All Master of 100 Floors Episode 111
19th Floor. Magic World (6)
A brilliantly shining gem, like starlight itself.
This was the core that had been moving the golem.
‘Smaller than I thought.’
About the size of a fist. This small gem had operated a golem capable of pushing Kang Jun-hyeok to his limits.
Its value would be immeasurable. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled as he looked at the gem. The fallen Weed finally realized Kang Jun-hyeok’s true aim.
[You crazy bastard…]
His purpose hadn’t been to defeat him.
The core that moved the golem. That driving force. His purpose had been to obtain it without damage. Realizing this fact, Weed felt chills run down his spine.
He was by no means weak.
Absolute Reflection that deflected all attacks. On top of that, the golem itself had superior performance. Even this man would have had to risk his life to face him.
Yet, in such a situation, he moved not for victory but for the reward? Kang Jun-hyeok’s muttering gave certainty to that thought.
“I would have liked to get the Reflection Gem too, but that’s unfortunate.”
[…You.]
This isn’t human thinking.
No. This isn’t the thinking of a living being.
It’s something else entirely.
[What are you.]
What kind of life have you lived.
At that question, Kang Jun-hyeok smiled faintly.
“Don’t worry too much. It’s good for all of us.”
[What do you mean…]
“It’s not something you need to worry about. I don’t have time to explain either.”
Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged his shoulders. The golem that had lost its core began to gradually shut down.
“Farewell. Archmage. It was enjoyable.”
[…Haha. I thought a mage would decorate my final moments. Life is unpredictable indeed.]
With those final words, the golem’s head fell. It had completely stopped functioning.
[Level Up.]
[Level Up.]
[Health + 50]
[Strength + 2]
[Speed + 4]
[Internal Energy + 1]
[Mana + 3]
[Achievement + 2]
[Arcana Gem Magic proficiency has increased from D to C.]
[ Divine Technique proficiency has increased.]
[ Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has increased.]
[True Ancestor Awakening proficiency has increased.]
[Pixie’s Wings proficiency has…]
As his level rose, his skills’ proficiency increased in a continuous stream. There were so many that they filled his entire field of vision. Kang Jun-hyeok wore a pleased expression.
“…Is it over?”
When things quieted down, Tia, who had been standing far away, cautiously approached. She swallowed hard when she saw the gem in Kang Jun-hyeok’s hand.
“What is that?”
A fist-sized gem that brilliantly emitted various lights.
Just seeing it from afar, one could tell. The value contained within that gem was incomparable to anything else. Alfrein let out a groan.
“Is that the core that was moving the golem?…Magnificent. No. Such words are insufficient. I cannot judge its value.”
“You’ve worked hard.”
Kang Jun-hyeok pocketed the gem. A brilliant gem of immeasurable value. Though it was an act of claiming it as personal property, neither of the two pointed this out. Tia sat down as if her tension had been released.
“Really… we really won. Hiya.”
Gradually, groaning sounds could be heard as the unconscious mages began to regain consciousness. Kang Jun-hyeok said leisurely.
“Then let’s clean up.”
They supported and awakened the fallen people.
And they told them.
Archmage Weed. The golem that contained his ego.
That Kang Jun-hyeok had defeated it alone.
People couldn’t contain their amazement. No one doubted it. Because Alfrein, the Magic Tower Master’s direct disciple and a genius who appears once in a hundred years, had declared it staking his name.
Numerous commotions arose, and they began to be resolved one by one. The Magic Tower Master, who appeared late after finishing his work, expressed shock and admiration.
Their attention turned to Kang Jun-hyeok.
And next, it turned to the Arcana Gem Magic he was learning. Thanks to this, Tia was letting out happy screams.
“There are too many people wanting to become disciples! Sponsors have also increased like bamboo shoots after rain! It’s hard to even meet them all!”
Her value had been recognized. Even all the worn-out furniture had been replaced with luxury items. She was currently spending the happiest time of her life.
“This is all thanks to you! Kang Jun-hyeok! Thank you so much!”
She was genuinely grateful. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.
“It’s good for both of us. It’s fine.”
“Hehehe.”
Tia, who had been laughing, asked as if something had occurred to her.
“But what are you going to do with that gem?”
The brilliantly shining gem that had been moving as the golem’s core. She had also tried to research it, but it was too high-dimensional for her to understand.
“Even the Magic Tower Master seemed to have no clue. Where on earth did you get such a thing?”
“You don’t need to worry. There’s someone who can solve it.”
“R-really?”
Tia had a puzzled expression. Even the Magic Tower Master, the ruler of the Magic Tower, couldn’t analyze the gem. If he couldn’t do it, then no one in this world could. It was hard to readily understand his words that there was someone who could solve it.
But Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t lying. The one who could solve it wasn’t a being of this world.
“Anyway, it’s a good thing. My school will grow now.”
She clenched her fist tightly. She sprang up from her chair and approached Kang Jun-hyeok. She grinned and extended her hand.
“Please take care of me from now on.”
“…Yes.”
Kang Jun-hyeok took her hand.
At the same time, the world began to collapse.
[19th Floor Quest Clear.]
[Compensation will be determined based on your performance.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional compensation will be awarded.]
[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]
[4,662 Gold has been awarded.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Weapon: Magic Tower’s Chief Staff] acquired.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Shield: Magic Tower’s Chief Grimoire] acquired.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Eternal Gem] acquired.]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 19th Floor: 1 person.]
[You are alone!]
[Universe Announcement.]
[Please congratulate! Everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 19th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement that no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 7]
“So this is how it ends.”
Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, muttered. He had wanted to talk more with Tia, which was disappointing.
But the disappointment was brief. He began checking his rewards with a pleased expression.
[Passive Skill: Arcana Gem Magic]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: C]
[Magic that handles gems created by Tia Lilinetth as catalysts. There is virtually no mana consumption when using magic. Does not require talent for magic. By using gems as catalysts, you can amplify and handle the power contained within them to near perfection.]
The proficiency of Arcana Gem Magic had reached C.
Among the skills he possessed, the only skills that had reached C proficiency were basic skills like Sword Technique and Observation that he had acquired from the beginning.
In contrast, Arcana Gem was magic. It was an Intermediate passive skill, making it that much harder to raise proficiency. To reach C already was not just remarkable but an impossible speed.
However, it wasn’t without problems.
‘All the gems have been consumed.’
The reason he could rapidly increase his proficiency was because he had used over a hundred gems. He didn’t even have gems to use on the next floor right now.
‘I could ask for them, but it would probably be difficult.’
The gems he had obtained before were something they had acquired by giving their all, so it wouldn’t be easy.
He wouldn’t be able to handle Arcana Gem Magic at the level he had used on the 19th Floor. That part was quite regrettable.
‘Still, it’s not something that can’t be solved.’
Kang Jun-hyeok took out a brilliantly shining gem.
[Eternal Gem]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[A brilliantly shining Eternal Gem. A gem that Archmage Weed created with all his might in his later years to implement the Philosopher’s Stone. His efforts were not in vain as he was able to reach a fragment of it. The energy contained within is replenished even when consumed.]
“The Philosopher’s Stone.”
It was a nostalgic name.
The gem’s effect was energy close to infinite power. Though its grade was intermediate, it was probably quite close to advanced grade.
With this, he might be able to solve the problem. Kang Jun-hyeok put the gem away and continued his inspection.
[Magic Tower’s Chief Staff]
[Part: Weapon]
[Grade: Low Grade]
[Attack Power + 4]
[Magic Power + 35]
[The Magic Tower’s competition held once a year. A special staff given to the one who wins there.]
[Magic Tower’s Chief Grimoire]
[Part: Shield]
[Grade: Low Grade]
[Defense + 5]
[Magic Power + 20]
[The Magic Tower’s competition held once a year. A special grimoire given to the one who wins there.]
A Mage-Exclusive Staff. The performance was decent, but Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t a mage. He probably wouldn’t have much use for it.
The Perfect Player effect was Mana + 2. It wasn’t big, but it was an excellent effect.
This was about the extent of the rewards obtained from the 19th Floor. After thinking for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately moved.
“Blacksmith.”
Whoooosh.
A Hot Workshop opened up. Kang Jun-hyeok entered without delay.
* * *
Kang Jun-hyeok achieved a Perfect Clear on the 19th Floor.
That fact was announced through a notice.
On Earth, there wasn’t much of a reaction. The Perfect Player had achieved another Perfect Clear. It was amazing and wondrous, but it had now become routine.
But elsewhere, it was different.
The announcement of the Perfect Clear.
It wasn’t an announcement directed at Earth.
It was a universal announcement.
Earth wasn’t the only one climbing the Tower.
It was all beings in the universe who had been given the qualification.
Somewhere in the universe. There was a planet similar to Earth. But it wasn’t a blue planet. It was a planet dyed in red and black, like Hell itself.
In a small building on that planet, a woman spoke with a strange smile.
“A 19th Floor Perfect Clear has appeared. That’s probably the same bastard who’s been achieving Perfect Clears all along, right?”
“….”
In front of the woman sat a man. The man looked similar to a human on the surface. But he wasn’t human. He had serpentine pupils and dark red horns.
A being that was human yet not human.
A Half-Human Half-Demon.
The woman slowly approached the Half-Human Half-Demon.
“Hey. No matter how amazing someone is, didn’t you say that a 19th Floor Perfect Clear was structurally absolutely impossible? I believed what you said.”
The woman spoke quietly.
“Because you were the one and only 18th Floor Clear Player. Ah. I guess you’re not one and only anymore?”
“Shut up.”
The man replied irritably to her teasing words.
“Stop getting on my nerves and get lost.”
“Hey. It’s a joke. A joke. But this is interesting. You’re saying someone achieved the 19th Floor Perfect Clear that you said was impossible? And all the Perfect Clears up to now too. What kind of guy could it be?”
The woman hummed as she stepped outside the building. The eyes of the man left alone darkened.
“…19th Floor Perfect Clear.”
That was structurally impossible.
No matter how much of a monster someone was to have achieved Perfect Clear on every floor so far.
The man was certain of it.
Because he was a magical genius that appeared once every ten thousand years.
If it was impossible for someone like him, then who else could possibly do it.
But.
[Universal Announcement.]
[Please congratulate them! Everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 19th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement that no one has accomplished until now!]
The announcement that appeared before his eyes was clearly telling him that he was wrong. Hostility flashed in the man’s eyes.
“I don’t know who it is, but… how insufferably arrogant.”
If he ever met them later, he would crush them and show them the difference in their levels. The Half-Human Half-Demon made that vow.
