All Master of 100 Floors Episode 015

 

 

2nd Floor. Goblin (6)

 

 

The first emotion that crossed the Goblin King’s face was bewilderment.

What followed immediately was rage.

“How dare you, consider me, as prey!”

Kang Jun-hyeok’s attitude had wounded the king’s pride. The king decided. He would definitely kill Kang Jun-hyeok here.

“I’ll kill, you!”

The king roughly kicked off the ground. The earth shook as his massive frame lunged at Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly raised his sword.

Claaang!

With the impact, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body slid backward. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes darkened at the burden he felt in his wrist.

‘Strong.’

The Goblin King’s strength was definitely superior to his.

His speed wasn’t far behind either. His skill in handling sword techniques was also excellent. It wouldn’t be wrong to say he was equal to Kang Jun-hyeok.

Given his large build, his reach was also overwhelmingly advantageous.

Up to this point, these were the areas where the Goblin King held the advantage over Kang Jun-hyeok.

Conversely, what did Kang Jun-hyeok have over the Goblin King? The answer was simple.

The Tower’s system.

The absolute law gifted by the new master of the universe.

In that case.

Kang Jun-hyeok tightened his grip on his sword. He kicked off and rushed toward the Goblin King at high speed. The Goblin King brought down his great sword with a roar.

Clang clang clang!

In the village where flames flickered, great sword and sword collided. The Goblin King’s attacks were extremely fierce. With attacks that clearly utilized his advantage, Kang Jun-hyeok was slowly pushed back.

And finally.

Clang clang clang!

The great sword swung upward roughly knocked away Kang Jun-hyeok’s defense.

“Die!”

The Goblin King stepped forward and brought his sword down. Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword hand had been knocked back. Pulling the sword back for defense was impossible.

So, Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t defend with his sword.

He extended his other hand toward the descending sword.

“Foolish, act!”

The Goblin King bared his teeth. He immediately grasped the intention to sacrifice an arm for a counterattack. He put even more strength into his grip on the great sword. It contained enough power to bisect the body along with the arm.

The great sword and arm made contact.

Clang clang clang!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm barely deflected the Goblin King’s great sword.

The Goblin King’s eyes widened.

“…How!”

He had put his full strength into it. It wasn’t power that human flesh could withstand. Yet there wasn’t a single scratch on Kang Jun-hyeok’s arm.

According to conventional logic, the arm should have been severed as the Goblin King predicted.

But Kang Jun-hyeok was a Player of the Tower.

His body, protected by the system, would only lose health from attacks, but wouldn’t suffer physical damage.

That was the Tower’s law.

For Players, the body itself was a tool. Kang Jun-hyeok understood this fact better than anyone.

The Goblin King had put his full strength into killing Kang Jun-hyeok in one blow. Since he hadn’t thought about what came after, he was inevitably full of openings.

So, Kang Jun-hyeok quickly gripped his sword with both hands. He took his stance and stepped forward with near-perfect form.

Single Sword Thrust.

A sharp sword strike aimed for the Goblin King’s heart. Truly a near-perfect attack. The Goblin King hastily pulled his body back.

Thunk!

The sword tip pierced through the Goblin King’s chest.

The Goblin King staggered and fell.

“You, bastard…”

“To dodge in this situation. You’re like a monster. Really.”

Kang Jun-hyeok was impressed. He hadn’t been able to pierce deep into the heart. It was a serious wound, but not quite fatal.

If it were just a goblin, that would be enough to kill it, but his opponent was the Goblin King. His health would be quite high. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his arm.

“I deflected as much as I could, but 150 was consumed? If my health wasn’t high, I would have died.”

He had judged that he could endure with his current health, but it was tremendous damage. He too had made a gamble.

And Kang Jun-hyeok had earned his reward.

Against a clearly superior opponent, he had landed a proper hit using sword techniques.

And the Tower always rewarded great achievements.

 

[Your Sword Technique proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Your Sword Technique proficiency has risen from F to E.]

 

The Goblin King is strong.

Even for Kang Jun-hyeok, winning in a direct confrontation would be difficult.

That was until now.

“Then, let’s try again.”

“…Strange, trick!”

The Goblin King gritted his teeth and charged. Despite being seriously wounded, the power and speed in his sword remained unchanged. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled and raised his sword.

Clang clang clang!

The great sword was swung roughly. Until now, Kang Jun-hyeok had been unable to easily respond to the power and reach advantage contained within and could only be pushed back.

But not anymore.

The Goblin King’s eyes wavered.

Kang Jun-hyeok’s movements had changed. Much smoother than before, with cleaner distribution of power.

‘Enlighten, ment?’

No. No, it wasn’t that kind of feeling.

Just purely, the technique itself had improved.

“What did you do…”

Thud.

Kang Jun-hyeok stepped forward.

Acquiring Passive Skills was extremely difficult.

You had to execute them near-perfectly countless times to barely obtain them. For an ordinary Player to acquire 10 Passive Skills, they would need to reach the 30th Floor.

But they were that powerful. Once you acquired a Passive Skill, it provided correction to your abilities.

Simply put, if a Passive Skill’s proficiency was F, you could handle second-rate level sword techniques.

And what level of sword technique would you gain when Sword Technique proficiency reached E?

A realm that only those with talent, not ordinary people, could achieve after years of training.

First-rate.

Proficiency E allowed you to reach the realm of first-rate.

The system’s correction was violent to the point of brutality. That was one of the Tower’s rewards.

Clang clang clang!

Kang Jun-hyeok’s swordplay, with his increased Sword Technique proficiency, was clearly different from before. The Goblin King roughly brought down his great sword. Kang Jun-hyeok moved his sword to deflect the attack.

Then the sword moved naturally. As if reading its master’s intention, it cleanly and perfectly deflected the force.

Swish!

Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword. A cut was carved into the Goblin King’s arm.

“Grgh!”

The Goblin King retreated with a groan. Panicked by the sudden change, the Goblin King still used his head to seek victory.

‘The flow, has shifted.’

He had to reverse this flow. As the Goblin King pondered the method, he saw building debris falling from the sky. The debris was covered in flames, enough to burn the entire area.

Use that debris. Making a quick decision, the Goblin King used all his strength to step back. He judged that even if Kang Jun-hyeok tried to pursue, he would have no choice but to retreat as the debris fell.

That was the Goblin King’s greatest mistake.

Kang Jun-hyeok ignored the debris and kicked forward. The debris fell to the ground, creating flames that engulfed his body. The Goblin King’s eyes widened. It was tantamount to suicide.

Whoosh!

But from within the flames, Kang Jun-hyeok emerged once again.

Not a single burn mark appeared on his body.

It was the power of the Fire Resistance skill.

“Gah!”

The Goblin King hastily grabbed his weapon, but his posture was disrupted from using all his strength to retreat. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t miss that opening and thrust his sword.

Thunk.

The sword pierced through the Goblin King’s heart. He put strength into his legs. Driving the sword deep, he pushed him all the way to the wall.

Crash!

The Goblin King’s body shook violently as it hit the wall. Blood spurted from his mouth.

“Cough!”

Kang Jun-hyeok withdrew his sword. The Goblin King slumped down with his back against the wall.

“That was tough.”

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered quietly. If the Goblin King hadn’t made that wrong judgment at the end, he would have struggled.

He didn’t have much leeway to begin with. His remaining health was 50. It was low enough that he could die from a single hit. The Goblin King was that formidable an opponent.

The Goblin King sitting on the ground opened his mouth.

“Monster… you are.”

“What? You’re not dead?”

Despite suffering a fatal wound with his heart pierced, the Goblin King had not died.

His health was beyond Kang Jun-hyeok’s expectations. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly grabbed his sword. The Goblin King spoke weakly.

“It’s the vitality, of a variant. Only for a moment. I’ll die soon.”

“Ah. I see.”

“…You, are.”

There was confusion in the Goblin King’s eyes as he looked at Kang Jun-hyeok.

A body that deflected his full power.

Sword technique skill that suddenly rose to the next level.

And despite being completely engulfed by fierce flames that arose from consuming oil, he didn’t suffer a single burn.

“You, where did you come from.”

Strange. It was alien.

At least he wasn’t some village resident. To that question, Kang Jun-hyeok answered.

“Somewhere else. Not from here.”

“Somewhere, else? What does that mean…”

The Goblin King’s head dropped as he tried to speak. He was dead.

Looking at the corpse, Kang Jun-hyeok thought.

‘Maybe this guy was also climbing the Tower.’

Though he was a goblin, if he was this special, it was possible. He had never seen him in his previous life, but the universe was vast, so there was a possibility.

 

[Level Up.]

[Level Up.]

[Health + 60]

[Strength + 3]

[Speed + 1]

[Achievement + 2]

 

[Sword Technique proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Fire Resistance proficiency has increased.]

 

“Phew.”

Victory.

Perhaps because he used Fire Resistance during the battle, its proficiency increased as well. Manbyeonggi muttered.

[You won. And in this manner too.]

Honestly, it couldn’t be certain. From Manbyeonggi’s perspective, the Goblin King was clearly stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok. Since Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t have any special active skills, it thought it wouldn’t be easy.

But Kang Jun-hyeok had won.

And he did so by perfectly utilizing the Tower’s system.

[The Fake Tower is sophisticated enough to understand to this extent? This is quite surprising.]

The Fake Tower created by the defeated. Manbyeonggi knew that one could learn the Tower’s system in advance there, but it didn’t know about its interior.

As Manbyeonggi thought Kang Jun-hyeok had been there, it had no choice but to upgrade its evaluation of the Fake Tower’s structure. Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged without answering.

“Whatever the case, it’s over.”

The fierce flames that erupted engulfed the entire Goblin Village. The goblins who lost their king and fled screaming were being eliminated one by one by the soldiers.

There was one remaining problem.

The fire burning the entire Goblin Village in the middle of the forest.

Naturally, a forest fire was inevitable. Even now, sparks were flying bit by bit.

“I should retreat soon.”

Kang Jun-hyeok went to find the Guard Captain who was eliminating the goblins. Seeing Kang Jun-hyeok, he welcomed him with a bright smile.

“Kang Jun-hyeok! You’re safe! What happened!”

“I defeated it.”

The Guard Captain’s eyes widened.

“You defeated that monster? My goodness.”

“By the way, Captain. The fire will spread. I think it would be good to prepare in advance.”

“Ah. Right.”

The Guard Captain hastily came to his senses. He quickly withdrew the soldiers from the forest.

The flames that burned the Goblin Village soon spread to the forest as well.

However, as a result of the Guard Captain quickly setting backfires and watering the trees, more than half the forest burned but the fire didn’t spread beyond that.

The weather itself was quite humid to begin with, which made the choice to set fires possible.

Returning to the village, the Guard Captain said.

The goblins that tormented us no longer exist.

We have now gained our freedom.

At those words, the villagers rejoiced and collapsed in relief. Those who had been taken hostage embraced their families and shed tears. Happiness enveloped the entire village.

And for Kang Jun-hyeok, a system window appeared that truly announced the end.

 

[2nd Floor Progress Quest Complete.]

[Quest has ended.]

[Go find the Guard Captain.]
