All Master of 100 Floors Episode 154
31st Floor. Empire from Somewhere (2)
[Title: Now these kinds of things are appearing…]
[Really. What is this? It’s strange. And threatening. I can feel clear killing intent.]
[What exactly are these hostile things that are trying to kill us?]
* * *
[…]
Pixie’s mouth fell wide open.
After a long moment, she came to her senses and fumblingly checked the gold Kang Jun-hyeok possessed. And her mouth opened even wider.
[It’s real…? You got this from the test, right? What exactly did you do?]
“I received various kinds of help from many people.”
[…Probably duels. Duels where you received gold as payment. With your current skills, the players would have gladly accepted.]
Pixie succeeded in finding the answer through her own reasoning. She let out an exclamation.
[Amazing. And greedy too. You found a way to earn gold even in that situation?]
“I couldn’t just waste such a rare opportunity, could I?”
[Normally, people wouldn’t think of that as an opportunity. Anyway, good. You have enough gold. Here. Take them!]
[You have obtained an Advanced Active Skill Box.]
[You have obtained an Advanced Active Skill Box.]
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.
“Thank you.”
[You’re really a strange guy. And… now it’s the 31st Floor? Hmm. That place.]
Pixie wore a mysterious smile.
[I’ll be looking forward to it.]
With those words, Pixie departed.
Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the boxes with anticipation.
Advanced Skills.
You had to pay fifty thousand gold to obtain them. Even those who had entered the mid-50th Floor at this point barely had one, and now he could get two more.
Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t hesitate. He immediately opened one of the boxes.
[You have acquired Active Skill: Anti Field.]
[Active Skill: Anti Field]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Deploys a field around the body proportional to health and defense. The field defends against all attacks directed at you and is consumed in proportion to the attacks received.]
“Anti Field.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes lit up.
It forms a field around the body proportional to health and defense. Through the field, attacks can be perfectly defended against.
With power close to superpowers, it was among the top-tier skills for defense.
And then the next Advanced Skill.
[You have acquired Active Skill: Thousand Pound Weight.]
[Active Skill: Thousand Pound Weight]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Increases your weight in proportion to health and strength.]
“Not bad.”
Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.
Thousand Pound Weight. Theoretically around 600kg, but the weight increased in proportion to health and strength.
His past life self had also used this skill.
When he wielded it then, gravity itself was distorted by the weight.
With his current stats, crushing the ground should be possible.
From Advanced Skills onward, these were skills his past life self had used as his main arsenal. He had already obtained three of them. It was extremely enjoyable.
“Then shall we head to the next floor soon.”
31st Floor.
What was there again?
After thinking for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok soon remembered. He let out a laugh.
‘Now I understand why Pixie said she was looking forward to it.’
The Victors currently ruling the universe.
They were the enemies of Players.
But up to the 30th Floor, there was no particular occasion to meet them.
The Hunger Growing in the Cracks on Floor 5 required qualifications. Ordinary Players couldn’t even face it.
The slime creatures on the 22nd Floor merely terraformed planets and didn’t actively show killing intent toward Players.
But the 31st Floor was different.
There existed a true enemy in every sense – one that held pure hostility and sought to kill, the first real adversary Players would encounter.
31st Floor.
That was the floor where a Great War Victor had taken residence.
* * *
[31st Floor Quest.]
[Survive for one week.]
Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 31st Floor.
What he saw there was an endlessly vast dirt field.
At first glance, it was clean enough to be mistaken for cultivated farmland.
But upon closer inspection, it was the complete opposite.
No matter how wide he spread his vision, he couldn’t see any vegetation. All that was visible was inorganic dirt. There was a strong hostility, as if life itself could not be tolerated.
This was an attack.
Something had attacked this world and turned it into a dirt field.
And Kang Jun-hyeok knew what that something was. He looked up at the sky.
Black light was striking down at him from the sky. Kang Jun-hyeok kicked off the ground.
Kugugung!
The light pierced through where Kang Jun-hyeok had been standing like a barrage of missiles. In an instant, holes were drilled into the ground and dirt scattered violently.
Kugugugugugung…
Massive holes appeared in the ground.
Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.
“How brutal.”
Black light attacks coming irregularly from the sky.
Surviving these attacks for one week was precisely the goal of the 31st Floor.
Naturally, Kang Jun-hyeok had no intention of simply enduring. He read the trajectory of the incoming black light and headed toward its source.
Kiiing!
Black light struck down from the sky periodically. The closer he got to the trajectory, the shorter the attack intervals became, and the faster the speed. Even a Player from the 40th Floor would be hard-pressed just to dodge.
Of course, it held no particular meaning for Kang Jun-hyeok. He lightly kicked off the ground. The black light futilely pierced through the earth.
And at the end of that trajectory, Kang Jun-hyeok saw what was firing the black light.
A warship was floating in the sky.
The warship had an extremely bizarre appearance. Machines were tangled and mixed together in every direction, with no trace of rules or order to be found. Even with his Observation Skill, it was impossible to understand how it operated.
That thing wasn’t from Earth.
[Victor of the Great War. You have encountered a warship of the Empire from Somewhere.]
* * *
[A warship of the Empire from Somewhere. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one.]
Manbyeonggi muttered.
[Those things are one of the Victors of the Great War. The empire is literally what it means.]
They appeared together with the Victors.
Armed with countless battleships and all sorts of strange weapons, they began attacking the universe.
And they had a very distinctive characteristic.
Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the warship.
The warship had a distorted pillar-like pattern carved into it.
That pattern was precisely the identification token of the Empire from Somewhere.
Every single being from the Empire had identification tokens embedded in them without exception.
Their purpose was singular.
To devour countless planets and absorb their energy.
On the ground, planetary energy was being sucked toward the warship from massive pillars embedded in the earth.
They moved their warships with their own identification tokens. They consumed planets and absorbed the energy from those places. Anyone who tried to stop them was completely eliminated.
It was like an imperial invasion.
That’s why people gave them the name Empire from Somewhere. They were one of the Victors most actively attacking the universe.
Kiiiiing!
The Empire’s warship began moving to eliminate the intruder. Black light poured out from the warship all at once. Kang Jun-hyeok moved quickly.
Kuguuuuuung!
Everything in the world that touched the black light died. The already devastated area became even more ruined.
That warship was what had killed all life on this planet.
If it was a weak planet, that single warship could destroy it. The previous Earth had been the same.
A being capable of destroying planets single-handedly.
Such a Victor was trying to kill a Player.
That’s why Kang Jun-hyeok smiled.
Kiiing!
Black light shot down from the sky. It had absolute superiority over all forces in the universe. There was no way to counter it except defending with pure mass.
Kang Jun-hyeok gripped his sword tighter. He swung it roughly toward the light.
Kagagagagagak!
The light was cut and deflected away.
Confusion mixed with the rising killing intent. Kang Jun-hyeok swung his sword.
“Unfortunately, I’m a Player.”
Superiority in compatibility didn’t work on him.
Kiiiiing!
The black light pouring from the sky became even more powerful.
Kang Jun-hyeok evaded while looking at the stake embedded in the ground.
The warship was receiving endless energy supply through that stake. Without destroying it, he would be outnumbered.
He had to destroy the stake first.
[Instant Acceleration.]
[Anti Field.]
His body’s speed increased. A translucent barrier wrapped around his body. Kang Jun-hyeok steadied his breathing.
[Charge.]
Kuuuuung!
His body rushed toward the stake.
The warship hastily poured out black light all at once. But it only scraped away at the barrier without dealing damage to his body.
Uuuuuuung!
Having decided to gather and unleash all its power at once, light gathered in the warship’s main cannon.
With the power contained within that, it could shatter the barrier and blow him away immediately.
So at the moment just before firing, Kang Jun-hyeok raised his finger.
[Judgment of Law.]
The warship’s speed decreases by 20%.
The firing speed slows due to the sudden burden. If the speed had been slow from the beginning, he would have adjusted the attack’s trajectory accordingly, but there was nothing he could do about it slowing down mid-attack. The light grazed right past Kang Jun-hyeok’s back.
Kugugugugung!
The distance to the stake was now 1km. Kang Jun-hyeok drew his spear.
[One-Point Pierce.]
Swaaaash!
His body accelerated instantly, closing the distance. Before the warship could respond, the spear pierced through the stake.
Craaack!
The stake shook violently. Kang Jun-hyeok applied even more force to his spear.
[Sword Energy Wind Blade.]
[Impact.]
Kwaang!
With an intense wave, the stake broke and collapsed. The energy that had been rising toward the warship was cut off, causing the warship to stagger momentarily.
Kang Jun-hyeok looked up at the sky.
Woooong.
Intense hostility emanated from the warship that had regained its balance. Though he had succeeded in destroying the stake, the warship itself still had energy remaining. Light began gathering as if determined to kill him.
That’s why he smiled and kicked off the ground.
[Crack Movement.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body moved onto the warship.
The emotion emanating from the warship immediately changed to panic.
The absolute Divine Authority to move to any crevice within his line of sight.
He hadn’t used it to destroy the stake because ultimately what needed to be destroyed was the warship. Once he showed it, this thing would immediately respond. He had saved it for the decisive blow.
“Floating in the sky makes my neck hurt from looking up.”
Kang Jun-hyeok lightly pressed down on the warship with his foot.
“So fall down.”
[Thousand Pound Weight.]
