All Master of 100 Floors Episode 122

 

23rd Floor. World of Faith (1)

 

[Title: 23rd Floor seems like it can be cleared in many different ways.]

 

[How did everyone clear it? I cleared it by playing the role of a traveling merchant, buying and selling goods.]

 

[Choi Do-yoon (26th Floor): I just went around killing everything. Killed some guys who picked fights with me and it cleared.]

 

[Jung Ji-hoo (27th Floor): That’s damn brutal. I played the role of the king’s retainer. That’s how I cleared it.]

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, organized his rewards.

 

[Slime Monster Head]

 

[Part: Shield]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Defense + 30]

 

[Equipment Ability: Can absorb moderate amounts of attacks and energy. Cannot absorb attacks beyond the limit.]

 

[A shield made from a slime monster’s head. It retains the characteristic of staining all things.]

 

[Wrist: Slime Monster Body]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Strength + 2]

 

[Speed + 2]

 

[Defense + 7]

 

[Equipment Ability: Can absorb small amounts of attacks and energy. Cannot absorb attacks beyond the limit.]

 

[Wrist guards made from a slime monster’s body. It retains the characteristic of staining all things.]

 

“Oh ho.”

 

Both had equipment abilities that absorbed attacks and energy.

 

Ordinary shields would still transmit the impact even when blocking attacks. That’s why it was necessary to use skills and such to stabilize one’s stance.

 

But the shield he obtained this time could completely absorb that impact.

 

And the wrist guards also gained the same ability.

 

He could now block enemy attacks without even drawing his shield.

 

Though Kang Jun-hyeok with Manbyeonggi could draw and store equipment, the timing was considerably compromised in that process. Even with Ten Thousand Weapons Control, some loss was unavoidable.

 

In that sense, both pieces of equipment were extremely useful. Kang Jun-hyeok was satisfied, while Eldyria muttered as if dumbfounded.

 

[Slime monsters. Those things that stain and defile planets are given as equipment? Truly bizarre beyond measure.]

 

“The Tower is this kind of place. Whether we like it or not.”

 

Next, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie. Having received the memories, she also muttered with a reluctant tone.

 

[…The Master of the Universe has truly given you a strange power. Here. Take it.]

 

[200 Starlight.]

 

The starlight he currently possessed was now 930. If he gathered just a little more, he would be able to use it. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had left with Pixie, lightly warmed up his body.

 

22nd Floor.

 

There had been no particular problems in climbing the Tower up to this point.

 

Using the power he had gained, the knowledge he possessed, and the abilities he had built up, he was achieving Perfect Clears. There were occasional crises, but he had resolved them all. Far from having problems, he was only producing results.

 

And Manbyeonggi showed signs of dissatisfaction with that fact.

 

[How smooth.]

 

“Isn’t that good?”

 

[It may be good for you, but it’s not very satisfying for me.]

 

Manbyeonggi spoke as if complaining.

 

[You are not properly using my martial arts.]

 

“Really? I thought I was using them fairly well.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had resolved various crises using Manbyeonggi’s martial arts. But Manbyeonggi couldn’t be satisfied with just that level.

 

[What you handle is Reverse Momentum Strengthening and Absorb Attack Break Momentum. Merely the first Profound Principle. You cannot handle the remaining principles. Reaching the level of sword forms is impossibly distant.]

 

“Ah.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok realized what Manbyeonggi was dissatisfied with.

 

He had learned Manbyeonggi’s martial arts.

 

But his proficiency in them wasn’t much different from the beginning. Even though considerable time had passed, he remained at the first Profound Principle, so from Manbyeonggi’s perspective, it would be frustrating. Kang Jun-hyeok made an ambiguous expression.

 

“Even if you say that. The problem is that your martial arts are too difficult.”

 

He ultimately had no talent for martial arts.

 

Learning Manbyeonggi’s martial arts in the first place had only been possible because Manbyeonggi had directly intervened. Although his proficiency was gradually increasing with the System’s assistance, the level of the martial arts themselves was far too high.

 

‘Honestly speaking, it’s beyond my imagination.’

 

He hadn’t expected to still be stuck at the first Profound Principle. Even including his previous life, skills of this caliber could be counted on one hand.

 

[I seem more useful to this guy than you do.]

 

[Be quiet.]

 

Manbyeonggi grumbled at Eldyria’s words. Kang Jun-hyeok stroked his chin.

 

“It’s difficult with my personal abilities alone. I need a master.”

 

[You need some master when you have me?]

 

“You can’t teach me directly, can you? I need an opponent who can face me directly using martial arts.”

 

He needed an opponent who could fight using only Manbyeonggi’s martial arts, someone he could focus purely on martial arts with.

 

[That’s reasonable. But there doesn’t seem to be such a person.]

 

“That’s the problem.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had become too strong. Even if he used only martial arts, there was no one on Earth who could match him.

 

But it didn’t matter.

 

He could find an opponent in places other than Earth.

 

The Tower provided various environments.

 

Among them, there also existed worlds related to martial arts.

 

’27th Floor.’

 

If it was that place, training in martial arts would be possible. Having finished organizing his thoughts, Kang Jun-hyeok spoke.

 

“Just wait for now. An opportunity will come later.”

 

[Hmm.]

 

Manbyeonggi made a displeased sound but didn’t mention it any further.

 

He had cleared the 22nd Floor. Now next was the 23rd Floor.

 

What was there?

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who was searching his memory, made a sound.

 

“…Ah.”

 

[What’s wrong?]

 

“It’s nothing.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

‘I’ve come this far now.’

 

In his previous life, only about 20 floors had been Perfect Cleared.

 

And among those, about half were floors he had Perfect Cleared.

 

The 23rd Floor.

 

This place held great significance for him.

 

Because it was the first floor he had Perfect Cleared in his previous life.

 

At the end of it, he had obtained a very special skill and realized the value of Perfect Clear.

 

A Unique Skill.

 

Lost God’s Divine Radiance.

 

‘I need to prepare.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok continued training. And he went to find Kim Tae-yeon to obtain additional gems. They were low-grade gems, but he put them in the orb to enhance their purity.

 

And finally, he entered the 23rd Floor.

 

What he saw was a vast world.

 

A sun soaring high in the sky, and lush vegetation. Beyond that, mountain ranges were visible. A gentle breeze brushed past his cheeks and the sound of chirping insects echoed.

 

[23rd Floor Quest.]

 

[Leave your mark on the world.]

 

* * *

 

Leave your mark on the world.

 

That was the 23rd Floor Quest. It was an extremely comprehensive objective.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok walked leisurely.

 

[Nothing special seems to be here. Is it a remote planet?]

 

“Probably.”

 

‘I remember it was this way.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok walked while searching his memory. As he walked across the plains, a road finally came into view. And on the road, the sound of metal clashing rang out.

 

Found it. Kang Jun-hyeok walked toward the road with a nostalgic expression.

 

“Uaaaah!”

 

“Waaaah!”

 

A battle was taking place there.

 

Soldiers wearing armor embedded with the emblem of the Red Cross.

 

And soldiers wearing armor embedded with the emblem of a blue angel.

 

The two groups were entangled with each other, killing one another. Among them, they shouted.

 

“For the Great God. For Lord Ruktoshan!”

 

“Shut up! There is only one Great God! It is Lord Hareta!”

 

The soldiers were shouting the names of the gods they each served while killing each other. Eldyria muttered as if puzzled.

 

[Ruktoshan and Hareta? These are god names I’m hearing for the first time. Do you know them?]

 

[I don’t know either. Perhaps they are low-grade gods from the frontier.]

 

Both Transcendents were hearing these god names for the first time. And there was one more strange point.

 

[They claim to serve gods yet don’t use Divine Power.]

 

The soldiers weren’t using Divine Power at all, which was the ability of those who serve gods, and were killing each other using physical violence instead.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok watched without intervening. In the end, the Red Cross Soldiers were victorious. After finishing off every single wounded enemy, they raised their swords and shouted.

 

“Lord Ruktoshan! We have achieved victory!”

 

“Waaaaah!”

 

Worshipping their god over death. That sight was clearly one of fanaticism.

 

Belatedly, they noticed Kang Jun-hyeok’s presence.

 

“Who are you!”

 

“I am a Traveler.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly.

 

“I have something to ask you all, may I inquire?”

 

“…He doesn’t have Lord Ruktoshan’s emblem!”

 

“He serves a different god!”

 

“Die!”

 

Instead of answering, the soldiers drew their weapons. Murderous Killing Intent swept over Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

‘Of course.’

 

Fanaticism that couldn’t be reasoned with.

 

Even after returning to the past, their behavior hadn’t changed one bit. With a nostalgic feeling, Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword. The Red Cross Soldiers charged at him all at once.

 

“For Lord Ruktoshan!”

 

A blade aimed for Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck. Kang Jun-hyeok reached out and grabbed the blade.

 

Clang!

 

When he applied force with his fingers, the blade snapped with a crack.

 

The soldier’s eyes widened. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly swung his sword. Blood Water spurted from the soldier’s neck as he collapsed.

 

“You bastard!”

 

“How dare you oppose God’s soldiers!”

 

“You’re saying that after attacking first yourselves?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh. The soldiers rushed at Kang Jun-hyeok with bloodshot eyes.

 

What they were wearing was Chain Mail.

 

Chain Mail made of forged and linked chains was extremely sturdy. It had strong resistance against ordinary slashing attacks, so the correct answer to bring them down was to thrust with strong force.

 

However, Kang Jun-hyeok drew a diagonal line with his sword as if annoyed.

 

Riiiiip!

 

“Cough!”

 

“Gaaaah!”

 

The soldiers were cut down along with their chain mail. For him as a Player, ordinary armor meant nothing. In an instant, the soldiers collapsed in droves.

 

The soldiers were horrified.

 

“How dare you harm us who serve God!”

 

“Wh-what kind of bastard are you!”

 

“I told you I’m a traveler.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok lightly shook off his sword.

 

“Since you attacked first, you can’t complain even if you die.”

 

“You, you!”

 

“Didn’t you say you serve God? Won’t you use Divine Power?”

 

“Shut up!”

 

The soldiers gritted their teeth and charged.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok moved his body lightly. He extended his wrist guard toward the sword striking down.

 

Whooom.

 

“What, what!”

 

The soldier was shocked. Something strange happened. The sword that struck down stuck to his wrist guard. There was no repulsion of force whatsoever. It felt like touching the same poles of magnets.

 

“Argh! Arrgh!”

 

He desperately applied force, but nothing happened. Kang Jun-hyeok muttered as if understanding.

 

“So this is how it feels.”

 

He felt nothing either. It was like being absorbed into another dimension. This was exactly the Slime Creature’s Ability.

 

Having finished his confirmation, Kang Jun-hyeok kicked out. The soldier coughed up blood and crashed into a tree.

 

Crash!

 

It didn’t even take a minute for the soldiers to fall. They died crying out the name of their god. Now only one remained. He was backing away with a terrified face.

 

“Please spare me! Please spare me! I was wrong!”

 

The soldier cried out, tears and snot streaming down his face. Kang Jun-hyeok lightly struck his neck. The soldier collapsed with a thud.

 

[You’re not killing him?]

 

“I was thinking of keeping one alive.”

 

This is where it begins. Kang Jun-hyeok hummed as he dragged the unconscious soldier along.
