pierced straight into the charging opponent’s neck.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s strength was barely used as he defeated the opponent by reversing their charging force.

 

[Divine Technique proficiency has increased slightly.]

 

[Hooh.]

 

Manbyeonggi made a sound as if amused.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had not properly handled his Divine Technique until now.

 

It was extremely clumsy, not even reaching a superficial level.

 

Until now, that didn’t matter. Kang Jun-hyeok was unreasonably strong. It wasn’t a major flaw.

 

But this place was different. The appearing enemies were powerful, and Active Skills were sealed.

 

Therefore, only now was Kang Jun-hyeok beginning to seriously focus on his Divine Technique.

 

[Was this what you were aiming for, Haiheimer.]

 

Joy arises from the gaze felt from Heaven.

 

The next enemy to appear was a knight in thick armor wielding a great sword.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok immediately draws his great sword.

 

Kaaaang!

 

Great sword and great sword collide, making a loud noise. The knight charges like a tank, pressuring Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok twists his body and retreats backward to evade while thrusting his great sword.

 

Kagagagak!

 

But it fails to pierce the armor.

 

An opponent he cannot deal effective damage to with his strength alone.

 

The moment he grasps that fact, Kang Jun-hyeok’s movement changes.

 

Kaaaang!

 

Great sword and great sword collide. The force generated from that gradually builds up in Kang Jun-hyeok’s weapon.

 

Kaaaaang!

 

The great sword charged with that force smashes the knight’s helmet. The knight staggers but regains posture. Stepping forward, he roughly thrusts his great sword.

 

Buuuung!

 

The great sword futilely cuts through air.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, having already put away his great sword, grabs the arm and slams it to the floor. With a thunderous sound, cracks spread across the floor. The knight coughs and spits blood.

 

[Greatsword Mastery proficiency has increased greatly.]

 

[Divine Technique proficiency has increased slightly.]

 

Next, a massive cliff spread out before him. Beyond the cliff, seven ballistae were positioned.

 

Judging the distance, even shooting a bow at full power wouldn’t reach.

 

It seemed to be telling him something. To perfectly master what he possessed. That he couldn’t win otherwise.

 

“Hmph.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok snorted and drew his bow.

 

He pulled the bowstring and waited. The ballistae fired all at once.

 

Kwagagagagang!

 

The ballista shattered and destroyed the ground. The recoil from that force struck Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok bounced his body as if springing. The recoil from the ballista shattering the ground settled into his bow.

 

It was certainly a strange flow of power.

 

A mysterious principle that ordinary people could neither understand nor accept.

 

The bowstring was drawn. The arrow pierced through the head of the person holding the ballista beyond the cliff with a sharp whistling sound.

 

Continuing this series of processes, he dealt with all his opponents.

 

[Archery proficiency has increased from F to E.]

 

[Divine Technique proficiency has increased slightly.]

 

Kuguugugung!

 

The space changed once again.

 

This time it was an empty plain with nothing on it.

 

His opponent was a knight wearing jet black armor. Holding a black longsword in both hands, he was quietly waiting for Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately understood.

 

“The King of All Weapons is the sword.”

 

He drew his sword in response. Gripping the white sword that contrasted with the black, he kicked off the ground.

 

Kaaaang!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword was deflected. The black sword moved smoothly, quickly targeting vital points.

 

Kagagak!

 

He quickly assumed his stance, but the knight’s attacks were extremely sharp. He couldn’t even defend properly, let alone counterattack.

 

Strong.

 

His strength and speed surpassed Kang Jun-hyeok’s, and his sword technique was on par with Alessandro, the defeated one from the Great War whom he had faced in the past.

 

In the past, he had been unable to properly respond to Alessandro’s sword technique. He had only won because Alessandro couldn’t properly respond to the Player’s peculiarities, not because he had ever won through technique.

 

However, he was different now from back then.

 

Kagagagak!

 

The white sword moved. Both swords drew strange movements as they collided.

 

The knight’s sword was extremely smooth. Beautiful technique, like a single dance movement.

 

In contrast, Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword technique was violent. He transferred and redirected force to amplify it. He created even stronger power and unleashed it.

 

Jjeoeong!

 

The smoothly moving sword tried to cut Kang Jun-hyeok’s wrist. He lowered his arm to dodge and struck upward with the recoil.

 

Kagak!

 

The knight gracefully leaned back to dodge. He spun once and slashed upward with his sword. Kang Jun-hyeok instead pressed down with force.

 

Kaaang!

 

They clashed and clashed again. Neither side was easily pushed back, creating a state of equilibrium.

 

There were no stray thoughts in Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind. He only thought about moving his sword, controlling the direction of force, and defeating his enemy.

 

At that moment, his mind suddenly became clear.

 

His vision widened and the world slowed down. His own movements began to appear as if from a third-person perspective.

 

It was a single enlightenment.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok moved his sword in a daze. His internal energy flowed naturally according to the movement. The sword that clashed with the black sword created a strange motion.

 

Kagagagagak!

 

The sword that advanced while scraping the blade surface had its power amplified in an instant.

 

He swung it like cracking a whip. The knight’s body that took the hit was pushed back as if bouncing away.

 

Crack. Snap.

 

Cracks spread rapidly across the armor.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been watching the knight for a moment, stepped forward. The staggering knight began his counterattack.

 

Kagagagak!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t show any large movements. He lightly flicked his wrist to deflect and parry the knight’s attacks. Then he swung with the amplified power. The knight blocked with his sword.

 

Kuuuung!

 

The knight’s feet slid backward. Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward again and struck down with his sword.

 

The situation changed. The knight’s beautiful sword technique couldn’t block Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword technique. No. It went beyond that. The knight’s attacks were instead turned back against him.

 

With just light movements, power was applied and transferred, becoming massive like a raging torrent.

 

And finally.

 

Kwajijik.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword pierced through his opponent’s chest. The knight lost strength and collapsed.

 

[Sword Technique proficiency has increased from E to D.]

 

[Manbyeonggi Divine Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

“…This is.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a groan. His widened vision and slowed time returned to normal. Manbyeonggi spoke quietly.

 

[It is Reverse Momentum Strengthening and Absorb Attack Break Momentum.]

 

Accept the opponent’s momentum and change it into your own power, absorb the opponent’s attacks and shatter the opponent’s momentum.

 

[Though still immature, it has become decent enough to watch. Congratulations. You have now understood the first principle of this lord’s martial arts.]
