All Master of 100 Floors Episode 077

 

Floor 14. Great Ocean (5)

 

[Kueo. Kueoeoeo…]

 

The Kraken was letting out cries filled with pain.

 

Its eyes hurt, and the severed end of its leg throbbed. This was the first time it had ever felt such pain.

 

[Kuuuuu.]

 

The Kraken simply couldn’t understand. It had clearly established itself in the dwelling of small creatures and was expanding its territory without any problems.

 

But suddenly a human had appeared. Not only was Mind Control ineffective against it, but it was strong enough to wound the Kraken and escape.

 

[Kueo….]

 

The Kraken fell into deep thought.

 

Its presence here had been discovered.

 

The human had escaped. Next time it came, it wouldn’t be alone. It would surely bring all sorts of powerful beings.

 

The Kraken was still young. Though it possessed considerable power, it would be difficult to withstand an attack from a group assault.

 

Should it relocate and start over from the beginning? Or should it stand and fight as things were?

 

Judging coldly, the former was correct, but its pride was wounded. It was at this moment that the Kraken fell into contemplation.

 

[Kueng?]

 

The Kraken flinched.

 

Multiple life forms had entered its territory.

 

Already? As it expanded its senses in panic, it could tell. The human who had wounded it had returned.

 

And behind it, it had brought mermaids.

 

But the mermaids’ power was insignificant. They were at a level where a single swing of its leg could send them all flying.

 

The panic subsided and soon anger began to swirl.

 

How dare it try to face me with such insects?

 

[Kueoeoeoeo!]

 

An enraged roar echoed through the water.

 

The roar became waves that created ripples in the sea. The faces of the mermaids following behind Kang Jun-hyeok turned pale.

 

“Please don’t worry. I’ll handle the Kraken. I just need you all to capture the fishmen.”

 

“Y-yes!”

 

“Understood!”

 

At Kang Jun-hyeok’s words, the mermaids nodded with tense expressions.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok launched his body and arrived above the Kraken.

 

[Kueoeoeo!]

 

A cry burst forth and waves erupted violently. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

 

“Has it recovered?”

 

Though scars remained in the Kraken’s pupils, there seemed to be no problem with its vision. Eyes filled with rage were directed at him.

 

“Good. Let’s do this.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok drew his spear.

 

A tremendous roar echoes as the tentacles move in unison.

 

* * *

 

Whoooosh!

 

The deep sea currents burst apart from the tremendous force.

 

Strong, fast, and precise. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly activates his skill.

 

[Judgment of Law.]

 

All action speeds reduced by 10%. Indeed, the Kraken’s movements became noticeably slower.

 

But even so, it was still fast nonetheless. Though he dodged as soon as he saw the movement, the water waves struck Kang Jun-hyeok’s body.

 

[Kuuuh! Kuuuuuh!]

 

The Kraken’s tentacles violently target Kang Jun-hyeok. He moves his body with all his might, but the aftershocks continue to strike him.

 

Fast and strong. He can’t dodge all the attacks from the Kraken whose sight has recovered. No matter how he twists his body, he’ll eventually get hit.

 

So instead, he approaches.

 

[Stealth.]

 

His body becomes concealed. The Kraken, which had been attacking violently, hesitates. For a moment, it completely lost track of Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

And when Kang Jun-hyeok revealed himself again, he had closed half the distance to the Kraken.

 

[Kuuuh!]

 

The Kraken hurriedly moves its tentacles. But their speed was actually slower than when he was farther away.

 

It was like a whip. The tip of a whip swings at supersonic speed, but the middle section isn’t that fast. Since the Kraken’s tentacles worked on a similar principle, approaching made them easier to dodge.

 

[Kuuuuuh!]

 

The Kraken panics and swings its tentacles violently. Kang Jun-hyeok’s movement changes. Instead of approaching head-on, he moves his body chaotically up, down, left, and right. The tentacles chase after Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Ku, kuuuh?]

 

In the midst of this, the Kraken realized something strange.

 

Its own tentacles that had been swinging were getting tangled up. Kang Jun-hyeok pulled out his spear as if he had expected this.

 

Thunk.

 

He pierces through the tangled tentacles. The Kraken tries to swing its tentacles in furious pain, but the more it does, the more tangled the tentacles become.

 

[Wait.]

 

Manbyeonggi, who had been quietly watching the scene, mutters.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s current movements were somehow strange.

 

They were too familiar and calculated.

 

As if he had faced a Kraken before.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok continued to stab the tentacles that had gotten tangled up among themselves.

 

[Ke, kek!]

 

At that moment, the Kraken’s body trembled. Its body began to turn purple.

 

The equipment effect of Queen’s Poison Needle. When attacking, there’s a certain probability of inflicting poison status ailment. That had activated.

 

The Kraken’s health was ridiculously high. It was necessary to slowly chip away at it like this.

 

[Kuuuuuh!]

 

After thrashing about for a while, the Kraken finally calmed its excitement. It couldn’t just keep thrashing like this.

 

The Kraken finally settled down and slowly untangled its twisted tentacles. During that process, there were dozens of stabs, but it endured the pain and barely succeeded in untangling them.

 

[Kuuuuu…]

 

The Kraken glared at Kang Jun-hyeok with narrowed eyes.

 

This human was weak and frail.

 

But he was quite cunning, making him not easy to deal with.

 

So, it would call for others.

 

There happened to be good chess pieces available. The Kraken trembled its body.

 

Wooooong.

 

Waves rippled out. Something like ultrasonic waves swept through the sea.

 

It was a wave of mind control.

 

Naturally, the target wasn’t Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

The mermaids who had followed him were the targets.

 

It planned to control them and make them capture Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Woooooong!

 

The waves trembled. The mermaids also realized that the Kraken was trying to use mind control.

 

As ordinary beings, they couldn’t resist the Kraken’s divine authority.

 

But they shouted as if they had been waiting for this.

 

“It’s mind control!”

 

“Everyone! Everyone gather around the Village Chief!”

 

The mermaids who had been blocking the fishmen rushed to gather around the chief. They formed ranks and opened their mouths in unison.

 

They made sounds like singing. The waves spread out toward the sea.

 

Kiiiiing!

 

The waves of mind control and the waves of song collided. A shattering sound rang out as the mermaids staggered.

 

“Kruuuuk!”

 

“Uuuuk!”

 

The mermaids’ bodies swayed. They clutched their heads and dry heaved.

 

But their minds weren’t controlled. Joy filled the eyes of the mermaids as their dizziness subsided.

 

“We, we endured it!”

 

“We did it!”

 

[Ku, kueo?]

 

The Kraken was shocked. How! How could mere mermaids resist its mind control!

 

And Manbyeonggi was equally surprised. He muttered as if in wonder.

 

[I heard about it beforehand, but it was really possible.]

 

The Kraken’s mind control worked by spreading waves close to ultrasonic frequencies to shake the brain.

 

In other words, it was possible to defend by creating harmony and producing sound waves.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had given instructions to the mermaids beforehand, telling them how to respond. That had succeeded.

 

“If it were at the sub-adult level, it would have easily crushed them, but it’s only at the juvenile stage at best. Its divine authority isn’t perfect yet, so it’s not difficult.”

 

[Easy to say. That’s just theoretical talk. Without experience, you can’t know how it actually works.]

 

Manbyeonggi muttered as if incredulous.

 

[How on earth did you find out these facts?]

 

The Kraken was a monster that only appeared in legends. Even Manbyeonggi, who had traveled the universe as a Transcendent, had only seen one a couple of times—it was that rare. As a creature that lived in the depths of the sea, it wasn’t easy to encounter.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok perfectly knew how to respond to and counter the Kraken.

 

[It’s like he’s faced them multiple times before.]

 

Manbyeonggi’s guess was correct.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had faced adult Krakens before.

 

And not just once, but multiple times.

 

‘It’s not even an adult, just an inexperienced juvenile.’

 

Breaking through wasn’t difficult. Instead of answering, Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

 

[Kuuuuuu!]

 

When the mind control didn’t work as intended, the Kraken thrashed about frantically. Naturally, such emotionally-driven attacks had no effect on Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Its eight legs became covered in wounds as if they had been stabbed countless times by needles.

 

[…Kuuuuuuu!]

 

And finally, as if making one last decision, the Kraken let out a violent roar.

 

It was like a command.

 

And before long, the one who heard that command appeared.

 

[Buooooo!]

 

A whale twice the size of a sperm whale. Guardian of the Great Ocean. Alpram.

 

That being, under the Kraken’s mind control, now charged toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue and dodged. Alpram and the eight legs simultaneously targeted Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Kuuuu!]

 

[Buo! Buooo!]

 

If Alpram and the Kraken attacked simultaneously, even he would find it difficult to dodge everything.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok made an immediate decision. He would use Alpram against them instead.

 

[Instant Acceleration.]

 

His body accelerated. The sudden acceleration disrupted the coordination between Alpram and the Kraken. Kang Jun-hyeok threw his spear.

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

[Kuu!]

 

The Kraken, having already suffered greatly from Spear Throwing, immediately moved its legs to block.

 

But that action itself was exactly what Kang Jun-hyeok was aiming for.

 

[Laser Rifle Activation.]

 

The laser rifle that had somehow appeared in his hand fired toward the Kraken’s eye.

 

Kiiiiing!

 

[Kuu! Kuuuuuu!]

 

The Kraken managed to close its eye in time, but its eyelid was hit directly by the beam. Though temporary, it couldn’t open its eye properly.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t miss that opportunity and immediately charged toward the Kraken. Alpram cried out and followed after Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Buoooo!]

 

A juvenile Kraken’s control ability wasn’t that exceptional.

 

An adult could control others like perfect limbs, but at this stage, it could only give simple commands like a person driving a car.

 

And currently, the driver—the Kraken—had lost its sight.

 

[Buo! Buooo!]

 

[Kuu?]

 

The Kraken, belatedly opening its eye, saw it.

 

The fact that Alpram, guardian of the Great Ocean, had charged right up to its nose following Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Ku, ku…]

 

The Kraken tried to urgently give a command to stop, but it was already too late.

 

[Crack Movement.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moves through the crevices of the deep sea. Alpram rams straight into the Kraken’s body with a headbutt.

 

Kuuuuuuung!

 

The ocean floor trembles greatly. The fishmen and mermaids lose their balance and get swept away by the waves from the collision of the giant beings.

 

[Ku, kueoeoeo…]

 

The Kraken sways as if dizzy from the powerful impact. Alpram floated up upside down as if knocked unconscious.

 

“Sleep for a while.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok spoke quietly to Alpram and drew his spear.

 

[Thrust.]

 

Puuuk.

 

The spear pierced deep into the swaying Kraken’s eyeball.
