All Master of 100 Floors Episode 117

 

Special Event, Endurance (2)

 

[Title: …How many minutes did everyone last?]

 

[Pham Min Deuk (33rd Floor): 17 minutes.]

 

[Kang San (18th Floor): …11 minutes.]

 

[Olivia Turner (51st Floor): 26 minutes…]

 

[Yu Jin-ha (54th Floor): 31 minutes.]

 

[Pham Min Deuk (33rd Floor): My goodness. 31 minutes. As expected of Mr. Yu Jin-ha.]

 

[Yu Jin-ha (54th Floor): No. I’m not that great. Rather, this is all I could manage. I did my best. So, so please just let it slide this once.]

 

[Pham Min Deuk (33rd Floor): Mr. Yu Jin-ha?]

 

[Yu Jin-ha (54th Floor): No. It’s nothing. Hmm.]

 

[Olivia Turner (51st Floor): …There’s no one below 8 minutes. I think we can assume the bottom 10% were around that level. A moment of silence for the victims.]

 

[Kang San (18th Floor): Even Mr. Yu Jin-ha’s limit was 31 minutes… Lasting one hour. Is this really possible?]

 

[Olivia Turner (51st Floor): There’s someone who proved it’s not impossible.]

 

[Kang San (18th Floor): Ah. Now that I think about it, you’re right. What method did they use?]

 

* * *

 

[Special Event Start!]

 

Along with the cheerful System Window, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body is transported.

 

There, Black Earth stretched out before him.

 

A blood-colored sky illuminated the world in red.

 

A flat world with nothing in it. One peculiarity was that no horizon was visible. The ground stretched beyond sight. It meant this was a Linear World, not a sphere.

 

And a timer floated in the sky above.

 

[00:14]

 

[Endure in This Place for as long as possible! That’s the purpose of this event! The time limit is one hour!]

 

[Special Event]

 

[Endure in this world for one hour!]

 

[Compensation: The longer you endure, the better reward you’ll receive!]

 

[Penalty: The bottom 10% will unfortunately be eliminated!]

 

[Then everyone, fighting!]

 

Enduring was the purpose of the Quest.

 

It meant something would attack them. As soon as the Quest window closed, something emerged from the ground with a rattling sound.

 

They were skeletons made of bone.

 

Dozens of skeletons that revealed themselves all rushed toward Kang Jun-hyeok at once.

 

‘Just like in my previous life.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok lightly lifted his great sword.

 

Crack-crack-crack.

 

The skeletons crumbled one after another.

 

Special event.

 

Monsters appeared and attacked the Player.

 

He had to endure that attack as much as possible.

 

Crack. Crack-crack.

 

He swung his great sword. With just light gestures, the skeletons broke and flew away like corn stalks.

 

The skeletons weren’t strong.

 

At most, they had the strength of the 2nd or 3rd Floor.

 

Their numbers were large, so they could be a threat to players in the 10s floors, but for him, they posed no problem at all. He could clear this even while sleeping.

 

The problem lay elsewhere.

 

It was the fact that the monsters grew stronger as time passed.

 

The appearing monsters gradually became stronger every 10 minutes. The rate of increase was quite steep, to the point where even top-tier players would have difficulty enduring it.

 

‘In my previous life, Olivia lasted 22 minutes, I think.’

 

Yu Jin-ha lasted at most 20 minutes.

 

The timer reached 10 minutes.

 

Clatter-clatter-clatter.

 

The white skeletons disappeared, and black skeletons appeared. A skeleton that rushed forward at high speed swung its sword.

 

Claaang!

 

The sound of collision spread. The impact traveled through the sword and was transmitted to Kang Jun-hyeok. He quickly repositioned his sword and stabbed at the neck.

 

Crack-crack-crack.

 

The skeleton that lost its head collapsed.

 

‘So this is the level.’

 

Considerable. Looking at them individually, they weren’t a big problem, but their numbers were far too many. With dozens rushing at once, it was understandable that Yu Jin-ha or Olivia couldn’t endure it.

 

But for Kang Jun-hyeok, it wasn’t a big problem.

 

Crack. Crack-crack-crack!

 

He was strong.

 

Even more so than Olivia or Yu Jin-ha.

 

Incomparably so.

 

Even when monsters of this level swarmed him, he didn’t feel much burden. He dodged, blocked, and destroyed their attacks.

 

The timer reached 20 minutes.

 

Clatter. Clatter-clatter.

 

The skeletons changed.

 

From black to purple.

 

Clatter.

 

A sword thrust forward. Kang Jun-hyeok defended.

 

Kaaaaang!

 

An intense collision sound spreads. A heavy sensation is transmitted to Kang Jun-hyeok. Having successfully defended, Kang Jun-hyeok counterattacks.

 

Kagagagak!

 

The sword blows off the skeleton’s head.

 

But the skeleton doesn’t fall. With its staggering body, it thrusts the sword again. Kang Jun-hyeok twists his body to dodge and has to stab his sword again for it to fall.

 

‘Can’t finish it in one strike.’

 

The purple skeleton is strong. Strong enough to be a threat to him.

 

Dozens of such creatures begin charging at him all at once.

 

Kagagagagak!

 

He swings his sword to deflect, block, and counterattack. Heavy sensations are felt consecutively. Swords aiming for blind spots relentlessly assault him.

 

Tadat.

 

He kicks off to create distance. The skeletons that instantly closed the gap attack in a flurry.

 

The skeletons were strong.

 

But they weren’t problematic to that extent.

 

They were strong, but he could handle this much sufficiently. The problem wasn’t that part.

 

‘I need to endure for one hour.’

 

The monsters get strengthened every 10 minutes. At 30 minutes and 40 minutes, there’s no telling what other monsters might appear.

 

He needs to manage his stamina.

 

“Huu.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breathing. His tense muscles relax.

 

Ttadak!

 

A skeleton that quickly approached thrusts its sword toward Kang Jun-hyeok’s head. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been watching calmly, slowly moves his sword.

 

Kagagak!

 

He deflects the skeleton’s attack. And he channels that force into his sword. He spins his body and strikes.

 

Jjeoeoeoeng!

 

With an intense roar, the skeleton’s body flies away.

 

‘Reverse Momentum Strengthening and Absorb Attack Break Momentum.’

 

Accept the opponent’s momentum and transform it into your own strength, absorb the opponent’s attack and break their momentum.

 

This was the first profound principle of the martial arts that Manbyeonggi had given him.

 

He barely uses Kang Jun-hyeok’s own strength. The attacks from the skeletons. He utilizes the force contained within them. The great martial arts are once again manifested in the world through Kang Jun-hyeok’s body. Eldyria mutters.

 

[Your martial arts. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them. I didn’t know you would pass them on to others.]

 

[That’s what I should say. Eldyria. For you to give True Blood to another, and to a human at that.]

 

[We’ve both changed. It’s not bad.]

 

Kagagagak!

 

He dodges and deflects attacks, channeling that force into counterattacks. He endures while barely consuming stamina and without using a single skill.

 

Kagak.

 

Of course, it’s not perfect. The number of enemies was large, and his proficiency in the martial arts wasn’t that high. Some of the attacks graze past Kang Jun-hyeok’s body.

 

Still, it didn’t matter. His passive skill, Royal Blood, absorbs the blood when defeating opponents to recover health.

 

Though the skeletons are nothing but bones, the skill itself activates without problem and recovers his consumed health.

 

And finally.

 

[30:00]

 

It reaches 30 minutes.

 

This time the skeletons didn’t change. Instead, a skeleton wearing a robe and holding a staff was added. Flames began to flicker at the tip of the staff.

 

Whoosh!

 

A fireball comes flying. Its power is considerable. Even with his Fire Resistance, he wouldn’t be able to avoid damage completely.

 

“Tsk.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off and draws his spear.

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

Thwack!

 

The spear flies and pierces through the mage’s head.

 

But there wasn’t just one mage. Though fewer than the sword-wielding skeletons, they slowly began to appear.

 

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

 

Fireballs begin flying one after another. Kang Jun-hyeok thinks quickly.

 

‘Using Spear Throwing to catch mages is wasteful.’

 

The spear shaft stores a total of three spears.

 

Mages kept appearing. Not only could he not handle them all, but it was a waste of skills.

 

Among his skills, which ones could he use without any cost?

 

The time it takes for monsters to strengthen is 10 minutes.

 

And among his skills, he identifies the types with cooldowns of 10 minutes or less.

 

‘Stealth, Thrust, Air Jump, Crack Movement, Block.’

 

Five in total.

 

These five could be used without any cost. Kang Jun-hyeok, having made a quick judgment, immediately moves his body.

 

Tap tap.

 

He heads toward the corner of the world as much as possible. The monsters follow in a rush. As their direction becomes concentrated, the liches scattered here and there begin to gather in one place.

 

And targeting that moment, he kicks off.

 

[Stealth.]

 

He hides his body. Perfectly. The skeletons lose track of Kang Jun-hyeok and hesitate for a moment. When he appeared again, it was right in front of where the mages had gathered.

 

Crash!

 

He grabs his great sword and swings it fiercely. The mages go flying and break apart.

 

Tap tap.

 

Having dealt with the mages, Kang Jun-hyeok flies toward the corner again. He strikes down the skeletons blocking his path and uses that force to accelerate further. Gathering the mages in one place like this, he activates his skill again.

 

[Crack Movement.]

 

Swoosh.

 

Moving behind the mages, he swings his great sword once more and sends them flying.

 

He repeats gathering the mages and using skills to send them flying. With quick judgment and action, he consumes nothing except physical stamina.

 

And finally.

 

[40:00]

 

It reaches 40 minutes.

 

What appeared this time was a knight wearing armor. Charging roughly with a great sword, it stabs toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Clang!

 

“Hmm.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body is pushed back by the intense impact. An attack filled with tremendous force. Its power is enough to push Kang Jun-hyeok back with sheer strength.

 

Clang clang clang!

 

Purple skeletons swarm forward, swinging their swords.

 

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

 

Mage skeletons raise their staffs and launch fireballs.

 

Whooooom!

 

And Knight skeletons charge roughly forward, thrusting their great swords.

 

Attacks continue relentlessly from all directions.

 

“Whew.”

 

He steadies his breathing. The dormant internal energy awakens and begins strengthening his body.

 

He grips his great sword as is. He swings it toward the charging knight.

 

Crunch.

 

The great sword crumbles. The knight’s body turns to powder beyond mere fragments.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The debris explodes outward like a shotgun blast. In an instant, the skeletons in the area are swept away in droves.

 

He steps forward and throws a punch. Purple bone fragments scatter in all directions. The entire area is cleared in an instant.
