All Master of 100 Floors Episode 126

 

23rd Floor. World of Faith (5)

 

The last remaining kingdom.

 

Black Sword Emblem Kingdom.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok headed toward the Royal Castle there. And he felt that it was different from before.

 

‘It’s quiet.’

 

The news that the Kings had died must have reached this place as well. It wouldn’t be difficult to guess that they were also targeting their King. He had thought the Guards would be moving around causing a commotion, but the Royal Castle was utterly quiet.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok concentrated his mind. Ears That Hear Many Things informed him of the sounds around the Royal Castle.

 

‘They’re hiding themselves.’

 

The sound of people’s breathing and metal clashing echoed. Those sounds were coming from outside the Royal Castle. The inside of the Royal Castle itself was utterly quiet.

 

‘It doesn’t feel like an encirclement.’

 

If anything, it was closer to observation.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok slowly entered the Royal Castle. It was utterly quiet without a single Guard or maid. He entered the King’s Bedroom without any interference.

 

And there, a man was waiting.

 

“You’ve come. Welcome.”

 

The man spoke confidently. Through his lightly worn clothing, solid muscles without an ounce of fat could be seen.

 

“I am the King of Scale Kingdom. My name is Albert Scale.”

 

“Nice to meet you. Did you dismiss all the people around you?”

 

“One must observe proper etiquette when welcoming a guest.”

 

Albert asked quietly.

 

“Did you kill the other Kings?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok nodded. Albert asked again.

 

“Is it related to that thing from the Demon Realm?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok nodded once more. Albert muttered as if he had expected as much.

 

“I thought so. If someone like you suddenly appeared, there could be no other explanation than that thing’s intervention. The reason you came here is to kill me, isn’t it.”

 

“You understand well. Then why did you dismiss the people around you?”

 

“Because I must achieve the end by myself.”

 

Albert slowly stood up. He put on Armor he had prepared in advance and grasped a Double-Edged Sword.

 

“If I were to surround and defeat you using my subjects, I couldn’t confidently say I possessed the proper qualifications to become a god, could I.”

 

“So you’re saying you’ll defeat me one-on-one.”

 

That was exactly why Albert had dismissed everyone outside the Royal Castle.

 

“But there’s one big problem, isn’t there?”

 

The problem that Albert ultimately had to defeat Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Albert bared his teeth.

 

“I’ll be honest. I’m grateful for your intervention. Because we couldn’t directly touch each other due to restrictions. I should have killed them all with my own hands, but I couldn’t.”

 

The Double-Edged Sword pointed sharply toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

“So I’m thankful. I’ll kill you! And take that thing’s Divine Power!”

 

Dark aura ripples and surges forth. Beast-like attacks come rushing in. Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The bedroom shatters. Kang Jun-hyeok breaks through the fragments and emerges outside. Albert roughly swings his sword.

 

Chwajajajaak!

 

Sword qi becomes a blade and shoots forth. Kang Jun-hyeok draws his sword.

 

Kaaang!

 

Sword qi and blade collide. The impact spreads in all directions, shattering the paintings and decorations hanging on the corridor walls.

 

Kuuuung!

 

Through the broken fragments, Albert’s sword aims for Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok raises his sword flat to block it.

 

Kaaaang!

 

Intense force is transmitted to Kang Jun-hyeok. His body slides backward. It meant he was being overpowered in strength.

 

‘He’s strong.’

 

His stats exceed 70. Even dozens of ordinary people gathered together couldn’t reach that level.

 

Yet Albert was pushing back Kang Jun-hyeok with pure force.

 

Physical enhancement through aura. That was the power it created.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

Ripple.

 

Albert advances roughly while swinging his sword. Tyrannical aura dwells in his beast-like sword strikes. It occupies space like scars, pressuring Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Kwaang!

 

The pushed-back Kang Jun-hyeok bursts outside the royal castle, breaking through the wall. Albert raises his sword.

 

“Tear him apart!”

 

The auras that left scars on the world rush toward Kang Jun-hyeok like beasts. Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breathing.

 

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

Sword qi explodes and collides with the rushing aura. Intense impact shakes the heavens. Kang Jun-hyeok frowns at the shock felt through his sword.

 

“Strong.”

 

[I thought this was a pathetically weak world, but there’s one useful fellow here.]

 

Manbyeonggi spoke as if interested.

 

Kwadeuk.

 

Albert appears through the broken wall. He charges in like a beast and brings down his double-edged sword. Kang Jun-hyeok responds.

 

Kaaang!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body falls. Albert burrows in like a wolf and slashes with his sword. The blade grazes Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder.

 

‘He’s really strong.’

 

His sword technique proficiency is C.

 

He possessed sword techniques that surpassed first-rate and reached the pinnacle. On top of that, he was handling Manbyeonggi’s martial arts, albeit crudely.

 

But even so, he was being pushed back.

 

It meant Albert was a swordsman beyond the pinnacle level.

 

His words weren’t empty boasts. If only the restrictions he mentioned didn’t exist, he alone could have killed all the kings and more.

 

He quickly made a judgment.

 

The sword technique that Kang Jun-hyeok possessed was ultimately given by the System. Against someone who had reached this level through pure training, he was bound to fall behind in proficiency and skill. With sword technique alone, there was no chance of victory.

 

But he was a Player.

 

He would use things other than sword technique. With that judgment, Kang Jun-hyeok pulled out an orb. A shining ruby gem burst forth.

 

Zzzeeeeoooong!

 

“Ugh!”

 

An explosion of mana struck Albert. Albert, who hastily protected his body with aura, had confusion in his eyes.

 

“You weren’t a swordsman!”

 

Swaaash!

 

A spear thrust through the explosion. Albert, who twisted his neck to dodge, was confused once again.

 

“You weren’t carrying a spear anywhere!”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s spear technique proficiency was D. It was at the level of first-class or higher. Sharp sounds of cutting through air consecutively aimed at Albert.

 

“Hup!”

 

Albert held his breath and burst his aura. He pushed back the attack and swept through the space.

 

[Air Jump.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok kicked off the air to dodge.

 

Albert gritted his teeth.

 

“How strange… beyond compare!”

 

Aura burst forth. Kang Jun-hyeok, who was being pushed back, steadied his posture with Balance. Albert laughed pleasantly.

 

“Yes! If you’re a being related to that, you should be able to do at least that much! I’ll kill you and take that power for myself!”

 

“Unfortunately, that’s impossible.”

 

This was an ability exclusive to Players.

 

Albert proudly raised his sword.

 

“I! Will be victorious!”

 

“That goes for me too.”

 

Kuuuuung!

 

Power clashed with power. Kang Jun-hyeok pressed Albert using various skills. Albert didn’t fall behind either, drawing out his aura and wielding his sword technique in response.

 

Kuuuuung!

 

With the collision, Kang Jun-hyeok was pushed backward.

 

‘Solid.’

 

The swung aura was carved into the world like scars. It occupied space as it was, becoming a shield. According to Albert’s will, it could also transform into an attack.

 

Offense and defense united, sword technique close to perfection.

 

He would break through that defense.

 

Tap.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok kicked off and charged forward. At the sudden charge, Albert was momentarily confused but immediately thrust his sword.

 

“Pierce and kill!”

 

The auras carved into the world all struck at once along with the sword strike.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok steadied his breathing. Along with his breath, he drew out the aura dwelling in his dantian.

 

He absorbed Albert’s attack with his wrist guard. Naturally, he couldn’t swallow it all. He wrapped and covered the remaining force using internal energy.

 

The first profound principle of Manbyeonggi.

 

Reverse Momentum Strengthening and Absorb Attack Break Momentum.

 

The power Albert unleashed transforms into Kang Jun-hyeok’s own. Albert hastily protects his body.

 

Zzzeeeeeong!

 

“Cough!”

 

Albert’s body was sent flying and crashed into the wall. His eyes were filled with shock.

 

‘What!’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had perfectly suppressed his power and made it his own.

 

It was sword technique from an extraordinary realm beyond his understanding. It was momentarily mesmerizing.

 

But he too was a swordsman who had reached mastery. He quickly protected his body. Kang Jun-hyeok flicked his finger.

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

Pababak!

 

Spears flew through the air. Albert swung his sword to form a defensive barrier with aura.

 

[Earth Shake.]

 

At that moment, the ground shook.

 

[Stealth.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s presence disappeared. Albert’s eyes widened.

 

‘He vanished…!’

 

[Instant Acceleration.]

 

[One-Point Pierce.]

 

A spear that transcended speed pierced through Albert’s shoulder. It broke through the wall and brought down a pillar of the Royal Castle.

 

“Grrraaah!”

 

“You dodged that too?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was genuinely impressed. He had definitely aimed for the heart, but the shoulder was pierced instead. Albert had reflexively twisted his body to evade at the moment the spear reached him.

 

Albert gritted his teeth and grabbed Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm. He tried to cut it off.

 

Scrape.

 

“…!”

 

But it wouldn’t cut.

 

A Player’s body doesn’t suffer injuries like that. Kang Jun-hyeok put away his spear and drew his great sword.

 

“Unfortunately, I have that kind of body.”

 

[Six Senses Exclusion.]

 

Albert’s senses momentarily disappeared. The great sword moved roughly, slaughtering his entire body and inflicting fatal wounds.

 

Thunk!

 

The great sword pierced through Albert’s chest. He coughed up blood.

 

“…Ha. Haha! You are an incomparably strange one. You’re strong!”

 

“You were strong too.”

 

Albert laughed cheerfully and shouted.

 

“It’s my defeat! And your victory!”

 

“Then I have one request.”

 

“A request?”

 

Albert made a puzzled expression. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

 

“The sword technique you use. It looked quite useful—can you hand it over?”

 

“….”

 

Albert made a dazed expression before letting out a hollow laugh.

 

“What a greedy madman! Fine. The defeated must submit to the victor. Go to the Royal Castle Underground Storage. It will be there.”

 

“Thanks.”

 

“Ah… How regrettable. You could have reached even higher realms….”

 

With those final words, Albert collapsed limply.

 

[Level Up.]

 

[Stamina + 20]

 

[Strength + 1]

 

[Speed + 1]

 

[Internal Energy + 1]

 

[ Divine Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

[ Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has…]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok entered the underground storage Albert had mentioned. After collecting the Sword Technique Manual and Mental Cultivation Manual from that place and coming back outside, Albert’s soldiers were surrounding him.

 

“…The King has passed away.”

 

“Ahhh….”

 

“How dare. How dare. Our King….”

 

Voices mixed with despair and rage echoed. Weapons clattered as killing intent emanated.

 

“Kill him!”

 

“Take revenge!”

 

[Unlike the King, they don’t seem inclined to accept this cleanly.]

 

“What should I do.”

 

There were too many to face them all.

 

More than anything, fatigue had accumulated considerably. The Quest should be finished too, so just as he was considering whether to retreat, light descended.

 

Despite the dark night, the world shone as bright as midday. Intense light appeared right in front of Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

“Huh, what?”

 

“…Ah?”

 

The eyes of the people who had been charging widened.

 

“You’ve come.”

 

Only Kang Jun-hyeok spoke calmly.

 

It smiled and lightly made contact with Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Hidden Quest cleared.]

 

[Reward will be given.]

 

Divine power settled into his body. Physical fatigue recovered instantly. At the same time, he gained a special power.

 

“…Ha.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been silent for a moment, let out a hollow laugh.

 

‘I’ve obtained this again.’

 

“K-kill him!”

 

“It’s sorcery! It’s sorcery!”

 

“Avenge the king!”

 

The soldiers ignored the miracle that had occurred with great effort and charged at him once again. The mages raised their staffs. Magic began pouring down endlessly.

 

Before that storm of power, Kang Jun-hyeok lightly raised his finger. Though it was an utterly ordinary movement, the soldiers instantly felt chills run down their spines. Light swirled around his fingertip.

 

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

 

And there was light.
