All Master of 100 Floors Episode 118
Special Event, Endurance (3)
Tremendous power bursts forth. Space opens instantly and the charging enemies disappear.
Though he succeeded in escaping the crisis, Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression wasn’t good.
‘The internal energy consumption is too great.’
Enemies appear infinitely. If he wastes more power than necessary, he’ll be outnumbered.
He must not waste power unnecessarily.
With balance, he uses only the minimum internal energy needed to break through the situation.
“Huuuu…”
He exhales deeply. Internal energy moves delicately through his body.
A spear thrusts toward his head. He twists his neck to dodge and lightly strikes the skeleton’s neck. Though it was a small force, it hit a vital point and the skeleton’s body crumbles.
Buuuung!
A great sword strikes down. He moves his finger. Lightly touching the side of the blade, he deflects it. Using that momentum, he strikes the knight’s chest.
Jjeoeoong!
The knight’s armor crumples as if hit by a cannonball. In that process, Kang Jun-hyeok’s power is barely consumed.
Kagagagagagak!
Attacks pour in. Swords and great swords. And fireballs. He deflects the rushing attacks like a boulder in the middle of a flowing river.
[Hooh.]
Manbyeonggi, who was watching, expressed admiration.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s movements right now had reached a level above what they had been until now.
“Huuuuu.”
He exhales long and deeply. He further optimizes and conserves his internal energy. As a result, he succeeds in enduring without major injuries amidst the pouring attacks.
[50:00]
It became 50 minutes.
At the same time, cavalry on horseback appeared.
[Hihihihing!]
A knight riding a skeleton horse charges roughly with a spear raised. Kang Jun-hyeok raises his shield to block.
Kaaaaaang!
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body slides backward. He frowns.
‘The last one is cavalry. Strong.’
The force accelerated by riding the horse was enough to push Kang Jun-hyeok back.
Ttadadak!
Purple skeletons. Soldiers raise their swords to occupy the space.
Peoeoeoong!
Mage skeletons conjure fireballs to cover the sky.
Buuung!
Knight skeletons swing their great swords, pressuring Kang Jun-hyeok.
[Hihihing!]
And the cavalry skeletons try to thrust their spears for the finishing blow.
Clang! Clangclangclang!
He blocks, deflects, and redirects them. But it’s dizzying. Physical abilities. And he can’t respond with internal energy. He begins to allow attacks one by one.
Kang Jun-hyeok glances at the timer.
[50:54]
The Quest’s objective is to endure for one hour.
About 9 minutes remain.
There will be no further reinforcements.
So now, he uses the card he had been saving.
[Stealth.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body disappeared. When his body reappeared, it was right next to the mage skeletons.
Kwajijik!
The mage skeletons’ bodies are extremely weak. Just swinging the great sword widely shatters dozens of them at once.
Buuung!
A knight aims for Kang Jun-hyeok’s head. He kicks off the floor and jumps to evade. A cavalryman tries to pierce his airborne body with a spear.
[Air Jump.]
He kicks off the air to evade. He grabs the cavalryman’s head and throws him off the horse.
[Spear Throwing.]
Paaaaak!
The spear shatters the head of a soldier aiming at the falling Kang Jun-hyeok.
Kang Jun-hyeok lands on the floor and immediately shakes his foot.
[Earth Shake.]
Kuuung!
The ground violently trembles. The skeletons’ bodies momentarily stagger. In that gap, Kang Jun-hyeok instantly adjusts his stance and attacks.
Cagagagak!
The skeletons’ heads fly off all at once.
He succeeded in shaking the surrounding ground with his skill, but the distant skeletons were unaffected. Fireballs covering the sky poured down.
Kang Jun-hyeok held the great sword in one hand and pulled out an orb with the other. A ruby popped out from the orb and was thrown toward the sky. The magic formula contained within activated.
Peoeoeoeng!
Crimson flames rise up and devour the fire. They fly straight and strike the mages. With a massive explosion, dozens of mages become fragments.
Kwajik.
He instantly draws a dagger and destroys the soldiers who entered his range. He then switches to a spear and pierces through charging cavalry.
Cagagagak!
Amidst the relentless attacks, Kang Jun-hyeok was responding.
Manbyeonggi, who had been watching, muttered.
[Remarkable.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s utilization of skills. His understanding of the Tower’s structure. His prediction and concentration to achieve objectives. That was certainly something special. Even compared to himself, it would definitely be superior.
But that was only his ability as a Player.
Manbyeonggi acknowledged Kang Jun-hyeok as a Player, but didn’t highly evaluate him in other aspects.
But that assessment was now crumbling.
[I never knew you could respond this perfectly.]
A many-against-one battle. The enemy composition consisted of soldiers. And knights, mages, and cavalry. Various groups united as one, targeting Kang Jun-hyeok.
This was a chaotic battle close to war.
No matter how skilled a master might be, they could die helplessly in war. In fact, Manbyeonggi had seen quite a few first-rate masters who were deployed to battlefields under imperial palace orders, only to die from blind swords and arrows.
But Kang Jun-hyeok was different.
He was handling all the cards he possessed at the right moments, responding to the chaotic battle.
His movements showed perfect understanding of how to respond in such situations, how to fight to lead things favorably for himself.
[This is.]
It was impossible to achieve through talent or innate ability alone.
Experience.
These were movements that only someone who had experienced thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of wars could make—only someone who had accumulated such experience.
[I clearly understood Earth to be a peaceful world. Where on earth did he accumulate such experience?]
Manbyeonggi muttered as if puzzled. Even while doing so, the battle continued.
Clang clang clang!
His stance crumbled while responding to the rushing attacks. The cavalry targeted that opening. He couldn’t put strength into blocking the thrust spear. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly judged and thrust his great sword forward.
[Impact.]
The moment the great sword and spear touched, he activated the skill.
A powerful impact struck the knight, flipping his body over.
[Charge.]
Kwaaaaang!
He pushed through the opening created with his body, opening up space. He took out the orb again and grasped a diamond. He threw it straight toward the floor.
Zzzzzzzing!
Intense physical force waves covered the ground. The skeletons were pushed back in a line. He exhaled and inhaled deeply, regulating his breathing.
Skills with long cooldowns.
And gems that were consumed.
Once used, these were precious cards that couldn’t be used again in battle. He had endured without using them until now, holding out as much as possible. It was time to enjoy the reward for that patience.
[55:43]
About 4 minutes remained. The skeletons’ movements became even more precise. Like a single living being, they created a perfect encirclement, targeting Kang Jun-hyeok without a single gap.
[Spear Throwing.]
The thrown spear shattered the head of a charging knight. He used repulsion to push away his surroundings. Cracks appeared in the perfect encirclement, and he didn’t miss that opening, smashing the area around him.
[Crack Movement.]
[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]
He moved behind the mages and unleashed sword qi. After enduring like this, it reached 59 minutes.
[Pixie’s Wings.]
Wings sprouted from Kang Jun-hyeok’s back as his body rose into the sky.
The skeletons looked up at Kang Jun-hyeok blankly, like dogs that had lost the chicken they were chasing. The mages eagerly threw fireballs, but he lightly moved his body to evade them.
And finally.
[60:00]
One hour was reached.
The skeletons collapse in a heap. Kang Jun-hyeok, who landed on the ground, catches his breath.
“That wasn’t easy.”
Endure relentless attacks for one hour. While his systematic stamina was restored to the maximum through Royal Blood’s power, his physical stamina was considerably depleted.
His internal energy was nearly depleted and he had used almost all his skills. If he had made even a small mistake, it would have been quite dangerous.
But it wasn’t that difficult. Even if it had continued, he probably could have endured about ten more minutes.
“Phew.”
Kang Jun-hyeok stretched. Since he had cleared it smoothly, now he just needed to receive his reward. Kang Jun-hyeok waited to return to Earth.
But no matter how long he waited, he didn’t move to Earth.
“Why isn’t it ending?”
It was the moment when puzzlement crossed Kang Jun-hyeok’s face.
Clatter.
A short distance from Kang Jun-hyeok.
From atop the pile of skeletons, one being rose.
A skull covered entirely in a black robe rose into the air. It held a black scythe in one hand, and its eye sockets glowed with an ashen light.
It was a Grim Reaper. Eldyria and Manbyeonggi were startled.
[…Wait a moment.]
[Hm?]
The Grim Reaper looks at Kang Jun-hyeok.
Chill.
The moment their gazes meet, goosebumps rise. Kang Jun-hyeok’s intuition warns him.
That thing could kill him right now.
It possessed such a level that it could destroy the world with just a light exhale.
[60:01]
The timer begins flowing again.
The Grim Reaper raises its scythe.
Whooom.
The Grim Reaper’s body moves. As if space compressed, it arrives beside Kang Jun-hyeok. The scythe cuts toward his neck.
That movement appeared very slow.
But that wasn’t because it was actually slow. His senses, placed at the gap between life and death, had expanded infinitely, stretching time out long.
He couldn’t dodge it. He couldn’t block it. He couldn’t deflect it.
Death.
[Crack Movement.]
Just before the scythe cut his neck, his body leaped through space.
[60:02]
The time it took to get there was only 1 second.
He succeeded in getting as far away as possible from its sight, but there was no time to catch his breath. Before he could even blink, the Grim Reaper had arrived beside him. An orb appeared in Kang Jun-hyeok’s hand.
He took out all the gems stored inside except for the ruby he kept hidden deep within.
An intense explosion shook the world. Kang Jun-hyeok was pushed back as if bouncing away.
But there wasn’t a single scratch on the Grim Reaper’s body.
[60:03]
Kang Jun-hyeok raises his hand.
[Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear.]
The God of Jealousy. The Divine Authority that Zelesi had given him.
The more the opponent’s rank and power surpass his own, the more its ability increases.
A spear of bizarre form appears and pierces through the Grim Reaper.
Kwaaaaang!
An intense force erupted as if a massive bomb had exploded. The shockwave alone was enough to push back Kang Jun-hyeok’s body. Indeed, this time it couldn’t be ignored as the Grim Reaper’s body shook.
Even so, there wasn’t a single wound.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes turn red.
[60:04]
[True Ancestor Awakening.]
The power of the great True Ancestor dwells within Kang Jun-hyeok. He swings streams of blood that rise in torrents at the Grim Reaper.
The scythe moves lightly.
The blood streams burst and Kang Jun-hyeok’s body explodes in all directions.
If not for the System’s protection, it would have been power enough to literally dismember him.
[60:05]
“Cough!”
But he doesn’t die. He gathers blood to defend as much as possible and attacks again. The scythe swings lightly.
Kwadeudeuk.
His chest is pierced through.
[Grace of Compassion.]
He extends his staggering hand. He hurls blood trying to burst the Grim Reaper’s head.
Kang Jun-hyeok clenches his fist.
Kwaaaaang!
An intense explosion of blood.
The Grim Reaper’s body shakes slightly.
But that’s all.
The scythe digs into Kang Jun-hyeok’s heart. Death comes for him.
[Health 1/990]
At that moment, the Grim Reaper disappears.
Kang Jun-hyeok, left alone in the ruined world, blurted out.
“What?”
[60:06]
The timer stopped. Soon, a being appears.
“Yaho! Hello!”
A girl with long black hair. The Administrator was looking at him with a bright smile.
“You’ve reached the end of the special event! I knew you could do it! Congratulations on clearing it!”
