All Master of 100 Floors Episode 145

30th Floor. Desert of Death (4)

Following the traces of the Duneshade, he moves forward. With plenty of leisure, he conserves his stamina as much as possible. After three days of traveling like this, he finally arrives at the Duneshade’s dwelling.

An empty hole in the middle of the desert where the bottom cannot be seen.

Inside it was a black and white scorpion.

“Hello?”

Kang Jun-hyeok greeted it. The Duneshade slowly leaped out of the hole. Its massive body revealed itself, trampling the sand.

Its mandibles clash roughly, threatening him. He can feel the tingling emotions of wariness, hostility, and killing intent.

‘Monster class.’

Something massive that has transcended the simple category of life.

Beings like Kraken, Leviathan, Behemoth, Three-legged Crow, and Duneshade.

They were called monster class in the universe.

And their other name was domain rulers.

Monster class beings each ruled their own domains. They made the deep sea, the sky, the desert, and mountains entirely their own.

In the very distant past, these beings were called mountain gods, sea monsters, or sky beasts. As beings beyond comprehension, they received people’s worship and fear.

Such a fully grown monster was now before his eyes.

“Perfect timing.”

It was the optimal being to judge what level he had reached. Kang Jun-hyeok gripped his great sword. The Duneshade roughly clashed its mandibles and put strength into its hind legs.

Kuuuuuung!

Its legs strike the ground. Sand explodes outward as its body accelerates. He puts strength into the hand holding the great sword against the roughly swinging tongs.

Kaaaaaang!

A strong impact sound rings out as Kang Jun-hyeok’s body slides backward. The impact is transmitted to his arm through the great sword.

Kiing.

The Duneshade’s tail rises. At that moment, goosebumps rise. Death Line Awakening activates, expanding his consciousness and increasing his strength and speed.

The tail thrust at a speed transcending sound barely grazes past his cheek.

Kwaaaaang!

A massive hole is pierced in the desert. If hit directly, it would have the power to cut his health in half.

That’s not all. The Duneshade’s tail contains poison that could kill tens of thousands of adults with a single drop. Even his poison resistance couldn’t withstand it.

Kugugugugung!

The Duneshade roughly thrusts its hind legs to approach. It raises its tongs and strikes down powerfully.

Against the attack that seems to want to crush everything, Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breathing. He draws up his internal energy and aims for the precise timing to thrust his great sword at the tongs.

Kuuuuuung!

A massive crater is carved in the desert. Kang Jun-hyeok’s knees bend until just before they touch the ground.

“Hmm.”

His body creaks and his muscles are strained. He succeeded in landing a counter by using the opponent’s strength against them, prepared for the risk.

But not a single scratch appeared on the tongs. The opposite tong swept across the ground. He kicked off the ground to evade and recovered his muscles with divine power.

The black and white scorpion. Duneshade.

It doesn’t have special abilities like the Kraken.

It’s simply big, fast, strong, and hard.

In terms of pure specs alone, it’s definitely above that.

‘How should I attack it?’

The biggest obstacle was its hard carapace that didn’t even get scratched when countered.

The weakest part of the Duneshade’s body is its belly.

But even One-Point Pierce couldn’t penetrate it.

Then I’ll concentrate all my power on one point of its belly. The Duneshade approaches, bursting through the sand. Kang Jun-hyeok steadies his breathing. He blocks the descending tongs and channels that force into his sword.

[Crack Movement.]

He moves beneath the Duneshade’s belly. He grips his great sword tightly.

[Thrust.]

Zzzeeeong!

A strong impact sound rings out. The Duneshade panics and stomps its feet to escape.

[Spear Throwing.]

[Spear Throwing.]

Kwadeuk.

But the spears that had already been thrown pierce exactly into the spot Kang Jun-hyeok stabbed. The Duneshade clicks its jaw as if slightly annoyed.

Kuuung!

Its hind legs move and sand explodes once again.

A scene that would make anyone who didn’t know think a tsunami was occurring in the desert. The tongs violently strike the ground.

Kung! Kung! Kuuuung!

Sand bounces in all directions like bullets. Kang Jun-hyeok endures the aftermath with his body. Since he’s targeting the Duneshade’s belly, he can’t perfectly avoid everything either.

Kuuuung!

He raises his great sword toward the descending tongs.

[Block.]

Zzzeeeeeong!

He endures the load transmitted through the sword with his strength. Then he unleashes powerful force.

[Repulsion.]

Kuuuung!

With the skill’s activation, the tongs separate from the great sword, if only slightly.

He kicks off the ground, aiming for that gap.

[Instant Acceleration.]

He rushes instantly and arrives beneath its belly. He uses Air Jump to stab the exact spot again.

[Charge.]

[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

Kwaaaaang!

The Duneshade’s body shakes from the strong impact. Cracks spread across the carapace part of its belly with a crackling sound.

Kung! Kung! Kung!

The Duneshade’s attacks become even more violent. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body collides with the sweeping tongs. He succeeded in deflecting the impact, but even that alone deals considerable damage.

Peoooooong!

He barely evades the tail. The tail doesn’t stop and strikes down several times. Craters form one after another in the desert.

Boom boom boom boom bang!

Sand pours down like a downpour. This is dangerous. Kang Jun-hyeok lowers his stance.

[Stealth.]

His body disappears.

A miraculous technique with no presence, no sound, even erasing the sixth sense. Indeed, even Duneshade hesitates for a moment.

But that time was only a comma. Duneshade strikes the ground with both tongs. Sand erupts and pushes away in all directions. Kang Jun-hyeok clicks his tongue as he breaks through the wave of sand.

What is the most suitable countermeasure against stealth that hides one’s form?

It was a wide-range explosion of power.

Duneshade responded to the stealth effect by bursting the ground.

“As expected, a monster is still a monster.”

The monster wasn’t simply strong. It had lived for a long time, and therefore possessed considerable intelligence.

Buuuuuung!

The tongs strike down at Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok defends. His body is crushed by the tremendous force. Muscles rupture and his stamina takes damage.

He recovers the damaged muscles with divine power and places his fingers on the tongs.

[Six Senses Exclusion.]

For 1 second, all of Duneshade’s senses are blocked.

Duneshade immediately went wild like mad. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t retreat. He absorbs the bouncing sand fragments with his wrist guard and burrows under its belly.

Crack.

He strikes with the great sword again.

The crack spreads even stronger. Duneshade hastily creates distance.

Click click.

Duneshade, clicking its mandibles, thought quickly. This human uses strange powers. He’s somehow approaching and targeting the belly.

Then how should it respond?

The answer is simple.

Don’t give him distance. Duneshade raises both tongs high. It puts full force into them and collides them together.

Zzzzzzzzzing!

An intense sound wave resonates. The ground shakes and the atmosphere is pushed away.

“Kugh!”

For the first time, Kang Jun-hyeok let out a groan.

An intense shattering sound rang out enough to tear his eardrums. Damage penetrated through his defense.

This was a sound bomb.

Kang Jun-hyeok quickly closed the distance. But Duneshade created distance from Kang Jun-hyeok and clashed its tongs together again.

Zzzzzzzing!

The sound bomb strikes Kang Jun-hyeok once more. His body staggers greatly. Kang Jun-hyeok frowns.

‘It changed tactics.’

It doesn’t face Kang Jun-hyeok head-on. It maintains a certain distance and attacks with sound bombs.

It was quite an effective tactic. Duneshade’s speed was faster than his, so if it was determined to run away, he couldn’t approach.

Zzzzzzzing!

The sound strikes Kang Jun-hyeok’s body again. His remaining stamina is instantly reduced by half.

He quickly racks his brain.

The technique to close the distance is Crack Movement.

However, he could only move to parts visible in his sight. If the weak spot on the belly was hidden so thoroughly, it would be difficult to deal damage.

Then he would target a completely different area.

The part the opponent was most confident in and therefore unconscious of. Along with his judgment, he immediately kicks off the ground.

[Crack Movement.]

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body appears in front of the Duneshade.

At that moment, the Duneshade instantly swung its tongs.

Kwadeudeuk!

Kang Jun-hyeok barely succeeded in defending, but unable to withstand that force, he was slammed into the ground.

Ttadadak!

The opponent made a mistake in their haste from his attack. Judging this, the Duneshade brought down its tongs to finish him off.

“I was waiting for this.”

[Balance.]

He immediately corrects his broken posture. He puts strength into the hand gripping the great sword. He gathers all his internal energy and channels it into the sword’s tip.

The great sword precisely targets the joint section of the tongs.

Kaaaaaang!

The sound of the atmosphere shattering rings out from the impact. Kang Jun-hyeok grits his teeth and puts strength into his entire body. Using Manbyeonggi’s Divine Art, he channels all the applied force into a single sword.

Jjeoeoeong!

And finally, the tongs that couldn’t withstand the force are deflected away. The Duneshade hurriedly protects its belly.

But what Kang Jun-hyeok was targeting wasn’t something like the belly.

The part with the highest strength on the Duneshade’s body was precisely the tongs.

That much made its consciousness vulnerable.

The joint section of those tongs.

He targets that spot.

First sword form. Raging Wind Heaven Slash.

[One-Point Pierce.]

Jjeoeoeoeong!

A thrust containing all his power targets the joint section. Only then realizing Kang Jun-hyeok’s aim, the Duneshade moves its other tongs to strike his body away.

But that was a mistake.

[Immovable Stance.]

Kuuung!

The tongs struck Kang Jun-hyeok’s body but he didn’t move. For 1 second, he was in a state unaffected by any external attacks.

Suppressing the impact, he put even more force into the great sword. The joint section began to creak and split open.

But it still wasn’t enough.

So one more.

[Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear.]

God of Jealousy. Zelesi’s divine authority manifests in the world. An ashen spear that denies, rejects, and envies all things appears, cutting through space.

Swaeeaek!

It flies straight and embeds precisely into the joint section.

Crack. Crack crack crack!

The joint widens even more. And finally, unable to withstand it, it splits apart. White flesh becomes visible.

And one more thing.

[True Ancestor Awakening.]

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes turn red.

Blood vessels crawl strand by strand toward the exposed flesh. They wrap around tissue and coil around tendons. Kang Jun-hyeok clenches his fist.

Craaack!

The blood vessels sever and slice through everything they’ve wrapped around.

With a cry of pain, the tongs strike Kang Jun-hyeok.

Kwaaaang!

“Cough.”

He took a direct hit without even being able to defend. The stamina recovered through True Ancestor Awakening was cut in half in an instant.

But Kang Jun-hyeok had a satisfied expression.

[!!!!]

A cry that seemed to tear the world apart burst forth. One of Duneshade’s proud tongs was dangling like a broken tree branch.

“It worked perfectly.”

He couldn’t aim for the belly.

So he targeted the joint part of the tongs where the shell was vulnerable.

Even for a joint, it was half a gamble whether it would work, but it succeeded perfectly.

“I’ve consumed a lot too, but if I took out one of your proud tongs, I got off cheap, right?”

[!!!!]

A pain-filled gaze turns toward him. What was contained within it was terrible hatred. Kang Jun-hyeok grins and extends his arm holding the great sword.

“Let’s stop calculating this and that and fight purely to kill each other.”

[Grace of Compassion.]

[!]

Thoom!

Duneshade’s body flies through the sky. Its remaining tong blocks out the sun. Against the attack striking down as if to crush all things, Kang Jun-hyeok kicks off the ground.
