All Master of 100 Floors Episode 121

 

22nd Floor. Slime Bugs (2)

 

The first possibility.

 

Push through everything with force.

 

That was impossible. No matter how hard he tried, a city size was the limit. He didn’t know how big the planet was, but no matter how small, it couldn’t be compared to a mere city.

 

Above all, there was a time limit of one week.

 

In other words, pushing through with force wasn’t an option from the start.

 

Then what else was there? Kang Jun-hyeok recalled his memories.

 

‘Ant World. Brutalcain.’

 

The Quest there was to kill all the ants.

 

A physically impossible Quest. Kang Jun-hyeok had solved it by finding the queen.

 

‘A queen. Or something similar to that.’

 

There was a possibility that such a thing existed.

 

Then there was the next problem. How to find such an existence.

 

In Ant World, he had found the answer through the ants’ habits and behavior.

 

But this time the opponent was slime bugs.

 

They weren’t beings from this universe.

 

Unlike the ants, he couldn’t read their behavioral principles or structure. Kang Jun-hyeok stared blankly at the slime bugs, and Manbyeonggi quietly watched such Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

‘How will you solve this.’

 

Manbyeonggi knew the strategy for dealing with slime bugs. It was natural since they had dealt with them sickeningly during the Great War.

 

But he had no intention of telling Kang Jun-hyeok about it.

 

This Quest was something Kang Jun-hyeok, not he, had to solve.

 

Whether Eldyria felt the same way, she too kept her mouth shut.

 

‘It would be difficult to figure out in just one week, though it might be possible with enough time.’

 

How would Kang Jun-hyeok overcome this obstacle? Manbyeonggi watched with anticipation.

 

And Kang Jun-hyeok finally took action.

 

But that action was completely different from Manbyeonggi’s expectations.

 

Thud.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok sat down on the spot. His posture with crossed legs looked like he had given up. Manbyeonggi was flustered.

 

[Have you given up?]

 

“As if.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the writhing slime bugs with quietly sunken eyes.

 

* * *

 

The opponent was slime bugs.

 

Invaders not born from the universe.

 

Unlike the ants, he couldn’t find the answer by understanding and analyzing their behavior.

 

But if it’s him now, it’s possible.

 

Squelch.

 

The slimes squelch and move. Kang Jun-hyeok watches their strange movements with piercing eyes.

 

He climbed the Tower.

 

In that process, he gained many powers and abilities that transcended cognition.

 

One of them was Observation.

 

[Passive Skill: Observation]

 

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

 

[Proficiency: B]

 

[The power to observe all things and find answers. Not just answers, but reasons, processes, and even the principles of how they work. You can grasp everything. You can see the essence of things.]

 

A skill gifted by the Tower Master. Like the slime bugs, it doesn’t follow the laws of the universe.

 

His Observation proficiency is B.

 

It allows him to observe all things and find answers.

 

Even if they are beings not born in this universe.

 

He directs his gaze. He observes each and every action. He tries to understand the incomprehensible.

 

Skills are things he has built up.

 

They were his power.

 

They were his abilities.

 

They helped him reach higher places.

 

And finally.

 

What he had built up finds the answer.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok rose from his position and tore off some slime. The separated slime wriggled in his hand before going limp.

 

‘It’s not a group.’

 

The slimes grow larger as they devour matter. In that process, the severed slime dies off. As if it’s not receiving energy supply.

 

‘This is one organism.’

 

They weren’t bugs.

 

It was one bug.

 

It was devouring the planet, scattering slime, and growing its body.

 

In other words, if you follow these slimes, the main body exists.

 

[Your Observation proficiency has increased.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok smiles. At his joyful smile, Manbyeonggi asks.

 

[Did you find the answer?]

 

“For now.”

 

The slimes are receiving energy from the main body. Then where is that direction?

 

He looks at the slime. Observation activates once again.

 

Having grasped the location, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately kicks off.

 

[Crack Movement.]

 

Swoosh.

 

His body moves to the edge of his vision. He kicks off the ground again.

 

He had grasped the direction but didn’t know how far the distance was. With a time limit of one week, there was no time to rest.

 

Tearing through the clinging slime, he advances without stopping. When the cooldown for Crack Movement resets, he activates it again.

 

And after running for a full day like that.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was able to encounter it.

 

Something writhing and undulating, like a swampland.

 

“Found it.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok bared his teeth.

 

* * *

 

[You found it well.]

 

[How strange indeed.]

 

Both Manbyeonggi and Eldyria muttered as if dumbfounded.

 

The slime creature.

 

A heterogeneous and twisted existence. It couldn’t be understood by the universe’s common sense and laws. Only after throwing oneself into the slime and going through the extensive work of purifying the planet could one barely find the main body.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok found the main body just by observing.

 

[Is that the ability given to Players?]

 

The absolute Divine Authority bestowed by the Tower Master. The power to find answers even to the heterogeneous and twisted.

 

That was precisely Skills.

 

Writhe.

 

The slime creature looked at Kang Jun-hyeok. More precisely, it couldn’t be expressed as looking. The slime creature didn’t have organs like eyes.

 

The slime creature sensed Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

The main body begins to writhe and move. The slimes rise up and attack Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Thud.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground. The slimes surge like waves, sweeping in all directions. He evades them all and approaches the slime creature.

 

He draws his great sword. He strikes down as if splitting the earth.

 

Kuuuung!

 

With a strong impact, the slimes scatter in all directions.

 

The attack succeeded, but Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.

 

‘It’s deep.’

 

The swampland-like appearance was closer to a membrane protecting the slime creature. The main body existed in the deepest part of that swampland.

 

But the swampland was quite deep. One or two attacks could never reach the main body.

 

Another problem was that even when attacking the swampland, it would absorb surrounding slime to recover.

 

Then what was the strategy? He observes the swampland. Soon the answer enters Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind.

 

The swampland wasn’t in a stable state. It writhed, repeatedly contracting and expanding. In that process, gaps were forming.

 

He aims for the gaps.

 

And before it can repair itself, he presses down with strong force.

 

[Pixie’s Wings.]

 

Fairy Wings spread across Kang Jun-hyeok’s back. His body soars through the sky.

 

Gurgle.

 

Streams of slime rise up, targeting Kang Jun-hyeok. If he gets swallowed, even he would have difficulty escaping. But their speed is slow. He moves his wings quickly, weaving between the slimes.

 

Guurgle.

 

Judging that it can’t catch Kang Jun-hyeok this way, more slime rises up. In the process, deep cracks form in the swampland.

 

A gap lasting barely an instant. It would disappear in less than a second.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t miss that gap.

 

[One-Point Pierce.]

 

He falls at a speed that transcends sound. With a sonic boom, his spear pierces through the gap.

 

Kuuuuuuung!

 

A thunderous roar echoes. Like a meteorite falling into the sea, the swampland scatters in all directions.

 

Power that creates a phenomenon like a natural disaster. That is precisely an Advanced Skill.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body instantly reaches the depths of the swampland.

 

But it’s still not enough. He can’t reach the main body. Kang Jun-hyeok puts strength into the hand holding his spear.

 

[Charge.]

 

[Thrust.]

 

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

 

Each time a skill activates, the swampland visibly caves in. The slime worm doesn’t stay still either. It somehow moves its body, trying to crush and pulverize Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Repulsion.]

 

[Earth Shake.]

 

He pushes back that pressure using skills as well. At the end of his advance, Kang Jun-hyeok could see the slime worm’s main body.

 

Something extremely bizarre, something that couldn’t even be called matter. But it definitely had the form of a worm.

 

Squirm.

 

Perhaps feeling urgent now that its main body is exposed, the slime worm shakes its body. It covers everything with slime to bury Kang Jun-hyeok alive.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes turn red.

 

[True Ancestor Awakening.]

 

Blood rises up. It becomes blades that sweep in all directions. The slimes that were trying to crush him are cut away and pushed back.

 

The things he had built up while climbing the Tower.

 

His abilities. His power.

 

All of it manifests.

 

Chwaaaaak!

 

The Blood Stream that blew away the slimes gathers in one place. Kang Jun-hyeok extends his hand. The blood that stretched out in streams grabs hold of the slime worm.

 

[——!]

 

Perhaps sensing danger, the slime worm lets out an intense cry. A powerful attack that shakes the listener’s brain. Momentarily, the mind becomes paralyzed and thoughts stop.

 

“It doesn’t work.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok bared his teeth. He had immunity skills against Mental Attack. He pulls his hand back. With a tearing sound, the slime worm is dragged over.

 

[–!]

 

“Noisy.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok clenches his fist. Power flows into the Blood Stream wrapped around the slime worm. Tearing sounds begin to echo.

 

And finally.

 

Swoooosh!

 

The slime monsters are torn apart in all directions.

 

The slimes tremble violently before losing their strength and drooping down. They gradually begin to oxidize and disappear. The things that had defiled and stained the entire planet slowly vanish.

 

“Done.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok dusted off his hands.

 

[Level Up.]

 

[Strength + 1]

 

[Speed + 2]

 

[Achievement + 1]

 

[Observation proficiency has increased.]

 

[One-Point Pierce proficiency has increased.]

 

[True Ancestor Awakening’s…]

 

Eldyria lets out a hollow laugh.

 

[Remarkably easy.]

 

The way to deal with slime monsters was to turn the entire planet upside down to find the main body.

 

That was the only method.

 

Even Transcendents like Eldyria and Manbyeonggi had no choice but to use that method. But Kang Jun-hyeok found the location of the main body just by quietly observing and dealt with it in an instant.

 

‘This is the power that the Master of the Universe bestowed upon the Players.’

 

It was truly astonishing.

 

And because of that, a question arose in Eldyria’s mind.

 

‘The Tower’s skills work even on the Victors.’

 

Even against those who owned the current universe after winning the battle against them, Players could deal effective damage.

 

Eldyria couldn’t understand it.

 

‘Why did the Master of the Universe, who is a Victor, grant such power to the Players?’

 

Before that question could even finish, the floor ended.
