All Master of 100 Floors Episode 143

30th Floor. Desert of Death (2)

Generally, the total amount of divine power varies depending on how much favor one receives from a god.

There are cases where someone has divine power stats exceeding one hundred at level 1.

The Saintess from his previous life was exactly that kind of case.

But he was not a believer but a god’s agent.

As an agent, his divine power stats and proficiency in Lost God’s Divine Radiance increased based on how many great deeds he accomplished.

The fact that both stats had risen meant that those who served him as a god were gradually increasing. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been thinking for a moment, offered a prayer.

‘I want these people to have feelings of worship toward me.’

[Pixie’s Minor Miracle.]

The skill activates. No matter how miraculous, it was only a minor level. It couldn’t directly intervene in people’s emotions.

Therefore, a change occurs in Kang Jun-hyeok. His expression and posture change very subtly, in a way that makes people feel more worshipful emotions.

The emotions contained in their gazes become a little stronger. Kang Jun-hyeok lets out a quiet laugh.

“All sorts of things work.”

The name ‘miracle’ wasn’t wasted.

Kang Jun-hyeok was being accepted as a god by these people.

When they saw him, they would flinch and make way, quietly greeting him with proper respect.

But it still wasn’t enough.

It wasn’t to the point where they would worship, believe in, and follow him.

A decisive blow was needed.

And that decisive blow came to the village. Someone shouted with a joyful face.

“The Tribal Chief has returned!”

* * *

The Tribal Chief who led the people had returned with the warriors. On their shoulders were the carcasses of giant scorpions. The people shouted with joy.

“Tribal Chief! You’ve returned!”

“It seems this hunt was also a splendid success!”

“Yes. Good to see you.”

The Tribal Chief grinned and set down the carcasses. As he looked over the tribe members, he tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“By the way, you all. Your complexions look quite good. Did you get lucky and succeed in a hunt?”

The desert was always short on food. Until the Tribal Chief returned from hunting, they had to live half-starved, so having dark complexions and emaciated bodies was the norm.

But this time was different. The tribe members’ faces were bright. Their usually dry and rough skin even had a healthy glow.

At the Tribal Chief’s question, they flinched and trembled. Someone who mustered courage spoke up cautiously.

“…Tribal Chief. A special guest has come to visit.”

“A guest?”

The Tribal Chief frowned.

“You received a guest? What’s going on?”

“So you’re the child leading these people. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

A calm voice echoed. The people swallowed nervously and opened a path. The Tribal Chief’s eyes widened at their perfectly coordinated movement.

Beyond them, Kang Jun-hyeok’s figure came into view.

The Tribal Chief and Warriors hastily drew their weapons. Kang Jun-hyeok paid no attention and slowly stepped forward.

“I am Rukator. I am the avatar of this place’s deity. I have come here to commend you who live your best lives in this place and to guide your path.”

“Guide us?”

The Tribal Chief gripped his scimitar tighter with a wary expression.

“We are surviving this place with our own strength. And now some being claiming to be a god wants to interfere? Don’t make me laugh!”

“The children who followed you said the same thing.”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled faintly.

Only then did the Tribal Chief’s eyes waver as he realized something was strange.

All the Village people had distanced themselves. As if they didn’t want to offend Kang Jun-hyeok’s mood, they bowed their heads and maintained the utmost courtesy.

They looked exactly like believers truly serving a deity. To the bewildered Tribal Chief, Kang Jun-hyeok spoke slowly.

“I do not seek blind faith from you. Come into the Village and see with your own eyes what miracles have occurred.”

“….”

The Tribal Chief followed behind Kang Jun-hyeok without sheathing his scimitar. The first thing he saw was the purified Oasis.

The Tribal Chief swallowed hard.

The Oasis water that had been dusty, with dead insects floating in it, requiring one to prepare for disease just by drinking it, was now infinitely clear.

And his eyes widened endlessly as he entered the Village.

“Fruits?”

Thanks to Kang Jun-hyeok continuously planting seeds, fruits like watermelons had grown large enough to be called a field. The sight of lush green vegetation growing abundantly on the sand was extremely strange.

“You seem tired from hunting for the children.”

Kang Jun-hyeok extended his hand toward the Tribal Chief. Pixie’s Minor Miracle activated and the Tribal Chief’s fatigue was restored.

“…!”

The Tribal Chief was shocked.

His physical fatigue had disappeared. He felt no intervention of divine power. It was a miracle in the truest sense.

“Will you still deny me even after this?”

“….”

The Tribal Chief had no choice but to acknowledge it.

The man before his eyes was extraordinary.

He didn’t know if he was truly a deity’s avatar as he claimed, but he at least possessed power equivalent to one.

But he had his pride.

“Don’t make me laugh! We are surviving in this place! Do you think we’ll let some outsider of unknown origin control us!”

“So you reject me. It’s unfortunate, but I understand. Faith is never an easy thing.”

Despite the intense emotions, Kang Jun-hyeok’s attitude remained utterly calm. He smiled faintly.

“Then how about confirming it directly with your own hands?”

“What, what?”

“You seem to believe in your own strength and act accordingly.”

Kang Jun-hyeok spread both arms wide.

“Then test it directly. What kind of being I am. And what kind of person you are.”

* * *

The vast desert.

At one location there, tribe members held their breath and watched. In the clearing created by the crowd stood Kang Jun-hyeok and the tribal chief. The tribal chief bit his lips.

“…You won’t regret this.”

Kang Jun-hyeok had suggested to the tribal chief to attack him freely.

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

“Go ahead and try as much as you want. I’ll be right here.”

“…”

The tribal chief’s face darkened. He gripped his scimitar tighter.

Paaaak!

Sand scattered. He rushed forward at high speed and thrust his scimitar. The sharp blade tried to cut his arm.

However.

Kaaaang!

“Kruuuk!”

The tribal chief’s body was pushed backward.

Fabric and blade had collided, but it was the blade that bounced off. The watching tribe members’ eyes widened.

“Wh, what?”

“What’s that!”

“This!”

The tribal chief hastily regained his stance and swung his scimitar again, but nothing changed. The blade that struck flesh bounced off helplessly. Kang Jun-hyeok thought to himself.

‘Is this the extent of it? Not weak though.’

But that was exactly the extent of it.

A Player’s body protected by defense power was itself a barrier.

Moreover, his defense was 65.

Ordinary attacks without using aura couldn’t even deal damage. The tribal chief’s face became serious. He tensed his entire body. Aura wrapped around his scimitar.

Swaaaak!

The air split, and the blade cut Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck.

This time it didn’t bounce off like before.

But that was exactly the extent of it.

“Not bad. You have enough strength to lead these people.”

“…This is impossible!”

“Good heavens!”

The tribe members screamed. Even though the blade had clearly cut his neck, Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t have a single wound.

The Player’s body had taken no injury. Not just him, but all other Players possessed this ability.

But to ordinary people watching, it was certainly an impossible miracle. The tribal chief stammered.

“H, how…”

“You are my children. Your power cannot reach me.”

[What an excellent con artist.]

Manbyeonggi chuckled. A strange emotion appeared in the tribal chief’s eyes. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke gently as if driving in the final nail.

“But I understand your distrust as well. So I shall make a prophecy.”

In the silence, Kang Jun-hyeok continues speaking.

“Tonight. Terrible things will come for you. And they will be annihilated under my divine radiance.”

“….”

“For now, how about we leave it at this. When darkness falls, you will know everything.”

The Tribal Chief swallowed and sheathed his scimitar.

Kang Jun-hyeok returned to the village. The gazes of the people watching him held stronger emotions than before.

[Divine Power + 1]

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance proficiency has increased.]

[Acting proficiency has increased.]

[Persuasion proficiency has increased.]

[Interesting.]

Manbyeonggi laughed.

[You’ve decided to call yourself the incarnation of a god. But no one believes in or follows a god without miracles. You’ve begun to cleverly deceive them using your foreignness as a Player and Pixie’s miracles. Your mind really works well in this direction.]

“It’s still not enough.”

Even so, they hadn’t reached the stage of worshipping him yet.

The prophecy was meant to solve that problem.

Night fell. The people couldn’t sleep properly, troubled by Kang Jun-hyeok’s prophecy. Then suddenly, the ground shook.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The sand trembled and the ground caved in. People rushed outside. The Tribal Chief drew his scimitar and extended his senses.

“…Damn!”

He grimaced and shouted.

“Have they come for revenge for their hunted kinfolk? It’s an attack by Red Scorpions! Everyone prepare!”

“Yes!”

The tribe members calmly drew their weapons to face the scorpions.

But as if they had come with determination, dozens of scorpions began attacking all at once. The defensive line slowly gave way and the Tribal Chief’s face began to harden.

In this raid, this tribe would be destroyed.

From his past life’s memories, Kang Jun-hyeok knew this better than anyone.

And because of that, he also knew very well that now was an excellent opportunity.

[Sound Amplification.]

[Glowing.]

[Pixie’s Wings.]

“Wicked creatures who dare to harm my children.”

His voice echoed across the desert. His glowing body rose into the sky. People reflexively looked up at Kang Jun-hyeok.

“You shall all be annihilated.”

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

And there was light.

People instinctively covered their eyes. That much light erupted. Though it was clearly a dark time when only moonlight illuminated the ground, it was a divine radiance as if the sun had risen.

[Kaaack!]

[Kieeeek!]

The scorpions touched by that light screamed in agony. They desperately tried to escape by burrowing under the sand. But it was meaningless. The divine radiance that had erupted began burning all enemies within its range. It turned the sand into glass while incinerating the scorpions’ bodies into nothingness.

Kiiiiiing.

And when the light finally faded.

The people who barely managed to open their eyes gaped in shock.

The scorpions that had been attacking them.

Those monsters had vanished without a trace. Silence lingered in the air. And after a moment, someone spoke up.

“Oh, ohh….”

“Ohhh!”

“Lord Rukator!”

That cry soon spread like a wave. Blind faith, with all disbelief gone, was directed toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

[Divine Power + 3]

[The proficiency of Lost God’s Divine Radiance has increased.]
