All Master of 100 Floors Episode 108

 

19th Floor. Magic World (3)

 

Golems appear. Strong and powerful. Magical beings that cannot be opposed without magic.

 

Against such creatures, Kang Jun-hyeok lightly throws a punch.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

A hole forms in the golem’s chest. Its limbs shatter and debris scatters.

 

Uuuuung!

 

One golem roughly brings down both arms. Power that could even crush steel plates. But Kang Jun-hyeok lightly reaches out and catches them.

 

“Hmm. Is this all?”

 

An ordinary Player would have quite a hard time catching even one.

 

In other words, just that level. He applies force to his hand. Cracks instantly spread through the arms and they break. He kicks it away just like that.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

“…Ah.”

 

“Uh, mm.”

 

Tia and Alfrein follow behind with dumbfounded faces. Alfrein mutters with a groan.

 

“…When you fought me, I thought you had enhanced yourself with strange magic, but that wasn’t it.”

 

The movements Kang Jun-hyeok showed in their sparring match were his pure abilities. He asked with a bitter smile.

 

“Where on earth did you find such a person?”

 

“I didn’t find him. He came to me. I think he’s someone the god of magic sent down to me.”

 

Tia answered half-jokingly, half-seriously.

 

The appearing golems could do nothing before Kang Jun-hyeok’s power and were destroyed. Thanks to this, Alfrein, who had nothing to do, began to understand the structure of the tomb.

 

“Magic is being dispersed.”

 

Alfrein muttered.

 

“One giant magic formula is carved into the tomb itself. All manifested magic gets sucked into the formula. …This is an Archmage from a thousand years ago. Impressive.”

 

To Alfrein who was letting out exclamations, Kang Jun-hyeok asked.

 

“Could you dispel this magic formula?”

 

“No. It’s impossible.”

 

Alfrein answered immediately.

 

“This magic formula is extremely high-dimensional and complex. And vast. Any clumsy approach would only become food for the formula. I dare say that not only I, but even my master, the Magic Tower Master, would find it impossible.”

 

It was such a high-dimensional magic formula. Kang Jun-hyeok muttered.

 

“I see.”

 

The golems appearing here are not weak.

 

At least for Players who use magic, it would be impossible to pass through with their main abilities sealed.

 

It was impossible even for the Half-Human Half-Demon of his previous life.

 

That’s why he responded very simply.

 

He analyzed the tomb’s magic formula and forcibly dispelled it.

 

He had that level of talent.

 

‘He really is an impressive guy.’

 

Unfortunately, Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t possess such talent.

 

But it didn’t matter. He had his own methods.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The golem’s limbs shattered as they collided with his fist. Alfrein watched the scene with fascination.

 

“That strength of yours. It certainly exceeds human limits. But it’s not enhanced by magic. …When this is over, would it be alright if I conducted some research on your body?”

 

“As you wish.”

 

By then, he wouldn’t be here anyway.

 

“Oh! Thank you!”

 

Alfrein, who didn’t know him, lit up with excitement. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled silently.

 

After destroying the appearing golems and advancing forward, they arrived at the plaza.

 

A plaza carved with all sorts of magical diagrams.

 

Alfrein muttered.

 

“It’s a magic puzzle.”

 

“Unfortunately, I have no talent for magic, so I’ll leave it to you.”

 

He hadn’t brought Tia and Alfrein simply because he needed conversation partners. The tomb was guarded by golems and magic puzzles.

 

While he could smash golems to pieces, he couldn’t solve puzzles. He needed help for that.

 

Both Tia and Alfrein were naturally gifted with magic. Though not at the Half-Human Half-Demon’s level, it was sufficient for solving puzzles. After several minutes of struggling sounds, the puzzle was solved and a passage appeared.

 

Similar events repeated after that. When golems appeared, Kang Jun-hyeok defeated them, and Tia and Alfrein solved the puzzles. As they progressed smoothly, excitement spread across Tia’s face.

 

“At this rate, we might really conquer the Archmage’s tomb and obtain the relic! K-Kang Jun-hyeok. If that happens, you can take the relic! I-instead, could I just borrow your name to use together? Huh? Huh?”

 

“Of course. That’s fine.”

 

“Yahoo!”

 

Tia spread both arms in joy. Alfrein also slowly approached Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled silently at their behavior.

 

‘It won’t be that easy.’

 

A magical genius who appears once every ten thousand years. The Half-Human Half-Demon.

 

He had achieved a Perfect Clear on the 18th Floor.

 

‘But he couldn’t Perfect Clear the 19th Floor.’

 

Countless Players had challenged the 19th Floor, but failed due to the tomb’s magic formulas.

 

Only the Half-Human Half-Demon had succeeded in conquering the Archmage’s tomb.

 

But even he ultimately failed to achieve a Perfect Clear. Though many were curious, the Half-Human Half-Demon kept his mouth shut.

 

With an attitude as if he was ashamed, Kang Jun-hyeok hadn’t pressed him further either. Thanks to that, he didn’t know the exact details of the 19th Floor.

 

‘What could be there.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok moved forward with an expectant expression. Tia, who was following behind, muttered with curiosity.

 

“By the way, the tomb’s magic formulas and golems. And the magic puzzles and riddles. All of this is too intact. Is it possible for everything to be like this when it’s been a thousand years since the Archmage created this domain?”

 

“What do you mean by that?”

 

“A mage’s domain is similar to a person’s house. While you can build a house using materials, it eventually wears down and breaks over time, right? A mage’s domain is the same. No matter how powerful the magic, it eventually breaks down if not continuously maintained.”

 

A thousand years was an incredibly long time. No matter how great an Archmage’s domain, it was bound to deteriorate.

 

But this place showed no signs of wear whatsoever. Tia muttered.

 

“It’s as if… it’s been continuously maintained.”

 

“I agree as well. Since the Archmage has passed away, wouldn’t there be a homunculus or familiar that carries on his will?”

 

“That’s also a possibility.”

 

After advancing while making various speculations, they arrived at the end of the tomb.

 

[Excellent. You who have arrived at this place.]

 

[Solve the final puzzle and take the legacy.]

 

Finally, the end. Tia and Alfrein immediately began analyzing the puzzle and found the answer before long.

 

Click.

 

Rummmmmble!

 

“Oh!”

 

“Ohhh!”

 

Both exclaimed in unison.

 

As the puzzle fit together, the giant device began to operate. They had conquered the tomb left by the Archmage from a thousand years ago. Their bodies trembled with excitement and joy. They anticipated the brilliant legacy that would appear before them.

 

But contrary to their expectations, no such legacy appeared.

 

Rummmmmmmmmble!

 

The device’s operation doesn’t stop. Tia and Alfrein’s faces begin to harden.

 

“…Huh?”

 

“Something’s strange.”

 

Rummmmmble!

 

As if an earthquake had occurred, the tomb shook and began to collapse. If they stayed like this, they would be buried alive. Tia’s face turned pale.

 

“What is this!”

 

“Tsk.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue, grabbed both their shoulders, and kicked off. Along with screams, their bodies quickly moved outside the tomb.

 

[Instant Acceleration.]

 

Rumble! Rummmmmble!

 

Even though he moved while activating his skill, the speed at which the passage collapsed was faster. Finally, the ceiling crumbled and crashed down on them.

 

[Repulsion.]

 

Kwaaaaaang!

 

A tremendous repulsive force blew away the ceiling.

 

Using the space created this way, they barely managed to escape the tomb.

 

“Waaaaah!”

 

“Oof!”

 

Tia and Alfrein rolled through the bushes. But there was no time to groan in pain. The screams of mages could be heard from all directions.

 

“What is this!”

 

“Lord Alfrein? What on earth is happening!”

 

Rummmmmble!

 

The mountain shakes. From the aftermath, the magic barrier breaks and the ground trembles. The mages frantically escape.

 

Rummmble…

 

Finally, the commotion subsides. After a moment of silence. Light emerges.

 

Kiiiiing.

 

A brilliant blue light rises from the top of the mountain.

 

It slowly raises its body. The mages stand agape with their mouths open.

 

“Ah.”

 

Inside the mountain was a giant golem.

 

A smooth golem without a single gap. A blue gem was embedded in its forehead. It slowly raised its body. The mountain crumbled, revealing its form. It was the size of a small hill.

 

[Hahahaha!]

 

A cheerful laugh echoed from the golem.

 

[You have magnificently broken through my tomb! I don’t know how much time has passed since my death, but it seems worthy ones have finally appeared!]

 

An old man’s voice. And the meaning contained in those words.

 

Alfrein’s eyes widened.

 

“…Lord Weed?”

 

[I was always curious. Could a genius surpassing me appear after the birth of a genius like myself? How much has magic in this world evolved after my death? So I put my ego into a golem!]

 

“…What kind of insane talk is that!”

 

“Weren’t you supposed to leave us a legacy!”

 

[I thought if I said that, you foolish mages would search diligently! As expected, it was the right answer!]

 

The Archmage had deceived them. The mages were left speechless.

 

Weed chuckled.

 

[Don’t be too angry. It’s not entirely a lie. I will test you! I’ll give my legacy to the most outstanding one who passes the test magnificently!]

 

Kiiiiing!

 

The golem’s eyes glowed. Its massive feet began to move.

 

[Come now. Mages of this era. Prove your magic and talent to me!]

 

* * *

 

“So that’s how it was.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.

 

The tomb was a trap. What appeared afterward was a golem containing Archmage Weed’s ego. Defeating that golem seemed to be the condition for Perfect Clear.

 

The panicked mages belatedly came to their senses. It was an unexpected turn of events, but nothing had changed. In fact, it was better. If they proved themselves here, they might be able to claim the Archmage’s legacy for themselves.

 

“You’ll regret this! Lord Weed!”

 

“Everyone attack!”

 

Hundreds of mages simultaneously cast incantations. Flame. Water. Ice. Pure mana. Matter. Even gravity. Countless spells poured forth all at once.

 

The mages here were all close to School Leader level. They unleashed their magic in unison.

 

It was pure violence of power. A level of bombardment that even Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t survive.

 

[Laughable!]

 

But Weed laughed heartily. At the same time, the blue gem embedded in his forehead turned red.

 

Woong.

 

Simultaneously, all the flying spells stopped completely in mid-air. Alfrein’s eyes widened.

 

“…Reflection!”

 

[I’ll return them!]

 

The spells that had poured toward the golem returned toward their owners. Explosions erupted from all directions and screams rang out. In an instant, most of the mages were neutralized. Weed clicked his tongue.

 

[What? You couldn’t even anticipate a simple Reflection? How disappointing. How did guys like you even pass through my tomb?]

 

Just as he was wondering, Kang Jun-hyeok charged through the explosion.

 

Weed was momentarily flustered. He couldn’t sense any magic from the one rushing at him with speed beyond perception. The great sword in his hand collided with the golem’s leg.

 

Claaaaaang!

 

[Ugh!]

 

A thunderous sound erupted as the golem’s body swayed.
