All Master of 100 Floors Episode 144

30th Floor. Desert of Death (3)

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance. An incomparably powerful force.]

Eldyria mutters.

[It burns the world with pure divine power. It’s not a power that a mere believer should possess.]

And the tribe members knew this fact as well. Their distrust disappeared in the face of the intense divine power that illuminated the world. Worship and faith turned toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

The tribe members no longer doubted Kang Jun-hyeok.

However, the Tribal Chief still couldn’t accept Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok quietly approached him and asked.

“For what reason do you doubt me?”

“…We have been living in this place through our own strength. Now a being claiming to be a god wants to lead us, do you think we can accept that?”

What was contained in those eyes was firm conviction.

‘Not distrust, but human will?’

It was the most troublesome type.

Then he would have to use a different method. Kang Jun-hyeok quietly smiles.

“As you say, I will lead you all. The result will be beneficial for you as well. But if you continue to refuse… unfortunately, the direction of my emotions might change.”

The Tribal Chief’s body trembled slightly.

What would happen to them if someone like Kang Jun-hyeok showed hostility instead of goodwill?

Only then did he consider that possibility. After pondering for a long time, the Tribal Chief slowly knelt and bowed his body. Kang Jun-hyeok placed his hand on his head.

“It’s the right decision.”

The existing leader who had led the tribe. Even the Tribal Chief acknowledged Kang Jun-hyeok and took a posture of submission.

There was nothing left to make people uncomfortable. Pure feelings of worship turned toward him. To them, Kang Jun-hyeok declared.

“I shall build my kingdom in this place. I will conquer the desert and expand toward the world. And I will leave my name in history, and you are the first people of that kingdom.”

“Uoooooh!”

“Lord Rukator! Lord Rukator!”

[Divine Power + 1]

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

Kang Jun-hyeok grins.

“In this place, there are not only you but many abandoned children. Guide me. I shall save them all.”

At those words, people’s eyes widened.

“Do you mean you will lead the other tribes as well?”

“Is there a problem?”

“No. There isn’t!”

The desert tribes reject and oppose each other. The emotional rifts built up over time are considerable, but the feelings of worship toward Kang Jun-hyeok easily suppress them.

“Follow me.”

“Yes!”

Kang Jun-hyeok led the people as they moved through the desert.

When they arrived at the next tribe, the opponents thought they were being attacked and frantically drew their weapons in terror. Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward and spoke calmly.

“I am the avatar of Rukator who has descended to this place to lead you. Bow your heads to me and follow.”

“Don’t make me laugh!”

“Where does this damn bastard crawl from to spout such nonsense!”

Naturally, they didn’t listen. They showed strong resistance and argued back.

Kang Jun-hyeok used divine power and skills to show miracles, just like with the first tribe.

He grew plants on the sand and used miracles to fulfill what the people desired. The original tribe members who had followed him expressed admiration and bowed.

Human emotions were contagious by nature. Seeing those emotions, they hesitantly began to follow and synchronize. And decisively, he dealt with the desert scorpions that had occupied their oasis.

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

Intense divine radiance descended upon the world, burning and annihilating the scorpions.

Finally, even they showed feelings of worship toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

Kang Jun-hyeok led them and moved through the desert once again.

As the size of the group grew larger, the magnitude of emotions increased, making the difficulty that much easier. Finding the next tribe and receiving their worship took less than two days. In just ten days, Kang Jun-hyeok had successfully found all the tribes in the desert and led them.

[Divine Power + 2]

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

[Persuasion proficiency has increased.]

[Acting proficiency has increased.]

Kang Jun-hyeok headed to the largest oasis in the center of the desert.

“I will establish my kingdom in this place.”

[Ground Leveling.]

Rumble!

The desert ground became flat. People burst into exclamations.

“Build the foundation where you will live your entire lives and advance toward the world. Create my kingdom.”

“Yes!”

“According to Lord Rukator’s will!”

People moved quickly. They cut nearby rocks to make walls and dug sand to lay the foundation. Kang Jun-hyeok leisurely watched them.

Once this kingdom was completed, the 30th Floor Quest would end.

The floor with the lowest achievement rate. Even he in his previous life couldn’t resolve their distrust.

But this time, he had succeeded in perfectly deceiving them using the various stats and skills he possessed.

Even right now, letters were being filled in the Lost God’s Scripture at a rapid pace. It was a near-perfect clear.

One of the tribal chiefs building the royal castle burst into hearty laughter.

“Looking back now, I don’t know why we fought all this time.”

The desert tribes held deep grudges against each other. They were grudges so deep that they would draw weapons and fight just by looking at each other, making harmony absolutely impossible. Another tribal chief answered.

“It was probably because of the myths passed down through generations at first. Hearing such stories from childhood inevitably creates antipathy toward the others.”

“Stories?”

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been quietly observing, approached. He restrained the tribal chief who was about to bow in reverence and asked.

“What myth are you referring to?”

“It’s nothing major.”

The Tribal Chief began his explanation.

Among the desert tribe members, one myth had been passed down.

That one of the tribes existing in this place was a servant of a monster hiding deep in the desert.

That they were always watching for an opportunity to make us their slaves.

That if they finally enslaved all beings, the monster hidden in the desert would reveal itself and devour everything.

Such a myth had been passed down throughout the entire tribe.

“It’s just a simple old tale. Now that Lord Rukator has personally descended, there’s no need to worry about it anymore.”

The Tribal Chief spoke as if it was nothing significant. But Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression became ambiguous.

‘A myth passed down to all beings in the desert.’

It was highly likely to have some meaning. Kang Jun-hyeok analyzed the content of the myth.

‘A monster deep in the desert.’

And the monster’s servants hidden among humans.

This was a warning.

Then what was this warning for?

After contemplation, the answer came.

‘A warning to prevent people from gathering.’

To make them suspect and oppose other tribes, preventing them from gathering in one place. It was a myth with such a purpose.

It meant there was a reason people shouldn’t gather together.

Along with that realization, the ground rumbled. The desert floor began to shake violently as if an earthquake had occurred. People panicked and lowered their stance.

“An earthquake?”

“Huh?”

Kang Jun-hyeok, who quickly expanded his senses, could tell.

This wasn’t an earthquake.

Something was approaching.

Kuuuuung!

Finally, breaking through the sand, it revealed itself.

“…Ah.”

People opened their mouths in a daze.

It was a scorpion.

But its size was on a completely different dimension from other scorpions.

While other scorpions were at most similar to beasts in size, what appeared now was as massive as a sand dune. It had a carapace mixed with black and white that looked like gems.

Kang Jun-hyeok realized.

That this was the desert monster from the myth that had been passed down. Eldyria muttered as if finding it interesting.

[A Duneshade. So something like this had settled here.]

Kugugugugung!

The scorpion slowly approached them. Their faces turned pale white at the monster that humans couldn’t resist. Just as they were about to flee without even thinking to draw their weapons, Kang Jun-hyeok moved.

[Crack Movement.]

Moving above the scorpion’s head, he flicked his hand.

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

Kiiiiing!

Intense light illuminates the world. People burst into cheers.

“Ooooh!”

“Lord Rukator!”

They believed without doubt that the light would burn and annihilate the scorpion’s body.

But soon their expressions hardened.

Even after the light disappeared, the scorpion’s body was intact. Its shell had turned red from exposure to the heat, but that was all.

The scorpion moved its legs. With a sound of something breaking, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was slammed into the ground.

Kwaaaaang!

Sand becomes a tsunami and strikes the surroundings.

“…Ah.”

“Uh.”

The god they believed in and worshipped had been subdued by a desert monster.

A chilling silence fell. Just as they were about to scream and flee, Kang Jun-hyeok appeared, breaking through the sand.

[One-Point Pierce.]

Jjeoooong!

An intense collision sound spreads. The scorpion’s body, which collided with the spear, staggers and is pushed back. At the sight of Kang Jun-hyeok without a single wound, they burst into cheers.

“Ooooh!”

“My god! We believed in you!”

They shouted as if victorious, but Kang Jun-hyeok was frowning.

‘It won’t pierce?’

He had accurately stabbed its weak point, the belly, while it was off guard, but not even a scratch appeared. Its hardness was beyond imagination.

The scorpion that had retreated glared at Kang Jun-hyeok.

After a brief standoff, the scorpion slowly retreated. People gathered, making a fuss.

“Lord Rukator! What is that, what is that thing!”

“It must be the desert monster from your mythology. When I sent you down to this world, I trampled and dealt with it. It seems it was bowing down and waiting for the time when I would descend.”

[How shameless. That thing revealed itself because you gathered people.]

Manbyeonggi mutters. Kang Jun-hyeok, lightly ignoring it, declares.

“You shall wait here. This time for sure, I will annihilate that monster and bring you stability.”

“Ooooh…”

“Lord Rukator! We will wait!”

Having calmed the people, Kang Jun-hyeok walked alone. Following the monster’s traces, Eldyria and Manbyeonggi muttered toward him.

[Duneshade. One of the monsters that rule the desert. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one.]

A giant scorpion with black and white colors.

Its name was Duneshade.

[Usually it sleeps deep in the desert. When life forms gather in one place above a certain number, it attacks that place, devours everything, and hides its body. Then it waits for life forms to gather again. The mythology passed down to these people was meant to warn against that thing.]

It was a monster-class existence like the Kraken. It was quite famous even on a universal scale, and Kang Jun-hyeok had seen it several times in his previous life. He clicked his tongue.

“I thought it would be easy, but there’s something like that at the end.”

[Judging by its size, it’s a mature adult that’s been around for a long time. It’s a low-grade existence even among monster class, but it’s still a monster.]

Manbyeonggi spoke as if pleased.

[A good opportunity indeed. A Player’s strength is heterogeneous, making it difficult to assess. If you can defeat that thing, I could say you’re capable of pulling your weight as a complete person.]

“The standards for pulling one’s weight are way too strict.”

But it was a good opportunity, just as Manbyeonggi said.

Since he was going for a Perfect Clear anyway, wouldn’t it be even better to defeat a powerful enemy?

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been analyzing the traces, stomped his foot.

[Crack Movement.]

His body disappeared as if being sucked into a crevice.
