All Master of 100 Floors Episode 147

The Final Test (1)

[Passive Skill: Greatsword Mastery]

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

[Proficiency: B]

[The technique of wielding a greatsword. Even a talented person cannot reach this level despite a lifetime of effort.]

The proficiency of Greatsword Mastery had also reached B.

And the proficiency of Lost God’s Divine Radiance had risen to E.

[Active Skill: Lost God’s Divine Radiance]

[Grade: Unique]

[Proficiency: E]

[Cooldown: 3 days]

[Brings down the Lost God’s Divine Radiance to the mortal world. The radiance will burn and annihilate your enemies, while bestowing purification and mercy upon your allies.]

‘This is one of those damn skills that barely levels up.’

It had already reached E.

With reaching E, the changes were enhanced power against enemies and the addition of buffs for allies.

As a divine power, it was only natural. But what made this skill special was its range. A radiance that engulfed the entire area.

Providing buffs of that magnitude was impossible unless you were a Saint or Saintess class. At least, it wasn’t divine power that Kang Jun-hyeok could handle.

[Conqueror’s Scimitar]

[Type: Weapon]

[Grade: High Grade]

[Attack Power + 70]

[Before Duneshade showed itself, all desert tribes were one. They gathered all metals existing in the desert to create a special scimitar. After Duneshade’s appearance, a legend was passed down that it would be delivered to a hero, and that legend has been fulfilled.]

“Whew.”

Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.

A high-grade weapon. Even though it wasn’t a greatsword, its attack power was a whopping 70. It was similar to the Cold Iron Greatsword that the Blacksmith had made for him directly.

This alone would be sufficient, but there were two more Perfect Clear rewards.

[Duneshade’s Carapace]

[Grade: High Grade]

[The hardest rock of an adult Duneshade. Its carapace boasts near-absolute strength and hardness, making it impossible to refine with human power.]

[Duneshade’s Tail]

[Grade: High Grade]

[The poisonous tail of an adult Duneshade. The poison contained within corrupts the world and contaminates all things. A single drop can kill tens of thousands of humans.]

Both were high-grade material items.

This was the first time materials were high-grade. They were rewards worth all the hardship. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately went to find the Blacksmith.

“You’re here. What is it this time? For reference, I haven’t finished analyzing the materials you gave me last time.”

“That’s not what I came to ask about.”

At the sight of the Blacksmith taking the initiative as soon as he saw him, Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled and took out the two materials. Interest appeared on the Blacksmith’s face.

“Duneshade’s Carapace and tail. They look like they’re from an adult too. Did you hunt it alone?”

“Yes.”

“You’ve gotten stronger.”

A gleam appeared in the Blacksmith’s eyes.

“At this level, you should be able to proceed with my Quest soon.”

Kang Jun-hyeok was progressing through a Quest from the Blacksmith.

It was a Quest that would allow him to gain the Blacksmith’s full power and make him a retainer.

After the first Quest, it hadn’t progressed because his strength was insufficient, but it seemed the conditions were finally met.

“A Quest that requires defeating a monster-class creature solo. I’m scared to think what you’re planning to make me do.”

“You don’t mean that. I’ll make equipment from the carapace for you.”

The carapace had been described as impossible to refine with human strength, but the Blacksmith took it with a face that showed no concern.

“And the tail can be used for alteration.”

The functions unlocked by clearing the Blacksmith’s Quest were enhancement and alteration.

Enhancement raised the weapon’s stats themselves, while alteration granted attributes to weapons.

He could finally use that second function. The Blacksmith asked.

“What will you use it on?”

“Manbyeonggi, of course.”

Kang Jun-hyeok handed over Manbyeonggi. The Blacksmith skillfully dismantled the tail and began infusing the power contained within into Manbyeonggi.

“Here. Take it.”

The alteration was completed in an instant. Kang Jun-hyeok checked Manbyeonggi.

[Manbyeonggi +1]

[Part: Weapon]

[Grade: Unique]

[Attack Power + ? + 4]

[Alteration: Inflicts powerful poison status ailment on hit targets.]

[Can store ten thousand weapons.]

[Only those with qualifications can wield it.]

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.

The effect that appeared was inflicting poison status ailment on hit targets.

He had expected that itself, but there was one peculiar point.

“It’s a guaranteed hit, not a probability?”

There was no mention of being granted with a certain probability. The Blacksmith added an explanation.

“It won’t work on all opponents. It won’t apply to those with resistance or who can purify it.”

“Huh.”

Even so, it was an incredibly powerful effect. It essentially meant he could inflict poison status ailment as long as he landed an attack.

It was worth consuming superior materials. Kang Jun-hyeok showed a satisfied expression.

“The carapace will take some time, right?”

“Come back in 5 days. I’ll make it cleanly for you.”

“Understood.”

Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth and called Pixie. When he transmitted his memories to her, her eyes went wide.

[The miracle I gave you. You used it very well?]

“Thanks to you, I cleared it easily.”

[…Did you know, or was it coincidence?]

Pixie was confused. From Pixie’s Treasure Intuition to Minor Miracle. Kang Jun-hyeok had purchased exactly the skills needed for clearing each time. As if he knew the Tower’s contents in advance. Suspicion arose in Pixie’s eyes.

But that feeling soon disappeared.

[No way. The Master of the Universe wouldn’t have made it so carelessly. You have really good intuition?]

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled silently. Pixie, who had been recalling memories, let out an exclamation.

[Duneshade. You’ve defeated its adult form. You’ve grown stronger.]

[I’m only just now able to pull my own weight.]

[As before, your standards are too strict. This is the level of power that only one or two might possess on an ordinary planet, you know?]

[Even so, that’s all it amounts to. Compared to our past selves, it’s close to dust level. You’re only just approaching 2nd tier power.]

Manbyeonggi spoke indifferently. Pixie clicked her tongue but didn’t deny it.

[This is only the 30th Floor. Compared to other Players, it’s an overwhelming pace. You will become strong. Even more so in the future. And perhaps… you might even reach our level.]

“Not reach it. I’ll surpass your level.”

Kang Jun-hyeok answered. At his voice filled with certainty rather than possibility, Pixie grinned.

[Good. Then take it!]

[320 Starlight.]

The Perfect Player title increases the probability of persuading others.

Having finished organizing everything, Kang Jun-hyeok did some stretching.

‘Well then, it’s about time now.’

And 5 minutes later.

A System Window appeared.

[Hello, everyone!]

An incredibly cheerful message appeared.

[The time has come. The final test will now begin!]

The world distorted, and Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was transported.

To an empty, vacant White Space with nothing in it.

He wasn’t alone there. Countless people were gathered together in clusters. Voices filled with sighs and determination rang out.

“Ahh… we’re here.”

“This time for sure. This time for sure!”

Finally, the final test had begun.

* * *

“Eek.”

“K-Kang Jun-hyeok sir.”

People who recognized Kang Jun-hyeok flinched and backed away. The level of power he possessed had already been fully revealed in the second test. Awe and respect filled people’s eyes.

Soon someone pushed through the crowd and hurriedly approached.

“Kang Jun-hyeok sir!”

“It’s been a while, Baekdusan sir.”

“It’s been a while! Have you been well?”

“Hello.”

“Kim Tae-yeon sir, it’s been a while too.”

Baekdusan and Kim Tae-yeon approached Kang Jun-hyeok. Kim Tae-yeon looked around the surroundings.

“…It’s an empty space with nothing in it. What do you think will happen here?”

“Whatever happens, there’s no problem! We have Kang Jun-hyeok sir with us!”

Baekdusan spoke energetically.

Kang Jun-hyeok was strong. Since they had cleared the second test almost perfectly with his power, it was natural faith. The gazes of people looking at him also contained firm trust.

But Kang Jun-hyeok knew.

That he wouldn’t be proceeding with the test together with them.

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled silently. Briefly turning his gaze, he looked in one direction and opened his mouth.

“Hey.”

“Eek!”

A sharp scream rang out. Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.

“Stop cowering over there and come here.”

“Y-yes!”

Yu Jin-ha hurriedly approached Kang Jun-hyeok.

“Are you well?”

“Don’t give me empty pleasantries and just answer. The Tower. How far have you climbed?”

“I’m climbing diligently! Risking my life!”

Yu Jin-ha answered with a tense expression. Kang Jun-hyeok quietly looked at him.

“Hmm.”

The aura he felt from Yu Jin-ha had clearly increased compared to before. It didn’t seem like empty words.

“We’ll have a duel later, so prepare yourself.”

“…Yes!”

Yu Jin-ha nodded with a tearful expression.

Baekdusan watched this scene with a strange expression.

Who was Yu Jin-ha?

The great Sword Saint. Korea’s top-tier Player. A powerhouse who ranked within the top hundred worldwide.

Yet such a person was acting like a disciplined recruit before Kang Jun-hyeok.

Not just Baekdusan, but everyone nearby was watching this scene. Kim Tae-yeon muttered quietly.

“This is… quite different from what I expected.”

“Ha, haha.”

Yu Jin-ha laughed awkwardly.

Shortly after, another person came looking for Kang Jun-hyeok. A sturdy man with a rough appearance.

The Player Kang Jun-hyeok had connected to Yulsir. It was Kim Ha-young.

“Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok.”

“You. You’ve become stronger.”

Kang Jun-hyeok showed a surprised expression. Kim Ha-young, whom he met again, had grown stronger. To a degree that surprised him. Kim Ha-young answered in a calm voice.

“It’s all thanks to you, Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok. Thanks to you, I was able to set foot on the path of the great one. I sincerely thank you.”

Kim Ha-young was maintaining a very peculiar posture. He was following Yulsir’s Laws.

“It seems Yulsir is pleased with you.”

“I’m receiving undeserved grace.”

“Congratulations.”

This was an unexpected variable. Just as he was about to continue the conversation, the sky opened and a black-haired girl appeared.

“Yahoo! Hello!”

Earth’s Administrator. People held their breath. The Administrator looked around at them, then grinned when she saw Kang Jun-hyeok.

“I see a familiar face. I’d like to talk more, but… unfortunately, there isn’t much time.”

The Administrator clapped her hands.

“Now then, we’ll proceed with the final test!”

People held their breath. They gritted their teeth and tightened their grip on their weapons. While doing so, some looked at Kang Jun-hyeok.

Perfect Player.

If he was there, they could clear it without problems.

Their eyes held such faith.

And the Administrator completely shattered their faith.

“Before proceeding with the test, we’ll first divide into groups. Three groups total. Lower tier, middle tier, and upper tier! Each group will move to separate locations to proceed with their Quest!”

“…What?”

“Wait. Separately?”

Murmurs instantly spread. The Administrator snapped her fingers.

“First, the lower group!”

Snap.

Half of the people disappeared from the White Space.

She snapped her fingers once more. Kim Tae-yeon, who realized something, hurriedly turned her gaze.

“Wait a moment. Kang Jun-hyeok…”

“Then next. Middle group!”

Snap.

And the remaining half of the people disappeared as well.

What remained were only Kang Jun-hyeok, Yu Jin-ha, and Kim Ha-young. Yu Jin-ha’s eyes widened.

“…Wait a minute. Don’t tell me the three of us are proceeding together?”

“That probably won’t be the case.”

Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head. The Administrator snapped her fingers once more.

“Then lastly. Upper group!”

Snap.

The three of them were transported.

To a colorful place like an Amusement Park.

And they weren’t the only ones there.

“Huh…?”

“Wait a minute. What’s this?”

There were dozens of people in that place. It was different from before. Until now, the tests had been conducted only with Korean Players.

But here, there were Black people, White people, Asians, various races. The Administrator clapped her hands.

“Now. You are the upper group. The strongest one hundred Players on This Planet! Each group will proceed with their respective Quests!”

The final test.

It was a test conducted on a planetary scale, not by Kingdom.
